Chapter 624.
A water vapor containing abundant spiritual qi came to his face, and Wang Dust was instantly refreshed.
What appeared in front of him was an infinite water swamp.
The smoky waves were dense with mist, and the early morning sunlight shone on the gauze-covered lake surface, raising a seven-colored dazzle.
In the distance, a line of egrets flew by, emitting cheerful chirping.
Below the water surface suddenly clattered, a green skinned fish jumped up high in the air to show their bodies.
Before it could fall back into the water, however, a dark shadow suddenly swooped down.
A pair of sharp claws caught it in a death grip!
The successful eagle spread its wings and flew up, throwing down drops of water.
The law of nature is revealed to the fullest extent in this swamp!
Arriving at his destination, Wang Dust did not rush deep into it, he circled along the edge of the lake and swamp, and only after familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment and determining that there were no hidden dangers, did he slowly dive into the White Dragon Swamp.
Looking for where the mirage converges.
In fact, there was a trace of mirage qi contained in the water vapor of the swamp, but the quantity was so small that trying to replenish the Tai Xuan Mirage Dragon True Form Diagram was like a drop in the bucket, and there was no way to know how long it would take.
Wang Chen didn’t intend to stay here for a year or two.
The edges and outer regions of the White Dragon Great Swamp were still quite safe.
There was a large number of ordinary animals, but demonic beasts were rare, and in order to avoid trouble, Wang Dust went around when he encountered them, preferring to spend more time rather than go out and hunt them.
Hunting demonic beasts was easy, but if he messed with the big guys, then it would be a complete loss!
As the saying goes, after nearly a day of searching, Wang Dust finally found a suitable place.
It was a small watery island with an area of only a dozen acres, with some trees and a large amount of weeds and water plants growing on the island, and apart from a handful of small beasts and birds, there weren’t any demonic beasts inhabiting the island.
Wang Dust found a spring in the center of the island, the water was bubbling and clear, and the water vapor emitted contained a little mirage.
Although the mirage content was not ideal, but the source was endless, and the advantage of renewable continuity was enough to offset the shortcomings in quantity.
Without being greedy, Wang Dust settled here.
The geographical location of this island was very good, the surrounding vision was open and favorable for observation, once the danger appeared, he was able to discover it in the first time, together with the presence of mirage, it was already considered very good.
Wang Chen believed that in the deeper parts of the swamp, there were bound to be places with more mirage.
But the risk also increased exponentially.
There was no need for it then.
Taking out the Tai Xuan Mirage Dragon True Form Diagram, Wang Chen unfolded it and placed it on top of the spring.
This treasure map was able to absorb the mirage on its own, although it was a bit less efficient, but it would free up his hands to do something else.
Wang Chen built a hut next to the spring pool.
Then Wang Dust cast the Withering Technique on the grass and trees near the hut.
Under the urging of his mana, the grass and trees grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the grass vines and branches expanded faster and faster, and within a short time, the hut was surrounded.
Until it was completely covered!
Wang Dust had catalyzed more than just this piece of land, and in order to not make the hut seem abrupt, he expanded the range of the spell casting.
Only after making sure that the hut in the forest was completely hidden, and even the spring pool was perfectly concealed, did Wang Dust start digging tunnels to build a safer shelter.
Digging a tunnel in a watery place was not an easy task, even if Wang Chuan’s mud and stone art had long been practiced to a perfect level, it was still not very effective against the mud that contained a lot of water.
This requires Wang Chuan to first squeeze out the excessive water in the mud, and then solidify it.
In addition, he had to be careful not to destroy the spring water veins, so as not to lose the source of mirage and have to find a new place.
In this way Wang Dust took ten whole days to excavate a deep underground cultivation space.
But this wasn’t enough, he needed to dig out more tunnels.
He could use them to escape when he encountered danger.
Busy every day, Wang Chen felt like a beaver, working hard to survive.
However, his hard work was not in vain, after ten days or so, the mirage in the Taixuan Mirage Dragon True Form Diagram had actually recovered by nearly one-tenth.
Only when the new escape secret passage was dug did Wang Chen settle down and cultivate the Taixuan Mirage Dragon Technique!
There were no years in cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, he had been secluded in the outer region of the White Dragon Great Swamp for almost two months.
After the Taixuan Mirage Dragon Technique broke through the third layer, the rate of increase in experience decreased greatly.
This had a great deal to do with the concentration of mirage qi in the surrounding space, as the Taixuan Mirage Dragon Technique needed to cultivate with the help of mirage qi, in the same way that aura had the same effect on feats.
From the third layer onwards, the Tai Xuan Mirage Dragon Technique’s need for mirage qi doubled several times.
It was what caused Wang Chen’s cultivation progress to be so slow.
In fact, he could also extract the mirage qi from the Tai Xuan Mirage Dragon True Form Diagram to accelerate, but then the role of this precious diagram would be greatly weakened again, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
Wang Chen did not get impatient because of this, the mirage qi was not enough for the cultivation of the Tai Xuan Mirage Dragon Technique, but the White Dragon Great Zea’s spiritual qi was abundant, and he carved out more time to cultivate the Innate Five Elements Technique.
Not wasting half of his time.
Wang Chen planned to leave this place for his next destination once he had broken through to the fourth layer of the Taixuan Mirage Dragon Skill and the Taixuan Mirage Dragon True Form Diagram had stored up enough mirage qi.
On this day, he had just unfolded the Taixuan Mirage Dragon True Form Diagram when suddenly a warning sign appeared in his heart.
Without thinking, Wang Chen executed the Concealed God Technique and restrained his own aura.
At the same time, he quietly unfolded his Divine Sense to explore his surroundings.
Soon several voices entered his ears.
“This should be the place.”
“I came here last year, and I remember that there is a spring on the island, and the spring water is very good for making tea.”
“Huh? How come the trees here have grown so tall?”
“You didn’t find the wrong land, did you?”
“That’s right!”
As they spoke, several figures came through the air and landed in turn on the island where Wang Chen was hiding.
As for Wang Chen himself, he had already hidden in the tunnels.
Since the purpose of the incoming people was clear, the hut that Wang Dust had painstakingly hidden earlier was quickly discovered.
“There’s a house here!”
“I haven’t seen it during last year, it should be newly built.”
“Is there anyone inside?”
“No one.”
Wang Dust built this hut not to live in, but as a “decoration” to hide the existence of the secret passage, it was empty, without any household furnishings.
There were even a lot of weeds and mushrooms growing in the house.
This easily misled the visitors into thinking that no one lived here.
It was also impossible for them to turn over every rock tile on the ground to see if any tunnels existed.
Who would have thought that someone would be digging tunnels in the swamp!
“Stop looking!”
A person said, “Let’s fetch the spring and leave.”
The visitors, three in total, left immediately after fetching the spring water and didn’t stay for much time.
Only after making sure that they had all left did Wang Dust return to the ground.
He was a bit torn.
Should he continue to stay here, or go ahead to a new place?
This was not a simple choice!
