Seeing this sentence, my expression changed, and I immediately looked at Number One: "Do you feel anything different?"
"Different? If there has to be..." Number One hesitated, then thought carefully. After a moment, he stretched out a hand, and a pale green energy appeared on his palm.
I clearly saw that the pale green energy twisted between his palms, looking extremely strange.
"Is something wrong?" I asked, looking at his hand.
"I vaguely feel that this energy seems to have become stronger..." Number One said with a serious expression, then looked at me curiously, "What exactly did you give me to drink just now?"
"It has no name. I gave it a name myself: Water of Life..." I said with a smile. "But there isn't much of this stuff..."
At this point, I regretted it even more. If I had known this would happen, I should have brought back more.
After all, who knows how much Water of Life was in that huge lake.
"So that's how it is..." Number One gave an awkward smile. "But it makes sense. Good things can't be found everywhere..."
I nodded, remaining silent, but my mind began to ponder.
I wasn't entirely clear about its effects.
At the very least, up until now, I had always believed that the Water of Life could only heal injuries, alleviate hunger to some extent, and help me relieve fatigue.
As for anything else, I hadn't really thought about it carefully.
Now it seemed this stuff had the effect of enhancing cultivation, but for some reason, the effect on me wasn't very obvious.
"What are you thinking about?" Number One asked.
"I'm thinking about something..." I didn't say it directly, then stood up. "Let's go, let's go back!"
Number One nodded and followed me back into the city.
Because of the explosion earlier, the people in the camp hadn't slept very soundly. I felt a bit guilty.
When I returned to my room, I saw Luo Yaqin sitting by the bed, waiting for me.
"You've been waiting for me for a long time, haven't you?" I felt a pang of guilt.
"I know you have a lot to do..." Luo Yaqin said considerately.
"Indeed, there are some urgent matters..." I didn't hide it. The situation I was in now was quite complex.
"But no matter what, you must take care of yourself. We are all relying on you now..." Luo Yaqin said softly. "I'm telling you this because I want you to take care of yourself and not overwork."
"I know, don't worry!" I said with a smile. "Although there is some pressure now, no matter what, this is a very good thing for me. I have enough motivation to do things..."
Luo Yaqin nodded obediently.
I gently hugged her, then pulled up the covers.
An hour later, I got out of bed and found my backpack.
I took out all the Water of Life from it.
Ever since I brought out the Water of Life, I had been using it very sparingly.
On the one hand, I knew it was extremely precious and couldn't be obtained elsewhere.
On the other hand, I could handle most external situations without needing the Water of Life.
The more I used this precious item, the less there was, so the Water of Life I brought out hadn't been finished even after a flask.
I glanced at Luo Yaqin, who was already exhausted, and walked over with concern. I poured out a bottle cap full of Water of Life: "Drink this..."
Seeing the bottle cap I held, Luo Yaqin knew what I was holding and struggled to shake her head: "I don't need it. I know how precious this is, and it will be very useful for you to keep it..."
"Drink it, don't worry. I need to verify something right now..." I said earnestly.
Since the Water of Life could help Number One cultivate, it meant that it had an effect on Shepherd God Power.
Even though Luo Yaqin couldn't cultivate, if she used the Water of Life long-term, she might be able to acquire some of the aura of Shepherd God Power to a certain extent.
With this, combined with my Shepherd God Art, Luo Yaqin could also cultivate to a certain degree.
The amount of Water of Life was limited, and it was currently in an experimental phase, so I dared not act too conspicuously.
If I could allow others to cultivate the Shepherd God Art, I would definitely find a way to let everyone cultivate.
Given the current situation, the strength that Vixi had shown me had already made me somewhat fearful.
Therefore, I had to possess great power to support myself.
And this power had to be under my control.
It was obvious that the people in the city now were the best subordinates.
Moreover, I didn't have to worry about them posing any threat to me.
