Chapter 341: Chapter 337: Water Purification (Extra Updates at Month End for Rankings Push)

Lily dragged the shell box with one hand and held Mu Ying’s hand with the other as they swam out of the Mermaid Village and returned to the Undersea Planting Camp, where she dropped the box on the ground.

Eagerly she asked, "Shall we start with learning Water Tide or start with planting?"

"I still have some mana left, let’s nourish the seabed in the camp first," Mu Ying replied, "That way, the plants will grow better later on."

"Is it Plant Nourishment? I heard that it involves casting spells on the land, right?" Lily asked curiously.

Mu Ying nodded, "You seem to know quite a lot, are you familiar with a druid’s spells too?"

"Hehe, I learned about it when hearing others talk about Yingying’s history of struggles in the territory," Lily said bashfully as she was complimented.

Mu Ying automatically ignored the so-called "Yingying’s history of struggles." After seeing last year’s New Year’s movie, she lost interest in such matters.

"When we plant corals, we also use Water Purification to purify the seawater, which is beneficial for the growth of coral too. Maybe I can help as well!" Lily offered.

"Okay!" Mu Ying had never seen this Water Purification, "My spell casting might take seven to eight hours, and I might stand here without moving during that time, so don’t worry."

Lily nodded, "The casting time for Water Purification is also quite long."

A mermaid and a fish began to cast spells at the center of the camp.

Mu Ying connected with natural power, extending it toward the ground, while Lily’s tail began to glow and gather energy.

Mu Ying cast her spells silently, like a statue.

Lily, however, waited until her tail’s glow reached a certain intensity before darting it forward.

A faint glimmer started from her tail and rippled forward, forming a wave of water patterns.

Then she continued to gather energy, dart her tail to cast a spell, gather energy, and dart her tail again.

She shifted from behind Mu Ying to her left, then the front, then the right, dazzling around her in a full circle with her tail.

"Whew~" Lily rolled her eyes, her tail limply hanging as she swayed back and forth in the camp, feeling nearly as drained as a dried fish.

Turning her head to see Mu Ying still standing still, she sighed, "Yingying is really diligent! I can’t be lazy either, keep going!"

Her Water Purification’s range of effect wasn’t very large, and with such a large camp, she had to continuously cast the spell many times.

Her tail was about to cramp from all the shaking.

When Mu Ying finished casting her spell and opened her eyes, she saw Lily with her tail stretched straight out, limply lying on the seabed, completely motionless.

What’s happened? Is Water Purification supposed to be performed lying down?

She swam over a few steps, and Lily immediately felt the disturbance in the water, opened her eyes, and straightened up, bouncing her tail towards Mu Ying, "Yingying, you’re finally awake!"

She was moving too slowly, so she controlled the water to push herself closer to Mu Ying.

"What’s happened to your tail?" Mu Ying asked, noticing it seemed unable to bend.

Lily pursed her lips, "I cast spells too many times and got tired."

"?" Mu Ying couldn’t understand and regretted not waiting to see the other cast the spell before using Plant Growth herself.

"It’s getting a bit late, how about we rest first?" Mu Ying took out the Space Travel Box, "How about we make do here for the night? I’ll cook something nice for you."

Lily had a tough day today.

After entering her Space Travel Box, little Lily’s head bobbed, leaving a trailing image: "Mhm mhm mhm!"

Spending another night with Yingying was a good thing!

Mu Ying opened the travel box as usual, using vines to drag Lily into the hot spring tub.

"Tomorrow we will plant Gill Pouch Grass and fish tail grass. After I make the Breathing Potion and Fish Tail Potion, you will be able to rest in the sea water just like you," Mu Ying said.

Lily, leaning on the edge of the tub, curiously asked, "What are Breathing Potion and Fish Tail Potion?"

"Breathing Potion is a potion you drink to breathe underwater, its effect is similar to the Magic Water Breathing spell, but it lasts a bit longer. Fish Tail Potion can transform a person’s legs into a fish tail, making it easier to move underwater. I have been living in Crystal City shown to you before in the Trial World and love using potions to turn my legs into eight octopus tentacles—it makes working so convenient and swimming very fast."

Mu Ying was able to chat with Lily while simultaneously using Cooking Magic.

Things in the Trial World were truly something she had nobody else to talk to about.

Lily is now a very close friend of hers in the real world, and her kindness has made her let down some of her guard.

There was no problem talking about these things with her; she had already used illusions to show her the images, so this wasn’t much different.

"Eek~" Lily imagined the scene, "Yingying, are witches’ preferences in that world always so unique? Octopus tentacles are so ugly!"

Mu Ying couldn’t help but laugh at Lily’s crumpled little expression, "Fish Tail Potion doesn’t only turn you into octopus tentacles. The tails of any sea creature are possible, including mermaid tails. However, none are as useful as octopus tentacles because they can give so many extra hands which makes working convenient. You won’t believe it until you try it—mermaids have been really fond of it recently in the Trial World!"

"So they really are mermaids, not Fishmen?" Lily felt incredible, wondering how mermaids could accept those ugly, bumpy, scale-less octopus tentacles.

"Hahaha!" Mu Ying was definitely not about to admit that the instigator of all this was right in front of her.

After dinner, taking advantage of the lack of water around, she asked Lily to help her translate the Tidal Breathing Technique. If it was too much, she could also make some notes.

Lily sat in the hot spring tub reading from the shell book, while Mu Ying listened and commanded a Quill with Copy Magic to write down key points in her Witch’s Book.

Since the book could recognize an owner and endlessly add blank pages to the back, it was also conveniently portable when shrunk; it was the best medium she had for recording knowledge.

The core of the Tide Meditation Method in the Player Manual’s attribute panel is a universal skill that all spell-related professions can learn.

Once learned, it can accelerate the recovery of Mana Value through meditation, restoring 1-5 Mana per minute depending on the quality of the meditation.

This meant that with her current 170 Mana points, she could fully restore them in a little over two hours at most, or just over half an hour at the minimum. This was much faster than her natural recovery.

However, this skill was not like the profession skills in the Player Manual where Doomsday Game directly imparts skill knowledge into the player’s brain. Learning this skill only requires practicing according to theory and methods.

This skill had to be learned step by step starting from theoretical study, but fortunately, she had a little teacher to help answer questions and solve problems.

The core of the Tide Meditation Method was in the word "tide," requiring enough understanding of water, especially tides, and during meditation, visualizing the natural tides in the Spiritual Sea could help harness the Power of Water to accelerate the recovery of her own Mana Value.
