Chen Chuan didn't explain further, and instructed, "Director Hu, please disperse the crowd and have them line up in an orderly manner."

"The rest of you are doing your jobs. The people from the Water Affairs Bureau, follow me into the water room."

After saying this, he gestured for the sailors to step aside and clear the gate, then strode towards the water room.

Hu Changhe was eager to go in and see what abilities this new manor owner had to "revive" the dried-up well, but Chen Chuan's task for him was to evacuate the crowd and maintain order, so he had to stay behind.

Hu Changhai, as the director of the Water Resources Department, was named to follow Chen Chuan into the water room. However, he was skeptical of Chen Chuan's promises. Two bowls of water per person per day was a huge consumption.

The others shared similar thoughts with Hu Changhai, all feeling that Chen Chuan's words were too extravagant. Under the current conditions, it was already a blessing for the people to have water to drink, and two bowls a day per person was enough to enable them to participate in labor.

But if Chen Chuan can truly deliver on his promises, the revival of Taipingzhuang is just around the corner!

"Young Master, when did you awaken your water-based spiritual veins?"

Geng Hu, who was Chen Chuan's bodyguard, stayed by Chen Chuan's side the whole time. He was also shocked by Chen Chuan's "water control" technique in the council hall.

He had always regarded Chen Chuan as a spoiled brat, hoping that the other party would not cause any trouble in Taipingzhuang, or at least not cause any major chaos.

As a result, Chen Chuan gave him a "big surprise," and after arriving at Taiping Village, he directly became a water-based cultivator!

Where is the spoiled brat we were promised?

How did it suddenly change to a story of a spoiled brat's rise to power?

Geng Hu was prepared to "lie down" in Taiping Village, since there was no point in developing in this godforsaken place. But if Young Master Chen Chuan really awakened the water-type spiritual vein and became a water-type cultivator, that would be a different story.

As Chen Chuan's personal bodyguard and a "veteran" who came from Shanghe County, his future is limitless!

After all, a water-based cultivator is always an honored guest, holding a high status, no matter where they are.

If Chen Chuan had awakened his water-based spiritual veins and become a water-based cultivator back in Shanghe City, he wouldn't have been exiled even if he had slept with his sister-in-law, let alone plotted against her!

"It doesn't matter when you awakened, you must keep this a secret and don't send any messages to Shanghe City."

Chen Chuan whispered his instructions. He knew that Geng Hu was his mother's man, and that his mother had sent him here entirely for her own safety. It was a full two thousand miles from Shanghe City to Taiping Village. In this desert era, transportation was extremely inconvenient. The journey of two thousand miles would take about fifteen days. During the journey, he would inevitably encounter sand demons or water bandits. If he did not have the protection of a master, he might not be able to reach Taiping Village smoothly.

Geng Hu's message to his mother was not malicious; it was mostly just a report on his situation in Taipingzhuang. However, Chen Chuan did not want to expose himself too early.

For example, when he first arrived in this world, he was already a Life Source Master, and because of the existence of his cheat, he was much stronger than ordinary Life Source Masters. However, he only claimed to be a water attribute cultivator, which can be considered as hiding his true strength.

Before he fully developed, it was best to reveal as little of his strength as possible. However, he did not expect that his identity as a water-attribute cultivator alone would shock the entire village.

"Don't worry, young master, I will keep my mouth shut!"

Geng Hu immediately stated that he knew Chen Chuan did not regard him as a true confidant, after all, he was sent by the Madam.

Originally, Geng Hu didn't think much of it; after all, loyalty to the lady and loyalty to the young master were no different. But now it's different. Chen Chuan is a water-attribute cultivator, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely achieve great things in the future. He needs to be absolutely loyal to his subordinates.

Geng Hu was a smart man, and he quickly made a decision. He would release the carrier pigeons on time as instructed when he came to his wife, but he would not mention that Chen Chuan was already a water-attribute cultivator.

The water room was spacious, about 200 square meters. In the middle was a well about one meter in diameter, and on both sides were four rows of huge water vats. At this moment, three of the rows of vats were empty, while one row of vats was covered tightly with a wooden lid, obviously containing water. This water was a reserve and could not be used unless it was a matter of life and death.

Chen Chuan walked to the well and looked at it; it was bottomless and pitch black.

"Master, this well has dried up. Is it really possible to draw water from it?"

Hu Changhai frowned and asked.

"You'll know once you try it."

"For the next fifteen minutes, do not let anyone disturb me. Everyone face outwards and protect the gate for me!"

Chen Chuan gave an instruction and then sat cross-legged beside the well.

Upon hearing the order, Hu Changhai dared not delay and immediately ordered the sailors to stand shoulder to shoulder, facing outwards, surrounding Chen Chuan and the well in the middle.

He was actually very curious about how Chen Chuan was going to operate, but since Chen Chuan had given prior orders to make everyone face each other, he could only suppress his curiosity.

Geng Hu stood behind Chen Chuan, one hand on the hilt of his knife, in a wary posture. He was also very curious about how Chen Chuan would revive Yikou Kujie. He stared at Chen Chuan with his leopard eyes wide open.

At this moment, Chen Chuan's consciousness had entered the space he carried with him. This world was hazy and gray, except for a spring of spiritual water flowing by, as if everything was locked.

Spirit Spring Level: 1

Available clones: 5 (0/5)

You can collect 3 liters of spiritual liquid (a level 1 spiritual spring produces 1 liters of spiritual liquid daily).

Upgrade requirement: Nourish 10,000 subjects.

Upgrade effect: Unknown.

Chen Chuan had been to this space many times. According to his observation, time in the outside world did not stop each time he entered the space. However, when he entered the space, his physical body was in a state similar to sleep, and he had almost no ability to resist danger. Therefore, he had to be in a safe environment when entering the space.

The reason he dared to promise water would be available in an hour was because a level 1 spiritual spring could have 5 clones, and he only needed to place one of the clones at the bottom of the well.

However, Chen Chuan had not yet tried to use this clone. As his consciousness approached the spiritual spring, a line of text suddenly appeared on the spiritual spring.

[Yes] [No] Activate the Spirit Spring Clone?

That's it!

Chen Chuan couldn't help but laugh and immediately issued the command: "Yes!"

As the command was issued, Chen Chuan's body trembled, and his consciousness withdrew from the space. He opened his eyes and found that a phantom of a spiritual spring was floating in mid-air. If nothing unexpected happened, only he could see this phantom, because Geng Hu was still staring straight at him and did not even glance at the spiritual spring floating in the air.

Chen Chuan waved his hand in the air, and the spiritual spring moved up and down in the direction of his hand. Clearly, this spiritual spring clone obeyed his command completely and could be placed wherever he wanted.

Chen Chuan found it amusing, so he kept waving his hand and changing direction, making the spirit spring spin around in mid-air a few times before finally aiming it at the well and dropping it down.

boom!

Although the spiritual spring was an illusion, its falling into the well caused a "strange phenomenon." A beam of white light shot up from the well, crashed through the roof, and soared into the sky!
