Time passed by slowly . As the fragments continued to merge, Wei Xiao Bei started to find the matching pieces faster and faster .

However, as more fragments were merged, the green light started to rise higher and higher . By the sixteenth fragment, the green light rose two hundred meters into the air and its radius enveloped the entirety of the valley .

At this rate, the green light would be over twenty kilometers high when the last fragment was merged . Its radius would also cover Phoenixhead Mountain completely .

Wei Xiao Bei begin to worry . In the end, the twenty-kilometer tall beam of green light might attract the attention of many people .

It was less conspicuous in the day, but now that it was near midnight, even a one-kilometer tall beam of light would be seen by the majority of Cui Hu City, let alone one that was twenty kilometers tall .

Wei Xiao Bei frowned, but he did not stop working .

Soon, the thirty-third fragment was merged with the other pieces .

The green light that rushed into the air exceeded Wei Xiao Bei’s expectations . It had to be over thirty kilometers in height .

The constantly rising light had already attracted a lot of attention from the outside world . Wei Xiao Bei’s [Response Search] had even picked up on a squad of policemen four hundred meters away from him with flashlights and batons in hand .

Fortunately, this was the last fragment he had left .

Wei Xiao Bei let out a breath of relief and pieced the fragment together with the rest .

All of a sudden, green light rose from the ground and surged into the air in the blink of an eye before rapidly spreading in every direction .

It was a massive commotion . What Wei Xiao Bei didn’t know was that the green light had charged out of the atmosphere at over a hundred kilometers in height . It had also spread outward to its surroundings . Apart from Phoenixhead Mountain, the light had reached over twenty kilometers away and was already approaching the urban regions of Cui Hu City .

It wasn’t just Cui Hu City . This beam of light was so large that everyone within two thousand kilometers could see it .

Which is to say that a good half of the people in China had seen it .

The police were already very close .

They were only a hundred meters away now .

There was no doubt about it . Even they had been stunned by this sudden burst of green light .

Wei Xiao Bei didn’t want to run into them . As such, he couldn’t stay to examine the final product . Instead, he grabbed it and placed it in his storage bracelet before charging up the waterfall as quick as lightning . In the blink of an eye, he had vanished without a trace .

Setting aside the commotion and myriad of rumors caused by the green light, Wei Xiao Bei started to run forward along the river rapidly once he had ascended the waterfall . He then ran for over a hundred kilometers . It wasn’t until he reached the depths of the Phoenixhead Mountains and the pool he once used for his cultivation experiments .

Even if someone wanted to find him in this old forest, it would be considerably difficult . Keeping an eye on him would also be significantly more troublesome .

Wei Xiao Bei sat down by the pool and took out the merged fragments from his storage bracelet .

No, there were no longer fragments .

More accurately, they had become a deep plate that was green and round, the top of which was decorated with pretty patterns . A drop of crystal clear emerald liquid rolled about the plate slowly as he moved his wrist .

A refreshing aura filled with vitality washed over Wei Xiao Bei, causing him to feel invigorated .

This green plate wasn’t exactly complete yet . There was still some damage at its edge . It was a very minor imperfection . The missing pieces added together wouldn’t even be the size of a single fragment from before .

Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate at all . He opened his eyes and stared at the green plate and its attributes appeared before him .

Name: The Pedestal of the Fountain of Youth (Damaged, Artifact)

Description: This item is one of the most priceless treasures of the Nordic pantheon . It was destroyed during Ragnarok and split into thirty-four fragments . The fragments were then found and merged by the host . It remains slightly damaged and requires a certain time to completely recover .

Effect 1: Produce Spring Water . Due to its slight damage, the Pedestal can only produce one drop of Spring Water of Youth per day .

Effect 2: Welling Youth . When two hundred drops of Spring Water is collected in the Pedestal, Welling Youth will be triggered . [Unending Spring] will be activated within a hundred-meter radius, increasing the quality and rate at which all plants grow .

Effect 3: Fountain of Youth . When a thousand drops of Spring Water is collected in the Pedestal, the Fountain of Youth will form from the Pedestal . [Eternal Youth] will trigger within a thousand-meter radius, slowing the rate at which living beings grow and greatly increasing their quality .

Effect 4: ????

Effect 5: ????

… .

It seemed like Effect 4 and 5 would only activate once this Pedestal had completely recovered .

However, the current effects already satisfied Wei Xiao Bei immensely .

After all, he had always been troubled by the fact that he could not cook more Immortal-quality dishes .

The main obstacle in doing so was the lack of proper ingredients .

Cooking Immortal dishes demanded both luck and high-quality ingredients .

Luck was pretty easy to understand and very difficult to grasp . Wei Xiao Bei didn’t dare to claim he had the guarantee of producing an Immortal dish even if he had consumed luck-enhancing treasures like the Fortune Tea .

Apart from this, a large number of high-quality ingredients and seasonings was also a crucial element .

Wei Xiao Bei had harvested plenty of excellent seasonings near the Bai Ta Dust World . Their quality was much higher than seasoning from the real world . However, even the best of them didn’t reach High quality .

Now that he had the Pedestal of the Fountain of Youth, he only needed to wait until it filled with a hundred drops of Spring Water . This would then trigger [Welling Youth], creating [Unending Spring] within a hundred-meter radius and allowing plants to grow faster and at a better quality .

Though he didn’t know how effective this increase in quality was, it should at least elevate the plants above High quality .

The [Fountain of Youth] effect appeared to be even more powerful . Collect a thousand drops of Spring Water and it could create an [Eternal Youth] effect within a thousand-meter radius .

Do not assume that slowing the growth rate of living beings was a negative effect .

Put in plain terms, an immortal person was essentially someone whose growth had been halted .

The quality-increasing impact of this effect was probably even more significant .

A plan hatched in Wei Xiao Bei’s mind at the thought of this . If he built a farm with this pedestal as the foundation, could he cultivate all sorts of special ingredients, and then be able to obtain an endless supply of ingredients of excellent quality?

The best location for the farm would have to be in the real world . Wei Xiao Bei didn’t have much time to protect his farm if it was placed in the Dust World .

However, if this was the real world, there would still be plenty of problems . After all, even the most excellent species of animals and plants in the real world could not compare to the plants and monsters of the Dust World in quality .

Wei Xiao Bei thought about the plan and started to grow slightly frustrated .

Of course, such problems weren’t difficult to solve .

After all, Wei Xiao Bei wasn’t trying to bring back any particularly powerful monsters back to the real world .

The Bai Ta Storage Bracelet could not contain creatures with intelligence . Wouldn’t he just need to find some creatures without intelligence then?

Wei Xiao Bei relaxed slightly at the thought of this . He then shifted his eyes toward the bead of liquid in the Pedestal .

Name: Spring Water of Youth (Immortal Quality)

Description: This item was what the Norse gods used to drink in the past to resist the touch of age and to extend their lifespan .

Effect 1: Consuming this item can increase lifespan . Every drop can increase your lifespan by fifty years .

Effect 2: Consuming ten drops at once will allow one to obtain eternal youth and a lifespan of a thousand years . There is no upper limit to the lifespan increased through this effect .

Effect 3: Consuming this item will heal your wounds based on the amount consumed .

Effect 4: Consuming one drop of this item can increase Vitality by 1 point and Charm by 2 points . Once the two main attributes have been increased by 20 points, the effect of consuming this item will be halved . Once the two main attributes have been increased by 40 points, there will no longer be any effects .

Effect 5: Consuming ten drops of this item will allow the host to permanently resist mental exhaustion in the Dust World .

Effect 6: This item can be vaporized . Any living being that breathes in its vapor will gain an unknown effect of activated muscles and stimulated spirits .

… . .

Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help but draw in a breath of cold air after reading through the effects of the Spring Water of Youth .

This Spring Water was truly god’s nectar .

A single drop could increase lifespan by fifty years, while ten drops could provide eternal youth and a lifespan of a thousand years .

Wei Xiao Bei almost felt like this was a fantasy come true, like the ginseng fruit from Journey to the West, where simply smelling the fruit would allow one to live to three hundred and sixty years while eating it would allow one to live to forty-seven thousands years of age .

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei could tell that Effect 1 had its limitations .

Otherwise, Effect 2 wouldn’t specify that consuming ten drops at once would have no upper limit in increasing lifespan .

This limit for Effect 1 should be around a thousand years of lifespan . This meant that no matter how much Spring Water of Youth you drank, you could only increase your lifespan by a thousand years .

If you drank the Spring Water of Youth one drop at a time, then you would also be limited to a maximum of a thousand years of lifespan .

Effect 3 warranted no explanation . It should also be more superior in its effects compared to the Lesser Spring Water .

The most crucial point of the Spring Water was Effect 4, the ability to increase Vitality and Charm .

Based on its description, an ordinary human only needed to consume ten drops of Spring Water of Youth and their creature rank would rise to Two-Star Elite . Consume twenty-five drops and they would firmly rise to Three-Star .

Of course, a Two-Star and Three-Star like that would be understandably weak at combat . After all, without any special skills as a supplement, Vitality, and Charm alone provided no means of fighting .

The permanent resistance to mental exhaustion from the Dust World was an effect that should exist . After all, the Spring Water of Youth was of much higher quality than the Lesser Spring Water . It would not be very impressive if it couldn’t provide such an effect .

Meanwhile, there was Effect 6 . Wei Xiao Bei took the drop of Spring Water from the Pedestal .

A fragrance immediately spread throughout the air . In just a few moments, Wei Xiao Bei started feeling as if something was off . He had become fully erect . As such, Wei Xiao Bei quickly returned the Spring Water to the Pedestal .

He then calmed himself down and breathed .

What a tremendous effect!

It was as powerful as the most intense of aphrodisiacs .

Just smelling it alone had caused a reaction in someone as powerful as Wei Xiao Bei .
