With the advancement of the last warrior, the White Bone Banner had finally reached the peak of its current stage. Before its next advancement, the warrior's Cultivation could no longer be improved. Since he was already in the normal lake water, Du Feng did not need to wear the White Porcelain Bone Armor. It would be troublesome if he was mistaken for a Devil Cultivator in Salt Lake City.
He tried and found that the lake water could not be stored in the Small World in the necklace. The Demonic Ruler was quite interesting. Since there were no more dark matter particles to devour, it had been lying there motionlessly. Apart from the increase in the number of Demonic Crystals, there did not seem to be any major changes. If he guessed correctly, it was still in the Sealed Stage and could not unleash its full strength.
Du Feng did not care about it. In any case, he would use it if he could. The last time he was chased by the old man in the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, Du Feng would rather use the Nether Blood Devil Skill than the Heavenly Devil Ruler because it was too evil.
He gradually floated up along the lake water and observed the scenery in the lake. The situation in this lake was better than that of the waste water lake. At least there were some aquatic plants and there were carps, grass carps, silver carps, and other fish that were not aggressive.
The saltwater in this saltwater lake was not low, but the fish had clearly adapted and were swimming freely in it. A group of red carps swam past Du Feng, not at all wary of him. It seemed that because human warriors rarely hurt them, these carps were not afraid of humans.
Interesting. The residents of Salt Lake City seemed to have reached some sort of balance with the fish in the saltwater lake. They came to the lake to take the lake water to make crystal salt and did not seem to be interested in the fish. It could also be to maintain some kind of ecological balance. If this balance was broken, they would not be able to get crystal salt.
Du Feng had guessed correctly. In fact, there were laws in Salt Lake City that no one was allowed to kill the creatures in the house. Even the aquatic plants were not allowed to be touched.
Du Feng slowly approached the shore and heard people talking in the distance.
"One immortal stone per bucket of lake water. If you need it, come and get it."
"Line up, line up. Those who cause trouble, scram!"
He focused his vision and looked through the thin layer of water. He saw many people lining up with buckets of water. These people were here to get water. After getting the water, they would make crystal salt at home and then consume it for cultivation.
The size of these buckets was standard. If it was too big, they would have to pay more. A bucket of water just happened to be able to produce a grain of crystalline salt, and the Origin Energy contained in this grain of crystalline salt just happened to be equivalent to a grade two immortal stone. One immortal stone for a bucket of lake water could be said to be equivalent exchange. The residents were not at a disadvantage. However, some labor was needed to convert the lake water into crystalline salt.
But to the City Lord's Mansion, this was a profitable business without any capital. Because the lake water existed naturally, there was no cost at all. Under their management, everyone who came to fetch water had to pay, which was equivalent to exchanging free lake water for immortal stones.
Tsk, tsk, tsk … This was way too rich. Why did it feel even more satisfying than making Phoenix Diamonds for free in the Eight Immortal City of the Qiankun Small World? Tsk, tsk, tsk … this was too rich. Why did it feel more satisfying than making phoenix diamonds for free in Eight Immortals City. But there was so much lake water here. How much would it cost to convert all of it into lake water?
But Du Feng was thinking too much. The lake water here wasn't limitless.
"Okay, that's all for today. The rest of you can go back."
After a while, a city guard counted the number of people and sent everyone away. There was a limit to how much water could be taken from the lake. Taking too much would have a negative impact. So those who lined up in advance could buy a bucket of lake water in a few days. Those who came late could only try their luck the next day.
Du Feng thought about it. It looked like he couldn't go ashore from there. If he did, he would definitely be seen by the guards. But if he didn't go ashore from there, it wouldn't be convenient to go anywhere else. That was because the lake was surrounded by a low wall, and there was only one entrance.
Since none of the residents dared to go to other places to get water, there must be a reason. If he climbed over the low wall, he would probably be discovered.
Du Feng thought about it. He braced himself and swam toward the crowd. He couldn't stay in the water all the time. He had to go ashore sooner or later.
"Hey, the one in the water, hurry up and come up."
When he got close to the shore, he was indeed discovered by the guards. They looked up and down at Du Feng. He didn't bring a bucket and his clothes didn't absorb water. Because some martial artists thought they were smart and jumped into the lake without a bucket. They wanted to take some free lake water with them.
"Come here and be tested."
Things weren't as simple as they seemed. Even if he didn't steal the lake water, he still had to be tested. One of the city guards held a strange tool in his hand. This tool was like a short pole. It swept around Du Feng's body.
"Okay, let's go."
Du Feng had thought that he would be fined, or that his pass would be checked. What he didn't expect was that the person let him go after using the tool to sweep the area once. What was the tool used for? What was it testing? He was really curious.
"Listen up. People swimming in the lake are not allowed to steal water or hurt anything. Once discovered, we will not let it go."
Okay, now Du Feng understood. It turned out that the thing that looked like a shoulder pole was sweeping around his body to see if he had harmed the creatures in the lake. Fortunately, his hands were honest. He didn't kill a few carps while he was at it. Otherwise, he would have been punished. A light punishment would be a fine. A heavy punishment would be jail.
This Salt Lake City was interesting. They actually allowed residents to swim in such precious lake water. But at the same time, they were not allowed to steal water or hurt anything in the lake.
When Du Feng walked out, the people lining up to get water looked at him strangely. Their stares made his hair stand on end. He thought to himself, I don't have any flowers on my face. I'm wearing my clothes. I'm not naked. Why is everyone looking at me strangely?
"Hey, bro. Did you temper your body in the lake?"
