Inside the underwater cave.

"In just a few dozen breaths, I gained over a hundred experience points!"
"This really is good stuff!"
Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.
The effect of a single rice-grain-sized droplet was enough to show him how valuable this substance was.
Moreover, besides increasing his water proficiency experience, it had also caused some changes in his body that he could feel.
The changes were simply too slight for him to determine exactly what they were.
Then.
After waiting a little longer and confirming that his body still showed no harmful abnormalities, Jiang Ning finally put his mind completely at ease.
Beneficial and harmless-now that truly was good stuff.
With his worries completely dispelled, Jiang Ning lowered his hand into the pool.
As his hand entered the pool shimmering with silvery-white light, he immediately felt an even deeper chill, several degrees stronger than plunging it into a mixture of ice and water.
But at his current level, this chill barely affected him.
The next moment.
He scooped a small handful of bone-chilling water from the pool.
This peculiar water was clearly different from ordinary lake water, and heavier too.
Then.
He brought it to his mouth and sucked it in along with the lake water.
Gulp-
As the peculiar water entered his stomach, he immediately felt a wave of cold erupt inside him.
His body felt as though it had been plunged into an ice cellar, its temperature dropping rapidly.
At the same time, notifications flashed rapidly before his eyes.
[Water proficiency experience +1] [Water proficiency experience +1] [Water proficiency experience +1] [...]
These notifications appeared even faster than before.
A moment later.
