The black and gold monkey's movements delighted Lin Yu, who thought he was really going to find a hidden exit this way.
However, after following the black and gold monkey to the very top of the jujube tree, Lin Yu was dumbfounded.
There was indeed a crevice on the rock at the very top of the jujube tree, but it was so small that it could only accommodate the black and gold monkey from before.
Moreover, there were a few short, thick black-gold hairs left in the crevice of the cave, indicating that the black-gold monkey had not had an easy time when it rushed into the crevice.
There was no way Lin Yu could squeeze into such a tiny gap.
Upon discovering this, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
He could only pretend he hadn't seen the black and gold monkey. He had originally thought the appearance of the black and gold monkey would bring him some kind of album, but now it seemed nothing had changed at all.
A monkey is just a monkey after all. Even if it looks different from other monkeys, as a demon beast, its appearance doesn't seem to be anything special.
Left with no other choice, Lin Yu went to the back of the jujube tree and picked a few jujubes.
After swallowing the date on the back, Lin Yu immediately felt his meridians become much smoother, and the spiritual energy that had been running rampant in his body suddenly calmed down as if it had received some kind of powerful pressure.
The power of the source technique within Lin Yu's body gradually returned to calm. It seems that while the jujubes facing the stream are indeed sweet and delicious, one should not overindulge.
In comparison, jujubes that grow with their backs to the stream may not taste as good, but they are not necessarily inedible.
To achieve the best results, it is best to eat the two types of dates alternately.
"I never imagined that after reaching my level, I would be nearly thrown off balance by a small jujube tree." Lin Yu chuckled.
He sat cross-legged again, just as he had before, to regulate his breathing.
Unlike last time, Lin Yu sat directly under the jujube tree this time, intending to wait until his breathing had completely stabilized before leaving.
Thinking about it carefully, apart from the jujube tree and the equipment stones on the mountain wall, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this cave. It's a waste that Lin Yu went through a long series of trials to get here.
"Oh, and this strange stream. Look closely, there are various sizes of cracks between these rocks, but these cracks must have been caused by the movements of that black and gold monkey."
Lin Yu's gaze fell upon the rocks.
Lin Yu Lin Yu actually noticed the cracks between the rocks long ago, but he assumed that all the sights in the cave were natural formations and did not expect the existence of this monkey.
The appearance of this black and gold monkey explains the reason for so many cracks.
Lin Yu had witnessed it firsthand; the black and gold monkey was incredibly swift. The moment it saw Lin Yu, it almost without hesitation darted into the crevice and ran away at an extremely fast speed. Thinking about it carefully, it should be a creature with some intelligence.
"The dates here naturally have the effect of enhancing spiritual power. It would be strange if people consumed these dates for a long time and didn't experience any changes." Thinking of this, Lin Yu smiled again.
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
Just as Lin Yu was about to leave, Lin Yu storage space began to vibrate again.
The small storage space suddenly emitted a red glow, representing high temperature. Although this storage space is only the size of a ring, the space it contains is definitely not small.
The fact that the storage space was slightly red and warm was enough to show that the items inside had reached a considerable temperature.
Lin Yu gently stroked the ring, feeling as if his palm was burning.
Lin Yu could sense that the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone within his storage space had reacted. But why was this fragment suddenly trembling and heating up? Had it sensed something?
Lin Yu immediately took the Sky-Mending Fragment out of his storage space. This Sky-Mending Fragment was the first one Lin Yu obtained in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, not the one transformed from the Water Drop Man.
The consciousness within the unmending fragment of the Water Drop Man from the Holy City has not been completely eradicated. Even if that fragment truly exists here, Lin Yu finds it difficult to sense why.
This is why Lin Yu was so determined to erase the spiritual consciousness of the Heaven-Mending Fragments, because once they possessed spiritual consciousness, it would cause the attributes of the Heaven-Mending Fragments themselves to change.
Having spiritual consciousness might be a great advantage for ordinary magical artifacts, but it's not the case for the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Sword, especially since their spiritual consciousness is influenced by the environment and doesn't match the power of the fragments themselves.
The fragments used to mend the sky that generated the Water Droplet Man would obviously have a reduced sensitivity to other fragments of the same kind due to the existence of the Water Droplet Man's consciousness.
Thinking back to the beginning, it was only after Lin Yu himself took out the Heaven-Mending Fragment that the Water Droplet discovered its existence.
If Lin Yu hadn't retrieved it himself, and the Water Droplet Man hadn't been able to find the Sky-Mending Fragment on his own, who knows how long it would have taken.
The water droplet-like being desperately wanted to expand its energy, which required it to devour other fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment. Unfortunately, due to its intelligence, it was unable to sense the energy of the Heaven-Mending Fragment itself, which is why it relentlessly pursued Lin Yu.
Lin Yu obtained this information after defeating the Water Drop Man; otherwise, she wouldn't have known why the Water Drop Man kept staring at the piece of Heaven-Mending Fragment in her hand.
After taking out the Heaven-Mending Fragment from his hand, Lin Yu looked at it from left to right, but couldn't find any aura in the cave that matched the power of the Heaven-Mending Fragment.
Although Lin Yu's aura is not very stable due to the jujube, he is still able to control his spiritual power and can naturally sense the other piece of the Heaven-Mending Fragment.
Moreover, the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone in Lin Yu's hand has been with him for a long time, and under the nurturing of Lin Yu's spiritual power, it has already developed a certain connection with Lin Yu.
If this cave truly harbors another fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone, then Lin Yu couldn't possibly have been completely unaware of it.
The problem now is that, apart from these things, there is no other spiritual energy in this cave.
However, this simply cannot explain why the fragments of the sky-mending artifact would change.
All of this left Lin Yu completely bewildered. Holding the faintly glowing fragment of the Sky-Mending Piece in his hand, he was at a loss for what to do.
