The water butterfly swooped straight towards Lin Yu's direction.

Surprisingly, despite the overwhelming force of the attack, Lin Yu didn't sense the slightest movement.

The moment they emerged from the water, the water butterflies shed their jellyfish-like form, sprouted a pair of wings, and landed directly on Lin Yu's wound.

Lin Yu 'Lin Yu wound was originally just a small one, but with so many water butterflies swarming in, it was completely healed in no time.

The water butterflies landed on Lin Yu's fingers in a frenzy. Lin Yu hadn't held back, and his wounds were far from shallow. As a result, after healing Lin Yu's wounds, the water butterflies themselves more than doubled in size.

"Sure enough, these water butterflies convert the wounds of other creatures into their own energy!" Lin Yu observed the changes in the water butterflies and confirmed his guess once again.

Even Lin Yu, with his vast experience and knowledge, was full of admiration for such abilities.

Lin Yu's body had fully recovered, but a large number of water butterflies still broke through the water and landed on Lin Yu's arm.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yu's entire arm was completely enveloped by the water butterflies.

"Buzz..."

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the sweet fragrance of peach blossoms. Petals twirled and fell, landing beside Lin Yu.

Lin Yu could sense that the breeze carried no malice or aggression, so he simply let it caress his face.

However, the water butterflies, perhaps due to the gust of wind, actually left Lin Yu's body and drifted back into the well water.

"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."

Large numbers of water butterflies returned to the well water one after another, stirring up splashes and repeating the scene of butterflies transforming into jellyfish.

This scene was breathtakingly beautiful, bringing an indescribable sense of peace to the heart.

However, Lin Yu noticed a slight breeze.

If he remembered correctly, these water butterflies first appeared because of a gentle breeze, and they disappeared because of the same gentle breeze.

Now, another gentle breeze blows. How could such a coincidence exist in this world?

Are there really anything special about these breezes?

Since the Shanghe River in his hand had already healed, Lin Yu left the well and began to stroll through the peach grove.

Walking among them, Lin Yu quickly noticed the special features of these peach trees: the lowest part of their trunks was milky white, and this milky white color became more pronounced the closer they were to the ground.

Upon closer inspection, the very base of the peach tree had already revealed a faint translucent color.

This scene should have been extremely eye-catching, but because the roots of the peach tree were intertwined with the soil, only a small part was exposed. If one did not observe carefully, one would probably not notice it at all.

And that transparent color is similar to that of well water. Lin Yu thought that the color of the very end of the tree trunk should be the same as that of the well water.

After a quick look around, Lin Yu suddenly stopped in front of a peach tree.

"Hmm?" A question came from Lin Yu's throat. Then he leaped up and landed on a branch of the peach tree. He parted the lush leaves and a green fruit appeared in front of Lin Yu.

The fruit looked like a peach, but it was green and astringent, with a translucent milky white center.

This milky white color looks exactly the same as the color of well water and the roots of tree trunks.

"What's the principle behind this? Why does the center of this fruit also have this strange appearance?" Lin Yu was completely baffled.

Based on what he knew before, Lin Yu thought that the roots of the peach tree were the most nutritious, and since the soil was connected to the well water, it was affected by the well water.

But why do the peaches on this tree also appear like well water?

Lin Yu found it increasingly strange, so he used his spiritual power to probe the unripe peach, but found nothing.

He felt a sensation very similar to that of well water, yet not quite the same; the energy on the small peach seemed more concentrated.

Lin Yu tentatively ate a small, unripe peach. The peach looked green and astringent on the outside, but the taste was not strange at all; it was just as sweet as a regular peach.

But such a taste is truly strange coming from a green, unripe peach.

Fortunately, Lin Yu didn't experience any unusual symptoms after eating the unripe peach.

Judging from the unripe peach's appearance, Lin Yu guessed that it had a similar effect to well water and the strange water butterfly, but perhaps because Lin Yu had no wounds, this effect was not obvious.

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, thinking that since the well water had the function of repairing a cultivator's body, these unripe peaches should also have a similar ability, so he reached out and picked a few peaches.

Unfortunately, there are very few unripe peaches in this peach orchard.

Even with Lin Yu's powerful mental strength, if he forcibly explored the entire peach grove, he could only find a handful of peaches.

Lin Yu picked three of the unripe peaches, but left one unpicked.

Lin Yu stored the unripe peaches in his storage space, intending to take them back for Feng Nianzhi to try. If they worked for Feng Nianzhi, then most of the seal problem on her body could be resolved.

Lin Yu circled the peach grove again, but found nothing else.

Compared to the strange forest outside, this peach orchard was simple and unadorned, without many rare and precious materials. The few unripe peaches that were there were quickly picked by Lin Yu, leaving only one.

Without further hesitation, Lin Yu leaped into the air and flew back towards the entrance he had come from.

As soon as Lin Yu escaped the vortex, he was met with Feng Changge's mournful face.

Feng Changge remained inside the protective shield left by Lin Yu, looking listless. He had forgotten how long he had been waiting and only assumed that something had happened to Lin Yu.

Unfortunately, he was trapped inside the protective shield, unable to move forward or backward, truly caught in a dilemma, and could only stay inside anxiously.

As Lin Yu spent more and more time inside, Feng Changge felt that the possibility of him coming out again was becoming increasingly slim.

Feng Changge didn't think Lin Yu would encounter any accidents. He assumed that Lin Yu had discovered the wonders of the formation inside the vortex and might have used spatial teleportation again.

Just when Feng Changge thought her future was uncertain, she saw Lin Yu and was immediately thrilled.
