After studying the Water Repelling Art for several days, Li Xingkong had gained a sufficient understanding of the spell and had even constructed the Spell Seed. However, when he wanted to try it out, he discovered a rather awkward problem.
There are many mountains in Hedong, but not many deep lakes or similar bodies of water.
It's not on the coast, there are no lakes or seas, so where can I try out my Water Repelling Art?
While ordinary rivers and small ponds can be used to test whether this technique has the effect of eliminating the need for breathing, if it's just about testing this function, he could simply find a basin and stick his head into it to test it himself.
What he wanted was to conduct tests under the high pressure of the deep sea, so that he could observe how this Magic Power structure regulated internal and external pressure.
Why don't you find a pond yourself and try?
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Li Xingkong nipped it in the bud. The reputation of the fishing expert was known throughout the internet, and he didn't want to be caught on a hook while he was diving.
Going to any coastal area to try your luck at sea is a good idea, but if you just leave like that, then no one will give you Body Tempering Grass at this stage.
I should contact Old Tang and ask him to make some arrangements for me.
He could relax by having someone else plant the Body Tempering Grass, but the downside was that he still had to keep track of his whereabouts from the other side.
If it's a short trip, it's fine; I can just use a Wind Riding Spell to get back. But for long trips like this, if I don't give them a heads-up, the supply of Body Tempering Grass will be cut off.
Once he Qi Refining the art of Qi cultivation and his speed has increased to the point where he can travel 80,000 li a day while seated, then this problem will no longer exist.
Ultimately, it comes down to my own lack of ability.
After thinking for a while, Li Xingkong still greeted Old Tang.
" Uncle Tang, I'd like to find a deep lake or sea to test a spell. Do you have any recommendations? Or do you have any equipment that can simulate the high-pressure environment of the deep sea?"
After a brief chat, Li Xingkong straight to asking what he wanted.
Old Tang naturally dealt with Li Xingkong's request immediately. Li Xingkong's matter was now his highest priority, and everything else had to give way to him.
"No problem, I'll arrange it for you."
Old Tang agreed immediately.
After the casual conversation ended, Old Tang quickly gathered the relevant personnel, brought out many maps of Divine Land, and began selecting relevant locations.
Soon, a series of coastal cities were quickly marked. These were cities where they had relevant authority or branches, and they were all very close to the sea.
Old Tang brought over the selected addresses and looked them over; they basically all met Li Xingkong's requirements.
But should we just give him any address? Of course not.
From Li Xingkong's perspective, he simply wanted a testing environment and didn't have any other expectations; either option was fine with him.
But in Old Tang's eyes, Li Xingkong's lack of ambition was a good thing for his own cultivation. For Divine Land, helping Li Xingkong would also have a positive impact on the relationship between Divine Land and Li Xingkong.
But that's not enough.
Li Xingkong is too naive. He'll definitely reciprocate the help we're providing, but can we expect more? Or rather, how can we align Li Xingkong with the Divine Land on the same front?
You have to understand, there are so many countries in modern society, and someone like Li Xingkong will become famous worldwide sooner or later. When that happens, how can Divine Land guarantee that Li Xingkong will always stand on their side when faced with the attention and sweet talk from various countries?
This is a problem that Old Tang has to think about; he has no choice but to consider it.
With so many questions in mind, Old Tang finally focused his attention on the Wanli Shitang sea area.
Old Tang had his reasons for choosing this location.
First, the Wanli Shitang sea area has always been coveted by various petty people. Above, Cherry Blossom Country occupies islands and reclaims land from the sea, causing trouble from time to time. Below, Luzon fishermen enter the area every day, causing trouble everywhere. This sea area can be considered the most tense place in Divine Land at present.
Secondly, this place is home to the most inspiring army in Divine Land. The soldiers stationed in this region are steadfast in their beliefs and love their country. Allowing Li Xingkong Li Xingkong have more contact with them will also help him form a better understanding of Divine Land.
They strive for their ideals and goals. Although they choose different industries, they are all very pure people. This makes them more likely to have common topics and be influenced by each other.
It can only be said that every small request is given sufficient consideration before a decision is made; even a simple site selection involves a great deal of thought.
Selecting the sea area is only the first step; a sufficient reason must be devised to convince Li Xingkong to accept this arrangement.
If Li Xingkong were to come by himself, he would definitely want to find the place closest to him. He would certainly be unwilling to cross most of Divine Land to Wanli Shitang.
Therefore, this location can only be chosen by Li Xingkong himself, and cannot be given directly by him.
This requires, under reasonable circumstances, to fabricate some true Lies.
After thinking for a while, Old Tang picked out a few more locations, organized his thoughts, and sent them to Li Xingkong.
" Xingkong, I have three places I'd like to recommend. Take a look."
Less than 20 minutes later, Li Xingkong had already obtained the place recommended by Old Tang.
The first location is in the East China Sea, which is the closest sea area to Hedong where Li Xingkong is located. If Li Xingkong had to choose, he would definitely go here first. This first location is on a small island on the coast of the East China Sea, which is not frequented by many people and is relatively secluded.
In addition to marking the location, a brief introduction to the East China Sea was also given. The average depth of the East China Sea is 20 meters, and it is mostly shallow water.
Now the location of the East China Sea is a bit tricky. I wanted to go to the deep sea area to test the effect of the Water Sealing Art under high pressure. What am I going to do in the shallow water area? There are 20-meter-deep lakes everywhere. Next.
The second location is in the Southeast Sea, which is further south than the East China Sea. The location given in the Southeast Sea is Deep Moon, a well-known first-tier city in the country. There is a large branch of the Earthly Capital in Deep Moon, so Li Xingkong can get full support there.
The depth of the Southeast Sea is around 3,000 meters, which is sufficient. However, because it is a port for Divine Land, there is a huge flow of people, making it very lively even in the deep sea, which makes it very inconvenient to carry out operations quietly.
Li Xingkong frowned. The presence of too many people was indeed a troublesome issue. If someone saw him conducting the test somewhere and posted a video online, it would be difficult to complete the test in peace.
You know, there are tons of internet celebrities who are bored out of their minds these days. If there's a boat every five steps and a camera pointing at them every ten steps along the coast, will they still be able to have fun?
The third location is Wanli Shitang, which Li Xingkong had certainly heard of. After all, this place is in the news every day, so it's hard not to know about it.
The location given by Old Tang is a naval base in Wanli Shitang. The advantage of this location is that it can be used by accompanying warships to conduct tests wherever they want. Moreover, the average depth of the South China Sea is about 5,000 meters, which is sufficient for Li Xingkong's tests.
Correspondingly, the disadvantage of Wanli Shitang is that it is located in a position of international dispute, where various conflicts frequently occur, making it less safe.
Li Xingkong smiled. With his current capabilities, unless he directly confronted an aircraft carrier, there was basically nothing that could threaten his safety. In comparison, this Wanli Shitang became his best option.
Although they are far apart, in modern times, we can travel by plane. These places are all about a few hours' flight away, so they are all pretty much the same.
After looking around for a while, Li Xingkong made his choice and went to Wanli Shitang.
