After leisurely finishing a portion of Thunder Milk, Han Qiwu felt a bit lightheaded.
It wasn’t the kind of drunken lightheadedness but rather a brief blankness after the brain was stimulated.
Occasionally experiencing this feeling was quite pleasant.
"Now that I think about it, liquid items mixed with spring water improve in quality, so perhaps other types can also be enhanced by the spring water." Han Qiwu took out another droplet of spring water and walked to a few fish ponds nearby. After contemplating for a mont, he flicked the spring water into the largest fish pond.
The droplet of spring water disappeared as soon as it hit the water.

"That’s it?"
Before Han Qiwu could think further, ripples began to spread from the point where the water had entered.
The ripples swept across the pond, instantly making the water crystal clear—like dropping detergent into grease—the spring water swiftly purified the pond and eliminated all impurities.
At the sa ti, the algae mother plant quietly resting at the bottom of the pond suddenly sprang to action, like a cat sniffing fish. It eagerly directed its leaves toward the spring water and started absorbing it.
With each absorbed second, its leaves grew larger and beca more vibrant in color.
After about ten seconds of absorption, the swordfish fry and the Black Seabream King began reacting and quickly swam over, joyfully basking in the purified water quality.
Han Qiwu waited for a while, but no system prompt arrived.
"It seems that a single droplet of spring water can only improve water quality, but it’s not enough to bring further transformation to the pond. After all, the area is so huge," Han Qiwu analyzed calmly, not in a rush.
There’s no use rushing.
However, just based on the changes to the algae mother plant alone, it’s bound to promote the growth of the fish fry.
Spring water truly is extraordinary.
For the last droplet of spring water, Han Qiwu decided to use it on the Snow Fruit Tree.
The main reason was that the Snow Fruit Tree was already bearing fruit, so results could be seen in a short amount of ti.
If he were to use the droplet on the peach or apricot trees, it would be unclear how many droplets it would take to see an effect.
Walking into the icy, snowy environnt, Han Qiwu selected a spot far from the ice mushrooms, carefully took out the Snow Fruit Tree, and placed it on the ground.
As soon as the crystal-clear Snow Fruit Tree touched the icy environnt, it imdiately started rooting and growing.
Large, transparent branches and leaves began to unfurl.
The snow fruits hanging from its branches even swayed gently, looking incredibly cheerful.
"Such healthy growth." Han Qiwu smiled and dripped the spring water at its roots.
The spring water lted as soon as it touched the snow, rging into it.
A few seconds later, Han Qiwu noticed a streak of unusual transparent liquid flowing through the Snow Fruit Tree.
This transparent liquid traveled from its roots to its trunk before stopping.
"Swish, swish, swish."
Under Han Qiwu’s watchful eye, the Snow Fruit Tree began growing again—its leaves, its branches, and even... its fruits!
A single droplet of spring water had caused the Snow Fruit Tree to bear two new snow fruits.
Han Qiwu was overjoyed. He reached for one of the snow fruits and slowly began eating it.
The freshly picked fruit really was different—extrely fresh, juicy, with a superb taste!
Satisfying.
After taking a brief rest, Han Qiwu stretched lazily and rode his bike to the blacksmith’s shop.
Ti to pick up the axe!
This was his first-ever iron-level tool!
Excited!
Arriving at the blacksmith’s, Han Qiwu thought for a mont, then took out a Snow Monster Essence from his storage. Entering the shop, he placed it on the counter with a smile. "Master Shuzi, you’ve worked hard these past few days. Consider this Snow Monster Essence a gift for you."
"A gift for ? Then I won’t stand on ceremony." Master Shuzi chuckled, reaching beneath the counter to pull out a shimring silver axe and handing it to Han Qiwu.
The axe was about 1.2 ters long, with a sturdy handle at the base. Its body was entirely silver, though upon closer inspection, faint traces of bronze could be seen. The blade glead brilliantly, looking razor-sharp.
"The original materials of this axe were quite decent, so I decided to fuse them together. The ancient bronze is mostly placed in the handle to reduce weight, while the Moonlight Iron Ingot, being scarce with only a single piece, was entirely allocated to the axe blade to enhance sharpness. The rest of the axe’s structure uses Flash Ice Iron Ingots for the core," Master Shuzi explained enthusiastically. "The attributes of this axe will surely satisfy you."
"Thank you, Master." Han Qiwu suppressed his excitent, bowed politely, and then reached for the handle, lifting the axe.
Despite Master Shuzi’s special craftsmanship, the upgraded axe was still quite heavy.
Fortunately, Han Qiwu’s physical attributes had improved significantly, and he could now wield it without effort.
"Let’s check the attributes!" Han Qiwu eagerly glanced downward.
[Tool: Flash Moon Iron Axe]
[Usage Instructions: The Flash Moon Iron Axe can fell trees with minimal effort. Cutting down large trees yields hardwood and saplings, and after three consecutive uses, a special effect will be triggered.]
[Special Effects: When using the Flash Moon Iron Axe to chop trees, there is a high chance of discovering amber within the wood, a high chance of obtaining double hardwood when cutting large trees, a moderate chance of finding Lunar teorite near the roots, and a low chance of discovering Frozen Tree Sap within the trunk.]
[Note: The Flash Moon Iron Axe won’t let you down!]
Just as the note suggested, Han Qiwu was beyond satisfied!
Setting everything else aside, the enhanced special effects alone were enough to make him happy.
One swing offered four possibilities!
Not only did it increase the chances of finding amber and double hardwood, but it also added Lunar teorite and Frozen Tree Sap as extra possible rewards. The Lunar teorite appeared due to the inclusion of Moonlight Iron, and the Frozen Tree Sap was made possible by the Flash Ice Iron Ingots.
"Frozen Tree Sap? Could it be drinkable?" Han Qiwu chuckled to himself. Even if it wasn’t, the Frozen Tree Sap could probably still be thrown into the spring.
If that’s the case, then ice cubes might also be able to go into the spring, huh?
That’s worth testing out later!
"What do you think? Impressive attributes, right?" Master Shuzi comnted proudly.
"I’m impressed, truly impressed," Han Qiwu tilted his head to the left and clasped his hands toward the upper-right in a traditional gesture of respect.
"By the way, Master Shuzi, could you help relt this into a gold ingot?" Han Qiwu asked, handing over a gold basin.
"No problem." Master Shuzi waved dismissively, tossing the gold basin into the nearby furnace. He turned and asked, "Have you gathered any crystal balls recently? It’s been a while since you brought any to crack open."
Han Qiwu grew a little guilty. He did have plenty of crystal balls but had been waiting for a favorable ti to unlock them.
After considering briefly, he quickly replied, "I’ve collected a few. I’ll bring them over next ti for cracking."
"It’s a deal." Master Shuzi smiled and, using tongs, poured the lted gold into a nearby mold.
After it cooled, he handed the gold ingot to Han Qiwu.
"Alright, go back and test out the axe!"
"Hehe." Han Qiwu didn’t waste ti, grabbed the gold ingot, and turned around to leave.
