I Just Won’t Play By The Book

353 Five Senses
The sky in July was clear even at dusk. The crisp blue was covered with burning clouds. The waves of rice in the small valley surged, and the beautiful fragrance of rice churned, making one’s soul feel as if it was being stirred round after round.

After staying in Dengjin Grand Canyon for half a month, Wu Qingce and his group of four finally arrived at the first day of the month that their senior brother had mentioned.

Standing on the cliff in the middle of the canyon, Gu Qinghuan was using all her strength to circulate the True Essence Heavenly Dipper Technique, feeling the changes in the spiritual energy in the canyon.

However, the sun was almost setting, and he still did not feel anything different from usual.

After a while, a figure slowly landed beside him and said,”We’ve checked all the cliffs, but we didn’t find any caves that appeared after the breakthrough.”

He opened his eyes and looked at Senior Brother Wu, whose breathing was a little disordered. Before Gu Qinghuan could speak, Luo Wenzhou also climbed up.

Wiping the sweat off his face, Luo Wenzhou looked at the setting sun that was about to sink into the mountains in the distance and said,”The exotic beasts in the canyon didn’t show any signs of unease or restlessness. They’re all the same as usual.”

After a while, a wet head poked out from the edge of the cliff. Qu Yangze, who had swum through all the water in the canyon, looked at Gu Qinghuan and said,””Senior Brother Gu, nothing has changed in the water. The temperature and flow rate are the same as usual.”

Feeling the fresh breeze, Wu Qingce said,””Maybe the phenomenon will happen at night?”

“Master said that the phenomenon would happen at the beginning of the month, maybe he didn’t mean the first day?””

Gu Qinghuan slowly stopped using the True Essence Heavenly Dipper Technique and said,””Let’s check again later. I think that even if there’s no abnormal phenomenon today, there should be some signs.”

“Indeed.” Wu Qingce nodded.

Just like the last time when mutated beasts gathered before the discovery of the Lightning Spirit Flower, it was impossible for there to be no signs this time.

“Then I’ll go check again in the water.”Qu Yangze said as he started to climb down.

“There’s no hurry. Let’s wait until the sky is completely dark before we go.”

He took out some rations and distributed them to the others. The four of them chatted for a while while while eating. It was not until the night had completely darkened that the four of them separated again and ran towards the area they were in charge of.

The night passed very quickly. At a quarter to nine, the four of them once again gathered on the cliff.

However, just like during the day, the four of them still did not notice any changes in the canyon.

Gu Qinghuan frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a low voice,””Since Senior Brother said that there would be a strange phenomenon at the beginning of the month, then there shouldn’t be no signs on the first day. If we look again, there must be something in the valley that we haven’t discovered.”

“Alright.” The other three nodded and dispersed.

This time, Gu Huan didn’t just use the True Essence Heavenly Dipper to sense the changes in the spirit qi in the canyon. Instead, he walked down the hill and carefully inspected every part of the canyon.

Form, sound, smell, taste, touch.
Gu Qinghuan pushed his five senses to the limit. He absolutely believed in his senior brother’s words. Since his senior brother brother said that there would be a strange phenomenon in the valley at the beginning of the month, there would definitely be a strange phenomenon.

It was also because of this absolute trust that he had a premonition. Since this phenomenon was so inconspicuous, it was very likely that his group would brush past it if they did not discover it in time.

In the darkness, Gu Qinghuan, who had used all his senses for the first time, suddenly felt that everything around him was slowly changing.

Some sounds that he could not normally hear were constantly transmitted into his ears. At the same time, some tiny spots of light that he had never seen before began to appear around him.

‘This is…What?

This was the first time Gu Qinghuan had encountered such a situation, and she was a little confused. Soon, smells and sensations that she had never smelled before came one after another. The amount of ” information ” was so great that Gu Qinghuan’s brain had no time to process it.

“Hu…”

Gu Qinghuan took a deep breath and tasted the sour taste in her mouth. She began to analyze what was going on.

‘Could it be because of the True Essence Heavenly Dipper Art?’

The reason why he could absorb the surrounding spiritual energy more easily than other cultivators after cultivating the True Essence Heaven Wind Secrets was not only because his body became closer to the spiritual energy, but also because his spiritual sense became more sensitive and could easily capture the spiritual energy drifting between heaven and earth.

Now that his five senses had become so sharp, this feeling was like the first time he felt his divine sense become extremely sharp. However, this feeling appeared above his five senses.

After guessing the reason, Gu Qinghuan was no longer at a loss. Instead, she became more focused and carefully mobilized her five senses.

Buzz!

Gu Qinghuan felt like she had entered a whole new world. Everything around her was the same as before, but it was also so different.

He could hear the trees breathing, the insects whispering, and the breeze whispering…

With his five senses fully activated, the dense grassland seemed to have turned into a forest. The pebbles were like mountains, and the water droplets were like an ocean.

Time passed in different ways. With all five senses activated, a minute could be used as an entire day.

“Cough! Cough! Cough…”

Just as Gu Qinghuan was indulging in this wonderful feeling, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. He coughed violently a few times before he recovered a little.

Wiping away the cold sweat on her forehead, Gu Qinghuan thought that it was because she couldn’t process so much information in a short time.
