Chapter 114: Why is seawater salty?

At this moment, Leng Rui felt a sudden relief and was able to move again.
"You fool! If not now, then when?" Huang Xianxun's spiritual consciousness suddenly echoed in his mind.
Without any hesitation, Leng Rui immediately steered the boat and rushed towards the destination.
Strangely, Yuxiao did not stop him.
"Big sister! Old Huang owes you a favor!" After Huang Xianxun finished speaking, his body gradually became transparent and slowly disappeared.
Yuxiao didn't say a word, and her figure slowly faded away.
The paper boat didn't fly for long before its color started to fade, turning into a light gray.
Lei Rui stared at the color of the paper boat, feeling worried in her heart.
He found that this paper boat is just like the mobile phone battery on Earth. When it is fully charged, making a few phone calls does not deplete the battery at all. However, when it is down to twenty percent, it shuts down before a phone call is completed.
    The mobile phone battery can be charged, so this paper boat should also be able to replenish energy.
    It seems that the cultivation guide mentioned that it is possible to use the energy in the human body to power these magic tools and spiritual artifacts.

Now that the meridians in oneself are open, it is uncertain whether the paper boat can be charged with energy.
He placed his hand on the boat and attempted to transfer the energy from his body to the paper boat through his palm.
As if receiving instructions, two intertwined black and white little dragons inside his body joyfully surged out and swiftly drilled into the paper boat.
A paper boat is like a black hole that sucks out all the energy inside you in just a few moments.
Leaving Leng Rui startled, he quickly let go of his hands. A sudden emptiness filled his body, causing him to stumble and almost fall.
"Xiao Rui, what's wrong with you?" Fan Xiaowen noticed that something was wrong with Rui Leng and anxiously shouted.
This shout caught everyone's attention.
Rui Leng's face turned pale and he kept waving his hand, saying, "It's nothing! It's nothing! I just need to meditate for a while!"
After speaking, Leng Rui sat cross-legged and began to cultivate and replenish the energy in his body.
Two hours later, the energy in Leng Rui's body was replenished, and the two black and white small dragons were moving around his body incessantly.
Cold Rui was careful this time. He placed one hand on the paper boat and slowly released the energy from his body.
But it didn't last long, and his energy was empty again.
Like this, he repeated the process all night, and finally the color of the paper boat turned dark gray.
Leng Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was a way to replenish energy for the paper boat, solving a problem that had been worrying him.
The paper boat was flying very slowly. Leng Rui had studied physics and knew that for a moving object, the energy increases by a square number for every time the speed doubles. As the speed increases, the energy consumed will be an incredible number.
After sitting quietly for a while, Xiaozhou practiced Small Circulation for a few weeks, and to his surprise, he found that there was more energy in his body than during the day, and the recovery speed was also faster.
"What's going on?" Cold Rui understood with a little thought.
After several absorption and output trainings, the capacity and speed of the body will change.
Barring accidents, both the dantian and meridians will expand, and the capacity will continue to increase, advancing the cultivation to a new level.
"Xiaowen! You guys come over here!" Leng Rui called.
Da Hu and Er Niu are still recuperating, so Leng Rui didn't bother them.
Fan Xiaowen and a few others gathered around. Leng Rui smiled and said, "Come! Let me tell you a practice method that kills two birds with one stone..."
Qichuan Island is located deep in the sea to the south of Shanghua Country, with a vast island area of over 5,000 li, surrounded by vast oceans.
To the north, it is more than a thousand li away from the mainland, and transportation between the two relies entirely on ships.
The shipbuilding industry on the island is highly developed, capable of building large sea vessels over one hundred feet long.
This is thanks to the abundance of a type of mahogany produced on the island, which is long and resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for ship keels.
On Qichuan Island, there is a Taoist temple called Xunlong Temple, which is skilled in making talismans and carving formations on boats.
The talismans are mostly used for teleportation, self-defense, and other purposes.
The formations are very useful, and almost all large seafaring ships have formations carved on them.
These formations have functions such as balance and acceleration, ensuring that even in the face of strong winds and waves at sea, the ship will not tilt.
These talismans or formations typically have a validity period of three years, and must be replaced with new ones after that.
So, this is an important source of income for the Dragon Hunting Pavilion.
Due to abundant sunshine and hot climate, there is a rain shower every afternoon. So, the vegetation on the island is rich and it is also very suitable for the growth of various crops such as vegetables, fruits, and grains. The population on the island is also over one billion.
The entire island is controlled by four major families – Jiang, Lin, Huang, and Meng – who take turns as the ruling authorities, with a rotation every three years.
The talismans and formations of Xunlong Temple are sold exclusively by the four major families' shops in various locations, and are off-limits to others.
After more than ten days of flight, Leng Rui and the others saw a lush land.
Little did they know that it was a big island, thinking they had arrived at another continent.
After more than ten days of flight, several people took turns to replenish the energy of the paper boat. The color of the paper boat did not lighten, always maintaining a dark gray color.
At the same time, several people's abilities have somewhat improved, and they have become proficient in controlling energy, easily and skillfully.
In order to avoid drawing too much attention, Zhangli Chuan Island is still a few dozen miles away, and Lengrui lowered the paper boat and started sailing in the sea.
Da Hu and a few others saw the sea for the first time and were very excited.
A wave splashed and got everyone wet with its splashes.
Fan Xiaowen and Hui Yingqin, two girls, exclaimed exaggeratedly, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"Third Junior Brother, do you think the ocean is wider or is our Wangjing's Panlong River wider?" Big Tiger asked with a smile.
"Definitely the ocean is wider, as the water from Panlong River flows into the ocean," Cold Rui answered with a smile.
Niu Er looked at Rui Liang for a while and said with some doubt: "Third Junior Brother, how do you know so much? Both of us have watched you grow up."
"Hehe! Miss Qing'er started a Tian Di Club, and Boss Xiao bought a lot of books to put in there. I often go to read them, so I know." Rui Liang laughed and said.
When it comes to Qing'er, he couldn't help but think of that chattering little girl. I wonder what they are all doing now.
"Big Brother Xiaoleng, does all the river water flow into the sea?" asked Fan Xiaowen curiously.
"Yes, rivers on the land eventually flow into the ocean," Leng Rui replied affirmatively.
"Then why is river water not salty, and why is this seawater bitter and astringent?" Fan Xiaowen asked, tilting her head.
"Um..." Leng Rui really didn't know how to answer.
Looking around, several people were curiously staring at him, waiting for his answer.
"Well, how should I put it! Actually, there is salt in the river water, but just a small amount that can't be tasted. When this salt flows into the sea, it stays there. Then, under the sun's radiation, the water turns into water vapor, which rises and forms clouds..." Leng Rui could only explain in the simplest language.
"What? You're saying clouds are water vapor?" Da Hu couldn't believe it and asked.
"Yeah? These past few days when we were flying in the sky, didn't we see clouds all over...." Leng Rui said.
"What you said seems to be incorrect. I heard that immortals can ride on clouds. If it was water vapor, wouldn't they fall down?" Da Hu shook his head.
Leng Rui was also confused all of a sudden.
Yeah! I mean, are those physics and chemistry theories on Earth even right? They might make sense with humans running around on Earth, but it seems like a whole different story here!
