Three days. For an entire three days, Lin Jin cultivated in this small place.

In these three days, he forgot about the existence of time. When he woke up, he stretched his muscles and bones to guide them. When he was thirsty, he would go to the water in front of him to drink. When he was hungry, he would take out something from his bag to satisfy his hunger.

In this state of selflessness, the zhenqi in his body was growing at an astonishing speed. A day ago, his zhenqi had already recovered to its prime. Until now, it was already faintly on the verge of a breakthrough.

When he opened his eyes again, it was still night. He reached for the plastic bags and found that they were empty. He had eaten all the food in the two bags, leaving only dozens of fructose inside. However, it was still alright for him to replenish his energy with fructose. If he was hungry, that would be impossible.

Lin Jin was startled, and knew that the time to leave was about to come.

In the darkness, he did some mental calculations before realizing that three days had passed.

”For three days, no one came to save me. It seems like they think I'm dead.” Lin Jin laughed self-deprecatingly, but did not have any thoughts of complaining. He closed his eyes calmly and waited for the dawn to come.

Faint white fog began to envelop the entire canyon. The sky began to brighten with the sound of flowing water.

But he knew that it was not the time for him to leave yet. It was only when the mist dissipated and the water surface could be seen clearly that he would move.

Because he was afraid that the flashlight would get wet, Lin Jin wrapped it up tightly with a plastic bag. Then, he placed the flashlight and clothes inside his backpack and tied them to his body.

However, even without the Dao talisman and the two bags of food, the backpack was still tightly packed, making it look like it was bulging.

As time passed, the mist on the surface of the water disappeared under the influence of the sun and the wind.

Glancing at this small place that had let him live for three days, Lin Jin jumped into the water without a care in the world. The cold water of the gorge passed over his head in an instant, cooling his firm skin. The water in the gorge during the coming three months might cause others to feel cold, but for Lin Jin, who had already reached his peak, this was only enough for him to feel a little cold.

Gently stepping on the water, Lin Jin followed the water channel that was temporarily spacious, and headed downstream.

Although his swimming ability wasn't too good and he had the burden of carrying him, he still felt at ease. At least a few hundred times more comfortable than swimming in clothes when you're in the water.

Before he could think about it, the waterway started to narrow again. The speed of the water flow rapidly increased to a terrifying level. Compared to the last time when he fell into the water, the speed of the water flow was not much different. The roaring sound of the water made him understand once again the charm of nature.

However, at this moment, these extremely dangerous places were no longer able to harm him.

The high tension of the nervous system allowed him to determine, in subtle units of time, whether he was in danger or not. And every time he encountered danger, Lin Jin would use the zhenqi to give him a palm, allowing the instant outburst of immense reactionary power to carry him out of danger.

But in other slightly more gentle spots, he was completely powerless, allowing the water to carry him along while saving the zhenqi.

This extreme drifting speed gave him a great pleasure. If he wasn't worried about his life, he might have even thought of drifting out again.

However, this thought was quickly drowned out by a huge wave of fear.
