Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2308

Wilbur's mind raced, and it was not long before he lit up gleefully. "I got it, I finally got it!"

Arkadi frowned at him. "What did you get, Mister Penn?"

Wilbur said, "Oh, I just thought of something really meaningful all of a sudden. I think that the Dashan man told your tribe not to change the state of this area because of the underground water. After all, soil in barren lands tends to be loose. Water can still flow through loose soil if it is not too far underground, and building tall buildings might add pressure to the soil and cause the water level to sink further down. If that happens and the water level sinks more than ten meters underground, Diseya would face a drought all over again."

"Yes," Arkadi nodded. "I guessed as much, but if the water weren't too deep underground in the soil, tall buildings would not affect it severely enough for it to sink down that much. The only possibility is that there's a special pressure system in the soil of Bangsai, and those three wells happen to be placed specifically to form that pressure system. Thus, it's the pressure system that lifts the water over ten meters deep underground up to the higher layers of soil for us to discover."

…

Wilbur and Arkadi chatted for a while after that. Wilbur actually knew that there was no pressure system of sorts underneath the ground of Diseya, but a formation that Senior Fremont had laid down to raise the water level.

Of course, this was related to cultivation and thus Wilbur could not tell Arkadi that moving things around in Bangsai would destroy the formation.

However, this also put Wilbur in a tough spot. He was now almost certain that the fourth dragon cauldron fragment was in Bangsai, and that Senior Fremont had probably used a special formation to hide it in a specific place.
