Chapter 23 Day 7 of Watching a Play in Liyue
After selecting the ointment that Emperor Geowang liked the most, Zhongli asked the traveler to find an old friend in Yujingtai to borrow something.
The thing Zhongli wanted them to borrow was called the Cleansing Dust Bell.
Shui Qingli also wanted to go with Kong. After all, one of his goals in coming to Liyue was to get Grandma Ping's Dust Song Pot, but he was stopped by Zhongli.
"This is an experience that belongs only to him. If you interfere too much with your power, you won't be able to achieve my original goal."
After all, Kong's power is roughly on par with that of an average holder of the Eye of God, but still below that of a demon god. However, the concentration of elemental power in Shui Qingli's body is no less than that of a demon god.
The water is clear...
No, I just want to go see the Dust Song Pot, not worry about the travelers!
He is the protagonist, I don't need to worry, he has the aura of the protagonist. I just want to get close to Grandma Ping.
But he couldn't say these words directly, so he could only watch helplessly as a certain wronged person, the traveler, Kong, once again set out on his errands.
Woo woo woo, my Ping'er...
But he suddenly remembered something.
It is said that all the immortals in Liyue seem to be proficient in the art of cave heaven. The Rock Emperor is the ancestor of all immortals... His eyes shifted to Zhongli, who seemed to be admiring the scenery, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Oh? Liyue's cave-sky technique?"
Zhongli looked at him in surprise. He thought he had just arrived in Liyue not long ago, but he didn't expect that he could still know the magic spells that only immortals knew.
And he was able to discover his true identity at first sight. This young man was more perceptive than he had imagined. This kind of insight has not been seen for a long time.
"This spell is not difficult. It just requires a carrier. There is an immortal in Liyue who is good at making this thing."
It’s just that it’s not very convenient for him to meet the immortals directly now. After all, even the immortals don’t know about this plan.
The immortal you are talking about, is it the Kongchao Crane Immortal or the Grandma Ping who asked my brother Kong to borrow something?
Shui Qingli almost managed to hold back from blurting out the information. After all, he had already leaked enough information. The previous information could be explained by his strong intelligence gathering ability. If he revealed more, even Zhongli would suspect him.
"After all, I am from outside the region and I don't have a fixed place to go in Teyvat. I heard that there are immortals in Liyue who can carry a cave with them, so I am somewhat interested."
He explained.
No flower-growing rabbit can refuse a house that can be carried around, and this house can be used for farming and DIY. It is simply the homestead that every rabbit dreams of.
After all, the sky-high priced house of the Flower Planting Family is simply a nightmare.
"I wonder if you can teach me this spell?"
Zhongli is never stingy in sharing what he knows. He is knowledgeable and is also known as the ancestor of all immortals. It makes sense that the emperor himself does not know the magic spells that the immortals know.
"That's fine. You don't have to learn it specially. If there is a suitable carrier, I can help you perform the spell directly."
Zhongli nodded. To him, the Cave Heaven Technique was just a small spell.
During the Demon War, Liyue was surrounded by enemies, causing the battle line to be too long. The outdoor environment at that time was a hundred times worse than it is now. It was full of demon remnants and magical beasts. There was no place to rest in peace. In order to provide a resting place for the soldiers who accompanied him on the expedition at that time, he developed such a spell.
Nowadays, immortals use this magic to add barriers to their own caves to prevent ordinary people from accidentally entering, so as to create a quiet home for themselves.
"Thank you very much, sir. But what does it carry?"
Shui Qingli of course happily agreed. It would be best if she didn't have to put in any effort.
From what Zhongli said, it seems that it doesn't necessarily have to be in the shape of a pot. He just thought that only the Chen Ge pot had a hole in it, and that must be the shape that Grandma Ping was most used to.
Zhongli's gaze turned to the raindrop-shaped sapphire earrings on his pointed ears.
The dark blue gem sparkled with brilliant light. Such high-quality gems were not uncommon in the past, but what was rare was that the entire gem contained pure water elemental power.
If this object is used as a carrier, it should be able to generate a cave full of water elements, which is very suitable for Shui Qingli's cultivation.
Shui Qingli himself naturally noticed Zhongli's gaze.
He reached out his hand and touched it, and was a little surprised. These jewelries on his body were not real originally, but seemed to have undergone a transformation after crossing to the continent of Teyvat. Not only did they become real gems, but they also helped him to better absorb and control elemental forces. That was why he kept them and never took them off.
Otherwise, he would have changed out of such conspicuous attire that could easily lead to robbery.
But if it can be used, I don’t mind one or two.
He took off the earrings quickly and decisively. The teardrop-like sapphire lay in his white and almost transparent palm, looking even more dazzling. A closer look revealed slight traces of water elements flowing through it. It was a gemstone with extremely rich elemental power.
There are many precious materials on the continent of Teyvat that are born from elemental forces. Ore is the most precious one. However, because they are born from the earth, most of the ores are of rock element type. There are even fewer ores like Night Stone that are sensitive to fire elements.
"This object is a carrier. It can be used to cast a spell to create a cave that is most suitable for your cultivation. However, due to the influence of the water element, the environment of the cave may change. You still need to take the trouble to transform it yourself."
Zhongli took the jewel earrings from his hand and gave him one more reminder. The incarnation of elements actually doesn't care much about the living environment. When he was fighting in the past, Ruota would just find a hilltop to sleep.
Just looking at the way this young man is dressed, he should be a refined and noble person. If he cares about the environment of the cave, he will probably need to spend more time and effort to transform it.
"Sir, I am grateful for your help. How can Qingli be picky? Please feel free to cast the spell."
He is not a picky party A, and the Emperor is not a party B who works for money. Being willing to help is a favor, and not helping is a duty. He does not have the capital to be picky, and it is not like he has nothing to do after eating.
"That's good."
It seems that this spell is indeed a piece of cake for Morax. Even Grandma Ping took a while to make the Dust Song Pot and hand it over to the traveler, but in Zhongli's hands it only took one or two hours to complete it.
And this period of time is just enough time to borrow the Cleansing Bell.
It was already late in the evening, the setting sun was shining on the mountains, and the rosy glow was pouring down on the hills. Although Liyue Harbor was surrounded by mountains on three sides, the afterglow of the sunset could not be stopped from slipping into the streets and shining on the faces of passers-by.
Then people know that the day's work is over and tomorrow will be another sunny day.
However, the undercurrent surging beneath this beautiful daily life is unknown to the public.
