Chapter 227: Mr. Zhongli’s Small Request
"Eh? Is that so?"
Hu Tao raised her head and said, "Logically speaking, as a celestial being, shouldn't you report this kind of thing that can strengthen Liyue's strength when you have the chance?"
Gu Sanqiu rolled his eyes: "So your family does have records about my family, that's what you mean, right?"
"Oh, don't worry about such details."
Hu Tao waved her hands and said, "What I said makes sense. Besides, Sister Ningguang is the Seven Stars' Celestial Authority. It will only be good for you to tell others about this."
"Liyue Seven Stars, not Liyue One Star."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "If it really is Liyue One Star, I should have been in Qun Yu Pavilion after making ice cream for you, you know what I mean."
"I see."
Zhongli scooped up a piece of fruit ball and said, "If Miss Ningguang is the only leader, then it's fine for Brother Gu to tell others about the killing spirit."
"But there is more than one manager, Tianquanxing. Regardless of whether they have some bad intentions, the others are definitely not of the same mind as Brother Gu and Tianquanxing."
"Holding what they want as a card in your hand, and waiting for them to come to you when they need it, without doing anything, you can take the initiative invisibly. This is a clever form of political means."
"Brother Zhongli still understands me."
Gu Sanqiu gave a thumbs up. "If Liyue is in a precarious situation right now, or if someone covets this land, I will report this murderous spirit without hesitation, and I will also personally teach them how to speed up their cultivation progress."
"But forget it now. Nowadays, Liyue Harbor needs the authorities to supervise market discipline and emphasize ethical standards. It would be absolutely idiotic to just play the cards in my hand."
"Morality……"
Zhongli asked, "Brother Gu, was it you who carefully arranged the matter of the Great Saint who conquered the demons?"
"That's right."
Gu Sanqiu said: "Brother Xiao has done so much for Liyue. I am also a joss stick bearer, and I have a bit of comradeship with him. It is reasonable for me to do something to help him."
"Moreover, choosing the day of the Sea Lantern Festival will not only allow us to gather a large amount of useful power, but will also allow the people to recall their original memories, or remember some of the constraints they once had."
"That was before the law was perfected. It was a local rule interwoven by human desire and rationality. It can also be understood as self-spiritual restraint and righteousness in the heart."
"I definitely like to do things that kill two birds with one stone. Although I was mentally prepared that it might be very tiring, I didn't expect it to be this tiring."
Gu Sanqiu pulled the corner of his mouth. Although he looked very handsome as he stirred up the aura of the incense refining array and fought against the evil spirit with burning white flames, he looked even more embarrassed when he was exhausted like a dead dog.
"Well, gratitude and return of favors, perhaps this is why the Emperor chose Brother Gu's family to be the incense burners."
…
Although this sounds like he is praising himself, why does Gu Sanqiu feel that the old man is indirectly saying that he is wise and powerful?
It’s an illusion. It must be an illusion.
"Oh, right."
Gu Sanqiu came back to his senses, then stretched out his leg and kicked Hu Tao's chair: "Give me your Huma, it should be time for some maintenance."
"Give."
Hu Tao put the spoon in his mouth and handed the weapon to Gu Sanqiu.
"Sanqiu , you told me that it was coated with some electric shark tooth powder, and it turns out you were right. It's really useful. It goes boom boom boom when you poke it with a gun. It's really fun."
Hu Tao held the spoon and bent her elbow, then swung it at Zhongli, as if she was practicing the skill of stabbing with a spear.
"Just don't blow yourself up."
Gu Sanqiu placed the Homa across his knees. He now began to regret why he had told Hu Tao what materials he had used. This was clearly a way of jumping around in front of the Emperor to strengthen the hint.
Grandpa, this thing is not from Teyvat. Do you want to know where it came from? Come and ask me. Come and ask me.
I just want to die.
"So, what plans does Brother Gu have for the future?"
"Brother Zhongli, are you planning to treat me to a meal? I don't think you have any important plans. No one will be so crazy as to ask me to work overtime during the holidays."
I hope this sentence is not a FLAG.
"Well, it's nothing serious. I just want to ask Brother Gu to help me refine a few pills."
"You want pills?"
"Well, to be precise, it is the real gold and silver elixir, which should be classified as a weapon refining method."
Gu Sanqiu was stunned: "Do you have the recipe?"
"Here is the recipe."
Zhongli handed the scroll to Gu Sanqiu and said, "If this kind of recipe is not recorded in the Gu family's classics, you can take it, brother Gu. It will be regarded as my reward for entrusting you to make the elixir."
"If the Gu family has it, then I will think of other ways to reward you."
"Hello!"
Hu Tao was immediately unhappy: "What do you mean by 'think of other ways to reward'? You are clearly planning to use our Wangsheng Hall's public account, you bastard!"
"The master is wise."
"This isn't a problem that can be solved by just praising him a few times!"
"Then let me take a look first."
Gu Sanqiu unfolded the scroll and said, "Tsk, the names of the materials recorded here are all ancient names. Where did you get these from, Brother Zhongli?"
"In my spare time, I was wandering around the port and happened to meet a peddler who was salvaging some ironware and ancient relics from the sea and selling them on shore."
Zhongli said calmly, "I saw that the box was well sealed and the pattern on it looked noble, so I bought it and opened it. I got the recipe from it."
…
This is the standard operation of the son of luck, having an encounter while shopping?
Gu Sanqiu bowed repeatedly, this is the real big boss, who can't be messed with.
“However, this seems to be the same golden elixir method bestowed by the immortals back then.”
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "I can refine it, but the things I refine should be no different from the things I took out from the Zhenlei Secret Realm."
"I wonder what level Brother Gu can refine to?"
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Hu Tao.
"If you don't consider the cost, I can refine each one to the golden elixir level for you. If it's convenient, I want to know what you plan to do with this thing."
Gu Sanqiu explained: "If it is just to strengthen the weapons made by Lao Zhang, it is actually a waste to use treasures at the Jindan level."
"And this also depends on the compatibility between the weapon and the material. Different materials have different strengthening effects on weapons."
"What's more, high-grade materials will consume more Mora. If what you want to do is complicated and extensive, the cost will be too high."
"The Golden Elixir level? Can you refine the 'Returning Divine Elixir' that the immortals in the legend refine?"
Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched: "You really overestimate me. Besides, you said that it was the Reincarnation Pill made by the immortals. It simulated the situation when chaos was just beginning, clear and turbid were not distinguished, and heaven and earth were one. This is indeed impossible to make."
I can tell you the story of Pangu creating the world, and by the way, I can tell you how Gonggong angrily hit Mount Buzhou and Nuwa repaired the sky.
I don't ask for much else. As a reward, old man, can you give me a magic needle or something?
The problem is that I’m afraid I’ll be blocked before I even say a few words.
