Chapter 24: A Small Gathering in the Mountains
"Tsk, so how did they manage to smash out a treasure chest on a barren planet? Or did the old man secretly cheat during the resonance?"
Gu Sanqiu had a headache. He had just searched three areas, but without exception, they had all been taken away by some guys and there was nothing left.
Keeping the elemental force flowing in a refined manner so as to accomplish delicate tasks such as opening a safe is a huge drain on the user's mental energy.
People back then must have had things like tokens, so there was no need to go through so much trouble. However, the Gu family didn't have anything of that level saved, so Gu Sanqiu could only try them one by one.
"Ahhh spiritual soil, spiritual soil, where on earth is the spiritual soil I'm looking for?"
He picked a sunset fruit from the tree to replenish his water. He had already put the map in his hand back.
When it comes to the map of the entire Liyue, apart from relevant departments like the Seven Stars, if the Gu family says they are second in terms of detail, probably no one would dare to say they are first.
As long as he receives feedback from the Adventurer's Association on each area, Gu Sanqiu can immediately determine the most suitable and time-saving route.
There was only one thing he was looking for this time, and that was spiritual soil.
Just as the general definition goes, in Teyvat, spiritual soil is soil rich in elemental power. As long as you learn some simple spells, it can provide recovery for warriors using the Eye of God.
Simply put, this thing can perform the functions of the red and blue bottles. It is simply the conscience of the industry. In the market environment, it is the kind of thing that will definitely be driven out by bad money.
In the strategic reserves of each location, in addition to the talisman paper obtained by Gu Sanqiu, this kind of recovery product is also among the reserve items.
Of course, there is another possible speculation, which is that at the end of a certain war, all the recovery supplies were almost used up, and the combat equipment was more than the soldiers.
"Tsk, it's stupid to search aimlessly like this, but it's the only way for now."
The Gu family knew quite a few immortals, but these immortals were either busy with their own affairs or had died long ago. It would be inappropriate for him, a person offering incense, to disturb them or dig their graves.
Time passed slowly, and Gu Sanqiu had already buried more than twenty sunset fruit seeds on the roadside, but the spiritual soil he wanted was still not found.
"If that doesn't work, how about I go dig some near the Fulong tree?"
Gu Sanqiu has already started thinking about this rather dangerous idea. There are a bunch of rock ridges over there on the Fulong tree, and there is also the Fat Dragon King there. If you round it off, it can be said to be a large earthworm (? ).
However, if he goes there to get the soil, he will probably be met with justice from the sky like a meteorite. Gu Sanqiu is currently considering whether his small body can withstand a blow from Boss Zhong.
"Hey! How dare you wreak havoc on the land of Liyue, you evil heretic? Die!"
A strong gust of wind blew past Gu Sanqiu, and the sound of leaves and branches being blown off and hitting tree trunks was endless.
"Well, it seems like a real big brother has arrived."
Gu Sanqiu held out the half-eaten sunset fruit, and as expected, the strong wind pressure directly cut off most of the flesh.
Not far away, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe with his hands making hand seals was chasing a man in front of him who was nearly two meters tall and holding a heavy hammer.
The man in dark blue clothes with purple edges had a thin layer of purple protective shield, and it was this shield that helped him block the continuous Taoist bombardment from the man in Taoist robes.
"Oh, the Fatui, I finally met them. But these should be the guys active in Minlin."
Gu Sanqiu watched the two men running away and chasing each other, but he had no intention of intervening. Although the middle-aged Taoist priest looked very fierce, Gu Sanqiu, who was also a descendant of Xuanmen, could naturally see the other party's current state.
He was obviously chasing the other party with all his might. He probably shouted slogans just now to boost his morale. When the time is right, he will naturally stop and retreat.
However, if that Thunder Hammer Vanguard was trying to lure the enemy deeper into our territory, this guy would probably be in danger.
"These two guys came from over there, right?"
Gu Sanqiu looked in the opposite direction of the two people thoughtfully: "In other words, there is a high possibility of a settlement there?"
In addition to the many immortal leaders who bought houses in Minlin, many Taoist sects have also established their footholds nearby.
Of course, if someone wants to seek immortals and learn the way, they probably need to have the ability to pick out good products among discounted items, as well as pretty good luck, to be able to find those who are truly capable.
"Go and have a look."
After "visiting", or in other words, searching several areas, Gu Sanqiu had a lot of good things on him. It should be no problem for him to barter with others without revealing his identity as a burner.
After a while, Gu Sanqiu followed the trail of the two guys and finally found a small market that looked like it was built temporarily.
Guys wearing Taoist robes, armor, and even bare-chested sat on the ground, with more or less a fan and a teapot beside them. Their leisurely and contented appearance made Gu Sanqiu think this was a village square after sunset.
"If each of you didn't have something in front of you, I would have believed that you guys were just here to have fun and kill time."
"Hey, is there a new person here?"
A young man lying on the ground waved at Gu Sanqiu with a smile: "It's a rare new face to see. Do you want to take care of my business?"
"Do you have spiritual soil? I'll buy it at a high price. I'll buy as much as you have."
"Oh? Looks like he's a big client."
The young man immediately perked up: "Spiritual soil is a scarce commodity, I don't have it."
"Then why are you telling me so much?"
Gu Sanqiu turned and left.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go, fellow Taoist. Although I don't have spiritual soil, I know where I can find it. How about a deal?"
The young man smiled ingratiatingly: "Fellow Daoist, if you just buy everything on my stall, I'll tell you where to buy spiritual soil, how about that?"
The young man patted his chest and said, "I'll take you there. If you can't buy it, I'll refund you in person. I still have some credibility."
Gu Sanqiu looked around and found that everyone around him was just watching the fun and no one came to "solicit customers". Then he nodded slowly.
These guys are all quite genuine, it doesn't seem like a gathering place for a fraud gang. After hearing what I said, they still have a "go with the flow" mentality. It seems like there is still hope this time.
"I know the rules too. Let me show you the deposit first."
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand lightly, and two pieces of glittering talisman paper were placed in the young man's hand.
"That's enough to buy you these things."
"Hey hey hey, fellow Daodaodao is wrong, boss, there are too many, it's not worth that much!"
The young man said he was scared, and even the people next to him who saw the appearance of the talisman papers had their eyes lit up. It was obvious that these two talismans were very tempting.
"This, this, this, this one alone can buy me out several times."
The young man scratched his head. This good thing that he hadn't seen for a long time made him feel a little upset.
"How about this, you take me to the place where I bought the spiritual soil, and then I'll settle the bill with you when I have some change, how about that?"
Gu Sanqiu spread his hands: "After all, I don't have any change."
(￣□￣；)
Everyone who heard this fell silent. Is this the way rich people speak?
Damn, I really want to be able to talk like this one day!
