Chapter 31: Trying to Cultivate
"Come on, Gu kid, follow me and go sailing on the sea. From now on, you will be the exclusive chef of our Southern Cross Fleet!"
Beidou put his arm around Gu Sanqiu's shoulders and said, "In the future, you will follow your sister to the sea to enjoy delicious food and drinks. I can also introduce you to some exotic girls. Are you interested?"
"Tsk, you are familiar with Inazuma, right? When my Southern Cross fleet first sailed there, I saw the little princess of the Shebuxing family. She looked so pretty."
Beidou let go of Gu Sanqiu and scooped another bowl of soup. "I can only say that once you see what he looks like, even a piece of wood will automatically open up."
The little princess of the society?
The first thing that came to Gu Sanqiu's mind was a little turtle crossing the sea on ice...
However, given Princess Bai Lu's appearance and temperament, it is estimated that people who see her for the first time will be amazed.
"Eh? Not interested?"
Beidou was stunned, frowned and thought for a while, then snapped his fingers: "How about Mond? Mond, your big sister also has many connections, it is not a problem to introduce you to a people of the God of Wind."
Gu Sanqiu held his forehead with his hand and said, "I really can't go to Inazuma by myself. It's so far away that I can't even fly there."
"But I can just pack my bags and go to Mondstadt by myself, why do I have to rely on your connections?"
"Oh, that's right. After all, they are land countries with adjacent territories."
Beidou agreed: "You are such a homebody, young people should go out more often, otherwise you will become like this day by day."
"What's wrong with being a homebody? I'm proud of being a homebody."
Gu Sanqiu rolled his eyes and scooped a small half of the food into the big pot prepared on the side.
"Sanqiu, what are you going to do? Do you want to keep these for yourself?"
Hu Tao looked alert, like a StarCraft player about to enter home-changing mode.
"If you have the guts to eat up the rest, I'll respect you."
Gu Sanqiu said lazily, "I called a deliveryman. This pot... I don't know if it's fish soup or mutton soup. I'm going to send it to the orphanage."
"Why else would I get up so early in the morning to light a fire? I have nothing better to do. "
"Fish soup or mutton soup?"
Grandma Ping thought thoughtfully: "It seems that the sheep-like creature with a fish tail is real?"
Although she had this guess, Grandma Ping did not specifically express her guess out loud, after all, it involved Gu Sanqiu's secret.
And she, as an ordinary old lady who was invited to dinner, certainly didn't have much experience in this area.
"But it would be nice to bring some for old friends."
After thinking about this, Grandma Ping asked Gu Sanqiu with a smile for another big pot and began to serve the soup slowly.
Beidou and Kurumi looked at each other, then stood up at the same time and filled their bowls again.

After making eye contact, we all knew that we were all just working hard.
After seeing off a few people, Gu Sanqiu casually swept the tableware aside, took out the spiritual soil he had bought and started digging the ground.
With the help of the elemental power of rock, a large area was quickly plowed out in the courtyard, and cubes of spiritual soil were carefully and evenly spread on the ground.
"This kind of work is really not something that ordinary people can do."
Gu Sanqiu shook his slightly sore arms. When he was spreading the spiritual soil, strands of elemental power penetrated into his body. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been drunk by now.
“But it’s still worth it.”
Gu Sanqiu slapped his waist, and flowers of different colors and a pitch-black rhizome fell accurately into the soil.
Item: Competition Package
Source: Evergarden Company
Note: The aura is low, but it looks good, a classic marketing package used to target women, I don't like this stuff anyway.
Item: Yam Apple Tree
Source: A certain world's Academy of Agricultural Sciences
Note: The rhizome of the apple tree is yam, so the apples produced have a different taste and are more like a health food than a fruit. Apples are especially helpful for middle-aged and elderly people with kidney overdraft.
"The root of the apple tree is a yam, so does that mean it's actually edible?"
Gu Sanqiu looked at the roots he had just planted thoughtfully, and could even imagine that the other party was beginning to tremble.
"Forget it. Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is not an option."
Taking into account that these plants that can absorb elemental power have the characteristic of stealing souls, Gu Sanqiu specially arranged two positions for them, one in the south and the other in the north. Then he sat down quite simply and used elemental power to sense the movements of the plants at this time.
"Well, if we translate it into normal medical terms, the pulse and heartbeat are at least normal. I couldn't even get a close look at the flaming rose last time."
At least at this stage, Gu Sanqiu is quite satisfied. After all, he has no objection to this kind of plant which only needs to absorb elemental power and even the step of watering can be omitted.
Easy to feed.
Of course, another reason is that he doesn't have spiritual water on hand .
If spiritual soil is a reserve recovery resource, then spiritual water is even more precious. At least in his memory, the few sects that have spiritual water eyes are all staffed by a bunch of ultimate-level immortals on duty.
Even if he revealed his identity as an incense burner, it would probably be difficult for him to get some spiritual water.
I have a golden finger, and these things that seem to be able to be planted are replaceable items. If I waste the spiritual water and they are of no use, it would be a loss.
As night fell, syllables of words could be faintly heard from the incense room. The colorful flowers planted in the spiritual soil swayed gently with the sound, and the originally pure petals gradually took on a layer of jade texture.
Squeak——
The door of Gu's house opened.
Gu Sanqiu shook his right hand slightly, and he naturally heard the sound of the door opening, but the words in his mouth still did not stop, still maintaining a normal speed and normal awe.
After finishing reading the scripture, Gu Sanqiu bowed to the cauldron and then slowly retreated.
Outside the incense room, when the man in black robe who was admiring the flowers saw the door open, he did not immediately turn around to look at Gu Sanqiu, and his head remained motionless.
"The guest seems to understand the taboos in my family very well."
After closing the door, the man in black robe immediately turned to look at Gu Sanqiu and asked him in a hoarse voice.
"Were these little flowers cultivated by you, kid?"
"right."
Gu Sanqiu admitted it quite generously. Since it was something he took out from the golden finger, he could be said to have made it himself.
"At night, the silence returns, the incense door opens, gods and ghosts are guests, and mortals retreat."
Gu Sanqiu bowed and said, "What do you need, my guest?"
"Haha, everyone says this generation of incense burners is a little off-kilter, but now it seems that's not the case."
The man in black robe pointed at the flowers and said, "Can you give me one?"
"It seems that this thing can only survive in spiritual soil at present. Even if you take it away, I can't guarantee whether it can be kept alive."
"Spiritual soil?"
The man in black robe stamped his feet lightly: "Oh, I didn't notice it just now. It was my negligence."
"Young man, I passed by Liyue Harbor today and wanted to find a place to rest, but the world is so big now, and there seems to be less space available for us to rest."
"I want to have a meal and take a rest here."
