"You study hard with Ms. Lotia, you know? I'll pick you up after a while, but don't run around."
Jiang Bai gave Gudong a pass, and then took out a box of water element crystal nuclei. Most of these were bought by him in the market, and they were expensive.
Jiang Bai used the wind element to lift the box and fly it to Lodia.
"Ms. Lotia, these are pure water element crystal nuclei. Thank you for your willingness to teach them."
He didn't know what the pure water elves would like. These water element crystal nuclei were bought to be fed to Gudong.
"I have no use for these, but I accept your kindness."
Lotia returned the things.
"Then please Ms. Lotia, please keep it for me and feed it one every few days."
Jiang Bai pushed the thing back again, but this time Lodia did not refuse.
Jiang Bai said to Gudong: "Okay, you can learn from Ms. Lotia, and we will go back first."
Gudong rubbed his face, happily flew next to Lotia and circled around her.
The two waved to it and left.
I hope little Gudong can master the secret of water next time he comes!
Returning to Liyue Port with Hu Tao, Jiang Bai was about to buy some more pure water element crystal cores to save when he saw Zhong Li listening to a book in the teahouse where he usually stayed.
He couldn't help but walked in.
In the teahouse, Wu Tiezui stood on the stage, and when he reached an exciting point in his speech, his voice was passionate and surging.
Jiang Bai originally wanted to talk to Zhong Li, but he couldn't help being attracted by this storyteller.
"Prince Yan was walking alone in the mountains, and he heard an unheard distant sound in a crack in the ground. Sometimes the sound was as sad as a song, and sometimes it was as terrifying as thunder.
"The Rock Prince went around and around and finally found a strange stone in the rock formation.
"Prince Yan took pity on the spirituality of this stone, so he personally carved it into an ingenious and lifelike giant dragon.
"Use your finger as a pen again and mark the dragon's eyes!
"It was too late, but soon, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and a real dragon appeared out of the sky..."
Jiang Bai was fascinated by what he heard and was very curious if such a thing really happened.
He looked at Zhongli and saw that Zhongli was listening seriously, so he did not disturb him.
When this story ended, Jiang Bai finally couldn't hold back his curiosity.
After leaving the teahouse, Jiang Bai pestered Zhongli and asked, "Master, master, is the story just now true?"
"Yes and no." Zhongli shook his head.
"So what?" When he said this, Jiang Bai became even more curious.
"This story has too much processing by later generations. The Dragon King was not carved by the Rock King..."
"Doesn't that mean that the creation of the dragon's eyes is true? The emperor gave the dragon king's eyes?"
There are many people on the road and Jiang Bai is very careful not to let Zhongli reveal his identity.
Zhongli raised his eyes and looked at the rolling mountains, with a hint of loneliness and sadness in his expression that was hard to distinguish.
"That's right..."
Jiang Bai tilted his head, and his intuition told him that there was a story in it.
"Then Master, is this Dragon King the Rock Elemental Dragon?"
Zhongli looked at him in surprise, "Where did you hear this title?"
"I just went to see Lotia, the pure water elf. He said that the strongest form of elemental life is the elemental dragon. Since Mondstadt has a Tevarin, I think Liyue should also have a rock elemental dragon..."
"It's true."
Zhongli nodded, sighed, and told the story with his friends.
"He is an ancient elemental creature living underground in Liyue, and has not seen the light of day for thousands of years.
"In response to his wish, Emperor Rock King brought him to the ground, gave him the eyes to see the world clearly, and made a three-part agreement with him.
"The emperor promised him to coexist with the people on the ground, but if one day he destroys the order, he will be sealed into darkness again..."
"So he is sealed now?"
He has been in Liyue for so long and has never heard any news about this Dragon King. It must have been sealed.
Zhongli nodded slightly.
"Where is it sealed? Can you go and have a look?"
"no."
Seeing Zhongli's flat refusal, Jiang Bai hugged his leg without saying a word, crying like a ghost:
"Master, I want to see it, I want to see it! Take me to see it! Just have a look, just have a look!"
This is a rock elemental dragon! The most powerful rock elemental creature! I really want to see what it looks like and how powerful it is! !
Zhongli: "..."
Even with his thousands of years of cultivation, it was really unbearable for him to suddenly be hugged by someone's thigh and howl in front of a large public.
Feeling the gazes from around him, he felt an emotion called "shame" for the first time in his life.
I don’t want this disciple anymore…
"Um?"
At a nearby stall, a young man who was selecting stones looked over.
He was stunned for a moment, a little dazed, and after paying the money, he subconsciously walked over with the stone.
Looking at Jiang Bai sitting on the ground holding his thigh, he hesitated and said:
"Hello... are you... encountering any difficulties?"
Jiang Bai stood up in a second and patted the dust on his body as if nothing happened, "Nothing."
Zhongli sometimes had to admire his disciple's mentality and face.
Such ease of retracting and retracting is truly something I have never seen in a thousand years.
The young man scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's fine. I thought you encountered some difficulties."
Zhongli looked at him and said nothing.
Seeing that Zhongli kept looking at him, the young man subconsciously touched his face.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"I just think Mr. is very kind."
"Haha, right...my name is Kunjun, you can just call me Kunjun."
"I, Zhongli, this is my disciple Jiang Bai."
Zhongli briefly introduced himself.
"So you are Mr. Zhongli. I have always heard that Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Rebirth is extremely knowledgeable and talented. Today I finally met him!" Kun Jun was happy for no reason.
"That's ridiculous. Brother Kun has extraordinary knowledge. The stone in his hand may seem ordinary, but it is a rare treasure."
"Oh? Mr. Zhongli, do you also know about ore?"
"Know a thing or two."
"Are you some kind of ore appraiser?" Jiang Bai stuck his head out and intervened in their conversation.
"No... Actually, I forgot what I came to Liyue Port for. There seems to be something very important, but I can't remember it."
"That's it..." Jiang Bai didn't think much about it. After all, it's normal to not be able to remember something.
“Although I can’t remember a lot of things, I can still pick up the minerals at my fingertips.
"For example, the ore in my hand comes from around the volcano. Although it looks ugly, there is crystal hidden under this layer of stone shell. The crystal wrapped a ball of water at the moment it was formed. The water is hidden at the bottom, just like in the mountain. The full moon, reflecting the sky, is quite rare.”
"Really? Can you see the inside just by looking at the outer shell?" Jiang Bai didn't believe it.
