"There is definitely a chance. And we have a great advantage in going to the desert, that is, we have a ready source of water!"
Jiang Bai raised Gudong to his head, and Gudong spit out a big bubble in cooperation.
Hu Tao's thoughts were unknowingly distorted, "So, we can make a fortune by selling pure water in the desert, right?"
In the desert, water = lifesaver = money.
That is to say, Gudong = money.
"Good idea!" Jiang Bai's eyes flashed brightly.
The hall master is really a business genius!
Maybe this trip to the desert would make more than what he earned from his hard work in business.
"But there is a question: How much water can Gudong condense in a dry environment like the desert?"
Usually, the water condensed by Gudong can be said to be as much as he wants. Jiang Bai almost uses it as a faucet.
After all, the surrounding elements are very balanced, and the water element is also very abundant.
But in places like deserts, water elements are very scarce, which will also directly affect water element creatures.
If the water that Gudong condensed in the desert was only enough for the two of them, then their plan to make money by selling water would have to die.
"Gudong——"
Gudong tilted his head.
Ask it this question but it doesn't know.
It has never been to the desert.
"It's too far to think now... Let's wait until we get to the desert. What if there are many oases in the desert and there is no shortage of water at all?"
"That's right..." Jiang Bai swatted away the moras flying towards him and landed back on the ground.
Instead of thinking about making money by selling water, why not think about finding the treasure of the Red King's ruins in the desert? Isn't this faster than selling water?
Speaking of ruins, they saw almost no ancient ruins along the way from Huachengguo to Weimo Village. Even if they occasionally saw some dilapidated buildings, they were relatively recent.
Not a single one of those ancient, long-lasting ruins was seen.
Is it because the area of Xumi is special?
According to the information currently known, before the Demon God War, the entire Meru was a desert. The reason why the rainforest turned into a rainforest was because the Great Merciful Tree King continued to plant trees and used his power to transform this area. Land, hence the rainforest.
With this connection, they suddenly became normal as they did not see the relics of previous civilizations carved with the Celtic Triangle in Sumeru.
"Then we'll leave in the afternoon, follow Alfonso from a distance first to see where Alfonso will go, and then head towards the desert!"
That afternoon, the two said goodbye to Lana and continued their journey.
Alfonso was injured and was traveling very slowly. Since his destination was the former Huana Lanna, he also took major roads, which was very convenient for Jiang Bai to track.
Jiang Bai is not afraid of losing him. With the Four Directions Scripture Instrument, he can always find him if he keeps walking in the direction pointed by the pointer.
The two of them arrived at the Zen Garden, which was not far from Vimalakirti Village, before dark.
The Zen Garden is a research base unique to the Sheng Lun Sect and covers a large area.
A variety of plants are planted here, and many scholars from the School of Biophysics walk among them.
There are some houses and shops gathered around the Zen Garden.
It is said that wherever there are people, there are business opportunities. These people gather around the Zen Garden to provide catering, entertainment, and even accommodation for the scholars inside. Although the business is not as prosperous as that of Xumi City, at least there is less competition pressure here.
"Oh, no need to sleep outdoors tonight."
Hu Tao was very happy to see a gathering place.
Even though Jiang Bai was there, there were doors and windows to protect him from the wind and rain while sleeping outdoors.
But there is no comfortable and warm bed.
It's okay to rest in the wild occasionally, but if you rest in the wild all the time, you will become a savage.
Jiang Bai looked at the Zen Garden built on the mountain. In the gradually dimming night, he saw many students coming out in twos and threes to look for food.
Although there is a canteen in the Zen Garden, the food is the same every day, how can it be as delicious as outside?
“I don’t know if I can visit the Zen Garden.”
"I think it's similar to the School of Biophysics in the Imperial Academy."
Hutao was not very interested in visiting the Zen Garden, and she could not understand the research on various plants inside.
After eating a steaming dinner, Jiang Bai leaned against the window of the hotel room and looked at the people on the street below.
I was just looking around casually, but I was surprised to see Alfonso.
Although they set off so much earlier than them, they still met here.
Zhang Jiang Bai couldn't help but wonder if there was a gathering point for fools here.
Jiang Bai looked at Alfonso carefully. His condition seemed to be better than when he was injured yesterday. There was a scholar wearing a Sheng Lun Sect uniform beside him who was giving some instructions.
"Are you healing here..."
Xumi's medical treatment is free, and most of the scholars of the Sheng Lun sect are doctors, so it is normal to recuperate first.
I originally planned to follow from a distance, but the opponent's speed was too slow and I was immediately caught up...
Jiang Bai's mood was complicated.
"Jiang Bai, do you see over there?" Hu Tao's excited voice came over.
He stood in front of the west-facing window and pointed excitedly at the distant mountains to the southwest.
"The trees in that area are so big! The whole area is filled with such big trees!"
Jiang Bai looked at the map in the direction pointed by Hu Tao, "If I guessed correctly, that should be the [Water and Sky Jungle]."
"Let's go take a look tomorrow."
Walnut is very interested there.
When she was little, she had a small wish, which was to build a tree house on a tree so that she could live in a tree like a bird.
It's a pity that the trees in the Hall of Purity are not that big, so we can't build a house on them.
After arriving in Xumi, there are tree houses everywhere, especially Xumi City. The entire city is on top of big trees.
Although this small wish has long since dissipated with the passage of time, it does not prevent her from wanting to play in a particularly big tree and swing on the vines like a dexterous monkey.
"Okay." Jiang Bai agreed happily.
Of course, we can go wherever the hall master says.
Jiang Bai went downstairs to ask the locals about the situation in Shuitian Jungle. He always felt that there was a large area of tall trees there alone, which looked very special.
"Are you going to Water Sky Jungle?"
"Is it dangerous?"
"That's not true. It just rains from time to time there, very frequently. Moreover, there is a swamp below, there are not many roads, and the visibility is not very good in the fog."
"It's not just that. There are a lot of monsters over there, and there are mushroom spores everywhere. Be careful if you inhale too many spores, mushrooms will grow in your stomach."
A nearby vendor chimed in, as if telling a horror story to children.
"Aren't there any rangers to clean it up?"
"The rangers also want to clean it up, but it's all swampy. Those water mushrooms are floating on the water and can't be attacked. In addition, there are no humans living there. Over time, they have multiplied and become like this..."
It can only be said that the Teaching Academy is just an academy and does not have a serious armed organization. The scholars' force is extremely limited, so there is nothing they can do to deal with these overflowing mushrooms.
