The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 131 Do you understand Morax or do I understand Morax

After leaving the Hall of Rebirth, Ruo Jin quickly found Zhongli with the help of geomagnetic perception. At this time, Zhongli and Ying were standing in front of a stall selling ore. They seemed to be talking to the stall owner Shi Tou. Paimeng, who was standing next to them, was holding a string of candied haws and stuffing them into his mouth.

"My three guests, these three pieces of Yebo Stone are the best quality I can offer. If you are still not satisfied, you can only look for other places."

Shitou put the three Yebo stones on the table with an embarrassed look on his face for Ying and Zhongli to choose from. However, Ying knew nothing about things like minerals, and she couldn't tell any difference between the three Yebo stones no matter how hard she looked.

There was no other way, Ying had to look to Zhongli for help. After all, Zhongli was the one responsible for purchasing the supplies for the Xian Ceremony, and she was just arranged by the Master to help Zhongli and to gather information.

"Well, this is indeed a difficult decision. Boss, I'll take both."

"Hey! Zhongli, stop talking nonsense. Young Master bought the Night Stone for our Mora, so he can't buy anything else!"

Paimeng, who was still thinking about getting some kickbacks from the Mora given by the young master, immediately stopped Zhongli from continuing speaking excitedly. According to Zhongli's shopping method, she and Ying would probably have to pay for the Mora in the end if they accompanied him to buy things, which was something Paimeng could not accept at all.

"But the best quality Yebo Stone should be used in the Immortal Gift Ceremony. We cannot judge the quality of Yebo Stone, so the best way is to buy them all."

Zhongli's calm tone seemed to be telling the truth, and Paimeng didn't know what to say for a moment. Oh my god, what Zhongli said did seem to make sense, but why did she always feel like something was wrong?

"Zhongli, stop fooling Paimon. Boss, pack up the Night Stone on the far right."

Ruojin, who had rushed over from the Hall of Rebirth, felt relieved when she saw Zhongli like this. No matter what, Zhongli was still the same as before, so what Hutao was worried about should not happen.

As for how he knew that the Yebo Stone on the far right was of the best quality, a certain Dragon King who had been dealing with stones in the seal for his entire life said that even without touching the stone, he could still tell which one was the best.

"Ruo Jin, hey, you really helped a lot."

Seeing that the boss had wrapped up the Night Stone, Paimon happily paid the Mora. Being able to save so much Mora at once, Paimon felt sweeter than the sugar on the outside of the candied haws.

"I heard you were buying things for the Immortal Ceremony, so I came to take a look."

Ruo Jin looked at the Night Mooring Stone on the stall. He was quite curious as to why this thing would appear in the Immortal Sending Ceremony. He had read the book that Hu Tao was looking for before coming here. The book did not record that the Night Mooring Stone was required for the Immortal Sending Ceremony. Could it be that the Night Mooring Stone was something that the Emperor liked?

"Master Ruo Tuo, did the Emperor like Yebo Stone very much when he was alive?"

"Night Stone? I remember Morax didn't seem to be very interested in this thing."

King Ruota was stunned by Ruojin's nonsensical question. Although he didn't know what Ruojin meant, King Ruota still answered Ruojin's question truthfully.

Since the Rock King did not like the Night Stone when he was alive, and there was no custom of placing the Night Stone in the ceremony of sending off the immortals, could it be that Zhongli bought this Night Stone because he wanted to collect it himself?
Ruojin looked at Zhongli with a suspicious look. Zhongli felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ruojin. At the same time, he was also a little confused. Was he exposed? This shouldn't be the case. With Ruojin's intelligence, how could he see through his disguise? No, he had to listen to what Ruojin said.

Zhongli secretly mobilized a trace of immortal power and performed a magic spell. He wanted to listen to what Ruota said in the seal, but the only response he got was silence. This made Zhongli a little worried. Would he really be exposed?

"Um, Zhongli, you don't want to buy the Night Stone for your own collection, do you? I remember that the Night Stone is not used in the ceremony of inviting the immortals."

Ruo Jin's question made Zhongli feel relieved. Fortunately, it seems that he was not exposed. He said that Ruo Tuo could not see through his disguise. "Although the Night Mooring Stone is not required in the ceremony of inviting the immortals, I think the emperor should like the Night Mooring Stone that sparkles in the sun."

"This...Mr. Zhongli, are you sure that the Emperor will like the Night Stone? As far as I know, the Emperor doesn't seem to be interested in the Night Stone?"

Ruo Jin repeated the words of the Ruota Dragon King as tactfully as possible. Zhongli shook his head and said lightly.

"I once heard from someone who knew a lot about the Emperor that after his death, the Emperor hoped that the Night Mooring Stone would appear in the ceremony to send him off, so I came here to buy one."

Are you sure that the person who knows a lot about the Emperor is not Zhongli yourself? Ruo Jin's mouth twitched a few times. You are worthy of being Zhongli to be able to talk nonsense seriously. Even so, Hu Tao was still worried that Zhongli was deceived by the Fatui. Now that he thinks about it, Ruo Jin feels that a fool among the Fatui may have to be Zhongli's wallet for a while.

After all, in Liyue Harbor, which business doesn't want to see Zhongli come to their door? In Liyue Harbor, you can doubt anything, but you can never doubt Zhongli's generosity. This is widely circulated among the merchants in Liyue Harbor.

"Humph, this guy named Zhongli looks a bit like Morax, but he doesn't know anything about Morax!"

"Morax's favorite ore is amber. I know this very well. Jin boy, buy some amber."

It was only then that Ruojin noticed that in addition to the Yebo Stone, there were also many ambers on the stall. These ambers looked to be of very good quality. Ruojin pointed at the ambers on the stall and asked.

"Zhongli, how about we buy some amber? I think the Emperor would like it."

"There's no need to waste Mora like this. Based on my research on the Emperor, the Night Mooring Stone is enough."

Zhongli shook his head to express his disapproval of Ruojin's suggestion. He himself knew what he liked. It would be fine to put a few pieces of amber at the ceremony of inviting the immortals, but he would rather put some Yebo stones at the ceremony of sending the immortals away, because he hoped that Liyue in the future would be as dazzling as high-quality Yebo stones.

Moreover, this ceremony of sending off the immortals is for himself, and he does not plan to conduct it according to the previous ceremonies. In addition to the things needed for the ceremony, he will purchase some things according to his own preferences.

What's that saying? I've fought all my life, so what's wrong with enjoying it? Anyway, this is the last time. After the ceremony of sending off the immortals, the Geo King of Liyue will only become a legend, and Zhongli will be his new identity.

Zhongli naturally would not say these words to anyone, which led to the fact that the Dragon King Ruota became very angry after hearing Zhongli's words. He shook the huge tail behind him, and his tone was filled with anger.

"Jin boy, don't worry about this guy named Zhongli. After you buy it, just put it in the Immortal Sending Ceremony. If I can get my voice out, I want to ask him, is it him who understands Morax or me who understands Morax."

puff~
Hearing what the Dragon King Ruota said, Zhongli, who had just taken a sip of a cup of herbal tea bought from the stall next to him, couldn't help but spit out the tea.

"Zhongli, are you okay?"

"No problem, I just choked on my tea."

Zhongli wiped the corner of his mouth pretending to be calm. If someone else said such words, he would not have such a big reaction, but he couldn't help but feel that these words were said by his good brother, Ruota Dragon King.
