Chapter 405: Salt Demon (Two in One)

"Hey, Keqing, long time no see."

Li Qiuzhi looked at the girl who was walking over and greeted her.

"Hey, it's you, Keqing. We're here to give Ningguang the Floating Life Stone. Why are you here too?"

Walnut raised her pretty eyebrows and said in surprise.

"I am Yuhengxing, and I am in charge of matters related to land and construction. Ningguang's reconstruction of the Qunyu Pavilion is such a large project, so I naturally have to come here frequently to check if there are any safety hazards."

Keqing folded her hands under her chest, parted her soft lips and spoke briefly.

"I see. Keqing is really hard-working. She can obviously let her subordinates do this kind of thing, but she still does it herself."

Li Qiuzhi said with praise.

"Don't say that. I didn't do everything by myself." Keqing shook her head, her lavender ponytails swaying slightly. "Besides, for things like this, it's better to come and see for yourself to feel at ease."

If everything is left to others to do, then the information she gets will be based on what others pass on.

It would be very troublesome if, in the long run, her judgments were based on information brought back by others, as this would make her less sensitive to various things.

Doing things this way will gradually become much slower.

If you come out and check it out often, and find any problems, you can just ask someone to deal with them.

Thinking of this, Keqing suddenly shifted her gaze to Li Qiuzhi:
"Speaking of which, would you be interested in doing me a favor?"

"Help? Oh. Can you tell me what it is first?"

Although Li Qiuzhi wanted to agree blindly, that would be too flattering. Treating others with equal respect would make it easier to gain their favor.

Even if there is a high probability that they will agree in the end.

You can understand the situation a little bit before stating your decision, which will make you appear more mature and stable.

Keqing gently tapped her fair and soft chin and said softly:
"Recently, the General Affairs Department received a report from an adventurer that a powerful group of treasure thieves were secretly searching for something near the Salt of the Underground.

"For the treasure-stealing group, the treasure worth their time must be precious treasure, although anyone can find treasure and it is not illegal.

“But their treasure-stealing group attacked adventurers who also wanted to go there and wouldn’t let outsiders get close, because they often engage in such overbearing behavior.

"The treasure-stealing group has become a dangerous factor comparable to monsters in the wild, so I would like to ask you to come with me to arrest them to prevent them from continuing to endanger others there."

She originally wanted to take the Qianyan Army with her.

But this would make too much noise and it would be easy for the treasure-stealing group to notice it in advance and then run away. But it would be different with Li Qiuzhi here.

He can summon some strange translucent tentacles, so it should be no problem for him to capture all the treasure-hunting groups in an instant.

Therefore, when Keqing unexpectedly met Li Qiuzhi, she thought of asking him for help.

"Salt of the Earth. Treasure Stealing Group."

There was no reason for Li Qiuzhi to refuse such a simple task as helping to arrest the treasure-stealing gang.

However, there is a relic of the Salt Demon in the place of Salt in the Earth, which contains two artifacts containing the "power of salt".

The last time I went there, I didn't think of going there because there was no entry for "Golden Treasure House" yet, so I thought it would be troublesome. This time, I have to say that I have some ideas.

Those two artifacts must be much rarer and more precious than those five-star quality relics.

If they could be collected in the "fairyland", Li Qiuzhi was already looking forward to how much they could expand the space of the fairyland!

But there is a seal from Zhongli there, so it’s a little troublesome to get in. It seems I can only go and ask him.

I just don't know if he is willing to say it. After all, his motives are not pure. He went there to obtain the artifact of the Salt Demon.

"No problem, this is just a small matter. When will we take action?"

Li Qiuzhi nodded and agreed.

"Well, thank you for your help. As for the time of action, let's set it in the afternoon. I think they are the most slack right after lunch."

Keqing said with a smile on her face.

[Keqing develops a crush on you, gaining 230 points of crush, current crush level Lv.5 (100/500)]

"Okay, let's meet outside the city then."

Li Qiuzhi said there was no problem.

"Okay, Ningguang's two secretaries, Baiwen and Baishi, are over there. If you want to find Ningguang, you can tell them and they will notify her."

Keqing stretched out her snow-white finger and pointed behind her, to where she had just walked from.

After saying that, she continued to observe the construction progress of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

"Ms. Keqing is indeed a dedicated and responsible Yuhengxing. She is busy with the safety monitoring of the construction site of the Qun Yu Pavilion, while at the same time keeping an eye on the treasure-stealing group far away in the Salt of the Earth.

"You're nothing like Walnut, who has nothing to do all day long and just comes to play pranks on others!"

Yun Jin couldn't help feeling a little emotional as he looked at Keqing's departing back, and then he remembered that there happened to be a negative example around him.

“Hey, hey, why are you dragging me into this?” Hu Tao quickly interrupted Yun Jin’s complaints and turned to run forward, “Let’s go, let’s go find Ning Guang.”

Looking at Hu Tao who was running away, Yun Jin held his forehead helplessly.

Li Qiuzhi smiled and called Shen He and Yun Jin to follow.

Not long after, two secretaries were seen supervising the work on behalf of Ningguang.

Hu Tao, who had come over first, had already explained her purpose to them. After the two secretaries nodded to show that they understood, Bai Shi took out a bright yellow gem from his pocket and crushed it.

"This is a gem that Lady Ningguang made using her elemental power. It is not hard and can be crushed easily. Once it is crushed, it will release Lady Ningguang's own elemental power.

"This way, even if she is far away in Liyue Harbor, she will be able to feel it and understand that we have something to ask her. Lady Ningguang will be here soon."

Bai Wen, who was next to Bai Shi, saw that Li Qiuzhi and the others were curious, so he explained briefly.

"Oh? It seems quite interesting." Walnut pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

“The principle is not difficult. A powerful holder of the Eye of God has a very keen sense of elemental power, not to mention his own elemental power.

"But if you want to do this, it's hard to succeed with other elements, because they're not as stable as rock elements and can't be preserved for a long time."

Li Qiuzhi easily saw the trick.

This is a bit like a telephone, or a wireless one. I wonder if there is a chance to develop an elemental wireless telephone if I study it in depth. All you need to do is release the elemental force stored in advance in a fixed wave, and the person who receives it will also have a "code book" of these elemental force waves.

It may be possible to communicate with each other remotely.

Well, we should let Lisa, the master of elements, to study whether it can work or not. If it can be done, it will definitely be a very marketable product.

Think of this.

Li Qiuzhi immediately contacted Lisa who was far away in Mond through the "Beacon" and told her about his sudden idea.

It's just right for me to wait here for Ningguang to come.

However, he did not chat with Lisa for long, because soon a bright yellow rock elemental magic circle appeared in front of him, and Ningguang, who had long platinum hair, walked out of it in high heels.

"Lord Ningguang!"

The two secretaries greeted respectfully.

“Yes.” Ningguang nodded slightly, folded her hands under her chest, looked at Li Qiuzhi and the others and smiled, “You are really quick. You got the Mingxia Floating Life Stone back so quickly.”

"Haha, after all, this is an important thing that Miss Ningguang is waiting to use to rebuild the Jade Pavilion, so we naturally can't treat it carelessly."

Li Qiuzhi smiled and said:

"That Mingxia Fusheng Stone is about half the size of a room. Where are you going to put it, Miss Ningguang?"

"Well, Bai Wen, go find a few masters to bring some chains over. Put the floating stones in the front so as not to affect the workers' construction, close to the mountain."

Ningguang observed her surroundings and finally made a decision.

"Okay, Lord Ningguang." Bai Wen nodded to show that he understood, and then walked away temporarily.

Next, Ningguang brought Li Qiuzhi and the others to the selected location and indicated that they could take out the Mingxia Floating Life Stone.

Li Qiuzhi did not hesitate. He opened a larger space crack parallel to the ground. Then, without him having to go in and move it, the huge Mingxia Floating Stone slowly floated out by itself.

When it completely emerged and wanted to continue flying into the sky.

Ningguang stretched out her right hand, which was tightly wrapped around the black long sleeves, and pressed her palm slightly, and the Mingxia Floating Stone stopped steadily in mid-air.

Li Qiuzhi could feel a large amount of rock elemental force pulling it down.

He looked at Ningguang with a smile on his face:

"Is this Mingxia Fusheng Stone big enough? Are you satisfied, Miss Ningguang?"

"Haha, of course I am satisfied. The market price of such a large Mingxia Floating Life Stone is generally around 500 to 600 million Mora, but considering its scarcity, it can usually be sold at a premium of 20 to 30 million. And I said I would buy it at a price higher than the market price, so how about adding another 50 million, a total of 680 million Mora to buy it?"

Ningguang stroked the floating stone that had been washed smooth, a look of satisfaction appearing on her fair face.

If someone else asked her for the Mingxia Floating Stone, she would naturally lower the price, but when facing her friends, she would naturally not use those business methods on them.

Six or seven hundred million Moras is not even a drop in the bucket for her.

"Of course I have no problem. What do you think?" Li Qiuzhi seemed to remember that in the original book, the Mingxia Floating Life Stone that the wealthy businessmen fought for was only a little more than 500 million Mora.

680 million is indeed generous of Ningguang.

Of course, he has no problem with it, but he still needs to ask for other people's opinions.

"Well, it is indeed a very high price, but I think it is no problem." Hu Tao hugged her flat chest, closed her eyes, and nodded with satisfaction.

Shen He and Yun Jin had no additional opinions on this, and such a huge deal worth hundreds of millions was done just like that!
"Very good, please give me the secret stone for making the Qianqi core. I will ask Bai Shi to take it to the blacksmith to make it into the Qianqi core. As for the other immortal talismans, I will leave it to Miss Shen He."

He immediately helped her solve the three core things needed to rebuild the Qun Yu Pavilion, and Ningguang's favorability towards Li Qiuzhi and others also increased a little.

[Ningguang develops a favorable impression of you, gaining 240 points of favorable impression. Current favorable impression level is Lv.7 (200/700)]

Li Qiuzhi was also very happy when he saw the favorability prompt that popped up on the character panel. He discussed it with everyone and gave the equally valuable Secret Hua Stone to Ningguang.

She was generous to them, so naturally they couldn't be stingy.

As for the immortal talismans, they were originally given to Ningguang as a small compensation from the immortals for Ningguang sacrificing the Jade Pavilion to save Liyue for the sake of justice.

noon.

Ningguang hosted a banquet for Li Qiuzhi and others at the Glazed Pavilion. When they left, she gave each of them a newly prepared Liyue Bank withdrawal receipt worth 170 million yuan.

They can go to Liyue Bank at any time to withdraw these Moras or transfer them to their own names.

Li Qiuzhi has traveled to Teyvat for so long and finally became a billionaire. This is a small goal achieved, and he can now move towards the level of a ten-billionaire.

But with so much Mora, he didn't have the hobby of saving it and not using it.

He planned to use the money to purchase some rare treasures to collect and expand the fairyland space. He had asked Ningguang to help keep an eye out for this. After all, with her identity as a star of Tianquan, she would have easier access to these things.

After lunch, Shen He temporarily followed Ningguang to make talismans for the immortals.

Yun Jin also wanted to prepare to practice martial arts, so Li Qiuzhi sent her back to Yunhan Society, and then followed Hu Tao back to Wangsheng Hall.

Because he and Keqing are going to the Salt Underground to catch the treasure thieves in the afternoon, but he wants to enter the ruins of the Salt Demon to take the two artifacts, and he has been recalling how to unlock the seal in the game since just now.

Thanks to his good memory, he basically remembered it.

But that is the place where Zhongli sealed it after all. It seems a bit bad to unseal it rashly. It is necessary to give some notice, and it doesn't take much time.

After all, he is the Prince of Rock, so he should be shown a little respect.

Otherwise it would be very embarrassing if he suddenly pops up in the middle of solving the problem.

Anyway, in the original book, he even personally guided the traveler to unlock the seal, so there was no need for him to disagree. At worst, he could just quietly enter the secret realm without unlocking the seal and alerting Zhongli.

This shouldn't be a problem for him!
Not long after, Li Qiuzhi and Hu Tao returned to the Wangsheng Hall. At this time, Zhong Li, an old man who wandered around the streets all day long, was standing by the wall in the hall, admiring a landscape painting hanging there.

Seeing Li Qiuzhi and Hu Tao coming in, he smiled and said:

"Master, you are in a good mood. I heard that you and brother Li Qiuzhi went out for adventure."

"Hey, guest Zhongli, why are you so gossipy? Are you bored because you have nothing to do? Well, good. I just earned 100 million Mora points. I'll leave it to you to expand the business scope of Wangsheng Hall."

Hu Tao heard the teasing in Zhongli's words, frowned, and directly stuffed the withdrawal receipt given by Ningguang into his hand, and gave him instructions for the task.

Li Qiuzhi's eyelids jumped. Why did it feel a bit awkward to let Zhongli, a guy who never bargained when buying things and didn't care how much others asked, to expand the business?

It feels like it won't take long for these 100 million Moras to be squandered!
