I'm a male god in Liyue

The principle of "sitting idle and eating one's savings" is irrefutable.

The city is different from the wilderness. There are no fruits to pick freely here. If Xia Zhi wants to live in the city, he must find a suitable job.

A job that would make it easy for him to speed up the progress bar and get the treasure chest.

However, this kind of job is not easy to find, and Xia Zhi has no clue what to do about it yet.

"Let's take a look first."

Xia Zhi put the box containing the glasses into his inventory, thinking to himself.

"Let's explore Liyue City today and familiarize ourselves with the city before making any plans."

As for the money, it's not a big deal.

He still had a dozen or so slime items in his inventory. If he took them all to the Adventurers' Guild to complete quests, he could exchange them for more than 10,000 Mora, enough to last him for more than a month.

Xia Zhi walked out from the street corner, and a petite girl walked past on the street not far away.

Her white hair was tied into a long braid, and she wore a round hat. There were strange talismans on her forehead and back of her head, with bright red patterns drawn on them in cinnabar. She wore a string of beads around her neck, dressed in what looked like a Taoist robe, and white socks on her feet. Above the socks, her legs were wrapped in white bandages.

She carried a small medicine basket on her back, her steps slightly stiff, the basket filled with freshly picked herbs.

Xia Zhi looked at the girl's back with some surprise.

In his "eyes," the girl had a golden progress bar hanging on her body, just like the little crane.

Progress: [0%]

Chapter Seventeen Offering Incense to Prince Yan

The girl walked further and further away, and soon disappeared from Xia Zhi's 20-meter detection range.

Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment, then took a step and followed the direction in which the girl had disappeared.

After walking a short distance, the girl reappeared within Xia Zhi's detection range.

He slowed his pace and began to observe the girl silently.

Although the girl had her back to him, his God-like perspective still allowed him to clearly "see" her face.

It was a delicate face that was somewhat pale, with large, red eyes that were beautiful yet revealed a clear sense of bewilderment.

If I had to describe it in words, I'd say it's a bit of a natural airhead.

From her appearance, she seemed to be just an innocent young girl gathering herbs.

But the golden progress bar hanging on her body reminded Xia Zhi that this girl was definitely not as simple as she seemed on the surface.

After all, even the three-meter-tall, shield-wielding, terrifying humanoid monster that Xia Zhi encountered in the wild only had a silver progress bar on its body.

This means that the girl in front of them has surpassed that terrifying humanoid monster on some level, and is of the same kind as the little crane.

Xia Zhi followed the girl through the streets, from the port area to Feiyun Slope, and then from Feiyun Slope to the lotus pond below Yujing Terrace.

Fish chased and frolicked in the pond, while many tourists enjoyed the scene from the pond's edge.

The girl seemed a little shy, keeping her head down and quickening her pace, deliberately choosing to walk in less crowded areas. She crossed the lotus pond, walked up the steps on the right, and went straight into a medicine hut.

Xia Zhi stopped in front of the steps and looked up at the sign of the medicine shop.

"Bu Bu Lu".

The so-called divination refers to consulting spirits and deities, seeking answers in hopes of receiving a response.

"No divination" means there's no need to consult ghosts or gods; if you fall ill, just come to this hut to get medicine.

The fact that this medicine shop dares to use such a name yet hasn't had its signboard smashed is enough to show the superb medical skills of its owner.

Xia Zhi admired the lotus pond while observing the people who came to Bu Bu Lu seeking prescriptions and medicine.

Despite it being morning, people were still coming in droves to see the doctor. These people seemed to believe that the pharmacist at Bubulu was the best pharmacist in Liyue, and that they could only feel at ease when they received treatment there.

It gives you the feeling of a world where specialist clinics are always fully booked.

Xia Zhi also learned three names from the patients.

The owner of the medicine shop, Bai Zhu, was highly respected and had excellent medical skills.

The pharmacist, A-Gui, is responsible for dispensing medicines daily.

Qiqi, the apprentice herb gatherer, is responsible for gathering herbs and preparing them.

"Is she Qiqi?"

Xia Zhi took out the map he had bought the night before and found the name Bu Bu Lu on it.

This place has been marked with two stars by the map shop owner, meaning it's highly recommended.

"It seems that Bubulu is really famous in Liyue."

Xia Zhi put away the map, memorized the place, and then prepared to leave.

Lotus Pond is located at the junction of Yujingtai and Feiyunpo, and can be considered a park-like recreational area.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then went up the steps on the other side, deciding to visit Yujingtai first.

In contrast to Tiger Rock, where ordinary people gather, Jade Peak is where Liyue's elite reside; simply put, it's the residential area for the powerful and wealthy.

Last night, when Xia Zhi was having dinner with Brother Liu, Brother Liu mentioned that the thing he wanted to do most in his life was to make money and live in Jade Capital Terrace, which shows the status of Jade Capital Terrace in the eyes of the people of Liyue.

The steps were very long, leading all the way up the mountain.

This is probably one of the reasons why houses in Yujingtai are so expensive: they are located on high ground, have good lighting, offer a wide view, and are not easily submerged by seawater.

Upon ascending the steps, Xia Zhi saw Thousand Rock Army soldiers standing guard at the entrance, carrying long spears.

After all, the Moonsea Pavilion, which serves as the council venue for the Liyue Seven Stars, is located in Jade Capital Terrace, so it's only natural to strengthen security and defense here.

Qianyan Jun glanced at Xia Zhi, but after seeing that he was just a young man without weapons, he looked away.

Xia Zhi walked in naturally. Inside was a large square, surrounded by beautiful rainbow flowers and glass lilies that could not be seen elsewhere on the mainland.

The flowers are fragrant and the air is filled with their aroma.

With such a great environment, no wonder the property prices here are so high.

Xia Zhi took a gentle breath of the fragrant air and strolled alone in the square.

To the left of the square is a residential area guarded by bodyguards, and to the right is the Moon Sea Pavilion, guarded by the Thousand Rock Army.

At this time, there were also many people strolling around the square. Most of them were dressed in expensive clothes of brocade and silk, and their demeanor was elegant. No one was talking or laughing loudly, and the scene was quiet and friendly.

It was quite different from the bustling atmosphere of Chihuyan and the port area.

All I can say is that this place is incredibly high-class.

That's so boring.

Xia Zhi shook his head, crossed the huge square, and arrived at the Rock King Temple on the other side.

The reason why this square at Yujingtai was built so large was to accommodate more people when holding the ceremony to invite the immortals.

Xia Zhi recalled the notice she had seen at the city gate yesterday.

Lord Yan is no longer here, and the ritual to invite the immortals will no longer be held.

However, the Rock King Temple on Yujing Terrace has been preserved, and many people still come every day to offer incense to the statue of the Rock King, hoping to receive his protection.

Some people refused to believe the Seven Stars' announcement and believed that Lord Yan was still alive.

Some people come to the temple simply to find peace of mind.

"Rock God..."

Xia Zhi stood in front of the temple, looking at the huge statue of a god sitting inside.

It was the image of a hooded man, his face indistinct, but one could sense a mysterious and composed aura emanating from him.

It seems to be the result of the passage of time, or perhaps the remnant of a divine intervention.

Next to the temple, there were vendors selling incense, with all kinds of incense on their stalls.

Some are long, some are short, some are thick, some are thin.

Xia Zhi walked over and asked, "How much is the incense?"

The merchant asked with a smile, "You can sell them one by one, or by bundle. Which kind of incense do you prefer?"

Xia Zhi pointed to the thickest and longest incense stick on the stall and asked, "How much is one stick of this?"

The merchant smiled even more broadly and said, "100 Mora."

Xia Zhi silently withdrew his finger. One incense stick costs 100 Mora, and three incense sticks cost 300 Mora. That price is enough for him to eat six plates of crab roe tofu at Wanmintang.

"Would the guest like this?"

"No."

"That?"

What's the cheapest type of incense?

"It smells like this herb, 1 mora per stick."

"I'll take these three, please."
