Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Their eyes shone like light bulbs, and they immediately took up the job of miners.

Clement, the Winter's Man traveling with them, was stunned!

He thought he was already very greedy, but he never expected that these two were the real masters of keeping their wealth hidden!

He started to worry that he wouldn't be able to compete with the treasure when it was found...

"I'll go inside and take a look first. Remember to follow me quickly!"

To avoid missing out on the treasure, he decided to strike first, leaving behind a message before heading deeper into the cave.

Compared to the treasures that might belong to the demon gods, these ores are utterly insignificant.

Seeing that Jiang Bai was determined to dig out all the amber, Zhong Li walked over to Jiang Bai and patted him on the shoulder.

Jiang Bai, who was carefully digging to avoid damaging the several pieces of fine amber, looked up in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Xiaobai, watch carefully."

Seeing Zhongli's posture, Jiang Bai realized that he was finally going to fulfill his duties as a master and prepare to teach his good disciple.

He quickly stood up, not missing a single move Zhongli made.

Inclusiveness

Zhongli raised his hand, and an invisible resonance wave emanated from his body. Several pieces of fine amber on the stone wall separated from the wall and fell to the ground.

"Master! How did you do that! Teach me quickly!"

Jiang Bai's eyes shone like light bulbs, and he called out "Master" with exceptional fervor.

With this trick, you can just wave your hand and the best ore will come out. I won't even go into how cool it is, this is simply an essential skill for getting rich!

"The vibrations of rocks and minerals are different, and the vibrations of different minerals also vary. As long as you understand their vibrations, you can easily separate them through the resonance of rock elements..."

Jiang Bai picked up a piece of amber thoughtfully; this was indeed a method of using rock elements that he had never thought of before.

"Then how can we grasp their fluctuations?"

"You need to experience it for yourself."

Jiang Bai decided to touch the amber every night before going to bed, hoping to master the mining technique as soon as possible!

Skipping over this insignificant part, the group arrived at the depths of the cave.

Wan Yan had long since disappeared; only the footprints on the ground indicated that she had been there not long ago.

The interior of the ruins was quite dark, with only a few candles that had survived for thousands of years emitting a faint light.

Jiang Bai saw a human-shaped statue that looked like it was encased in rock. The statue remained in the same position in front of it, either kneeling in prayer or looking terrified.

Upon closer inspection, they were not rocks at all, but rather grains of salt!

However, due to the passage of time and the dampness, the salt has clumped together, and some details of the person's body are no longer visible.

"This...this is a statue?" Paimon felt a little scared.

"No, they are human. These people are the followers of the Salt Demon God from back then."

"Huh?" Paimon felt even more horrified!

"But why did they all turn into salt...? Was it caused by the Salt Demon God...?" Jiang Bai asked, but he already had the answer in his heart.

Who else but the Salt Demon God, who wields the power of salt, could turn people into salt?

The deeper you go, the more magnificent those once-ancient buildings become.

Jiang Bai carefully observed the patterns on these buildings. They were unlike any he had ever seen before; they must be the unique aesthetic of the Salt Demon God.

Chapter 406 Is this kind of power considered strong?

"Hey, what are you two doing here!" Paimon saw Wanyan and Clement arguing.

There seems to be a jar in front of them!

The group quickly walked over.

"What are you fighting over?" Paimon crossed his arms and stepped between the two arguing men.

"It's all because of this woman. I just wanted to see this salt shaker, but she kept saying she was afraid I'd take it, like she was guarding against a thief..."

Speaking of Clement, I feel resentful.

Although the woman came in first, they arrived at the same time and saw the salt container at the same time.

"Let me see."

Zhongli walked over to the jar, looked at it, and then suddenly realized.

"There's only half salt in here. As far as I know, this should be one of the artifacts of the Salt Demon God. Although it's only half, there will always be half. In other words, it's endless."

"Does that mean that as long as I keep pouring salt out, the salt in the jar will never decrease?"

Clement immediately became excited.

With this, he could completely monopolize the salt business without any cost!

Judging from the quality of the salt in this jar, it's all top-quality salt!

Wan Yan was also very pleased and glanced at Jiang Bai with a smug look, as if she had found evidence to refute him.

"See that? It can produce an endless supply of salt. As expected, the power of the Salt Demon is very strong!"

Jiang Bai rolled his eyes, dismissing it with disdain.

What a joke! During the Demon God War, you think you can drown your enemies with salt using such a small jar?

Judging from the size of this jar and the amount of salt inside, it would take most of the day just to pour it out and cover a person.

Not to mention using this thing to fight a demon god whose body is larger than mountains and seas.

Jiang Bai's dismissive attitude clearly provoked Wan Yan even more. Wan Yan gave him a gloomy look and walked away without looking back.

“As per our agreement, everyone will take one item in turn, so I’ll accept this salt jar.” Clement happily pocketed the salt jar.

Zhongli slowly spoke, "Since this one has been chosen, then according to the contract, the next one will belong to someone else."

Before entering the ruins, they made a pact that each person would take one item in turn, with Zhongli not participating.

"No problem, no problem!"

Clement readily agreed; what could be more valuable than this!

The further you go in, the more "people" you see.

These people, who have long since turned into salt sculptures, are in various poses, some still in the act of fleeing, others with their hands clasped in prayer, as if confessing to the gods.

"What exactly happened here...?"

Even Clement felt uneasy after seeing so many of these statues.

"You should be able to find out if you go further in..."

Not long after, the group saw Wanyan again. She was standing in front of a stone ruler, frowning in deep thought.

“And what is this? A ruler?” Clement asked.

“This is a measuring instrument,” Wan Yan replied affirmatively.

"This is also a product of the Salt Demon God. Once this salt ruler is inserted into the ground, the soil will be covered with salt as if it were flooding. The deeper it goes, the more salt grains there will be. In other words, it is a 'harvest' of salt."

Upon hearing this, Wanyan immediately grabbed the salt ruler. Holding the divine weapon, she became fearless and looked at Jiang Bai with a mocking expression.

"Hmph, you foolish lackey of Morax, now you have nothing to say!"

Jiang Bai crossed his arms and said, "Do you believe that the salt ruler in your hand is about to fall into my hands?"

Upon hearing this, Wanyan's expression changed, and she quickly hugged the salt ruler tightly, afraid that he would snatch it away.

Jiang Bai was just trying to scare her because he didn't like her; to say that he was really interested in the salt ruler was a lie.

"It sounds impressive, but it's just that—it sounds impressive."

Jiang Bai meticulously analyzed for her exactly where the salt ruler was weak.

"First of all, the soil is just covered with salt, not that the soil has turned into salt. In other words, the salt still comes out of this salt ruler, and there is no difference in effect from that salt cup."

"Secondly, there's efficiency. Take the salt-bearing area for example. If we want to cover all the salt in the ground with this salt ruler, do you think it will take a year or two?"

"With this much time, the Emperor could have killed the Salt Demon God a thousand times over!"

"You...you...talking nonsense!" Wan Yan's face turned red with anger.

"Excuse me, everyone, I'll gladly accept this salt ruler as well."

Clement snatched the salt ruler from her when she wasn't looking.

Thank you everyone, and I hope to see you again someday!

After grabbing the items, he made a quick getaway.

With this salt ruler and salt cup, he could dominate the entire salt market! Wealth beyond measure was within his grasp!

"Hey! Where do you think you're going!" Jiang Bai pulled him out of the shadows.

"Haven't you heard what the Rock King Emperor said? Once a contract is made, the one who breaks it shall be punished by being eaten by the Rock."

How dare they break the contract in front of the old man? Does he think that the disciple of the Emperor doesn't exist?

“That is your Liyue god, I am a Winterborn!”

"Oh, so the Winter Solstice people are something else! Even if you, the Winter Solstice Queen, were here, you would still have to abide by the contract!"

After uttering a harsh remark, Jiang Bai looked at Zhong Li and asked in a very obsequious manner:

"Master, how is the punishment of eating rocks carried out again? Does it involve making him eat stones?"

"Punishment alone will suffice."

"That makes things easy."

Jiang Bai snapped his fingers, took the salt ruler and salt cup, and used rock element to seal his entire body, leaving only his head for him to move around in.

"Alright, since my master has spoken, you won't be allowed to eat any more stones. You'll stay here until we've finished exploring this place!"

Jiang Bai glanced at Wan Yan, who had taken several steps back in fright, and smiled in a particularly dangerous way.

"Now that we're here, Miss Wanyan, who's posing as an archaeologist, it's time for you to explain your true origins."

"Yes, you're not an archaeologist at all; you're just interested in the Salt Demon itself."

Even Paimon noticed her abnormality.

Faced with the terrifyingly powerful Jiang Bai, reason ultimately prevailed over her disgust and anger towards him.

Wan Yan took a deep breath and said, "I come from one of the seven branches of Liyue, the Silver Plains Hall, which is in charge of the salt industry."

"Tsk, he's actually an official. When did Ningguang's judgment of people become so poor..."

Wan Yan ignored his words and continued to tell her story.

"My ancestors were people who were protected by the Salt Demon during the time when the Demon God War swept across the continent."

"I knew it..."

Jiang Bai interrupted her again. Wan Yan took several deep breaths and continued at her own pace.

Although Jiang Bai is Morax's foolish lackey, Zhongli and the Traveler are different; they are just, and she must seek justice for the Salt Demon!

P.S.: The cover has been changed, and I'm planning to change the title to "Walnut Uses Me to Boost Sales Performance".

Don't lose it, everyone!

Happy Children's Day! (coo coo coo)

[He covered his head and ran away]

Chapter 407 I'm a lackey and I'm proud of it!

"During the war, Morax assassinated our god. He was jealous of the power of the Salt Demon God and caused us to be displaced!"
