Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Bai Shu walked to the pharmacy, where young pharmacists were dispensing medicine. He randomly picked one and asked when Qi Qi had returned.

"She came back two or three days ago, right? Walnut from the Rebirth Hall brought her back."

"Hu Tao brought her back? That's like the sun rising in the west..." Bai Shu was quite surprised.

It's unbelievable that Hu Tao didn't bury Qi Qi, but instead sent her back.

"She said she wouldn't send Qiqi off to her final rest, but I don't know if she meant it. I haven't seen her coming this way these past few days..."

Bai Zhu was even more surprised.

What happened?

He had said it so many times before, but that girl still did what she wanted. Why did she suddenly change her mind?

This sudden change of mind is really unsettling...

"I'd better go find her and ask her what happened."

He picked up his umbrella and walked outside.

"We've just gotten back, and you're already heading out again. At least take a break and have a drink of water..." the snake around his neck complained.

What difference does it make whether I drink some water or not?

"You don't want water, but I do!"

"Isn't there still water in the water bag...?"

Bai Shu walked out while dealing with his somewhat noisy pet. Passersby greeted him along the way, and he smiled and returned their greetings.

As he walked to the Hall of Rebirth, he glanced at the notice board next to him before entering.

He glanced at the flyers for the latest services posted on the notice board, then his gaze suddenly stopped.

"A missing persons service? That's interesting..."

He stepped over the threshold and into the Hall of Rebirth.

Only the ritual master was present in the main hall of the Rebirth Hall. Upon seeing the guests arrive, he stood up to greet them.

"Hello, what service do you need?"

"I'm looking for Master Hu."

"Wait a moment, I'll have someone go find it."

At this time, Hu Tao should be taking a nap in her room, and she shouldn't be hard to find.

Hu Tao was fast asleep in her room. She was wearing pajamas, her hair was loose, and she was hugging a ghost-shaped pillow, lying across the bed.

Because of her unrestrained sleeping posture, the corner of her pajamas, which originally covered her stomach, was lifted up, revealing her navel, making people worry that she might catch a cold.

"Master, someone is looking for you." A knock came from outside the door.

Walnut, who was fast asleep, groggily opened her eyes. "Who's looking for me?"

"It is the atractylodes master of Bubulu."

"Bai Zhu? What does he want with me?"

Forced to end her sweet afternoon nap, Hu Tao changed her clothes, opened the door, and followed Yi Guan to see Bai Shu, feeling somewhat sleepy.

"Mr. Bai Shu, you were looking for me?"

"I heard that Qiqi was trapped in the mountains and it was Master Hu who brought her back. I came here specifically to express my gratitude. Besides that, I am also interested in the latest missing persons service offered by the Rebirth Hall."

Upon hearing about business, Hu Tao's "earning money" antenna immediately sprang to life, and his drowsiness vanished without a trace.

"That's right, that's right, this is indeed our newest service! Are you preparing this service for Qiqi, or do you need to find someone else?"

Bai Shu nodded, "It was indeed prepared for Qi Qi."

"Since it was Hall Master Hu who brought Qiqi back, Hall Master Hu must know about the difficulties Qiqi would encounter when she went out. I just don't know if Hall Master Hu's business can solve this problem."

"To be honest, the inspiration for this business came from Qiqi!"

Hu Tao picked up the tea poured from the ceremonial coffin and drank it all in one gulp, then began to make up a story.

"When I found her stuck on the mountain, after rescuing her, I carefully inquired about the cause and effect. I learned that she often got stuck when she went out to collect herbs. After returning to Wangshengtang, I specially tailored this service for her!"

She took out a brand new pointer and placed it on the table. "Just drip a drop of blood on it, and no matter where Qiqi is, I will be able to find her!"

Chapter 99 Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain

Bai Zhu picked up the pointer and examined it carefully. Judging from its material, it was quite good, but he couldn't tell anything else about it.

He looked up at Hu Tao, "So, how many Mora does it cost to do one?"

Hu Tao thought for a moment, "The first time is free, and every time after that it's 50% off. Consider it my apology for being too persistent with her all these years!"

Hearing her say that, Bai Shu smiled. His smile was faint, unlike his usual gentle and refined smile, but it had a touch of sincerity.

"It seems that Hall Master Hu has really let Qi Qi go..."

"Alas, there are always a few exceptional people in this world, one in a million. Qiqi doesn't want to pass away, what can I do?"

"It's good that Master Hu can think positively."

Bai Zhu no longer wanted to investigate what had happened.

The outcome is good now, and what exactly happened is no longer important.

Hu Tao explained the experiment to him: "Have Qi Qi put a drop of blood on it, and Qi Qi's name will appear on it. Just bring it over when the time comes. If you can't find Qi Qi next time, just come to the Hall of Rebirth to find me."

"it is good."

Although Qiqi is a zombie, the immortal power within her body maintains her vitality, and naturally, she also has blood in her body.

Taking a drop of blood is not a difficult task.

Bai Shu turned and left, while Hu Tao yawned and went back to sleep.

……

……

In the northeast of Liyue stands a great snow mountain, towering into the clouds. A demonic dragon once fell here, and it is known to the world as Dragonspine.

Longji Snow Mountain is covered by dark clouds all day long. The endless dark clouds and storms cover the mountaintop together. The thick ice and snow cover the mountaintop scenery and also bury the past on the mountaintop.

The ice and snow tried to block all those who wanted to peek at the true face of the snow-capped mountains.

Wearing thick winter clothes and carrying his backpack, Katis once again stepped into the snow-capped mountains.

He had walked this road into the snow-capped mountains for countless years. He knew by heart how far he would encounter monsters, where the snowstorm would intensify, and where there were places to rest.

However, for adventurers who want to conquer the snow-capped mountains, the real difficulty is never the monsters or the icy roads, but the cold.

The cold of the snow-capped mountains is different from the harsh winter. This land seems to be cursed by the king of ice and snow. No matter how hot the outside climate is, as soon as you step into it, you can immediately feel the cold rushing towards you. The cold penetrates to the bone marrow, and no matter how many clothes you wear, it is useless.

"Katis, you're back in the snowy mountains again!"

The adventurers gathered at the camp at the foot of the mountain greeted him.

Because he frequently travels to and from the snow-capped mountains, he is quite familiar with the adventurers there.

“Yes!” Katis replied with a smile, the scar across his face not looking gruesome at all.

He looked up at the snow-capped mountain peak, and the adventurous spirit of an explorer could no longer be suppressed.

"This time I'm going to climb to the highest point of the snow mountain!" His tone was full of determination.

After more than a decade of exploration in the snow-capped mountains, he is finally about to take this step.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the towering mountain peak that reached into the clouds, a place that no one had ever actually set foot on before.

But if no one sets foot there, it means danger.

"You absolutely must come back alive!" someone said with a worried expression.

Cartis didn't care; on the contrary, he knew all too well what it meant.

If one is not prepared to die, how dare one talk about climbing to the summit?

"If I can conquer this snow-capped mountain, I will die without regret!"

He laughed loudly, waved goodbye to everyone, and embarked on the road up the mountain.

A breeze blew past him, and the sunlight from beyond the snow-capped mountains shone on him and the earth, as if bathing his path in golden light.

His friends watched his retreating figure until he disappeared into the snow-capped mountains.

They knew they might never see this friend again.

……

Jiang Bai had no idea that his first client had already gone up the snow mountain.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't stop anything.

Their business is about letting customers do what they want without worry, so why would they stop them?

He was checking his belongings; as someone who might have to leave at any moment, he naturally had to bring everything he needed.

He didn't know when his first customer would have an accident, but he knew that being well-prepared was always the best policy.

"Emergency ropes, non-slip boots, warm sleeping bags, firewood and charcoal for heating, biscuits and meat patties for sustenance, sunglasses to prevent snow blindness..."

He carefully counted each item, placing them neatly and not missing a single inch of space in the Sanqing Bell.

"Three cubic meters still feels a bit small..."

It looks big, but it's not big enough when you put things in it.

In particular, he also put a bunch of firewood and charcoal in the kitchen, which made the previously spacious area feel cramped.

As for why he put firewood in his space, he probably did so because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to find dry firewood to start a fire and keep warm on the snowy mountain...

After all, he had no experience going to the snow mountain, and all his knowledge of the snow mountain came from his distant view from Liyue Harbor.

After tidying up his things, Jiang Bai pushed open the door and went out to play with Hu Tao.

He doesn't know when he'll embark on a grueling work journey, so now that he has time, he should make the most of it.

"Master, Master, where are you? Let's go fishing!"

He was shouting, almost as if he was about to use a megaphone to broadcast a missing walnut notice.

Walnut, who was lying on the roof sunbathing, threw a tile at the roof, yelling, "What are you yelling about! What kind of behavior is this!"

Jiang Bai dodged the incoming attack with a nimble movement.

"Master, so you've been here all along!"

Seeing the walnut tree on the roof, Jiang Bai used rock elements to build a ladder and quickly climbed up to the roof.

"One tile costs ten molars; if you step on it, you'll have to pay the full price."

Jiang Bai froze as soon as he stepped onto the roof tiles, carefully lifting his leg and retreating back onto the stone steps.

"Master, what are you doing here?"

"Didn't you see? I'm absorbing the essence of the sun!"

The walnut tree lay spread out on the roof, exposed to direct sunlight without any obstruction.

"What's the use?" Jiang Bai tilted his head.

"Those of us in this line of work inevitably accumulate a lot of yin energy, so we need to get more sun exposure."

Hu Tao raised her hand, and in the sunlight, her hand was as white as a painted wall, which, combined with her black nail polish, looked unhealthy.

Looking at his unhealthy hands and those pure black nails, Jiang Bai suddenly felt a little worried.

"Master, did you paint your nails yourself, or is there some other reason for this?"

Hu Tao withdrew her hand, looked at it, and said with a grin, "Of course I painted it myself!"

She sat up, dangling her hands in front of her as if she were a little devil, trying to scare people.

"How about it? Doesn't it look just like a female ghost's hand?"

"So alike, so incredibly alike!"

"That's exactly the effect we wanted! Without this effect, how could we scare people?"
