Back in the Hall of the Dead, Kong and Jiang Bai officially followed Zhongli and began to prepare for the Immortal Ceremony.

As for Paimon, it's the mascot used to make up the numbers.

Kong and Jiang Bai walked on Zhongli's side, sandwiching Zhongli in the middle, like two Dharma protectors.

Zhongli talked to the idle as he walked, "I've heard about your deeds in Mondstadt. You've been busy since you first arrived in Liyue, so when it's time to stay in Liyue and experience the completely different customs of Liyue and Mondstadt. ”

"Uh-huh." Paimon nodded vigorously.

Sora nodded slightly, and without Zhongli saying anything, he would stop here, not only Liyue, but also Mondstadt.

Zhongli continued, "Preparing for the Immortal Ceremony takes time and effort, but this process will also become a part of your journey and broaden your knowledge. ”

"Mr. Zhongli speaks in a crepe, you may not understand it well, let me translate it for you." Jiang Bai opened his mouth and attracted all the attention of several people.

Hearing Jiang Bai's words, Zhongli raised his eyes to look at him, wondering what explanation Jiang Bai could give for such a simple sentence.

Jiang Bai held his head in his hands, ignored Zhongli's strange gaze, and said to himself his understanding:

"What Mr. Zhongli means is: Although it will be very tiring to perform the Immortal Ceremony, there is no substantial reward for you. But your participation in this matter is a value in itself, and when you go out in the future, you can pretend to be forced to others, saying that you personally held a ceremony for the rock god in Liyue, and others will look at you in amazement......"

Zhongli: "......"

I kind of want to refute it, but it's not wrong that his words are so understood, forget it.

"Is there still so much information hidden in such a sentence?" Paimon was shocked, and gained a new understanding of the way the Liyue people spoke.

Kong looked at Jiang Bai strangely, he was really a little worried that Mr. Zhongli would suddenly slap Jiang Bai.

Zhongli sighed slightly, a little helpless.

His way of understanding as a future apprentice has always been extraordinary.

He didn't say any more nonsense, but said, "The first step in preparing for the ceremony is to obtain the best Yebo Stone of sufficient quality to match the gods. ”

Several people came all the way to Xie Cuixing, which sells ore, and when they saw a guest coming, the boss Shi greeted him as soon as possible.

"Welcome, guest, would you like to pick a few stones to try your luck?"

"No, we're here to find the best quality Nightpark." Jiang Bai directly interrupted the boss's pitch.

He had been here twice before when he was bored, but he didn't know anything about ore, so he bought a few pieces casually and didn't open anything.

I once heard Hu Tao say that Zhongli once opened a stone and opened a few pieces of the best, but I don't know if it's in this store.

"It must be at least a [candlelight] level of the Night Park Stone." The bell leaves the mouth.

As soon as he heard Zhongli's words, the boss immediately knew that this was not someone who could get it.

The grade in the Night Park Stone is not known to professionals.

"Wait a minute, I'll pick up the goods right away."

It didn't take long for the boss to bring out a few brocade boxes, and as soon as he opened them, what was in each brocade box was the best night park.

"What do you think of this?" The boss looked at Zhongli, the person who spoke among them, and said, "Look at this quality, it is absolutely excellent, it is simply a rare gift from the Lord of Yan, you can choose whatever you want." ”

Several people looked at Zhongli together, how to choose, only Zhongli knew among them.

"Zhongli, which one shall we buy?" Paimon asked.

Zhongli looked at the three top-notch Yebo stones in front of him, "Of course it's all. ”

Jiang Bai stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and he was deeply worried about his future.

The future master is too good at losing, how can he afford it?

The boss was overjoyed, and immediately wanted to wrap up the things, and at the same time did not forget to pat the ass, "I have long seen that you are extraordinary, and your shot is really generous." ”

"Wait a minute, he doesn't count, we'll just buy one." Jiang Bai interrupted the boss's movements.

Although the hall master said that the funds will be reimbursed in full, this is only the first thing, so it is better not to squander it too much.

"Yes, yes, if the ceremony only needs one piece, it's too wasteful to buy three!" Paimon echoed in and tried to dispel Zhongli's thoughts.

Zhongli seemed to have noticed that he still had to consider the budget, "I didn't think about this aspect just now, I didn't think about it well." ”

"Huh? How can you buy something without thinking about Mora? Paimon was shocked again.

"It's good to get used to it, we never look at the price when we buy things." Jiang Bai complained silently.

He must fix Zhongli's problem, otherwise he will not be able to raise it in the future!

"If Mora is to be considered first in everything, it is equivalent to being bound by Mora in everything." Zhongli defended himself in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Is that why you send your bills all the time?" Jiang Bai complained again.

Zhongli was speechless.

"I thought Mr. Zhongli was rich, but it turned out that he was all bookkeeping......" Sora felt like he had discovered some kind of truth.

"He's really rich, but he doesn't take any money with him." Jiang Bai looked at Zhong Li, "In my opinion, Mr. Zhong Li, you should still deposit your savings in the Hall of the Dead, so that the hall master has to reconcile with you every month." ”

Although most of Zhongli's bills were deducted from his salary, that salary was not enough for his usual expenses.

When reconciling the account, he was not able to take out the money every time, and Hu Tao posted a lot of money into it every month.

Zhongli took out billions of Mora at once, and that time was really unprecedented.

Zhongli stared at Jiang Bai, seeing that Jiang Bai shrank his neck, shut up and was silent.

Paimon scratched his head, "I always feel like the relationship here is a bit complicated......"

"Let's go back to the Nightwall." Zhongli changed the topic, "The identification of the quality of the Yebo stone is indeed tricky, no matter how good or bad a piece of raw ore is, its texture, color, and internal rock pattern will not be much different. It is only when the utensils made by Yebo Stone are molded that it will be found that some of the finished products cannot be put on the table at all. ”

"At this time, if you go to those profiteers for theory, they will prevaricate on reasons such as "your synthesis table is not good" or "the heat is not right......"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhongli, you better choose directly." Jiang Bai didn't really want to hear his tirade.

Zhongli can say everything so he comes, and the interest comes, and he can even talk for half an hour in one breath without stopping, and it's tiring to stand and listen to it like this.

Zhongli looked at Jiang Bai again, and Jiang Bai silently took a step back and brought Paimon in front of him to block himself.

Paimon snorted at Jiang Bai's actions and flew up, revealing him.

Zhongli felt that when he was free, he should teach Jiang Bai what it means to respect teachers.

The first thing to do is not to disturb his interest in speaking.
