"You study hard with Lady Lotia, you know? I'll pick you up later, don't run around."

Jiang Bai instructed Gu Dong, and then took out a box of water element crystal nuclei, most of which he bought in the market, and the price was very expensive.

Jiang Bai used the wind element to lift the box and fly in front of Lotia.

"Lady Lotia, these are pure water elemental crystal nuclei, thank you for your willingness to teach it."

He didn't know what the water elves would like, these water elemental crystal nuclei were bought to feed Gollum.

"I don't need any of that, but I accept your kindness."

Lotia returned the thing.

"Then please ask Lady Lotia to keep it for me, and feed it one every few days."

Jiang Bai pushed the thing back again, but this time Lotia didn't refuse again.

Jiang Bai said to Gudong: "Okay, let's study with Ms. Lodia, let's go back first." ”

Gollum rubbed his face and happily flew up to Lotia, circling around her.

The two of them waved at it and left.

I hope that the next time I come back, I will be able to grasp the mystery of water!

Returning to Liyue Harbor with Hu Tao, Jiang Bai was about to buy a little more pure water element crystal nuclei to save up, when he saw Zhongli listening to a book in the teahouse where he was staying.

He couldn't help but walk in.

In the teahouse, Wu Tiezui stood on the stage, talking about the excitement, and his voice was passionate and surging.

Jiang Bai originally wanted to talk to Zhongli, but he couldn't help but be attracted by this storytelling.

"Lord Yan was walking alone in the mountains, and in a crack in the ground, he heard an unheard distant sound. The voice was sometimes poignant as a song, sometimes as terrible as thunder.

"Lord Rock went around and finally found a strange strange stone in the rock formation.

"Lord Yan took pity on the spirituality of this stone, so he personally carved it into a ingenious and lifelike dragon.

"Then use your fingers as a pen and put the dragon's eyes on the spot!

"It's too late, it's too fast, the sky is lightning and thunder, and a real dragon is born......"

Jiang Bai was fascinated by what he heard, and he was very curious if there was really such a thing.

He looked at Zhongli and saw that Zhongli was listening carefully, so he didn't bother him.

When this story ended, Jiang Bai finally couldn't hold back his curiosity.

Leaving the teahouse, Jiang Bai pestered Zhongli and asked, "Master, Master, is the story just now true?" ”

"Yes and no." Zhongli shook his head.

"What do you say?" As soon as he said this, Jiang Bai became even more curious.

"There are too many posterity processing in this story, and the Dragon King is not carved by the Rock King......"

"Doesn't that mean that the dragon is real? The emperor gave the dragon king an eye? ”

There were many people on the road, and Jiang Bai was very careful not to let Zhongli reveal his identity.

Zhongli raised his eyes to look at the rolling mountains, his expression with a bit of loneliness and melancholy that was difficult to distinguish.

"Sort of......

Jiang Bai tilted his head, and his intuition told him that there was a story in it.

"Master, is this Dragon King the Rock Elemental Dragon?"

Zhongli looked at him with some surprise, "Where did you hear this title?" ”

"I just went to find Lotia, the pure water elf, and he said that the strongest form of elemental life is the elemental dragon. Since Mondstadt has a Dvalin, I guess Liyue should have a Rock Elemental Dragon as well......"

"Yes, indeed."

Zhongli nodded, sighed, and told the story with his friends.

"He is an ancient elemental creature that lives beneath Liyue and has not seen the light of day for thousands of years.

"The Emperor of the Rock took him to the ground at his request, gave him eyes to see the world, and made a covenant with him in three chapters.

"The Emperor promised him to live in symbiosis with the people of the earth, but if one day he broke the order, he would be sealed into darkness again......"

"So he's sealed now?"

He's been in Liyue for so long, and he's never heard from this dragon king, so he must have been sealed.

Zhongli nodded slightly.

"Where is it sealed? Can you check it out? ”

"Nope."

Seeing Zhongli refusing so simply, Jiang Bai hugged his leg without saying a word, and the ghost cried wolf:

"Master, I want to see, I want to see! Take me to see it! Just take a look, just take a look! ”

This is a rock elemental dragon! The most powerful creature of the rock elementals! I really want to see what it looks like and how powerful it is!!

Zhongli: "......"

Even if he has thousands of years of cultivation, in this public, he is suddenly hugged by his thigh and crying wolf, he is really a little unbearable.

Feeling the gaze around him, he had an emotion called "shame" for the first time in his life.

This apprentice doesn't want it anymore......

"Huh?"

At a booth next to it, a young man who was picking a stone came over.

He was stunned for a moment, a little in a trance, and after paying the money, he subconsciously walked over with the stone.

Looking at Jiang Bai, who was sitting on the ground and hugging his thighs, he said with some hesitation:

"Hello...... Be... Did you run into any difficulties? ”

Jiang Bai stood up for a second, patting the dust on his body as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened, "It's nothing." ”

Zhongli sometimes had to admire the mentality and cheekiness of his disciple.

Such a free retraction is really unseen for thousands of years.

The young man scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's okay, I thought you were in some difficulty." ”

Zhongli looked at him and didn't speak.

Seeing that Zhongli had been looking at him, the young man subconsciously touched his face.

"What are you looking at me like that? Is there anything on my face? ”

"I just think the gentleman is very kind."

"Haha, really...... My name is Kun Jun, just call me Kun Jun. ”

"Contemptible Zhongli, this is my apprentice Jiang Bai."

Zhongli briefly introduced himself.

"It turns out that you are Mr. Zhongli, I have always heard that Mr. Zhongli of the Afterlife Hall is rich in five cars, and he is only eight buckets high, and I finally saw it today!" Kunjun was happy for no reason.

"Praise it. Brother Kun is extraordinary, and the stone in his hand seems ordinary, but it is a rare treasure. ”

"Oh? Mr. Zhongli, do you know ore too? ”

"I know a little bit about it."

"Are you some kind of ore appraiser?" Jiang Bai poked his head out and inserted into their conversation.

"It's not...... Actually, I forgot what I came to Liyue Harbor for. It seems like there's something very important, but I can't remember it. ”

"That's it......" Jiang Bai didn't think much about it, after all, it was normal that he couldn't think of something.

"I don't remember a lot of things, but I'm pretty comfortable with ore.

"For example, the ore in my hand is from the vicinity of the volcano, don't look good, but there is a crystal hidden under this layer of stone shell, and the crystal envelops a cloud of water at the moment of its formation, and the water is hidden at the bottom, like a full moon in the mountain, reflecting the sky, which is quite rare."

"Really? Just looking at the outer shell to see the inside? Jiang Bai didn't believe it.
