Chapter 3 Anping's Quest for Immortals
After eating, Anping rejects Master Mao's offer to pay him for his hard work, after all, Xiangling had never taken any money from him when he was looking for a job in Liyue City.
After a few more brief exchanges with Master Mao, Anping left Wanmin Hall.
After leaving Wanmin Hall, Anping first went to Bubulu to bring a few pairs of medicine to Grandma Ruoxin, and heard Master Mao say that Grandma Ruoxin seemed to have a cough when Xiangling went to Qingcezhuang before.
Today, Mr. Bubu Lu Baizhu and Qiqi are not here, one goes to the doctor, and the other goes to collect medicine. Anping was not in good health when he was a child, and every time Grandma Ruoxin asked them to come all the way from Liyue City to help with the treatment.
Qiqi, this girl doesn't have a good memory, and it used to take a long time to remember his name every time she saw Anping, but even this surprised the skilled Mr. Baizhu. But what shocked An Ping the most was that more than ten years had passed, and time seemed to have left no traces on Qiqi's body, Qiqi had gone from being about the same height as him to now almost out of reach of his waist.
But even though Anping has changed so much, Qiqi can still recognize him.
It's just that every time I recall his name, it looks like it's hard work.
In the absence of Baizhu and Qiqi, Anping did not delay in Bubulu after buying the medicine, and returned to Liyue City to buy some toys for the children of Qingcezhuang, who he now brought up with him, just like his own brothers and sisters.
After shopping, Anping then wrote a letter to Grandma Ruoxin, informing her that the old man was all safe, and that there was no need to worry about it, and that he would be able to return to Qingcezhuang to visit in a few days.
After writing the letter, Anping packed the letter, the toys, medicinal herbs and Mora he bought, and went to the General Affairs Department to hand it over to the Millelith Army of his hometown, asking them to help bring it back to Qingcezhuang when they changed shifts.
It was only when it was piggybacked on by the Millelith Army of his fellow countrymen that Anping could put Mora in it so trustingly.
After these things were done, Anping lost most of his vacation today, and then he came to the Adventurers' Association.
But Anping didn't come to the Adventurers' Guild to take on a mission, he just came to Catherine to see if there was any new information about his commission.
This is a commission from the Adventurers' Association that Anping asked for half a year ago, and the content is also very simple, to help find an adventurer who had a relationship with Liyue's famous character Ruoxin forty years ago.
It wasn't until she came to Liyue that Anping learned that Grandma Ruoxin was also a famous Liyue character back then! Every time she sings, the audience will be full of friends and thunderous applause.
It's a pity that she later met an adventurer, and the two agreed to return to the countryside to spend the rest of their lives together.
As a result, the adventurer disappeared, and later Ruoxin died alone in Qingce Village, and then picked up Anping and raised him as his own.
After knowing the past of Grandma Ruoxin, Anping was furious at first, vowing to catch this old scumbag and knock out all the teeth that he didn't lose, and break a few old bones for him.
But as time passed, the obvious adventurer was not heard from, and An Ping's heart gradually sank, and perhaps the story came to a worse end.
After learning from Catherine that there was still no news of this adventurer, An Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Now it seems that perhaps no news is the best news.
Bidding farewell to Catherine, Anping saw that it was still early, so he left Liyue City and went to the foot of Tianheng Mountain to find a secluded place in the bamboo forest and sit cross-legged.
An Ping's purpose here is not to rest, but to cultivate.
Although Anping does not have a vision, he can use the power of the elements unexpectedly.
It all started when Anping was five years old, when the young Anping heard the story of the Liyue Immortals slaying demons from Uncle Qingce Zhuang, and since then he has been obsessed with cultivating immortals out of control.
But it was obvious that the immortal cultivation techniques that he had seen from the novel in his previous life were not helpful to his cultivation. So An Ping had the idea of apprenticeship and seeking immortals, so when he was six years old, An Ping secretly carried a bag of dry food on his back and embarked on the road of seeking immortals.
But just out of Qingce Village, Anping, who had no experience in surviving in the wild, got lost, during which he was chased by the hilichurls and blocked by the slime, and he walked to the Seven Heavens God Statue in Dihua Continent with a will to seek immortals.
Fortunately, he was found in time and sent back to Qingce Village, which was also the first time that Anping was severely reprimanded by Grandma Ruoxin, promising that he would never sneak out of Qingce Village alone in the future.
But it is also strange to say that since then, Anping can really feel the flow of the rock element, so Anping followed the content of the novel in his previous life, absorbed the rock element into his body in a similar way, compressed it to the dantian, and started his journey of cultivating immortals.
Now that ten years have passed, An Ping has already refined a "Golden Pill" in the dantian, but he does not have the ability to split mountains and open stones like the Jin Dan period in the novel, let alone the ability to fly to take the enemy's head thousands of miles away.
Of course, An Ping's efforts in the past ten years have not been useless, and now he is very proficient in using rock elements to transform into various forms to fight enemies.
He had heard that the Emperor of the Rock King had summoned mountain-like rock spears to fall from the sky to suppress the enemy, but now An Ping could summon several rock spears about the same size as himself to fall from the sky with all his might.
Anping felt that he might not be able to recreate the majesty of the Rock King and build a few strange mountains for Liyue before he died of old age.
However, Anping was able to use the power of the elements, he had never told anyone else, not even Grandma Ruoxin, nor had he ever shown it in front of others.
Anping, who has read a lot of novels, understands the truth that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Therefore, An Ping would rather be an ordinary sailor and go to the sea to earn a living than to be an adventurer and venture out in an unknown environment.
What's more, if you don't have a Vision but can use elemental power, if it spreads, I'm afraid it's easy to be regarded as a heretic, and Anping has seen only slimes who can use elemental power without a Vision of God...
Anping didn't want to be burned on the cross as a humanoid slime, nor did he want to be caught and threatened with handing over the exercises for cultivating elemental power.
In fact, even An Ping still hadn't figured out why he could feel the flow of elemental power when he woke up that day.
He can only be regarded as his sincerity that touched the immortals, and in his dreams he was touched by the immortals and taught the exercises. And he fell asleep under the statue of the rock god at the beginning, maybe he moved the old man of the rock king.
In the blink of an eye, the sun was about to set, and An Ping, who was enjoying the pleasure of being filled with rock elements, had no choice but to pause his cultivation and trot to Liyue Harbor.
