Chapter 255: Gifts
Zhang Yue stretched out his hand and pointed, and the two people on the opposite side couldn't move, as if they were frozen in the air.
"I really didn't mean anything, I just wanted to ask for directions. β
The elder sister asked in awe, "Are you a cultivator?"
"Yes. β
"I'm sorry, Master Cultivator, I thought you were a Vault Dweller. β
"Vault Dweller?"
"It's the people who have sinned, banished by the tribe into bubbles to fend for themselves, who are desperate for their lives, who are crazy about robbing our rubber boats. β
Zhang Yue nodded, just like a captain in the age of sail would exile a wrong-making crew member to a desert island.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Kasan, this is my sister Jiani, and we're here to collect the mushrooms and air. β
"My name is Zhang Yue, I am a cultivator, I got lost here because of some accidents, do you know where to find other cultivators?"
If you can find a place where the cultivators gather, you can inquire about ways to leave the earthly spiritual realm.
"I've heard that there are cultivators in Black Rock City, but I'm not sure. Kasan said.
"How do I get to Black Rock City?"
"I haven't been, but Elder Mannie of our tribe is said to have been there when he was young. β
"Alright, you take me to Elder Mannie, and in return, you can get something from me, I don't know what you need, it's better for you to make the terms yourself. β
"Really, can I order water? Just give me a bucket, if one bucket is too much, two bottles are fine. β
"Water? Are you sure you want this? How big are your bottles here?"
"It's that big. "Kassan's comparison is about the same as a regular mineral water bottle, about 500 milliliters each.
Zhang Yue laughed: "No problem, I'll give you two buckets." β
"Really?" Kasan was surprised and delighted, and the sister behind her couldn't help but poke her sister and whispered, "Kassan, did he really say two barrels, not two bottles?"
The little girl spoke quietly, but she forgot that the helmet-like glue would amplify her voice.
Kashan glanced at Zhang Yue in embarrassment and patted her sister's rubber helmet.
"Master Cultivator, can you give me a bucket of water first, so that I can expand a rubber boat and bring back more qi mushrooms and air. β
"No problem. β
Zhang Yue carried a lot of water in the empty lotus space, and even if there was not a drop of water, he could cast a spell to extract it or transform it.
Extraction is to condense the water from the surrounding environment, generally speaking, extraction can save mana, but Zhang Yue noticed that it was very dry and the water was extremely thin, so it was better to use spells directly to change it.
Zhang Yue stretched out his hand and pointed, and a bucket of water appeared out of thin air, floating towards Kashan.
The large wooden barrel filled with water was prepared on the Star Toad, and one bucket was about two hundred liters.
"So big!" exclaimed Kassan, the bucket she had in mind was one of those small wooden buckets for carrying water, the kind of ten or twenty liters.
"Master Cultivator, is all this water for me?" asked Kashan cautiously.
"Yes. β
"Thank you, sir, please wait in the glue boat, I'll be able to expand the section in a moment." β
Accompanying Kashan into the rubber boat, the hull of the boat was only about one and a half meters high, and Zhang Yue couldn't stand up straight inside, so he could only sit down as soon as possible.
After Kashan and Jiani entered the rubber boat and closed the door, they pressed a spot, and several tubes reached out to suck out the gummy helmets, limb cannulas, and air bag-like things on their backs, and as soon as they touched the tubes, the originally tough gum softened into something like fluid.
Zhang Yue's eyes lit up, Kashan looked about twenty years old, her sister Jiani was not yet ten years old, and both sisters had short shoulder-length hair with dark blonde hair.
The whole body was covered in gel coats, and both sisters were sweating.
Zhang Yue was about to remind them that the air outside was breathable, and they didn't need to wear gel coats, when they suddenly remembered the preciousness of water to them, and perhaps the main function of this layer of gel coats was to avoid the loss of moisture from breath and sweat into the dry air.
"I'm sorry Master Cultivator, this rubber boat of mine is too small. β
"It's okay, you can expand the rubber ship. Zhang Yue was curious about what Kashan was going to do.
Using a tube, Kashan sucked about twenty litres of water out of the barrel and poured it into a pool, then took out a packet of dried rubber powder and added it to the water.
The glue powder quickly dissolves and becomes a soft and sticky layer of gum, while the volume expands rapidly.
Kashan stirred as she pulled a tube from the cabin to suck the melted gum away.
Zhang Yue used his divine sense to find that the end of the rubber boat began to stretch and lengthen, and a new cabin appeared.
It turned out that the rubber ship was expanded in this way, Zhang Yue used his divine sense to probe the glue powder that had not yet been dissolved, and there was a faint aura reaction in it, which belonged to a low-level spiritual material, no wonder it could block the penetration of divine consciousness.
After expanding the ship, Kashan began to collect air mushrooms and air.
The air is easy to collect, and Kashan controls a section of the rubber ship's cabin to begin to shrink, and the air naturally flows into the compartment next to it, and then the passage is closed, the door opens and begins to expand again, and the air outside is sucked in, this process is repeated many times, and the air pressure in the rubber ship reaches the upper limit before Kashan stops.
Collecting gas mushrooms is tricky, requiring Kasan to go out and collect them with one of those long poles attached to a metal bucket. The main thing is that it is necessary to artificially distinguish the gas mushrooms that have passed the maturity period and begin to senescence before they can be collected, this kind of gas mushrooms can no longer decompose air from the soil, but will consume air, and must be cleaned up regularly.
Figuring out the characteristics of the qi mushrooms that need to be collected, Zhang Yue didn't let Kashan do it, it would take a day, he directly cast a spell, and one by one the eligible qi mushrooms automatically fell off the cave wall and flew into the cabin of the rubber ship.
Jiani clapped her hands and shouted, "Spell! Spell!"
Kasan watched the magical scene with envy.
It didn't take long for a cabin to fill up, and Kashan hurriedly said, "Master Cultivator, enough, enough, no matter how much rubber boat has the power to return home, it will not be enough. β
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Let's go back." β
"Yes, sir. β
The rubber boat burrowed headlong into the rock wall, re-excavated the dirt and began the return journey.
Jiani leaned over to Zhang Yue's side, Kashan was about to bend over and walk in the rubber boat, Jiani's height was just right, she opened a pair of big eyes, looking at Zhang Yue longingly.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yue asked with a smile.
"Cultivator, IβCan I learn spells?"
"Yes, but someone has to teach you. β
"Can you teach me? Jiani is very well-behaved and obedient. β
Kasan was a little farther away, staring nervously at this side, her fingers wrinkled together nervously.
"The Fa is not passed on lightly, if you want to practice, give me a gift, and if the gift is not good, I won't teach you. β
Zhang Yue looked at the doll-like Jiani and said with a smile.
It's impossible to take in apprentices, I'm just a passerby, but there's no problem in teaching a little girl a little skill.
"I have a gift!
Before Kasan could stop her, Jiani rushed to fetch a few things.
A small packet of powder the size of a finger, two small figures made of glue, and a few other bits and pieces.
"This is my good friend, he's Huck, she's Leia, and the two of them are good friends. Also, this powder is sweet, Master Cultivator, you can taste it. β
Jiani looked at Zhang Yue hopefully, and Kashan was almost fainting with her hand on her forehead.
