Type: Consumable.
Features: None.
Effect: The special seed born from the Transformation Immortal Box has developed a certain spirituality.
Hidden effect: The fragrance emitted by the blooming flowers has a special effect of slowly restoring mana.
Recyclable: 1 points.
Interestingly, this time the effect has been changed to restore mana.
Xia Zhi then checked all the other flower seeds.
"Slowly restores physical strength," "prolongs life," "regenerates muscle and blood," "attracts demons and ghosts," "spreads fragrance for miles"...
Each flower has a unique and peculiar effect.
Of course, while these effects are interesting, they are not important.
Importantly, all of these flower seeds can be recycled.
Although their recycling price is very low, only 1 point.
But the manufacturing process is so simple and convenient.
Compared to refining incense, elixirs, talismans, and magical artifacts, seed transformation not only has no manufacturing cost but also does not require the consumption of spiritual energy. It can be mass-produced in one go, making it much more efficient.
Xia Zhi looked up and gazed through her glasses at the cherry trees in full bloom before her.
What kind of tree is this?
These are clearly points!
Although the two evolutions of the box cost him a lot of points, he will soon be able to recoup those points by using its variants.
Ah Ping is such a good person.
I borrowed this box from her, so I should repay her properly.
Playing only one piece seems insincere.
Xia Zhi thought for a moment.
Since A-Ping loves music so much, why not just give her a sheet music book?
With his mastery of music, creating a high-quality musical score would not be difficult for him; it would just take a little time and effort.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhi put away the box and turned to walk towards his room.
--
Sumeru is located outside the city walls of Huacheng.
Cole is inspecting roadside facilities.
Ying and Paimon are cleaning the seven-day idols.
Paimon, who could fly, helped wipe the upper body of the idol.
Her mouth never seemed to stay still; while she was working, she was chatting with Ying: "If you look closely, the deity sculpted in this statue is quite small."
Ying nodded and said, "The Grass God is probably of a rather petite stature..."
At that moment, a small, wondrous creature appeared next to the statue, but it immediately burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
???
Ying stared blankly: "..."
Paimon stared wide-eyed at the spot: "Wait a minute, what was that just now? Was it my imagination?"
Ying snapped out of her daze and said, "So you saw it too?"
Paimon nodded vigorously and said, "Yeah! It's one of those small, round things that looks a bit like vegetables... It really startled me just now. Could it be some kind of monster?"
Ying also looked at that spot and said, "I don't know... but it suddenly disappeared again."
Paimon flew over, inspected the area for a while, then flew back and shook his head at Ying, saying, "I didn't find anything unusual there."
Ying thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave it for now. Let's clean the statue and then ask Cole when we get down. She might know something."
Paimon still looked worried: "Okay."
After this incident, Paimon's work speed noticeably increased.
After wiping the statue of the grass god clean, Paimon immediately said, "The statue is clean now, let's go down and meet up with Cole!"
Ying glanced at her, speechless: "Do you have to be so timid?"
Paimon immediately retorted, "It's not cowardice, it's caution, okay!"
Ying was too lazy to say anything, so she simply said, "Okay, okay."
Let's go down the high rocks together.
Paimon flew over and shouted, "Coyle, we're back!"
Cole climbed down from the facility and said, "You must be tired from climbing up and down. Let's rest here for a while."
Paimon lowered his voice and asked, "Coley, have you seen any small, plant-like creatures around here?"
Ke Lai was slightly taken aback: "A living thing that looks like a plant? Hmm... If it were Master, he would definitely answer, 'Plants are also living things,' right?"
Ying and Paimon recounted to Cole what they had just seen.
Cole said thoughtfully, "It sounds like a kind of fantasy creature that kids often talk about."
Ying asked curiously, "A fantasy creature?"
Cole nodded: "Yes, it's said to be called Lanalo, and only children can see it. When children grow up, they won't be able to see it anymore, and they won't remember it either..."
Ying asked, "Really?"
Cole said, "I don't know too much, but when we get back, I can ask the kids in the village for you."
Ying said, "Then thank you very much!"
Cole smiled and said, "You're welcome. Are you hungry? I brought water and food."
Paimon immediately perked up: "Yay! What delicious food is it? Is it instant noodles?!"
Ying coughed and said, "Paimon, be a little more reserved..."
Paimon glanced at her and said matter-of-factly, "What does it matter? Cole isn't an outsider, she's our friend. Besides, the enthusiasm of the diners is the best compliment for a chef."
Cole nodded and said, "Yes, Paimon is right. There's no need to be formal among friends. I brought a kind of portable food that rangers often eat, called pocket biscuits. I don't know if it will suit your taste. Of course, I also brought instant noodles. If Paimon wants to eat them, he'll have to boil some water."
Ying said, "Boiling water is too much trouble, let's just forget about it and have some pocket bread."
Paimon felt a little disappointed; she would rather eat instant noodles than pocket bread.
That was truly the best food she had ever eaten.
However, she did not insist.
Everyone sat together and shared pocket bread.
Paimon asked curiously, "By the way, Cole, do you know what kind of god the Grass God is?"
"Lord Grass God..."
Cole paused, taken aback.
Are you asking about the "Great King of Charity Trees" or the "Little King of Auspicious Grasses"?
Ying asked, "【Great Kindness Tree King】? Could that be the name of the previous Grass God?"
Kolai nodded and said, "Yes. The Great Tree King was the first Grass Goddess of Sumeru. She created the rainforest and built sand-proof walls on the edge of the desert, allowing everyone to live in peace. In the eyes of the Sumeru people, she was a symbol of wisdom, benevolence, and omnipotence, but she disappeared in a disaster hundreds of years ago..."
At this point, a strange look appeared in Cole's eyes.
This is history known to everyone in Sumeru, and she once thought so too.
It wasn't until recently, when she saw that person with her own eyes in the Favonius Library in Mondstadt, that she realized history wasn't true...
Cole paused for a moment, then said, "I heard from my master that the sages later found the reborn Grass Goddess and brought her back to Sumeru. To celebrate the return of the deity, the sages called her 'Little Auspicious Grass King' and let her live in the Pure Goodness Palace."
Paimon asked, "Um, and then what?"
Kolai paused for a moment before saying, "Then, the sages discovered that the Little Lucky Grass King was actually a completely new god, ignorant and weak. She had neither the wisdom of the Great Tree King nor knew how to rule a country. The sages were greatly disappointed in her. For the next several hundred years, the Little Lucky Grass King never showed herself, and the Council of the Church almost never released any news about her."
"Eh?!"
Looking at them, Kolai said in a serious tone, "In Sumeru today, the Council of the Church is the true ruler. Although the people there believe in gods, many still worship the Great Tree King. Of course, this is just their claim; whether they truly still believe in the Great Tree King is something only they themselves know."
"!?"
Ying and Paimon felt as if they had suddenly stumbled upon some incredible gossip.
"But, Cole, how do you know all this?"
"This is my secret."
Cole shook his head and said.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you right now. But I'll tell you once you've recovered."
Ying nodded as she looked at Ke Lai's serious gaze.
