I am a male god in Liyue

The more heinous the creature, the richer and dazzling the blood is.

The spiritual light fell on the crane, and then a dazzling golden light lit up.

Gold is the color of merit.

With such a bright light, no one knows how many good deeds this crane has done.

For such a spiritual beast, I had to worry too much.

Xia Zhi bent down and slowly slid down from the edge of the pit, arriving in front of the crane.

He didn't approach rashly, but kept a seemingly safe distance. The crane's beak looked very hard, and he was afraid of being pecked.

Xia Zhi looked at it, which was a little wary, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

The crane was obviously startled when he heard what he said, with a blank look in its glazed eyes.

"You probably don't understand, right? It doesn't matter, I'm here to help you."

Xia Zhi stood there, a soft white light shining on his hand.

First-level light spell: [Healing].

"Don't be afraid."

Xia Zhi moved slowly and stretched his hand towards it.

Probably because he sensed the rich life energy in the white light in his hand, or maybe the hidden effect of [Glory Wings] "The initial favorability of Tianxiang species is friendly" has also taken effect.

Xianhe lowered his head slightly towards him, and his posture became more relaxed.

I got it!

It feels a little cold to the touch, but the feather shafts are tough, the barbules are fine, soft and elastic, and it feels like you are touching a high-quality fabric.

The healing technique slowly integrated into the crane's body from Xia Zhi's palm through the feathers, and began to heal the serious injuries in its body.

The crane lowered its neck, half-closed its eyes, and couldn't help but let out a cheerful cry from its beak.

It sounds like it should feel pretty comfortable.

Xia Zhi glanced at it, continued to stroke its feathers, and treated it silently.

In his eyes, because he was in physical contact with it, the golden progress bar on it was moving slowly.

Progress [5%].

Progress [10%].

Progress [15%].

At this time, the crane, which was lying on the ground unable to move, suddenly stretched its neck and slowly stood up from the ground.

The legs are quite long and straight.

It seems that with the help of healing techniques, its injuries have recovered well. It is now able to stand up and will probably be able to fly soon.

At this thought, Xia Zhi silently stopped the healing technique in his hand.

It doesn't matter whether he cleans the treasure chest or not. The main reason is that he is currently at a low level and has limited mana, so his skills really can't be used for too long.

Feeling that the comfortable warmth in his body suddenly disappeared, Xianhe raised his head and glanced at Xia Zhi in confusion, meeting his dull gray eyes.

She couldn't help but be startled.

It turns out... is this a blind man?

Xia Zhi didn't hold back. He slowly took back his hand and said to it in an apologetic tone: "Sorry, I need to take a rest."

It probably couldn't understand the language of another world he spoke, but since it was a spiritual beast with intelligence, it should be able to understand itself.

Xia Zhi sat down on the spot, slowly closed his gray eyes, and rested his mind.

The crane in front of him looked at his face quietly without making a sound.

After resting for about an hour, Xia Zhi opened his eyes and whispered to it, "That's it."

He stood up from the ground, the white light of the healing technique lit up on his hand again, and he gently touched its body.

Progress【20%】

Progress【23%】

This time, Xia Zhi only lasted half the time before giving up. He said to it again in an apologetic and tired tone: "I'm sorry."

The crane nodded slightly towards him.

Xia Zhi sat down and rested quietly for another hour. Then he opened his eyes and said softly, "That's it."

Progress【25%】

Progress【27%】

This time, Xia Zhi persisted for a shorter time, and the look of exhaustion on his face was even worse.

"Feel sorry."

Xia Zhi sat down again and closed his eyes.

Xianhe looked at him quietly, and the expression in his glazed eyes became much softer.

She could feel his kindness and efforts.

An hour passed.

Just as she was waiting for Xia Zhi to open her eyes, she heard a soft breathing.

She looked carefully and found that his body was a little tilted when he was sitting, his head was hanging slightly, and he actually fell asleep in that sitting position.

It seemed that he was really exhausted.

Her eyes softened as she looked at him.

He is a good boy.

The night deepened and the dew began to grow heavier.

The wind is getting colder.

In Xia Zhi's sleep, his body trembled slightly unconsciously.

The crane in front of her looked at the thin and strange clothes on his body and was silent for a moment. Then she walked gently to his side, spread her wings, and hugged him in her warm down.

May you have sweet dreams.

At the same time, an invisible progress bar on her body was slowly rising.

Progress【30%】

Progress【40%】

……

Progress【100%】

"The progress bar has reached 100%, and you will be rewarded with a gold treasure chest."

Chapter 4 Are you testing the poison on me?

The next morning, the sky broke.

Xia Zhi woke up from his sleep and slowly opened his dull gray eyes.

The beautiful crane still stood in the same place, maintaining a graceful posture, raising its slender neck, looking at the rising sun in the east.

Sensing that he was awake, Xianhe lowered his head and looked at him with soft eyes.

Xia Zhi didn't look at her, but carefully arranged his clothes and gently smoothed the wrinkles on them.

When his fingers touched the shoulders of the clothes, he could still feel a little residual warmth on them.

It's the warmth left by the down of the crane in front of me.

It thought Xia Zhi didn't know that it protected him with its wings last night, but in fact Xia Zhi didn't sleep at first last night.

He watched the crane carefully move over and warm him with its own feathers.

This was something he expected.

Spiritual beasts are like gentlemen, they can be deceived.

Judging from the results of [Detect Evil] he used last night, it was obvious that this crane had done countless good deeds.

This kind of creature has a pure mind and is the most grateful person to repay kindness.

Since Xia Zhi had exhausted himself to the point of exhaustion in order to help it treat its injuries, it definitely couldn't bear to see him fall asleep in the cold night.

This kind of thing can't be said to be a calculation, it can only be said to be about getting what you need.

Xia Zhi raised his head and looked at the crane in front of him.

In his eyes, the original golden progress bar on the crane had disappeared, and there was an additional golden treasure box in the inventory.

The treasure chest is not opened.

It wasn't that Xia Zhi wanted to keep the treasure chest unopened, but that he was too tired last night.

He had walked for a whole day, and then continued to perform several healing spells on the crane. He was mentally and physically exhausted and could not support himself until the progress bar was finished.

In addition, for some reason, this crane actually carried a very pleasant fragrance, like orchid and musk deer, which made him feel very at ease.

Breathing this fragrance, he fell asleep without realizing it and didn't wake up until dawn.

However, it was precisely because of the presence of spiritual beasts like cranes that Xia Zhi slept deeply. If he really sensed danger approaching, he believed that it would wake him up immediately.

Xia Zhi looked at the gold treasure chest in the inventory and chose to open it.

An antique round stove appeared in front of him.

【Fiery Incense Burner】

Quality: Gold.

Type: Alchemical tools.

Features: Fusion.

Effect: The aggregate becomes incense, which can soothe people's hearts and communicate with ghosts and gods.

Hidden effect: The probability of becoming a fragrance increases by 50%, and the probability of perfect fragrance increases by 20%.

This is something that looks powerful, but is of no use to Xia Zhi now.

Xia Zhi took another look at the recycling price of the incense burner.

Blackjack.

Its recycling price is the same as that of [Virtue Template].

In addition, they are all gold-quality items, which may mean that all gold-quality items have the same recycling price.

The recycling price of [Glory Wings], which is diamond quality, is 10000 points.

There is just one platinum quality difference in the middle. Logically speaking, the recycling price of platinum quality items should be 1000 points.

Xia Zhi still has 20 points left. He has nothing to buy for the time being, so there is no need to rush to recycle this incense burner.

Xia Zhi arranged her clothes and opened the treasure box. In the eyes of the crane in front of her, it only took a moment. Then, she saw Xia Zhi stand up from the ground, smiled at her, and said in a language she could not understand: " I've rested, and I'll continue to help you with your treatment."

This is really strange. She is Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun who has lived for a thousand years. She has already known all the languages ​​​​in the Teyvat continent, but she can't understand what he said. Moreover, she has never seen this kind of behavior in Xia Zhi. She couldn't deconstruct the clothing style and the Taoist techniques he used to treat her. It seemed to be another brand-new cultivation system.

Could this kind-hearted young man not be from this continent?

Thoughts were quietly flowing in Xianhe's heart. With the early morning sunshine, she carefully looked at Xia Zhi's face. She had a very common human appearance. He was not particularly handsome, but his features made her feel very comfortable and she was willing to get close to him.

It's a pity that those eyes have lost their sparkle, otherwise his charm should be much improved.

Xia Zhi approached the crane, his hand lit up with the light of the healing technique, and he gently touched its body.

Its feathers are still so silky, and it feels like they are touching a piece of fine fabric.

Xia Zhi resisted the urge to smooth its fur and quietly treated it.

When the treatment time was almost the same as the time he gave it the first treatment last night, Xia Zhi stopped in time.

"You wait here, I'll go find some food."
