Original God, the beginning continues Liyue martial arts

048 Salt Ruler

After hearing this, Shen Zhiyi hesitated for a moment.

He actually didn't want to get involved in the chaos in Teyvat. Unfortunately, now that he was living in Liyue, he had to give Zhongli some face.

What's more, based on Zhongli's current performance, many unknown changes will probably occur in Teyvat in the future.

Even for safety reasons, I need to become stronger.

Then came the problem.

Although Shen Zhiyi now possesses combat power comparable to that of some immortals, he can only be considered a lower-level immortal at best.

It is questionable whether one can reach the middle-level immortal, let alone the upper-level immortal and the more powerful demon god.

Indeed, it took only a little over a year to grow from an ordinary teenager to the immortal level. This speed is already very exaggerated.

But compared with what Zhongli was going to do next, Shen Zhiyi felt that he was not strong enough.

Since practicing according to the routine can no longer keep up with the changes in the world, we need to seek some external help.

Speaking of powerful tools...

Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up slightly.

He raised his arm and pointed to the ground, or more precisely, the salt in the ground where the three of them were standing.

"If I remember correctly, Heulia's salt ruler is now sealed in a nearby ruin, right?"

"...You are quite good at picking." Zhongli did not expect that Shen Zhiyi would ask for the items of the Salt Demon.

But after thinking about it, he understood the boy's thoughts.

"The salt ruler is a manifestation of Heulia's authority. It makes sense to use it as your weapon of defense."

The function of the salt ruler in history is to form a thick layer of salt on the surface after being inserted into the ground.

It doesn't sound like it would be of much use.

But in fact, this is simply because the Salt Demon in history has always been avoiding fights and has never had a direct battle with others.

Salt ruler can be used as a ruler, and naturally, it can also be turned into a weapon.

If you insert it into the ground, it will generate salt. So, what changes will happen if you insert it into the enemy's body?

Zhongli is the lord of Liyue. In theory, everything in Liyue can be said to belong to him.

Among them, of course, are the relics left here by other demons during the Demon War.

"Heulia's territory was sealed by me in the past. It will take some time to lift it." Zhongli said this and disappeared on the spot.

The second half of his words remained in Shen Zhiyi's ears: "After taking out the salt ruler, I will let Gan Yu give it to you together with the appointment letter."

"Excuse me, my Lord." Shen Zhiyi bowed in the direction where Zhongli disappeared. When he raised his head, he looked at Xiao who was standing beside him: "I wonder if the Great Saint who conquers demons has any instructions for me?"

Xiao smiled and shook his head. Among the immortals, his job was to kill monsters. He didn't need to worry about other things.

but……

"If you have any questions about the Demon-Slaying Spear Technique, you can come to Wangshu Inn to find me."

……

On the way back, Shen Zhiyi began to think about the meaning of Zhongli's recent actions.

In the game before the time travel, the only time this Lord Emperor took action was by faking his death and abdicating.

Because of him, the whirlpool demon Osel, who had been sealed at the bottom of the sea for a long time, was released by the Fatui of Winter, and the whole of Liyue suffered a disaster of not so small a magnitude.

Liyue is Zhongli's territory. As long as he is still there, many problems can be easily solved.

but……

Judging from Zhongli's tone and attitude just now, he is preparing to take action against several other countries.

As for how to attack, and to what extent...

Shen Zhiyi didn't know.

He only understood one thing - if he didn't want to be affected by the tide of the times, the only way was to become stronger!

So, the next day after returning to Liyue Harbor, Shen Zhiyi left a note at the Adventurer's Association, and that afternoon, Noah Lawrence showed up at his doorstep.

"Do you have elemental oils?" asked the descendant of a sinner from Mond.

The continent of Teyvat is not a safe world.

Not to mention the monsters, just the treasure-stealing groups, lurking mobs and mercenary groups roaming around the countries are enough to make many people never leave their birthplace for their entire lives.

If you want to truly guarantee your own safety and rely on the army, there will always be a day when the other side will not take you into account. Only by being self-reliant can you face most dangers.

It’s just that there was no choice in the past, but now, with the emergence of meridian expansion methods, many common people have seen the opportunity to advance their social class.

This is the case for the common people, not to mention the merchants, dignitaries, and aristocratic families who already occupy the vast majority of Liyue's wealth.

No one wants to fall behind, and everyone wants to be one step ahead.

The end result is that the elemental essential oil that originally sold for 5000 Mora per bottle is now completely unavailable on the market.

Even if there is a store selling it, the price will be twelve or thirteen times higher.

Liyue, where a large amount of goods travel back and forth every day, is in this state, needless to say, the current situation in other countries is also like this.

Don't forget, before the meridian expansion method was announced, that 'bad' guy Zhongli asked Qixing to secretly purchase a lot of elemental essential oils and synthetic materials from other countries.

Although Noah was born into a noble family, in Mond, the surname Lawrence was not even as common as that of ordinary people.

No shop was willing to sell him elemental essential oils.

As for the products synthesized by the alchemists in the family, they need to focus on the main vein first.

After making a decision, Noah brought his branch's wealth to Liyue, intending to gather the materials needed for the Meridian Expansion Method.

It was also because of this that he was the first to accept the commission from Shen Zhiyi two days ago for a martial arts skill worth 500 million Mora.

The premium of elemental essential oils was already beyond his affordability.

Seeing Noah's anxious look, Shen Zhiyi could understand how this guy longed for elemental essential oils.

"100 bottles of elemental essential oils in exchange for your last martial art."

For an ordinary person to condense an elemental channel, it would take more than a month if it was fast, and about three or four months if it was slow.

Assuming one bottle of elemental essential oil is consumed every day, in the extreme case, it would only be around one hundred bottles.

But Noah, who was born into a branch of Lawrence, was a nobleman after all. He had been soaked in various medicinal soups to strengthen his body since he was a child. Although he was not at the level of a leader as evaluated within the Knights of Favonius, he could still serve as the captain of a team.

With 100 bottles of elemental essential oils, he can condense two elemental pathways!

After a quick calculation in his mind, Noah nodded and agreed. However, he also had a request, which was that the reward should be all Frost Calamity Essential Oil.

At least half.

When Shen Zhiyi was helping Liu Yun, he produced more than a hundred bottles of various essential oils. After his alchemy technique reached level 3, he could even stably produce three products in one synthesis.

Liu Yun had a good relationship with Shen Zhiyi, so he let him take one of the profits as a reward for his help.

With this accumulation, now, the inventory of elemental essential oils of various properties in Shen Zhiyi's cave is at least over a thousand bottles!

Just a hundred bottles, just a splash of water.

Seeing Shen Zhiyi taking out the reward from his sleeve, Noah narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was not someone who didn't know the value of things. He knew that there were immortals in Liyue and that there were magical artifacts outside the city that could store items.

What really concerned Noah was...

"You have a lot of elemental essential oils?" Noah couldn't help asking.

Shen Zhiyi glanced at the other party and said, "It depends on how many more martial arts you can teach me."

"..." Noah was silent for a while, then responded, "I can go back to Mond and copy down a copy of the martial arts atlas collected by the family and bring them all over."

"Okay." Shen Zhiyi nodded. "Still the current price, one martial arts skill for one hundred bottles of elemental essential oil."

After thinking for a moment, he added: "Of course, you can also give me the synthetic materials of elemental essential oils. One material can be exchanged for two bottles of corresponding elemental essential oils."

As soon as these words came out, Noah was shocked: "You also know alchemy?"

In his country, Mondstadt, alchemy has developed greatly in recent years due to the arrival of Albedo.

But even so, Mond only has three hundred alchemists on its payroll.

Including the support from various nobles, the total would be five hundred at most.

And now, an alchemist, and an alchemist of at least advanced level, appeared in front of him.

This made Noah a little unbelievable.

Fortunately, he reacted suddenly and realized that the person in front of him might be giving him the only chance to turn things around in his life.

“Okay…” Noah was about to say it was a deal, but he suddenly remembered that this was Liyue, so he stopped talking and said something that Liyue people often heard, “Those who break their promises will be punished by being eaten by rocks.”

……

Shortly after Noah left, Shen Zhiyi upgraded the West Wind Great Sword swordsmanship he had just learned to level 2.

【西风大剑剑术1级→2级，力量+0.2（36.8），体质+0.2（34.3），敏捷+0.2（38.3），精神+0.2（32.4），感知+0.1（33.1）。】

After thinking for a moment, he did not choose to continue to improve this martial art, but sat at the stone table and practiced the Guhua Sword in his mind.

The Guhua Sword is the martial art that Shen Zhiyi uses most proficiently and is also the most handy one.

When a battle occurs, he always uses Guhua Sword's moves as a transition.

It is also because of this that, compared to several other martial arts whose experience bars are only in the hundreds, Gu Huajian's current experience has already reached 1w+ without anyone noticing.

To upgrade, you will need 8 to 9 experience points.

Shen Zhiyi's previous daily practice habit was to practice Qi Yao Zhengong for 8 hours, get enough sleep for 6 hours, and use the remaining ten hours to do other things.

Either practicing martial arts or clearing out monsters.

There is nothing wrong with this schedule itself.

The elemental body tempering rounds were able to increase to the eighth round in just half a year because of the assistance of the Seven Stars True Art.

But now, things need to change.

For the next half month, Shen Zhiyi stopped clearing monsters, but stayed in Liyue Harbor and did not go anywhere.

I wake up at six o'clock every day and spend nearly an hour preparing food for the next day.

Around 7:30, the martial arts performance began.

Stop at 12:30 to have lunch and continue at 1:00 p.m.

At six o'clock in the evening, we had dinner, practiced martial arts until half past eleven, and then went to bed.

The sixth day after returning to Liyue Harbor.

The system prompts sounded in my ears:

[Guhua Sword·Breathing Technique Level 4→Level 5, Strength +0.8, Constitution +0.8, Agility +1.2, Perception +0.8. ]

Day 13:

【古华剑·呼吸法5级→6级，力量+1（38.6），体质+1（36.1），敏捷+1.5（41），感知+1（34.9）。】

After the Guhua Sword was upgraded to level 6, Shen Zhiyi hesitated for a while. In the end, he did not choose to continue practicing this martial art, but instead improved his Yunlai sword technique.

The sixteenth day after returning to Liyue.

The door of the courtyard where Shen Zhiyi was was knocked slowly.
