Chapter 222 Treasures of Qingxu Puli
"Qi" stared dumbfounded at the disheveled Xu Ning, the shock on his face turning into a bitter smile.
It was only then that "Qi" realized that Xu Ning was only slightly older than him, and they were both still young people with lively personalities.
It's just because of the difference in status that they always unconsciously rely on Xu Ning as if he were one of their parents' generation.
"We need to work harder, otherwise we'll fall further and further behind Brother Xu and the others."
Having made up his mind, "Qi" asked Xu Ning, "There are quite a few wound medicines in the Thousand Rock Army's position over there. Why don't we go and apply some wound medicine first, and then change our clothes?"
Xu Ning, supporting himself on his knees, waved his hand, took two deep breaths, and said, "No need, my cave is fully equipped, it's just these..."
Xu Ning pointed to the remaining bright grease on the ground, "...Find some people to put it in jars, don't waste a single bit, these might be very useful."
"Qi" picked up some of the "flag" from the ground with her fingers, feeling its soft and slippery texture.
"Are these what the monsters left behind after they died? What are these things? I think I've seen them near the Leyline Stone as well."
Xu Ning took two gulps of Qianfeng and felt the pain in his body lessen considerably, then breathed a sigh of relief and explained.
"It should be resin overflowing from the earth's veins. We should collect it first. Although we don't know what to do with it yet, we might be able to use it someday."
"Qi" nodded and turned to find someone to collect containers to hold the resin.
Xu Ning then placed the gourd on the spot and slipped inside.
As soon as I entered, I saw the little snake lying on the stone wall with an eraser, laughing so hard that it was almost uncontrollable, while muttering about its attribute panel in a broken voice.

Note: How many places on Xu Ning's body were singed by fire? I. Eleven places. II. Eleven places. Please select "Hahahahahaha!"
Xu Ning was in excruciating pain all over her body and had no desire to beat the child.
He gave the useless, cowardly god a friendly gesture, quickly tore off his clothes that were burned by the fire, and jumped directly into the Ganlin Pool.
"They really went too far."
Xu Ning felt the vibrant life force of the spring water nourishing his wounds, and the pain gradually turned into a comfortable numbness and itching. Only then did he lean comfortably against the bluestone and pick out his burnt hair bit by bit.
Xu Ning was well prepared for the number of monsters that might appear in the cyan mist.
Just as he told "Flag," it would take at least half a day to clear it away.
However, after entering, Xu Ning suddenly realized that the range of the fog was exactly within his wind control diameter.
The idea of using wind to gather monsters and then using fire and alcohol elements to quickly clear them out came to mind.
Of course, at that time I only thought that my idea was absolutely brilliant, and I completely forgot that I was a living person, standing in the fire pit just like the monsters.
If it weren't for a moment of quick thinking, like that young master who used wind and water to create a swaying wall of water around himself to shield himself, he would have been scalded to at least half-cooked, practically ready to be eaten.
Xu Ning glanced at Barbatos, the wind god, who was drunk and passed out next to the "immortal brew," and couldn't help but sneer.
"You've really made something of yourself! You're not lying next to Qianfeng anymore, you even dare to challenge the Immortal Brew. It's all my fault for always treating him like a good-for-nothing, that's why I'm destined to suffer this fire today."
"I should have immediately thought of this freeloader I was keeping in my cave, let him come out and shoot an arrow, and then I could have stood far away and set a fire, easily taking care of things. Now I'm in such a mess, I deserve it!"
Having figured this out, Xu Ning looked around and saw that Belial was still sitting on the floating island with his back to her, studying the ice. He immediately jumped out of the pool and ran upstairs to Ningguang's room to get a set of clothes and put them on.
After leaving the cave, Xu Ning stored the resin that everyone had collected inside. He instructed "Qi" that if a similar fog were to be discovered again, it must first guard the area as it had done today, and then quickly notify him. He stressed that it was crucial not to act rashly and cause unnecessary sacrifices.
Back at Qunyu Pavilion, Xu Ning naturally received a scolding from Ningguang.
Even when they slept together, Ningguang would tease them, saying they looked like they'd crawled into a coal stove, their bodies reeking of burnt firewood.
In the following days, Xu Ning used the excuse of recuperating from his injuries to stay in the Qunyu Pavilion, reading books and drinking wine with Ningguang, and occasionally listening to the latest news from Ye Lan.
The poison was provided to Zhiyi by Yusupov, the Winter Kingdom's ambassador to Liyue. The two parties agreed that once Zhiyi became Tian Shu as planned, Qingxupu would be developed according to the original plan.
Now, Yelan has managed to deliver this information, which could never be publicly announced, to Yusupov through clandestine channels.
Zhiyi took the initiative to extend a celebratory invitation to the ambassador, inviting him to drink to his heart's content at Qingxupu.
"The ambassador has completed his mission and can now collect his lunch."
After reading Ye Lan's intelligence report, Xu Ning casually remarked, "The only thing I don't quite understand is that Qingxupu has been collapsed for so many years, so why are the Fools suddenly so interested in this place?"
Ningguang listened and took a painting from her bookshelf.
"No one has set foot in Qingxupu for a long time. The main reason is that the output and the risk are completely disproportionate. Even the Adventurers' Guild rarely issues any commissions here now."
"but……"
Ningguang stared at one of the messages and said, "There is a stone tablet erected in Qingxupu. It seems to say that the Emperor left a treasure there, waiting for a destined person to discover it. Now, almost everyone who goes there is doing so for this legendary treasure."
"Oh?"
When the topic turned to the treasures left behind by the Emperor, Xu Ning perked up.
"If I were to take two jars of wine and go directly to the Emperor himself, would he be willing to tell me the names of the things left inside and how to obtain them?"
Ningguang chuckled and said, "Don't you think that's too disrespectful to the Emperor? After all, to the Emperor, something like this might just be an insignificant wisp of dust in his eyes."
Xu Ning thought for a moment, "That's true. But if I'm just going to discuss the past of the Rock King Emperor with Mr. Zhongli of the Hall of Rebirth, that shouldn't be considered disrespectful to the Emperor, right?"
Half a day later, Zhongli, holding a wine cup, said, "This should contain a weapon that the Emperor used back then."
