I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 180

"...Mr. Xia, to be honest, I actually need some more of that incense from yesterday. Its effects were so miraculous; it must have been made with elixirs, right?"

"Yes, making calming incense requires a variety of medicinal herbs, so it's not easy."

“Such a precious item, I naturally cannot ask for it for nothing, so I would like to exchange it for a spiritual medicine.”

"Oh?"

Xia Zhi was just thinking of finding an excuse to send some incense to Changsheng to help it continue to recover, but Bai Zhu took the initiative to bring it up first, which saved her a lot of trouble.

In this way, he could also obtain some medicinal herbs.

"I wonder if that's okay?"

"can."

"Then I'll come back tonight and bring the elixir with me."

"it is good."

Bai Zhu took his leave.

Xia Zhi escorted him to the door, then turned and glanced at the four girls playing mahjong.

Zhu Zi had just won a hand of gambling and had a bright smile on his face.

"Zhu Zi, you haven't taken your medicine yet."

"what?"

The smile on Zhu Zi's face vanished instantly.

"There are only two doses left. This course of treatment cannot be interrupted, otherwise the medicine will be less effective. You don't want to have to drink five more doses later, do you?"

"Boss! I'll be right there!"

Open in the afternoon.

Xia Zhi overheard some news about mahjong from several customers in the shop.

Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is really quick; they've already started selling their products after only a week.

In contrast, Liyue Publishing House seems to be doing poorly; more than twenty days have passed, and the novel he submitted still hasn't been printed.

It's the end of the month, and it really is.

But there's nothing we can do about it. The world's printing equipment and technology are too backward. It's already quite good that we can achieve this kind of publishing speed.

As evening approached, Xia Zhi was about to start cooking when Bai Shu arrived with two spiritual herbs, hoping to exchange them for five pieces of incense.

Xia Zhi generously gave Bai Zhu ten pieces of incense: "I don't usually use this incense anyway. Since Doctor Bai Zhu needs it, take more."

Bai Shu hesitated for a moment, but finally thanked him and accepted the incense, feeling that she owed Mr. Xia an even greater favor.

Xia Zhi saw Bai Shu off, put the two silver-quality spiritual herbs into his inventory, recycled them to get 20 points, and earned 10 points with tears in his eyes. He felt that Doctor Bai was really a good person and could be treated well.

Chapter 173 What Kind of Heavenly Justice?

"The world...forgets..."

As soon as Xia Zhi entered the dream world, he heard a distant and intermittent woman's voice.

When he first heard this voice in his dream, he felt a mix of nervousness and curiosity.

Now that he's heard it so many times, he actually finds it somewhat endearing.

Every time I hear her say this in my dreams, it feels strangely like being back home and hearing my wife say "Welcome home."

Ultimately, it's because the dream world is too illusory. When he walks alone in it, he subconsciously wants to find an anchor point.

In this world where everything changes every night, her unchanging voice is like a beacon of light, giving him a strange sense of security.

Ji-chan, who is repeating her studies tonight, is full of energy!

Xia Zhi glanced at the distant, hazy horizon, then walked forward and saw the three dream bubbles closest to him.

The larger cyan bubble must be Shen He's dream, and the two smaller red bubbles must be Zhu Zi and Diona's dream.

Xia Zhi glanced at the blue bubble again, her gaze slightly narrowed.

Blue represents fear, and red represents satisfaction.

Why did Shen He have another nightmare tonight?

Given her personality and experiences, if there's anything she might fear... it seems like only her childhood memories.

Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still did not choose to pry into her dream. Instead, she continued to walk forward and entered the dream of the passerby.

The scene before me blurred for a moment, then a devastating darkness descended, carrying with it an indescribable, immense malice.

Xia Zhi frowned, activated the [Help of Concealment] in its concealed state, and only then did the feeling of being stared at by a stranger with malice dissipate.

This is where?

Xia Zhi looked around; there wasn't a single ray of light, only bottomless darkness.

It's strange, who dreams of complete darkness?

Could the dream's owner be someone born blind? Was that malevolent force just now a nightmare monster he imagined?

It seems that the eyes are useless here.

Xia Zhi shook his head and activated the system's detection.

With the help of God's perspective, he was able to see that this place was a low-lying basin.

Xia Zhi took out the [Object Finder Compass] and determined a direction by following the pointer. Then, a pair of pure white and beautiful [Radiant Wings] unfolded on his back, and he flew rapidly in that direction.

Before long, he found four [Twilight Mushrooms]. In a typical dream, three mushrooms would be the limit, and the pointer on the [Item Finder] in his hand was still pointing in a new direction.

This means that this dream contains extraordinary materials. With such abundant resources, the dream's owner must not be an ordinary person, at the very least, their mental strength is extraordinary.

Xia Zhi unfurled the [Radiant Wings] and flew off in the next direction.

Halfway through the flight, he suddenly heard a distinctive sound of swords clashing in the wind.

It's highly likely that the dream was sent by the person who created it.

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, then changed the direction of his flight and flew toward the source of the sound.

When they got close enough, Xia Zhi descended from the sky and finally saw the other person from God's perspective.

And a gold progress bar on the other party: [0%].

It was him, the confident young man handling affairs within the Northern Bank.

Xia Zhi remembered the way the document related to the Seven Stars Conspiracy addressed him: "Executive Lord - [Young Master]".

He was currently fighting another mysterious swordsman.

The two men's longswords clashed repeatedly, producing a series of crisp sounds, and they both seemed to possess the special ability to see in the dark.

Xia Zhi stood aside and observed for a while. With his [Martial God] perspective, he could easily see the huge gap in strength between the two of them.

The young master's swordsmanship barely reached the level of a master, while the mysterious swordsman's swordsmanship seemed to be close to that of a grandmaster.

Rather than a battle, it was more like the mysterious swordsman was teaching the young master his signature swordsmanship.

Xia Zhi seemed to be deep in thought; his luck seemed to be working its magic again tonight.

The dream I'm having now is probably recreating the time when the young master was learning his skills.

What puzzled him was why the environment here was so dark and oppressive.

Could it be that it happened to be during the eternal night in the Kingdom of Winter?

However, since they've "coincidentally" run into each other, Xia Zhi will definitely have to take the golden treasure chest from the "Young Master".

However, as a villain, he didn't receive the same gentle treatment as Miss Yun Jin.

Xia Zhi bent down, placed his hand on the ground, and used the skill [Turning Stone into Gold].

Influenced by certain rules, rocks in dreams can also be regarded as rocks and manipulated by his skills.

After a while, a spear made of gold and rock appeared in his hand.

Xia Zhi lifted the spear, used it a few times, and felt it was a bit heavy. He then activated [Innate Divine Strength] again.

That's fine now.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then made a pure gold mask and put it on. He then canceled his stealth status, picked up a gleaming golden spear, and plunged directly into the battlefield between the two.

The young master was engrossed in the battle when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a golden light hurtling toward him. He instinctively tried to block it with his sword, but the next second, he felt an immense force strike him, sending him flying.

???

The young master got up from the ground and looked over in a daze. He saw that his master had also been shot away a long distance by that strange masked man. Then the masked man, carrying a long spear, rushed straight towards him menacingly.

???

After enduring a period of pure beatings, the young master suddenly realized that the masked man had disappeared. He gripped his sword and looked around, his expression somewhat bewildered.

What is this thing?!
