Chapter 744: Lady Enters the Castle, God Has No Tomb, Herb Collector

Kujo Takayuki smiled slightly. He had just met General Raiden and, in accordance with the agreement with the Fatui, explained in detail the danger that the foreign man would pose to eternity.

General Lei Dian will surely take the advice given by the other party after he just disrupted the ceremony seriously.

No matter how strong the opponent is, so what?

The general will let him know what the power of heaven is.

Rebellion against the Eye Hunting Order! Humph! The Society's pursuit of this is irrelevant. I want you to know that the Eye Hunting Order and the war against the resistance will continue until the Kujo family is stabilized and then go to the next level.

Resist well and be our stepping stone!

"Hmm?" He raised his head and looked at the group of people who were walking arrogantly from the gate of the castle tower.

Leading the way was a tall, well-proportioned woman with long light blonde hair. Half of her face was covered with a black butterfly mask, revealing a pair of ethereal, indifferent purple eyes.

Wearing the cloak of the Fatui executive, he raised his right hand slightly and stepped onto the castle tower with his long legs.

The eighth lady of the Winter Diplomatic Corps and Fatui executive officer.

Kujo Takayuki looked slightly stunned. According to the plan, the Fatui's diplomatic delegation had not yet arrived to meet General Raiden.

He watched the group walk by, the lady at the head completely ignoring him.

"The third... Heart of God!" the lady murmured as she entered General Lei Dian's mansion.

The gate of the mansion was closed and no one knew about their conversation.

But an hour later, the samurai of the shogunate army in the castle tower could see Zhidong's executive officer walking out of General Raiden's residence with a grim look on his face.

"The Heart of God is not with me. I thought it was useless, so I disposed of it."

Thinking of Thor's perfunctory answer, the lady became furious.

"The Heart of God is useless, so I disposed of it, haha! Hahahahahaha..." Her eyes grew cold, "Give me Inazuma's battle reports for the past two days."

"I'll make you hand it over, Heart of God!"

The fools retreated quickly one by one.

The debt collector, the firefly wizard, the Fatui vanguard... and the Lady of the Hidden Mirror.

The Fatui soldiers scattered across Inazuma listened to the orders of the executive officer and carried out the established plan.

The sparkling water mirror captivates everyone, and the invisible illusion makes people fall into it willingly.

……

Jiang Yi and Ying flew over a small island, crossed the inland sea again, and arrived at an extremely huge island.

This island, the archipelago nearby, and a larger island to the west of this island are collectively called "Kaminozuka" in Inazuma.

"Kaminozuka" is the general name for many island place names, just like Inazuma calls the many islands where place names such as Konda Village, Shiraki no Ya, Inazuma Castle, Kagemukaiyama, and Chinshu no Mori are located, as well as the large islands that are like small land, "Narakamishima", and there are many small names within it.

After the Demon War, the entire Inazuma Islands are now the kingdom of General Raiden, but internally, "Narakamishima" is recognized as the territory of the shogunate army, and "Kami-no-zuka" means "the hill where the gods are not" in the legend.

Until now, it has been a disputed area between the shogunate and the Coral Palace.

Except for "Nakagami Island", the islands in Inazuma are actually not very suitable for growing crops because of the influence of various strange forces and the aura of evil gods, and they are not even suitable for living.

However, Shenwuzhong is located in a steep terrain with high cliffs, making it a place that military strategists must fight for.

On land, it can block attacks from the west; on the ocean, it can control the inland sea from several ports, attack by ship, and prevent the enemy from entering "Murakami Island".

There are two famous place names in "Kaminozuka", one is "Kujo Jinya" located on the first big island, and the other is "Tatari Sand" located on the west big island.

As the name suggests, "Kujo Jinya" is the place where the shogunate army controlled by the current lord and magistrate Kujo family is stationed in Kannazuka.

Legend has it that during the disaster that swept Teyvat hundreds of years ago, the famous mortal general Kujo Shigeyori, whom His Highness General Raiden relied on, built a formation city here in just one night to fight against the dark army and raise the flag of "Three Thunder Triple Ba".

Hundreds of years later, the descendants of the Kujo family also inherited the outstanding military engineering technology, expanding and reinforcing the formation house, turning it into an impregnable fortress.

Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng looked ahead, and as soon as they landed on the island, they saw a corner of the battle house on the high cliff.

"Don't you want to continue flying?" Ying asked. With Jiang Yi's invisibility magic, they were not afraid of being discovered in the air.

"Observe the Shogunate army, learn about the latest war situation, and collect the Inazuma-specific minerals and plants that appear along the road." Jiang Yi looked ahead and saw a large, crooked tree growing in the waters next to the beach.

The big tree has no leaves or flowers, but has a thick trunk with charred lightning patterns. It is rich in the power of lightning element, bringing continuous thunder.

The Thunder Sakura Tree, the sacred tree of Inazuma, is said to have the power to purify filth.

In Jiang Yi's perception, the thunder cherry tree in front of him was not very healthy and had some wounds.

A healthy thunbergia tree will bloom, but this one did not.

The wounds are probably caused by the war. The warring parties will not care what kind of sacred tree you are when they are angry.

"I'm going to go pick something." Jiang Yi looked at the location. He and Ying landed in the north of the Nine-Stripe Formation House. In order not to be seen, they continued to maintain the invisibility magic.

He ignored the purple lightning falling from the Thunder Cherry Tree and looked at the few blades of grass beside the tree.

Mingcao is purple like peacock feathers, with oval tips and a gradient of purple colors from the inner circle to the outer circle. In addition to the main leaves, there are small secondary leaves.

This is a plant that will faintly vibrate with the sound of thunder even on windless days. It is a unique plant species of Inazuma that lives and grows tenaciously in areas rich in thunder elements.

The huge purple main leaf can easily be mistaken for a petal, but it is actually just an extension of the leaf that protects the tiny, fragile flower.

The singing grass has a natural strong sense of lightning and is often used by the residents of Inazuma to predict thunderstorms.

Jiang Yi naturally put a piece of Ming grass into his mouth and closed his eyes to feel it.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to improve his strength, and he needs to taste everything to pick out things that can help improve his strength.

If it really doesn't work.

He was ready to give "alchemy" a try.

Use Teyvat's unique ores and plants with elemental energy to extract essence and refine mineral or herbal pills.

See if you can create a power close to the devil's essence that can enhance your own golden marrow.

To make elixirs, one must first know the medicinal properties of the materials and their effects on oneself.

"Some things can be used to enhance the power of the holder of the Eye of God. My level is too high and I eat too little, so the effect is not obvious." Jiang Yi chewed the Ming grass. The plant juice flowed down his throat, slightly enhancing the power of the lightning element and the perception of the lightning element in his body.

"The combination of pills is important, so it is estimated that at least three or more materials will catalyze each other."

"Elemental essence is the food of elemental creatures. The influence of the elements of the snow mountain veins can strengthen the hill people. The elements become pills, which are extremely poisonous to ordinary people, but they are delicacies to the holders of the Eye of God who have magical organs. However, they control a single element and can only eat medicinal herbs with specific properties."

"Then the Teyvat Dandao can definitely appear and serve the holder of the Eye of God."

"It's just that there are too few holders of the Eye of God, and no one trusts it, so there is no market, no demand, and no development."

"But under the theory of elemental enrichment, ordinary people can also gradually adapt to the elements and gain power, just like the Hillock people who control the elements."

The doctor's theory popped up in Jiang Yi's mind again.

He let out a huff and picked up a beetle from the thunder cherry tree.

The ghost beetle is a strange beetle that lives in areas rich in thunder elements.

There is a demonic look on its shell, but its character is very gentle and slow.

In the folk tale of Inazuma, it is said that when the gods were distributing territories to various animals on earth, the beetle, which hated disputes, first chose the land rich in thunder elements.

Over the long years, they evolved strange patterns to intimidate invaders, and horns that could emit electric currents to repel predators.

"Crackling."

Strands of electric current burst out from the ghost beetle, and the electric light flowed in Jiang Yi's hands.

The Thunder Cherry Tree has powerful lightning element energy, and its juice is a high-concentration essence. The ghost beetles living here are also exceptionally powerful among their kind. After sensing the terrifying malice of the predator, this creature, which the Inazuma residents describe as "wearing armor and having sharp horns, but being the least combative of all living things", fought back with all its might, releasing all the electricity and thunder in its body.

"Uh - this guy's true nature is revealed once he leaves Miss Kamisato Ayaka's side."

Paimeng, who was standing aside, watched Jiang Yi pulling weeds and catching insects, and it looked like he was going to take a bite of an insect that seemed to be crunchy and bursting. He immediately shrank back in disgust.

"It seems like it can be sold for money? Does the Adventurer's Association have such a commission?" Ying raised his hand and his eyes moved slightly.

The singing grass and the ghost beetle seemed to have transformed into golden Mora.

Jiang Yi held the insect in his hand, but ultimately did not eat it raw.

The immortal way values ​​life, so they will not easily harm people's lives. Medicine is used to save the world, and all things are used as medicine.

Although these insects have spirits, they cannot be considered intelligent life forms, so as long as they are not intentionally exterminated or killed wastefully, then it does not count as killing.

Otherwise, you don’t have to worry about anything. Plants also have life, pigs also have life, and they are smarter than insects. You don’t need to eat.

“The insects in general medicinal materials seem to be dried and ground into powder. This thing seems to have medicinal effect only after being processed.” Jiang Yi put away the ghost beetle. The pill formula has not been finished yet, so he will collect it for the time being.

He always remembered that his main purpose was to improve his strength, not to hang out with the resistance, so he was in no hurry to travel.

"Come, Ying, let me tell you about the names and folklore of these two things."

Jiang Yi looked at Ying with a smile.

It seems that everything about Inazuma's plants and animals is related to gods.

This ghost beetle exists, and the previous "Singing Grass" also exists. In folk legends, the "Singing Grass" was stolen from the imperial garden of General Raiden by the great monster "Gohyakuzo" of the Inazuma raccoon monster with the help of his demonic power, and was planted in the soil of the Inazuma Islands.

After the great monster Gohyukura disappeared, this story is still widely circulated among the people.

The three of them walked on the island, talking in low voices.

The herbalist, picking immortal herbs, telling stories, collecting immortal minerals, refining immortal pills...

The shogunate army at Kujo Jinya did not notice the uninvited guests on the island.

After going to the town magistrate's office that day, Kujo Sara returned to this residence at night and looked out the window.

There is a letter.

"Wanted, blond traveler, black traveler, white floater."

"Disrupting the Eye Hunting Order ceremony and offending the General..."
