Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

Dihuazhou

From afar, I could see the towering tree, its trunk thick and sturdy, surrounded by clear water. A massive waterwheel slowly turned under the force of the current. The inn, built against the tree, seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

"Wow, what a huge tree! It's as big as the sacred cherry tree in our Inazuma."

Su Mo rolled his eyes: "What? Your Inazuma tree is only a few hundred years old. I estimate this tree is over a thousand years old."

"That's quite big, at least not older than me." She was really proud of this. In terms of age, this tree was not even a fraction of her age.

"Haha, that's right, you're a thousand-year-old old man, how can this thing compare to you?"

Su Mo didn't know where this guy got his sense of superiority from. After all, he was almost as old as several trees.

"Huh? Who are you calling old?"

Su Mo, a straight man, doesn't he know that a girl's age is the most taboo topic? How could he say that she is old?

Humph! I am still a beautiful girl in my youth.

Su Mo was speechless. Didn’t you say you were old?

……

Looking at the Rainbow Rain Spirit Grass in front of them, oh no, to be more precise, it should be the Rainbow Flower with a changed name, Su Mo and Shen He stared at each other in confusion.

"Oh my god, it's already halfway through summer, isn't this the time when the neon flowers bloom?"

Shen He shook his head slightly: "It seems so, we should be here too early."

The rainbow lily is an autumn flowering plant, and the current semi-hot summer is too early for the rainbow lily to bloom.

Su Mo was a little discouraged: "What should we do? Are we going back empty-handed?"

"It seems like this is the only way."

Su Mo shook his head: "No, no, it's a waste of time to come all this way and go back empty-handed." He looked at the various materials for making talisman paper in the medicine basket on his back. "Besides, even if we can wait, these can't wait."

The flowering season of the colorful flower is autumn, and there is still nearly a month away from autumn. For Su Mo, who is making talisman paper, this month is simply a waste.

"What are you going to do?"

Su Mo was a little helpless for a moment. He took out the ancient book and began to read it, trying to find some solutions in it.

But you won’t believe it, there really is one in here!

"Senior sister, look!" Su Mo handed the ancient book to Shen He.

Shen He was a little confused when he saw the content above: "Spirit-invoking talisman?"

Su Mo nodded affirmatively: "Yes! It's the Spirit-Inducing Talisman. Look, it's written here. The Spirit-Inducing Talisman has the function of promoting plant growth. It's not difficult to make, but it consumes a lot of immortal energy to use."

Shen He was a little worried when he heard this: "Do you have enough immortal power?"

Su Mo patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, this spirit-invoking talisman is a second-level talisman. Although it is simple to make, the most important thing is the support of immortal power. I dare not say anything else, but in this regard, my energy is sufficient. You just wait and see." After speaking, Su Mo gently placed the medicine basket behind him on the ground and began to prepare the materials needed to make the talisman.

Su Mo blew lightly on the tip of the pen, and the hard bristle seemed to become warm at this moment. Then he took out a piece of talisman paper, sat on the ground, and began to make it according to the ancient books.

A moment later

"Alright!" Su Mo stood up and handed the talisman to Shen He. After Shen He took it, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes: "It's quite well drawn."

Su Mo took the talisman and rolled his eyes: "Look at what you said, after all, I am also a true disciple."

"Okay, let me try next."

Su Mo pasted the spirit-invoking talisman on the root area of ​​the rainbow flower. The talisman began to emit a dazzling emerald green light. The light began to flow slowly on the talisman and flowed along the talisman paper into the depths of the rainbow flower's roots.

Looking at the grass seedlings gradually growing around him, Su Mo couldn't help but show joy on his face: "Senior Sister, look, it's a success!"

Shen He nodded.

Then the two of them looked expectantly at the clusters of colorful flowers among the green grass.

"Hmm?" Su Mo frowned slightly. "That's not right. Why is the grass growing so fast, but the colorful flowers aren't growing?"

Su Mo hurriedly took out the ancient book and began to compare it, trying to find where the mistake was made. However, after checking it for a while, Su Mo frowned even more tightly.

"This is all correct, why is it like this?" Su Mo said to himself, feeling very puzzled.

Just then, a voice came from behind them: "That's because you drew it wrong."

Su Mo and Shen He were both startled. They hadn't expected someone to approach so silently. Su Mo turned his head and saw a man standing behind them, arms folded, watching them with interest.

The man smiled slightly when he saw Su Mo coming over: "Boy, if I'm not mistaken, you are using the Spirit Invigorating Talisman."

Su Mo was slightly stunned. He was not surprised that this person could tell that it was the Soul-Invoking Talisman, but he was surprised at how this person could possibly know about the Soul-Invoking Talisman!

This is a secret that the immortals never pass on. How could an ordinary person like him know this?

Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn't help but take a closer look at the person in front of him. There was no fluctuation of immortal power in his body. At first glance, he was just an ordinary middle-aged uncle, nothing special about him.

But with the mentality of giving it a try, Su Mo still asked respectfully: "Sir, how do you know that I just used the Spirit-Invoking Talisman?"

When the man heard Su Mo's address, he waved his hands repeatedly: "Ah, I don't deserve the title of sir. I'm just a leisurely person who likes fishing. I like to walk around and see the world. As for the spirit-invoking talisman, I only learned about it by chance."

Su Mo couldn't help but shake his head and smile. The person in front of him was really interesting.

"Then I'll call you uncle. How do you address me, uncle?"

"Oh, you mean me? My name is Jiang Xue."

Jiang Xue? Sounds familiar.

"Uncle, you just said that my spirit-calling talisman was drawn incorrectly. What does that mean?" Su Mo asked, his eyes revealing a desire for knowledge.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue put away her cynical attitude and said solemnly, "Although the Spirit-Invigorating Talisman can promote plant growth, everything has its own characteristics. Although the Rainbow Flower grows from the soil and blooms on branches, it is generally of the water element. The Spirit-Invigorating Talisman you just used is of the grass element, so of course it can only promote the growth of weeds."

Hmm? Does this have attributes? Why don't I know about it, or did Master not teach me?

"But, the book doesn't say that. It only says that it can promote plant growth." Su Mo hurriedly opened the ancient book to confirm again.

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows: "Oh, really? Then take a look at what's written in the last appendix."

"The last appendix?" Su Mo hurriedly turned to the last few pages of the appendix and began to search one by one.

"Found it!" Su Mo exclaimed, and then began to recite slowly: "Although the Spirit-Inducing Talisman can promote plant growth, everything corresponds to a certain element, and the same is true for the Spirit-Inducing Talisman. Different types of plants require different types of Spirit-Inducing Talismans. They will be divided into specific categories below..."

"For water-attributed spirit-invoking talismans, greater attention should be paid to the flow of spiritual energy and the structural layout within the talisman. The spiritual energy of a water-attributed spirit-invoking talisman should be as gentle and continuous as a stream, capable of nourishing and penetrating. When drawing, the brushstrokes should be more delicate, and the lines should be more fluid..."

After reading it, Su Mo looked at the ancient book given by True Lord Xue Yue and showed a bitter smile on his face.

Why can’t important information be integrated together instead of having people search for it all over the place?

"How is it? Is there a specific record?" Jiang Xue asked.

Su Mo smiled lightly, with a hint of relief: "Indeed."

Jiang Xue nodded: "Young man, sometimes it's better to be more cautious."

Su Mo nodded in agreement and then asked the question that had been on his mind.

"Uncle, how do you know this?"

"Oh, you're talking about this. I've been wandering around Dihuazhou for many years. After a long time, I've seen so many people and things that I naturally know it." Jiang Xue said disapprovingly.

Haha, Su Mo’s eyes twitched slightly.

I don't believe you, this is a secret technique of the immortals, you said you can find it by just strolling around? Why don't you say that you drank with the Wind God next door and went shopping with the Rock King Emperor?

However, Su Mo did not continue to ask about this. After all, everyone has their own secrets.

Su Mo made some adjustments to the Spirit-Inducing Talisman according to the instructions in the book, and this time it finally worked, and the Neon Flower began to grow. However...

"Why is this rainbow flower growing so slowly?" Su Mo couldn't help but feel anxious as he looked at the rainbow flower that had only grown a few centimeters in half an hour. The weeds had grown so fast just now, why was the rainbow flower growing so slowly?

Jiang Xue took a look and replied, "Oh, this is because you have too little immortal power."

"Little? I've given most of my immortal power to the Soul-Invoking Talisman, okay?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. The existence of the Spirit-Inducing Talisman is to seize the fortune of heaven and earth and make plants grow quickly. This is no longer in line with the laws of nature, so of course we have to pay some price." Jiang Xue said helplessly.

Hearing this, Su Mo thought about it and realized that it was true. Allowing plants to grow at inappropriate times was indeed a reversal of the laws of nature. If there was no price to pay, wouldn't it be a mess?

"What should we do? Are we just going to sit here and watch?"

Jiang Xue looked at the sun above her head and suggested, "It's almost noon now, why don't we go eat first?"

"Eat?" Su Mo looked at Shen He, trying to ask her opinion.

Shen He said calmly: "I'll listen to you."

After getting Shen He's consent, Su Mo nodded and made a decision: "Okay, in that case, let's go eat."

Just as the three of them were about to leave for dinner, Su Mo suddenly called out, stopping Jiang Xue and Shen He: "Wait a moment."

Jiang Xue and Shen He were both a little confused. They looked at Su Mo in confusion, wondering why he suddenly stopped.

Then, Su Mo began to arrange talismans around the colorful flower in the puzzled eyes of the two.

After a moment, Su Mo stood up and dusted his hands: "Okay, now we don't have to worry about someone destroying it while we're away."

Then the three of them walked towards Wangshu Inn.
