Scientific Travel

Ning Lingxing was easy to talk to and very smart. Knowing that Deng Yin had come because of the tea, she gave her a can of tea as well.

Deng Yin refused to accept it, not knowing the price, but Li Pingle had already explained to her that the tea was very good.

As everyone knows, "very good" equals "very expensive." Deng Yin got a good deal on the last can of tea, and now he refuses to take advantage of that again.

Ning Lingxing's expression was unusually serious. She usually has an oval face, which makes her look very kind, but now that she's serious, she actually looks a bit fierce.

"I've already eaten the cake. If you don't accept the tea leaves, do you expect me to spit them out and return them to you?"

“That’s not what I meant…” Deng Yin wasn’t one to be shy, so since the other party had said so, she had no choice but to accept it. “Fine… since you’ve said so, I can’t really make you give it back to me.”

You can accept things, but you can't accept them for free.

The price of a cake is far less than the price of this can of tea.

"By the way, could you help me identify what this is?"

In June, Deng Yin drew a stone that was only pretty but completely useless.

But this world is different; people in this world like flashy but useless things.

For example, all kinds of jewelry and jade pendants are made of stone.

Let's see if Ning Lingxing likes it first. If she does, it can be used to offset the cost of the tea.

The things provided by the system will never be wrong.

A hint of amazement flashed in Ning Lingxing's eyes as she looked at what Deng Yin was holding.

This piece of jade is entirely purple, translucent with a hint of warmth, like fine white jade, as if it had been soaked in a milky white liquid.

"I don't know either, but judging from the color, it's a good piece of jade."

"So do you like it?"

Deng Yin's purpose was too obvious; Ning Lingxing understood her intention with just one sentence.

"It's just a can of tea, you don't need to give me such an expensive piece of jade. I already said the cost of the tea and the cost of the cake are offset."

"To you, this is a piece of jade, but to me, it's just a stone." Deng Yin handed the stone to Ning Lingxing and said with a grin, "I don't know anything about jade or anything like that. I just thought it was pretty and thought maybe you would like it, so I tried to see if I could exchange it for a can of tea with you."

Deng Yin didn't understand, but Ning Lingxing did.

This jade of such high quality is definitely worth a fortune. She was willing to give Deng Yin tea not to exchange for anything, but simply because she felt guilty about what had happened before.

She would feel uneasy if she obtained such a valuable item while the person was unaware of its value.

"I can't accept it..."

Deng Yin ignored her words; the look of amazement in Ning Lingxing's eyes when she saw the stone was undeniable.

Since she likes it and Deng Yin has no use for it, why not make a deal?

Deng Yin picked up the can of tea on the table and left quickly. By the time she burst out the door, Ning Lingxing hadn't even finished speaking.

Many people were secretly watching Ning Lingxing's room. They saw the person who had just gone in rush out and run downstairs. A few kind-hearted people went to Ning Lingxing's room to see if a murder had occurred.

Well, it's not.

Not wanting to linger, Deng Yin hurriedly ran to the second floor and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, put the boat into the water.

Deng Yin climbed onto the boat, but didn't row; he just let the boat drift towards home.

It was a southwest wind, from the direction of the city gate.

Ning Lingxing opened the window and watched the small boat grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared from sight.

He gripped the jade in his hand tighter and tighter...

......

When Deng Yin got home, she saw Cui Wuji's ship again, and then she remembered that she hadn't asked Gou Dan what the next natural disaster would be.

It wouldn't be good to leave him hanging, so Deng Yin personally took him in this time.

Although it wasn't his first time here, Cui Wuji was still shocked.

Seeing Deng Yin's ability to control water with his own eyes and seeing the water around him getting further and further away from him felt different. Now, it was hailing from the sky, and although Cui Wuji didn't have an umbrella, he wasn't hit at all.

Chi Lin had already seen Cui Wuji arrive, but he ignored him and continued watching Wang Xi do her homework.

Yes, Chi Lin also had his own job: supervising Wang Xi's homework.

This idea came from Li Pingle. Since Wang Xi liked Chi Lin so much, he would have him supervise her every day to make her do the things she least wanted to do, thus solving the homework problem.

Unfortunately, because Chi Lin was too strict, Wang Xi's liking for him has decreased significantly during this period. Now, she doesn't give him a good look whenever she sees him, just like she does when she sees Gou Dan.

Oh dear, how could this happen?

Li Pingle looked at Wang Xi's increasingly dark face and thought regretfully.

The room where Cui Wuji had stayed before had been converted into a pharmacy by Deng Yin. Deng Yin led him to the second floor, where there were still empty rooms.

Now, not only the study, but all the rooms have light bulbs. Deng used copper wire to connect the bulbs in series, and each bulb has its own switch; simply press the switch and the bulb will light up.

This was the first time Cui Wuji had ever seen something so amazing, but he was only surprised at first glance and quickly calmed down.

It's normal. This is where the gods live, so it's not surprising that there are any things here.

There wasn't much tea, and the newly planted tea trees hadn't grown yet, but Deng Yin still brewed a pot of tea for Cui Wuji.

It's normal that Uncle Li didn't know about the "Chuansimi" tea, but Cui Wuji is the emperor, so he must have tasted all kinds of good tea, and maybe he could buy it too.

Cui Wuji drank the tea brewed by the immortal himself with utmost seriousness.

Amazing! By my own hands!

Will drinking this cup of tea increase my lifespan?

Before Cui Wuji could even swallow, Deng Yin asked, "How was it? Have you tried it?"

Ok?

Is this tea for ordinary people? It can't extend lifespan.

Even so, Cui Wuji savored it carefully, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "It seems familiar. Is this a silk floss drink?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Deng Yin's face was visibly happy. These teas had to be consumed sparingly to last until the tea trees matured, but if they could buy them from Cui Wuji, what was there to save?

Do you know where I can buy it?

Since the deity had spoken, Cui Wuji had to admit he knew, even if he didn't.

"I know. Since you like it, I'll bring you some next time I come."

"Okay, okay," Deng Yin said three times in a row, before remembering the purpose of Cui Wuji's visit. "By the way, you stay here and drink, I'll be right back."

Deng Yin moved quickly, but appeared slow in front of Cui Wuji.

There's no way around it; even immortals are like that—they have to remain calm and composed in the face of adversity.

Do as the locals do.

"The next natural disaster is a strong wind. Unlike the previous one, this one won't fly in a swirling motion, but will fly straight up, down, left, and right."
