On the way, Xiao looked at the wooden box and asked, "When will Big Brother Bosacius regain consciousness?"
"This... depends on the effect of the healing. As for when he will wake up, I'm not sure... after all, this is the first time this item has been used."
Su Han also didn't know when the Yaksha Bosacius would wake up. But at least his soul had been protected.
Xiao nodded, understanding.
He was very much looking forward to the day Bosacius regained consciousness. How wonderful it would be for the brothers to reunite. Unknowingly, a smile appeared on his face.
At ten in the morning, Su Han and the others arrived at the Jade Chamber.
When everyone learned of the whole process, they all revealed expressions of surprise.
Ganyu looked at the wooden box and sighed. "So you rescued a Yaksha... that's wonderful. If we can restore his physical body, our Liyue will have another powerful warrior."
"Restoring a physical body is not that simple... however, being able to save a Yaksha... is already very good!" Ningguang said calmly.
He had sacrificed himself to save Liyue. Now that Su Han had saved the Yaksha, it could be considered a repayment of karma.
Not long after escorting the wooden box to the Jade Chamber, Xiao left. He didn't want the karmic debt on his body to harm Su Han and the others, so he returned to The Chasm.
However, before parting, he received a cute Transponder Snail.
"This is..."
"A Transponder Snail. When the Yaksha Bosacius regains consciousness, we will notify you immediately!" Su Han said with a smile.
With this communication device, finding Xiao would be simple. As for joining the group, it was temporarily impossible because the group was currently full. It would take some time before he could join.
However, Su Han felt that with the connection to Bosacius, inviting Xiao into the group shouldn't be difficult.
Hearing this, the Conqueror of Demons nodded and said, "Mm, I'll accept it... notify me when he wakes up."
Swish.
With a flicker, he had already broken through space and left.
Hu Tao, holding the cute Tanemon, said enviously, "It must be nice being an adeptus... to be able to disappear at will. If only I knew that kind of move."
"Tao-tao, you can do it too. As long as you learn the power of Senjutsu and comprehend it to a profound stage, you can achieve it..."
"Really?" Hu Tao couldn't believe that she could also break through space.
The nearby Rosalyne explained, "As long as one's strength reaches a certain stage, one can comprehend the power of space. But... whether you can do it like the Yaksha depends on your own fortune..."
The power of space was not rare. Once one's strength reached a certain level, one could naturally comprehend it. The premise was that your power could pierce through space. And Xiao could do just that.
Hu Tao nodded thoughtfully. "So that's how it is..."
Finally, the Locust Tree Soul-Box was placed deep within the grotto-heaven of the Jade Chamber, protected very strictly.
When Su Han came out, he found that Zhongli, who had been wandering outside, had actually appeared in the grotto-heaven.
"Long time no see... your strength has improved very quickly! I thank you for bringing Bosacius out this time..."
As soon as they met, Zhongli thanked him. And he also took out something. It was a blue crystal, emitting a strange energy.
Su Han took the crystal, felt the inexplicable power, and asked, "What is this?"
"A crystal I obtained by chance. It has the power to nourish the soul... with this thing, Bosacius's soul can recover a bit faster... Thank you very much this time."
In fact, he had also gone to The Chasm. However, Zhongli had been hiding outside and hadn't gone in. It wasn't until Xiao left that he appeared before Su Han.
Su Han smiled. "Don't say that... after all, I am also a part of Liyue. By the way, have the other Yakshas... completely died?"
"Mm. The power of karma and the Abyss caused them to lose their minds. Just like that General of Inazuma, their hearts were completely devoured..."
The General Zhongli spoke of was naturally Mikoshi Chiyo. She had killed a tiger-bodied, snake-tailed monster but was infected by its blood. In fact, the Yakshas under his command had suffered the same fate.
Su Han sighed. "It seems we can only wait for the future to find other treasures..."
"Mm, don't be anxious... you have done well enough. I originally thought it would take several years before you could help me. I didn't expect that in just two months, you would save a Yaksha. The progress is already very fast..."
Zhongli had experienced countless years, so he naturally didn't mind waiting.
The two chatted for a long time, until it was time for dinner. Only then did the conversation end.
"Su Han, Zhongli, time to eat! Today is my special food! Come quickly!"
Hearing the little chef's call, Su Han smiled at Zhongli. "Shall we eat together?"
"Mm, very well..."
The two of them went outside. Su Han found that today's food was actually Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). It seemed that in his world, it should be the Dragon Boat Festival by now?
However, this world didn't have such a festival. They still treated Zongzi as a snack.
"Su Han, come quick... today I made many kinds of fillings, guaranteed to surprise you..." the little chef said proudly.
Beside her, Rosalyne was already holding a Zongzi and eating it. Su Han glanced at it. It was actually fish-flavored shredded pork filling. What a weird way to make it.
"Want to try some? I really like this spicy Zongzi!"
Faced with her invitation, Su Han picked up a honey date filling one and shook his head. "Although I'm not a legendary 'Sweet Zongzi Faction' member, but... the chili series is too scary."
He had eaten salty Zongzi. He had also eaten sweet Zongzi. But what the hell was fish-flavored shredded pork?!
"Ah... it's shrimp filling Zongzi! I love it..." Keqing's exclamation came from the side.
The others also found their favorite flavors. Shenhe ate the same kind as Su Han. Ganyu ate one with Sweet Flower filling. Not only was it sweet, but it also had a unique flavor. However, she stopped after eating just two. It was said to be for maintaining her figure.
And Yelan chose a Zongzi marked "Explosive Spicy." Opening the leaves, a shocking red layer floated on top.
Mona said in shock, "What kind of filling is this? Why is it so terrifying..."
"Uh... let me think..." Xiangling took out the food list and smiled. "This is made with Jueyun Chilies and dried Fire Qilin meat. It's called the Volcano Eruption Zongzi!"
Mona felt the spiciness just hearing it, but... Yelan ate it in three bites and even showed a very enjoyable expression. Truly terrifying.
As for Zhongli, he only loved a kind of Wine-Scented Zongzi. No one knew how Xiangling made it. The wine flavor inside was rich. Coupled with the aroma of the bamboo leaves, it was very delicious. Even Beidou fell in love with this thing. However, Su Han was forbidden from eating this kind of Zongzi.
And Yae Miko only loved Fried Tofu Zongzi, which seemed to be specially made for her by Xiangling.
However, when she heard that Su Han had saved the Yaksha, the sly fox immediately became unhappy. After the meal, she dragged Su Han aside and asked, "Since you have such a treasure, why didn't you say so earlier... Did you forget about Miss Kazari?"
Looking at the angry Yae Miko, Su Han quickly comforted her. "Don't worry... the Thousand-Year Locust Tree Soul-Box can hold two souls. And... the Sacred Sakura Cleansing isn't over. Kazari won't disappear. When I go to Inazuma, I will naturally save her..."
That magical artifact had two independent spaces. Now one was nourishing the Yaksha Bosacius. Then the other could perfectly accommodate Kazari.
"That's more like it... however, I should go back this afternoon. There are still many things for me to do at the Grand Narukami Shrine... it's a pity you can't go to Inazuma. Otherwise, with the sea train, the country's economy could develop very quickly."
Yae Miko still couldn't stay for too long. Coming out to relax and collect some treasures was one thing, but she had to go back quickly.
Su Han smiled. "Bear with it a little longer. Wait until I can defeat her... or at least not lose when I go over."
"Mm, then I'll go buy some things first. It's not easy to come out once..."
With a flash of lightning, the sly fox disappeared. And on the street, in a deserted place, an elegant lady appeared. She held a flower umbrella, looking very elegant.
That afternoon, Baizhu came to visit with Qiqi. When the little zombie saw Hu Tao, her face instantly turned ugly.
"Bad person... stay... away from me..."
"Aiya, I just buried you a few times! Come on, Qiqi... here is some sticky rice Zongzi. Do you want a bite?"
"..."
Qiqi was so scared she turned and ran. Giving sticky rice to a zombie. You're really something.
However, in the end, Qiqi didn't leave because Xiangling prepared a bottle of coconut milk for her and let Gatomon accompany her. Only then did the little zombie calm down.
Baizhu couldn't help but chuckle at this scene. "I haven't seen Qiqi this lively in a long time. By the way... Mr. Su Han, did you ask me to come this time to accelerate the growth of some trees?"
"Mm. I recently obtained a batch of plants. I heard that Dendro Vision holders can accelerate their growth..."
Cola trees and other plants all needed to be cultivated. Without a talent like Baizhu, it would probably take a long time, and there was a possibility of the Cola trees withering.
Of course, besides that, there were many herbs that needed to be cultivated.
The seasons in the grotto-heaven could be changed. For example, the area where they rested was spring. And the place where these herbs were cultivated was in other Serenitea Pots. However, because of Madame Ping's power, they were linked together. In this way, cultivating things became simple. There was even an island space that contained some aquatic products from the One Piece world. However, these things couldn't be accelerated. They needed a little time to breed.
Baizhu smiled. "This is simple... cultivating plants is not a problem for me."
