After testing his ability to control dust, Ryan looked back at Lime, who was following him.
He had originally intended for it to help him withstand the tribulation lightning, but this pill could not be gilded.
"You go have fun for a few days, and I'll come find you again in a few days."
Ryan stroked Lime's head, giving him instructions.
Lime seemed reluctant, but Slimes, being such monsters, don't even have vocal cords; besides the squelching sound they make when wiggling, they can't speak to ask him to stay.
And so, Ryan left the qiankun bag.
Lime could only lower his head dejectedly and chew on the weeds on the ground.
What he wanted to tell Ryan was that the electro crystals were all eaten!
..."...?"
As Ryan left the qiankun bag, he found himself in another blessed land with clear mountains and beautiful waters.
"What fragrant Finches!"
Then he discovered a large Finches in front of him, half of its body tucked into a celadon and white teacup.
"I'm not Finches! I am the Teapot Spirit, my name is Tubby."
Hearing Ryan's words, the large Finches immediately retorted.
"Teapot Spirit... Oh, it's the little guy who helps manage the outdoor blessed land. I used to have one too."
Ryan nodded in realization.
When Granny Ping gave him the qiankun bag, there was a little butler Teapot Spirit in the outdoor blessed land inside the qiankun bag.
"Hmm... that would be me. I remember your name is... Ryan, right?"
"Because you never lived in the blessed land, I had nothing to do. Later, Granny Ping arranged for me to go somewhere else."
Tubby explained to Ryan.
"I see. Then whose blessed land is this now?"
Ryan then nodded in understanding. He didn't know anything about the Teapot Spirit in the qiankun bag, so he wasn't very familiar with Tubby.
"Hmm, the owner of this blessed land is a blond Traveler."
Tubby didn't hide it and told Ryan the identity of the owner.
"...You little blondie, then where is my sun and moon cup?"
Hearing Tubby say that, Ryan immediately understood the whole story of why he had come here.
"Hmm... are you referring to this teacup? The Traveler just told me to put it away."
Tubby tilted his head, then produced Ryan's sun and moon cup.
The Serenitea Pot is managed by the Teapot Spirit. The Traveler only needs to put things into the Serenitea Pot and let him put them away. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to personally enter every time to put things in and take them out.
"Alright, now quickly let me out. I'm going to settle accounts with that little blondie."
Ryan took back his sun and moon cup, then immediately said to Tubby.
"Hmm..."
Tubby scratched his head, but still, according to Ryan's request, sent him out of the Serenitea Pot... "Osial, you and I are enemies, not friends, but the opposition of the old era is merely a memory of the old era."
"The relics of Havria, let them be devoured by you."
The salt goblet and salt ruler, possessing the God's clearance, were thrown by Morax, falling beneath Guyun Stone Forest.
"Little blondie! You actually stole my teacup... Huh? Rex Lapis?"
Just then, Ryan suddenly emerged from the Serenitea Pot in Lumine's hand. He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly saw Morax.
"...I, I thought that thing was left on the ground and no one wanted it."
Seeing Ryan emerge from her Serenitea Pot, and the teacup in his hand, Lumine immediately understood what was going on. She tugged at the scarf around her neck with one hand, speaking somewhat guiltily.
"You certainly can 'think'...".
With Morax nearby, Ryan couldn't say much. He retorted grumpily, then put away his sun and moon cup and moved closer to Morax.
"Rex Lapis, why have you and they come here? Is there something important?"
Ryan asked Morax curiously.
After all, this was Guyun Stone Forest, not the Yujing Terrace Teahouse. If Rex Lapis suddenly came here, it must be for something important, right?
"Just now, I threw the salt goblet and salt ruler, which possess the God's clearance of the God of Salt, into the sea..."
"!!!"
Morax was halfway through his sentence when Ryan immediately leaped from a high place, wanting to jump into the sea to retrieve the two artifacts.
But before he could jump down, Morax grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him back.
"Havria's relics have been devoured by Osial. There's no need to go down again."
Putting Ryan back in his original spot, Morax shook his head with his hands clasped behind his back.
"...Alright."
Ryan could only nod regretfully.
"Pfft..."
Lumine, who was beside him, couldn't help but let out a snicker when she saw Ryan being picked up and put back in his place.
"?"
"Little blondie, let's settle the score for you taking my teacup first!"
Hearing Lumine's snicker, Ryan could only turn back to settle accounts with her.
"Huh? Who would know it was yours when it was left by the roadside? Besides, I'm an Adventurer. Things in the wilderness like this are just like treasure chests. Once an Adventurer finds them, they belong to the Adventurer. Don't you agree, Paimon?"
"Exactly, exactly, nyah nyah nyah~"
Lumine said, running down the mountain with Paimon, who also made a face at Ryan.
With Morax nearby, Paimon wasn't as afraid of Ryan.
"..."
Watching Ryan chase Lumine and Paimon down the mountain, Morax chuckled and shook his head... Over the next few days, Ryan slowly adapted to his new abilities.
He roughly guessed one situation: although he didn't need to refine the Myriad Facets to Dust Pill after swallowing it, the acquired abilities were slowly strengthening.
Initially, Ryan's ability to control dust was not much better than that of a mortal who had just obtained a Geo Vision, but with slow adaptation, his abilities had further grown.
He returned to Jueyun Karst and tried it out. By using the friction generated by moving sand particles, he could easily strip the bark off the surface of an ordinary tree, much like a file.
However, his weathering ability made no progress. Ryan used it on the peeled tree for a while, but besides the leaves turning withered and yellow, even when Ryan was almost out of breath from exhaustion, it didn't suffer any real DMG.
"Hmm? Someone's here?"
Just as Ryan sat down to rest, his ears suddenly twitched, keenly catching the sound of footsteps.
Among the humans active in Jueyun Karst, only Shenhe, Qiqi, and Yaoyao walked, and they walked on two feet in human form.
However, Shenhe wore high heels, and both Qiqi and Yaoyao were relatively light, so their footsteps didn't match this sound at all.
'Is it another mortal seeking immortals...'
Ryan muttered to himself.
Just like last time when Ganyu couldn't handle the mortals seeking immortals, if Ryan encountered these people in human form in Jueyun Karst, he would easily be mistaken for an immortal and be prayed to for blessings.
So Ryan didn't really want to encounter these people.
Thinking of this, Ryan immediately transformed, turning back into a white fox and 鑽 into the bushes.
"There are evil spirits causing trouble in Jueyun Karst... This news seems too fake, doesn't it? But Xingqiu looked so confident, he shouldn't be lying to me, right...?"
The person who arrived was a young man with light blue hair, wearing a blue and white basic Taoist robe with a hood, and black fingerless gloves on both hands...
...
