Chapter 118 Cuijueyan
Xin Yang and Ling Hua looked at each other for a moment before Ling Hua spoke first, "Ying, why did you rush over to ask us? Did something happen?"
"I'm sorry for making you worry. Actually, the Chen Ge Pot was made by Grandma Ping specifically to thank us, and in order to make it convenient for us to use, she also arranged for a little fairy to live in it. So, I really can't sell it." Ying lowered her head with some guilt.
Hearing this, Linghua quickly comforted her, "It's okay. Transactions should be based on the willingness of both parties. You don't need to apologize to us for this."
Ying nodded gratefully and continued, "However, if you really need a similar pot, I can ask Grandma Ping to see if she can make another one."
At this time, Xin Yang stepped forward and said with a smile, "Thank you very much. If we can get a pot like this, it will be very helpful to us."
Afterwards, Ying brought Xinyang and Linghua to find Grandma Ping and explained their purpose. Grandma Ping frowned slightly and said softly, "You came at a really bad time. After making their pot, we had enough materials left over for a smaller one. But just two days ago, I made a small gift for Yaoyao and used up all the remaining Cui Jue rock. And I heard from Yanfei that Cui Jue rock is no longer available on the market."
Hearing this, Ying couldn't help but scratch his head. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Cui Jue Rock? I remember you mentioned that Cui Jue Rock was carved out of the abyss of rock."
Grandma Ping nodded in agreement and asked, "Are you planning to...?"
A hint of determination flashed in Ying's eyes, and she answered resolutely, "Yes, we have decided to go to the Stratum Abyss to search for Emerald Jadeite ourselves! Please rest assured that if we can bring back some Emerald Jadeite, we hope you can help us complete the production."
Grandma Ping stared at Ying, as if weighing the pros and cons. Finally, she agreed, "Well, if you can find the Emerald Jade Rock and bring it back, I'll make another one for you. However, the Layered Abyss is steep and treacherous, so you must proceed with caution."
After leaving Liyue Harbor, Paimeng began to complain non-stop: "Oh my, what's going on?! In the end, we still have to run errands! This is so unfair!"
Linghua nudged Xinyang, signaling to try to appease Paimeng. Xinyang immediately understood and said to Paimeng with a smile, "Don't be angry, little Paimeng. Aren't you adventurers? Just consider this as accepting my commission. As long as you can successfully find Cuijue Rock, I will definitely give you a very generous reward! How about that, isn't it good?"
Upon hearing the phrase "generous reward," Paimon's eyes lit up instantly, and his original resentment vanished without a trace. Patting his chest, he said triumphantly, "Hey, if that's the case, then the reward isn't important! After all, I, the guide, have a heavy responsibility. I have to lead everyone to the right path!"
So, the group continued on their journey in this relaxed and joyful atmosphere, chatting and laughing along the way, and before they knew it, they arrived at the entrance of the Stratum Chasm. Standing in front of the huge valley, gazing at the deep and mysterious cave, Paimeng rubbed his hands excitedly, "This is the Stratum Chasm. According to Grandma Ping, to find Cuijue Rock, we need to go deep into the Stratum Chasm. We also need to go down through that cave over there."
Several people arrived at the center of the abyss. Standing there, looking at the deep and dark cave before them, a trace of fear inevitably surged in their hearts. Just as they were hesitant and ready to jump, they suddenly heard a shout from behind: "Hey! Why are you here?"
At the sound, several people turned to look and saw a petite girl in a red robe approaching quickly. This person was Yan Fei, Liyue Harbor's renowned legal expert. Paimon saw Yan Fei and immediately waved happily, greeting her. Yan Fei smiled and replied, "Oh, it's Paimon and Ying. And some new friends! Hello! I saw you standing at the cave entrance and came over to check it out. Are you going in to explore?"
"Yes, we received a commission to find Cui Jue Rock, and we didn't expect to meet you here." Ying replied.
"What a coincidence! I came here because I received a will from the Abyss. Let's go together." Yan Fei said with a smile.
So, under the guidance of Yan Fei, the group successfully entered the underground mining area of the Layered Abyss. Thanks to Yan Fei, a Liyue native, leading the way, they soon found the Cuijue Rock in a corner.
"Great, we finally found it!" Paimon shouted excitedly.
"Thank you, Yanfei. Without your help, it might take us more time to find it." Ying said gratefully.
"You're welcome, we are all friends. Besides, I just happened to know that there is Cui Jue Rock here." Yan Fei said modestly.
Adhering to the principle of giving and receiving, Xinyang and the others decided to assist Yanfei in completing her mission. However, just as Xinyang had chiseled the Cuijue Rock from the corner, something unexpected happened—the entire ground began to shake violently! Then, the rock beneath their feet instantly crumbled, and the unsuspecting group fell into the deep darkness below...
