Qi Yun looked at the energy pool and fell into deep thought. Without any subsidies, a mid-level qualified person would have to go through at least ten world quests to accumulate enough energy to upgrade his talents. This was really too slow.
In order to speed up the pace of development, the only way is to provide subsidies, so that some people can become stronger first, and then use the latter to drive the former, so as to achieve overall improvement. However, the list of people who need to become stronger first still needs careful consideration.
In addition, judging from the information sent back by the clone of Xianjian, there must be a guy who has reached at least the level of Ancient One behind the scenes causing trouble. A war is inevitable, and the energy reserves needed for the war must be reserved first.
"Ahh!" Qi Yun scratched his hair frantically, "Can't you do it later?"
At the same time, Qi Qiqi also completed Qi Yun's instructions. After packing one hundred units of energy, she threw it directly to Qi Yun (the clone), and then came back to continue working.
In the world of Fairy Sword, on the flying boat, Qi Yun touched the energy ball passed by Qi Qiqi, and the energy quickly injected into his body. Qi Yun smiled slightly, the feeling of being filled with energy was really great.
"Brother Louis, who was that just now?" Li Xiaoyao asked in a low voice. He saw Qi Qiqi's fleeting figure clearly.
"He's a friend of mine, and he's here to deliver something." Qi Yun explained, "Also, we've already reached Miaojiang, so let's get ready to walk. If we continue to act so arrogantly, I'm afraid Baiyue will start a fight with us first."
The flying boat landed on the outskirts of the town and three people jumped off it.
Qi Yun knocked on the flying boat, and while putting it away, he also changed the clothes of several people to make them more suitable for the people here.
Walking into the town, people are surprised to find that this small town in Miao area is very lively. People are coming and going on the streets, smiling and saying hello to each other, looking like they are living in peace and contentment. In terms of civilians, this place is much better than Suzhou City.
"Ling'er, is it my illusion? I always feel that this place is better than under the rule of the Witch King." Li Xiaoyao asked in a low voice.
"Yes, a little." Although Zhao Linger was reluctant to admit it, she could not deny the fact. They had only been wandering here for half an hour and had not received a single hostile look. The Miao area used to be very xenophobic.
Continuing forward, the three came to a place where many people were queuing in an orderly manner.
"You guys are from outside the town, right? It's useless for you to queue up. Why don't you go to the town hall? The threshold to join us is very low now." An old man came over and said to them.
"Hello, uncle. We are not queuing. We are just a little curious about what is going on here." Zhao Linger said very politely. In this era, older people will receive extra respect because most people cannot live that long.
"Haha, if you want to know, why don't you go and see for yourself? Seeing is believing, hearing is not." The old man said happily.
This old man is quite knowledgeable. Although it is just an ordinary idiom, there are not many literate people in Miaojiang, let alone people with some knowledge like him.
"Uncle, we're going to go and see it later, but won't you go and queue up?" Li Xiaoyao asked.
"No, no, I'm old now, and I won't fight with young people for these things. It's a waste. Besides, life is comfortable enough now. I never dreamed of such things before." The old man said and reminisced about the past.
Qi Yun and the others praised them for a few words and then continued to move to the front of the queue.
After walking for a while, they finally came to the end of the line, where there was a small room that looked a bit like a pharmacy counter.
Qi Yun was a little curious. Are these people queuing up to buy medicine
The man in the front stretched out his hand and placed it on the counter. The person behind the counter took out a small insect and placed it on the man's hand. The insect bit the man lightly, and then a drop of blood condensed on its tail and fell into the glass bottle below.
"They are using human blood to feed the Gu!" Li Xiaoyao's eyes widened, and he looked like he was about to rush forward to uphold justice.
Qi Yun grabbed the guy and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Look down. Have you ever seen a Gu-raising business so openly and honestly that has so many people lining up?"
Just as Qi Yun thought, the person at the counter placed the glass bottle on a wooden board covered with tiny grooves. Blood seeped out from the bottom of the glass bottle and flowed along the grooves into a box.
Then the person at the counter picked up the box and handed it to the man.
"Congratulations! You finally found a suitable Gu worm for the third time. Remember to take good care of it. Also, it is a carnivorous Gu worm, so be careful when raising it so that it does not hurt others!"
"I understand. Thank you, Master Gu Master." The man bowed and ran away with a happy face.
"Are they distributing poisonous insects???" Li Xiaoyao couldn't believe his eyes.
"It seems so, and judging by the people in the team, anyone of any age or gender can apply." Qi Yun's eyes sparkled, as if he saw another career line in the main god space.
Although the line was long, the people at the counter were very efficient, and the line was mostly gone in just one morning. Qi Yun and his team observed and found that at least fifty poisonous insects were distributed to the townspeople that morning.
After the distribution was finished, Qi Yun took the lead and walked up, "Hello, Gu Master. We are outsiders. Can we buy you a drink? We want to know more about this Gu worm."
The Gu Master looked up, and Qi Yun discovered that this was still a very young girl.
"Well... ok, but please wait a moment, I need to place them first." said the Gu Master.
I waited for an hour, and after an hour, the Gu Master closed the shop door and walked out.
"Okay, it's done. We can go for a drink now. I know a great place." The Gu Master clapped his hands and said, looking very sunny, just like an ordinary little girl of this age.
Li Xiaoyao pulled Qi Yun and said, "Do you really want to go with her? Will it be dangerous? Besides, aren't we here to find Baiyue?"
"Don't worry, I'm here. Besides, Baiyue won't run away." Qi Yun said and ran to the side of the Gu Master again.
Li Xiaoyao held Zhao Linger's hand and sighed. Brother Louis was good in every way except that he was a little too eccentric. The longer they got along with him, the more obvious this feeling became. He was just like a little child.
"Hello, Miss Gu Master, my name is Louis, may I ask your last name?" Qi Yun asked beside the person.
"You're from Central Plains, right? No need to be polite when you come to our place. Just add me, Aliang." Aliang patted Qi Yun generously and said.
"Then I won't be polite. Aliang, I see you distributing poisonous insects there. Where are your poisonous insects? Can I see them?" Qi Yun asked with curiosity.
Aliang pointed at her hair.
Qi Yun looked over and saw a small black bug lying in the thick long hair, shaking with Ah Liang's steps. It was impossible to see it without careful observation.
"Its name is Pangpang. It's tired after a whole day and is taking a rest. Isn't it cute?" Aliang said with a smile.
"Yes, a little bit, chubby." Qi Yun said, his eyes following Pangpang up and down.
This fat creature doesn't have overly long hair and no sharp mouthparts. It is quiet and looks a bit like a kitten that has been shrunk countless times. It is indeed quite cute, but Qi Yun estimates that most outsiders would not be able to appreciate it.
