"Young Ningguang! Did you drop this golden Gnosis, or this silver Gnosis, or this ordinary Gnosis that you were planning to sell?!"
Feng Yi asked Ningguang with a casual smile.
This time, luck was on their side; they had chosen the Gnosis that was temporarily given to Ningguang.
"I dropped the ordinary Gnosis!"
Ningguang rolled her eyes at Feng Yi when she heard his question. Considering how many times Feng Yi had instructed her earlier, she still answered his question truthfully.
What puzzled Ningguang was how Feng Yi knew about this, especially when she had already issued an order to blockade the information about the Gnosis.
Was it really true that there was no impenetrable wall in this world?
Ningguang's experience of obtaining a Gnosis was quite interesting compared to others.
One day, Ningguang obtained an ownerless Gnosis, which was said to be something left behind only after its user's death.
It contained no elemental power, nor any specific method to awaken it. It only had a very small chance of resonating with someone, and multiple people were not allowed to attempt it repeatedly.
When Ningguang first saw this empty shell, she immediately thought that a new business opportunity had presented itself.
If this empty shell were put up for auction, it would surely make the wealthy spend a fortune.
Even if it couldn't resonate, it would still be a superior item to adorn one's entrance.
'If there were multiple channels to acquire such empty shells, wouldn't that facilitate a long-term trade?'
Ningguang played with the empty shell of the Gnosis while writing an auction proposal.
Thinking of the abundant wealth, her smile grew brighter. It was at this moment that the empty shell began to emit a brilliant light.
As the Gnosis awakened, Ningguang's smile gradually froze.
A close attendant pushed open the door and, upon seeing the awakened Gnosis in Ningguang's hand, quickly congratulated her mistress on obtaining such a treasure.
Ningguang, however, looked displeased and said impatiently, "What's there to congratulate? It's already been opened, how can it be sold now?!"
After Ningguang became the Tianquan Star of the Liyue Qixing, built the Jade Chamber, and held great power in Liyue, she ordered the news to be suppressed to prevent outsiders from pointing fingers at her Gnosis.
However, what Ningguang could not have imagined was that Feng Yi had seen the origin of Ningguang's Gnosis in his previous life, and he did not learn it from the people of Liyue.
"Honest and kind people will be rewarded by the River God! This silver Gnosis and this golden Gnosis are both gifted to you!"
Feng Yi controlled three Gnoses to float in front of Ningguang, and then retracted his River God domain.
As expected of Ningguang, she was reliable!
[Gnosis: An external organ of magic recognized by the gods, used to guide elemental power.]
[Silver Gnosis: A creation of the Great River God, possessing miraculous functions. The guiding will of the gods embedded within the Gnosis has been erased, making it an absolutely 'pure' magic guiding device, with a 50% increase in magic transmission efficiency.]
[Golden Gnosis: A creation of the Great River God, possessing miraculous functions. The guiding will of the gods embedded within the Gnosis has been erased, making it an absolutely 'pure' magic guiding device, with a 100% increase in magic transmission efficiency.
Golden Trait: Automatically absorbs free elemental energy in the air and converts it into pure Geo elemental energy, storing it within the Golden Gnosis. It can be released entirely through active guidance.
Note: Storage capacity is unlimited.
Golden Trait: The holder can, with the help of the Golden Gnosis, mobilize some of the power of Geo elemental laws.
Note: Moving mountains and filling seas is but a thought away!]
Feng Yi understood all the related information about the three Gnoses through his River God's Eye.
After some consideration, Feng Yi decided to give both the golden and silver Gnoses to Ningguang.
The primary reason was that he did not pursue the Geo element path, so the Golden Gnosis would not provide him with much improvement.
With the enhancement of the golden and silver Gnoses, Ningguang's strength would undergo a sky-rocketing improvement. In the future, even without relying on Adepti, she would be able to defeat gods and demons and protect the peace of Liyue.
"Are these beautiful Gnoses all for me?"
Ningguang looked at the shining golden and silver Gnoses, and her mind instinctively turned to new business opportunities.
However, she immediately dismissed the thought, as these were gifts from Feng Yi!
Ningguang held them in her hands with great joy, declaring that she would not sell them for any amount of Mora!
"The golden and silver Gnoses are not just for show. Try to sense them and mobilize the elemental energy within you?"
Feng Yi kindly reminded her as he watched Ningguang cherish them.
"This...this..."
Ningguang was so excited that she couldn't speak. Even with her extensive knowledge, she had never seen such miraculous Gnoses.
Unlike other Gnoses that were exclusive to a specific person and could only be used by those recognized by the gods, these golden and silver Gnoses were like universal longswords that anyone could use.
If these un-gated Gnoses were to fall into the black market, they would make wealthy individuals without Gnoses go to extreme lengths, even to the point of madness, to acquire them.
Even more miraculously, Ningguang felt that the magic transmission efficiency of these golden and silver Gnoses was far superior to her own.
Among them, the Golden Gnosis had the highest transmission efficiency. With her ordinary Gnosis, Ningguang could summon at most ten Geo elemental shards at once, but with the Golden Gnosis, she could summon twenty Geo elemental shards at once. This increase in combat power was not insignificant.
In certain critical situations, an extra Geo elemental shard might be enough to turn the tide of battle, let alone ten more.
Ningguang shared her discoveries with Feng Yi in shock. Feng Yi, however, indicated that this was just the beginning.
She hadn't even experienced the most outrageous Golden Trait yet!
Under Feng Yi's guidance, Ningguang attempted to sense a distant mountain range through the Golden Gnosis and chose the smallest peak, intending to move it with her will.
The Golden Gnosis in Ningguang's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light. Feng Yi discovered through his River God's Eye that a profound and obscure pattern of light connected Ningguang and the Golden Gnosis.
Although this profound pattern only formed a thin luminous path, the pressure it contained was more terrifying than any power Feng Yi had ever witnessed. It seemed to be a power not of this world, and outsiders would die if they touched it.
On Ningguang's side, as she attempted to move the mountain peak, she was astonished to find that the mountain did indeed rise from the ground as if by magic according to her will. However, the mental exertion required for this was immense.
Even at her peak condition, she could only sustain it for half a minute at most.
As Ningguang's will moved, the mountain peak was lifted three feet from the ground and hovered in the air, causing an earthquake that was felt even in Liyue Harbor.
Zhongli, who was leisurely drinking tea in a teahouse, sensed this unusual tremor. His usually calm eyes instantly became serious and sharp.
