Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 410 Cloud Mist Golden Elixir (5k)

The second floor of Yanshang Tea Room is rather strange. Its stairs are not inside the tea room, but on the outside side of the tea room.
So Wang Daoyi left the Yanshang teahouse first, and then went up to the second floor by groping for the side stairs.

Sure enough, just as the spy dressed as a gambler said, Uncle Tian was drinking tea here, or in other words, admiring the surrounding scenery.

"Oh, so it's you, why do you have time to see me, a bad old man?"

Although Uncle Tian's health has deteriorated, his hearing is still good. He heard a little movement of Wang Daoyi going upstairs. He turned his head and saw that it was Wang Daoyi. The vigilance in his eyes immediately dissipated and he smiled.

As soon as Wang Dao heard Uncle Tian's words, he smiled, walked to the tea table and sat down,

"If you are all bad old men, then Liyue probably won't be able to find a few old men with high morals and high prestige."

Wang Dao praised Uncle Tian from the side.

Uncle Tian smiled and shook his head: "You, when we met at the Hall of Rebirth, I knew that you were eloquent. I didn't expect that now, I, an old bone, would bother you to come and visit me. What a fate. "

Uncle Tian was a little bit embarrassed, when he and Wang Daoyi first met, Wang Daoyi was still an immature boy, and he was also full of energy, thinking about Liyue's big and small affairs.

But now,
Wang Daoyi is still young and strong, even if he is so strong that Qixing still pays great attention to him.

But Uncle Tian himself is so old that he has to entrust others with choosing an heir for him.

"Fate and time are the most elusive things in this world. They fool us, but we have no way to resist." Wang Daoyi also shook his head with a smile, seemingly saying something reasonable.

Uncle Tian smiled, and did not continue this so-called topic of fate and time.
He reached out to pick up the teacup and poured Wang Dao a cup of tea.
"Try it, this is the good tea that Yelan got from Ning Guang. If the old man is not sick, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to drink this good tea."

"Ha, Uncle Tian was joking. If you want, the tea merchants in Qiaoying Village will probably smash the door of your room."

As Qixing's behind-the-scenes think tank, once Tianshuxing expressed his special interest in something, someone would always send it to him.

Even though there are not many people who know the identity of Uncle Tian, ​​most of the few people are powerful people,
If these people have the opportunity to bribe, or get close to Tianshu Xing, they will never give up.

"Heh, what they sent is the filth of the world, how can it compare with this pot of tea from Yelan."

Uncle Tian sneered, obviously looking down on those people who follow others.

Uncle Tian can understand their behavior and do things for the greater good, which is completely normal.

But breaking the rules and provoking regulations for the sake of profit is bad and stupid.

During his tenure, he was bribed many times,

However, today's uncle is still Tianshu star, and most of those who bribed him have disappeared in Liyue's shopping mall.

The more secretive the position, the more attention must be paid to the rules.

"Ha, let's not talk about this, you kid, you are not here to talk to me about these trivial things."

Uncle Tian interrupted their discussion on bribery and being bribed, looked at Wang Daoyi with interest and asked.

Uncle Tian knew Wang Daoyi's identity, but he didn't know much. He could only confirm that Wang Daoyi had a close relationship with Dijun.

So when Wang Daoyi came to look for him, he couldn't help thinking of some other things just like Ning Guang.

"Ha, you have insight, I do have something to ask of you." Wang Daoyi smiled, and then continued, "You entrusted Ye Lan to help you choose an heir, but have you ever made a choice in your heart?"

Hearing Wang Daoyi's question, Uncle Tian couldn't help raising his eyebrows,

Uncle Tian is not surprised that Wang Daoyi knew about the selection of Tianshu Star. Wang Daoyi has so many friends in Liyue, and most of them are in high positions. He should know some secret information.
However, what makes Uncle Tian curious is why Wang Daoyi intervened in the selection of Tianshu Star. Although Wang Daoyi has not done anything yet, in Uncle Tian’s view, Wang Daoyi told himself about the selection of Tianshu Star. It is already interfering with the assessment.

Therefore, based on the above reasons, Uncle Tian did not answer Wang Daoyi's question, but instead asked: "I'm curious, is the existence behind you, do you want to intervene in the selection of Tianshu Star?"

Perhaps because he felt that he didn't have a long time to live, Uncle Tian's question was not as obtrusive as Ning Guang's, but directly questioned Wang Daoyi.

Wang Dao quickly shook his head: "Of course not, this is my own decision, and behind my back."

Wang Daoyi still didn't say the last words,
He originally wanted to say that there was no one behind him, but after thinking about Zhongli's support for him and Istaru's plan spanning thousands of years, Wang Daoyi felt that it was better for him to keep a low profile.

Uncle Tian could also care about the last words Wang Daoyi swallowed, or he noticed it, but he didn't say anything.

"Forget it, since you have found me, you must have dealt with that girl Ningguang." Uncle Tian suddenly restrained his guard, shook his head and sighed a few times.

"To tell you the truth, before I fell ill, I actually made a decision to let Zhiyi take my place." Uncle Tian revealed a trace of regret in his tone.

There is a trace of clarity in Wang Dao's eyes,
Sure enough, Uncle Tian had actually already decided on an heir, but something happened that made Uncle Tian temporarily change his decision.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi asked curiously: "Then, why did you change your decision?"

Uncle Tian was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Oh~ that kid Zhiyi was born in poverty, but he is willing to make progress. I met him when I was fishing before, and he didn't know my identity at the time, so we I got along as a fishing friend for a while, he helped me handle the fish, and I taught him various knowledge."

"Over time, this half-teacher, half-friend relationship has been maintained."

"Later, after Zhiyi got the news that he had been selected as a candidate, something went wrong with him."

"Although it still looks enthusiastic, but... fake, fake, fake, I can tell it's fake at a glance."

"He doesn't want to laugh, but because of Tianshu Xing's position, he is forcing himself to laugh."

"At that time, I advised him that although Tianshu Xing is noble, he is also a person hiding behind the scenes. If he really doesn't want to make such a fake smile, he can give up that fake smile and treat others with sincerity."

"It may be that my persuasion had an effect. Zhiyi disappeared for a few days. According to him, he went to the mountains alone to meditate for a few days, and the effect was very good."

"Later, he really made great progress in dealing with people, and his reputation among everyone has also improved."

Uncle Tian babbled on, Wang Dao listened carefully, without impatience at all.

In the first half of Uncle Tian's narration, Zhiyi is simply the most suitable successor,
He is young and vigorous,
He corrects mistakes when he knows them, and he has a strong learning ability.

He and Uncle Tian are half-teacher and half-friend, and he is the easiest person to take over Uncle Tian's burden.

However, stories often have twists and turns.

Next, the turning point that belonged to Zhiyi came.

"Later, other candidates were gradually selected according to the process."

"Ming Bo has served the General Affairs Department for many years and is quite prestigious among the many employees of the General Affairs Department."

"In Liyue's business world, Qian Wei is also considered a wonderful flower. The appearance of these two people has put a lot of pressure on Zhiyi, and he has started to feel anxious again."

"However, with the experience from last time, Zhiyi told me that he will go to the mountains again to meditate and calm his mind."

"I don't know if the mountains are really that helpful for meditation. After Zhiyi came back this time, he was more 'perfect'. No matter what he could do, he could handle everything in an orderly manner, and his logic in speaking was more meticulous. It’s like a master master who has invaded this way for decades.”

"Furthermore, among the people of Liyue, the favor towards Zhiyi is getting better day by day, and many good things about Zhiyi appear for no reason."

"Heh, Zhiyi and I have known each other for a long time, he can be said to be my half-disciple, what story does he have, can I not know?"

"So, I concluded that there must be a pusher behind these things, so I entrusted Ye Lan with the review matters. Ye Lan is best at this kind of investigation of information."

"So no matter whether Zhiyi was deceived or cooperated with an unknown force, he is no longer suitable to be a Tianshu star."

Being deceived by outsiders during the assessment period of Tianshu star, naturally there is no qualification to take the position of Tianshu star.

Another possibility is that Zhiyi was corrupted and made a deal with an unknown enemy.

If this is the case, it means that Zhiyi is useless.

"Cough, cough, cough." As he said that, Uncle Tian seemed to feel a little sorry for the child Zhiyi, and coughed violently.

Wang Daoyi hurriedly stretched out his hand, and a pill the size of a pigeon egg was sent into Uncle Tian's mouth by Wang Daoyi.

Then with the other hand, he picked up the teapot on the table, and brought the spout to Uncle Tian's mouth,
"Gudong, Gudong~"

Swallowing a few mouthfuls of tea, he took the elixir of Hunyuan into Uncle Tian's stomach.

Feeling the slight warmth coming from his stomach, Uncle Tian was a little shocked,
Since he fell ill, doctors from the Department of General Affairs have come to know how many times. No one has ever made him feel so comfortable.

Even Bai Shu can only use bitter soup to keep his body from deteriorating.

As for Wang Daoyi, just a casual pill stopped his condition from deteriorating, and he even felt a slight improvement.

It's just unbelievable,

Uncle Tian sighed slightly in his heart, lamenting that the gap between immortals really belonged to two completely different worlds.

"How do you feel?" Wang Dao hurriedly asked as soon as he saw the pain on Uncle Tian's face faded.

Although in Wang Daoyi's perception, the lesion in Uncle Tian's body has shrunk back and he dare not do it again, he still has to listen to the patient's own feelings.

Uncle Tian smiled: "It's much better. After taking that elixir, I feel relaxed, and I don't have the uncomfortable feeling of holding my breath anymore."

Although what Uncle Tian said seemed to be good news, Wang Daoyi frowned.

With a hint of puzzlement in his eyes,
"How could it be?" Wang Daoyi looked at Uncle Tian and murmured, "It shouldn't be."

Uncle Tian was confused by Wang Daoyi's reaction, why?My body recovers, but it shouldn't be?

"What's wrong, is there something wrong with me?" Uncle Tian couldn't hold back, and asked Wang Daoyi.

Hearing Uncle Tian's question, Wang Dao came back to his senses, and quickly shook his head: "No, you are fine, the golden elixir you took just now has completely suppressed the disease in your body."

"I'm just wondering. The benefits of this golden pill shouldn't be so simple."

"Huh?" Uncle Tian's eyes lit up, and he asked hesitantly, "Is this elixir very precious?"

"Precious?" Wang Daoyi laughed, and then explained, "If you count it in money, then this elixir can be regarded as priceless."

"But if you simply calculate the material and working hours of this elixir, it's only 10,000+ mora."

"This is the elixir that I made by imitating the most precious treasure of the fairy family, Yunwu Golden Pill. I took it out of chaos and pure spirituality. Normally, if you eat that golden elixir, you don't talk about rejuvenation, but At least it should go away secretly."

"But now, you are just feeling better, and the lesion is still entrenched in your body. It's amazing."

After listening to Wang Dao's long passages, Uncle Tian understood some things, but some of them became more confused.

Why is the lesion entrenched in one's body, is this a miracle?

Seeing Uncle Tian's confusion, Wang Daoyi smiled, with the friendly look typical of science popularizers on his face.

"In this world, unless [a higher level of power] intervenes, any creature should follow its ecological environment to reproduce and evolve."

"Any creature here actually includes the lesion in your body. Although it is confirmed whether the lesion is a living body, it is consciously defending against the power of Jindan."

"This is not what a normal lesion should have."

"That's why I said something interesting."

After listening to Wang Daoyi's explanation, Uncle Tian finally understood,

Then Uncle Tian raised his pale eyebrows, showing an expression like an old urchin: "Hey, you fed me this golden elixir, I have no money to give it to you."

"Huh? Hahahahahaha, no need, no need, this thing is a test product, you don't need to give me money." Seeing Uncle Tian start joking, Wang Daoyi followed his joke and made a joke.

So, the old and the young laughed loudly on the second floor of the teahouse on the rock.

a long time,

Wang Daoyi restrained his smile, then looked at Uncle Tian, ​​and said, "Although the golden elixir has suppressed the lesion in your body, but this lesion is so strange, I'm afraid it's not a normal disease. You'd better turn around and ask Baishu to give it to you." Check it out as a whole, it’s better to completely eradicate the lesion.”

Uncle Tian also nodded: "I know, when the selection is over, I will go to Bubulu."

Seeing that Uncle Tian had his own considerations, Wang Daoyi didn't say much.

The two chatted for a while, and the people in the tea room below brought up some melon and fruit snacks.
It was probably prepared by the gambler dressed as a secret agent of the General Affairs Department.

I have to say that the spies trained by Ye Lan are still very good.

Wang Daoyi felt a little pity, he really wanted to lure all these people to the desert, he didn't need to be a secret agent, but an ordinary manager was enough.

In Wang Daoyi's regret, he chatted with Uncle Tian until the afternoon,

until sunset,

Three tired figures came up from downstairs.

Seeing Ying and Paimeng follow Yelan upstairs with tired faces,
Wang Daoyi smiled and waved his hands: "I haven't seen you for a day, why are you so sloppy?"

Glancing at Wang Daoyi, without saying a word, he walked to the tea table and sat down alone, poured tea for himself, and took a few sips.

"Next time, no matter what you say, I will not accept your commission again. Investigating information is not a human thing at all. I would rather face ten large tribes of Qiuqiu people than ask for information. gone."

On the other side, Paimon was already floating beside the table, holding a piece of pastry in each of his left and right hands, bowing left and right, and he didn't forget to complain: "That's right, not only tired, but also don't care about food, I've been hungry all day!"

"Oh, are you that tired? It's just collecting some common intelligence. The secret agents of the General Affairs Department live like this every day."

Ye Lan poured herself a cup of tea, then swung her right hand, sprinkled some red powder into the tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "I still don't agree with your habit of putting cloud pepper powder in your tea."

Ye Lan shrugged indifferently: "Then don't agree with it, it's just a personal habit, and it's not a big deal."

"Besides, you didn't come here to see me for tea, did you?"

Wang Dao curled his lips, and then took out the warrant of Ningguang,

"Yesterday, I heard Ying talk about the selection of Tianshu stars. I am more interested in one of them, so I hope to get information to share."

Ye Lan looked at the warrant in Wang Daoyi's hand, and confirmed that it was from Ningguang.
Then nodded: "Okay, then you can listen from the side."

[Next, Yelan and Ying shared the clues they collected today and organized them. 】

Wang Daoyi and Uncle Tian were listening, while secretly nodding,
Some of the things they guessed before, with Yelan and Ying's information, some evidence appeared.

A chill appeared in Wang Daoyi's eyes. Now that he had caught the tail, it would be much easier to catch people along the tail.

On the other hand, Uncle Tian looked a little disappointed. What they deduced originally was very unfavorable to Zhiyi, but now Yelan and Ying's information, except for no direct evidence, other supporting evidence began to point to Zhiyi.

The child he once regarded as his successor was a naked traitor.

After some twists and turns in my heart,

Uncle Tian's eyes gradually turned cold,
He looked at Yelan, with an inexplicable oppressive force on his body,
"Ye Lan, since the matter has been investigated to this point, the final ironclad evidence is also essential. Don't worry about my face, and don't worry about the consequences of failure in the selection. I will take care of everything. I need you to clear this up." The traitor was caught."

"If necessary. You can kill directly!"

At this moment, Wang Daoyi felt that this seemingly ordinary old man had an aura like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood lingering around him.

Sure enough, as Liyue Seven Stars, none of them are simple.
