The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

“The leaves are all shaking at different frequencies and with different amplitudes,” Lisa said calmly, uttering words that greatly shocked Lance Sank.

Lance Sanx's large eyes peered at the golden tree sapling, staring intently at its still trembling green leaves, as if trying to discern any difference between it and the previous one.

As a result, she didn't see anything.

“This time they’re scared,” Lisa said with a smile as she saw the golden tree sapling’s trunk bending and receding.

Then she looked at Yu Jin, her smile fading as she said to him with a serious expression, "The mountaintop is not a good place. The extreme cold of Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain most likely comes from the mountaintop."

“It seems we think the same thing.” Abedo looked at Lisa with admiration after hearing her words. The witch of the roses truly lived up to her name.

“The extreme cold of the Dragon Ridge Mountains comes from the interplay of two forces. One force is suppressed by the other, creating this extreme cold,” Abedo added.

"The intertwining of two forces?" Upon hearing this, Yu Jin stroked his chin, carefully sensing the situation, and found that it was indeed so.

He sensed a gentle breeze trying to enter the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. However, as soon as it entered the mountain, it was suppressed by another force, turning into a chaotic gale.

Wendy is so bad, I'll definitely make fun of him next time I see him.

“One should be the power of the Wind God, as for the other, I don’t yet know its source,” Lisa said, her brows furrowed in confusion.

The power of the Seven Gods is already at its peak. Who could be more powerful than the Seven Gods? Lisa's thoughts drifted to the sky, the place where those with the Eye of God would eventually ascend.

But she quickly stopped thinking. Everything on earth that had the thought of reaching towards the sky was erased.

Lisa didn't want to disappear without a trace.

"The Wind God? It seems I still have something to lack." Abedo suddenly understood. He only had two powers intertwined, but he didn't know whose they were.

“Read more miscellaneous books; there’s a lot of useful information in them,” Lisa nodded and suggested to Abedo.

The mythological books of Teyvat contain just as much information as specialized books.

“I will.” Abedo nodded. He was very skilled in alchemy, but his breadth of knowledge was not as great as Lisa’s.

"Looks like this snow mountain is quite lively." Yu Jin scratched his head, looking at the summit. Then his brow twitched, and he said with a smile:

"Let's make it even more lively!"

"You said Yuxia commissioned you to solve the problem of the solid ice in the snow mountain?" On the mountainside of Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, Yu Jin was talking to Ying beside him.

When Ying uttered the name "Yu Xia," a refined and serene figure appeared in Yu Jin's mind.

Yu Xia, a renowned veteran of the Adventurers' Guild, has spent years exploring the Dragonspine Mountains. Her ability to explore the Dragonspine Mountains for so long unscathed speaks volumes about her skill.

However, she also has a hidden identity: she is Serius's sister!

Anyway, Yu Jin was quite surprised when he heard the news. Because Serius looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, while Yu Xia looked to be at most thirty.

If asked, Yu Xia would always brush Yu Jin off with a mysterious "She just takes good care of herself."

Moreover, Yu Xia is not at all like her quiet and unassuming appearance. When Yu Jin gave her the gift, she almost dented Yu Jin's breastplate.

In short, she was a very peculiar woman.

"Yes, I just solved one." Ying nodded.

"And then the big white tree came back to life," Paimon said, shrugging beside Ying with a speechless expression.

Why do their adventures always seem to encounter some unexpected problems?

"Haha, Yuxia, looks like it's that old client again." Lisa chuckled softly when she saw Ying and Paimon's speechless expressions.

Yuxia had a lot of experience in health preservation, so Lisa had exchanged a few words with her.

“Old client? What’s going on?” Yu Jin recalled the list of clients he saw at Catherine’s place, and it seemed that Yu Xia’s name was not on it.

Moreover, given Yuxia's ability to single-handedly traverse the snow-capped mountains, if she can't solve a problem, it would probably be difficult for anyone else to solve it either.

"It was a few pieces of solid ice that she had found in the snow-capped mountains, which just happened to be blocking the road, so she thought of breaking them up."

"However, neither she nor anyone else could damage the solid ice in the slightest. Over time, Yuxia became entangled with the few pieces of ice inside."

"She makes everyone she meets try to bump into those broken pieces of ice; it's almost become a thorn in her side."

Thinking of how Yuxia, who had dominated her entire life, had actually been humiliated by a few blocks of ice, Lisa couldn't help but laugh.

However, those blocks of ice were indeed very solid; Lisa had tried them herself before. Her lightning hadn't left a single mark on them.

For this reason, Lisa even stayed in the snow-capped mountains for a few days to study the ice blocks carefully.

The only discovery was that the ice blocks were formed in ancient times; nothing else was found.

Since these ice cubes were really just very hard, Lisa didn't bother with them.

"But I didn't expect you to be so amazing, little cutie, to be able to shatter those ancient ice crystals. I really underestimated you." Lisa looked at Ying and Paimon, her tone unusually surprised.

Even she didn't have a good way to deal with those ice blocks, but unexpectedly Ying actually broke one of them. She's not to be underestimated.

Hearing Lisa's praise, Ying scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "Hehe, actually I'm not that good. It's all thanks to those red stones in the snow mountain that I was able to break through that solid ice."

"Red stones?" Lisa asked, puzzled. What red stones? Does Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain have any other special mineral deposits?

"This! This!" Just as Lisa was wondering, Paimon's voice came from afar, and beneath the white snow beneath her, a crimson hue was faintly visible.

"This is... the Crimson Stone?" Abedo walked up to Paimon and bent down to wipe away the snow. A blood-red stone, exuding an ominous aura, appeared before them.

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be a bit special too." Abedo looked at Ying, and now there was one more thing that piqued his curiosity.

"Hmm, I should be able to purify the poison in this stone, leaving only pure heat." Ying nodded, admitting that she was indeed somewhat special.

In fact, when Ying first shattered the Crimson Stone, she discovered that it was somewhat similar to Dvalin's poisonous blood.

Similarly, she can also evolve away the madness within the Crimson Stone, leaving only pure power.

"I see. It seems the power within this stone can neutralize the power of the ancient ice." Lisa said thoughtfully, gazing into the distance.

They were now close to the summit, from where they could see the endless green of Mondstadt and its gently rolling hills.

But the most conspicuous thing is the huge wreckage on the mountainside of the snow-capped mountain—the corpse of the dragon Durin.

Its flesh and blood had long since vanished, and the remaining white bones seemed to have become part of the snow-capped mountain. If the view were not wide enough, one might mistake the bones for protruding rock spikes from the mountainside.

"The power of the sky and the earth, Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, what a magical place," Lisa murmured, before continuing her ascent to the summit.

Whatever this land has been through, it's all in the past now. The important thing now is to plant the golden trees.

The group followed the snow-covered path, passed the seven statues, and crawled into a cave filled with rubble, where they were finally stopped by a thick wall.

"??? Who built this road!" Yu Jin touched the wall and found that it wasn't a wall at all, but the end of the cave.

This road is a dead end!

Originally, Yu Jin thought that the path stretched upwards and that he could reach the top of the mountain by following it, but he didn't expect it to break at the crucial moment!

"Thankfully, we're almost at the summit. And it's also shown us a new path." Abedo reached out, and snowflakes drifted down onto his hand.

He looked up and saw blinding white light streaming down from the opening above the cave, obscuring the view above.

That should be the summit of Longji Snow Mountain.

"Wow, that's pretty high." Yu Jin followed Abedo's gaze and looked up. Countless blue and white ice crystals stretched out from the cave walls, as if the temperature above had suddenly dropped.

"Come on, get ready!" Ember said, lifting Ying and Paimon up with one hand on each side.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"Wait a minute, senior, I can go up by myself!"

"Stop talking nonsense and fly high!"

With a burst of strength, Ember flung Ying and Paimon, who were tucked between his waist and the ground.

"Thud!" The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground came from above. Upon hearing this, Yu Jin clapped his hands and said to Abedo and Lisa, who were retreating in the distance, "See? I threw pretty accurately."

"Want to give it a try?" Yu Jin rubbed his hands together, revealing his true intentions.

"never mind."

"I have no interest in flying."

Lisa and Abedo resolutely shook their heads and refused.

"Hehe, refusing is useless." Ember's voice suddenly rang out from behind them, and then Lisa and Abedo found themselves being squeezed together.

"Take off!" After a strange shout, Lisa and Abedo also experienced the feeling of flying.

"Me! Me! Me!" Lance Sanx saw everyone fly away and immediately ran over impatiently.

"Me! Me! Me! Lance Sanx, take me flying!" Ember also raised his hands, just like Lance Sanx, and they ran towards each other.

"No way? Your Majesty, are you really that biased towards strangers?"

"I'm only asking you for help because we're good friends. I'm exhausted, please take me flying already."

As Yu Jin spoke, he lay down on the ground like a dead fish.

"Alright." Lance Sanks said nothing more, spread her dragon wings, and took off with Ember in her arms.

It looked like a lump of cured meat hanging in the air.

The white light from the cave entrance grew brighter as it went higher, and after a sudden burst of light, the embers finally flew out of the cave.

Cold, extreme cold. This was the first feeling Yu Jin had upon arriving at the summit of Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

The winds at the summit were fiercer than elsewhere. The gale whipped up the snow, shrouding the entire mountaintop in a hazy white mist.

Amidst the white mist, a stone pillar shimmering with indigo light stood out. The faint blue glow blended seamlessly with the background sky.

"It's so cold!" Paimon had just climbed out of the snow pit when he immediately felt a bone-chilling cold.

In this cold, she even forgot to care about the fact that Ember had thrown her out.

Paimon turned to look at the others and saw that they were also shivering. It seemed that the cold at the summit of Dragon Ridge was indeed intense.

Ying hunched over, exhaling a puff of pure white mist. She looked around, trying to see if there were any deep red stones on the mountaintop.
