[Abedo: "As expected of Mr. Zhongli, the scenery here is just too beautiful. I often stop to paint and collect alchemical materials."]

[Yae no Miko: "So now you're lamenting every day that all sorts of exciting things are happening to the little guy, while you're still on your way."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "At least Abedo is on his way, while I'm still working late into the night on the resistance."]

[Ayaka Kamisato: "The magistrate hasn't had much to do lately, but according to Thomas, a batch of sweets recently arrived at the castle tower, apparently for the Shogun to enjoy."]

[Raiden Shin: "I hope General Raiden's teeth are alright."]

[Yae no Miko: "Can a demon god get cavities? It's actually a good thing she can eat sweets; at least she can learn about some changes in the outside world through them."]

Before he knew it, the building had tilted again, but Su Hao had gotten used to it.

After obtaining the concentrated resin from Zhongli, he looked at Xiao, whose eyes held a slightly strange expression, and held out his hand, saying, "Please have this."

Su Hao handed the concentrated resin to Xiao. Judging from Zhong Li's various observations, this stuff might be able to heal the "wear and tear" on Xiao's body.

Whether human or god, as long as one is alive, one will inevitably suffer the force of wear and tear.

Xiao's body had also suffered wear and tear, and now he was resigned to the fact that if he were to die, then so be it.

If we survive, then we must do everything in our power to protect Liyue and fight for the lights of every home.

Throughout the various storylines, it's clear that Xiao is always fighting for his own death, or rather... he's searching for an opportunity to sacrifice himself to save others.

The longest-living Yaksha is also the one who has undergone the most trials and tribulations and suffered the most.

Su Hao also wanted to try whether the concentrated resin could remove or temporarily suppress the lingering resentment of the demon god.

Because concentrated resin can resist wear and tear, and wear and tear is a rather peculiar term, referring to loss of memory, forgetting important things, and being irritable and explosive.

In a sense, the karmic burden on Xiao is a form of pollution from the remnants of a demon god, which will relentlessly attack Xiao in the spiritual realm.

Of the five powerful celestial yakshas, ​​three died tragically, one disappeared without a trace, and only one, the Demon-Subduing Great Sage, Xiao, survived.

However, in a sense, he was also nearing his limit. In one battle, Xiao could not suppress the karmic burden on his body and was about to lose himself.

He survived because Barbatos, who was slacking off like crazy in Mondstadt, saved him.

Therefore, in a sense, the karma and wear and tear on a demon share the same characteristics.

After this battle with the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, Su Hao knew that he would likely encounter more monsters possessed or corrupted by the remnants of the Demon God.

Fighting them would inevitably result in being tainted with the remnants of demons, so for the sake of the future, Su Hao gave the concentrated resin to Xiao Chi.

In a sense, it's like using Xiao as a guinea pig to see if you can eliminate the karmic obstacles on Xiao's body.

"For me?" Xiao looked at the concentrated resin. His nose twitched slightly, as if he had smelled something pleasant. He took a half step back and shook his head, saying, "That won't be necessary. I don't like candy."

"This isn't candy." Su Hao held out his hand, looking at Xiao, and said, "This is a medicine. After you take it, it will make you recall pleasant things and give you more energy."

"However, it does taste similar to candy. Back in the Thor movie, oh, the one where Thor eats this as a dessert."

"Judging from her expression and the special instructions she gave afterward, this stuff is really good, so have one, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Hearing what Su Hao said, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and Xiao had some strange expressions.

Thor ate the candy in front of him? And he seemed quite satisfied? Had they unknowingly overheard some secret event?

Xiao wasn't good at refusing others, but seeing how determined Su Hao was to make him eat this, he stopped refusing and planned to leave after eating it.

After receiving the concentrated resin from Su Hao, Xiao put it in his mouth, intending to crush it like a candy. However, the concentrated resin unexpectedly turned into a sweet liquid that flowed directly into his body.

In that instant, a hint of dazedness flashed in Xiao's eyes as he recalled the days he spent living with the four Yakshas who were like brothers and sisters, the day he was rescued by the Emperor, the day he was given a name, and the special feeling he had when he saw the lights of thousands of homes.

Favorite memories flooded back, and only when accompanied by a piercing scream beside him did Xiao come to his senses.

Once Xiao came to his senses, he ignored the ear-piercing screams beside him and instead felt much lighter, as if a large part of the burden he had carried for many years had been lifted off his shoulders.

And those wonderful memories continue to linger in Xiao's mind.

"What?! What's going on???"

But Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, who was standing to the side, was shocked. Yes, she was extremely shocked at that moment.

Because she could clearly see that the karmic obstacles on the Great Sage Subduing Demons were dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if these karmic obstacles had encountered their nemesis.

But just now, the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons ate something that looked like candy?

And now the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons looks much more relaxed. This is not just because the karmic obstacles accumulated over the years have disappeared, but because... they have been worn away!

As someone who once researched how to combat wear and tear, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng naturally knew how difficult wear and tear was to deal with. It was because of this thing that the Dragon King Ruotuo was sealed underground by the Emperor.

Now that he sees wear and tear and karmic obstacles resolved with a single candy, how could Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind not be shocked?

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun looked at Su Hao and hurriedly asked, "What materials is this made of? Is there any leftover?! This immortal wishes to study it!!!"

"This..." Seeing how excited Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was, Su Hao naturally understood why she was so excited, and said helplessly, "I only have one of these on me, and the rest have been given to others for research."

In any case, these things are all obtained through daily check-ins in the Heart Sea, and each one consumed reduces the supply.

We can't let others do the research anymore. Putting aside everything else, the people doing the research now are all incredibly talented.

Let's not even talk about that old fox, Yae no Miko. She's probably on par with Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun. Abedo is a specialist in research, and Zhongli is the Rock King Emperor. What kind of situation hasn't he seen?

Even Abedo and Zhongli said that they were missing a key ingredient. The other things were not difficult to collect, but they were missing that key ingredient.

As for Zhongli distributing items to increase luck, he probably thought it would increase everyone's luck, but he didn't expect... luck did increase, but the experience gained from signing in increased.

Therefore, Su Hao no longer wanted to hand over the concentrated resin to Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun. When she asked for it, he could only give her candy instead.

Shen He watched silently from the side as her master suddenly became excited, and Xiao's expression became noticeably more relaxed. She looked at Su Hao with some curiosity.

Why is it that the other party always manages to produce these eye-catching items? First, the bracelet, then this thing that looks like candy. Just how much is he hiding on him?

Shen He was very curious, but she didn't say anything because there was no need to.

After a moment, seemingly realizing that Su Hao really didn't have any concentrated resin, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun appeared extremely disappointed, because she felt that if she had obtained a piece of concentrated resin...

It is absolutely possible to replicate the same thing, and in this way, it may even allow the Naga King of Naga, who has been worn and suffered greatly, to return to the ground and see the light of day again.

"Such things are far too precious."

At this moment, Xiao came to his senses. He looked at Su Hao with much gentler eyes and said calmly, "I have nothing to give up."

"But since I've already eaten it, I won't say anything more. If you encounter any danger in Liyue, just call my name, and I will appear to protect you."

"My name is Xiao, and I am one of the Yakshas under the command of the Rock King. We shall meet again someday."

After saying this, Xiao disappeared from his spot and reappeared at the place where the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard had self-destructed. He picked up the spear from the ground and then nodded slightly to Su Hao.

After that, Xiao disappeared again. He was obviously very busy tonight; otherwise, given his personality, he probably would have stayed and chatted a bit more.

After Xiao left, Su Hao came to the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard. Looking at the corpses on the ground, he looked at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and said, "The Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard was contaminated by the remnants of the Demon God. Will it be okay for ordinary people to eat this meat?"

Clearly, Su Hao felt it was a pity. A large amount of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard's scales were gone, and a large amount of its blood was also lost due to the fire element eruption inside, leaving only the roasted and not fully roasted meat.

“Theoretically, there’s nothing to worry about.” Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun looked at the corpse of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard and said calmly, “The remnants of demonic gods are effective against the living. After they die, these remnants of demonic gods will return to the earth.”

"It comes again and again, one after another. After all, demons are immortal. Even if their consciousness is erased, these things still remain."

"There is also no precedent for anyone daring to eat a corpse that has been haunted by the lingering will of a demon god, so I am not sure whether something bad will happen."

Hearing this, Su Hao felt a little regretful, but he still went forward to touch the corpse to see if the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard would drop any materials.

As it turned out, Su Hao actually found something.

"Hmm?" Su Hao looked at the crystalline substance, resembling mineral, that he had pulled from the chest of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, and said in surprise, "This is..."

Unripe Jade is a material obtained by killing Ancient Rock Lizards in the Genshin Impact game. It is said to contain the potential to become a dragon.

Su Hao wasn't surprised by its existence, but rather by the fact that he hadn't expected to actually be able to retrieve this thing from the corpse of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard.

After all, this was the first time I'd ever found something real while looting a corpse.

In fact, Su Hao originally only planned to touch the corpse briefly. After all, he had touched corpses many times, but he had basically returned empty-handed. He didn't expect to actually find anything this time.

"Oh? An immature jade?" But Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was quite knowledgeable. Looking at the crystalline substance that resembled mineral, she exclaimed, "I didn't expect that there would actually be something like this inside the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard."

"It seems that the ancient rock dragon lizard will not disappear in the future, after all, rock dragon lizards that are a little older also have something similar in their bodies."

As he said this, True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng seemed to feel a little better. As long as the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard does not become extinct, it is a good thing in a sense.

Hopefully, the next ancient rock dragon lizard won't be hostile to humans, otherwise she'll probably have to deal with it again.

Looking at the immature jade in Su Hao's hand, True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng continued, "You're lucky. This immature jade, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will probably allow the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard to undergo a transformation in strength after another ten years or so."

"By then, it will probably be able to rival me, because it is said that the immature jade is the key to becoming a dragon. If this jade becomes the heart of the ancient rock dragon lizard..."

"He could very well become the legendary dragon that can shake mountains and tear the earth apart... Hmm... does that sound like someone talking about Ruoda? Oh well~"

Seeing the Thousand Rock Army rushing towards them from afar, True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng naturally knew that they had come to clean up the mess. After all, such a large pile of dead Ancient Rock Dragon Lizards still needed to be dealt with.

"Alright, we're leaving too."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun invited Su Hao and Shen He up, as she did not intend to linger here and planned to return to Aozang Mountain first.

"You go first." Su Hao told Shen He to go and get on Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's back first, as he didn't want to take advantage of others.

Although Shen He hugged him from behind and it felt good, he was a gentleman and wouldn't take advantage of such a small thing.

“Okay.” Shen He did not refuse. She sat in front, while Su Hao sat behind her, holding her waist.

"Shua——!!"

A strong sense of being pushed back appeared again, and the True Lord of Clouds and Wind flew very fast.

On the way back to Mount Aozang, Su Hao couldn't help but ask, "Don't we need to worry about the ruins anymore?"

“No need.” True Monarch Liuyun said calmly, “The matter of the ruins has been resolved by the Great Sage Subduing Demons, and he clearly does not want us to get involved.”

"The concentrated resin you fed him greatly reduced the [wear and tear] and [karmic obstacles] of the Demon-Slaying Great Sage. He is now at his peak, and even I am no match for him."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun is very strong. Judging from the fact that she killed the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard single-handedly without using the power of talismans, she is indeed very strong.

Even she admitted that she couldn't defeat the Great Sage Equaling Demons at his peak.

Such a great demon-slaying saint is enough to wipe out all enemies, and as he said, the problem of the ruins has been solved.

The remaining enemies are just some grunts. Based on my years of experience with the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, the enemy will not fight a battle they are not confident of winning.

If a large-scale enemy were to appear, and he were unable to handle it alone, he would naturally seek advice from the immortals.

Furthermore... if an enemy that even the Great Sage of Demon Extermination couldn't defeat were to appear on the Liyue Continent, the Emperor would probably step in to deal with it.

"Oh, right." At this moment, Su Hao suddenly remembered something and asked Liu Yunjiefeng, "Have you found the person who attacked you, True Lord?"
