Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

But this is something her brother made up in his own head; it has nothing to do with her!

Or perhaps, after hearing what his brother said, Su Hao also had a different idea?

This, isn't this right?

For a moment, Ying's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"Eh?!"

Paimon, who had been following Ying, also seemed to realize something and looked at Su Hao and the Traveler with a shocked expression, unable to believe his eyes.

She covered her eyes with her hands and quickly said, "I don't know anything, I don't know anything."

Su Hao watched their performance with some speechlessness, then looked at Ying helplessly and said, "Actually, I remember you once said that you had the power to purify filth."

"Huh? Did I say that?" Ying blinked, quickly regaining her composure.

She does indeed possess the power to purify impurities, because back in Mondstadt, a mage of the abyss used this power to try and control a strange monster.

Later, Ying used this power to purify the monster. The Abyss Mage was very surprised and ran away without saying a word.

The strange monster, having lost its ability to fight, lay on the ground, its fate unknown.

But if Ying remembers correctly, she shouldn't have told anyone else about this, right?

Chapter 268 A thousand cliffs stand firm, a towering peak remains unmoved!

Ying remembers not showing this ability in Liyue, so how did Su Hao know?

This made her a little confused, and then her gaze involuntarily shifted to Paimon, who was not far away.

"Ahahaha~"

Paimon, who was being stared at by Ying, seemed to have thought of something and began to look to the side, as if there was some beautiful scenery there.

This made Ying narrow her eyes slightly, as if she understood why Su Hao knew about her ability.

It seems that Paimon secretly leaked this information without Paimon's knowledge.

When was that? How come I don't know? Could it have been during one of the previous times we went out to eat?

Paimon, on the other hand, wondered if she had inadvertently revealed information about the Traveler, since she had done such things quite often.

Paimon was well aware of his ability to inadvertently reveal information.

"Ah."

Ying felt that Paimon had revealed her information, but she didn't think much of it and just nodded slightly to indicate that she did indeed have the ability to purify.

"Try this and see if you can purify it."

Su Hao stepped aside, intending to let Ying try and see if she could purify the black mud under her feet.

If possible, then Yingmei will probably have to transform into a cleaning maniac, cleaning and purifying all that black mud one by one.

If she succeeds, Ying's reputation in Liyue will likely reach a level comparable to that of Qixing.

Yes, you should know that the black mud in the Layered Rock Abyss is a headache for the Emperor and the immortals. If Ying really clears it out, she will definitely be the focus of attention and befriended by the Seven Stars of Liyue.

"I'll give it a try."

Ying didn't know if she could clean up the black mud. She reached out her hand, and an invisible force surged from her body, disappearing into the mud sluice.

"Zizzizi-!!"

The mud sluice, which Su Hao had previously deflated, seemed to be stimulated by something and began to boil again, regaining its vitality.

"This?! He's been resurrected?!" Paimon's eyes widened in disbelief at the sight before him.

How did the Traveler's power revive this disgusting-looking lump of black mud?! Could their powers originate from the same source?!

"No, this is a final burst of energy before death."

Su Hao clearly saw that the black mud on the ground sensed the danger and was beginning to revive, intending to stop Ying from continuing to release that purifying energy.

Ying also sensed the black mud's rejection, so she increased her energy output.

Then the black mud gushing out on the ground disappeared at a visible speed.

The black mud, which even the immortals and the Rock King Emperor found troublesome, appeared so fragile in front of Ying, as if the two were natural enemies.

Firefly can purify the ominous energy brought by black mud, not just temporarily, but completely eradicate it.

The commotion attracted the attention of the people around. Ye Lan walked over and looked at the black mud that had disappeared from the ground, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.

No one knows better than Ye Lan how difficult this thing is to deal with.

Before launching the Layered Rock Abyss project, Liyue made ample preparations, such as using sealing techniques to seal the black mud.

Or they could use newly developed elemental weapons to carry out forced suppression.

Or they could send out a large number of experts, like Su Hao, to use elemental power to eliminate them.

However, all of the above are merely temporary solutions; they can suppress the symptoms but not cure the root cause.

So this black sludge was actually dealt with by an honorary knight from Mondstadt?! That's truly astonishing.

Ye Lan looked at Su Hao not far away. She thought he was really amazing. How come he always had so many capable people around him?!

Xiao also appeared to the side, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He clearly hadn't expected that this outsider, who didn't belong to the Teyvat world, would have such abilities.

"How's the consumption?" Su Hao wasn't too surprised to see that Ying had actually managed to deal with the black mud.

In the storyline, during the process of clearing the Black Mud in the Laminaria Abyss in Liyue, Luminous made a lot of contributions, making her a very competent "tool" character.

Therefore, Su Hao was not surprised that she could solve it. If it was really just a matter of using Lumenite as a catalyst to solve the black mud and silt gushing out of the Layered Rock Abyss.

Then Liyue wouldn't be in such a predicament, sealing off the entire Lava Pit and even temporarily abandoning some of the Thousand Rock Army and Fatui who couldn't evacuate in time.

"It consumes a lot of energy. If I purify seven or eight mud gushing points in a row, I'm afraid I'll lose my ability to fight," Yingmei said honestly.

These words made Ye Lan frown slightly. Although she hadn't seen how large the sludge outflow on the ground was, she knew.

But beneath the massive rock abyss, there are hundreds of such mud gushing outlets!

Furthermore, the closer one gets to the depths of the strata abyss, the larger these mud vents become!

It would probably take hundreds of years for this girl named Ying to solve so many muddy gullies.

Another, rather awkward situation is that while she is purifying, the black mud surges up, and even more silt may appear.

Just thinking about this scene gave Ye Lan a huge headache.

"Understood." Su Hao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. He casually took out a small bottle containing an unknown liquid and asked, "Where is the closest, lifeless silt spring to here?"

"here."

D'Artagnan emerged, still holding the longbow he had been using to slack off.

The bow is his least proficient weapon, but he will use it to launch attacks if he is not serious.

However, he was also curious about Ying's abilities, and he had learned some information about the situation inside the Abyss of Layered Rocks through intelligence.

According to research conducted within the Fools, this black mud is suspected to be degraded abyssal energy; in other words, it should be an abyssal curse.

Even a substandard version of the Abyss Curse is not something that can be easily resolved or eradicated.

Therefore, he was also very curious about how Ying and Su Hao planned to deal with this thing. He thought he could also see something by looking at it with his own eyes.

Led by Dadalia, Ying and Su Hao arrived at a mud gully that had temporarily lost its vitality and was no longer spewing black mud.

Through the chat group, Ying also learned that the small bottle of unknown liquid in Su Hao's hand was a high-quality imitation made based on the sign-in props.

Although it's unclear whether it will have any effect on the black mud inside the Layered Rock Abyss, there's no harm in trying it out, and who knows, maybe we'll make some new discoveries!

With that in mind, Su Hao opened the small bottle and poured out the clear liquid inside.

"Zzzzzzzzz—!"

The inside of the silt well was violently disturbed, just like water being poured into a frying pan.

Black mud gushed out again from the silt outlet.

Meanwhile, Ying took the opportunity to unleash her unique purification ability and began to purify the black mud and silt gushing out.

With the help of the pseudo-purifying water, the silt inlet was quickly cleaned up.

"How is it going?" Ye Lan asked eagerly.

This is a very important matter for Liyue, as the Laminar Abyss contains many precious and rare minerals.

If development continues, it will greatly boost the economy of Liyue.

"The consumption has decreased a lot." Ying gave the good news. She looked at everyone and said, "I can probably solve more than fifty similar mud gushing mouths in a day."

"But... this thing is truly amazing."

Ying was quite surprised at this moment. She did not expect that after using the pseudo-purifying water, the energy consumption for eliminating the silt gushing outflow would be so much lower.

If it is truly purified water, could just one drop solve the problem of the silt seepage?

As Abedo mentioned in the group, this pseudo-purifying water, although it has 70% of the effect of the original purifying water.

However, this was only theoretical. Because the water of purification was so scarce, with Wendy using it down to just a dozen drops, Abedo dared not conduct the experiment.

"That's normal. You'll see many more amazing things in the future."

Su Hao, on the other hand, felt it was perfectly normal, because anything produced by Abedo was bound to be of high quality.

The opponent is arguably the strongest alchemist on the continent of Teyvat.

Known as the "Son of Chalk," Abedo was so powerful that even an ancient god like Zhongli, who had lived for thousands of years, did not think he could compare to him in this respect.

At the same time, Su Hao also felt very fortunate to have such a powerful alchemist as Abedo join the chat group at the beginning; it was truly a blessing.

"Then, let's continue!"

Xiao also spoke up, a rare occurrence for him. He looked at the dark energy in the distance and said calmly, "Take care of this area as soon as possible. We'll establish a base as a foothold, and then begin exploring the Layered Rock Abyss."

What lies deep within the abyss of layered rocks is unknown even to Xiao, because it happened five hundred years ago.

He only vaguely knew that there were traces of an unnamed yaksha deep in the abyss of layered rocks.

If he were alone, Xiao would have already disappeared from the spot and headed deep into the Abyss of Layered Rocks.

However, the Emperor had said that once inside the Abyss of Layered Rocks, he would obey Su Hao's orders without complaint.
