I'm in the Teyvat running group

Yunxiu smiled. This was certainly a good thing for Minghai Qixia, since this immortal had only recently been revived and understanding the world was an important part of his life.

However, Yunxiu did not expect that he would soon be going to Xumi as well.

After dinner, just as Yunxiu was about to go to sleep that night, the best bard came to Yunxiu's place again, holding a cup of wine and saying with a smile, "How about it? I brought an even better bottle this time!"

Chapter 282 The Revelation of the Divine Wind and Waves of the Lost Abyss (Third update on Monday!)

“I think that good wine should be paired with a good poem to match such scenery.” Yunxiu smiled and welcomed Wendy in.

It's a pity the Emperor isn't here tonight, otherwise, with Walnut and others, we could have had a feast for the gods... Of course, I'm mainly here to eat.

“Poetry is no problem, of course, but let’s wait until everything is over.” Wendy poured Yunxiu a glass of wine, then pulled out a few plates of pastries from somewhere and placed them on the table. She also brushed away a few leaves, and then said with a grin, “Is the company of an old friend not as good as a few lines of poetry?”

"I think something more substantial is more interesting." Yunxiu took a small sip. This didn't seem to be the kind of drink she had ever had before. Instead, it had a floral fragrance, or more precisely, the scent of Cecilia flowers, and a completely different temperature.

Strictly speaking, while the winemaking process is of a very high standard, it seems to be somewhat imperfect.

Is it some new product? Or is it brewed by Wendy herself? But her time-manipulation ability could certainly make the wine even more mellow and fragrant...

"This bottle of wine is a new product from Jingfu Port. They gave it to me so I could try it out." Wendy poured herself a glass, took a sip, and then smiled, "It's really quite good. It seems that flower-based winemaking could be a viable direction for Mondstadt."

"The biggest problem with flower-based winemaking is actually the yield... but we can consider importing rice from Nata as the base wine, which will also ensure the flavor."

"Oh? Yes, you're right. I'll tell them that." Wendy actually pulled out a small notebook from somewhere and started writing it down seriously, which made Yunxiu a little curious.

However, this deity has always been quite carefree, so it's not surprising that he does things this way.

The two drank together, taking turns toasting, over several plates of pastries. Towards the end, Wendy finally revealed his purpose for the day: "Those two gods will be coming to Liyue in the next few days. Then you can try to resurrect 'Bai Chen,' and there will be other surprises too!"

"Oh?" Yunxiu couldn't help but become curious. "What other surprises are there? Can you tell me?"

“Since we’re good friends, then of course there’s no problem.” Venti said with a smile, “A long, long time ago… a Demon God once appeared in Liyue…”

"Um... get to the point?" Yunxiu sighed helplessly. This was Wendy's usual habit, but Yunxiu himself was speechless about it because he was a straightforward person.

"Why is today a bit boring? Alright, alright, I'll make it short." Wendy wasn't angry at all. The two of them had drunk together so many times that he knew Wendy's temperament very well. Wendy wasn't averse to making friends with all sorts of people, or in other words, this Wind God could be said to have friends all over the continent.

Of course, a large portion of them are drinking buddies.

After Wendy explained, Yunxiu finally understood what had happened.

This is actually related to a war in Liyue and a demon god.

Where did Bai Chen the Great Fox come from? Why did she come across the sea? And what kind of sea is this?

This was not explained in previous stories, but the sea in question is actually the Cloud Sea. Bai Chen is not from Liyue's native land. She has a very important relationship with a demon god, namely the demon god of the Sea God Palace.

In legends, one of the demon god's mounts was the Chi beast, and there were two of them. In the story of "Ancient Clouds Have Chi", you will see this ancient demon beast. Although some people have said that this is the demon god, the emperor actually denied it. Chi is actually just a demon beast that looks more powerful.

Strictly speaking, the Chi is actually a follower of that demon god.

As for who that demon god is, there are actually too many demon gods in Genshin Impact now; they have almost used up all seventy-two demon god titles.

The only one that comes close is probably Orion, who is ranked fifty-ninth. He holds two hell serpents in his hands. Although they are not exactly the same, they can at least be considered a plausible match.

The Sea God Palace disappeared after the War of the Demon Gods and sank to the bottom of the sea. However, according to the relevant plot and story, the Sea God Palace did appear again later, though not often.

When it comes to the Sea God's Palace, many people will naturally think of the Abyss Palace. In the story of "The Past of the Sun and Moon", it is mentioned that those who did not obey the primordial people were accepted by the sea. This also explains the rationality of the existence of places like the Sea God's Palace, the Abyss Palace, and Lemuria. Of course, there is also an interesting thing: the ancient civilization of the Layered Rock Abyss, also known as Langxuan, was actually a maritime civilization.

Because the Abyss was once a sea, it has become the abyss it is today.

"So, all I can get this time is news about the Sea God Palace?" Yunxiu smiled and said, "If that's the case, it might really be a surprise, and there will be a new adventure."

“Yes, and it’s even connected to the legendary ancient kingdom of Langxuan.” Wendy smiled, looking at Yunxiu with a meaningful gaze. “Aren’t you looking for an angel? Perhaps you can find the answer you’re looking for there!”

This is truly Ishtar's alt account; I haven't told many people about this...

Yunxiu smiled and drank a cup of wine, but did not continue to speak. However, it was certainly a good thing to be able to explore the Sea God Palace. She was already quite interested in these things, and being able to explore a map that had never appeared in the original Genshin Impact story was an interesting thing no matter how you looked at it. She just didn't know what the Sea God Palace would be like.

Is it as eerie as the Abyss Palace, as magnificent as Liyue, or even the traditional 'East Sea Dragon Palace' style, or something completely different?

If I can uncover information about the ancient kingdom, my understanding of the war between demons and gods will surely be greatly enhanced.

As for whether she could find the angel... Yunxiu had actually given up hope.

Most angels have been hiding under the watchful eyes of divine justice for many years, making it incredibly difficult for me to find them. On the contrary, if they wanted to see me, they would always find a way, at the very least, they could find one of the girls I was on good terms with...

The two drank for a while longer, and Yunxiu even opened a bottle of new wine from Chenyu Valley. After getting completely drunk, Wendy left.

This deity often appears and disappears without a trace, which Yunxiu has gotten used to. The only thing she might not be used to is that he always brings different wines each time he comes.

After all, Yunxiu's interest in alcohol is only so-so. The good news is that after Navia learned that she was interested in Fonda but wanted other flavors, she started to help Yunxiu research Black Fonda, which is cola.

The current news is that the first batch of finished products will likely be developed soon, at which point Yunxiu will have cola to drink, and naturally, he'll have little interest in alcohol...

After seeing Wendy off, Yunxiu naturally went back to her room to wash up and go to sleep. There's a saying that if you can't sleep once, you can't sleep twice, and if you can't sleep twice, you can sleep three or four times. Since that night, Yunxiu has naturally been sleeping with Hu Tao.

Although Hu Tao had a bad sleeping posture and kicked off the blankets in a crooked way at night, it was not a big problem for Yun Xiu. Anyway, with his physique of just over thirty, he was unlikely to suffer any problems from the cold.

As for whether Hu Tao was asleep or not, whether she was really in a bad sleeping position or just deliberately finding an excuse to sleep next to Yun Xiu, who could possibly know?

After all, only the person drinking the water knows whether it's hot or cold. Even Yunxiu herself often couldn't figure out what girls were thinking.

But perhaps the moon outside the window knows, though she never says it.

-----------------

The waiting time was much longer than Yunxiu had imagined. The renovation of the ancestral hall was almost complete, and about half a month had passed.

Xiangling, Ayaka Kamisato, and Navia have all been here several times. In particular, it is quite convenient for Fontaine to come to Yilongbu. This young lady will occasionally come here to stay for a couple of days and bring Yunxiu the new Black Fontaine flavor. After trying it a few times, she found that it tastes very similar to cola.

Yunxiu waved his hand and named it Fengke. This peculiar name puzzled Navia, but it was not a big deal, so she quickly arranged for production to begin.

The first batch of Fontaine sold out instantly upon release, with millions of cases sold out across Teyvat in a flash. Fontaine bottles became incredibly expensive, even fetching thousands of Mora on the black market. In some desolate areas, such as the wilderness of Nata and Nordkalai, it even became a form of hard currency, more sought after than gems…

The manufacturers of Fontaine naturally made a fortune. Keep in mind that they had 40% of the shares in the Fontaine Academy, 30% in Navia, and less than 10% left for themselves. Even so, they made a lot of Mora, which made other manufacturers envious.

Based on the principle of sharing profits, Yunxiu also had Navia introduce several more manufacturers to produce the products, including Yunxiu's own chamber of commerce. She even got Hu Tao involved, but Hu Tao quickly used her imagination to come up with a series of flavors for Maple Leaf products, such as Cherry, Plum Blossom, Refreshing Ponytail, and Dudu Lotus...

Although she desperately wanted to complain, Yunxiu still approved it, because the original world also had some strange tastes.

Just like cherry flavor, Yunxiu still doesn't know which genius would like to drink this kind of thing...

Who knows, maybe there are humans with some unusual fetishes in Teyvat too?

In this relaxed atmosphere, on the twenty-fifth day, as winter was approaching, the Great Compassion Tree King and Thunder God finally arrived at Yilongbu. The two of them disguised themselves as sisters and secretly rented a small courtyard near Yunxiu. They arrived at the courtyard, which was originally their residence but had now been transformed into a branch of the Rebirth Hall.

Together with the Emperor, they caught Yunxiu, who was taking a nap while hugging a walnut, on a recliner.

"The Sage is indeed a person with a very strong heart. He can still maintain such a relaxed state of mind at a time like this." The Great Compassion Tree King looked at Yunxiu and smiled. "This is not a bad thing. After all, you have always been very reliable in doing things."

"Um... although I am in a good mood, the main reason is that I've been really tired lately because of some things..." Yunxiu scratched her head helplessly:

"Is the time now for Bai Chen to be revived?"

Chapter 283 The Bustling City Reflects the Spirit Realm (First Update on Tuesday!)

“We still need some time to prepare. Give me the energy and remains of ‘that one’.” Raiden was clearly more anxious than the other two gods. She stared at Yunxiu seriously and said, “We need to prepare for three more days. We will tell you then. You should also be prepared.”

Yunxiu nodded, took out the storage bag and handed it directly to Lei Dianzhen. This thing had been in his hands for a long time, and he himself had hardly touched it.

The confinement alone was already a huge challenge, and using it was something he couldn't handle at the moment.

Lei Dian Zhen took the storage bag, sensed it briefly, nodded, and then handed it to the Great Compassion Tree King. The two exchanged a glance and then put the storage bag away. Yun Xiu had imprisoned these items quite beautifully, no less than the level of some demon gods.

“As expected of the Emperor’s ‘Child of God,’ her abilities in this area far surpass those of her other attendants.” The Great Tree King spoke, her eyes still remarkably beautiful, different from Nasita’s, yet possessing a unique charm. She smiled and said, “We should need another day or two to handle this; let’s set it for three days from now.”

"Are we still in Chenyu Valley?" Yunxiu asked curiously. "If not, where are we going?"

“Chenyu Valley is indeed not suitable, but there is also some danger in Xumi, so let’s go to Baida Port opposite Chiwangtai…” The Great Compassion Tree King looked at Yunxiu and smiled, “There are not many ships and people there, so it is easier to evacuate. Although there shouldn’t be any major incidents, we still need to make preparations in advance.”

Bayda Port... there aren't usually many people there.

Most ships in Sumeru set sail from Port Omos, and Fontaine's main port is also Port Softlight. Port Maritime in this life is even more desolate than in the previous life, for the reason, as mentioned before, that Sumeru's Dead Zone has changed everything.

Now, Harbor has almost become a complete military port. Apart from the army of Fontaine and the powerful people heading to the Dead Zone, almost no one still travels here. Even the patrol ships have been handed over to the Shadow Chaser. This huge Dead Zone has changed many things.

Therefore, Bayda Port is actually a good choice. Only a small group of staff who maintain the port and the town they run remain. Once everyone is evacuated, even if Bayda Port is abandoned for some reason, it will not cause any accidents.

“We still need to deal with this with the Emperor, so we’ll set off in three days.” Lei Dianzhen glanced at Zhongli, whose face remained expressionless, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. Lei Dianzhen said helplessly, “After all, there are many things that only he knows. We’re quite confused about how to use him.”

“Alright… I’ll be going to Baida Port in three days, but I’ve been here for quite a while, so I plan to visit Sumeru City first.” Yunxiu patted her head helplessly before continuing, “I’ve been almost entirely in Yilongbu lately, so it’s time to stretch my muscles.”

"It seems you've finally remembered that you're still the Ninth Sage of the Order of the Church." The Great Tree King looked at Yunxiu with a hint of amusement. "I paid a huge price for the deal with Morax. Sometimes I even thought about tying you up to work at the Order of the Church."

"Um... I recently sent Rene and his wife over..." Yunxiu said rather guiltily, "These two must have done quite a bit, right?"

“Five hundred years ago, those two lived in the Faith Council for a long time. I once wanted to appoint Rene as a sage of Siddham Academy, but unfortunately, he eventually returned to Fontaine with his wife and then disappeared.” The Great Tree King sighed, saying with considerable helplessness, “Although I don’t know how you found him again, I can tell that the elements that make up his body are different from before. This child…”

“This is a long story…” Yunxiu sighed. He hadn’t told anyone else about this, not even the gods. But now was not the time to be completely open. He thought for a moment and said, “If they pose any threat to the Order of the Church, I can take them away. But I want to explain the specific reasons later.”

“Oh? If that’s what you mean, then it’s alright. They’re doing quite well in the Order of the Church, and there’s no intention of kicking them out.” The Great Tree King waved his hand. “As for the reason, I have some guesses, but of course, we can talk about it in detail when you’re ready to be frank.”

After exchanging a few more words, the group left. They needed to combine the soul, the origin, and the original fragments; only then could they achieve a complete revival.

However, these are not things Yunxiu needs to deal with right now. He really wants to go to Xumi for a stroll. After all, his previous trips to Xumi were just casual walks, and he didn't really go anywhere. However, when he went to Fontaine, he didn't stay in Fontaine for long either. Most of the time, he was either in Baisong Town or fishing with Navia.

This has truly ruined me; it seems I need to quit drinking starting today.

Yunxiu muttered a few complaints, then turned around and saw Hu Tao's expectant gaze. She could only say helplessly, "Then please accompany me to Sumeru, Miss Hu Tao. I'll go to Baida Port by myself later..."

"Oh dear, although I've been quite busy lately, I can still spare some time to accompany you to Sumeru for a few days," Hu Tao said happily, arms crossed. "But when do we set off? Do we need to prepare a lot of things for Sumeru?"

"No need, I can just send a message using the Spirit Realm. Let's set off now." Yunxiu took out her terminal and sent a message to the Chamber of Commerce's branch in Xumi. Then, she picked up Hu Tao and flew straight towards Xumi City. Hu Tao herself was already used to Yunxiu's spontaneous style, so she wasn't surprised at all.

The Sumeru branch is actually the second largest overseas branch of the Yunxiu Chamber of Commerce, with the largest located in Fontaine. This is because Fontaine almost handles the trade of the entire Zhidong region and a large part of the Nata region. The main reason is that Fontaine is almost the last country that still maintains a good relationship with Zhidong.

Zhidong has no branches, only agents and distributors. This is due to Zhidong's own problems. It is extremely difficult for other forces to enter Zhidong. Moreover, Zhidong itself has many restrictions on foreign merchants. This has led to Zhidong being the slowest to be applied among all the spells and mechanisms developed by Yunxiu.

As for the consequences, that was certainly not what Yunxiu was worried about; the one who was most worried was naturally the Ice Queen…

It is said that she recently obtained the Heart of God from the Great Tree King through a transaction and is currently negotiating with Fontaine. Judging from the message sent by Funina, the conditions offered by the Winter Queen are quite good. Fontaine's throne has been shattered, so the Heart of God is naturally of little use. It is still worthwhile to exchange it for some other things.

Yunxiu himself had seen the Heart of God before. At first, he even wanted to study it, but in the end, he found that there wasn't much information, so he had to give up.

Although he was fairly confident that he could gather all seven God Hearts to resurrect the Third Descendant, it wouldn't benefit Yunxiu much. Whether he resurrected the Third Descendant or simply grafted the title onto himself, the ultimate goal was simply to possess the title of a Descendant.

Objectively speaking, the most successful one on this path is actually Master René. If he had had a few more tricks up his sleeve or had the support of Yunxiu's magic system at the time, he might have succeeded.

Therefore, when news of food shortages emerged some time ago, there was even an order to exchange a large amount of food from Nata for ore through the Yunxiu Merchant Guild. This trade was completed through the Fengdan Shipping, because only the Yunxiu Merchant Guild possessed the technology to create huge storage spaces. Although the spell to create a demiplane is not complicated.

However, the core array of the most crucial anti-interference spatial anchoring technique is a genuine patent. Without it, it is impossible to create a demiplane based on spiritual materials.

This is one of the reasons why Yunxiu's Chamber of Commerce is able to make quite a bit of money in various countries.
