I'm in the Teyvat running group

【Crimson Moon Authority】: When used as a material for forging, it can grant protective equipment a powerful 30 points of fire resistance.

【Echo of Flame】: When used as a material for forging, it can grant protective equipment an additional 3D10+11 points of shield, which has an additional 150% absorption capacity against fire elemental damage.

[Bloodline Elegy]: When forging or directly storing in your backpack, gain an additional weight capacity boost of 10KG (daytime) / 200KG (nighttime).

Holding the two feathers, Yunxiu seemed to remember something else and looked at Abedo, asking, "Mr. Abedo, are you still studying Tvalin's scale...?"

“If you’re referring to the one you found before, I’ve already studied it.” Abedo replied after a moment’s thought, “Tvalin has severed his connection with the scale and given it to you. I can get it for you if you need it now.”

"No, no, no, I'd like to ask you for a favor." Yunxiu took out two pieces of silk feathers and handed them to Abedo. Then she took two pieces of paper and started writing and drawing. Finally, she handed the two pieces of paper to Abedo and said, "If possible, I would like to ask you to help me forge some equipment. These are the relevant blueprints and magic patterns. If you need any reward, please feel free to mention it."

"No need for a reward, the Knights are already thinking of how to reward you." After looking at the magic runes, Abedo started scribbling on the paper. "I can help you improve the effectiveness, but dividing the scales into four parts will definitely weaken some of the effect. Are you sure you want to do that?"

"It's ok."

"Okay, ten million Mora."

"!?"

“I don’t need it, but Mora is a catalyst in alchemy, and that’s how much it’s consumed to forge this kind of top-tier equipment.” Seeing Yunxiu’s astonished expression, Abedo grinned mischievously. This Son of Chalk rarely showed a teasing side to Yunxiu. He continued, “However, regarding the materials you left in the Swallow Bag, apart from the two Beast Realm King-level artifacts, the Knights are willing to buy them for 15 million Mora. What do you mean?”

"I accept!" Yunxiu breathed a sigh of relief. This time he didn't have to pay out of his own pocket. Although the price would definitely be higher if he sold it to the Adventurers' Guild or sold it separately, the Knights' direct purchase saved him the trouble. He needed to use the extra time to do something to survive under Xiangling's coming hand...

“Okay, then I’ll take these two feathers.” Abedo got up and left, leaving only Sugar and Yunxiu in the restaurant.

Seeing that Sugar hadn't said a word the whole way, except for watching her write a few magic runes and then diligently drawing alchemical arrays, Yunxiu, finally feeling a sense of relief, quietly sat down next to Sugar, reached out and put her arm around Sugar's waist, and quietly savored the perfect scent that belonged only to Sugar: a girl's natural fragrance mixed with the essence of sweet flower potion, and then blended with the wind element.

“Harmless sweetness,” Yunxiu murmured.

"Ah... Mr. Yunxiu..." Feeling Yunxiu's increasingly groping hands, Sugar's face and body quickly flushed. She shyly uttered in a weak voice, "There... there are other people here..."

"Um..." Watching the head maid, Adeline, with a maternal smile, quietly leave the dining room and close the door behind her, Yunxiu lost interest in continuing. It wasn't because he and his brother hadn't discussed it properly, but because he suddenly remembered that Xiangling might be arriving in a couple of days, and he needed to figure out how to resolve this chaotic situation as soon as possible...

"Alright..." Reluctantly withdrawing her hands from Sugar, Yunxiu calmed her instincts before seriously looking at what Sugar had written and drawn, which was the magic circle she had drawn a few days ago.

My previous idea was to combine five different spells to create a stable spatial storage artifact in Teyvat. That's why I chose [Detection Magic] and [Spot the Weakness]. Detection Magic only needs a slight modification to be used to detect ley lines, while Spot the Weakness is generally used to identify the weaknesses of creatures, but it's not impossible to use it to find the weak points of ley lines.

Then, activate the material using the "Activate Object" technique, fix its spirituality using the "Command Technique," and finally, combine this spiritual material with the location of the earth's veins to create a storage space.

Although many spells are used, each one only requires a small part, so the actual requirements are not high. I plan to name this spell "Anti-Interference Anchoring Spatial Core Spell". From my understanding, this should be considered a third-circle spell.

My naming skills are even worse than Sugar's...

“Mr. Yunxiu…” Sugar handed over the paper and said, “I’ve been calculating for a few days, and this spell should be able to be cast reliably in Teyvat… I just cast it once today… but I don’t know any spatial spells.”

After saying that, Sugar unpacked her small bag and handed over a piece of old ley line branch that had clearly been activated, saying, "I've tested it... this is the low-grade material that reacts the best..."

Yunxiu took the old branch of the ley line. He wasn't surprised that this thing could be the best material. Abyss mages originally had the ability to use the ley lines to cast spatial spells. Although the distance was very short, it was actually more like a mage's "blink" skill. But if you can cast it, you can cast it, even if it's incomplete. Besides, all he wanted was a storage bag, not to open up a demiplane.

"Let's give it a try!" With that, Yunxiu took Sugar's hand and led her to the garden of Dawn Winery, where they found a pavilion to sit in. Politely declining the maids' help, Yunxiu took out the old branch of the earth's veins, concentrated her spiritual energy on it, and cast the spell she had prepared beforehand:

[Storage Rope]: Creates a 2-cubic-meter space that can hold up to 8 living beings, but cannot contain large creatures. Lasts for 1 hour. If you cast this spell twice consecutively, it will last indefinitely.

Yunxiu had already learned these related spells when he leveled up. With his extraordinary intelligence, learning such low-level spells was no problem at all, and this spell was originally only a second-circle spell.

A strange stream of light swirled around the outer shell of the old ley line branch, which quickly transformed into a strange rope. The rope automatically wrapped around itself, forming a small hole in the middle that glowed with an eerie light. Yunxiu picked up the rope and found that the same scene was visible from both the front and the back.

He handed the rope to Sugar and said with a smile, "Give it a try."

Sugar carefully took the rope, looked inside, then placed it on the ground and tentatively lifted the chair from the pavilion and tried to insert it...

What impressive arm strength this girl has! Watching Sugar continuously stuff all sorts of furniture inside, Yunxiu didn't stop her. After all, even if she failed, these things shouldn't be a problem for Master Lu…

After trying for over twenty minutes, until she had stuffed her alchemical tools in and out of her clothes several times, Sugar finally picked up the rope, seemingly still unsatisfied. She looked up and saw Yunxiu watching her with a smile. Her face quickly flushed, and she timidly crossed her fingers in front of her chest, saying, "N-no... I'm sorry... Mr. Yunxiu, I was too focused on the experiment... I'm sorry, I'm always like this..."

"It's alright." Yunxiu patted Sugar's head and then said happily, "Thank you for your research on magic. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to create this thing so quickly. Besides, that's what I like about you."

"Huh?" Sugar's ears perked up again, radiating immense heat. Her hands twisted around the hem of her skirt, and she uttered a shy yet joyful voice: "Mr. Yunxiu just loves to tease people..."

Pulling Sugar to sit down on the chair, Yunxiu picked up the rope and carefully examined its attributes. He then discovered that, as he had expected, the duration of this product was significantly reduced in the Teyvat environment.

[Low-level storage item - Unnamed]: "The genius mage's wonderful idea is realized under the vision of the genius alchemist girl. Who can say that this is not a wonderful journey of first love?"

Rank: Intermediate

characteristic:

[Legion Storage]: Establish a relatively stable node space within the ley lines. You can store up to 2 cubic meters of materials and items, and up to 2 living beings, but cannot accommodate medium or larger creatures. The maximum capacity is 1000KG.

[Anchor of Stability]: Duration 360 days (currently 359 days and 23 hours remaining)

Yunxiu scratched his head. Compared to the original, the biggest problem with this thing was that it weakened the ability to contain living things, but this might be a characteristic of the ley lines themselves. If he wanted to lower the requirements for casting spells, he could only rely on the ley lines. However, even with ley lines, it was not very realistic to make them permanently stable. But this was not a big deal, since there were plenty of materials in Teyvat. He could just sell them at a lower price.

“Let’s call it ‘Sugar’s Magic Storage Pouch’,” Yunxiu said, hesitating the rope. “We can develop more spells based on this one, and then find a way to sell it. It’s sure to sell well. The profits will be yours, Miss Sugar. You can use it as you like, or you can have Diluc find a butler to manage it for you…”

"Ah...no, no...I only provided assistance with this spell; most of it was guided by Mr. Yunxiu..." Sugar waved her hands frantically, saying, "Besides, it's definitely worth a lot, a lot of Mora..."

Seeing Sugar's flustered yet earnest expression, Yunxiu pulled her into her arms, gently lifting the petite alchemist horizontally and placing her steadily on her lap. She instinctively wanted to push him away and dodge, but her body's instincts failed her, and she could only curl up in Yunxiu's strong arms, the intense heat making her mind go blank.

Looking at Sugar's soft cheeks and slightly trembling eyelashes, Yunxiu leaned down and gently pecked her cheeks twice, then kissed her three or four more times as if she still wanted more.

"Ah..." The intense heat made Sugar's face flush red. She opened her mouth slightly but couldn't make a sound. Instead, she gripped Yunxiu's robe tightly with her small hands and buried her face in Yunxiu's chest as if unconsciously, which exposed her other cheek as well.

“It makes no difference whether Miss Sugar or I take the profits.” Yunxiu certainly wouldn’t let this opportunity pass. He gently kissed the other half of Sugar’s equally soft cheek and said seriously, “Besides… even 10 billion Mora isn’t as valuable as you.”

“Okay… Mr. Yunxiu…”

Chapter 61 Green Plum from the West, Heart at Peace

Over the next few days, Yunxiu and Sugar worked together to develop the spell. Under Abedo's guidance, they had almost completed the entire spell system for the storage artifact in just one week.

The casting effect of the [Anti-interference Anchoring Space Core Technique] is quite good. As long as the ring is upgraded, the materials can be reliably activated. As the ring rank and quality are improved, the storage items created will remain stable for a longer time. Of course, the inscription of space spells also requires a higher level.

Ultimately, they figured out the three most suitable levels.

The third ring's [Anti-interference Anchoring Space Core Technique] combined with the [Storage Rope] spell ultimately developed a stable space, as mentioned before, but its effective duration was extended to two years. The required materials are old leyline branches or fragile bone fragments.

The combination of the Five Rings spell with the [Private Chamber] creates a giant space of 100 cubic meters, which is not much different from the Swallow Bag. It can be maintained for five years. The required materials are new ley lines, petrified bone fragments, or hidden beast claws.

The seventh-ring spell, combined with the [Magic Mansion], can create a 2000-cubic-meter space, far exceeding the Swallow Bag, and can store living creatures for ten years. The required materials are top-tier materials such as Beast Realm King Artifacts.

Yunxiu and Sugar huddled together, racking their brains for a long time. The two terrible name-givers named the later props "Sugar's Magic Little Room" and "Sugar's Magic Warehouse." Although Abedo was speechless when he heard these two names, he didn't say anything more when he saw Sugar's happy expression. Instead, he continued to work with them on developing the alchemy circle.

Finally, an alchemical array that can automatically create the "Sugar Magic Storage Bag" has been developed. As long as the materials are put in, this small storage bag can be produced reliably.

Even the most advanced ones can only create half of it at most; the final enchanting stage requires a mage who has mastered either a "Private Chamber" or a "Magic Mansion" to personally handle it.

However, Sugar truly lived up to her extraordinary talent. She actually simplified Yunxiu's spell further, combining it with the [Enchanted Weapon] spell provided by Yunxiu, and directly reduced [Anti-Interference Anchoring Spatial Core Spell] to the level of 1st ring!

With the addition of a simplified version of the [Storage Rope] spell, the [Sugar's Magic Storage Pouch] was finally produced, with an internal volume of only 0.3 cubic meters and a load capacity of 200KG. It could only last for one year, but its advantage was its extremely low cost.

Yunxiu did the math and realized that this thing could be made using the lowest quality magical materials, meaning even a Hilichurl mask would be fine. The cost could even be kept below 3000 Mora, while considering the prices of monsters and adventure backpacks, this should be very popular at 20000 Mora...

Moreover, because the materials are cheap and the difficulty of the spell is greatly reduced, the alchemical array can produce this bag very quickly. According to his estimate, as long as enough materials are invested, producing two to three thousand bags a day is not a problem.

And most importantly, it's a consumable!

For safety reasons, you definitely can't use it until the very last moment; you'll need to replace it after about ten months.

For adventurers, this bag is much more convenient than the huge backpack they used to carry. Considering the cost of horses and pack animals, it is actually within an acceptable range. After all, a pack animal costs forty to fifty thousand Mora and is quite huge.

The final business arrangements were finalized with the assistance of a top lawyer from Liyue, whom Diluc had specially hired.

Watching the pink-haired girl with adorable antlers sitting quietly at the luxurious table in Diluc's living room, rapidly flipping through legal codes and drafting document after document, Yunxiu's head began to ache.

Is this circle a little too small...?

“Miss Yanfei is the best legal advisor in Liyue. It is said that she is also a descendant of a celestial being. In fact, she already has considerable experience in legal consultation.” Seeing Yunxiu’s strange look, Adeline continued to explain, “Of course, her consultation fee is also top-notch, but there’s no need to worry about that. Young Master Diluc has already paid all the fees.”

Of course I know she's a descendant of immortals, and I also know she's Xiangling's senior sister...

"Hmm." Yan Fei, who was writing a document, looked up at Yun Xiu with a playful look in her eyes and said, "Isn't this the great hero Yun Xiu, who saved Mondstadt and made an appointment with my junior sister Xiang Ling to meet her before leaving?"

"Senior Sister Yan..." Yun Xiu smiled brightly, "You know about this too?"

“A Mondstadt bard, who is said to be the best, wrote a poem that has now spread to Liyue Harbor.” Yanfei wrote the last few lines and began to sort out the order of the documents and handle the details. She continued, “So a few days ago, we set off. My master led us. They were going to Shenyu Valley to pick up Yao Yao first, so I came here first.”

"You don't have much time left."

"Senior sister, can you help me...?"

"Stop, stop." Yan Fei said with a headache while seriously processing the documents, "What I hate most are civil lawsuits involving marital breakdown and custody disputes. Moreover, immortals often incarnate and walk among mortals, so it's not strange if they occasionally spend a lifetime with a mortal. Legend has it that the Emperor himself incarnated countless times. I really have no clue how to deal with this kind of thing."

"Good luck to you." Yan Fei looked at Yun Xiu with pity and continued, "But I still want to congratulate you. With the support of the Yun family and Dawn Winery, you are really going to make a fortune this time. I have made a slight assessment, and judging from the current scale of adventurers in Liyue and Mondstadt, you should be able to earn more than one billion Mora in the first year."

If I'm alive to make money, I also need to be alive to spend it...

Although the profits were supposed to go to Sugar, promotion, development, and sales all required costs. After discussions among the agents and lawyers from several companies, it was ultimately decided that Qingce Manor Yun Family would be responsible for manufacturing and providing magical support, while Chenxi Winery would be responsible for building a sales network in various countries. These two companies would take a total of 40% of the profits, while Abedo, as the developer of the magic array and research consultant, would receive 10%.

The remaining 50% went to Sugar and Yunxiu. It wasn't until three months later, when the first payment arrived, that they realized how much money it was—far exceeding the billion-level figure Yanfei had mentioned.

Of course, for Yunxiu right now, the most important thing is to survive for at least three months...

To prevent Xia Li Miechen from leaving more holes in him, he needs to find a way to appease his childhood sweetheart...

As for Sugar, she didn't make Yunxiu waste too much effort. It wasn't because Yunxiu was particularly charming, but simply because Sugar felt that compared to the improvement and research of magic and knowledge, Yunxiu's flirtatious nature had no impact on her at all.

After Yunxiu promised to always stay by Sugar's side and to keep developing all sorts of new spells and alchemy with her, Sugar quickly accepted the reality that Yunxiu had a childhood sweetheart.

"Luckily, I was prepared..."

Yunxiu took out an exquisite Guoba doll, which was an improved version of the [Sugar's Magic Warehouse] that he and Abedo had carefully developed. It was forged using a beast realm king artifact, a perpetual mechanism and small pieces of Dvalin's scales in one go. With Abedo's spell, it created a demiplane comparable to the immortal grotto "Dust Song Pot"!

The interior, spanning thousands of meters in length and width, combined with extensive alchemical techniques and the magic cast by Abedo, maintains a perpetually spring-like climate.

Yunxiu moved a huge villa inside, along with several hundred acres of spiritual fields cultivated by alchemical mechanisms. It would definitely be a gift that Xiangling would love. Moreover, Yunxiu had specially used magic to solidify and develop many magical artifacts for preserving food and ingredients...

"Although it's still not as good as the Dust Song Pot, this is the limit I can achieve right now..."

If we really had to measure it by price, this Guoba doll would cost hundreds of millions of Mora just to produce!

A few days later, Abedo delivered more equipment made from Dvalin scales and silk feathers to Xiangling, and the gifts Yunxiu gave her became more and more numerous and precious.

Especially when that top-tier super defensive accessory with resistance to lightning, wind, and fire elements was delivered to him, even Abedo praised this super equipment.

Yunxiu believed that the price of these things could even buy an entire country, but she had no confidence that she could gain Xiangling's understanding.

Money and treasures can indeed solve most of the world's problems, but there are certainly some that money can't solve. However, the most regrettable thing is that the problem you most want to solve is often the one that money can't solve.

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

Finally, after three days of anxious anticipation from Yunxiu, the group landed directly at the entrance of Dawn Winery. The guards, who had been instructed beforehand, let them in.

"Xiuxiu!" A voice, still full of energy but tinged with worry, carried the blue-haired girl into Yunxiu's room and tightly embraced Yunxiu, who was suffering from a headache.

"Xiangling!" Yunxiu excitedly turned around and hugged Xiangling back, feeling the girl's delicate body and seeing her worried expression, she said, "Senior Sister Yanfei said you won't arrive for another day or two..."
