What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

Because the name of this dish is a whole, not 'almond', 'tofu'.

It is a dessert made from ground almonds.

The shape is exquisite and the color is as white as cream.

It looks fragile, but it actually has a tough texture.

As soon as you take a bite, the aroma of almonds and osmanthus syrup rushes straight into your nose and then heads to your brain, leaving a lingering taste on your lips and teeth.

"I like all of them."

"Me too, me too!"

Ying and Paimeng are not gourmets. They are the people who can only say useless words like "delicious" as described by the chef Brock who they met before.

After putting Mora down, Zhong Ling and the others finally had their breakfast. So where should they go next?

"Let's go to the prop shop and take a look?" Ying had long wanted to see the prop shop in Liyue. 'Those props can be sold for 300,000 in Mondstadt, but only 50,000 in Liyue. I really want to see how amazing it is that something can be sold for 300,000 in Liyue.'

Although the shield that Zhong Ling had taken out before was a one-time use, its defensive capabilities were really good.

If it is 50,000 Mora, it can indeed be considered a reasonable price.

"Well, I happened to have spent a lot of money recently." Zhong Ling planned to sell a few talismans.

Only by preparing for a rainy day can you remain calm when faced with a crisis.

"Well... I still have a lot of Mora, but if my brother doesn't become the Rock God... well, I'll ask my brother to get more Mora."

Although Morax said that Mora is his flesh and blood, in fact, this "flesh and blood" refers to rock.

The mixture of rock and the power of Morax creates Morax of various denominations.

Because Morax is the 'God of Contracts', no one would consider the possibility that Morane's power is not in line with the face value.

Moreover, it is completely impossible to fake it. Even ordinary people can understand as long as they touch Mora that the vague divine power on Mora is completely different from the elemental power controlled by humans.

B.12 Prop Shop

In fact, Zhong Ling is really very rich.

Let’s not talk about the Moras whose number has reached countless numbers.

Her 'Bailong Gorge Secret Realm' was set up under the 'Bailong Gorge' using the 'external scene technique'. It was her real residence, and contained piles of 'talismans' and 'alchemy cauldrons'.

Oh, by the way, the "Dan Ding" is not a medicine, and it does not have the function as described in those storybooks: "Only after swallowing a golden pill can I realize that my fate is not determined by heaven."

The so-called "art of alchemy" produces a very special alloy.

If the alloy containing immortal power is used to forge equipment, it will be able to give the weapons special powers.

Moreover, these alloys themselves possess extraordinary power. Even without forging, directly throwing out the golden elixir known as "Transformation between the Sea of ​​Fog and Clouds" can produce considerable effects. Not to mention that in the hands of some highly skilled blacksmiths, these golden elixirs can be cast into more powerful weapons.

After swallowing something like this, don't say anything like "my fate is not in the hands of God". It would be more practical to send it directly to the "Wangsheng Hall" and enjoy the preferential services of the "Wangsheng Hall".

However, Zhong Ling was not good at the "art of alchemy". The highest-grade alloy she could refine was the "golden elixir in the sea of ​​fog and clouds". As for the golden elixir called "returning", only a few of the immortals could refine it.

There are many magic arts in Liyue, and among them, Zhong Ling is best at "Talisman Art" and "External Scene Art".

In addition to the expensive "talismans" that can be sold, Zhong Ling also collected a lot of good things.

Good wine, calligraphy and painting, music scores, etc.

These things may not be so easy to sell in the six countries outside of Liyue.

However, if these things were to be spread into the mortal world, their prices would be raised to a level that ordinary people would find difficult to understand.

Apart from anything else, the prices of the calligraphy and paintings that are printed with the [Cangming Yuanjun Seal] are ridiculously high.

[Cangming Yuanjun Seal], like [Jiaoweiqin], is a "seal" that is one of the "Six Yuanjun Instruments" in Liyue legend.

According to legend, it possesses the power of [Cangming Yuanjun]. Anyone who holds this seal, even an ordinary person, can gain the power to call the wind and rain.

But in fact, the so-called [Cangming Yuanjun Seal] is just a simple jade seal carved by Morax himself (a practice work). Its function is really just to stamp, and even the ink has to be prepared by yourself.

By the way, when Zhong Ling got the seal, his first words were, "Brother, your aesthetic taste needs to be improved."

----

"Oh~ Is this the prop store in Liyue?" Looking at the super grand store in front of him, Ying sighed. "In terms of decoration, it is much more elegant than Mond."

Actually, that's not the case. The equipment store in Mond that they saw had a classic decoration style, giving people the feeling of going there to buy armor and the like.

There are many human models in the store, and various armors are covered on them.

Moreover, the props in Mond's prop shop tend to be "equipment", basically "shields that can generate wind shields", "gauntlets that can emit flames", "long swords that can trigger thunder", etc...

But it's different in Liyue. The prop shop here is more focused on "props".

In terms of types, there are 'talismans', 'jade pendants', 'protective badges', etc., which are easier to carry.

However, it is difficult to say which one is better or worse.

Mond's equipment is very stable because it is made of metal as its base. After the elemental power is exhausted, the equipment also has a certain defensive capability.

The props from Liyue are very easy to carry. When the power is equal, the size is only one percent of the Mengdi props. The disadvantage is... they are really expensive.

"Linglong, look at this amulet." Ying pointed at a amulet in the cabinet. "It's exactly the same as the one you bought in Mondstadt, and it only costs 100,000 Mora."

"One hundred thousand? That's quite expensive." Zhong Ling put her finger on her chin and looked at the badge.

The elemental power contained in the amulet is comparable to that of the amulet that was used for trial, so the quality is indeed guaranteed.

"Miss, the quality of the utensils we sell is top-notch," the clerk came over. "And they are small and easy to carry, so the price is higher than those large items. This is the difference in craftsmanship."

Liyue utensils are smaller, so the craftsmanship requirements are higher, so it is natural that they are more expensive.

"Well, being easy to carry is indeed a feature of Liyue's equipment." Zhong Ling nodded. "But, at 100,000, it is indeed a bit expensive."

"Paimeng, did you hear that? Linglong actually said it's expensive!" Ying was shocked and met Paimeng's gaze.

"Linglong actually said it's expensive!" Paimon's eyes were exactly the same as Ying's, full of disbelief.

In their eyes, Zhong Ling has always been the kind of person who is too lazy to even ask about the price.

Although she clearly understood the prices of these things, she would not bargain with anyone.

Simply put, if she thinks the price of an item is still within an affordable range, she will buy it directly.

"As I said in Mondstadt, the price of this item is only 50,000 Mora." Zhong Ling said as he looked at the shield. 'Even 50,000 is too expensive.'

The wind shield sealed by the shield is indeed a good defensive spell. As far as the price is concerned, 50,000 Mora is enough for this shield.

If you use talismans to seal this wind shield, the price can be further increased, and it will be no problem to sell it for 100,000 Mora.

"But when you were in Mondstadt, didn't you spend 300,000 to buy it?" Ying directly dismantled Zhong Ling's platform.

“These items need to be sent from Liyue to Mondstadt. The costs incurred will naturally be compensated by the price of the goods. Therefore, if purchased in Mondstadt, the price will increase a lot, although three hundred thousand is indeed expensive.” It’s nothing to be ripped off, Zhong Ling can fly.

"This item was made in Liyue. If it is sold locally, one hundred thousand is really too high."

"Miss, are you here to cause trouble?" The clerk's tone was a little unfriendly.

"I'm not looking for trouble." Zhong Ling shook her head. "Liyue's props are sold as 'lightweight and compact'. If they are made into shields, the price will naturally drop a lot. If they are drawn with talismans, a price of 100,000 Mora is within an acceptable range."

"Talisman?" The clerk was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. The clerk roughly understood that the girl in front of him was most likely the heir of a demon-hunting family and a young lady who had seen many talismans. The values ​​of this kind of people are usually different from those of ordinary people.

"Miss, the art of talismans is a secret art of the immortals. Today, it is hard to find traces of immortals in Liyue. Most of the methods of drawing talismans have been lost. Only the direct descendants of a few demon-killing families have inherited them."

"Moreover, the 'Art of Talismans' is extremely difficult to draw, and it is impossible to mass produce it, let alone sell it."

"Hmm?" Zhong Ling looked at the clerk and pondered for a moment. "Now, even the 'talisman technique' has been lost?"

B.13 About the inheritance of immortals

"This... Is this what it is?!" Ying, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly felt her DNA moving. "Isn't this going to be a slap in the face?!"

This feeling is really similar to the face-slapping plots in some novels I have read before.

Although the clerk was very polite, he maintained his attitude even after being "provoked" by Zhong Ling.

Well, this is also normal. Liyue Harbor is the commercial center of the Seven Kingdoms. As a service industry worker, attitude is very important.

With so many people coming and going every day, no one knows what their backgrounds are.

Therefore, politeness is really important! The more polite you are, the less blame you will get.

Although the clerk's tone was a little unfriendly for a moment just now, it was only for a moment.

The situation in novels, where a shop assistant can look down on others with condescension, probably won't happen in reality.

"Do you know why the art of talismans was lost?" Zhong Ling asked after thinking for a moment. "The immortals once taught the way to ordinary people."

Among ordinary people, those who can perform the "art of talismans" are not common, but they are not very rare either.

At that time, Liyue was still in the era of enlightenment.

The pure-hearted immortals are never reluctant to teach their magic to ordinary people.

They would even organize groups to open schools and teach all their magic skills to ordinary people, so that ordinary people would have the ability to protect themselves.

After all, it is impossible for immortals to protect mortals all the time.

"Girl, you..." The clerk was speechless for a moment, then laughed. "The reason why the 'talisman technique' was lost is nothing more than the word 'difficult to learn'."

“In the past in Liyue, the immortals taught many immortal arts to mortals like us. But how could the immortal magic be learned so easily?” The clerk spread his hands.

Indeed, the immortals never hesitate to give these things, but...the biggest difference between immortals and mortals is lifespan.

The knowledge accumulated by immortals during their long lifespans is naturally extremely profound. What is simple in the eyes of immortals is as difficult as ascending to heaven for ordinary people.

Apart from anything else, the runes in the "Art of Talismans" would take a lot of time for mortals to recognize and memorize them all, not to mention using them.

The magic spells taught by the immortals are indeed powerful, but there is nothing ordinary people can do if they cannot learn them.

'...' The reason given by the clerk made Zhong Ling feel headache.

When I was teaching the immortal skills, those mortals all looked like they understood.

The magic is performed in a very professional manner.

This made the immortals wonder, "How can ordinary people be so clever? The magic that we have accumulated over a long time, can ordinary people master it in such a short time?"

When I was teaching, everyone nodded as if they knew everything.

Occasionally ask, "What don't you understand?"

In the end, everyone just shook their heads and said, "I understand, I understand!"

So everyone is just pretending to know something or something?

"Why not persuade my brother to postpone his abdication for a while?" Zhong Ling suddenly felt that if Morax abdicated now, the common people might not be as capable of protecting themselves as they imagined.

When Zhong Ling saw the Liyue-produced shield in Mondstadt, he thought it was just a low-level product.

Although it is a low-grade product, the effect is good and the quality is acceptable.

Now when I ask...this thing has actually become the mainstay!

Moreover, the immortal methods once taught by the immortals have now been lost... No, maybe they never learned them in the first place.

In this case, after [Emperor Rock King] and [Cangming Yuanjun] both "die", if they encounter something beyond human control, they won't be able to take action openly.

Moreover, abdication cannot happen a second time. After all, even children understand the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

"Miss, do you have anything else to do?" The clerk thought that this girl probably wasn't going to buy anything.

Judging from her appearance, she might be the eldest daughter of a secluded family who wants to buy something similar to seek a breakthrough for herself.

But she didn't expect that the things sold outside were worse than what she knew.

"Well...it's okay." Zhong Ling shook her head. She originally wanted to sell some talismans.

Of course, she did not do it for Mora, but to spread the pure fairy talisman, intending to use this method to allow some people to find the way from the fairy talisman.

After all, things like inheritance will always be lost slowly over time and be supplemented by other things.

She felt that people's current 'talisman technique' was very different from the immortals' 'talisman technique'.

Now that the immortal talismans have been circulated, naturally someone will combine the advantages and disadvantages of the two and develop a new "talisman technique".

After all, "inclusiveness" has always been the philosophy that Liyue has been pursuing.

It's not that Zhong Ling is arrogant. Among the many immortals in Liyue, her "talisman technique" is also top-notch, so there is absolutely no problem in using it as a sample.
