"But that's not realistic..." Thinking of this, Yu Qi shook his head slightly. The time and energy required would be too enormous. For him, it was not worth it just to analyze the reality of nature.
"Otherwise, let's go back and ask Zhongli if he has anyone to recommend. Well, it would be best if it's an immortal."
As the immortals of Liyue with a long heritage, it should be no problem to find a few who are proficient in alchemy, right? !
However, just as Yu Qi was hesitating and considering whether to do so, a gust of wind suddenly sounded outside the door of the alchemy workshop, and then the door that was not closed was gently pushed open.
"Yo ho~"
Wendy poked her head in through the crack in the door, shook her green hat, and smiled brightly: "Oh, I think I heard someone is in trouble. Do you need me, the wind god, to give you some guidance?"
"?!" With a frown on his face, Yu Qi casually put the notebook on the table, looked at Wendy standing at the door with a smile, and complained: "Where did you come from?"
"Didn't you say before that you would go find that old friend today and ask for some advice?"
Smelling the strong smell of alcohol on Wendy, Yu Qi's tone was so strange: "How come you have time to come back now? Could it be that your 'old friend' finally had enough of your harassment and sent you back?"
"Oh, don't say that." Completely ignoring the sarcasm in Yu Qi's words, Wendy walked into the alchemy workshop, bringing a refreshing breeze that blew away the foul air that had accumulated in the room over the past few days.
"I am doing this for everyone's good. After all, a useless person like me, mixed in with several immortals, Mei, Nashida and others, can't help at all. Even if I just give them some advice, it will only cause trouble for them."
"But if I just sit there and don't say a word, I'll get bored."
Wendy shrugged and glanced at the Natural Fact on the alchemy table, then continued with a normal expression: "So, for everyone's sake and for the sake of the ritual, I can only take the opportunity to ask for advice and slip away."
"Haha, you are quite self-aware." Rolling his eyes, Yu Qi did not really mean to blame Wendy. He just complained a few words because he couldn't stand it.
"So, why did you come back this time? Have you finished composing the poems for the performance? Or have they finished modifying the ritual?"
"Well, as for the poems, they have already been prepared." Wendy took out a stack of music scores from thin air and waved them at Yu Qi: "Do you want to see them?"
"No thanks~"
"Well, that's really sad. I wanted to share my creative story and inspiration with you."
Shrugging her shoulders, Wendy said with regret, but her face was calm as she put the music score back. She then said, "As for why I came back this time, I've already said it before. It was because I heard someone say that they were in trouble and needed guidance from me, the God of Wind!"
"Guide?" Yu Qi frowned. He naturally understood what Wendy meant. After looking him up and down, he asked doubtfully, "Do you know the alchemy of 'creation' or 'life'?"
If you think about it carefully, as one of the only two first-generation gods in power today, Venti, who has a lifespan of thousands of years, might have actually studied alchemy in order to pass the time!
When he thought of this, Yu Qi's eyes couldn't help but become a little more eager.
"Uh~ That's not my area of expertise." Feeling a little embarrassed by Yu Qi's gaze, Wendy quickly waved her hands: "I'm only interested in music, poetry and art. Alchemy is too complicated for me!"
"Oh~" The look in his eyes dimmed instantly. Yu Qi looked at him again and said nothing, but his meaning was expressed very clearly.
Then what are you talking about?
"Hey, don't be discouraged. Although I don't know alchemy, I know someone who does. And he happens to be the alchemy master of the 'Creation' field that you need!"
"Oh!!" Yu Qi was shocked and suddenly looked up at the temperate zone. Then he remembered that as the god of wind, he was theoretically the person who was most proficient in intelligence in the entire continent of Teyvat.
Finding an alchemist who meets Yu Qi's requirements is not a simple task.
"Who? Where?" He asked excitedly. Although Yu Qi would not trust a stranger he had never met before, it did not prevent him from thinking of this as a hope!
"Hmm, it's so close yet so far away! It's right here in Mondstadt!" Wendy straightened her body with some pride, and said with an especially proud tone: "Albedo, the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, is a top alchemist master in all of Teyvat."
"With the power of one person, he raised Mond's alchemy attainments from nothing to a level second only to the Xumi Order Academy, and his greatest skill is the method of creation."
"How is it? It meets your requirements!"
"Such a coincidence?!" Yu Qi raised his eyebrows, vaguely feeling that it was too much of a coincidence.
I just needed someone who was proficient in the alchemy of "Creation", and Wendy recommended a perfect and suitable person.
Such a coincidence made Yu Qi recall what happened a few days ago when he had just arrived in Liyue.
If Yu Qi hadn't known that Wendy couldn't have foreseen that he would travel to Teyvat and that he would now need an alchemist who was proficient in the "method of creation", he couldn't help but wonder whether he had deliberately promoted this coincidence.
"This should really be just a coincidence." He shook his head. Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of the rope for ten years. Even Yu Qi is no exception.
"So, Wendy, you mean to introduce me to Mr. Albedo?"
"Of course."
Nodding, Yu Qi was not surprised. Since Venti dared to bring up the matter of Albedo, he must have been prepared.
"So, where is Mr. Albedo now? If possible, I hope to meet him sooner."
Although they were still strangers to each other, since it was Wendy who introduced them, Yu Qi thought it would be better to meet and get to know each other first.
We'll see when the time comes and decide whether to ask him to help analyze the reality of nature.
"Oh, if we talk about meeting Albedo..." However, this time, Wendy frowned in embarrassment: "That would be a bit troublesome."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"Although Albedo is the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, he does not usually live in Mondstadt. Instead, he prefers to stay in his alchemy workshop on the Dragonspine Snow Mountain."
At this point, Wendy spread his hands helplessly: "The Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, how should I put it, is not a very friendly place for me personally."
Although as the God of Wind, he can theoretically command thousands of winds, but there are always some winds that are exceptions and completely ignore Wendy.
For example, there is the violent 'Fierce Wind' that was once controlled by a former lord of Mondstadt, and there is the cold 'North Wind' that was controlled by another demon god!
"Plus, he likes to go out to look for materials or inspiration all the time, so it's hard for me to find him."
Hearing this, Yu Qi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but complain: "...Isn't your Wind God a little too useless?"
"Hehe~" Wendy smiled without any embarrassment, not caring about this kind of complaint: "Of course, I was talking about the past. Now, because of the riot of the monsters in Mondstadt, Albedo is actually helping to guard the city of Mondstadt."
"However, that is why he won't be able to spare the time to come to Liyue and help you in the short term!"
"..." Rubbing his brows, Yu Qi couldn't help but glare at Wendy who was snickering. Although he wanted to complain about him for speaking half-sentences, he also knew that what Wendy said made sense.
At this critical juncture, Mondstadt's combat power was already insufficient, so how could they allow Albedo, one of the top combat powers, to come to Liyue for such a small matter.
"So..." Yu Qi sighed and nodded: "I have to go to Mondstadt, right?"
After looking at Wendy, Yu Qi finally realized what was going on. He probably came here and had such a conversation today for this very reason.
"Look, this is a good idea. Once we have the ceremony ready, you, Raidenjin, Nashida and the others can go to Mondstadt to attend the Wine Festival."
Clapping his hands, Wendy said with an expression that said, "What a coincidence!" "You can also ask Albedo for advice along the way."
After looking at Wendy deeply, Yu Qi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll trouble you then."
"Hehe, then it's settled. I'll be leaving first. I'll go see how Master Liuyun and the others are doing with the ritual modification."
Nodding happily, after achieving her goal, Wendy stood up and was about to leave Yu Qi's alchemy workshop.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into a tall figure.
"Old man?!"
"Huh? You, a drunkard poet, didn't you go to the wine shop to drink today?" Zhongli raised his eyebrows and looked at Wendy in surprise, then looked at Yu Qi: "I'm sorry, I saw that there was no one in the shop just now, so I came in without being invited. I'm intruding here, please forgive me."
"It's okay. I'm so happy that Mr. Zhongli is here. How can I blame him?" Yu Qi stood up with some surprise and led Zhongli in. He glanced at Wendy who was suddenly not ready to leave and asked, "I wonder, Mr. Zhongli came to me this time for..."
"I'm here for the trip that I agreed to have with Mr. Yu Qi."
Chapter 157: Worsening Condition (Year-end Monthly Ticket Request)
"Travel?!" Yu Qi was obviously stunned when he heard Zhongli talking about this matter, and then he suddenly recalled: "Oh, yes, Mr. Zhongli, you told me about it last weekend. You said you were going to treat your friend, right?"
"Yeah." Zhongli was not angry because of Yu Qi's forgetfulness. His expression remained calm. He nodded lightly and told him his request again.
"As I said last week, with the help of the treasures I got from Mr. Yu Qi these days that can cleanse consciousness, awaken memories, and stabilize the soul, my friend's consciousness, which was originally gradually becoming confused, has improved significantly."
"In two days at most, the final stage of treatment will be reached. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Yu Qi to accompany me and observe the treatment of my friend. I would like to use your natural aura to reconcile the possible mental problems of my friend."
"Friend?" Wendy raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhongli subconsciously, "Hey, Ruotuo?"
Zhongli nodded silently, responding to Wendy's doubts.
"Hiss~" Wendy couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. She widened her beautiful eyes, her blue pupils full of shock: "What kind of magic medicine can even cure wear and tear?"
"Yeah, I see." Nodding, not noticing Wendy's strangeness, Yu Qi patted his head a little embarrassedly: "Look at my memory."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhongli, I've been so busy lately that I accidentally forgot about this matter. If you hadn't reminded me specifically, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered it by then."
It’s actually not a big deal if you can’t remember, but the key point is that Yu Qi had already signed a verbal contract with Zhongli.
In Teyvat, even the most common magic contracts would be blessed by the Rock King. If a contract was breached, there would be corresponding punishment. So if one violated the contract made with the Rock King himself...
Shivering slightly, Yu Qi couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Although with his current connections and the protection of the two goddesses and Alicia, he is not very afraid of the punishment of the Cricket Contract, but if that happens, he will be the one in the wrong no matter what, and it will easily ruin the friendship he has worked so hard to establish with Zhongli.
Therefore, if you can avoid breaching the contract, it is better not to do so.
"No problem." Shaking his head, Zhongli glanced at the curious Wendy and continued, "Besides, I came to you this time not just to remind you, Mr. Yu Qi, but because there was something else going on with this matter, so I had to come to you for help."
"Uh, Mr. Zhongli, please tell me. As long as it is possible, I will do my best to help." He did not finish his words. Seeing that Zhongli seemed a little hesitant, Yu Qi felt a little puzzled.
What kind of accident had happened that forced Zhongli to come to him for help? Could it be that his friend's condition had worsened?
"Thank you very much." After thanking him first, Zhongli said with his hands behind his back, "To be honest, this matter was caused by me."
"Didn't Mr. Yu Qi give me a piece of tea a few days ago? According to my observation, that piece of tea is not ordinary. The 'memories' contained in it can also help my friend's illness."
"So, after we parted, I went to my friend's place first and fed him tea leaves, Zhuoyin Spring water, Yuanyang Pills and other treasures one by one."
"But I never thought that although the 'memories' contained in the tea leaves were extremely beneficial to my friend, they would eventually backfire. He is still recovering from a serious illness and his self-awareness is still a little muddled. He took too many spiritual medicines and treasures at once, and he was eventually unable to take the supplements."
"Since yesterday, his consciousness has been completely confused. It's even worse than at the beginning. Now he can hardly even recognize me."
"What? It turned out like this?!" Yu Qi cried out in surprise, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhongli..."
"No, this is not Mr. Yu Qi's fault. I was too hasty." Zhongli sighed, but there was no self-blame in his eyes. Instead, he seemed a little happy: "But, perhaps it is a blessing in disguise. Before coming here, I treated that friend again."
"Although he is now completely unconscious, the condition inside his body has not deteriorated. On the contrary, it has greatly improved. The power of the treasure he took before is accumulated deep in his soul. With some powerful stimulation, this power can be released, thus completely eradicating his stubborn illness."
"Can it be like this?" He was shocked again. Yu Qi did not expect that there would be such a sudden turn of events. It could be said to be a miracle.
"Then, Mr. Zhongli, did you ask me to come this time because you wanted to..."
"Yes, I want to buy another batch of Zhuo Yin Spring Water and Yuan Yang Pills from Mr. Yu Qi. In addition, I wonder if Mr. Yu Qi has any stock of the spiritual crystals he recently extracted. I also want to buy a batch."
"Well... I wonder how many shares of these things Mr. Zhongli needs?"
"Well, a hundred or so of Zhuo Yin Spring Water and Yuan Yang Pills will do, and at least thirty of the Spirit Crystals will be needed."
"That's a bit troublesome." Yu Qi spread his hands helplessly and sighed: "This is really unfortunate. Mr. Zhongli must also know about the accident that happened to me a few days ago."
"nature."
"In that accident, all the stocks I had accumulated were destroyed. The output of Yuanyang Pills was quite a lot, and I accumulated a lot in three days. It is more than enough to sell a hundred to you, Mr. Zhongli."
"The key is the Zhuo Yin Spring Water. We can't collect that many in three days."
"This..." After a moment's silence, Zhongli looked up and asked, "I wonder how many bottles of Zhuo Yin Spring Water does Mr. Yu Qi have in his hand?"
"Hmm..." After a brief calculation, Yu Qi raised one hand and opened it: "Fifty portions, this is the most I can offer."
It’s not that only this much spring water was produced in three days. The main reason is that the other Yu Qi still has to supply Qiqi, Hu Zhaigong and Lei Dianzhen. Their current situation cannot be separated from the Zhuoyin Spring Water and Yuanyang Pill for the time being.
These fifty copies were the maximum number that Yu Qi could come up with after careful calculation.
"Fifty copies..." After a moment, Zhongli nodded: "Okay, fifty copies is a little less, but it should be enough."
"Huh, these are Zhuoyin Spring Water and Yuanyang Pills. Please keep them safe, Mr. Zhongli. As for spiritual crystals, please wait a moment. I will help you refine them." He waved his hand and took out a bunch of jars and medicine bottles. Because the warehouse had not been rebuilt in the past two days, in order to avoid any accidents, all the things harvested in the winter were sent to Yu Qi for storage.
Walking to the spare alchemy table, Yu Qi began to work enthusiastically. Pieces of transparent spiritual crystals continued to condense in his hands, and soon he met the number required by Zhongli.
"In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Yu Qi." After putting away the things Yu Qi handed over one by one, Zhongli thanked him sincerely.
"You're welcome. Mr. Zhongli has helped me a lot before, so this is nothing."
Nodding, Zhongli didn't say anything more. After thinking for a while, he took out another scroll and handed it to Yu Qi: "Earlier, after the two True Lords Liuyun Jiefeng and Xueyue Zhuyang returned, they told me what happened to Mr. Yu Qi."
"I feel very guilty for the troubles the two immortals have brought to you, so I have been reading ancient books these past two days and found a formation that should be able to relieve Mr. Yu Qi's worries."
"Oh?" Yu Qi took the scroll with some curiosity and opened it. The various complex patterns, strange symbols, and the obscure ancient name made him dizzy.
But considering that this was specially prepared by Zhongli for him, he still forced himself to continue reading.
After reading the entire scroll hastily, Yu Qi raised an eyebrow and his eyes fell on a line of text at the beginning of the scroll: "The Great Array of Falling Clouds, a formation used to conceal the sense of existence? Without the permission of the master of the formation, no one can discover the obscured things?"
