"what?"

In the endless darkness, a hint of purple suddenly lit up and disappeared. Faintly, Yu Qi seemed to hear a soft moan, but when he wanted to listen carefully, there was no sound.

Just when he thought it was his illusion, a little white light suddenly appeared in the endless darkness under his feet, and then expanded rapidly until it filled Yu Qi's entire field of vision.

"Hu~" Yu Qi gently exhaled a breath, opened his eyes in a trance, the cold moonlight sprinkled from the top of his head, in front of his eyes was still a dancing flame, the molten iron was rolling in the furnace, the ore that was originally piled up like a mountain had already melted under the burning flame.

Glancing at the time, it was already 3:30 in the morning. It had been five or six hours since he sat cross-legged and practiced breathing techniques.

There is no time limit for practicing, this is true.

"What am I doing..." He looked down at his palm. His long fingers were as white as jade. He clenched them with a little force. The solid and powerful feeling made Yu Qi seriously doubt whether he could lift the huge stone lion beside him with one hand.

The most important thing is that Yu Qi can clearly feel the difference in himself. Compared with before, he feels less heavy and more light, just like the marrow cleansing and meridian clearing in the novels. His whole body feels exceptionally clear.

He stood up and moved around a bit, and felt light as if he had lost the constraints of gravity. The elemental power didn't change at all, and it didn't become more refined as described in the scroll.

However, Yu Qi could also understand it. After all, he had two elemental powers. The thunder elemental power came from the "tough soul" of the second star, which was itself inherited from Fushe, one of the immortal Yakshas. Needless to say, its purity was extremely high.

The grass elemental force comes from Samsung's "Food is the First Thing for the People", and is much purer than the lightning elemental force.

Naturally, simply practicing breathing exercises cannot have much impact on them.

But even so, this feeling of being reborn still made Yu Qi doubt the origin of this breathing technique. Is it really as Ganyu said - just the most widely spread basic technique?

"No, I have read the formula of this breathing technique carefully, and it is indeed very concise. Ganyu should not have lied to me. In other words, the problem is actually with me?!"

Looking down at his palm, Yu Qi quickly identified the only culprit that caused this change: "Is the ability of 'eating air' really so amazing? It's just that I have never been able to discover its true effect before. It's just that passive breathing can cause transformation.

Now that I have the breathing technique, the potential accumulated over the past half month has been released in one day, so I have this illusion of being 'reborn'?!"

Feeling that this guess was probably right, Yu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If this is true, then it would be fine. However, if this breathing technique is really some kind of profound and mysterious practice method, then Yu Qi would really have to wonder if he is being targeted by someone again.

Or maybe a certain Qilin took a fancy to me and sent me this spell on purpose, hoping to have a quarter-immortal child with me like her parents did?

A weird thought flashed through his mind. Yu Qi organized his thoughts, stretched his body to make sure there was nothing wrong with him, and then he turned his attention back to the Yi Qi stove in front of him.

It would be terrible if you didn't look at it, but it would be shocking if you looked at it. When Yu Qi used the magnetic field to lift up a ball of molten iron, he was slightly shocked.

At this time, the molten iron in the furnace had been burned by the flame for more than several hours. The long-term calcination not only expelled some impurities in the iron ore.

What's more crucial is that because of the rich spiritual energy contained in the Yiqi furnace itself, the molten iron is actually tainted with some spiritual charm, and can be called spiritual iron.

"This is an unexpected surprise."

However, what Yu Qi did not notice was that when he exerted the power of thunder element, a dim purple light appeared on the 'Heart of Thunder Wolf' around his neck, flickering slightly like breathing.

Chapter 65: Pink Fairy Takes the Lead

"Boss? Are you busy? Can I come in?"

Tiptoeing into the cave, Alicia stood at the door of the mansion and asked quietly. Her voice was so weak that even she could hardly hear it. After getting Yu Qi's "tacit consent", she smiled and gently pushed open the door in front of her.

The heavy partition door was pushed open a little, and a light pink light flashed by, erasing the friction sound between the door and the door frame. Alicia stepped sideways and tiptoed into the room.

then……

"!!!" As she entered the room, she was frightened by the sharp tip of the sword in front of her and almost screamed.

She covered her mouth tightly and after calming down a little, she noticed that the hall, which should have been filled with alchemical instruments, was now filled with all kinds of weapons.

In addition to common weapons such as swords, spears, halberds, bows, spears, and halberds, there are also weapons that are not very popular in Liyue, such as two-handed swords, heavy hammers, magic weapons, katana, naginata, etc. There are even strange weapons such as hidden blades, daggers, nine-section whips, soft swords, meteor hammers, throwing knives, etc.

It can be said that there is a dazzling array of everything; even with Alicia's knowledge, there are many weapons that she cannot recognize.

Of course, these are not the main points. Compared with these mass-produced cold weapons placed casually on the ground, the few weapons placed on the table deep in the hall almost made her scream out in surprise.

because……

"A pistol? That's a rifle? Wait, that's not an automatic cannon, is it? And that cannon barrel... it looks like a laser cannon to me."

Her face twisted slightly for a moment. It was hard for Alicia to imagine what Yu Qi had done all night. It would have been fine if he had made so many cold weapons, but how come he even made guns and cannons?

Let's not talk about Teyvat first. Liyue is still in the era of cold weapons. He made these...

"Hmm, that's quite interesting~"

"What's so interesting?" The sudden voice from behind startled Alicia. She instinctively jumped forward two steps. She staggered and fell straight into the pile of swords in front of her.

"Wow~" She let out a cry of surprise subconsciously, and looked at the sword that was stabbing straight at her. Alicia's eyes showed a hint of pink. Just as she was about to break the weapon in front of her, a hand stretched out from behind made her stop her action.

"Huh, I say, why are you reacting so strongly?" Reaching out and holding Alicia's waist, he pulled her back dangerously. Yu Qi looked her up and down in shock, and only heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not injured.

"Fortunately, I reacted in time, otherwise you would be lucky to be able to go to Bubulu to see Doctor Bai today! I don't want to go to Wangshengtang to buy Hutao's business for my own employees on the first day of opening."

"Woo~" Pouting a little aggrieved, Alicia leaned in Yu Qi's arms and couldn't help but whispered back, "It was you, the boss, who suddenly spoke behind my back, and that scared me."

As she spoke, she suddenly came to her senses, stood up straight, and looked at Yu Qi in front of her with some curiosity.

"By the way, Boss, where were you hiding before? Why didn't I notice you at all? And your aura..."

Looking Yu Qi up and down, Alicia keenly noticed the changes in Yu Qi. His temperament was much more low-key than before, and the refreshing breath that made people feel comfortable was also restrained.

In Alicia's perception, Yu Qi's aura was even weaker than that of a small insect.

But when I looked at him with my own eyes, I felt that Yu Qi in front of me was just an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary!

Blend in with the light and dust, this was the first word that came to Alicia's mind.

If we say that Yu Qi before, even standing in the crowd, was like a firefly in the dark night, particularly eye-catching in the eyes of people with keen perception like them.

So now, even if Yu Qi stood in front of others openly, they would just treat him as an ordinary object and ignore him at will. Only someone with extremely sharp perception like Alicia could easily focus their attention on him.

"Oh, as for me, didn't Ganyu say before that she would give me a secret technique to restrain my breath? Here, this is it." Spreading his hands, Yu Qi explained casually without mentioning the breathing technique explicitly.

"As for just now, I was in the Yi Qi furnace!" Yu Qi said with a smile, pointing to the huge cauldron behind him.

"Yi Qi Furnace? Boss, have you finally lost your mind and are planning to refine yourself?!" After making a joke, Alicia still looked at Yu Qi curiously, and later she couldn't help but poke his cheek with her hand.

"Huh? Why are you making such a fuss?" After dodging a few times and realizing he couldn't avoid it, Yu Qi looked at her helplessly. While enduring Alicia's poking and touching, he said, "Besides, what do you mean by being unable to get over it? I'm not that stubborn.

It's because the spiritual energy in the Qi furnace is particularly rich, which is very beneficial to my cultivation. Otherwise, do you think I can cultivate to this level in one night? "

"Oh, is that so?" Nodding casually to show that she understood, Alicia looked at Yu Qi's face with envy, and couldn't help but move closer to observe: "Boss, did you use any skin care products last night? How come your skin has become so good all of a sudden?!

It may not look like much, but it feels really smooth, better than my skin!"

Seeing Alicia's face getting closer and closer, Yu Qi shyly raised his neck to avoid the burning breath blowing on his neck, and whispered: "Well, you are too close! As for skin care products, I don't have any, probably the result of practice."

"Hmm? Boss, are you shy?" Looking at Yu Qi whose eyes seemed to be evasive, Alicia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an interested smile.

With her cheeks a little closer, Alicia raised her hand and gently pressed Yu Qi's head, then moved it to look at her: "Boss, don't be shy~ You can look at me more openly, after all, I'm looking at you too.

Come, let us get to know each other better!"

"..." Looking at the beautiful face so close, Yu Qi's face became a little stiff, his breathing became a little quickened, his eyes avoided and he dared not look at Alicia, he shouted: "Hey, don't do this, I'll be angry!"

"Hmm? Angry? Oh my... I really want to see you when you're angry, boss... Hmm?!"

The burning sensation from her lips interrupted Alicia's words. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief, staring blankly at Yu Qi's face in front of her. Their eyes met, and each other's appearance was reflected in their pupils.

Shyness, panic, and a little bit of anticipation...

Her eyes flickered, and Alicia closed them involuntarily. Her long eyelashes trembled constantly, but she did not show any resistance.

The arm that was originally on Yu Qi's cheek slowly went around to the back of his neck. The vast cave suddenly became quiet, with only the two people's rapid breathing intertwining with each other.

It was not until more than a minute later that Yu Qi, who had just tasted it lightly, raised his neck slightly, and the two of them finally woke up from their recent intoxication.

"Cough cough..." After a light cough, Alicia loosened her arm and took two steps back. Her pretty face was full of bright blush. She stirred with her ten fingers, lowered her head and said nothing.

Yu Qi, who was standing in the same place, pursed his lips slightly. The extreme softness, smoothness and sweetness seemed to still linger between his lips and teeth. It was a wonderful taste he had never experienced before.

Looking at the silent Alicia, he couldn't help but open his mouth and spoke first: "That..."

"Oh, right~" As if she understood what Yu Qi was going to say, Alicia decisively interrupted Yu Qi's words, turned around and pointed at the various guns and cannons in the house behind her, and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, boss, how did you make these things? Forging?

Besides, are you planning to sell them in the store? If you do that, you might be easily questioned by the Liyue executives!"

Her voice was as brisk as before, as if nothing had happened just now, but her elf ears, as red as roses, showed that her emotions were not as calm as they seemed.

Seeing Alicia like this, Yu Qi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to continue answering her questions.

"Oh, those are just models." Sighing, Yu Qi glanced at the various guns and cannons placed in the room, vaguely regretful: "I originally wanted to try to make guns and cannons that use elemental power as energy, but unfortunately, I am not very proficient in alchemy and ship equipment manufacturing.

Only some empty shells were produced, and they would explode when fired, so they have no real combat capability. "

It’s not that Yu Qi can’t make normal guns and cannons, but things like gunpowder don’t work very well in this world. It is very easily affected by the elemental forces in the air, and if you are not careful, it will fail to detonate.

Even if the interference of elemental forces is avoided and the detonation is successfully achieved, the power of the gunpowder explosion is not satisfactory.

This is also why Yu Qi thought of researching elemental thermal weapons. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

"It's a pity that we can't build ships yet. Otherwise, given their characteristics, we should be able to avoid this situation."

Shaking his head, Yu Qi did not continue to delve into this topic. Looking at Alicia's back, he asked, "By the way, Alicia, what is the matter with you coming to see me?"

"Boss, have you forgotten?" Stunned for a moment, Alicia couldn't help turning her head to look at Yu Qi, her eyes wandering: "Today is our opening day, I was going to ask you to get up and make some preparations, but you haven't refined the blood-recovering pills needed today.

There are already quite a few people outside the door, and it seems like they came specifically for our store, just waiting for it to open."

Of course, I wanted to take advantage of Yu Qi's busy work all night and do something to him while he was asleep, but I could never tell this reason to Yu Qi.

"Oh, by the way..." Alicia suddenly thought of something and asked softly, "Boss, you..."

Chapter 66: When the store name is not ready for opening

"Speaking of which, Boss, don't you think we have forgotten something?"

"Ah?!" Yu Qi, who was picking up the swords on the ground, looked back at Alysia in confusion and scratched his head: "Did I forget something?"

After thinking for a while, he suddenly clapped his hands: "Oh, right, I forgot to draw a card today!"

With this thought, he clicked on the card pool. As a flash of light passed, Yu Qi looked at the ten one-star cards. His expression was not too disappointed, but rather particularly subtle.

"One-star card: Grilled Pig Head Slime: A small slime with a pig head. I don't know who made it into food on a whim. After eating it, there is a high probability of getting the 'poisoned' buff."

"This thing..." Looking at the abstract picture of a slime that looked like a ball of shit on the card, Yu Qi's mouth twitched: "Even the dumbest Hill Culvert would not think of treating it as food, right?!"

Not only this, several other cards also have effects that make Yu Qi particularly speechless.

"One-star card: Nature's Fruit: A rare item born from the natural cycle. It can disguise itself as any plant fruit. After eating it, you will gain the buff 'Nature's Grace'. The life form will cycle through the four stages of 'germination, flowering, fruiting, and withering' every year."

Looking at the half-bright and half-rotten pattern of an unknown fruit on the card, Yu Qi's mouth twitched, but he couldn't help feeling a little curious and an urge to research.

Because, according to the detailed information from this card, after receiving the grace of nature, every stage you have to go through will be automatically stored in the depths of your soul. Even if you are killed out of thin air, as long as there is a little bit of your corpse left, you will grow a brand new self in the 'germination' stage of the second year and be reborn!

It can be said that it is the perfect 'elixir of life'!

If this thing was given to Bai Zhu before he met Yu Qi, it would be quite suitable.

Of course, the premise is to ignore its side effects - humans in the state of Nature's Grace will become as stiff as plants, and after each cycle, they will be "resurrected" in the "germination" stage of the second year, with a brand new consciousness that possesses all the memories of their previous "self"!

In other words, the personality has been reset!

This drawback is also the biggest reason why it is only a one-star card.

Anyway, Yu Qi couldn't accept that he had inexplicably become another "self".

Therefore, this thing is just like the grilled pig head slime. It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. It can only be piled up in the inventory as inventory. Maybe when Yu Qi remembers it one day, he will take it out and find a way to use it up.

Not knowing what kind of mess Yu Qi had drawn today, Ailisa was quite helpless about his answer and raised her hand to poke his forehead.

But as soon as her fingertips touched Yu Qi's skin, she suddenly paused, as if she remembered something, and her face turned red.

Withdrawing her hand somewhat angrily, Alicia glanced over and complained nonchalantly: "It's a signboard, it's a signboard!"

"Boss, haven't you noticed that our store doesn't even have a sign of its own? We don't even have a store name. Even if customers have heard of our name, they wouldn't know how to find our store!"

"Oh, that's right!" Yu Qi suddenly realized and slammed his palms: "I was wondering why I always feel like something is missing, but I can't remember it! You have a good memory, Alicia."

"Humph, of course! A tip from Alicia: You can rely on Alicia as much as you want, and she will respond to you with her whole heart and soul!"

Ai Lishiya puffed up her chest with pride, completely forgetting that if she hadn't met those people who came to buy blood-recovering pills when she opened the door just now and asked her, "Is this the place where blood-recovering pills are sold? Why is there no store name?", she would never have thought of such a thing!
