Chapter 21 Day 5 of Watching a Play in Liyue
The wilderness of Liyue isn’t actually very safe, but it’s not difficult to find a secluded place. After all, they only need a...pot that can produce elemental reactions?
“Maybe no container is needed.”
Shui Qingli said, stretching out his hand, which held a huge water ball.
“The water itself is the most perfect container.”
He is the master of flowing water. He can mobilize the water as smoothly as using his own limbs. Water is invisible, but he can give the water flow form.
It was made into a water dragon simply because it is the most convenient way to attack.
“…How magical!”
The last time Paimon saw such a magical scene was at the Cretaceous alchemist, Teacher Albedo. She saw with her own eyes Albedo controlling a flower from blooming to withering.
The owner of the Eye of God can mobilize and use elemental power, but few can control the purest elemental power as freely as Shui Qingli.
Most of them are accustomed to giving elemental characteristics to weapons and then producing related elemental reactions. Even Albedo's transformation technique should belong to the category of alchemy rather than the manipulation of elemental forces.
"This is... pure water elemental power. There is no leakage at all. Even if other elemental powers are added, it will not cause a large-scale elemental reaction. My friend's control is also excellent among those I have ever seen in my life."
Zhongli stroked his chin and said admiringly.
His guess was indeed correct. Even if this young friend was not a creature from the continent of Teyvat, in his own world, he should be... a natural devil-like existence.
Moreover, he is emotionally stable, has no ill will towards humans, and does not seem to be a threat to Liyue.
Even the Geo King, who was planning to retire, would not watch a man who looked like a demon wandering around Liyue every day, otherwise why would he allow Shui Qingli to follow him.
"Thank you sir."
Emperor Daddy praised me! He praised me! Thank you Prince Water! Thank you my bestie! Thank you Mi... Oh, forget about this.
Sora felt something was wrong.
Why does Qingli seem to respect Mr. Zhongli? When they were in Mondstadt, he was indifferent to Venti.
Although Wendy does not look like the God of Wind, he is a god after all.
Hmm, why does Wendy seem so pitiful?
But when he thought about how he was fooled by Wendy's acting skills, Kong lost his sympathy.
"Sora, let's do the experiment quickly."
Since you don't even have to look for a container, it really saves a lot of effort. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find a sturdy pot that can withstand elemental reactions.
There are many hill people in Dadaupa Valley, so it would be nice to avoid a lot of trouble.
Shui Qingli was not bragging, his elemental control ability was indeed very good. Under his control, the water mass did not evaporate and disappear due to the flames, nor did it burn the sample as thin as a cicada's wing.
In short, with his help, Kong was able to select the best quality Yebo Stone fragments, which is cause for celebration.
The next step is to make the ointment for offering, and to make the ointment, you need high-quality colorful flowers.
When Zhongli said, "So, do you have money?", Kong was already able to step forward very calmly and then skillfully start negotiating and bargaining with the boss.
As a traveler, the best thing is to adapt to local customs.
The first time he was stupid enough to just give the boss whatever he asked. Now he has learned to use various advantages to negotiate with the boss like many Liyue people. Of course, he is still a little naive.
When Bo Lai, the owner of Wanyou Shop, heard them mention that these flowers were for the immortal sending ceremony of Emperor Yanwang, his face immediately changed.
"Wait, are you going to present these flowers to Lord Yan? Oh, you should have told me earlier. I also heard bad news after the fairy-inviting ceremony. If it's for Lord Yan, I won't charge you for these flowers. Just give them as a token of my appreciation."
There is no one in Liyue who does not respect the Geo King, and Bolai is no exception.
Therefore, under the prestige of the Rock King, they obtained three high-quality colorful flowers without spending a single mora.
The next step is to make perfumed ointment. Making perfumed ointment is a traditional craft in Liyue, but not everyone can do it. Making incense is an elegant thing, but most people only know how to use incense and don’t know how to make it.
I'm talking about a guest who seems to be very knowledgeable when talking about theory but is completely confused when it comes to production.
Zhongli looked innocent.
"I don't usually use perfume on a daily basis, so I know very little about the perfumes used by women."
Shui Qingli haha, did not expose the old man.
The Geo King has transformed into countless forms and lived for such a long time, so how could he not know anything about incense making? It would be better to say that he did not want to face Liyue's best incense-making master and Liyue's car god, so he completely handed this task over to Kong.
He had suspected this before when he was playing games.
"what should I do then?"
Paimon was in a panic. He couldn't find a perfume maker. Should he let the travelers make it themselves? But there was only one of each kind of such good Neon Flower. If they made it badly, where could they find such good flowers again? They couldn't expect the owner of the Wanyou Shop to give them a few more, right?
"Why don't we go ask someone on the street?"
Sora rarely refused what Paimon said, not only because she was the guide who spoke for him, but also because the boy had a soft heart and treated everyone the same.
Whatever you ask for, you will get it.
He doesn't look like a mortal, but more like... a god.
"Whatever you ask for, you will get it. With his personality, although it's easy for him to make friends, it's also easy for him to get into trouble."
Looking at the boy's gradually disappearing back, Zhongli suddenly spoke, and it was obvious that he was talking to the young man next to him.
No, he just didn't miss any opportunity to obtain resources. When he was playing games in his previous life, he wanted to dig up the continent of Teyvat eight or ten times just for a few raw stones.
Shui Qingli complained in his heart with an expressionless face. Of course, in reality, when he saw Kong, he could still see that he was indeed a boy with a soft and kind heart who loved to help others.
Of course, reward is also a very important point. After all, without reward, the traveler would not be able to support Paimon, who is becoming more and more greedy. The most pitiful thing is that he has to make money while looking for his sister.
Oh, I can’t think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more sad I feel for Kong Bao.
"Although it's troublesome, there are always people willing to help him. Therefore, he can become a variable and accomplish things that ordinary people can't do."
"Emperor, don't you think so?"
"..."
The golden pupils stared at him. It was the gaze of a god. There was no surprise in it, only the power of a god.
The one standing here at this moment was not the guest official of the Rebirth Hall, but the Geo King of Liyue - Morax.
