Chapter 311: What?! The heaven-deficient symptoms of the Xianzhou are inscribed in their genes and cannot be cured for life?!
[Yoimiya: Being able to guide Bai Lu, she shouldn't be a bad person, right? Compared to this, Dan Shu's comfort towards Xiao Yu is perhaps too harsh.]
[Yae Miko: Just as Dan Shu said, what she said to Xiao Yu wasn't comfort, it was simply reality.]
[Alhaitham: Everything ultimately comes down to Xiao Yu's identity as a heaven-deficient person.]
[Nahida: heaven-deficient… someone born with a certain defect. Could heaven-deficient refer to someone whose body has a disease that cannot be repaired?]
Seeing Xiao Yu nearly attacked by the monsters, Stelle, Neuvillette, and the others no longer hesitated.
They summoned their weapons and launched attacks on the monstrous creatures.
Under the combined attacks of the few people, the monstrous creatures were quickly cleared away.
"Are you two alright?"
Stelle retracted her baseball bat and came before Dan Shu and the little girl.
"We're fine, just some scrapes."
"With the physique of the Xianzhou, we will recover quickly."
"It's Xiao Yu who was a bit startled."
Dan Shu looked at the little girl named Xiao Yu in her arms and said.
"Wuwuwu, it's all my fault."
"If it wasn't for me, Sister Dan Shu wouldn't have gotten hurt either."
Xiao Yu said with tears streaming down her face, looking guilty.
"I'm fine, it's just some minor injuries."
"And don't forget, I'm also a medical practitioner."
Dan Shu patted Xiao Yu's head and placed her on the ground.
"But when I think about how much trouble I've caused Sister Dan Shu, and the older sister and older brothers, I feel ashamed."
Xiao Yu rubbed her eyes and said.
"It's no trouble, no trouble."
"I just lent a hand, you don't need to worry about it."
Hu Tao waved her hand and said.
"That's right, you shouldn't feel concerned, Xiao Yu."
"Instead, you should get used to it as soon as possible."
Dan Shu said with a serious expression.
"Eh?"Xiao Yu looked up, puzzled.
Xing, Hu Tao, and the others also looked at Dan Shu, confused.
Although they didn't mind helping Xiao Yu, Dan Shu's words made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Dan Shu took a deep breath and said:
"Because in the hundreds, even thousands of years to come…"
"heaven-deficient like us will continue to burden everyone we meet."
"If this tiny bit of guilt makes you sad, then it's better not to take even a single step on this long journey."
Hearing this, Xing couldn't hold back.
"Dan Shu, is this your way of comforting her?"
Xing asked
."Yeah, aren't you being a bit too harsh?"
Hu Tao said, hands on her hips.
Dan Shu shook her head, looking towards Stelle and Hu Tao.
"There's nothing that can be done; after all, this is the curse that the heaven-deficient must bear."
Dan Shu said.
"So, what exactly is the situation with the heaven-deficient?"
"Can people who are heaven-deficient truly not be cured?"
Hu Tao asked, her brows tightly furrowed.
"Heaven-deficiency is incurable."
Dan Shu shook her head, looking at Xiao Yu.
"Especially heaven-deficient like me and Xiao Yu, who cannot see with both eyes, can only walk alone in darkness for an entire lifetime."
"She will always fear the sudden obstacles that appear when walking on the road.""
She will also fear when she cannot comprehend what others describe they have seen and heard."
"Everyone and everything will be like being shrouded in dark charcoal, unseen yet burning her and me."
"Such a life, for Xiao Yu, who is a long-lived species, will last for nearly a thousand years."
"She must learn to endure it herself, rather than fantasizing about anyone's help."
Hearing this, Qiqi, Hu Tao, and the others felt a sense of loss.Baizhu also sighed inwardly
.For Teyvat people who only live for about a hundred years,
A lifetime shrouded in darkness is already suffocating enough.
If one has to live in darkness for thousands of years, like the Xianzhou long-lived species,
Enduring the pain that intermittently appears in the darkness, just thinking about it made Hu Tao and the others feel a shiver.
"But aren't you helping her?"
"There will always be people willing to help her in the future, right?"
At this moment, Xing's voice entered the ears of Hu Tao and the others, causing them to involuntarily look at Dan Shu.
A trace of realization flashed across Dan Shu's face, as if she had fallen into some memory.
After a moment, she sighed and said:
"I am indeed trying to change the situation for people like her."
"But this requires time, before I achieve sufficient results."
"She must first learn to endure the darkness, just like me."
With that, Dan Shu turned around and said to Baizhu, Hu Tao, and the others:
"It's too dangerous here, let's return to Exalting Sanctum first."
"After sending Xiao Yu home, I will answer everything you want to know."
"Whether it's about the heaven-deficient or anything else."
Hearing this, Neuvillette, Hu Tao, and the others naturally did not object and returned along the original path.
Midway, Dan Shu left first to go to the medical clinic; she was going to prepare medicine for Baizhu and the others.
Neuvillette, Hu Tao, and the others, meanwhile, escorted Xiao Yu home
.By the time Neuvillette and Hu Tao returned to the medical clinic, Dan Shu had already been waiting for a while.
On the table in front of her were neatly packaged medicines.
"You're back."
Dan Shu sat on a stool, looking up at Hu Tao and the others who were entering through the doorway.
"Ms. Dan Shu, we have already sent Xiao Yu home."
Baizhu walked up to Dan Shu and said.
Dan Shu nodded. She didn't directly hand the prepared medicine to Baizhu and the others, but rather spoke to everyone in a conversational manner:
"Thank you all for your hard work this time."
"heaven-deficient like us are inevitably bullied when young."
"It is precisely because of this that I said those words to Xiao Yu that sounded very harsh to your ears."
"If I could, I wouldn't want to say such things to a child."
"But these words are merely like a gentle breeze compared to what she will experience in the future."
"I… just wanted Xiao Yu to be mentally prepared earlier."
Upon hearing this, and thinking about what might happen to Xiao Yu,Even the usually carefree Hu Tao fell silent for a moment.
"Oh, by the way, this is the gift I promised to give you."
"After studying the prescription you provided me, Baizhu, I had a small inspiration."
"I formulated a medicine for longevity and health, referencing relevant historical documents."
"I named it "Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew," and it should have quite a special effect for you short-lived species."
"I think it might be able to more than double your lifespans."
As she spoke, Dan Shu pushed a box of medicine on the table towards Baizhu.Baizhu opened the box, and immediately, a medicinal fragrance wafted out.
Everyone looked closely and saw five pills arranged in the box,Just enough for Baizhu, Hu Tao, Qiqi, Neuvillette, and Xing who were present.
[Yae Miko: Only 5 pills? It seems that those of us who didn't act with Neuvillette and Baizhu won't get any.]
[Mona: After all, Dan Shu doesn't know of our existence, so she naturally wouldn't prepare this medicine for us.
But, did she really manage to refine this divine "Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew" so quickly?]
[Tighnari: More than doubling one's lifespan, this… can it really be done?]
[Chef Mao: If this medicine can truly achieve such a thing, then it is undoubtedly a divine medicine.]
[Schubert: Damn it, why didn't I get this medicine?]
[Eula: Uncle, it's still uncertain whether this medicine has such effects.
This Dan Shu formulated this Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew based on the Dragons Ascent prescription.]
[Amber: Yes, yes, and it's still not certain if Dan Shu is from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.]
[Schubert: Hmph, what do you, a traitor to the Lawrence family, know, and that reconnaissance knight too!]
[Schubert: Since this Dan Shu was able to selflessly rescue Xiao Yu, how could she be a bad person?
Moreover, Dan Shu is an Elders, so her medical skills are naturally quite superb.
Refining this "Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew" from part of the Dragons Ascent prescription certainly wouldn't be difficult.]
[Schubert: A divine medicine that can more than double one's lifespan, just thinking about it is incredibly exciting!]
[Lisa: Oh dear, she didn't even go to Xianzhou, but what's with this inexplicable confidence?]
[Morax: From a universal rational perspective, it is better to be prudent.]
[Wanyan: But... but if this medicine can really strengthen the body and extend one's lifespan by more than double, wouldn't it be a waste not to take it?]
As a follower of the God of Salt, Wanyan also had some doubts about the "Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew."
But seeing Rock God Morax speak, she instinctively wanted to retort.
[Dr.: If you all don't plan to eat it, I can buy this medicinal pill.]
[Furina: Will Neuvillette eat it? Given his situation, who knows what would happen if he ate this medicinal pill.]
[Beidou: I'm also quite curious about what will happen after Baizhu, Hu Tao, and Qiqi eat the medicinal pill.
However, it's just as Rex Lapis said. It's necessary to be cautious with this medicinal pill.]
...
"What a miraculous medicinal pill."
"Although I don't know Ms. Dan Shu's specific refining process."
"But refining such a medicinal pill must not be a simple matter, right?"
Upholding the concept of caution, Baizhu did not choose to take the medicinal pill now. Instead, he looked up at Dan Shu and said.
Dan Shu didn't mind this.
"Although there were some difficulties, it didn't take too much time."
Dan Shu smiled.
"Listening to your words, Ms. Dan Shu, you also experienced something similar to Xiao Yu in the past, right?"
After temporarily closing the box containing the medicinal pill, Baizhu asked Dan Shu.
"Indeed, even though a long time has passed, the darkness I experienced during those days still makes me tremble..."
"If it weren't for my only good friend bringing me a ray of light."
"I probably wouldn't be alive today."
As Dan Shu said this, a hint of nostalgia flickered in her eyes.
"When I was a child, I was bullied by my peers just like Xiao Yu."
"She was the one who stood up and protected me."
"After that, she also stayed by my side."
"It was under her influence that I joined the Alchemy Commission with her and became a medical officer."
Dan Shu said."Having such a friend, you must be very happy, Ms. Dan Shu."
Baizhu said.
"Happy... If she were still alive, I think I would be very happy."
"It's just a pity, she passed away in the war against the Denizens of Abundance."
Dan Shu clenched her fingers, saying through gritted teeth.
Baizhu: "..."
Hu Tao: "..."
Stelle: "..."
[Dehya: Her only friend who illuminated her died because of the war? This Dan Shu is too miserable, right?]
[Beidou: Xiao Yu's parents are like this, and Dan Shu's good friend is also like this. Alas, there are indeed too many tragedies on the XInahou.]
[Yelan: Luo Feng said that the history of the Xianzhou Alliance's development is a history of tragedy,
Although the situation of the Xianzhou Alliance is better now, they experienced countless wars in the past.]
[Uncle Tian: It's truly difficult for this medical officer Dan Shu to reach the position of Elders today.]
"Are your and Xiao Yu's eyes truly incurable?"
After a moment of silence, Stelle opened his mouth and asked Dan Shu.
"Yeah, the Xianzhou Alliance is so advanced, don't they have the technology to cure eyes?"
"This kind of technology shouldn't be that difficult to obtain in the Universe, right?"
Hu Tao asked."You're talking about prosthetic eye technology, right?"
"Unfortunately, prosthetic eye technology that can allow short-lived species to see the light again cannot allow long-lived species like me and Xiao Yu to see the light again."
Dan Shu shook her head.
Hu Tao: "Why?"
Dan Shu: "Ultimately, it's because we are heaven-deficient."
After a pause, Dan Shu continued:
"For the long-lived species on the XIanzhou, our physical condition is already determined at the moment of birth."
"Appearance, intelligence, height, etc., are already inscribed in our genes from the moment of birth."
"Of course, this also includes conditions like physical defects."
"Inscribed in the genes?
"Hu Tao seemed to think of something, swallowed her throat, and said with great surprise.
"Does Ms. Dan Shu mean that physical defects carried at birth will remain fixed in long-lived species?"
"Even if surgeries like prosthetic eyes are used to complete the body, will the bodies of long-lived species slowly return to their former defective state?"
After a slight thought, Baizhu opened his mouth and asked Dan Shu in front of him.
Dan Shu nodded in agreement and said:
"You are very smart, Baizhu. Just as you said, not only prosthetic eye technology, but many techniques that are useful for compensating for physical defects in short-lived species are useless for long-lived species."
"No matter what methods are used or what techniques are implanted on the long-lived species of the Xianzhou Alliance, our bodies will eventually return to how they were before."
"Moreover, this self-healing of the body will be very painful."
"Suffering such pain, it's not surprising for the Xianzhou to directly fall into Mara-Struck."
"The so-called heaven-deficient are like this."
[Dehya: This... There's even this!]
[Dr.: Interesting, does the Xianzhou's physical self-healing ability also include rejection of implants?
If I have the chance, I really want to study the Xianzhou's bodies properly.]
[Tighnari: Powerful self-healing, has it become a burden at this time instead?]
[Nahida: Is this why prosthetic eye technology is useless for Xiao Yu and Dan Shu? So that's what heaven-deficient means.]
[Amber: If you are born healthy, that's fine, but if you have physical defects, that's probably how your whole life will be.]
[Lumine: If the physical defects are too severe, the Xianzhou's millennial lifespan will instead become a burden.
After all, the Xianzhou's defects cannot be treated.]
[Paimon: This, this is too scary. If it were Luo Feng, he would surely be able to treat the Xianzhou's defects, right?]
[Regrator: I remember that Luo Feng's power of resurrection also restores the deceased to their former state,
Luo Feng's healing power is probably the same as his power of resurrection.]
[Paimon: Wh... What do you mean?]
[Servant: That is to say, if a certain Xianzhou person's body is naturally defective, Luo Feng's healing power may not be able to cure it.
Of course, whether it can actually be cured, only Luo Feng himself knows.]
[Paimon: How can this be! Wait, Dan Shu just said that the pain of physical rejection might cause the Xianzhou to directly fall into Mara-Struck,
Does overly intense pain also cause the Xianzhou to fall into Mara-Struck?]
....
Chapter 312 Teyvat: Dan Shu's Friend Died in the Denizens of Abundance War, She Must Be a Good Person!
[Luo Feng: That's right! Although generally, the Xianzhou only fall into Mara-Struck when they reach a certain age.
But if they endure pain that their body and mind cannot bear,Even a young Xianzhou person can fall into Mara-Struck on the spot.]
[Paimon: It's really like this! Wait, Luo Feng, are you following the forum? Also, can you cure the heaven-deficient?]
[Luo Feng: I watch the live stream from time to time. As for curing the heaven-deficient, I haven't tried it, so I don't know.]
The Xianzhou Alliance is a rare and massive organization in the Universe, and it naturally possesses a considerable amount of technology and has access to many geniuses.
Among them is even Herta of the Genius Society.
But even so, the Xianzhou Alliance still has heaven-deficient individuals.
In such a situation, even Luo Feng could not say with certainty that he could cure heaven-deficient individuals like Dan Shu and Xiao Yu.
Even if he used the Abundance authority given to him by Yaoshi the Abundance,
Luo Feng also dared not guarantee that his Bounty Power could restore the heaven-deficient without them falling into the Mara-Struck.
After all, Xianzhou themselves suppress the power of the Abundance in their bodies.
If he were to use the power of Abundance to give the Xianzhou bodies excessive Bounty Power, who knows what they would turn into.
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Luo Feng still hasn't confirmed that his abilities can heal the heaven-deficient?]
[Tartaglia: The heaven-deficient's physical condition is indeed troublesome.]
[Barbara: If Luo Feng gives it a try, he should still be able to treat the heaven-deficient, right? Yes, he definitely can!]
[Dr.: Can overly intense physical and mental pain also cause Xianzhou to fall into the Mara-Struck? That's an interesting discovery.]
[Dr.: La Signora, you wouldn't accidentally fall into the Mara-Struck one day, would you?Having consumed abundance fruit, you are now considered a long-life species, right?]
[La Signora: Hm? Are you trying to make me taste pain, Dr.?]
[Dr.: How could I? We are colleagues.]
[La Signora: Do you dare say you don't have thoughts of using me for experiments?]
[Dr.: Of course not.]
[La Signora: Hmph!]
...
"So this is a heaven-deficient? It must be tough."
Baizhu sighed.
He suddenly felt that compared to the heaven-deficient, his own symptoms were minor.
After all, his body could still be improved, but the physical condition of Ms. Dan Shu, Xiao Yu, and other heaven-deficient was already set in stone.
Even with extremely advanced technology in the Universe, there was no way to treat it.
"Ms. Dan Shu, you are so familiar with the body rejection situation of the heaven-deficient."
"Could it be... you once tried to heal your eyes?"
"Or even used extreme measures to heal your eyes?"Baizhu took a deep breath and asked Ms. Dan Shu.The special measures he referred to were naturally methods like implanting artificial eyes.
"Yes, I once tried to heal my eyes."
Ms. Dan Shu looked up, her consciousness sinking into the past.
"Humans are visual creatures after all, discerning the world through light, shadow, and color vision."
"I wanted to touch and distinguish the scenes and colors my friend Yufie spoke of, and even more, I wanted to see Yufie's appearance."
"So, with Yufie's support, I decided at that time to find a way to regain my sight."
"At that time, I was already the best Alchemist in the Alchemy Commission, and Yufie was also the best doctor in the Alchemy Commission."
"Therefore, we both had confidence in ourselves."Ms. Dan Shu said.
"Then... did you find a method?"
Baizhu asked.
"Whether it was using non-implantable artificial eye technology, illusion technology, or sensory substitution technology, none were successful."
"I even discussed it with Dr. Egan from the Intelligentsia Guild. He proposed a very strange solution, a plan called Abolitionist Therapy."
Ms. Dan Shu shook her head and said regretfully."As expected."Baizhu nodded."Intelligentsia Guild? That's the same organization as Dr. Ratio!""What does this Abolitionist Therapy mean?"
Hu Tao's face showed confusion.Hearing this, Ms. Dan Shu explained:
"Dr. Egan's idea was that if you can't eliminate the root cause of the heaven-deficient's pain, then eliminate the pain itself."
"As long as a drug pump is used to inject specific drugs into the body at specific times, it can make people not care about the defects in their physical bodies."
"After injecting the drug, I would become a state where I didn't want to see the world, and I wouldn't feel that there was anything wrong with myself like that."
[Barbara: This... can this even be called a treatment plan?]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Amazing! But for the heaven-deficient, this can indeed be considered a treatment plan.]
[Tighnari: Indeed! The heaven-deficient's pain comes from caring about their own deficiencies.If they don't care about their own deficiencies, they naturally won't be in pain.]
[Jean: It's just a pity that even such a treatment plan doesn't seem to have been successful.]
[Lisa: After all, Ms. Dan Shu still seems to care about her eyes very much now.]
"You... failed, right?"
Baizhu looked at Ms. Dan Shu deeply.
"Failed! A complete failure."
"After injecting Dr. Egan's medicine, I did experience an hour of not caring."
"But immediately after, I almost died under the body's immune storm."
Ms. Dan Shu said.
"Did the Xianzhou's self-healing properties reject the medicine?"
Baizhu sighed, muttering to himself.
"After that, did you give up?"
Stelle's eyes held a hint of sympathy for Ms. Dan Shu.
"No, I didn't give up."
"Ah, I really wanted to see what Yufie looked like."
"Even if it was just for one time."
Ms. Dan Shu clasped her hands together, her expression suddenly appearing somewhat frantic.
"Are you saying you directly used artificial eyes?"
Hu Tao's eyes widened slightly.
"That's right!" Ms. Dan Shu nodded heavily:
"I hid it from Yufie and had Dr. Egan install implantable artificial eyes for me."
"And then, I successfully saw what Yufie looked like."
Speaking of this, Ms. Dan Shu's expression became incredibly excited.
Seeing this scene, Baizhu, Hu Tao, and the others exchanged glances.
They didn't know whether to be happy for Ms. Dan Shu or regretful.
After all, according to what Ms. Dan Shu said earlier, even if implanting artificial eyes could allow one to briefly see the world,
After that, the heaven-deficient would experience extreme pain, pain so extreme that it could even instantly induce the Mara-Struck in a Xianzhou.
"After implanting the artificial eyes, I saw myself for the first time, and I saw Yufie for the first time."
"Her short black hair gleamed, like silk."
"Her fair skin was like the finest porcelain from Zhu Ming."
"Those eyes were like black jade, but at this moment, they were bloodshot and constantly shedding tears due to sadness."
Ms. Dan Shu's tone shifted from excitement to sadness here."
Yufie looked at my new eyes and asked, 'Ms. Dan Shu, do you know what this means?'.
"Heh, of course I knew what it meant. It meant that these eyes would be gradually rejected, and I would endure immense pain during this process."
"Likewise, I might not be able to bear this pain and would directly fall into the Mara-Struck."
Ms. Dan Shu exhaled and looked up.
Star, Hu Tao, and the others looked at Ms. Dan Shu with emotion.
Even just by feeling the girl named Yufie through Ms. Dan Shu's description,They seemed to be able to feel Yufie's concern for Ms. Dan Shu.
[Let's go see those sights. Those sights you told me about before.]
I said this to Yufie.
"Although Yufie was worried and in pain, she still agreed to my request."
"For the next few days, we walked side-by-side to every place we could go, and saw every sight we could see."
"Although as time passed, the pain of rejection grew stronger."
"But as long as Yufie was by my side, I didn't seem to feel that much pain."
"Finally, I wailed in a pool of blood and returned to the darkness."
Dan Shu murmured, her expression a mix of happiness and pain.
[Barbara: Dan Shu, how pitiful. Even just listening, I feel like I can sense her pain of rejection.]
[Dunyarzad: Thankfully, Yufie supported her. Perhaps it was also because Yufie was there that she didn't fall into the Mara-Struck due to the pain of rejection.
It's a shame, though, that this Yufie ultimately...]
[Dehya: Yes, it's a shame Yufie ultimately died in the war against the Denizens of Abundance.]
[Dehya: With such a close friend dying at the hands of the Denizens of Abundance, Dan Shu must hate the Denizens of Abundance and Aeon of Abundance to the core.]
[La Signora: Her expression isn't fake; her pain and happiness are real.Having gone through such an experience, she will undoubtedly do everything possible to get revenge on "Abundance".]
La Signora looked at Dan Shu's expression and suddenly felt like she was looking in a mirror.
Didn't she herself once feel happy because of her lover's presence, and then fall into boundless pain and hatred because of her lover's departure?
If it weren't for this past experience, she wouldn't have fallen from a top student in the Akademiya to the Crimson Witch of Flames.
That being said, La Signora did not regret this experience of hers.
La Signora took a deep breath and focused her attention back on the live stream forum.
[La Signora: With such an experience, Dan Shu definitely wouldn't be someone from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus who believes in Aeon of Abundance.]
[Tartaglia: Even La Signora said so. It seems this Elders is just a simple Alchemist with superb medical skills.]
[Eula: So, the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew she refined for Baizhu, Neuvillette, and the others is actually a beneficial medicine?]
[Schubert: See? I was right, this Dan Shu is trustworthy.Damn it, I wonder if I'll be able to go to the Starcruiser in the future and have a chance to get elixirs from Dan Shu.]
[Lisa: Then you'll have to ask if Liyue agrees.]
...
"Although you eventually fell into darkness, at least you saw the light and saw Yufie."
"And you also endured that extreme pain."
"In a way, the process of implanting the bionic eye can be considered a gain."
Baizhu said to Dan Shu.
After hearing Dan Shu's sincere narration, Baizhu couldn't help but trust Dan Shu a little more.
After all, someone whose closest friend died in the war against the Denizens of Abundance should have a very low probability of joining the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, which believes in Aeon of Abundance.
Hu Tao, Stelle, and others felt the same way, so much so that their trust in the elixirs Dan Shu produced increased significantly.
"Yes, yes, at least you know what Yufie looks like, right?
"Hu Tao said."Hehe, being able to know what Yufie looks like is indeed a blessing for me."
"But that's probably the only blessing I can count from my time in the light."
After falling back into darkness, whenever I think of the experience of regaining my sight, I feel a bit of irony and even more pain in my heart.
Sometimes I think, how good it would have been if I had never seen the light.
Dan Shu shook her head and said with deep emotion.
If you haven't experienced beauty, you won't regret losing it.
Is that what you mean?
Neuvillette said.
Dan Shu smiled gently, acknowledging Neuvillette's statement.
Seeing Dan Shu's expression, everyone present was at a loss for words for a moment.
On the contrary, Dan Shu herself quickly calmed down.
She had lived through many thoughts and experienced even more things than Neuvillette, so she could naturally adjust her mood quickly.
Moreover, she hadn't forgotten her purpose of inviting Stelle, Neuvillette, and others.
"Does everyone have any other questions?"
"If not, you can go about your own business."
Dan Shu said.
Hearing this, Neuvillette rested his hand on his chin, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Dan Shu:
Ms. Dan Shu, as an Elders of the Alchemy Commission, have you heard of the organization called the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus?
As far as I know, quite a few people from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus have come from the Alchemy Commission.
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao and Stelle looked at Neuvillette in surprise.
They didn't expect Neuvillette to ask this question so directly.However, they quickly turned their heads to look at Dan Shu's face.
Emotionally, they wanted to trust Dan Shu.
But having seen too many Alchemist from the Alchemy Commission become Mara-Struck soldiers of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus,
Hu Tao and the others still wanted to confirm it one last time.
[Wriothesley: The Chief Justice is really direct. It's understandable, though.
If you don't figure out Dan Shu's identity,you can't really be sure of the safety of the elixir Dan Shu gave, let alone actually taking it.]
[Schubert: Are you still doubting at this point?]
[Clorinde: Neuvillette's job is judgment; he has his own set of standards for judgment.]
[Wriothesley: That's true. Although we've learned a lot about Dan Shu, that's just her side of the story.
Asking directly at this time and observing Dan Shu's answers and expressions might reveal more clues.]
[Kaveh: This is probably the last chance to verify.
After this, it will be up to Neuvillette and Baizhu to decide whether to take the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew.]
[Schubert: You people are really suspicious. If you don't dare to eat it, you might as well give that elixir to me to eat.]
[Eula:...]
....
Chapter 313: Oh no! Qiqi takes the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus elixir and shows discomfort symptoms?!
[Lisa: Baizhu definitely isn't planning to hand over the elixir, and as for Neuvillette, Hu Tao, and Qiqi,
not to mention whether they won't take the elixir, even if they don't, getting the elixir from them would probably be very difficult.]
[Dori: Indeed, if I wanted to buy this, it would definitely cost a lot of Mora.]
[Wriothesley: Maybe Neuvillette will want to study this elixir himself, hehe.]
[Lisa: So, a certain person from the Lawrence Family shouldn't even think about having a chance to take this Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew.]
[Schubert: Hmph, why do you, a witch, care about me?]
[Lisa: Hehe, it seems someone wants a little shock.]
[Eula: You should say less, uncle.]
"Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, huh."
Dan Shu heard Neuvillette's question, and her expression became somewhat emotional
."I am just a Alchemist, I don't understand too complex karmic connections."
"I only know that the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus is a group of Xianzhou people who consider themselves Denizens of Abundance."
"I guess they just attribute the suffering they have experienced to deviating from the Path of the Lord of Longevity and Blight."
"Therefore, they want to re-embrace the power of Abundance to save themselves from hardship."
"As for what you said about some people from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus coming from the Alchemy Commission."
"I have also heard of this matter, but after all, I am just a blind person."
"Even if my hearing is excellent, I cannot observe everyone in the Alchemy Commission."
"Naturally, I also couldn't know the identities of those Alchemist from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus before they were exposed."
Dan Shu said.
"I see."
Neuvillette nodded in understanding.
In terms of universal rationality, it was indeed difficult for Dan Shu, being blind, to discover whether the people around her were from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
"Does everyone have any other questions? If not, please allow me to leave to handle the matters at hand."
Dan Shu stood up and said to Neuvillette, Baizhu, and the others.
"Mm, I hope you can find a way to regain your sight."
Stelle said sincerely.
"Thank you. I hope I can see your appearance with my own eyes then, and I wish you can find the answers you seek on the Xiaznhou."
Dan Shu said with a smile.After speaking, the group left the pharmacy.
Following that, Neuvillette, Baizhu, and the others watched Dan Shu leave, heading in the direction of the Artificers Workshop.
"Then everyone, let's divide this Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew."
After Dan Shu had completely disappeared from sight, Baizhu smilingly presented the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew before everyone.
Because of Dan Shu's performance earlier, even though not everyone was interested in taking the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew,at least no one chose to refuse taking the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew.
"A medicinal pill that strengthens the body and prolongs life?"
"So, do you want to eat it?"
After observing the medicinal pill in his hand for a moment, Neuvillette raised his head and looked at everyone.
As a dragon from the Teyvat Continent, he naturally didn't need this so-called medicine that could prolong life.When he saw Xing, a trace of surprise flashed across Neuvillette's face.
"Mm... if it can make the body healthier, and the lifespan won't be infinitely extended."
"It seems like something that can be eaten... Wait, Stelle, you ate it directly?!"
Hu Tao looked at Stelle, who had swallowed the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew in one gulp, her plum-blossom-like eyes instantly widening.
"Mm! I believe in Dan Shu, and I believe in her medicinal pills."
"Since this medicine can make the body stronger, why wouldn't I eat it?"
Stelle patted her belly and nodded with a smile.
On the other side, Luo Feng, who saw this scene, sighed inwardly.
He seemed to have already seen the scene where Stelle, affected by the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew, attacked Baizhu, Neuvillette, and others.
In the Star Rail game plot.
Stelle or Caelus, as the protagonist, became muddled in consciousness after taking the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew given by Dan Shu, and mistook the Cloud Knights for Mara-Struck.
She even fought against the Cloud Knights because of this.
Fortunately, Stelle recovered quickly and did not actually kill the Cloud Knights.
If the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew given to Stelle by Dan Shu here is the same as the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew in the game
.Luo Feng could foresee that Xing would become muddled in consciousness before too long,and even mistake Neuvillette, Baizhu, and others for Mara-Struck soldiers.
And this was not what Luo Feng hoped to see.
After all, Stelle's strength was evident, and there weren't many tourists from Teyvat who could exchange a few blows with Stelle.
'Forget it, I'll go take a look.'Luo Feng thought to himself, and sat up.
"Benefactor~~~?"
Miss Tingyun, who was massaging Luo Feng's feet, raised her head in confusion.
"I must say, your service has touched me, Miss Tingyun."
"Seeing how hard you've worked, I will temporarily give you this light cone and let you help me auction it."
Luo Feng said, handing the fake light cone, "On the Fall of an Aeon", to Phantylia, who was disguised as Miss Tingyun.
"Re... really?"
Seeing this, Miss Tingyun's feeling of being wronged from serving Luo Feng immediately turned into joy.
"Naturally, it's real."
Luo Feng smiled and boldly stuffed the light cone into Miss Tingyun's chest.
Although Miss Tingyun felt a bit awkward about this,thinking about how she had done even bolder things, she endured it.
"Of course, the authority to use this light cone is still in my hands for now."
"So after you successfully auction the light cone, you need to have the person who gets the light cone come find me."
"Only after I transfer the authority can the buyer use the light cone."
Luo Feng said while tidying his clothes.
Although it was a fake light cone, Luo Feng naturally needed to create something similar to authority.
This way, it would prevent Phantylia from discovering too early that the light cone in her hand was fake.
If Phantylia recognized the light cone was fake too early, it would be too boring.
And to decipher the "authority" that Luo Feng had covered on the light cone,even Phantylia would have to put in some effort and use her brain.
"Eh, it still needs authority?"
Miss Tingyun pouted, and pitifully reached out to hug Luo Feng's arm.
"Benefactor, can't you lift the authority?"
"If there are restrictions, won't this little woman have no way to properly demonstrate the Power of the light cone to the buyer?"
Miss Tingyun said while forcefully burying Luo Feng's arm into her chest,indicating with her actions that she didn't want Luo Feng to leave.
"It's okay, I can be present when you sell the light cone."
"I can demonstrate the Power of the light cone to the buyer then."
Luo Feng reached out and pinched Miss Tingyun's face hard, pulling his arm out of her embrace as she winced in pain
."All in all, put on your clothes first."
"If there's a chance later, we can chat again."
Luo Feng straightened his collar, then quickly left the room.
Anyway, he had teased Miss Tingyun enough here, there was no need for him to stay.
Luo Feng seemed to have already seen the look of frustration Miss Tingyun would show after learning that she had been teased by Luo Feng the whole time.
Miss Tingyun rubbed the spot where Luo Feng had pinched her, then looked at the closed door, and couldn't help but grit her teeth.
'What a cunning man, he took full advantage of me.'
'Can't he just hand over the light cone honestly?
''Just you wait, after I deal with the matters on the Starcruiser, you're next.'
Miss Tingyun thought to herself, looking at the light cone in her hand
.After some study, Miss Tingyun's brows furrowed tightly.
"Authority created with the Power of the path of Remembrance?"
"In that case, it can't be used directly."
Miss Tingyun believed she could use the light cone in her hand with brute force.
But that would not only be troublesome, but also unable to unleash the full Power of the light cone.
It was even possible that it would cause some damage to the light cone.
And this was what Miss Tingyun could least accept
.She had spent a lot of effort, not hesitating to put aside the dignity of a Lord Ravager, lowering her stance to sell smiles and charm to Luo Feng.
If she still couldn't get a complete "On the Fall an Aeon" after all this, Miss Tingyun couldn't accept it no matter what.
"No, I must get the method to unlock the authority from Luo Feng."
"At worst, I'll do what I did before again."
Miss Tingyun took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and put on her clothes.
Then she quickly walked out the door and onto the street.
Unfortunately, Luo Feng had already left using the Trailblazing Power.
For a moment, Tingyun couldn't find Luo Feng's whereabouts.
"I won't give up, Luo Feng."
Tingyun gritted her teeth, chose a direction, and walked out.
.........
On the other side.
Where Stelle, Neuvillette, Baizhu, and others were located.
[Lumine: Good heavens, as expected of Stelle, she actually ate the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew in one bite.]
[Paimon: Looking at Stelle, she doesn't seem to have any abnormalities. So, is the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew safe?]
[Schubert: Of course it's safe! Damn it, doesn't that mean there's one less Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew?]
[Lisa: Even if there wasn't one less, you wouldn't be able to get it. Just watch obediently.]
[Schubert: Da... damn it!]
[Alhaitham: Star ate the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew.
I wonder if others will eat the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew. What changes will happen to them after taking it?]
[Dr.: This is indeed a curious topic. However, I would prefer that they consider bringing the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew back to Teyvat for sale.]
[Lumine: Are you sure your Fatui will obtain the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew by purchasing it,
instead of by robbing it?]
[Paimon: Exactly, exactly. Your Fatui's La Signora did something similar before, right?]
[Dr.: La Signora, why do you say that?]
[La Signora: Hmph!]
"Stelle, how do you feel? Is there anything unusual about your body?"
Hu Tao asked cautiously.
" I Hmm... there's nothing unusual."
"If I had to say there was anything unusual, it would probably be that the taste of this pill is a bit strange."
Stelle said after thinking for a while, propping her chin with one hand.
"Then do you feel your body has become stronger, or your lifespan has become longer, or anything like that?"
Hu Tao asked curiously.
"Well, no, not that either."
Stelle scratched her hair, her expression looking a little confused.
"Huh, doesn't that mean this Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew is useless?"
Hu Tao exclaimed in surprise
."Perhaps Stelle herself is too powerful, so the pill can't help her become stronger."
"As for extending lifespan... even if the pill extended a person's lifespan, it wouldn't be so easy to feel it, right?"
Baizhu looked at the pill in his hand and muttered.This was also what he hoped for in his heart.
If the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew had no effect, he would be the most troubled.
"That's right, Stelle has a stellaron in her body."
"The power of this thing must be stronger than the pill."
Hu Tao nodded in agreement.
Just then, her peripheral vision seemed to catch something.
"Qiqi... Wait, what are you doing?"
Hu Tao looked at Qiqi, who was putting her share of the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew into her mouth, and pounced on her in surprise.
Neuvillette, Baizhu, and the audience on the Teyvat Forum also looked at Qiqi upon hearing this.The next moment, everyone showed surprised expressions.
[Yaoyao: Qiqi also ate the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew!]
[Granny Ping: Qiqi is simple-minded, she probably thought Dan Shu was fine,and since Stelle had already eaten the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew, she also ate her share.]
[Schubert: Bastard, bastard! There are only three Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew left!]
[Cloud Retainer: Qiqi's constitution is special. I wonder what kind of reaction she will have after taking this pill.]
[Dr.: Although Qiqi is a zombie, she is still a creature of the Teyvat Continent,her eating the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew has considerable reference value for Baizhu, Hu Tao, and Neuvillette.]
[Xiangling: So, Qiqi will become even stronger because she took the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew, right?]
"Um... Qiqi thinks it's very similar to the abundance fruit dish Luo Feng once let me try."
"Qiqi hopes her body can become softer, and her Remembrance can be better."
"So I ate my share of the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew."
"And, I think Sister Dan Shu is a good person, and Stelle has also eaten the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew."
"It should be fine if I eat the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew, right?"
Qiqi said to Hu Tao.
"Similar to the abundance dish?"
"Qiqi, how do you feel?"
After reacting, Baizhu quickly squatted down, his eyes fixed on Qiqi.
At the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart.
Logically, the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew should have nothing to do with the abundance dish that Luo Feng asked Xiangling to make.
Not only Baizhu, but Hu Tao, Neuvillette, and the audience in Teyvat were all looking at Qiqi with confusion.
"Um... Qiqi feels a little headache."
"And, my body is a little hot, it's so uncomfortable."
Qiqi put her hands on her chest, her brows slightly furrowed.
"No, there won't be a problem, will there?"
Hu Tao's eyes widened.
"Not necessarily, Qiqi is afraid of heat herself."
"She might just be uncomfortable simply because of the heat generated by the medicine taking effect."
Although he said that, the worried look in Baizhu's eyes could not be hidden.
Just at this moment, Star also suddenly put one hand on her forehead and the other on her chest.
"Stelle, what's wrong with you again?"
Hu Tao looked over in confusion.
"Something's wrong, I suddenly have a headache too."
"My body is so hot, so uncomfortable, I can't breathe a little."
Stelle said with a frown.
..........
Chapter 314: Yaoshi Appears, and Actually Looks Towards the the Hunt's Xiao!
[Xiangling: No... no way, is there really a problem?]
[Barbara: How could this be? Isn't that Dan Shu a good person?]
[Paimon: Yeah, logically speaking, she shouldn't be from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.After all, her friends all died at the hands of the Denizens of Abundance.]
[Tighnari: Since Dan Shu isn't from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, did she have a problem refining the medicine and produce a pill with an effect that didn't match what she said?]
[Gorou: It seems... it's not impossible. But looking at the bright side, perhaps this is just a process of the medicine taking effect?]
[Schubert: Ye... yes! How could Dan Shu's medicine have a problem? This must just be a process of the pill taking effect.
After all, it's a pill that can extend lifespan by more than double. It's normal for the user to have some special reactions. Yes, it must be like this!]
[Eula: You're really confident, Uncle.]
"How could this be?!"
"Wait... wait, could it be that something went wrong?"
Hu Tao exclaimed, looking at Qiqi, and saw Qiqi sitting on the ground with a pained expression.
Baizhu was looking at Qiqi with concern, seemingly trying to figure out the cause of the symptoms Qiqi was currently showing.
"Hmm? It seems a little better."
"Although it's still a bit uncomfortable."
Stelle held her forehead with one hand and continued.
"Better again?"
Hu Tao quickly looked at Qiqi.
However, Qiqi still had a pained expression, showing no signs of improvement.
"Let me take a look."
Neuvillette reached out to Qiqi, and pure Hydro energy instantly enveloped Qiqi.
He wanted to use the dense elemental energy to help Qiqi alleviate her symptoms, but it had little effect.
"Didn't work?"
Baizhu frowned tightly, looking at Star, who seemed fine now.
"Could it be because Stelle has a special physique and great strength, which is why her symptoms appeared slower and disappeared quickly."
Baizhu murmured.
"Regardless of whether that's the reason, it's certain that Qiqi's current situation is strange. We'd best consult someone knowledgeable in XIanzhou medical techniques."
"If possible, it would be best to find Doctor Bai Lu or Luo Feng."
Hu Tao said worriedly.
[Paimon: That's right, we can find Luo Feng! If there's really a problem, Luo Feng will take action.]
[Traveler: Tsk, that man has been completely infatuated by that foxy woman. I wonder if he's watching the live stream right now.]
[Traveler: If you ask me, finding Doctor Bai Lu is more reliable.]
[Rosaria: Smells like jealousy!]
[Traveler: Wh... What are you talking about? Where am I jealous?]
[Rosaria: I just said it smells like vinegar. It's the Traveler yourself who said you were jealous.]
[Traveler: Ah, this...]
[Prince: Since you think Luo Feng is indulging in Tingyun's beauty, why not take this opportunity to see his true nature and stop liking him? How about it?]
[Traveler: I... When did I ever say I liked him?!]
[Alice: Stop arguing, Traveler. Everyone on Teyvat knows that you like Luo Feng.There's no need to feel embarrassed.
Anyway, there are plenty of women on the Teyvat Continent who like Lord Luo Feng, probably.]
[Traveler: H-How could that be? He's clearly just a man completely wrapped around Tingyun's finger.
How could many women like him?!]
[Luo Feng: Your evaluation of me makes me very regretful, Traveler.]
[Traveler: Luo Feng, you're here?!]
[Luo Feng: I've been here all along.]
[Traveler: Then, then you saw everything? No, since you saw it, quickly think of a solution. You shouldn't dislike Qiqi, right?]
[Luo Feng: Don't worry, Qiqi's current state might not be a bad thing.]
[Traveler: Eh?! What does that mean?]
[Eula: Could it be true, as Uncle Schubert said, that this Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew is actually beneficial?!]
[Schubert: Hmph, I told you so!]
Luo Feng stood on the rooftop, looking out at Qiqi, Baizhu, and the others.
Being close enough, Luo Feng could clearly sense the condition of Stelle and Qiqi's bodies.
Star's situation was likely consistent with the game.
Although the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew was working within her body, it was constantly being counteracted by the stellaron inside her.
As for Qiqi, her body was continuously being transformed into a Abominations of Abundance by the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew.
If it were just this situation, Qiqi's condition would certainly be very dangerous.
But through the "Blessing" applied to Qiqi, Luo Feng faintly felt that Qiqi had a tendency to walk towards a certain Path
.'Could it be because Qiqi's physical condition is special enough?'
'Qiqi is a zombie, representing incorruptibility and agelessness.'
'And the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew contains the energy of Abundance.'
'This has a certain compatibility with the abundance fruit dishes Qiqi has eaten before.'
'Could it be that Aeon of Abundance will appear.'
Luo Feng thought of this, and a sense of anticipation grew in his heart.
This was also the reason why he had arrived but chose not to take action.
.........
"Wait a moment, I'll use my phone to ask Qing Que."
"She might know where Bai Lu is."
Hearing that Neuvillette wanted to find Bai Lu, Star quickly took out her phone.
Suddenly, a flash of orange-yellow light passed by.
Stelle looked over and saw Qiqi's body wrapped in a burst of orange-yellow energy, slowly rising into the air.
Seeing this, Baizhu instinctively reached out to grab Qiqi.
The moment Baizhu's hand touched the orange energy surrounding Qiqi, his eyes widened instantly.
"This powerful healing energy, could it be..."
Not only Baizhu, but the Bai She Changsheng wrapped around Baizhu's neck also looked at Qiqi in surprise.
Immediately, He exchanged glances with Baizhu, and they both had the same guess in their hearts.
As if to confirm the guesses of Baizhu and Bai She Changsheng,
Under everyone's gaze, the orange energy surrounding Qiqi's body surface actually began to transform into branches and vines, just like the symptoms when Cloud Knights fell into Mara-Struck.
[Jean: Eh?! Mara-Struck?!]
[Paimon: N-No way?! How could vines, which only grow when Cloud Knights fall into Mara-Struck, grow on Qiqi?]
[Dr.: Could it be that this Qiqi will also become like those Alchemist from the Alchemy Commission?Heh heh, I wonder if she can maintain consciousness after turning into that Mara-Struck appearance.]
[Schubert: H-How could it turn out like this?]
Baizhu, Hu Tao, and the others frowned tightly, looking at Qiqi with worried expressions.
Just as everyone was unsure of what to do for a moment, the surrounding space-time suddenly slowed down, until it completely stopped.
Hu Tao, who was standing next to Qiqi, hadn't even had time to feel confused when she felt like she had only blinked, and she had already arrived in the vast expanse of the Universe.
"Huh, what happened?"
"How did I suddenly come to the Universe?"
Hu Tao blinked her eyes and said somewhat blankly.
"The fact that we have all come to this space can only mean that someone among the five of us is about to step onto a Path."
Ningguang's voice sounded from behind Hu Tao.
"Ningguang?! And Keqing and Xiao, the Adeptus?!"
"Weren't you accompanying Rex Lapis at the teahouse?"
Hu Tao turned around in surprise, looking at Ningguang, Keqing, and Xiao who had suddenly appeared behind her.
"Yes, we were just with Rex Lapis in another place earlier."
"In the blink of an eye, we appeared here."
Ningguang nodded and said to Hu Tao.
"The five of us are passengers of the Astral Express. When someone is about to embark on a Path, we will all appear here together."
"I'm afraid this is the case regardless of whether we are in the same place."
"Of course, there is also Luo Feng."
Keqing said, looking at the smiling Luo Feng nearby.
"You're here too, Luo Feng!"
Hearing Keqing's words, Hu Tao finally noticed Luo Feng's presence.
"Yes, I'm here."
Luo Feng waved at Hu Tao with a smile.
"Since Luo Feng, Keqing, Ningguang, Xiao, the Adeptus, and I are all here, does that mean Qiqi is about to walk the Path?"
"But why? Why would Qiqi walk the Path at this time?"
"Qiqi didn't fight with anyone. In this situation, can your 'Blessing', Luo Feng, still take effect?"
Hu Tao glanced at Qiqi standing in front of the giant light pillar in the distance and asked Luo Feng in confusion.
"Remember Nahida?"
"Didn't she also walk the Path without going through a battle?"
Luo Feng smiled.
"Lesser Lord Kusanali? So Qiqi and Lesser Lord Kusanali are in the same situation."
"Because she is special enough, under the effect of your 'Blessing', Luo Feng, she can walk the Path directly without fighting?"
"But if Qiqi had this potential, why didn't she walk the Path the moment she arrived in the Universe?"
Hu Tao bit her thumb, becoming even more confused.
"I think it should be related to the elixir Qiqi took earlier."
After thinking it over, Ningguang could only link the current situation to the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew Qiqi had taken.
"Elixir? Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew?!"
Hu Tao blinked, a little puzzled.
"Qiqi is special, but not as special as Nahida."
"That elixir probably completed Qiqi's special nature, allowing her to walk the Path directly through Luo Feng's 'Blessing'."
Ningguang said tentatively.
"Is that so..."
Hu Tao thought about Qiqi's inherent specialness,and then thought about the Mara-Struck-like symptoms she had seen on Qiqi before, a flicker of thought crossing her eyes."Zombies are somewhat similar to Mara-Struck in a way."
"So, that elixir made Qiqi lean towards being Mara-Struck?"
"Could it be... what's about to appear is Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance, and Qiqi will walk the Path of Abundance?"
Hu Tao murmured to herself, gazing at the giant light pillar where Qiqi was.
"The current situation is probably also related to Qiqi having eaten a small piece of Luo Feng's abundance fruit dish before."
Ningguang said, looking at Luo Feng, as if wanting to ask him.
"Probably."Luo Feng nodded slightly:
"Originally, I thought with Qiqi's state, she would walk the Path of Nihility."
"I didn't expect her to have the experience of taking the Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew."
"But walking the Path of Abundance is also good.
If Qiqi walked the Path of Nihility in her state, she might truly fall into the Void."
Huang Quan, who appeared in Penacony, had Remembrance problems due to the power of the void.
If Qiqi walked the Path of Nihility, her recently recovered Remembrance would probably instantly revert to how it was before, or even worse.
If possible, Luo Feng didn't want Qiqi to become like that.
"Path of Nihility, does Qiqi also have the potential to walk that?"
Ningguang looked into the distance, curiously observing Qiqi.
A moment later, Ningguang shook her head and murmured softly:
"Then, what kind of Path do I have the potential to walk?"
As her words fell, the giant light pillar in the distance suddenly flickered,causing Ningguang, Hu Tao, and others who were about to say something to instantly fix their gaze on the light pillar in front of Qiqi.
Moments later, the figure of Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance, slowly emerged from the light pillar.
A mysterious, eerie, yet healing power instantly spread throughout the entire mental Universe.Hu Tao: "It really is Yaoshi, the Abundance! So... so big!"
Keqing: "After Qiqi walks the Path of Abundance, her previous symptoms should disappear, right?"
Xiao murmured in a low voice:
"Abundance can heal. Will it be able to restore Qiqi completely to a normal person's state?"
Ningguang: "Although I've already seen 'The Hunt' and 'Trailblaze', seeing a Aeon again still makes my heart race."
Yaoshi looked at Qiqi before her, gently waved a Emerald Green power into Qiqi's body, and quickly guided Qiqi onto the Path of Abundance.
Suddenly, Qiqi felt not a single trace of stiffness in her body.Even her consciousness became incredibly clear at this moment.
If it weren't for the power of a zombie still within her, Qiqi would have even thought she was no longer a zombie.
"Path of Abundance, I should thank Them."
Qiqi looked up at Yaoshi the Abundance, but saw that Yaoshi the Abundance was actually floating towards the direction where Ningguang, Luo Feng, and the others were.
"Co... coming over?!"
"Luo Feng, is this normal?"
Hu Tao grabbed Luo Feng's hand in surprise.
"Well... it's probably normal."
Although he said that, Luo Feng was unsure.
Logically, in this kind of meeting, Yaoshi should disappear after bestowing the Path upon Qiqi, and the mental Universe should subsequently shatter.
It was the first time Luo Feng had encountered a Aeon approaching in the mental Universe.
He saw Yaoshi the Abundance come closer to Luo Feng, extend a hand, and lift Luo Feng from the Void in front of everyone.
Because Hu Tao, Ningguang, Keqing, and Xiao were too close to Luo Feng, Hu Tao and the others were also held in Yaoshi's hand along with Luo Feng.
Even though the Yaoshi before them was just an illusion formed from a portion of the true Yaoshi's energy.
But facing the Aeon's pressure up close,for a moment, Ningguang, Keqing, Hu Tao, and Xiao instinctively held their breath,
Ningguang, Keqing, and Hu Tao all involuntarily went weak in the knees and sat down on Yaoshi's palm.
Only Xiao, with the Power of The Hunt Path fully unleashed on his body, could barely stand.
"Lan the Hunt's follower?"
Yaoshi the Abundance felt the power of The Hunt Path on Xiao's body, and a gaze fell upon Xiao.
.........
Chapter 315: What?! Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance, wants to compete with other Aeons for Luo Feng?!
'They... They spoke!'
Ningguang, Keqing, and Hu Tao were greatly shocked upon hearing what Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance, said, and looked at Xiao beside them with even more fear.
They all knew that the Hunt Aeon was hunting Yaoshi the Abundance.
Therefore, it was not impossible for Yaoshi the Abundance to intend to attack Lan the Hunt's follower.
Xiao felt the pressure on his body increase significantly.
This was not only because of Yaoshi the Abundance's previous words, but also because of Yaoshi the Abundance's gaze.
However, this was not Yaoshi intentionally putting pressure on Xiao; it was just that a Aeon's gaze inherently possessed considerable deterrent power.
Luo Feng watched this scene, equally surprised in his heart.
'They can even converse? And the pressure from Yaoshi is much stronger than before~.'
'Is it because too many people have walked the Path of Abundance through my Blessing, allowing Yaoshi to release more of Their power in the mental space opened up by this System?'
'Or is it because I summoned Yaoshi at Herta Space Station last time, which is why They can act like this in this mental Universe?'
As Luo Feng thought, his gaze fell upon Ningguang, Hu Tao, and the other Astral Express passengers.
"Don't worry, I don't think Yaoshi has any ill intentions towards any of you, not even Xiao who has walked The Hunt Path."
"The pressure you feel is just Them unintentionally releasing it."
Luo Feng said.
Hearing Luo Feng's words, Ningguang, Keqing, and the others felt a little relieved.
However, feeling the pressure of Yaoshi the Abundance up close, Ningguang, Keqing, Xiao, and the others were unable to speak, especially Xiao who had walked The Hunt Path.
Ningguang wanted to look up; she was somewhat confused by the current situation.
Whether it was this aura that was different from other Aeons' manifestations in the spiritual universe,
or Yaoshi's action of coming before Luo Feng at this moment, it made Ningguang feel confused.
However, at this moment, Yaoshi the Abundance's invisible aura pressured Ningguang so much that she couldn't even lift her head.
Fortunately, her hearing was fine, so she could at least hear the conversation between Luo Feng and Yaoshi the Abundance.
"Yaoshi, is there something you need?"
Luo Feng raised his head and looked at Yaoshi's beautiful yet slightly eerie giant figure.
Watching Yaoshi up close, Luo Feng clearly felt that the current Yaoshi the Abundance was much more solidified than the Yaoshi the Abundance who had appeared in the spiritual universe space before.
[Abundance: Trailblaze, I am very happy to see you here again.]
[Abundance: Are you satisfied with the authority I granted you?]
Hearing such rational words from Yaoshi the Abundance, Luo Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Even he hadn't expected Abundance to give such a reply.Beside him, Hu Tao's eyes widened as she looked at Luo Feng.
"Naturally, I'm satisfied. It's the power to resurrect those I wish to resurrect."
"I don't think many people would dislike this power."
Luo Feng nodded.
[Abundance: Since that is the case, are you willing to abandon your burdens now and achieve liberation with me?]
"Are you... extending an invitation to me?"
Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, feeling a little surprised.Yaoshi the Abundance smiled and nodded.
Luo Feng rubbed his chin.
He had heard similar words mentioned by the simulated Aeon of Abundance in the Simulated Universe.
He hadn't expected to hear the real Aeon of Abundance mention similar words now.
Luo Feng was still surprised, let alone Hu Tao, Ningguang, and the others.
At this moment, they were not only unable to speak, but even their thoughts had become sluggish due to excessive surprise."
Let's forget it. I don't want to achieve liberation just yet."
"Walking on the Trailblaze star rail is actually quite interesting."
Luo Feng shook his head and said.What Yaoshi the Abundance called achieving liberation probably meant for him to put down his Trailblaze work.
Although he himself didn't have the grand vision of Trailblaze the Universe like Trailblaze Aeon Akivili.
But his System was linked to leading Teyvat tourists into the Universe.
If he were to achieve liberation and slack off now, he wouldn't be able to continue getting stronger through the System.
As he was now, he might have already been noted by the Aeon of Destruction.
If he couldn't continue getting stronger, Luo Feng would be very troubled.
[Abundance: Regrettable! However, I will wait for you. Before that, I hope you do not accept the invitations of other Aeons.]
[Abundance: In the future, you may also bring your companions here, and I will grant them power.]
Luo Feng: "So generous!"
Aeon of Abundance showed a sweet smile.
Luo Feng was about to continue asking Yaoshi the Abundance, but Her figure then turned into a dazzling light and disappeared from the spot.
The spiritual universe space then shattered, and Qiqi and Hu Tao immediately returned to where they were originally.
Keqing, Xiao, and Ningguang's consciousness also returned to the tea house.
Although that was the case, thinking about what they had seen earlier, Ningguang, Keqing, and Xiao's moods were unsettled for a long time.
"Huh? What's wrong with you?"
Mona saw Keqing, who had been talking just now, suddenly stop, her body tensing up, and couldn't help but show a confused expression.
What she didn't know was that at the moment the world paused, Keqing, Ningguang, and Xiao had once again witnessed someone walking the Path, and even witnessed the communication between Aeon of Abundance and Luo Feng.
"We encountered something."
Mona's voice woke Keqing up. She shook her head and let out a long breath.
"Did I miss something?"
Ningguang frowned tightly.
So far, among the 5 passengers of the Number One Astral Express, three have successfully paid homage to a Aeon and obtained The Power of Destiny.
Unfortunately, Ningguang had not yet found the opportunity to walk the Path.
Aeon of Abundance does not refuse others' requests.
Perhaps wishing directly to Her could grant the power of Abundance.
'No, if it's just a wish, perhaps I can only obtain the body of Abundance, not The Power of Destiny.'
'And at that time, I couldn't even speak.'
Ningguang sighed deeply.Morax looked at Ningguang, Keqing, and Xiao.
Being astute, he could naturally sense the turmoil in their hearts.
'Could it be that someone has walked the Path?'
Thinking of the time he was granted a Path by the Aeon of Preservation, Morax immediately looked at Qiqi on the screen.
And seeing Qiqi, who seemed perfectly fine, Morax became even more certain of his thoughts.
......
'Not only inviting me, but also telling me not to accept invitations from other Aeons?'
'What does this mean? In Yaoshi's eyes, other Aeons will also invite me?'
'Yaoshi's promise to continue granting Path Power to people like Qiqi was also an action taken to invite me?'
'But why would Yaoshi the Abundance do this?
Even if She treats me as the trailblaze aeon, She doesn't need to go this far, right?'
'It couldn't be because of the System, could it?'
Luo Feng reviewed the previous events, resting his chin in his hand.
Then, he shook his head again and turned to look at Qiqi.Compared to thinking about Abundance's purpose, what was happening right now was more concerning to Luo Feng.
"Qiqi, are you okay now?"
"Are you... looking for something?"
Baizhu looked strangely at Qiqi, who was looking around as if searching for something.
Of course, what made Baizhu even more strange was that Qiqi seemed to be fine in an instant.
Yet he clearly hadn't seen any signs of Qiqi getting better.
"Dr. Bai, I'm fine now, please don't worry."
"I'm looking for Lord Luo Feng."
Qiqi said.
" Luo Feng? Did he come just now?"
"Did he heal you?"
"Your movements and speaking speed seem more normal now too. Is this also Luo Feng's doing?"
Baizhu breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously.
Compared to before, Qiqi's speaking speed was noticeably faster than after eating Luo Feng's Abundance cuisine.
In terms of speaking speed, the current Qiqi was no different from a normal person.
"This... probably counts."
Qiqi thought for a moment, then said.
[Dehya: I was wondering how Qiqi got better in the blink of an eye. So Luo Feng came by.]
[Arataki Itto: As expected of Luo Feng. We didn't even see a shadow of him, and Qiqi was healed.]
[Paimon: If Qiqi needed Luo Feng to treat her, doesn't that mean that Cloud Retainers Cleansing Dew thing is harmful?]
[Schubert:!!!]
[Kuki Shinobu: But Qiqi said "probably". She doesn't seem very sure that she was treated by Luo Feng.]
[Ningguang: No, I think Qiqi meant that she was able to be treated not just with Luo Feng's help, but also with the help of another.]
[Keqing: Luo Feng was the guide, the one who actually performed the treatment was that other person.]
[Xiao: Hmm.]
[Kaveh: Weren't you three not by Qiqi's side?
How would you know... Wait, you're all passengers of the Astral Express, possessing Luo Fengs Blessing. Could it be... could it be that Qiqi...]
[Lisa: A Aeon, has appeared?]
[Tartaglia: A Aeon appeared?! Does that mean Qiqi gained The Power of Destiny of the Path of Abundance? How is that possible? She hasn't undergone extreme combat!]
[Dehya: Yeah, it's good that Qiqi can recover. But without going through combat, how could she suddenly gain The Power of Destiny?]
[Nahida: Could it be, similar to my past situation?]
[Dehya: L-Lesser Lord Kusanali?!]
"You said... should?"
Hearing Qiqi's answer, Baizhu frowned in confusion.
"Let me explain. The situation is actually like this."
"To summarize in one sentence, Qiqi met Aeon of Abundance through Luo Fengs Blessing."
"Aeon of Abundance bestowed upon Qiqi The Power of Destiny of the Path of Abundance, and then she recovered."
Hu Tao said.
"Met Yaoshi the Abundance?"
Baizhu was startled and quickly looked at Qiqi.
Qiqi nodded in agreement, then raised her hand to summon the Cryo Apparition.
"This is!"
A look of surprise appeared in Baizhu's eyes.
There was a time when Qiqi had shown him the ability to summon Cryo Apparitions many times before...
0 0
Although the Cryo Apparitions summoned by Qiqi in the past contained healing power.
But this power was not strong.
Compared to using the Cryo Apparitions to heal others, Baizhu preferred that they could be used to prevent precious medicinal herbs from warming up and spoiling.
However, the Cryo Apparition summoned by Qiqi now contained a trace of Qiqi's The Power of Destiny of the Path of Abundance.
Just by standing near the Cryo Apparition, Baizhu could even feel a sense of being healed.
Vaguely, Baizhu could also see a trace of emerald green energy within this small, entirely blue and white Cryo Apparition.
Evidently, that was a manifestation of The Power of Destiny of the Path of Abundance.
"Congratulations, Qiqi."
"Congratulations on gaining The Power of Destiny of the Path of Abundance."
Baizhu exhaled, looking at Qiqi sincerely.
[Tartaglia: No, is that how you confirm Qiqi has embarked on the Path of Abundance? Didn't she just summon a small blue and white ice orb?]
[Tighnari: Dr. Baizhu must have sensed something, otherwise he wouldn't have said something like that.]
[Barbara: That doesn't seem like an ordinary small ice orb. I think I saw the power of Abundance within it.]
[Wriothesley: Barbara is a practitioner who has embarked on the Path of Abundance. Since she says so, then Qiqi should indeed have embarked on the Path of Abundance.]
[Clorinde: Neuvillette should have sensed it too.]
[La Signora: So, Qiqi met Aeon of Abundance! Embarking on a Path without going through combat, is her situation really similar to Nahida's?]
[Balladeer: Similar to Lesser Lord Kusanali's situation? I don't understand. If Qiqi is similar to Nahida, she should have already met a Aeon when she went to the Universe.]
[Arataki Itto: What's the point of thinking so much? As long as Qiqi shows greater strength than before, she must have gained The Power of Destiny.]
[Tartaglia: That's true, but where is there an opportunity for Qiqi to demonstrate her strength now? They can't just fight among themselves.]
After Baizhu and Neuvillette saw the emerald green power in Qiqi's hand,
No matter how surprised they were, they had to believe the fact that Qiqi had already embarked on the Path of Abundance.
"It's just that I don't quite understand why you would embark on the Path of Abundance so suddenly?"
Baizhu asked curiously, mixed with envy.
"Um... I'm not very clear either."
Although Qiqi also went to the mental universe, she did not hear Luo Feng's words, so she couldn't provide an answer.
"Regarding this, let me explain."
"I remember Luo Feng said this before."
After a moment of thought, Hu Tao relayed Luo Feng's previous speculation about Qiqi meeting Aeon of Abundance.
Everyone on the Teyvat Continent looked towards Qiqi after hearing Hu Tao's statement.
They were all shocked and curious about everything that happened in the mental universe space.
