Genshin Impact: A Martial Arts Master's Journey to Teyvat

Several people went to Liyue’s large gambling stone trading market, where it was easy to buy Yebo Stone.

Zhongli entered a shop called Jie Cuihang.

Boss: "Hey, sir, welcome to Jie Cui Hang. Would you like to try your luck with two rough stones? It's cheap and fun. Maybe you'll get rich before you know it."

Zhongli: "We are here to pick the Night Stone, the quality must be at least Candlelight Grade."

Boss: "You are an expert. I will get the goods right away."

The boss took out three pieces of Yebo Stone and said, "Look, what do you think of this? We are a time-honored jade brand. Look at the quality. It is absolutely excellent. You can choose it with confidence."

Pai Meng: "These three Yebo stones are indeed very beautiful. They don't look like the ones that are usually dug out, but how do I choose?"

Lingkong: "Mr. Zhongli, I'm not good at picking up stones. You must know how to pick them up, right?"

Zhongli: "You want me to choose? Well, if I were to ask you, the answer is actually very simple. Boss, I want them all."

Boss: "Well, sir, you are very generous and generous..."

Pai Meng: "Wait, Boss, what he said doesn't count. Let's discuss it again."

Lingkong: "Mr. Zhongli, don't we only need one type of Night Stone? Is it necessary to buy so many?"

Pai Meng: “That’s right, if we buy all of them, wouldn’t that be a waste of three times the money?”

Lingkong: "It's actually twice the amount of funds. Mr. Zhongli, you are not going to pocket the money yourself, are you? You should have informed us in advance about this."

Zhongli: "I didn't intend to do that. Well, it was indeed my fault for not considering the limited funds."

Pai Meng: “How can you buy things without considering money?”

Zhongli: "Money is always the first consideration in everything, which means that money is the only thing that restricts your actions."

Pai Meng: “Huh?”

Zhongli: "Mora is naturally a currency, but currency is not naturally Mora."

Lingkong: "Mr. Zhongli knows a lot about economics."

Pai Meng: “Is this the world of the rich? Although they understand macroeconomics very well, they don’t know how to save a little money?”

Lingkong: "Mr. Zhongli, when we have limited funds, we should not spend money so lavishly. Otherwise, the young master will be dissatisfied and your business will fail."

"It doesn't matter. Even if Mora has my hands tied, I still have a way to solve the problem." Zhongli said: "The identification of the quality of the Night Stone is indeed difficult.

Regardless of whether a piece of raw ore is good or bad, its texture, color and internal rock patterns will not be much different.

Only after the objects made of Yebo Stone are formed, one will find that some of the finished products are not even presentable.

If you go and argue with those profiteers now, they will use excuses like your synthesis platform is not good or the temperature is not right. "

Pai Meng: "It turns out this thing is so easy to be deceived."

Lingkong: "Is there no way to distinguish good from bad?"

Zhongli: "A true expert can still identify it. It's like a fool pointing at the moon, looking at the finger instead of the moon."

Pai Meng: “I don’t understand.”

Zhongli: "You point your finger at the moon. Smart people can understand that you are pointing at the moon, but stupid people can only see the finger in front of them, not the moon.

The lines and shells are all fingers. The Night Stone is a strange stone used for night lighting. The importance of its brightness is equivalent to that of the moon in the sky.

High-quality night stones have a higher affinity for the element of fire, which means that under high temperatures, the brighter and bluer the ore, the better its appearance. "

Lingkong: "Mr. Zhongli is indeed an expert."

Zhongli: "I have told you the secret of the jade world, which is worth a thousand gold. What remains is to put it into practice."

Pai Meng: "Boss, we are here to choose stones. Please burn the stones for us."

The boss said: "Burn it? You can't burn it, gentlemen. How can I sell it after you burn it?"

Lingkong: "Can we just have a little sample?"

The boss said: "That's fine. I'll give you some samples. I'll take a sample from each of the three stones. I'll make a small loss, but I'll just consider it as making friends."

Zhongli: "I understand the rules of the business world. As long as we can prove that the mine is good, I will not let you suffer any loss."

The boss took a little sample from each of the three pieces of ore and carefully marked them with numbers.

Pai Meng: "It's too thin, thinner than paper, thinner than an insect's wings, so thin that it's almost transparent."

Lingkong: "Boss, your cooking skills are really admirable."

Boss: "Hey, thank you. These stones are my treasures. I have to be careful. If I accidentally cut too many, it will really cost me my life."

Pai Meng: "But if it's this thin, won't it turn into ashes immediately if it encounters fire?"

Zhongli: "It doesn't matter. Under special conditions, these flakes are enough."

Pai Meng: "Special conditions? What are they?"

Zhongli: "By applying the high temperature of fire and protecting it with the elemental power of water, the sample will not be burned instantly."

Boss: "This gentleman is so knowledgeable and more professional than many of his peers in the jade industry. I really admire him."

Zhongli: "To be fair, we didn't make a promise to buy, so asking for samples is unfair. Liyue's contract law must be based on fairness at all times."

Pai Meng: "Then the next step is to find a place to conduct the experiment."

Lingkong: "Let me confirm again, is the method Mr. Zhongli mentioned the method of boiling stones in water?"

Zhongli: “That’s right.”

Lingkong: "That's all, find a pot and boil some water, and boil these three stones."

Pai Meng: "Xiangling's kitchen."

Lingkong: "Let's not bother Xiangling. We can just use our own pot. We also have a honeycomb coal stove. We can just boil a pot of water by the lake."

Lingkong filled an iron pot with water by the lake and put the three Yebo stones in it to boil.

The three of them observed the changes of Yebo Stone from the side.

Paimeng: "The brighter and bluer the ore, the better its quality. No. 3 Night Stone is the brightest! It must be of the best quality, so I chose it."

Lingkong: "We can go back to Jie Cui Hang to buy the Night Mooring Stone now."

The owner of Jie Cui Hang: "Dear guests, we have returned. We have reserved all the Yebo stones for you. Have you decided which one you want?"

Pai Meng: "We want Night Stone No. 3."

Jie Cuihang boss: "No problem, do you want me to pack it in a paper box for you?"

Zhongli: "Give me a box of the type No. 3 Night Stone."

Boss: "Okay, can you tell me a little bit about why you guys need so many Night Stones?"

Zhongli: "It's okay to tell you, these Night Stones will be used in the Sending Immortals Ceremony."

Boss: "I have never heard of the ceremony of sending off immortals."

Pai Meng: "It's the funeral for Emperor Yan."

Boss: "I've heard some gossip recently. Lord Yan... indeed, alas, it's unbelievable. Although the stone-cutting industry is somewhat declining nowadays, our ancestors have always been blessed by Lord Yan.

It is said that two hundred years ago, Prince Yan went to the south of the city in disguise and tasted folk snacks when he got lost. He used the jade spoon of Jie Cuixing.

All is past... All is past... Well, since this is for farewell to Lord Yan, I will charge you only half the price for this box of Night Mooring Stones."
