Pai Meng: "That's true."

Lingkong: "These flowers will be used at Lord Yan's funeral."

Boss: "Lord Yan... Alas, I heard bad news after that immortal ceremony. If it's for Lord Yan, I won't charge you for these flowers. Just send them as a token of my appreciation."

Pai Meng: “Is this really appropriate?”

Boss: "How can you say that? Without Prince Yan, how can we ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment? If it weren't for Prince Yan's poem, these colorful flowers wouldn't have the value they have today."

Pai Meng: “I heard about the customs and practices of Liyue along the way. Many of them have received direct care from the gods themselves at some point in time.”

Zhongli: "Anyway, I have to thank the boss for solving our urgent problem."

Pai Meng: "You almost made us pay for the mistake you made."

Lingkong: "Thanks to the boss' generosity, he didn't ask us for money."

Boss: "Hey, it's just a small thing. What I did for Lord Yan is really insignificant."

Pai Meng: "Now that we have the flowers, we can use them to make perfume."

Zhongli: "It would be best to find someone who has experience in making incense, but I don't know anyone who can make incense by themselves."

Pai Meng: “I can tell from listening to it that Zhongli’s friends are all rich people who don’t work.”

Zhongli: "So I'd like to trouble you to go ask around in the city. For example, young ladies from wealthy families."

Pai Meng: "Leave it to us."

Zhongli: "After you make the ointment, you can go to the fairy platform to find me."

Lingkong: "You agreed so easily? Do you know who to look for?"

Pai Meng: "A girl like that who smells so good must know where to make perfume."

Lingkong: "Go to the Adventurer's Guild first. If that doesn't work, you can only spend money to buy information."

The Adventurer's Guild not only accepts commissions, but also sells information.

I asked several young ladies along the way, but they didn't have any useful information.

At this time, Lingkong had already walked to the door of the Adventurer's Association.

Lingkong: "There's no other way. Let's go in and ask."

The lady at the front desk said she had no information on this.

Lingkong: "It's troublesome. The Adventurer's Association doesn't even know about it."

"Mr. Lingkong." The short-haired woman walked over and said, "Nice to meet you."

Lingkong: "Who are you?"

Short-haired woman: "I am Minglan, the head of the Liyue branch of the Liyue Adventurer's Association. Mr. Lingkong, do you want to accept the commission?"

Lingkong: "No, I want to find someone who can make ointment."

Ming Lan: "Haven't you heard of Ying'er's handmade ointment? Many rich ladies would ask her to make ointments. The ointments she makes are better than those sold on the market. Her ointment workshop is in..."

Lingkong: "Thank you, sister. This information fee..."

Ming Lan: "I'll give you this information for free. I hope Mr. Lingkong can come to the association more often to accept commissions."

After Minglan's instructions, Lingkong went to Chunxiang Kiln to find Miss Ying'er.

After learning Lingkong's intention, Ying'er said with a smile: "You actually want to make three different kinds of ointments at the same time? Are you going to give them to different sweethearts?"

Lingkong: "No, no, this is not for picking up girls, it's an ointment for offering sacrifices to the gods."

Ying'er: "Haha, even if it's for offering to the gods, there doesn't need to be so many kinds."

Lingkong: "We are following ancient rituals. It's normal that you don't understand."

Ying'er: "In short, you should pick flowers when they are in bloom, and don't wait until there are no flowers left to pick empty branches... Who can say you are wrong?"

Pai Meng: "I don't understand again."

Ying'er: "Young man, you can be my assistant. While I'm boiling the ointment, you have to focus on me."

Lingkong: "Can I help you? Can I get a discount?"

Ying Er: "No discount, but there are benefits. Come on, little brother, you grind the ointment yourself, the girls will be touched.

Lingkong held the pestle, Ying'er held his hand, grinding it slowly. The pestle was soft and moist, with a faint virgin fragrance, and Lingkong's old face could not help but blush.

Ying'er: "Add water slowly. Yes, hold the pestle gently, with your palms pressed tightly against it so that it won't slip easily. Then stir it at the rhythm that suits you best until the juice of the colorful flower comes out..."

After an unknown amount of time, Ying'er finally finished making three batches of ointment and packed them in different boxes for Lingkong.

Ying'er: "These three kinds of perfumes have their own characteristics. The perfume packaged in a pink box has a sweet and dreamy feeling, which is the favorite of little girls.

The perfume packaged in a gold box smells luxurious and is the favorite of rich girls.

The last type is the perfume packaged in a red box. It has a gentle but long-lasting fragrance, like the dim sky and hazy fog. It is most popular among mature women.

Remember? Don’t use it in the wrong situation.”

Lingkong: "I said it's for offering sacrifice to the gods."

Ying Er: "Haha, if you want to have three relationships at the same time, you should think carefully about which foot to lift first. Okay, I'll give you 300 Mora. Come to Chunxiang Kiln to accompany me when you are free."

After getting the ointment, the two went to find Zhongli.

Pai Meng: "What did she mean by three-timing? I didn't understand."

Lingkong: "Children should not ask about adult matters."

Pai Meng: "Humph, it's definitely not a good thing."

At the Qingxiantai, Zhongli seemed to be in a daze as he looked at the statue.

Paimeng: "Mr. Zhongli, we brought the ointment."

Lingkong: "Sorry for the wait, Mr. Zhongli."

Zhongli: "Oh, you guys are back. I didn't wait long. Compared to the Rock King's watch carved on the statue, it was just a short moment."

Pai Meng: "Uh, haha, how can a person compare to a statue?"

Zhongli: "Thank you for your hard work, let's try to offer them up in order."

Paimeng: "The first balm is sweet and dreamy..."

Paimeng has a good memory and said exactly what Ying'er said.

After the third kind of ointment was applied, the statue began to flash with light and actually responded.

Pai Meng: "Just now it was... a style that mature women like, right? Could it be that the Rock King is actually a big sister?"

Zhongli: "Haha, maybe. There are thousands of incarnations of the Rock King. Maybe there really is such an image."

Pai Meng: "It's a pity that we only saw that particularly huge dragon form... I hope the Liyue Seven Stars can catch the real murderer."

Zhongli: "Let those who are in high positions worry about that. We just need to prepare a farewell gift for the Rock King."

Pai Meng: "So, we have completed one preparation. What is the next one?"

Zhongli: "Next, I hope you two can borrow the Dust Cleansing Bell for me."

Pai Meng: "Dust-cleaning bell?"

Zhongli: "The one who is keeping the Dichen Bell right now is a friend of mine. She is near Yujing Terrace. If you ask her to borrow it, she will know the way."

Lingkong: "Mr. Zhongli won't go with us?"

Zhongli: "I have a reason why I cannot show up. I'm sorry to bother you two."

Pai Meng: "Why are you so secretive?"

The two went to Yujingtai.

Lingkong: "The name of the Cleansing Dust Bell sounds like a magical instrument. It's getting more and more interesting."

Pai Meng: "What kind of magic weapon is this?"

Lingkong: "You'll know when you meet Grandma Ping."

The two saw a white-haired old lady on Yujing Terrace who seemed to be admiring flowers.

Lingkong: "Grandma Ping?"

Grandma Ping: "Are you here to enjoy the flowers? Unfortunately, all the glazed lilies are about to wither."

Pai Meng: "It's still summer, why are all these flowers withered?"

Grandma Ping: "Lily lilies are very human-like. If they hear good sounds, such as laughter or singing, they will be happy and grow well.

But if, on the other hand, they listen to too many bad voices, such as messy gossip, they will wither quickly.”
