Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

"Hey! What are you mumbling about so early in the morning? You scared me."

When Shen He finally got up in the morning to continue making her "Giant Wind and Cloud Puppet", she couldn't help but shout to Li Mochen. This guy, who usually doesn't talk or sing very well, once he starts to mutter to himself, he can compete with a comedy star.

"Ah? Sister Shenhe, what are you talking about?"

"I'm asking you, why do you keep talking about it?"

Well, this is a long story. Li Mochen shook his head and told Shenhe about his experience of learning the "outdoor scene technique" from Teacher Ping last night.

"So that's how it is...Are you okay with your brain?"

Li Mochen thought Shenhe would comfort him, but she just gave him a caring greeting.

"Why do you say that?"

"I'm not looking down on you. You're just a half-immortal kid. How dare you learn the art of exterior scenery from Sister Ping?"

"Are you overestimating your own abilities? You want to run before you even learn to walk?"

"No, you want to bite the dragon's tail without even drinking milk. Isn't that courting death?"

Shenhe glanced at Li Mochen, his eyes full of helplessness.

Sister Ping's exterior scene technique is so powerful, it is a magical power of the immortal level, even Shenhe himself can't learn it, let alone the emperor. And Li Mochen actually wants to learn it, Shenhe hopes that he will go to the Qiuqiu people to learn how to dance the great spirit.

"I know... I know I'm overestimating my own abilities. I just want to become stronger."

After being mocked by Shenhe, Li Mochen could only admit it with a wry smile. After all, he did not have the half-immortal bloodline like Ganyu, so it was difficult for him to become stronger.

After all, it is impossible for humans to become immortals, let alone mortals like Li Mochen who do not have the eyes of God. The God Crane saw his loss and desire.

"If you really want to become stronger through 'mental imagery', you should go find someone to help you instead of going crazy here."

Although Shen He did not understand the "art of exterior scene", she knew that there was someone who was very good at it, or was forced to be good at it.

"Hmm? Besides Grandma Ping, is there anyone else who is proficient in the 'art of exterior sceneries'?"

"No, but although that person is not proficient in the 'External Scenery Technique', he is good at using 'Mental Imagery' to improve his combat effectiveness."

"Who is this awesome?"

"You have met before... the Great Sage Xiao."

Xiao? Hearing this name, Li Mochen was stunned. He had seen this person before, but in his impression, Xiao didn't seem to be the kind of person who could perform sophisticated magic. He was more like a warrior who wielded a spear to fight.

In response, Shenhe explained without reservation: "Do you know Xiao's identity?"

"The Great Saint who conquers demons, the Yaksha who protects the Dharma?"

Li Mochen remembered that these were the two titles he saw in the Daoist Fellow System. Although it was a bit strange that Xiao had two titles, it was nothing special.

"That was now. During the war, Xiao was no longer a guardian Yasha, but a killing machine controlled by his master."

Master? Killing machine?

Li Mochen frowned. This didn't sound good.

"The reason Xiao was chosen is that he was born with an extremely powerful 'mental image'."

"Born strong? That means his soul power is very strong."

"Yes, but the way he uses 'mental imagery' is different from 'external scene technique'. It is used to strengthen himself."

Shen He's understanding of "mental image" is broader than that of Grandma Ping. In her view, "mental image" is a manifestation of soul power, but some people are stronger and some are weaker.

"In addition to immortals, ordinary creatures also have 'mental images' and can use this power to strengthen themselves. Just like giraffes evolved long necks generation after generation in order to eat leaves high up; coconut crabs evolved claws that can pry open coconuts in order to eat hard coconuts; chameleons can gradually change the color of their skin in order to avoid natural enemies."

"These are all biological changes brought about by 'mental images', but the process is extremely slow."

"This should be attributed to biological evolution..."

"What do you say?"

"It's okay, let's continue talking about Xiao."

Shen He glared at Li Mochen and continued. According to her, as a Yaksha, Xiao's body is invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, and he is almost immortal.

This physical change is the transformation of Xiao's "mental image" reflected in reality. He allows the power of the soul to integrate into the body and merge with every cell to achieve the "ideal diamond body".

After such training, few people, whether immortals or demons, can surpass Xiao in physical strength. That is why Xiao is so difficult to deal with, and can tear the enemy apart even when injured.

"So, if you want to quickly master the 'Exterior Scenery Technique', Xiao will be of great help to you."

"But Teacher Ping asked me to first learn how to use the 'heart image' to contain the 'heart image of ten thousand calamities', this..."

"Once you come back from Xiao, this little thing will be much easier. Go ahead and do it."

Before Li Mochen could think clearly, the divine crane had already pushed him out of the cave. Only after watching his back disappear did the divine crane breathe a sigh of relief.

"The noisy guy finally left. His chatter was making my head explode."

Thinking of Li Mochen's "My forehead is big" muttering, Shen He couldn't help but tremble. But he said that he and Xiao were friends, so that was good. If he brought up the past for no reason, he might get beaten up by Xiao.

Shenhe was thinking this while he was enthusiastically making the "Giant Wind and Cloud Puppet".
