Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

"Huh? But I just arrived at the inn and the owner asked you to see me. Is there something urgent?"

Li Mochen looked at Xiao in confusion. He was not interested in the conflict between Li Mochen and Ying. Xiao's mission was to eliminate the monsters in Liyue, and he never asked about other things.

"That's a question... Hey! Do you want to run away?"

Li Mochen was about to explain his purpose when he saw Ying trying to take Paimeng away from the corner of his eye. Seeing that Xiao and Li Mochen knew each other, Ying frowned and planned to leave quietly.

However, her actions were seen through by Li Mochen, who shouted coldly: "Humph, if you don't leave now, are you waiting for your friends to deal with me together?"

Ying turned around and responded in the same cold tone: "Humph, if I don't leave now, am I going to be besieged by the two of you?"

Obviously, Xiao and Li Mochen knew each other, and they might even be friends. Xiao was very powerful, and was undoubtedly one of the legendary immortals in Liyue. If Ying still stayed here to fight, she would have a problem with her brain, so it would be better for her to leave first.

"Don't worry, he won't interfere in our fight."

"You have no say. I don't believe you can keep your word."

"…So what are you going to do? Don't even think about running away. If you do, I'll post your picture all over the city."

"Are you out of your mind?"

Ying was not afraid of Li Mochen's threats, but she also didn't want her photos to be everywhere. So she made a proposal that both sides could accept: "If you really want to decide the winner, let's meet in a week."

“A week later?”

"I have some business to attend to outside of Liyue. I will be back in a week. We will meet at Qingce Manor then."

After saying that, Ying and Paimon quickly ran away.

"What does this mean? See you in a week? Are you going to fight me?"

Li Mochen looked at Ying's receding back and touched the back of his head awkwardly. He was not in a hurry to compete with Ying, the key point was that she was a high-ranking member of the "Abyss Cult" and had a great relationship with her.

Does Ying's appearance in Liyue mean that the cult is planning something? The "Ceremony of Inviting Immortals" will be held in two weeks, and the Rock King will come to Liyue. If the "Abyss Cult" interferes at this time, it will be a big trouble. He must defeat Ying and learn the plans of these inhuman creatures from her.

But the question is, can I really defeat Ying in a week? Can I defeat that monster?

There is no doubt that Ying's strength is stronger than he imagined. Li Mochen's progress has been very fast, but this woman is even faster. The mixture of wind and rock power, plus the powerful "Humus Sword", makes people have no temper.

At this moment, Xiao came to Li Mochen and asked, "Do you plan to fight that girl again in a week?"

“Yes, I have to beat her.”

"Really? If I hadn't shown up just now, you would have probably lost."

Xiao looked in the direction where Ying left, his tone firm.

I will most likely lose...it seems to make sense.

Li Mochen was stunned for a moment, then sighed. Indeed, if he continued to fight with Ying just now, he was not sure of winning.

"But I will still go and fight her. I can't lose no matter what."

Li Mochen clenched his fists, determination flashing in his eyes.

"...What a great determination. So, why did you come to Wangshu Inn to find me in the first place?"

Xiao finally returned to the original question.

Hmm? Yeah, didn’t I come to Xiao to ask how to use “mental imagery” to become more powerful?

If we can learn to fight using "mental images", wouldn't it be easy to defeat Ying?

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Li Mochen looked at Xiao with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He then explained in detail how he learned the "art of exterior scenery" from Grandma Ping, and how, at the suggestion of Shenhe, he went to seek advice from Xiao, a powerful warrior who was good at "mental imagery".

"I see. You want to ask me how to use 'mental imagery' to influence combat."

Perhaps Xiao admired Li Mochen's determination and was not angry because he mentioned the past.

"You did grab the tip of my and Ying's swords with your hands just now. Your body must be very stiff. Is this the effect of 'mental image'?"

Li Mochen looked at Xiao's palm and recalled the shocking scene just now.

As a "Three-Eyed Five-Manifested Immortal" who controls the wind element, it is impossible for Xiao to strengthen himself with the rock element. Therefore, his ability to grab the sword with his bare hands obviously comes from his diamond-like body.

"I don't know if it's hard or not, but it is definitely related to what the immortals call 'heart image'."

When Xiao mentioned this word, he turned around and looked down at his body.

During the long battle of more than two thousand years, he had endured countless attacks, but none of them could kill him, and most of them could not even cause him pain.

This extreme physique is the result of his long-term use of "mental images" to transform his body.

"So, can you teach me a little bit about this mental image fighting method? Please!"

After getting Xiao's confirmation, Li Mochen hurriedly bowed and asked, hoping to get guidance from this Yaksha.

However, when Xiao heard his request, he frowned slightly and looked a little troubled.

“Actually…I don’t really recommend you do this.”

After a moment, Xiao answered Li Mochen like this.

"What do you mean? Are you afraid that I can't learn it? I'm very smart and I can understand a lot of things very quickly."

"I'm not afraid that you won't be able to learn, but I'm afraid that you'll die in the process of practicing. That doesn't feel good."

What? Hearing Xiao's calm reply, Li Mochen's eyes widened.

No way? I just learned a "mental image" fighting technique?

This... is life-threatening?
