Genshin Impact: Eternal Place

"Shu Ling, logically speaking, Master Liuyun Jiefeng shouldn't make it too difficult for me. I think low-level spells should be able to be broken. Why is it so difficult?"

"If you ask me, you deserve it. You haven't made any progress in hundreds of years. You finally have a chance, but you shouldn't take it to practice hard."

"How can it be hundreds of years?"

"Are you seeking to see the True Lord?" A sweet voice suddenly came from behind Qin Lan.

Qin Lan turned around and saw the girl who had been to Zhenjun Cave before. Now looking closely, he realized that the horns on the girl's head were not decorations, but were actually growing on her head.

"I guess so. My master is inside."

"Are you really the disciple of the True Lord? The True Lord has hardly left the mountain gate in the past hundred years. How could he accept a human disciple?"

"Uh... this is a long story. Do you know my master? Then can you teach me how to break this restriction?"

The girl blushed and said, "I, I don't know the True Lord's spell, so I can't help you."

Qin Lan was just trying it out, so after hearing the girl's reply, she smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Are you an immortal too?"

The girl touched the horns on her head and shook her head and said, "I am a hybrid of a Qilin and a human. I am a semi-immortal beast, not an immortal. The restriction set up at the entrance of Zhenjun Cave is connected to the defense formation of the entire bridge. If you want to break the restriction, you need to disconnect from the mountain protection formation first."

Qin Lan frowned: "Mountain protection formation?"

"Ganyu, ignore him, just come in." The voice of Master Liuyun Jiefeng came from the cave. The girl made a gesture of encouragement to Qin Lan, turned around and walked into the cave.

"Ganyu? Nice name. Master must have been trying to trick me. How can I possibly break through the mountain protection formation with my limited strength?"

Inside the cave

"Just let him figure it out on his own. Tell him what to do."

Gan Yu lowered her head in embarrassment, then raised her head and asked, "When did the True Lord accept you as his disciple? Why have I never seen him before?"

"This little guy is not simple. The first time I saw him was when I was drinking with Emperor Jun and Gui Zhong at Guiliji." Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng had a look of emotion on his face.

"Ah? He, he is also an immortal, how can he live so long and still be so young?"

Liuyun shook his head and said, "He is just an ordinary human being, but he is not from our continent. He..."

Outside the cave

Qin Lan grabbed his hair and stared at the spell in front of him, which relied on the power of a brush. The isolation technique he studied could only block the formation for two seconds. In other words, he only had two seconds to break the restriction. In addition, he had to block the energy transmitted by the formation from eight directions at the same time.

According to his previous idea, he would use quantity to counter quality and continue to attack the ban until it was broken. Now there are only two seconds left, and he obviously has to think of a new method.

"Do we really have to use the Holy Pages to block the energy? It feels like such a waste." Qin Lan said with a sad heart, "Wait, eight directions, could it be that the defensive formation here uses the Bagua formation?"

"It seems that I still need to go back." Qin Lan inserted the Rock Knot into the rock beside the cave and shouted into the cave: "Master, I'm going back. The things that the Emperor gave me are here with you. Please take care of them for me."

"The Emperor's things, what are they?"

"You little girl, this guy is full of bad intentions, and he wants me to help him look after his things."

After a while, no sound came out of the cave, and Qin Lan shouted again: "If you don't reply, I will take it as your consent."

Having said that, Qin Lan immediately returned to reality.

"You... bastard." The angry voice of Master Liuyun Jiefeng came out.

After Qin Lan returned to reality, she took out the tablet in the bedroom and looked up some information about the Bagua Formation.

The most basic unit of the Eight Trigrams is Yao, which is a special symbol used to record the changes in the sun's shadow. Yao has two types: Yin and Yang. Yang Yao represents sunlight, while Yin Yao represents moonlight. Each trigram has three Yaos, representing the three talents of heaven, earth, and man. The order of each trigram is from bottom to top. The bottom horizontal line is called the first Yao, the middle horizontal line is called the second Yao, and the top horizontal line is called the third Yao.

The Eight Trigrams represent eight basic objects: Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Zhen represents thunder, Xun represents wind, Gen represents mountain, Dui represents marsh, Kan represents water and Li represents fire. They are collectively called the Classic Trigrams.

"This is a big trouble. I thought that the master used the elemental power of ice to arrange the magic circle. Now it seems that she can convert her own elemental power through the Bagua. However, according to Barbatos' description, there should be seven kinds of elemental power currently existing in the continent of Teyvat. Where does the eighth elemental power come from?" Qin Lan lay on the sofa, slowly looking for the connection between the two worlds.

"So, apart from Zhen, Xun, Kan, and Li, Kun corresponds to the rock element, Dui corresponds to the ice element, and the remaining Gen should correspond to the grass element. What does Qian correspond to? This is really confusing. Does it correspond to the Sky Island?"

"No." Qin Lan sat up from the sofa. "I have to test whether my guess is correct. If it is true, then I will use the Bagua to draw my own spell, and the effect should be better."

Qin Lan returned to the continent of Teyvat. As soon as she came in, she saw the half-immortal beast wandering around her rock knot. Qin Lan looked at her with interest without making a sound.

"What should I do? This is the sword of the Emperor. I want it so much. But what should I do if that boy comes back?" The girl said in a conflicted manner as she looked at Panyan Jielv.

After a while, the girl looked back reluctantly and decided to turn around and leave. When she turned around, she saw Qin Lan sitting on the ground, yawning and looking at her.

"Ah, you you you, I, when did you come."

"I really want the emperor's sword." Qin Lan said, imitating the girl's manner.

Ganyu was filled with shame and anger, and hurriedly ran down the mountain. Unexpectedly, she lost her balance and rolled down.

Qin Lan saw this and quickly flew down the mountain to help the girl up. She looked at her and asked, "Are you okay? I was just joking."

Ganyu pushed Qin Lan away and hurriedly ran towards Liyue Harbor.

Qin Lan touched her head and asked, "Am I that scary?"

"Is what you did something a human would do?" Shu Ling said with disdain.

"Boy, you dare to bully the little girl. I will take the Rock Knot Green first. If you haven't entered when she comes next time, I will give it to the little girl."

Qin Lan hurriedly flew back to the top of the mountain, but saw that the green rock had disappeared.

"You are going too far..." Qin Lan shouted loudly into the cave, but got no response at all.
