"Is this the venue for the Immortal Sending Ceremony?" Paimon looked at the huge incense burner in the center of the venue in surprise, his eyes widened.

"But such a serious case clearly happened here..." She murmured to herself, feeling a surge of emotion and confusion in her heart.

"Haha, please rest assured, Miss Paimon. The requisition of this place is also with the tacit consent of the Liyue Seven Stars." Zhongli's voice came slowly, with a reassuring power.

"Now, the scene has been cleaned up almost completely. As for [Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation], it has also been hidden in the Golden House by the Liyue Seven Stars."

"Huh? How does Mr. Zhongli know all this?" Paimon said.

"Well... since it is a ceremony to send off the immortals, it will naturally alarm the Seven Stars of Liyue."

"So it can be considered a semi-official event, and I got to know some inside information because of it." Zhongli explained with his arms folded over his chest.

As they were talking, everyone looked back and saw Qianyu and Fulin, who were walking at the end. They were struggling to carry a full box of Yebo Stones and walking forward with difficulty.

"Huh...you guys are chatting so casually, why don't you come over and help?" Qianyu panted and couldn't help but complain.

"Don't pack Qianyu. This amount of weight is nothing to you, right?" Ying retorted with disdain.

Qianyu shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Zhongli looked at Qianyu and Fulin, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he laughed softly.

"Haha, old friends just know how to joke..." His eyes revealed a hint of warmth and kindness.

"Old friend?" Paimeng was surprised to hear this address, and she looked at Zhongli in confusion.

Obviously, Zhongli didn't know that the two people in front of him already knew that Qianyu was the God of Wind.

He instantly felt something was wrong and reacted quickly.

“Um… I mean friends who have long-term business cooperation with Wangshengtang, called old friends…” Zhongli explained.

Qianyu and Fulin looked at each other, and a helpless smile appeared on their faces.

"Yeah, that's it." Qianyu quickly agreed.

Then Qianyu and Fulin worked together to pile the Yebo Stones next to the incense burner.

"Well, thank you very much." Zhongli said.

"I have contacted the jeweler, and someone will come soon to make them into instruments."

"But as to the jeweler's wages..."

"It's okay. I'll ask you to reimburse me later." Ying said with ill intention.

"Well, it's not impossible." Qianyu also agreed.

(Tartaria: I'm in the morning class!)

"Okay, then without further ado, let's go find the next material." Zhongli said calmly.

After that, the five of them came to the [Wanyou Shop] together.

When they entered the store, they were surprised by the scene before them - all kinds of strange-shaped and colorful flowers were displayed in the store, some of which exuded strange fragrances.

"Oh, welcome, guests." The boss Bo Lai greeted them warmly.

"Boss, do you have any colorful flowers here?" Paimeng asked excitedly, waving his hands.

"Yes, may I ask which one you need?" the boss replied with a smile.

"We want... the best one." After saying that, Paimon put his hands on his hips, appearing very confident. This scene stunned Qianyu who was standing by.

"Oh, they are indeed blind foreigners." Bolai complained in his heart. He knew that although these colorful flowers were precious, they were not the top quality for those who really knew about it.

However, since the other party had already spoken, he did not say much. He just smiled and nodded to indicate that he could provide it.

"Boss, please take one of each of these three kinds of colorful flowers, 'Golden House Hidden Beauty', 'Shanyin Jin Cluster', and 'Piaomiao Xianyuan'," Zhong Kai said.

"Oh, it turns out that this master is an expert!" Then Bo Lai glanced at the four people next to Zhongli with disdain.

"The four people around you are servants, right? As servants, you shouldn't speak before the master."

"Is this the retribution for calling for Paimeng's emergency food..." Ying murmured.

Paimon and Qianyu were speechless upon hearing this. As for Fulin, she just showed a "nuclear tomb" smile, and then condensed a dragon breath in her hand.

"Excuse me, boss, what did you just say?" Fulin threatened.

Seeing this scene, Qianyu felt something was wrong and quickly extinguished the dragon breath in Fulin's hand.

At this moment, Bolai knew that he had run into a tough guy and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, Miss... No, you four... I was just joking..."

"I'll bring the neon flower over right now."

After that, three kinds of colorful flowers of different qualities were placed on the table one by one.

"Uh, it's a bit difficult to choose..." Looking at the three kinds of flowers in front of him, Paimeng was at a loss for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Zhongli stood where he was and explained in detail the types, characteristics, and origins of the three types of colorful flowers.

"Oh, it turns out that this master is an expert. Even I have never understood it so carefully." Bo Lai exclaimed.

"Boss, you are too kind. I only know a little bit."

Then Zhongli held his chin with one hand and thought for a moment.

"Well, all in all, the quality of the goods here is quite good..."

"Boss, I want them all."

"Ah? Here we go again!" Paimon said.

"Oh, just as the saying goes, when you go to the opera, you should order the most famous actor, and when you walk your bird, you should buy the most expensive thrush - this is life." Zhongli said.

"Of course, this is also to comply with an ancient Liyue tradition - placing the incense before the statue. If the Geo King is pleased, the statue will respond."

As he said this, Zhongli touched his empty pocket.

"Um...so...do you have any money?"

"Don't you have any money with you? Zhongli——" Paimon's voice was drawn out.

Ying, on the other hand, had a calm expression: "Why do I feel like I'm gradually getting used to it."

"...Wait, do you guests want to present these flowers to Prince Yan?" Bo Lai asked.

"Well, you can say that." Qianyu said.

"Oh, you should have told me earlier. I also heard a little bit about what happened at the ceremony of inviting the immortals..." As he said this, Bo Lai changed his usual behavior.

"Oh, this kind of thing..."

"In that case, I won't take your money. Just bring a token of my appreciation to Prince Yan for me." As he said that, Bo Lai took three branches of each of the three kinds of colorful flowers and handed them to Ying.

"Is this...appropriate?" Paimon asked.

"Hey, why is it inappropriate? If it weren't for Lord Yan, we common people would have no place to live..."

"Wow... Many of the things I heard about the customs and practices of Liyue along the way were, at some point, directly cared for by the gods themselves," Paimon said.

Then she glanced at Qianyu with ill intent.

"It seems that this Rock God is really dedicated to his duties, unlike the two Wind Gods in Mondstadt."

"Hehe, why are you looking at me?" Qianyu suddenly felt embarrassed.

While Ying and Paimon were not noticing, Zhongli covered his mouth and smiled.

"Anyway, now that the ingredients are ready, let's start making the ointment," Zhongli said.
