The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 36 Young Immortal
The Bishui River flowing north formed a wetland in Dihuazhou. It continued to flow south through the tall stone gate, and reeds were everywhere as far as the eye could see. It was also the only way from Mondstadt to Liyue by land, so caravans often stopped here to rest.

Wangshu Inn, built deep in the river beach, is the landmark building here. It is the largest inn on the way from Liyue to Mondstadt, and is a place where many merchants, travelers and adventurers stop and rest.

Head north from Wangshu Inn, cross Dihuazhou, and you will arrive at Shimen.

It is said that before the Demon War, Ogihua Island was still a land. It was the landslide caused by the war that flooded the area and turned it into a wetland.

Due to the influence of the war, there are many monsters in Dihua Island that have grown from the remains of the Demon God. Fortunately, [Great Sage Conquering Demons] Xiao has been guarding this place for more than a hundred years and has not allowed the monsters to interfere too much with the lives of the Liyue people.

Chen Tianfeng recalled the background introduction in the game, led the horse, and walked into Wangshu Inn with the merchants.

The waiter came up to greet him, quietly looked at Chen Tianfeng's attire, and smiled: "Sir, are you staying overnight or staying at the hotel?"

"Stay in the hotel, are there any good single rooms?"

"Yes, yes, there are two more." The waiter took the reins and said, "One window faces north, overlooking the scenery of Dihua Island; the other window faces west, overlooking the sparkling lake. Both are excellent locations, you can choose."

"Are there windows facing north?" Chen Tianfeng looked at the waiter and said, "Brother, don't scare me. The windows face north, so how bad is the lighting?"

"I dare not lie to you, sir. No matter which direction the windows face, the lighting in each room of our Wangshu Inn is excellent." The waiter puffed out his chest and said proudly, "To be honest, sir, Wangshu Inn was once blessed by an immortal, which is why it is so magical."

"I see."

Chen Tianfeng nodded, "Can you take me to have a look and then make a decision?"

"of course can!"

The waiter of the inn waved his hand, and the maid who was waiting nearby came over quickly: "Sir, just follow her. I will go and arrange for your precious horse."

"Thank you for your help." Chen Tianfeng thanked him and took the bag off the horse's back, not forgetting to remind him: "I want the best fodder. If possible, ask the master to help wash it. Don't worry, Mora is not a problem."

"Yes, I've made note of it. Don't worry, sir, it's definitely top-quality fodder!" the inn waiter assured, patting his chest.

Carrying his luggage in one hand, Chen Tianfeng said goodbye to Curry, and after agreeing on a departure time, he followed the inn's maid to the inn's elevator.

The maid wanted to take the luggage, but Chen Tianfeng refused with a smile.

The luggage is too heavy, so don’t make it difficult for others.

The elevator of Wangshu Inn is like an exquisite pavilion. Through the carved wooden windows, the things on the ground gradually become smaller and the vision gradually becomes wider. The power source of the elevator should be the huge waterwheel standing on one side of the inn, which is connected by a special rope and pulley, and is very stable.

What the inn waiter said was right, the lighting in both rooms was very good, and the internal facilities and layout were also consistent.

Chen Tianfeng thought about it and decided to choose the room with the window facing west.

After taking the room key and putting down his luggage, Chen Tianfeng thought for a moment and called the maid who was about to leave: "Excuse me, is there a place to wash clothes in the inn?"

"Yes, there is a public laundry area on the west side of the first floor of the inn." The maid replied, "If you want to save some time, the inn also has a special laundry room. It only takes half a day from washing to drying."

"And drying?" Chen Tianfeng was surprised: "What method do you use?"

"The stamen of the flaming flower."

"incredible."

Chen Tianfeng couldn't help but sigh.

The Flame Flower is a rather magical plant on the continent of Teyvat. It can gather and absorb fire elements. The flower burns fiercely, releasing high temperature and flames. If you want to pick the stamens, you must extinguish the flames with water. But even if it is extinguished by water, the buds that are about to bloom still emit heat.

When the water dissipates, the pistil becomes an excellent, stable and long-lasting heat source.

In the wild of Teyvat, there are many places where flame flowers grow.

Just like the division of yin and yang between heaven and earth, the Fiery Flower has a corresponding ice-attribute plant - the Ice Mist Flower.

The stamens of the ice mist flower are icy cold. I heard that in the hot summer, some people will use the stamens of the ice mist flower instead of ice cubes to lower the temperature in the room and enjoy comfort and coolness.

In addition to the flame flower and ice mist flower, there is also a peculiar "flower" on the continent of Teyvat - the deception flower.

The Trickster is a special plant-like monster. If divided by element, it can be divided into seven types: Fiery Trickster, Frost Trickster, Electric Trickster
It is said that the bludger has the potential to evolve. For example, if the blazing bludger accumulates enough fire elements and absorbs the ancient flames surging in the earth veins, it will evolve into a giant elemental plant [explosive tree].

The Explosive Tree has an explosive personality, as if it is full of rage and never stops.

In addition, there are [Frozen Tree], [Lightning Tree], etc. There are also rumors that they evolved from the corresponding Deception Flower.

Chen Tianfeng took the clothes that needed to be washed to the laundry room, left his room number, and went straight to the top floor of the inn with the Lianli Zhenxin Powder in his pocket.

The top floor is an observation deck. Miniature rockery models and large potted plants are placed next to the wooden railings. The floor is made of wooden boards of unknown wood, but it feels an indescribable texture when you step on it, which is quite magical.

Chen Tianfeng looked up at the tree above his head, whose name he could not tell. Its leaves were as bright as gold, and they stood out against the ancient green tiles, which was very beautiful.

Chen Tianfeng looked around and didn't see any other figure except himself. He was not in a hurry and walked to the railing, overlooking the late autumn scenery of Liyue.

"The endless fallen leaves rustle down, while the endless Yangtze River rolls on."

He sighed, as if at this moment he understood the sighs of the ancients.

For thousands of years, the feelings of being a stranger in a foreign land have been the same.

“Which river is the Yangtze River?”

Suddenly a voice came from beside him, Chen Tianfeng turned around and looked, and as expected, he saw Liyue's demon-slaying sage, the young immortal, Xiao.

"It is the longest river in my hometown, and few people in Liyue know about it."

Chen Tianfeng explained and bowed: "Are you Xiao?"

"Ah."

Xiao nodded, his face expressionless, and after a pause, he seemed to think this was too cold, and added: "What do you want?"

"I was asked by Mr. Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall in Liyue Harbor to deliver medicine to you." Chen Tianfeng took out the [Lianli Zhenxin Powder] and handed it to Xiao.

"Thank you!"

Xiao took the medicine, put it away, looked up at Chen Tianfeng, and wondered what to say next and how to fulfill the Emperor's instructions.

It's just that he was not good at expressing himself, and he had a blank expression on his face when thinking, which made Chen Tianfeng's smile freeze. He wondered in his heart whether this dwarf immortal wanted to jump up and shoot him.

And if he really thought so, how could he clearly and quickly shout out the words "I am the disciple of Emperor Yanwang" which were three-quarters true and seven-quarters false.

"May I have your name?"

Xiao seemed to have finally come up with an idea, and the coldness on his face faded a little.

“…I am Chen Tianfeng.”

Chen Tianfeng clasped his fists again and took a step back without leaving a trace.

"My name is Xiao."

"Uh... I know."

"From now on, if you are in Liyue and encounter any danger, just call me by my name."

"what?"

"Anytime, anywhere, I will rush over immediately to resolve your crisis."

"no···"

“That’s fair.”

Xiao remained calm, his expression serious, and his voice solemn: "If you deliver the medicine for me, I will keep you safe. This is fair."
