Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

"Mr. Juexi, as an immortal, you do not understand. Tell me, which mortal does not wish to become an immortal and attain immortality?"

"First of all, I am not an immortal. Secondly, Bai Shu, do you think immortality is a reward or a punishment for mortals?"

"Hehe, Mr. Juexi, in my opinion, immortality is a kind of punishment."

Jue Xi understood from Bai Shu's answer that Bai Shu had indeed studied Qi Qi's immortal power in an attempt to achieve immortality...

"Since Mr. Baishu believes it's punishment, why pursue it?"

"Let me tell you a story, Mr. Juexi."

"Alright, please begin your performance."

Upon hearing this, Juexi finally understood: Mijia's unique feature is that it's time to change the character.

"At that time, Liyue was affected by the remnants of a demon god, and a plague ravaged the land. A healer made a vow to eradicate the world's suffering, but even the most benevolent mortals with their miraculous skills could not withstand the ravages of nature. After years of practicing medicine, even his closest relatives fell ill and were about to part ways with him. Legend has it that deep in the mountains of Chenyu Valley lived the Medicine Lord, who could cure all diseases. The healer went to the mountains alone, but found only a white snake that had exhausted its strength and was barely breathing..."

The white snake spoke human language.

"Sign a contract and live with me, and I will teach you the secret method of saving lives. But never forget... this method will ultimately harm you."

"Later, the pharmacist used superhuman methods to reverse life and death and bring about miracles. But parting still came unexpectedly, only the one who passed away became the pharmacist who had exhausted his life force. In the end, the pharmacist passed the contract to his last patient. His most beloved disciple decided to use his life to save more lives... This is true for one generation after another."

"So this is your story, Bai Shu?"

"Master Juexi, don't be impatient, there's more to come... Later, after my master inherited the contract, he firmly believed in the path chosen by his ancestors and the path he himself was about to take, until he wanted to use this method to save a close relative of a junior... But she begged me not to harm her own life force. She said it was a wicked method of drinking poison to quench thirst, a poisonous art that went against the laws of nature. She said she was unwilling to sacrifice one close relative to save the life of another... Only then did my master realize that when his master passed away, what difference was there between the pain in his heart and that of the family members at his sickbed? Because the lives lost because of this contract, weren't they also worth saving? Is this contract medicine or poison? My master didn't have enough time left to find the answer, and in the last moments of his life, he entrusted this question and immortality to me..."

"Sigh..." Jue Xi sighed and asked.

"So, Bai Shu, what are your thoughts?"

"I will be... the last contractor."

Jue Xi shook her head.

"Bai Zhu, you really are greedy..."

Chapter 87 Reconciliation

After hearing this story, Juexi understood why Bai Shu was researching Qi Qi's immortal power...

"So, Bai Shu, you want to turn yourself into a zombie like Qi Qi?"

"That's right, it's also thanks to Qiqi that I was able to figure out a way to save a dying person."

"You want to be the last contractor, you want to save people, and you don't want this secret technique to be passed down, because once it's passed down, it will harm the virtuous people who inherit it. Even though they know this, they still do it without hesitation. Bai Shu, you really are a good pharmacist..."

Bai Zhu gave a wry smile and continued speaking.

"Mr. Juexi, you flatter me. I only have one request for Baizhu."

"what's up?"

"Mr. Juexi possesses the extraordinary ability to restore Qiqi from that form back to a normal person. In my opinion, your body is completely unharmed. This secret technique must be superior to mine. I hope that after my death, you will promise me that you can help those suffering from diseases to avoid harm..."

"What? Bai Shu, didn't you want to be the last contractor? You've given up?"

Bai Shu answered with a relieved expression.

"Of course I won't give up easily, but there's a better way right now. As long as you, Mr. Juexi, agree to treat this person suffering from illness, my pursuit of immortality will naturally be meaningless, and I won't need to pass on this secret technique that is either medicine or poison."

Jue Xi looked at Bai Shu with an expression that said, "If you agree, my plan will be complete." She was afraid that if she agreed today, Bai Shu would go and save people and kill her tomorrow... After thinking for a moment, she showed a disgusted expression and said.

"Huh? I wouldn't do something so troublesome. Do you think I'm like you? Bai Shu, I don't have your level of moral awareness."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand toward Bai Zhu.

Bai Shu was speechless for a moment. He really didn't expect Jue Xi to refuse so directly. Putting aside everything else, shouldn't a request from someone who was about to die be rejected so readily? Besides, it seemed that there was no price to pay for treating Qi Qi...

Jue Xi thought so too. This "Final Power" includes all powers, so it must include the power of the "Herrscher of Death." I wonder if "Creation" will be useful. I'll try it with Bai Shu; it won't kill him anyway.

Numerous vines suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the two of them. The vines seemed to be releasing some kind of strange energy... at least that's how Bai Shu saw it.

Bai Shu felt warmth directly, and after an unknown amount of time, the vines gradually dissipated. Jue Xi was also very satisfied with this "creation" ability. Jue Xi, who had used creation to restore Bai Shu's lost life force while healing others, spoke with satisfaction.

"So, my choice is that you, Bai Shu, should continue to do this troublesome thing. I can't do it."

Bai Zhu also felt that her body was more relaxed and full of energy than ever before. She felt that she could go up the mountain to collect herbs and come back without even being out of breath.

"Mr. Juexi, my life force..."

"That's right, I helped you recover, and it seems to be a little more than before. Anyway, you can live for a long time and save many people. Is your life-for-life secret technique poison or medicine? You can spend the rest of your life slowly finding the answer. If you don't find the answer before time runs out, then contact me again. Bai Shu."

Bai Shu knew that even Morax couldn't achieve this level of skill. This Jue Xi was truly a divine being sent by heaven to save him... Bai Shu quickly bowed to express his gratitude, and Jue Xi immediately helped him up.

"You're being too polite, Mr. Bai. You're a respectable and excellent pharmacist... Consider this a thank you gift for taking care of my Qiqi. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go buy some little sparrows for Qiqi. We should head back now. I need to go to Inazuma after I finish dealing with things in Liyue; I'm in a hurry."

……

Outside the theater where Juexi reigns supreme, Kiana is also trying her best to comfort Agui (the receptionist who sells Qingxin in Bubulu).

"Mr. Baizhu is alright, don't worry, don't worry."

"Mr. Bai was a grown man, gone just like that, and you're telling me it's nothing? I'm going to report to Qianyan Army! Don't stop me!"

Kiana was afraid things would escalate, so even though she wasn't afraid herself, she still held onto Agui and wouldn't let him leave. The scene became chaotic, and Qiqi watched the show with a blank expression.

"I want to drink coconut milk..."

Agui was completely unable to calm down. How could this white-haired girl be so strong? She was holding onto her so tightly that she couldn't move at all. If anyone wanted to find Bai Shu, she would have to call out. If something happened to Mr. Bai, how could she live with herself? Her conscience would never let her go. Oh well, she could only wait.

……

A long time had passed, and Agui felt that Mr. Bai was probably in grave danger, and that she herself could not protect Qianyan Army, so she cried out.

"Waaah, Mr. Bai, please take me away. I'm so sorry."

Kiana was speechless. This captain, he dragged people to dominate the theater at the drop of a hat. She'd definitely teach him a lesson when he got back.

Just as Kiana finished thinking this, Juexi and Baishu returned to Bubulu without warning.

Bai Zhu also noticed the disheveled appearance of her own staff immediately.

"Mr. Bai, I thought something bad had happened to you because of me..."

Bai Shu offered a wry smile as he comforted A Gui.

"It's alright, don't worry, I just talked to this Mr. Juexi about some things."

Jue Xi thought to herself, "Is it really necessary? Is this person crazy?" Kiana then leaned closer and whispered.

"Captain, you can't suddenly drag other people into the Domination Theater next time. And stop thinking about your broken Domination power as a thousand Herrschers, understand?"

"Qibao, you can't say that. This power is extremely precious. In a sense, it's also our matchmaker."

"Matchmaker my foot! Matchmaker!"

As he spoke, he hit Juexi twice, then felt a little regretful. How did he become so violent... He wasn't like this before. It must be the captain's fault. Who told him to be so annoying?

Bai Shu, having finished comforting her own staff, chatted with Qi Qi for a while before watching the three leave...

"Qiqi, let's go buy some baby sparrows!"

"Little Sparrow~"

Qiqi happily repeated it, her eyes shining, she was so happy.

However, after an afternoon, the three of them had searched all the bird shops in Liyue but couldn't find any finches, only thrushes and other birds.

Seeing Qiqi's expression, Juexi offered to catch one immediately, but Qiqi refused, saying that the little sparrow had its own home, and its parents would worry if it was caught... The three of them headed towards Liyue's house. (A gift from the young master, thanks to Tartaglia for the two-story house, thank you so much! hhhhh)

On their way home, by sheer coincidence, a little sparrow landed on Qiqi's hat.

"Qiqi, Little Sparrow."

Juexi said, and Qiqi raised her head. The little sparrow seemed to sense that it had flown down from her hat, but it didn't seem afraid of people at all, and flew around Qiqi.

"Little Sparrow~"

As Qiqi spoke happily, she reached out her hand, and the little sparrow flew up to her, showing a close bond.

Chapter 88 Wendy's Little Secret

Kiana immediately spoke up upon seeing this.

"Qiqi, this little magpie seems to like you a lot. Maybe its parents are gone? As the saying goes, 'While parents are alive, one should not travel far.' Why don't we take it home?"

Jue Xi immediately corrected it.

"Parents should not travel far while their children are alive, and if they must travel, they should have a specific destination in mind. Qibao, please don't say that again, or you'll corrupt the child."

Qiqi looked at the cute little sparrow and asked.

"Little Sparrow, are you hungry? Do you want to go to Qiqi's house and go home with her?"

After Qiqi finished speaking, she reached into her pocket and found only a glass bag inside. After all, Qiqi ate a little of all the delicious food, Juexi ate a bite, and Qibao ate the rest... It was hilarious that she didn't have any food on her at all.

Qiqi asked, a little flustered.

"Little, little sparrow, do you want to eat the glass bag?"

The little sparrow tilted its head, looking at the glass bag with a puzzled expression. Perhaps it was thinking, "You're not really trying to feed me this."

"Well, if there aren't enough, Qiqi can go pick more."

Jue Xi said with a hint of helplessness.

“Seven Seven, is it possible that the sparrow doesn’t eat the glass bag?”

"Eh?"

Qiqi fell into deep thought. The little sparrow hopped around on her shoulder, chirping away, but Qiqi seemed not to hear it, as if she was still pondering why the little sparrow wouldn't eat the glass bag.

Jue Xi then inquired about the system.

"System, is there anything for the little sparrow to eat?"

"What, you're going to spend some money on it?! Host, you'd rather give it money than spend it on me?"

"Well, isn't it good as it is now? Once I have more points, I'll definitely arrange for you to transform into human form."

"Little Sparrow, what do you want to eat? Just eat whatever you like. Host, you just got some coconut milk from me for free."

"Anything else is just food for the little sparrow, how many points would that cost? How about this, system, consider it a gift for your transformation? Give me the gift first, and once I have enough points, I can easily transform you."

"Really?"

"real!"
