Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

"Immortal? It seems to be related to the gods of Liyue..."

Ying murmured something, and then the look in her eyes when she looked at Su Xun changed slightly.

If the search for the God of Wind in Mondstadt is fruitless, can I contact the God of Liyue through his identity? Ying thought silently.

"So, Su Xun, you actually have such an amazing background. You must be a big shot in Liyue, right?" Paimeng blinked.

"Paimon, you're joking. I'm not a big shot. I'm just an ordinary citizen of Liyue." Su Xun spread his hands helplessly and said.

"Huh, I don't believe it." Paimon crossed his arms, turned his head and looked unconvinced.

"Okay, Paimon, no matter who Su Xun is, he is our friend. Why do you care so much?" Amber also looked helpless.

"Well...you're right, hehe~" Paimon thought about it, then laughed happily.

"Okay, let's go. You go to the Adventurer's Association, and then I'll go to the library." Su Xun stood up and said to the girls.

After hearing this, Amber and Paimon said nothing more, and they left Amber's residence together.

After arriving at the entrance of the Adventurer's Association and saying goodbye to each other, Su Xun separated from them and headed towards the Knights.

The library of Mondstadt was built within the Knights Templar. After all, in Teyvat, knowledge is precious and important, so it requires power to protect it.

But because Mondstadt believes in freedom, every resident in Mondstadt and even foreign tourists can come here to acquire knowledge without restrictions.

Of course, the knowledge in the forbidden area is not open to the public. If someone wants to take advantage of it, perhaps the librarian Miss Lisa will let you experience what it feels like to be electrocuted.

After entering the Knights, Su Xun no longer felt unfamiliar, but instead felt very familiar with the place.

He walked straight towards the door of the library, explained his purpose to the knight guarding the gate, and then entered smoothly.

Su Xun looked around, and the first thing that caught his eye was the spacious and bright hall. Under the high ceiling, rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged, as if it was an endless treasure trove of wisdom.

The interior design of the library is simple and elegant. The wooden tables and chairs exude a faint wood fragrance, making people feel warm and peaceful.

There are some classic quotes hanging on the walls, inspiring people to pursue knowledge and make continuous progress.

There are a wide variety of books on the bookshelf, covering knowledge in various fields, from classical literature to modern technology, from philosophical thinking to life guides.

Looking along the path between the bookshelves, you can see some people concentrating on reading, some sitting in the comfortable reading area, some standing next to the bookshelves, immersed in the sea of ​​books.

In a quiet corner of the library, there is a small reading room filled with various periodicals and newspapers, providing readers with a space to learn about the latest current affairs.

Right next to the entrance, there is a small reception desk which is the office of the librarian. Although the space is not large, it is fully equipped and functional.

This cozy corner is Lisa's personal workspace, and this mature and beautiful lady is sitting there lazily, enjoying a cup of tea in the morning while immersed in the thick book in her hands.

The library welcomes and sees off many readers every day. Lisa usually does not pay special attention to the appearance of each visitor, so Su Xun's arrival did not attract her attention. She just regarded him as one of the many Mond residents who came here to read or borrow books.

Normally, Lisa would only glance up briefly when a reader left, to check if anyone had taken a book out of the library without registering it.

Su Xun did not disturb Lisa, but followed the book category sign and found the alchemy area.

The purpose of his trip was to find the basic knowledge of alchemy. After all, if he wanted to learn alchemy from Albedo, he had to have some basics.

An alchemy master like Albedo would most likely not teach these basic knowledge personally. It is more likely that he would give him some introductory books to teach himself before he begins formal alchemy learning.

In this case, it doesn’t make any difference whether it’s early or late. You might as well start taking action now and accumulate first.

Su Xun thought about it and started to choose books from the bookshelf.

There are many different books on alchemy, ranging from ancient alchemical texts to current research papers.

Su Xun selected several books that seemed more basic according to his needs.

"The Secrets of Elements and Alchemy", "Introduction to Alchemy: Theory and Practice", "Element Reactions and Material Changes"... These books selected by Su Xun are all introductory works on alchemy, and are very suitable for beginners to understand this ancient and mysterious subject.

He walked to the reading area, found a seat and sat down. He opened a book called "The Mysteries of Elements and Alchemy" and started reading right there.

This book introduces in detail the properties of the seven basic elements: wind, rock, thunder, grass, water, fire, and ice, as well as the basic principles of alchemy.

The seven elements constitute everything on the continent of Teyvat and are the basis of alchemy. Alchemy is not only the transformation of matter, but also the understanding and application of elemental energy.

In today's Teyvat, the lost alchemy is not well received and is only used to make glue, and few people understand the real alchemy nowadays.

Earth, water, fire and wind, take my command, recreate the four elements, reshape the five elements! This is a magical and great miracle technique.

As described in this book, alchemy is divided into four branches, or four levels, and "black soil" is the origin of alchemy and its original state.

"Chalk" is the beginning of change, the removal of impurities.

"Chicheng" means the refinement of emotions.

"Gold", the final stage of alchemy, worthless things finally find their own meaning and transform into dazzling gold.

……

Su Xun flipped through the pages carefully, his eyes focused and serious.

The world of alchemy was completely new to him, and every concept was fascinating.

He immersed himself in the book and gradually understood that alchemy was not just the transformation between elements, but also an exploration of the essence of the world.

This is an unfathomable subject. It is not just the accumulation of experiments and formulas, but also a philosophy, a way to understand the world.

Time passed quietly in the tranquility of the library, and Su Xun was completely unaware of the changes in the outside world.

It was not until the sound of footsteps reached his ears that Su Xun looked up and saw the footsteps of some readers walking out. He then realized that it was already noon and these people might be going to solve the lunch problem.

Su Xun closed the book and decided to go eat something first.

Although his body has gradually lost its worldly desires as his practice deepened, he still chooses to live every day like an ordinary person.

Only by feeling the atmosphere of this world can we avoid being out of touch with the world and losing our yearning for life.

After all, personal strength and enjoyment of life are not contradictory, but complementary. Only by constantly experiencing and perceiving in life can one practice better and improve oneself.

Su Xun picked up the selected books and walked to the reception desk at the door.

"Ms. Lisa, I want to borrow these books."

He looked at the beautiful lady lying on the recliner with her eyes closed in deep thought, and spoke softly.

Hearing the voice, Lisa frowned slightly, slowly opened her emerald-like eyes, and her gaze fell on Su Xun's face.

"Hey~ Are you... the new friend of Amber and Klee?"

Looking at Su Xun's black and white brocade clothes, which were different from Mond's style, as well as his elegant and easy-going temperament and handsome face, Lisa's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, and there was a hint of surprise in her lazy and charming tone.

Su Xun was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "...I'm very happy to be recognized by Miss Lisa. I am Su Xun. It is indeed as Miss Lisa said. I am also a friend that Amber and Keli have just known for a while."

Lisa covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes looking over Su Xun.

"Oh my~ I've always heard from little Keri that she just met a nice older brother who would play with her. I didn't expect that I would finally meet him today."

"Thanks to you for taking care of little Klee in the past few days. Otherwise, if no one was watching her, the whole Mondstadt would be in chaos, hehe~~"

"Uh, Miss Lisa, you're joking. Klee is very well-behaved and sensible. I believe she won't cause any trouble without me watching over her. Besides, Amber is taking care of her. On the contrary, I haven't been of any help." Su Xun praised Klee against his will.

"Oh? Really..."

Lisa looked at Su Xun with a half-smile as he spoke nonsense seriously, not knowing whether he really believed that or was just saying it in front of her on purpose.

Shaking her head slightly, she did not continue the topic, "Brother Su Xun...right? Didn't you just say you came to borrow a book? Come on, give me the book, I'll register the title."

"Okay." Su Xun put a few books in his hand on the reception desk.

"Huh?" Seeing the titles of these books, Lisa's eyes flashed with surprise.

"The Elements and the Secrets of Alchemy, Introduction to Alchemy: Theory and Practice..."

"These are just some basic knowledge of alchemy. Hehe~ Brother Su Xun, do you want to learn alchemy?" Lisa asked with interest.

"Yes, this time I came to Mondstadt, in addition to traveling and having fun, my purpose was also to learn alchemy."

Su Xun nodded. He had no intention of hiding it from anyone, so there was no need to deny it.

"Oh? Nowadays, few people are willing to learn alchemy... But why didn't Su Xun choose to study at the Sulun School of the Sipandama Academy in the Xumi Teachings Institute?

Why did you come to Mondstadt? You know, the study environment in Mondstadt is not as good as that in Xumi~" Lisa's tone revealed a hint of curiosity.

"Oh, of course~ It's okay if Su Xun doesn't want to say it, I'm just a little curious..."

Lisa seemed to realize that she had asked too many questions, so she added apologetically.

Su Xun was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Lisa to pay attention to his purpose, but as I said, he didn't intend to hide anything.

"It's okay, Miss Lisa. It's nothing to hide." Su Xun smiled. "I chose to come to Mondstadt because there is an alchemy master here and I want to learn from him."

"Alchemy Master...Albedo?" Lisa blinked her big eyes, but was even more surprised.

"That's right." Su Xun nodded.

"Huh~ This is really surprising..."

"But this is indeed a good choice. I also think that Albedo is a very good alchemist.

Communicating with him often only requires a few words to get a good conclusion. And he has a good-looking face, and he looks a lot like you, little brother Su Xun, um~ that's right."

Lisa said in agreement, and then teased Su Xun.

"Forehead……"

Su Xun looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. It was the first time he dealt with a woman with this kind of personality.

"Thank you Miss Lisa for your compliment..."

"Since you are Amber and Little Klee's friend, there is no need to be so distant. Brother Su Xun can call me Lisa... Well, of course... you can also call me Sister Lisa~"

Lisa waved her hand and winked at Su Xun charmingly.

"Then... I'll still call you Sister Lisa." Su Xun said hesitantly.

"Hmm~" Lisa raised her eyebrows and showed a satisfied look.

"By the way, let me remind you that although Albedo himself is usually easy to get along with, it is not easy to get his approval and ask him to teach you alchemy. You must be well prepared before you go to him."

"I know. Thanks for reminding me, Sister Lisa."

Su Xun naturally knew that it was not an easy task to get Albedo to teach him alchemy, but he was working towards his goal, so he would take it one step at a time.

"Okay~ Now that the registration is complete, I won't keep you here. If you have time later, I'll treat you to a cup of afternoon tea, or... you can treat me too~"

Lisa handed the book to Su Xun and smiled with a smile on her face.
