Genshin Impact: Being a Genshin Impact Trainer in Teyvat

"'Salt of the Earth', is this the place..."

Looking at the blue energy curtain that was constantly flowing in the hole under his feet, Ye Xing raised his leg and stomped his feet, as if he was quite curious about the power of this seal.

"The ruins are probably deep in the cave."

"South of Tianheng, east of Yaoguang, west of Jueyun, north of Qingce, all lands are desolate, all lives are in ruins. Liyue is so vast, it's hard to find a single peaceful place."

"The method of opening the ruins is quite troublesome..."

"To provide a safe place for the people suffering from the war, I braved danger and traveled all over Liyue..."

"In that age of war and battle among the gods, Heulia ultimately found—this place known as the 'Salt of the Earth'..."

Looking at the solid and complex seal here, Ye Xing didn't care much. He saw a flash of white light in his hand, and a "Teleportation Scroll to Teyvat Continent" suddenly appeared in his hand.

Ever since discovering that this item could be purchased in the mall for several million Mora, Ye Xing had been thinking about using it to proactively raid some ancient ruins...

While in the Chen Ge Pot, seeing the "Dragon-Suppressing Stone" accidentally produced by the "Big Golden Rock Slime", Ye Xing's first reaction was to look for the "Ryota Dragon King" at the bottom of the "Fulong Tree" and the "Salt Demon" Heulia of the "Salt of the Earth"!

As the light of the scroll enveloped Ye Xing's whole body, with a "whoosh" sound, Ye Xing's figure disappeared from the spot, easily passed through the light curtain, and fell into the cave.

"During the Demon War, the demons of the mortal world fought for the continent of Teyvat, exhausting all their strength and wisdom."

"The Demon of Salt, Heulia."

"She's not a powerful demon. On the contrary, she's too weak—too accommodating, too timid. There's no way she could ever ascend to the throne of the Seven Gods... a loser!"

"In the merciless chaos of the demon gods, humans are too insignificant. Heulia chose to escape, believing that if she gave up before the battle even began, the war would never affect her and her people."

"He gathered those helpless refugees from the flames of war and led them to build a town here. He brought love and comfort to the people in the turbulent apocalypse, and sought the possibility of restoring peace with the demon gods."

"However, during the long years of war, there is no end to 'concession'."

"In her endless retreat, Heulia lost all her land, leaving only her last refuge."

"In her final moments, she didn't even have a weapon to raise to protect her people..."

"However, the gentle demon goddess did not die in a duel with a god, but rather in the betrayal of the mortal she deeply loved."

"In order to seek the power to protect and fight, and to prove that gentleness is inappropriate, a mortal slew the lonely demon with his sword!"

"And so, the Salt Temple collapsed with the fall of the Salt Demon, and the mortal city met its bitter end, like a block of salt."

"Finally, those tribesmen who had been favored by the Salt Demon God scattered across Liyue, bringing their legends with them to the safe haven of the Rock God's rule, and this story has been passed down to this day."

"It is said that the remains of the Salt Demon God still lie deep within these ruins. Although it has long since turned to salt crystals, it still retains the posture it was in when it was pierced by the sword..."

Looking at the strange statues in front of him, Ye Xing, who knew their origins well, remained silent and moved quickly through the ruins with the swiftness of the wind.

A green breeze blew through the ancient cave, gently rolling up a lot of long-sealed sand and salt grains into the air, gradually blocking the view behind.

Ye Xing, on the other hand, remained untouched by the dust. He dodged many mechanical designs with his extreme speed, or opened doors one after another through skilled decryption, until he came to a secret room with a large number of palace ruins, and then he stopped.

"This is... the 'Salt Cup'?"

Looking at the white container filled with only half a cup of salt placed on the altar in front of him, Ye Xing was quite surprised.

“Although there is only half salt in it, it will always be half—in other words, it is endless!”

"Even if I keep pouring it out, the salt inside won't decrease at all... Is this the power of the 'Salt Demon'..."

Ye Xing gently put away the "salt cup" and did not stay any longer. He then stepped on the flowing wind again and walked towards another secret room.

In another room, a ruler shaped like a broadsword was inserted into a jade table. The handle of the ruler seemed to be made of a mysterious jade metal, an ancient and rare material; the body of the ruler was completely white, as if it was composed of thousands of refined salts.

"Salt Ruler!"

"Heulia's measuring device. Once this salt ruler is driven into the ground, the soil above it will be covered with salt, like a flood. The deeper it goes, the more salt grains will appear. In other words, it's a salt 'harvest'!"

Ye Xing was holding the two great artifacts left by the former "God of Salt". While feeling happy, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Endless salt... I don't think it would be very useful... Liyue has a special channel for selling official salt..."

"The 'Seven Stars and Eight Gates'—the 'Silver Origin Office' that oversees the salt industry. Apart from these, all other private salt merchants will be banned by the Seven Stars..."

Recalling the scenes in the plot, Ye Xing shook his head and immediately stopped thinking about it and went straight to the next room, the "God-killing Weapon".

Looking at the two broken swords neatly placed as if they were being offered, Ye Xing seemed to feel the bloodshed and sorrow of the demon god.

Carrying these three items related to Heulia, Ye Xing came to the deepest part of the ruins.

At the end of the ruins, white figures maintained a posture of struggling to escape. In the center of this space, the thing they feared and tried to escape had disappeared, leaving only traces of white salt on the ground...

"The body crumbles... No matter how weak a demon god is, the power lost upon death is beyond the capacity of a mortal body to withstand."

Looking at the remaining 'salt remains' in the center of the hall, Ye Xing's excitement and curiosity gradually rose in his heart and intensified!

Relying on his own talent "Demon Power" and the power of authority in the artifact, Ye Xing wanted to try to summon the remaining soul of the "Salt Demon" for the first time!

"The ancient demon god Heulia, whose soul has returned to heaven, uses the sacred artifacts of power, the Salt Cup and the Salt Ruler, as a guide, offering the remaining blood and soul from the god-killing weapon and the remains of the salt body as a sacrifice. She ignites the demon fire, gathers the remaining soul fragments, and gathers them here!"

Faintly, an invisible mysterious power seemed to begin to rise in Ye Xing's palm, and the remaining demonic aura in the huge hall seemed to gradually begin to boil, slowly flowing to one place!

The countless salt grains scattered here and the salt pile formed by Heulia's remains in the center gradually began to melt and dissipate!

Only wisps of extremely fine white smoke-like mist separated from it and slowly condensed into the "power of the devil" rising in Ye Xing's hand!

During the process, the broken sword that had killed Heulia began to crack, and then turned into gray-white rock and shattered.

After an unknown amount of time, the white mist, smoke, and soul fragments gradually condensed into a shape. A petite, graceful woman with flowing white hair appeared in mid-air, translucent and looming...

The woman was seen floating barefoot in the air in the hall in the state of soul, and then she slowly opened her eyes!
