Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

"Hmm? Since you have something to say, let's go into the hall and talk."

Hu Tao extended her hand, motioning Wang Que to come in and talk.

The two entered the Hall of Rebirth through the side door.

In the lobby,

Wang Que and Hu Tao sat down separately, and Zhenjun Bubaiqi served them tea.

Hu Tao asked, "Boss Wang, do you have anything to ask me at Wangsheng Hall? Just tell me, I'm sure I can help."

Wang Que did not hide anything and told Chongyun what he had said.

Hu Tao's eyes gleamed with wonder. "Using blood and energy to create the Dunjia Talisman out of thin air, Boss Wang's proficiency in talismans is truly astonishing."

There are many talismans passed down in the Wangsheng Hall, but it is the first time that Hu Tao has seen someone like Wang Que who can draw talismans out of thin air with blood and energy.

"Since we are offering sacrifices to the Emperor, the best method is to use the 'Three Teas and Seven Minerals' ritual. As the saying goes, 'Three teas offer sacrifices to the hardships of the journey, and seven minerals offer sacrifices to the toil of the world.' This is the most suitable ritual for ordinary people in Liyue."

In fact, the most suitable thing for ordinary people is a stick of yellow incense, and the emperor will not despise it.

But now Wang Que wants a bigger scene, and Hu Tao can naturally satisfy him.

Wang Que's expression straightened up: "How many Mora do you need?"

Hu Tao raised an eyebrow. "That depends on how we do it. If Wangsheng Hall handles it all by itself, it'll cost at least a hundred thousand Mora. If we don't even need to prepare the sacrificial offerings or instruments, and just need to preside over the ceremony, that'll be cheaper."

"What kind of sacrifices and magical instruments are needed?" Wang Que asked curiously.

He was indeed unfamiliar with these sacrificial rituals. The only thing he had seen related to sacrifices before traveling through time was visiting graves during the New Year.

"As for the offerings... there are five kinds of grains and three kinds of animals, mineral essences, spiritual objects from the immortals, and tokens of the contract. As for the magic tools, they are incense burners and ritual objects." Walnut said.

Wang Que was still curious: "What's the explanation?"

Hu Tao was not annoyed, but was very happy that Wang Que was curious about this. She explained enthusiastically:

"The five grains and three animals represent a prosperous people's livelihood. The essence of minerals is the foundation of the world created by the rock god. The immortal spirit objects connect the pure and turbid energy of heaven and earth. The contract token represents "the contract is made, and those who break their promise will be punished by eating the rock."

“Nowadays, rituals are gradually being simplified, and the five grains and three animals can be replaced by moula meat;

To obtain the essence of the mineral deposit, you only need to take 1 piece of unpolished amber, 3 pieces of night stone fragments, and 1 box of old stone powder;

The immortal family's spiritual objects only require three glazed lilies and a box of ointment soaked in the nectar of the colorful clothes;

As for the contract token, there are blank contracts in the Hall of Rebirth."

After a pause, she continued, "The incense burner is a copper Boshan furnace with a Chi pattern, which can burn three layers of incense to welcome the gods; the ritual vessel is a Chilong bronze dagger, used to cut the ceremonial offerings..."

Hu Tao told Wang Que what needed to be prepared for the ceremony and the general process that would be involved.

After she finished speaking, she didn't feel tired at all, and looked at Wang Que with a burning gaze: "How about it, do you want to give it all to me? I'll give you a discount and only charge you 100,000 Mora."

Wang Que thought about it and felt that it would be more convenient to hand it over. He didn't know where to get the things from him if he was asked to prepare them himself.

He then looked at Hu Tao and clasped his hands together, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Hu."

"Hehe, no trouble, no trouble." Hu Tao laughed and was very lively.

Wang Que asked again, "I wonder when this ritual will be ready and when it can begin?"

Walnut thought about it, as if contemplating something. After a moment, she said, "The first day of each month is an auspicious time."

"Can't it be faster?" Wang Que frowned. It was now the middle of the month. If it wanted to be the beginning of the month, it would have to be next month.

Hu Tao glanced at Wang Que and said, "Is it urgent? Well, let's wait three days. Let's go to the Seven Days Statue in Guiliyuan in three days."

"Three days? That's fine."

Wang Que nodded.

If all goes well, he will be able to use the Liyue Immortal Family inheritance normally in the Liyue area in three days.

Chapter 65: Burn the incense for yourself

That night.

The guest official of the Wangsheng Hall who had been "busy" outside for a day returned to the Wangsheng Hall.

"Guest, where is that copper Boshan furnace with dragon pattern?"

Walnut's crisp voice echoed in Zhongli's ears.

Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "It's on the shelf on the right hand side of the small warehouse entrance, probably on the left side of the third shelf. It hasn't been used for a long time. If you want to use it, you need to burn incense to nourish it."

"Oh, what about the Coiled Dragon Bronze Dagger?" Walnut continued to ask.

Zhongli said without thinking, "There's a box in the lower right corner of the small warehouse. It's been unused for a while and needs maintenance."

He is very familiar with everything in the Hall of Rebirth.

"What is the matter with these people, Master? Are we going to hold a ceremony?"

Zhongli recalled that there were no days requiring sacrificial ceremonies recently.

"Hey, I've got a job for 100,000 Mora." Walnut poked his head out from the back hall, a smile on his face. "You know about Boss Wang who's been making a lot of noise lately? He wants to hold a sacrifice for the Emperor. I've got the job."

Zhongli's expression froze for a moment, then a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes: "Boss Wang wants to offer a sacrifice to the Emperor?"

Hu Tao did not hide it: "Yes, he wants to learn the art of immortal talismans and report it to the Emperor."

Zhongli's expression had returned to normal, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes: "Is that so? That's a good deal."

Walnut chuckled, "Yeah, I think so too. I can earn at least 80,000 Mora."

Smiling, she continued, "Keqing, please help me make some incense for the soul. It will be used during the last pillar of the ceremony."

Zhongli nodded: "Okay."

You have to make the incense you burn for yourself.

...

at the same time,

Inside a secret office of the North Country Bank.

"Is this the elemental grenade you mentioned?"

Tartaglia, who had temporarily left the winter capital, asked with a little interest while holding an elemental grenade.

In front of him was Andre, the manager of Northland Bank.

"Yes, Executor, after our experiments, the power of this elemental grenade is not weaker than the weapons of the advance team."

Each of the Fatui advance teams is equipped with professional winter technology equipment and has strong combat effectiveness.

"Well, can this technology be replicated?" Tartaglia looked at Andre.

Andre shook his head. "I've given it to the technicians to look at. They said they used a special adhesive and it can't be cracked for the time being."

"Huh? Can't crack it? Even Dotole can't do it?" Tartaglia raised his eyebrows.

Andrei said with a bitter smile: "I sent a sample to the doctor, but he said it was rubbish and left it alone."

Compared to the [Sublime Eye] plan that allows mortals to use elemental power, this so-called elemental grenade is indeed "rubbish".

Tartaglia was also speechless.

"Then let's purchase a batch first and send it to Rooster. Let him make the decision." Tartaglia waved his hand. "How's the progress on the reproduction of that thing?"

He changed the subject.

"The researchers have made a preliminary crack, but it will take time to replicate it," said Andre.

Tartaglia nodded slightly. "Well, no matter what, we have to do it as soon as possible. This year's Summoning the Immortal Ceremony is still a few months away."

Andre lowered his head: "I will definitely urge them."

"Well, that's it. If anyone hasn't paid back their money recently, I'll go and collect it." Tartaglia stretched.

Andre quickly produced some documents and said, "Yes, these treasure-stealing gangs borrowed money from us and refused to pay it back."

Tartaglia took it, a smile on his face: "Then I'll go first."

After that, leave directly.

Andre breathed a sigh of relief only after his figure disappeared.

"This executive officer is much easier to serve than other adults."

...

Mondstadt Knights Building.

"Captain Jean, if we all go to attack Tevarin, won't Mondstadt be in trouble?"

Ying asked a little worriedly.

She has been in Mond for some time.

In the Wind Dragon Disaster, a large number of monsters blocked Mondstadt's access to the outside world.

Now Jean and Diluc are going with her to defeat Tevarin, and Ying is worried that monsters will attack Mondstadt during this period.

"Don't worry, Honor Knight. There are still many Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, as well as Amber, Kaia, Lisa and others. Nothing will happen."

"Also, we recently brought back some weapons from Liyue. They may not be enough to deal with Tevarin, but they are enough to deal with ordinary monsters."

Qin said confidently.

At the Knights' training ground,

Kaia summoned the Knights of Favonius who remained in Mondstadt: "Come, each of you take five. These things are very useful."

Beside him, boxes of elemental grenades were neatly placed.

...

The Knights' Library.

“Very good technology.”

Albedo put down the elemental grenade in his hand and praised,

But his tone was very flat, and there was no compliment in it.

Lisa lazily leaned on the sofa beside her: "Jin asked if you could replicate it. She wants to use it to support the expedition team."

Albedo is the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius.

When the elemental grenade, a throwing elemental weapon, appeared, Jean immediately understood how useful it was.

It is naturally more convenient to produce it yourself than to spend a lot of money to buy it.

"The designer used a unique adhesive to prevent technical cracking. It's a very clever idea. I can't crack it in a short time, but I can directly design a similar product."

Albedo said lightly.

In his opinion, this thing is no different from Klee's bouncing bomb. They are both children's toys. The only difference is that they do not require the fire element to actively ignite them.

On the side, Klee was holding a few elemental grenades, her eyes revealing her interest.

"Water bounces, thunder bounces, ice bounces, fire bounces."

Similar to Albedo's opinion, in her eyes, these are just bouncing bombs with different attributes.

Lisa: "Can it be mass-produced?"

Albedo nodded: "As long as there are enough materials and manpower, anything can be mass-produced."

"Okay, I'll talk to Qin later. If you need anything, you can ask Qin." Hearing that materials and manpower might be needed, Lisa directly threw the matter to Qin.

She finds it troublesome.

"By the way, you have met that honorary knight, right?" Lisa said again.

Albedo nodded: "Yeah, a...very good person."

He has seen Ying, but Ying has not seen him yet.

"Honorary Knight Sister is a good person." Klee looked up and said.

She had bumped into Ying in the Knights before, but Ying was not angry, so Klee had a good feeling about Ying.

"Well, that's good. If you think there's no problem, then there should be no problem."
