I'm a male god in Liyue

"is acceptable."

Dolly was taken aback: "It's alright? This is the best restaurant in Mondstadt, and the chef is the best too. The food should be much better than what the Knights of Favonius eat, right?"

Klee nodded: "The food here is better than Noelle's, but not as good as Xia Zhi's!"

"Xia Zhi...Big Brother?"

This name sounds familiar.

Dolly immediately remembered the other person's identity—the original owner of the Summer Shop.

The young man who had once bought something from his stall.

He came to Mondstadt? Klee even ate his cooking?

Dolly thought for a moment, then looked at Claire.

"Keli, tell your older sister, how did you meet that big brother Xia Zhi..."

"Klee was auditioning fireworks that day!..."

In the alchemy workshop upstairs in the Favonius Library, there is a strangely shaped alchemical artifact—the [Special Heating Cauldron], a custom-made item with a design that Mondstadt people cannot understand. It has the functions of delayed heating, semi-automatic addition of auxiliary materials, and limited heat preservation.

This is a special piece of equipment that Lisa built using a large budget and two weeks of work time in the alchemy workshop.

With it, all precise heating operations can be completed with no more than two lever movements.

However, its most common use is to brew tea and maintain its optimal taste while Lisa is organizing books.

After all, the most important part of Lisa's day is her leisurely and enjoyable afternoon tea.

But today, this special equipment has found a new purpose.

I made instant noodles.

After finishing her second bowl of noodles, Lisa leaned back in her chair, a satisfied look on her face.

"This thing is... amazing..."

"If I could just make myself a bowl of instant noodles whenever I got hungry while reading at night..."

"Alright, I've rested enough... Just one last bucket of noodles... I'll try to recreate it tonight..."

Chapter 460 The New Medicine Furnace (4K)

After taking a walk along the lake in the evening, everyone returned to the West Wind Cathedral.

Xia Zhi saw the icy nun smoking on the last row of pews in the church once again.

For some reason, this time her cold gaze ignored everyone else and focused solely on him.

It's as if she's got her eye on him.

Noticing the other party's strange behavior, Xia Zhi quietly observed her carefully from an omniscient perspective.

With his extraordinary medical skills, Xia Zhi could tell that her body had suffered many old injuries, the depth and severity of which were likely left at different times.

Her hair was slightly dry, and she had deep dark circles under her eyes, signs of malnutrition and chronic sleep deprivation.

Her eyes were very cold, and her face was expressionless, whether it was yesterday or today, clearly indicating that she had a very withdrawn personality.

She held a pipe in one hand and placed the other hand casually on the other side of her waist, but there was actually a dagger hidden under her clothes there.

However, this is the Cathedral of the West, which is arguably the safest place in all of Mondstadt. Even in such an environment, she still unconsciously makes this move of constantly guarding her surroundings. Obviously, the environment she lived in in the past was extremely harsh, most likely the kind of place where she would be attacked or even killed if she relaxed her guard even slightly.

Based on the above, Xia Zhi can make a preliminary judgment: This is a pitiful girl who suffered abuse from a young age, struggled in hunger and cold, grew up in competition, must have killed someone, and suffers from serious psychological problems...

This "bad girl" tainted with sin has now become a nun in the West Wind Church, a symbol of purity and goodness.

Xia Zhi felt that this matter was getting interesting.

Although he didn't know why the other person had suddenly started targeting him, from this moment on, he also started targeting her.

We all live under the same roof of the West Wind Church, and hopefully some interesting things will happen during this festive season.

Back in the room at the back, everyone went to the Dust Song Pot together first.

A massage and a shower instantly wiped away all the fatigue from the day.

At this moment, Ying'er took out the test tube and blew on it for everyone.

Sure enough, everyone's breath was pinkish-purple.

Mona asked, "So, what's the use of this [Breath of Happiness]?"

Ying'er shook her head: "I don't know. Miss Sugar has never been able to collect them successfully either. We need to start researching from scratch."

Mona said disappointedly, "Oh, I see."

Ying'er put the test tube away: "I'll take this test tube back to Miss Sugar tomorrow. I'll let you know as soon as the research is done."

Everyone was interested: "Great!"

Xia Ci leaned against the wall of the bathtub and said lazily, "Why bother with all this? If you want to know, just ask your cousin."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Yun Zhenjun said, "Whether you are an alchemist or a mechanical engineer, what you should have most is a thirst for knowledge. Although you can get the answer by asking Mr. Xia directly, if you continue like this for a long time, you will lose the ability to explore on your own."

Ying'er seemed to be deep in thought when she asked, "What does the True Lord mean?"

Liu Yun said, "Let's study it ourselves for a couple of days first. If we still can't figure it out, then we can ask Mr. Xia."

Ying'er nodded: "What Zhenjun said makes sense, then let's do it that way."

Xia Ci raised her eyes, glanced at Liu Yun, chuckled softly, and said nothing more.

--

After Xia Zhi finished her bath, she came out of the Chenge Pot and returned to her room in the West Wind Church.

The golden treasure chest he found on Qin's body yesterday while giving her a massage hasn't been opened yet.

He took it out of his inventory and opened it directly.

An antique-style round stove appeared before his eyes.

Yin-Yang Medicine Furnace

Quality: Gold.

Type: Alchemy tools.

Feature: Fusion.

Effects: It harmonizes Yin and Yang, can cure all diseases, and can detoxify all poisons.

Hidden effect: Increases the probability of successfully making medicine by 50% and the probability of making perfect medicine by 20%.

Recyclable: 100 points.

Xia Zhi picked up the medicine furnace and looked at it, feeling that its appearance looked somewhat familiar.

He opened his inventory, took out the [Blazing Incense Burner], and placed it next to the [Yin-Yang Medicine Furnace].

When compared side-by-side, the two stoves do indeed look somewhat similar.

They all share the same characteristic: [fusion], and the effect description of [Blazing Incense Burner] is similar to that of [Yin Yang Medicine Burner].

[Effect: When combined, the ingredients are made into incense, which can soothe the mind and communicate with spirits.]

[Hidden effect: Increases the probability of successfully producing incense by 50%, and the probability of perfectly producing incense by 20%.]

This reminded Xia Zhi of the [Soothing Pill] and the [Body Restoration Pill].

These two furnaces seem to be related in the same way, belonging to the same series of extraordinary items.

Unfortunately... it's not a set item.

Xia Zhi played with the newly acquired medicine furnace for a while, then put it back on the table, preparing to test its medicine-refining effects.

As a master of poisons and a master of medicine, Xia Zhi naturally didn't need to look for any recipes in the [shop]. After a little thought, he used the spices he had in his inventory to create a brand new prescription.

Xia Zhi took out the spices he needed, casually cut out the appropriate amount, put them into the medicine furnace, and then added a drop of [White Jade Flower Honey].

The stove lid has a pattern of two yin-yang fish.

Xia Zhi put the stove lid on and gently turned it so that the two yin-yang fish patterns met head to tail.

Then, the stove lid emitted a faint glow.

The originally static pattern suddenly came to life, and the two yin-yang fish, as if they were alive, began to frolic and play on the surface of the stove.

Xia Zhi watched the stove with interest and waited quietly.

A few minutes later, a faint fragrance wafted from the stove.

The medicine is almost ready.

The two yin-yang fish seemed to have gotten tired of swimming, and slowly returned to their original positions, turning into still patterns.

The stove lid no longer emits a faint glow.

Xia Zhi then lifted the lid of the stove and carefully poured out a few extremely round and crystal-clear pills.

He picked up a bead with his fingers, brought it to his nose, and sniffed it. It had a wonderful, exotic floral nectar scent.
