Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 143: Holy Relic: Warrior's Heart (Two Chapters in One)
"In other words, you want to artificially create an environment with a high concentration of elemental power for me to practice?"

Li Qiuzhi said thoughtfully.

This is also easy to understand. For example, there are seventy small balls formed by different elemental forces in front of Li Qiuzhi.

There are ten balls of each of the seven elemental forces, and they are all mixed together. Now Li Qiuzhi needs to pick out the balls of wind element. As a novice, he will be a little slow, and it is normal that he may not be able to hold it firmly for a while even after finding it.

And it will consume more energy.

What Ying did was to pick out ten small balls of wind element and place them directly in front of Li Qiuzhi like "feeding him food".

Maybe the analogy is not very accurate, but at least you get the idea.

Obviously, this environment with high element concentration will make Li Qiuzhi's practice much easier.

"I see. Smart Paimon also understands it." Paimon, who was wearing a small short-sleeved shirt, also nodded, then took a bite of the apple in his hand, followed by a crisp chewing sound.

"Well that's it, so you try it now."

The fair right foot stretched out from the slipper, and was slightly retracted, with the ankle pressed between the lower side of the left leg and the soft sofa.

"Okay, no problem."

Li Qiuzhi nodded, and placed his hands, one on the left and one on the right, close to the ball of wind element floating and spinning on the white palm.

He activated his character's specialty [Blessing of Sky-Splitting] based on his feeling, trying to slowly guide the wind element in front of him and control it in his own hands.

The ball of wind element spinning in Ying's hand paused slightly.

Then two small "tentacles" were separated and led to Li Qiuzhi's hands. As expected, with Ying's assistance, it was much easier than guiding them by himself.

"Wow, it moved, it really moved, Li Qiuzhi you are quite talented." Paimeng swallowed the chewed fruit pulp and exclaimed, then said puzzledly, "Hey, why did it go back again?"

Just as little Paimeng said, just when Li Qiuzhi thought he was going to succeed.

The wind elements he had drawn out shrank back again. It seemed that even if there was an environment with rich elemental power, it would still require more practice.

"How does it feel?" Ying said, smoothing her hair which was not completely dry yet with her left hand.

"It is indeed much easier, but it seems that there is also an additional resistance that wants to compete with you for the control of the wind element."

Li Qiuzhi thought about it, summed up his feelings and said.

"My resistance?" Ying pursed her lips and nodded her fair chin slightly, indicating that she understood, and continued, "This time I will release the control of the wind element. You should seize the opportunity and try to guide them when it begins to dissipate."

"Yeah." Li Qiuzhi said softly, his palm continuing to hold the rotating ball of wind element.

Ying's mind moved, and the wind elements were about to dissipate without her support. Li Qiuzhi took this opportunity to guide them again.

The green wind element seemed to have gained some kind of power to maintain its gathering, and began to slowly rotate between his palms.

"It seems to have succeeded. Oh, it's dissipated. Can't these wind elements just obey?"

When Paimeng thought Li Qiuzhi was going to succeed again, he was disappointed again.

"It's okay. I think I've found the trick. Ying will use this method. Let's try it a few more times."

Li Qiuzhi was not as disappointed as Paimeng. He did succeed in controlling the wind element just now, but it didn't last long.

As long as you get familiar with it a few times, I believe you will be able to get the hang of it soon.

After a long time.

Ying and Paimeng accompanied Li Qiuzhi in practicing controlling the wind element. They yawned and felt a little tired.

However, because Li Qiuzhi had the specialty of [Abundant Life], he didn't seem to feel sleepy.

Li Qiuzhi no longer paid attention to how many times they had practiced. Anyway, he looked at Ying's hands that were condensing the wind element, and it seemed that they could hardly lift them.

His head was nodding, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

Li Qiuzhi looked at the ball of unstable wind element condensed in her hand, which seemed like it would dissipate at any time.

He did not wait for Ying to withdraw his control over the wind element, but tried to guide it directly. This time the resistance was very small, and the rotating wind element easily came into Li Qiuzhi's hands.

One second, ten seconds, one minute, three minutes...

"Huh~ Finally succeeded!" Li Qiuzhi said in surprise. He felt that he could freely control this wind element.

After playing for a while, he removed his control over the opponent's upper hand elements, and when they completely dissipated, Li Qiuzhi tried to guide the condensed elemental force without the assistance of Yin.

A subtle breeze swirled in his palms, and after practicing many times and becoming familiar with the feeling of guiding the wind element, he had successfully mastered this technique!

"Ah, did it work? If not, I'll fall asleep."

Paimeng, lying on the sofa with his head resting on Ying's soft thighs, rubbed his blurry eyes.

"It seems like you've learned well. Let's stop here today. After a few more days of practice, you should be able to apply it in actual combat."

Ying heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Qiuzhi had finally succeeded. She raised her hands and stretched, and her white short-sleeved vest was slightly lifted up, revealing her snow-white belly.

……

the next morning.

After finishing breakfast, Li Qiuzhi and his companions came to the Knights Templar, greeted the Knight of Favonius standing guard at the door, and entered the office of the acting leader.

"Two honorary knights, and Paimon, you are here."

Qin, who was wearing the uniform of the Knights, said with a smile. This time she did not sit at the desk and chair in the office area near the window.

Instead, it was a bit surprising that there was a cup of steaming black tea in front of the long square table on the right.

The Scout Knight with a red bunny ear knot on his head was also sitting next to her.

"Good morning, Captain Qin. Huh? Amber is here too."

Paimon first greeted Jean, then looked at Amber with some surprise and said.

"Hey, I'm also a Knight of Favonius. What's so strange about being here? Li Qiuzhi, Ying, come over and have some tea!"

Amber smiled on her fair face. She stood up, picked up the ceramic teapot on the table, and poured a cup of black tea for everyone.

"Wow, it smells so good."

Paimeng did not sit down on the chair like Li Qiuzhi and the others. Instead, he floated in the air, picked up the teacup, put it to his nose and sniffed it and said.

Qin picked up the white teacup, put it to her soft lips and took a sip:
"This is a gift given to me by the Tianquan Star from Liyue when he came to Mondstadt to discuss business cooperation.

"It seems to be tea produced from a tea tree called 'Danlongxue'. According to Liyue, this special tea tree grows differently from the normal ones. It only grows young buds and leaves in large quantities in winter every year. They need to be nourished by snow and cold. Only when they are picked during the 'heavy snow' will they have a special tea fragrance. They are very rare, so they are precious."

"Heavy snow? Is it a snowy day?"

Ying looked at the face reflected in the red liquid in the teacup and said with some confusion.

"'Da Xue' doesn't refer to heavy snow. It's a solar term in the calendar of our neighboring country, Liyue. It's a fixed day."

Amber explained. "I see." Ying and Paimon both nodded.

"Hey, Li Qiuzhi is from Liyue, so he should know something about it, right?"

Amber asked, looking at the young adventurer.

"..."

Li Qiuzhi paused as he picked up the teacup. He understood the 'solar terms', but how could he know about things like tea trees that were not mentioned in the game?

Well. When he first came here, he did not tell the truth to Amber for various reasons, and he always felt a little sorry for Amber.

Now is a good opportunity to make it clear. If I continue anyway, it will be exposed one day, so I might as well say it proactively to avoid losing favor.

"That Amber. Actually, I'm not from Liyue." Li Qiuzhi replied after a moment of silence.

"Hmm, huh?!"

Amber nodded twice to show that she was listening, and then she opened her eyes wide as she reacted.

"Well, that's actually the case." Li Qiuzhi patiently explained to Amber and Captain Qin that he came from another world. "I said I was from Liyue to avoid being misunderstood by you. After all, if he said he was from another world right away, everyone would think there was something wrong with him."

".Hmm, that's actually the case. If I hadn't known you for a long time and knew that you weren't a prankster, I would have thought you were joking."

Amber said, slightly surprised.

"No wonder. You seemed to be an ordinary person with weak martial arts skills before. It is understandable that you hid your bizarre origins."

Qin leaned against the backrest with her snow-white back padded with a shawl, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, since there is a reason for what happened, I won't bother about you deceiving me."

Amber's red bunny ears swayed, and her soft lips curled up slightly as she smiled and said:

"Rather, I'm glad you told me your secrets. This shows that I'm still trustworthy."

[Amber has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 300 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.4 (350/400)]

"Amber is right. As an honorary knight, the Knights will always have your strong backing!"

Qin folded her hands and hugged her chest, saying with a faint smile.

[Qin has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 180 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.5 (10/500)]

Because they had a high level of goodwill towards each other, Captain Amber and Captain Qin expressed their understanding towards Li Qiuzhi even when they heard something so unexpected, which made him feel somewhat relieved.

"Hey, Captain Qin, Amber, me too."

At this time, Ying, who had a white flower pinned in her golden hair, spoke with an embarrassed look on her face.

"..."

Captain Qin and Amber looked helpless. When did there become so many visitors from other worlds?

Not only did he happen to appear in Mondstadt, but he also became an honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius.

After thoroughly understanding the situation between Li Qiuzhi and Ying, Qin sighed and nodded:
“Your story is indeed a little unexpected, and you do have some reason to conceal it. If too many people know about it, it will inevitably cause trouble, so we will not announce that the two honorary knights are visitors from another world.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. You guys are here to get the holy relic reward I promised you yesterday."

"Yes, that's right." Li Qiuzhi and Ying nodded slightly.

"I have two sets of holy relics here. Because they have the same power, even if they are still in their initial state, the resonance effect of the sets can provide a good power blessing to the wearer."

Qin stood up and took out two sets of golden relics from the Eye of God and placed them in front of the two people.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Paimon looked at their colors and thought of the round Mora.

"Hehe~ They are called 'Warrior's Heart'. The Knights discovered a new secret place a long time ago, and everyone went to explore it together. That's where they found them."

Amber said with a slight smile on her fair face.

"So that's the case. We'll accept it without hesitation." Li Qiuzhi nodded and said.

He remembered that the relic "Warrior's Heart" in the game had two pieces that increased attack power, and four pieces that increased damage to targets with high health.

Overall it's pretty good.

The existence of holy relics, like treasure chests, is quite magical. Their essence is the result of long years of historical sedimentation and they possess magical powers.

So the way the gear carries them is amazing too.

Anyone who touches it with their hand can choose to integrate it into the body in the form of energy. This way, even if they carry it successfully, they can take it out with just a thought, which is very simple.

After receiving the reward from the Knights, Li Qiuzhi and his companions had nothing else to do and prepared to leave.

According to the plan before going out, after the three of them received their rewards from the Knights Templar, they went to the Adventurer's Association to accept commissions.

Although Ying has not yet asked Wendy whether she knows who the god is who kidnapped her brother, she probably knows that it is not that weird wind god.

So she would soon start her next journey, but before that she needed to earn enough Mora to buy some necessary supplies in Mondstadt.

After all, it would take a caravan carrying goods by horse-drawn carriage about a month to travel to Liyue, the nearest neighboring country to Mondstadt.

She and Paimon couldn't continue to live in the open air and hunt for a living, so they had to at least bring enough food and clean water.

"Hey, wait, Li Qiuzhi, Traveler, you guys should be fine now, right?"

Amber called Li Qiuzhi and the others.

"Hmm? Is there something wrong with Amber?" Paimon asked with some confusion, tilting his head.

"I'm going to post a missing person notice for your brother later, and clean up some debris that was blown onto the city walls and rooftops by the storm. Are you guys free to join me?"

Amber said carefully.

"Of course I want to go!"

Ying nodded heavily. She could take on the commission to earn Mora later, but if she wanted to find her brother, she had to take it seriously first.

"In that case, let me help too." Li Qiuzhi certainly wouldn't refuse.

"Hehe, me too."

Paimon raised a hand, indicating that he wanted to join in.

"Okay, then let's take a look from the roof of the Knights' Building. We don't know if anything has been blown up there."

Amber said with a smile on her fair face.

Next, everyone waved goodbye to Captain Qin, left the acting captain's office, and, led by Amber, walked towards the stairs leading to the upper floor at the back of the hall.

Two girls wearing over-the-knee white boots walked on the steps, slightly twisting their skirts and hips covered and wrapped by belted shorts, and their heels made crisp sounds when hitting the ground.
