The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Thousand Thunderclap!" Purple lightning tore through the air and rushed to Ren Zhinu's side in an instant.

The lightning exploded on the man's pus, almost severing his entire body in half!

The flames burning on the leaping thunderbolts collided with the pus of the human, causing continuous explosions on its already damaged body.

The pus in the human body ultimately could not withstand this level of damage; it lost its vitality and quickly contracted into the body of the ancient man.

In the end, he turned to dust along with Guddar.

"Phew—, what a tough battle!" Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead. If Eileen hadn't discovered the weakness of the Human Pus, their victory would not have been so easy.

“Indeed.” Eileen nodded. During this period, she had walked through the gates of death several times.

"Hmm? Looks like it's almost dawn." Feng said with a hint of regret as he looked at his gradually dissipating body.

"Huh? Really?" Eileen felt time had flown by. She watched Feng disappear and smiled, "Shall we go together next time?"

"Hmm..." Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded in response, "Let's do it together next time!"

Chapter 106 Preparation

2023-08-28

The sky around Mondstadt remained overcast, and the effects of the Stormterror had not been completely eliminated. However, the intensity and number of storms had been greatly reduced, which was a relief.

In a house in Mondstadt, Ember pieced together all the beds in the room to form a large platform.

On the platform, there were all sorts of strange and unusual materials.

The succulent flowers radiating golden light, the slightly wriggling silver fragments, the flower buds waiting to bloom on the emerald green moss, and the red leaves with veins pulsating like blood vessels.

The materials were spread all over the courtyard of the embers, while he himself was carefully looking at a book of perfumery recipes.

After a night of contemplation, Ember decided that in addition to the Knights of Favonius, the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild should also be given some training.

Think about what kind of quests the Adventurers' Guild usually accepts? They're given all sorts of odd jobs like catching cats and dogs and clearing weeds. How can they improve their strength like that?

Therefore, Ember felt that this dragon calamity was a good opportunity to train the younger generation. Only by fighting powerful enemies can one improve!

But before that, Ember needs to make some preparations. He can't just wave his hand and let it charge straight at Stormterror.

Considering the disparity in strength between Stormterror and the Mondstadt adventurers, Ember felt that it wasn't training, it was suicide.

So how can we ensure everyone's safety in the association? By spamming buffs, of course! As long as my buffs outlast my health bar, I'm invincible!

Therefore, the Perfumer, who is almost exclusively created to apply buffs, became Ember's first choice.

He didn't have many perfume potions in the first place, and many of them were given to Eileen and others in need. So, in order to save money, he had to make his own potions.

"Give me a Yatas flower." Ember held a book in one hand and took out a shimmering golden flower from the platform made of beds with the other.

The Atas flower is quite different from ordinary flowers; it shimmers with golden light throughout. The petals extend individually from the stamen, forming an overall oval shape.

Ember threw the Atas flower into the mortar and pestle, then began to pound it rapidly with one hand. The pollen contained within the Atas flower was scattered by Ember's pounding, filling the entire courtyard with golden light.

Yu Jin looked around and thought that the Atas flower was truly the nemesis of pollen allergies, as the pollen was the most abundant part of the entire flower.

“Grind the empty shells of the silver teardrops and the cave moss buds together into powder and mix them into the Atas flower.” Ember then took out a slightly flowing silver fragment and a piece of moss that was about to bloom.

With a flick of his hand, the two turned into fine dust. He then placed the silvery dust into a mortar and pestle.

Immediately, a strange change occurred in the mortar: the pollen of the Atas flower stopped drifting and began to combine with the silvery dust to form a new powder.

It seems that the yata flower can activate the activity of various substances, no wonder it is used in all kinds of perfumes.

"Then, the juice of the Attilius leaf!" With a squeeze of his hand, the blood-red Attilius leaf released its crimson juice, just like fresh blood.

A sweet aroma emanates from the juice of the Attila leaves; just a whiff is enough to get your blood pumping and your spirits soaring.

Atria leaves, a rare medicinal herb from the borderlands, can maximize a person's potential, which is why they are found in many potions.

"Finally, dry it!" Yu Jin picked up the mortar and pestle with one hand, and lit a flame in the palm of his other hand to quickly dry the red-hot liquid medicine in the mortar.

Soon, the red smoke stopped coming out of the mortar, indicating that the drying process was complete. Yu Jin looked at the medicine inside the mortar.

Hmm, very good. The colorful but overall grayish-white medicinal powder lies quietly in the mortar.

Ember picked up the perfume bottle and collected the powders. He held the bottle by its slender neck and brought it to his eyes.

Inside the glass perfume bottle, the medicinal powder was evenly spread. Even in the dim light, it couldn't block the faint glow from inside the perfume bottle.

Invigorating Fragrance – a technique possessed by perfumers who served in the war of shattered peace, and one of the tools made using a perfume bottle.

It consumes Focus Points to increase the attack power of oneself and nearby allies, and can only be used once, greatly reducing the damage received.

"Invigorate" has an extremely powerful support effect, and those who become accustomed to it will transform into a suicide squad. As a result, the Perfumer is never short of excellent soldiers.

"Hehe, it seems I do have a real talent for being a perfumer." Yu Jin looked at the invigorating fragrance that was exactly the same as he remembered and chuckled a few times.

Then Ember opened the bottle, pinched the bottle belly, and frantically waved his hands, spilling all the invigorating incense from the bottle.

The originally grayish-white medicine, after being shaken vigorously, turned into a dazzling golden light the moment it was shaken out of the bottle.

Golden light filled Ember's courtyard, accompanied by the scent of invigorating incense. Ember could feel his body becoming more active, and not only that, a faint glass-like protective shield appeared around him.

Seeing the protective shield appear, Ember nodded in relief. The attack power boost from the Invigorating Incense was just a bonus; what Ember truly valued was the protective shield it created.

A properly formed protective shield from a good invigorating incense can absorb at least 90% of the damage!

"However, the range of the small perfume bottle seems a bit small." Yu Jin looked at the potion and realized that it couldn't even cover an area as small as his own yard, and he immediately felt a little worried.

When fighting the Wind Dragon, the wider the area covered by the potion, the better. Otherwise, if the wind blows it away as soon as it's sprayed, you'll have wasted your potion.

"Hmm, what should we do?" Yu Jin stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"I've got it!" Yu Jin clapped his hands, having come up with an idea.

He rushed out the door and ran along the street all the way to Mondstadt. Because of the storm that had hit yesterday, there weren't many people in Mondstadt.

Everyone went back to collect their belongings that had been blown away.

Ember ran all the way to the alchemy table in Mondstadt Square. This was his first time here; he had only given Timaeus a perfunctory greeting before.

"Timaeus... wait? Who are you?" Ember stopped greeting him. He realized that the Timaeus who had stood before the alchemy table for millennia had been replaced!

It had been replaced by a green-haired girl with animal ears. "Another beast girl?" That was Ember's first thought upon seeing Sugar.

It seems there are significantly more people with animalistic features in Mondstadt than in other countries. I haven't seen one in Liyue, but the one in Inazuma is truly a fox spirit.

Are beast girls or beast men a specialty of Mondstadt?

“I…I’m Sugar, and like Timaus, I’m Mr. Abedo’s assistant.” Sugar only said a few words before her face turned red.

"Sugar, hello. I'm Ember." Ember waved to Sugar. It didn't matter that Timaus wasn't there, since the request he made wasn't too difficult anyway.

Sugar nodded to Ember and said excitedly, "I know you, Mr. Ember, the great adventurer!"

"Mr. Ember, what brings you here? Please feel free to use the alchemy table if you wish." Sugar looked at Ember, seemingly very curious about him.

"Haha, no, I'm here to ask you for a favor." Yu Jin was quite pleased with his public statement.

As he spoke, he took out a blueprint and explained to the puzzled Sugar, "Could you help me enlarge the bottle on this picture to the size of a person?"

Sugar took the blueprint from Ember, which depicted something resembling a long-necked flask, but with a shorter neck and a smaller belly.

The drawings not only show the proportions of the various parts of the bottle, but also various patterns that can be engraved on the bottle.

Why must potions be stored in perfume bottles? Because the engraved patterns on the bottles not only enhance the potion's effects but also prevent accidental activation and maintain optimal storage conditions.

"This is……"

“Just some trinkets, but the more the better. The magic arrays on them should be quite useful for you alchemists, so consider it payment,” Ember explained.

"So? Should we answer?" Yu Jin asked.

"Here you go! Don't worry, Mr. Ember, we'll have the finished product soon!" Sugar gripped the blueprints tightly and looked at Ember.

The great adventurer truly lives up to his name!

Chapter 107 My eyes are really dry

2023-08-28

After returning from Mondstadt, Ember began his long journey of drug manufacturing.

Thanks to his slightly obsessive-compulsive disorder, he has taken some things from every world, more or less.

Therefore, there is not much shortage of raw material embers, especially plant-based raw materials—because embers can grow inside themselves.

"Cough cough cough! Being a perfumer is no job for humans!" Yu Jin complained as he saw the dust all over the yard.

He had initially wondered why perfumers always wore robes and masks. Now the mystery is solved: it was because the working conditions were so harsh that they had no choice but to do so.

Fortunately, his harvest was considerable. With the relentless grinding of the embers, he transformed a massive amount of materials into invigorating incense, as evidenced by the enormous pile of potions that could overwhelm him!

"Hmph!" Ember was already imagining the shocked look on the Wind Demon Dragon's face. He got up, collected the potion dust, and then began further preparations.

The mere presence of the Invigorating Incense made Ember somewhat uneasy, even though it could grant immunity to over 90% of damage.

But if someone is really bad at the game or the invigorating incense doesn't cover them up enough and they die immediately, then things have really gotten out of hand.

So, just to be on the safe side, he'll probably have to have a good cry.

"Whoosh!" Yu Jin took out the Holy Grail bottle containing the elixir, and through the mouth of the bottle, one could see the blue light reverberating inside.

Each time the Holy Grail Flask is used, it requires a long period of time to recharge. It was last used during the battle with Kutri, and now, the Holy Grail Flask is fully "charged"!

The embers drank the Blue Secret Dew, and endless magic surged from their bodies, seemingly never to run dry.

So Yu Jin picked up the large porcelain basin that had been prepared and stuck his head inside.

I'm going to cry!

The holy bell in his hand swung rapidly, and correspondingly, pale orange teardrops kept falling from the Ember Helmet.

A full fifteen seconds! Ember cried for a full fifteen seconds! A new record has been set!

Although this wasn't real crying.

The embers swirled in the basin, a faint orange light shimmering at its bottom. To call it tears was an understatement; it was more like the condensation of some kind of power.

Ember felt the immense power within, a power powerful enough to force a dying person to remain in the world.

Then he started diluting it with water. Just kidding, if he had used it directly without diluting it, not only would it have been a waste, but even if you drained him dry, he wouldn't have shed so many tears of farewell.
