Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

[Silver Branch: This is Lord Guyun's wish, and I support it.]

[Star: I also support Yun Li.]

Yun Li asked the people present for the answer.

Since that's the case, they all looked at Gu Yun without prior arrangement. Since it's a reforging, let's follow its own will.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Yun Li."

Finally, the group went to the Five Weapons Workshop of the Bureau of Works to borrow a casting furnace.

Yun Li gripped the hilt of the Lonely Cloud Sword, below which lay a crimson furnace.

"It is my honor to get to know you in this way."

"It's my honor, thank you, Yun Li."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yun was immersed in the molten iron, which was like lava, and transformed into pure molten iron liquid.

Everything is as Gu Yun wished.

[Qingque: That's much better now. I just wonder what instrument Guyun has been recast into.]

[Jing Yuan: Tired of the sword of slaughter, this ending can be considered perfect.]

[Yanqing: May Lord Guyun rest in peace. But... what about the prizes for the martial arts ceremony?]

[Star: How about we use the sword you gave to March instead?]

[March 7th: No, this was given to me by Yanqing.]

"Sigh..." Yun Li sighed, rubbing her forehead as she walked out of the Industrial Construction Department.

Huaiyan laughed and said, "What are you so upset about, little girl? Are you feeling regretful?"

"You were more resolute than anyone else when you were forging the sword, so why do you look so unwilling now?"

Yun Li said guiltily, "Grandpa, I melted down the prize from the Martial Arts Ceremony. How are you going to explain this to Luo Fu?"

Huai Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Goodness, such a small Yun Li actually has such a big conscience. Hehe, not easy at all."

Yun Li crossed her arms and looked displeased. What? I finally thought of Grandpa for once, and he laughed at me.

Yun Li still intends to retrieve the demonic sword forged by Han Guang, since people like Gu Yun are still few and far between, and the Sui Yang Demonic Sword is still too dangerous.

"I'll just wait before I act impulsively next time."

Huaiyan laughed heartily: "Good, wait a minute. Remember today, because in the future, there will be many more things that we have to wait for."

As for the prize for the martial arts competition, Huaiyan had already prepared it: a precious sword without the Suiyang sword.

[Huaiyan: Yunli has grown a lot on this trip. Luofu is truly a wonderful place. Jingyuan, you must continue to maintain this.]

Jingyuan: I understand.

[Yun Li: In that case, Grandpa, please give me the Lonely Cloud. I want to fulfill my promise to it.]

[Silver Branch: Your Excellency, may your music spread even more pure beauty.]

[Gu Yun: Thank you... thank you all. My old friend...]

[Yanqing: Please rest assured, the Cloud Cavalry will not mistreat any soldier. We will find his hometown and inscribe his name.]

Meanwhile, in the Golden Man Alley, the envoys of Kalevala and the Silver Branches were choosing a place to commemorate the hero.

Huaiyan also invited Xing to attend the ceremony.

Arriving at a corner of Jinren Alley, a small golden tree has already been planted.

It grew right under that stone tablet, and its branches have never withered in hundreds of years, like proof of a myth.

The tree planted now is just a branch of its trunk.

This can be considered a true return to one's roots.

Pavor also brought the inscription.

"Wandering in a foreign land, with my god about to fall, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my divine duty."

"If any passerby takes pity on me, please carry the yellow earth from before the stele back to Luofu for burial."

In their history, because he came down from the sky to the earth, this hero was called the Cloud Knight.

"Welcome home, Cloud Knight."

In front of the golden sapling, there was a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument).

It is the reforged Lone Cloud.

"You can get some rest now."

Chapter 175 Placer Gold: It’s over!

"Outside Mondstadt."

"The greater the despair, the greater the hope. Farewell, hero of this foreign land." Wendy took out a bottle of wine and gazed into the distance.

"I, Wendy, would like to propose a toast to you both... one bottle. I'll finish mine, you can drink as you please."

After finishing a bottle of rare wine, Wendy's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Sigh, I should have drunk slower. Now I have to find a way to get some more alcohol. How about I steal a bottle from Grandpa Diluc and pay him back when I have the money?"

"However... I don't think I've paid for the drinks yet, so I'm a little embarrassed to go again."

"How about I imitate the old man's handwriting again and do business with Mond?"

"May the wind god deceive you."

"Let's do it! A wind current rises beneath our feet, lifting Venti towards Liyue."

"A faint smell of burning accompanied the black smoke as it drifted away on the breeze, leaving traces in the air."

"And the source was the fireworks that Hanabi gave to Klee."

Slightly tipsy, Wendy only felt a chill on her butt, but that didn't matter.

"Grandpa, I'm here again!"

"Good." Zhong Li in the teahouse clapped subconsciously. "The 'Goddess Splitting the Temple' is truly amazing."

Zhongli picked up his teacup, took a sip, and suddenly closed his eyes in thought.

"Hiss... Has this drunkard stopped caring about his appearance at all? It's an insult to civility... It's truly an insult to civility."

"No, we can't let him in and corrupt the atmosphere of Liyue."

"The heavens move in all things."

Since Silver Branch was considered an accomplice in the theft of the sword, General Huaiyan made him stand in front of the golden sapling as punishment, telling passersby the story of the hero and the sword.

Yinzhi readily accepted, "This is hardly a punishment! It is exactly what I requested."

[March 7th: Haha, I think Yinzhi is kind of cute.]

[Fireworks: If it weren't for General Huaiyan, how would you have rewarded him?]

[Sambo: Unbelievable.]

[Ling: This is a perfect match for your major; Yinzhi is indeed well-suited for this kind of work.]

[Huaiyan: I'm getting old, I can't keep up with your young people's thinking anymore. Hehe, what's the meaning of this reward, Xiaoyunli?]

[Yun Li: Uh… well, it’s nothing, Grandpa.]

"Gu Yun, have you ever regretted it?" Yun Li looked at the scarred sword in her hand.

"Gu Yun: 'When I first met him, I thought he was just an ordinary Cloud Rider, at most someone who had lived a longer life.'"

"As shown in the video, my initial intention was to control him and make him my puppet."

"But I never expected... that he could hold on until his demonic possession flared up and he ended his own life, for hundreds of years."

"In the end, all that's left for me is: to end the battle."

"Come on, Yun Li. I'm tired."

"Yun Li silently placed Gu Yun into the furnace. Han Guang... you did do a good deed, but your sins still remain."

"At night, the workshop was brightly lit."

"With the last string assembled, Gu Yun has completely changed its appearance."

"An ordinary guqin."

Yun Li brought the guqin to the small golden tree and used two small stools as a support to put Gu Yun down.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves. Even without anyone playing, the guqin would occasionally utter a few notes, as if humming an off-key tune for someone.

"Mingming is a very active child, but he listened for a long time tonight. He didn't leave until dawn when there were more pedestrians on the street."

"Wow, there are so many people, Xing. Look, isn't that the Pipixi man who asked us questions in the video?" March 7th took the lead, guiding Xing and Danheng towards the dock.

Xing scratched his head. "Pipixi and the machine, shouldn't they be climbing the Jianmu tree? Why are they still here?"

"It's not that they didn't want to go, it's just that after walking a few steps, more than a dozen pairs of Cloud Riders' eyes would inadvertently scan them."

"The rider in the video was in a bad mood, and I really want to improve."

"Hello, March 7th, Xing, and Mr. Danheng." A young couple holding cameras greeted each other.

"You three are absolutely the most accurate cosplayers of the Pioneer Squad right now! Can we take a picture together?"

"March 7th, an awkward laugh. I'm playing myself, it's really..."

"Wow, so many people are wearing the same clothes as us." Xing looked around, occasionally exclaiming in surprise.

Dan Heng was speechless. He thought, "If Ren saw this, he'd be furious."

March 7th: "Hello, taking photos is fine, of course. But where did they buy their clothes?"

The young couple said, "Oh, you didn't know? The company now has both online and physical stores, and sales are booming!"

"After Sunday's battle, the members of Star Train are famous enough to debut on the spot."

"Even worlds that are not connected to interstellar travel have been swept up in this wave."

"And the company, as the largest force in the entire universe, spans the entire world."

"The strategic investment department, led by Sand Gold and Toppa, seized this opportunity and produced matching outfits for all the key personnel involved in Pinocchio, including Sand Gold himself."

"Even Pam's image is being discussed with Star Train regarding usage rights."

After understanding, Xing silently took out her phone and typed: "Golden Sands for Money".

"On the other side, Sand Gold stared into thought as he looked at the message from Star. 'No, giving you 10% of the net revenue from the train series apparel isn't enough.'"

"Xinghe and March were unaware of the situation because they went to bed too early yesterday, and Danheng also did not expect the company to release the product so quickly, in just one day."

"Hi, beautiful lady. Please open your payment code. Here's 50,000 credits for you." A chubby rich kid dressed in gold-plated clothing was picking lucky audience members, and Xing was lucky enough to be chosen.

"Xing quickly opened his phone. 'A bastard wouldn't pass up money like this.'"

"Star: 'Hi, your cosplay of the gold dust is so realistic. Can I take a picture?'"

"Hey, you have good taste." The chubby guy took off his sunglasses. "You're not bad either, you look exactly like the Trail Blazers. Taking pictures is definitely fine."

"As he spoke, the chubby boy made a heart shape with his hands in front of his chest, his whole body bulged, and his muscles bulged out like a little Tyrannosaurus Rex. He blinked as if to say, 'Hurry up and film!'"

"Click! Xing thanked Little Fatty and sent the picture she had just taken to Sand Gold."

"March, Danheng. I see Yanqing, let's hurry."

"Sajin picked up his phone."

"Xing... what is she planning now?"

"Sand Gold clicked on the photo sent by Star; it was a chubby little guy. But that outfit, those massive pectoral muscles...?"

"Uh... you're going to attack me mentally if I don't give you money, huh?"

"Slide your finger across the screen to delete...deep clean."

"Phew. I treated you like a friend, and you treated me like a Japanese person."

"Ding ding ding..."
