"That's right, dyes." Jiang Xuan stood up. He took out a large pile of roses and dandelions from a chest on the other side of the living room.
These were dyes for rose red and dandelion yellow. They were the most basic and easiest two colors to obtain.
As for the others, some required bone meal, others lapis lazuli dye.
The former was too extravagant to take out. He simply didn't have the latter.
Jiang Xuan had indeed collected a lot of various flowers.
These things also grew fast. They grew in large patches.
He harvested them casually.
Plus what he had stored before, he still had four or five stacks of various flowers.
Jiang Xuan only took half a stack of roses and half a stack of dandelions.
He put them on the workbench. They happened to dismantle into one stack of rose red and one stack of dandelion yellow.
Handing them to Zhongli, Jiang Xuan smiled: "These are the most basic colors. These two colors, when synthesized, can also form orange dye. If you're willing, you can try it yourselves."
"These dyes are made from pure flowers. They should be top-grade dyes."
"In any case, they should sell well in Liyue Harbor."
Saying this, Jiang Xuan looked at Ningguang.
He hadn't forgotten that Ningguang had a top-tier tailor under her command, and the largest custom tailoring shop in Liyue Harbor.
Ningguang should naturally know a lot about these things.
Ningguang indeed, as Jiang Xuan expected, smiled faintly and nodded. Her gaze was somewhat amazed as she looked at the dyes.
"Dyes formed purely from flowers. Even in Liyue Harbor, I have never heard of such high-grade dyes."
"In my opinion, this batch of dyes will definitely be very popular and sell for a good price."
"It seems that in the future, we need to pay more attention to flowers."
"Also..." Ningguang folded her arms. She was elegant and noble.
Her eyes were curved. She gazed at Jiang Xuan with a faint smile.
"If possible, I hope our private cooperation can include these dyes."
Jiang Xuan didn't know if Ningguang was serious or joking. But these were minor matters. Agreeing was fine.
He nodded. Jiang Xuan smiled: "We'll have plenty to discuss about cooperation later. As for today... let's go home."
...
The second day after Jiang Xuan and Liyue officially signed their cooperation.
It wasn't a full load, but it was a fruitful return.
As before, Ningguang had New Moon Pavilion send a lavish dinner. Everyone chatted and laughed at the dinner table.
Around nine o'clock, Ningguang and the others took their leave.
Keqing and Ganyu also left tonight. After all, they were two girls. It wasn't appropriate to live with Jiang Xuan in this secluded spot under Mount Tianheng for too long.
However, they had said that they might come earlier tomorrow morning.
Xiao also specifically said that he would bring a friend who was very likely to fly.
Considering that any humanoid creature entering the MC world would be restricted from flying due to the rules.
Jiang Xuan estimated that Zhongli probably thought today's work would be simpler with someone who could fly.
And in Liyue, people whose original forms could fly, and who possessed certain self-protective powers.
Were either Cloud Retainer or Mountain Shaper.
As for the other Adeptus, Moon Carver...
Although he lived freely in Teyvat, he was, after all, just an adeptus beast!
Entering the MC world, he probably wouldn't be able to fly.
Jiang Xuan didn't think too much. Anyway, whoever it was, as long as they could fly, it was good.
Having a flying character in the early stages was very convenient, whether for building or exploring terrain.
After sending Ningguang and the others back to Liyue Harbor, Jiang Xuan stood at the entrance of Liyue Harbor. He looked at the brightly lit city. He fell silent.
Just now, Ningguang and the others had invited Jiang Xuan to stroll around inside.
But... He had more important things to do now. Liyue Harbor was right there; it wouldn't run away.
Collecting his thoughts, Jiang Xuan slightly bent his knees. He then leaped towards his home.
A thunderous sound startled the people of Liyue Harbor.
But they didn't find anything broken anywhere.
They could only assume it was a dry thunderclap.
Only Ningguang and the others, who had just ascended to the Jade Chamber, exchanged glances. They all chuckled bitterly.
"I reckon there's another large crater at the main entrance of Liyue Harbor..." Ningguang said playfully. Keqing, however, nodded in agreement.
"That's right. Someone will have to be sent to level it soon. Also, I need to tell Jiang Xuan tomorrow to control his strength in Liyue."
"Otherwise, it will easily cause great damage."
Ningguang had only mentioned it casually. She hadn't expected Keqing to so seriously plan the follow-up.
However, this was also Keqing, the workaholic's, characteristic.
"There's no need to specifically tell Jiang Xuan about this. He knows it himself."
Ningguang slightly shook her head. Clearly, she didn't intend to let Keqing use this to restrain Jiang Xuan or make him unhappy.
Seeing Keqing still wanting to say something, Ningguang subtly changed the subject.
"Suddenly without Jiang Xuan's physique bonus, I realize how weak I truly am..."
Ningguang half-changed the subject, half-seriously looked at her arm.
"In the past, when I sold goods on the streets of Liyue Harbor and accumulated Mora, although my body wasn't particularly strong, I was somewhat robust from years of hard work."
"Ascending to the position of Tianquan, I thought I worked even harder and diligently. But I never expected that my body would be weaker than before..."
Saying this, Ningguang shook her head, sighing somewhat helplessly.
"Ultimately, without realizing it, I've become pampered and weakened my physique."
"..."
Keqing was speechless at Ningguang's unawareness.
She unknowingly became pampered. The entire Liyue Harbor, and even all of Teyvat.
Who didn't know that Tianquan Ningguang, wielding both power and wealth, stood high above, utterly delicate?
"In the future, I need to train more in Jiang Xuan's world."
Ningguang chuckled. Her profound, clear eyes were bottomless. No one could discern her true thoughts from them.
"Jiang Xuan's world has a good saying: 'The body is the capital of everything'..."
"Alright, alright, stop changing the subject."
Keqing sighed. She looked at Ningguang angrily.
"I won't tell Jiang Xuan about controlling his strength anymore, okay?"
"Honestly, what's there to care about? Jiang Xuan and we are friends. This is just a proper reminder. How could this jeopardize our relationship?"
Keqing, although quick and practical in her work, was the pragmatic type in Liyue.
But ascending to the position of Yuheng at such a young age truly represented her extraordinariness.
She wasn't good at dealing with enthusiastic people, nor was she skilled at socializing.
But that didn't mean she was direct and artless. She possessed the necessary comprehension.
Ningguang didn't feel that Keqing directly calling her out had made her lose face.
She just chuckled, then became serious.
"Alright, enough chitchat. Let's summarize today's information."
"Before that, I hope everyone present has a clear positioning and understanding in their minds."
"Our cooperation with Jiang Xuan is based on fairness, justice, and mutual benefit."
"Our relationship with Jiang Xuan should be that of unwavering partners, and also true friends who share weal and woe."
"Especially when Liyue miners and the Millelith are stationed for pioneering work, and everything is on track."
Ningguang paused. She scanned everyone present.
"I hope that we can, as friends, explore that world with Jiang Xuan."
At this moment, even Xiao, who was one of the Adepti, and Zhongli, who concealed his identity, listened obediently.
After all, on the surface, Rex Lapis had entrusted all the details of the cooperation to Ningguang.
And Zhongli himself also admitted that in such matters, Ningguang far surpassed him.
As for the matters Ningguang proposed, naturally, no one had any objections.
Keqing and Ganyu, needless to say, were already good friends with Jiang Xuan. Ganyu even had some curious thoughts.
Zhongli, on the other hand, had a frank conversation with Jiang Xuan today. He felt Jiang Xuan was a good friend, and had already accepted him as a friend.
As for Xiao... Xiao only listened to Zhongli. Whatever Zhongli told him to do, he would do.
Considering Zhongli's previous requests, there was naturally no need to think further.
Seeing that everyone accepted it quickly, Ningguang slightly relaxed. She then looked at Xiao.
"Let's not talk about our gains today. But there's one thing I'm very curious about."
"Demon-Conquering Sage, the trident Jiang Xuan gave you. Could you take it out and let everyone observe it?"
Xiao nodded silently.
Immediately, he mustered his strength. He even activated some Adeptal energy to aid him. He took out the trident from his backpack.
Perhaps because he was fully prepared, Xiao showed no signs of difficulty.
Ningguang naturally didn't know that Xiao had made so many preparations to avoid losing face in front of Zhongli.
Seeing his normal expression, she thought the trident wasn't heavy.
Her face softened slightly. She was about to say something.
Xiao brandished the trident in a flourish.
In an instant, a sharp whistling wind cut through the hall, as if some terrifying savage beast was roaring.
Due to its immense weight, a pure gust of wind, brought forth by the swing, swept across a large tree on one side.
The tree was instantly cut in half.
Xiao was also stunned. He instinctively retracted the trident and stood it on the ground.
Thump! The ground, made of exquisite white jade flagstones, was crushed by the trident.
At this moment, the Jade Chamber fell into a long silence.
