Chapter 548: Elemental Food in Exchange for Data, Fruitless Expedition

Albedo was saying to Ying: "You have purified Tevarin's tears, and you have extremely rare powers."

"This power ensures that you will not only not be corrupted by filth and poison, but also completely eliminate their dangers."

"So, this one-handed sword that ordinary people cannot use at all can only be used safely by you without being cursed or contaminated."

Ying shook his hand. His palm was white and not contaminated by toxins. "With Durin's power, it's no wonder that humans can create such a magic sword. During the test, I really didn't feel any discomfort."

Paimon looked at the dark purple sword and said, "That being said, this sword... still makes me uneasy."

Albedo pleaded, "I need its data urgently. Ying is special, so I can only ask Ying for help. In the future, if you need anything from me, I will agree to it."

"Can you tell me what you felt during the battle?"

Ying recalled: "After defeating several slimes with the sword, the worn-out blade began to glow."

Albedo nodded: "That's the signal to start the experiment."

Ying pondered, "After defeating more enemies, I can feel that the power of the sword has increased a lot. It seems to be absorbing the enemy's power and transforming it into the power of the sword itself."

Albedo's eyes swept over the sword, and the purple light on it seemed to be breathing: "In a sense, this sword can also be considered a 'living thing'. By killing enemies, the weak sword absorbs strength and continuously strengthens itself."

"It has Durin's 'Humus Blood' on it. This sword can be called the 'Humus Sword'. It grows faster than ordinary weapons, is more evil, and is more convenient..."

"Ying, use it to fight again and collect some data."

“I need it to keep growing.”

Albedo wrote down the current data on the sword and handed the sword to Ying.

"In the near future, all inferences will be verified."

Ying took the sword, and Paimeng spread his hands: "Okay! But we need to rest today and have a warm meal. This way we will have the strength to defeat the monsters and teach those treasure-stealing groups who are scolding us even though they are the thieves."

Albedo turned his head and looked at Jiang Yi: "There are not many ingredients in the camp..."

Jiang Yi understood what he meant. He borrowed the alchemy workshop, but he couldn't eat and live there for free: "I will provide the food."

A cave is a big granary.

Jiang Yi can take out whatever you want to eat.

"Ah - starting to eat again?" Yandora felt that Jiang Yi had just finished eating not long ago.

"I want a butter fried fish and a special edition elemental dish." Albedo said to Jiang Yi and Ying who were cooking.

"Before, when Ying was cooperating with the research, I asked her if we could use elemental power to cook. Not cooking, but putting elemental power into the dish."

"Ying was unsuccessful, but she served a dish made of frozen tree leaves, which had the element of ice. However, this does not fit my research concept. I want ordinary ingredients to have elemental power added to them."

"Jiang Yi, you didn't control the elements before, but now that you do, can you do it?"

"By the way, after you succeed, I'll give you a copy of the materials related to your topic."

Jiang Yi immediately perked up: "This matter... is very simple."

"Huh?" Paimon was surprised. "Ying uses elemental power to cook, but the food can only be turned into stone or torn into pieces by the wind. Can you really do it?"

Albedo also said: "As for cooking elemental ingredients and changing ordinary food into elemental food, I haven't done much research. Sorry for bothering you."

"I'm curious if the food will become more delicious, or change its taste, or even... multiply?"

Jiang Yi held up a spoonful of water: "Pure Water Spirit can transform elemental power into ordinary water and change the taste of water. At the beginning, the water area was too wide and the concentration of elements in the water was insufficient, so it did not harm people, but I can increase the concentration of water elements in it and turn it into elemental water."

Albedo nodded: "It's about the waters at the junction of Mondstadt and Liyue becoming bitter. I heard about it."

Ying and Paimon suddenly realized: "So, if we are making soup, you and Yandora, who are blessed by the water spirit, can turn ordinary soup into water element soup."

"Yes, not just soup, but wine as well." Jiang Yi handed Albedo a glass of homemade wine.

"Add elements to food without destroying it. The Liyue Immortal Family has a magical cauldron that fuses the power of magical powers into metal. I can use this technique to blend elements into food."

"With a thorough understanding of the elements and ingredients, the alchemical method of 'understanding, decomposition, and reconstruction', as well as the theory of element enrichment, ordinary ingredients can be turned into 'elemental ingredients'."

Paimon scratched his head and began to not understand.

Albedo became interested: "Element enrichment theory..."

He watched Jiang Yi perform.

Alchemy, magic, and inexplicable technology are used to forge elemental food.

"Ice element, ice crystal lotus seeds. Ordinary lotus seeds become ice element seeds. Just like the hillbillies become frosty white due to the influence of the ice element, these lotus seeds also become ice blue with frost."

"Inspired by the leaves of wind-infused oak in the wind, this is the flying mint salad."

Jiang Yi casually made a few dishes, showing his extraordinary use of elements.

"The structure of the lotus seed has changed. Artificial elemental plants are undoubtedly part of creation." Albedo took a bite of the lotus seed. "It tastes crisper and seems sweeter. The moisture inside is well preserved and very tender. It is suitable for summer consumption, but there is no proliferation reaction. Perhaps we should use grass elements to make it easier to proliferate."

"Your information is on the second and fourth layers of the bookshelf on the left..." As agreed, Albedo directly gave Jiang Yi the detection and analysis data of the snow mountain mineral plants.

"Very good, time is money, and it saves me some troublesome and boring work." Jiang Yi felt that it was worth cooking a meal in exchange for the information.

Testing is just a simple task; the real difficulty lies in synthesizing and creating a potion that can remove the filth from dragon skeletons or purify the pure vitality of a dragon.

Also, the study of the nature of special energy, the birth of minerals and plants...

After dinner, take a walk around the campsite.

Jiang Yi and Albedo looked at the dragon skeleton in Sleeping Dragon Valley.

"It is a very wonderful thing that the snow on the snow-capped mountains does not melt all year round."

"Humic poison..." Albedo pondered over what Jiang Yi had said before about scraping some dragon skeleton powder to study.

"A god like Barbatos, the god of wind, chose the snowy mountains as Durin's grave. He probably wanted to use the power of freezing everything to suppress the rotten poison in Durin's body."

"Du Lin's landing here is not accidental, but inevitable."

"The snowy mountains are now inextricably linked to Dulin."

Jiang Yi turned and looked towards the top of the mountain: "Albedo, are you interested in studying the spikes in the sky?"

"The power that caused the snow-capped mountains to freeze is most likely from this."

According to the game's memory, there was a fruitless expedition in the snowy mountains.

This was also confirmed by what Ying said during the meal and conversation about the many damaged ruins guarding the snowy mountains.

In the past, the "Godless Kingdom" Kanreya once sent a large number of ruins guards here to study the terrifying power "Frost Sky Nail" that fell from the sky.

The researchers searched everywhere and found the fragments of the Frost Nail that fell from the sky in the snowy mountains.

When the pillar fell from the sky, it broke into three parts, cutting off the earth's veins, blocking the moonlight, and creating a sky full of wind and snow, an extremely cold area.

Researchers studied the power of the Frost Nail, trying to gain access to it, but failed.

The Frost Nail, which had already split into three pieces, was damaged again and split into even smaller pieces.

Among them, three fragments flew outward and landed on the Honeysuckle Tree, the bottom of the Starlight Cave, and the suburbs of the Snow Burial City...frozen by ancient ice.

Moreover, the top of the mountain was sealed by extremely cold air, making it impossible for adventurers to go up the mountain.

It was not until the excellent guide and adventurer Ying untied the ice that the fragments were pulled by the force and actively returned to their original bodies on the top of the mountain.

Jiang Yi felt that since he couldn't even research Kanriya, which was full of black technology, it was even more unrealistic for him to research this power alone.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.

I wonder if Albedo is interested?
