Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Ruota's Trust

Dan Heng felt as if he had received a divine revelation.

Recently, after learning that Paimon might be able to help resolve the Demonic Yin Body issue on the Xianzhou, he had been thinking only of how to satisfy Paimon so that she would try.

However, he had overlooked that this was inherently his duty as a Xianzhou native, and not to place all his hopes on others.

Even Atea, whom Paimon had saved earlier, had realized this, which was why she proactively kept Paimon's secret.

It seemed he had become a bit obsessed, and Dan Heng immediately composed himself.

[Honkai: Stelle Rail · Dan Heng]: "If this method can strengthen the mind or soul, then it will certainly be useful."

[Honkai: Stelle Rail · Dan Heng]: "The reason Xianzhou natives suffer from Demonic Yin Body is due to the imbalance between the immense vitality bestowed by the Abundance's blessings and their relatively lagging mental fortitude.

The vast amount of memories and emotions accumulated over long years will eventually overwhelm the spirit, leading to the collapse of reason, descent into Demonic Yin Body, and loss of self."

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "That sounds very similar to erosion, both being a breakdown from being unable to bear too many long-term memories, like a strong body but a weak spirit.

I hope this method can be of some help."

[Genshin · Jing Liu]: "Is this cultivation similar to the adepti in Liyue?"

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "Their essence is not the same.

The Liyue adepti are immortal beasts and the Yaksha clan; their origins are extraordinary, and their source of power and methods of inheritance are unique, beyond the reach of ordinary people."

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "The cultivation methods sold in the mall, however, are a complete system that can be cultivated step by step.

From qi refining into the body, foundation building, and forming elixirs, all the way to higher realms, there are clear paths to follow.

This is a method of achieving enlightenment through acquired cultivation."

[Zero Zone · Belle]: "Anyone can cultivate?

Mr. Zhongli, after cultivating this method, can one fly into the sky and burrow into the ground like in novels?

Can we afford it?"

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "These cultivation paths have various grades, but the cultivation speed will differ due to variations in aptitude and comprehension.

As long as one's resolve is firm, I believe one can achieve something."

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "Furthermore, there are some other interesting cultivation methods.

For example, a cultivation method called 'Hetero Energy', where one can continuously grow stronger as long as their will is firm enough."

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "There's also a peculiar item called a devil fruit; consuming it grants the ability to transform into animals or elements, and combat power increases rapidly, but there's also a drawback—one cannot touch the seawater of that world; it seems there's some special substance within it."

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "There are many more such cultivation methods.

If you are interested, you can look for them; I have not seen the complete collection either."

[Genshin Impact · Paimon]: "Wow!

Zhongli!

So you've been secretly helping everyone research cultivation paths while lurking in the group!"

[Zero Zone · Belle]: "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhongli!

What you've said is of immense help to us!"

[Honkai Stelle Rail · March 7th]: "So reliable, it feels like Uncle Yang.

Speaking of which, does this count as Jing Liu finding us a parent?"

[Honkai: Star Rail]: "Pull!

Must pull!

Ten-pull!

I'm just waiting for this event!

I've already prepared my self-selection."

[Honkai: Stelle Rail · Dan Heng]: "Mr. Zhongli, thank you for your guidance.

The method of cultivation is of great significance; I have learned much."

Dan Heng's reply had returned to calm, but the words conveyed sincere gratitude and a hint of determination after enlightenment.

[Genshin · Jing Liu]: "As expected, Zhongli is still very reliable, except when he's out shopping!"

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "It was merely a small effort; there is no need for thanks.

The mall is profound, and information is vast.

It is also a pleasure to organize it in my spare time and share my insights with you all."

[Genshin Impact · Paimon]: "Right, right, right!

Zhongli is the best!

But..."

Paimon's little brain immediately turned to practical matters.

[Genshin Impact · Paimon]: "These super powerful-sounding cultivation techniques, do they all have to be obtained through gacha or by saving points?

Our current points..."

[Honkai Stelle Rail · March 7th]: "Ugh... don't even mention it.

I'm saving, I'm saving.

It should be fine after I finish the event, and luckily, the first two ten-pulls had an 80% discount, otherwise I'd have to wait a few more days."

[Genshin · Jing Liu]: "Paimon and I are also almost there, but without an event, we only get less than 150 points a day.

I don't know when the next event will be."

[Zero Zone · Belle]: "Don't worry, there will always be an opportunity."

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "Do not be anxious; one must avoid the mentality of rushing for success, otherwise, if you choose the path of cultivation later, the road ahead will surely be full of difficulties."

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "The mentality of rushing for success is absolutely undesirable; one must maintain a calm mind."

[Genshin · Jing Liu]: "I'm not anxious; I'm just complaining that it's hard to get points."

[Genshin · Jing Liu]: "However, Zhongli, since there's already a cultivation method, what about the matter of erosion?"

[Genshin Impact · Paimon]: "Oh right!

Then I've missed an opportunity to show off."

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "The matter of erosion still requires Paimon's assistance, but it is not directed at my erosion, but at the erosion of Azhdaha."

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "Cultivation still requires a clear consciousness, but Azhdaha's erosion is quite deep, and he can no longer listen to my words at all.

Therefore, I still need to trouble Paimon for assistance."

[Genshin · Jing Liu]: "I see.

Paimon and I don't have anything going on these two days, so you can call us anytime you're ready."

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "In that case, I thank you both for your assistance."

Zhongli thought, 'I was indeed a bit greedy; I've already saved Xiao and I'm still not satisfied.

But if I can truly save Azhdaha and bring this old friend back to his senses, then I'll be greedy and willful just this once.'

[Genshin Impact · Paimon]: "What's with that, don't be so polite!

This is something we already discussed.

And you even organized so many cultivation methods; it's only right that we help you."

[Genshin Impact · Zhongli]: "In that case, I will also book the Liuli Pavilion, New Moon Pavilion, and Wanmin Restaurant in advance.

Paimon can choose then."

[Genshin Impact · Paimon]: "Yay!

Everyone, if you need any help in the future, just say so!

Don't be shy!

As long as you prepare a big meal, you can get the divine doctor Paimon to act, which is very worth it!"

Afterward, everyone agreed that once they got the event points, they would all do a ten-pull together and then compare who was the luckiest.

(Actually, Honkai: Star Rail had once again challenged the group members to a battle, as she was very confident in her luck for the next time!!!)
