The three of them, Lumine, Paimon, and Zhongli, walked into Bubu Pharmacy.
There were no patients in sight, nor any doctors.
The scents of various medicinal herbs wafted towards them.
And because most medicinal herbs needed to be stored in a cool environment, the atmosphere in the place felt quite eerie.
Paimon wanted to hide in Lumine's arms.
Lumine called out into the shop.
"Hello? Is anyone here?"
A voice came from behind the counter.
"Welcome."
The atmosphere, combined with the disembodied voice, made Paimon shrink behind Lumine.
"Did you guys... hear where that voice came from just now..."
"It seemed to be from the counter."
Paimon tugged on Lumine's arm.
"Th-this... how about, Lumine, you go take a look first?"
Lumine really couldn't stand Paimon's timidness.
"What's there to be afraid of in broad daylight?"
She walked up to the counter with great confidence.
A small purple head popped out.
It startled her so much she made a funny face.
[Lumine's expression is too funny]
[Is Lumine still pretending? Hahaha]
[These two are so cute]
[She was just complaining about Paimon, and now she's scared too]
The person behind the counter stood on tiptoe again.
Finally, her head could be seen clearly.
Once she saw it, Paimon wasn't as scared anymore.
"So you were here! You're not even as tall as the counter!"
Lumine changed the subject, "Actually, speaking of height, Paimon is even..."
Paimon protested, "I'm flying, so height doesn't matter!"
[Little Qiqi!]
Guinaifen looked at the strange little head with a talisman stuck to it.
"Huh? Isn't this the five-star I got from a ten-pull?"
[Is the streamer pulling on the standard banner?]
[New here? Asking that question]
[The streamer is a lucky dog, I'll ban anyone who asks again]
"Just good luck, good luck. I borrowed some of Mu Yang's luck. I used some of the Governor's money he gave me to pull a bit."
[Mu Yang: My luck was misplaced]
[Okay, okay, they let you pull so you could pull for Mu Yang, right?]
The terrible Guinaifen whined.
"I'll just do ten more pulls, I can't clear the stage if I don't pull, everyone."
"Who knew I'd get Qiqi in a ten-pull?"
[If you're bad, practice more. I can still play with the starter characters]
[Lucky dog, unfollowing]
[How many five-star characters does the streamer have?]
"Not many, not many, just a few."
Paimon looked at the talismans on her head.
"Is she a zombie?"
Qiqi: "Welcome to Bubu Pharmacy, I am Qiqi."
"Qiqi has already died once. Later, she was saved by an Immortal. So, she is a zombie."
Qiqi's words opened Lumine's eyes.
"To say something incredible so plainly, as expected of a 'land where gods reside'."
Zhongli asked if they had the Eternal Offering here.
Qiqi, however, said they needed to bring a prescription.
Although the Eternal Offering was just an ingredient and didn't require a prescription.
But only by bringing a prescription.
Could the little zombie dispense the medicine, this was a decree she had set for herself.
Zhongli tried asking again.
"Little Qiqi. We don't have a prescription, but we hope you can help us find the 'Eternal Offering'."
And this time, Qiqi agreed.
But in return, they needed to help hunt a Coconut Yaksha using the Guizhong Machine.
That would be fair.
Liyue was, after all, a nation of contracts.
Qiqi's condition was very reasonable.
However, none of the three present had ever heard of a "Coconut Yaksha".
Zhongli pondered for a moment.
"Guizhong Machine... I've heard of the thing she just mentioned."
"The Guizhong Machine is a type of trebuchet set up by ancient Immortals on Mt. Tianheng, and it is a product of mechanics."
"It is located between the ancient city walls of Tianheng and can automatically intercept massive monsters, defending against external threats."
[Zhongli seems to know everything]
[Just a little bit]
[Knows a tiny bit]
[Liyue Encyclopedia?]
Even so, they still didn't know what a Coconut Yaksha was.
Qiqi reminded them again.
"Coconut Yaksha, it is a legendary, semi-immortal beast."
However, that was all the hint she could give.
She didn't know what it looked like.
She didn't know where it was most common.
She didn't know its origin.
She knew absolutely nothing.
At this point, the three of them were helpless.
They could only head to the only clue they had – the Guizhong Machine.
The three arrived at the Guizhong Machine and found it had been damaged.
But fortunately, Zhongli "knew a little" about its principles.
After repairing the Guizhong Machine, He learned that the Treasure Hoarders had broken it for their own selfish desires.
Zhongli was angry.
He dealt with them.
However, they still found nothing about the Coconut Yaksha.
"Just standing here and thinking won't lead to a solution."
"Why don't we go back to Bubu Pharmacy, admit we couldn't find the Coconut Yaksha, and then make plans."
The three returned to Bubu Pharmacy.
The group's "best efforts" couldn't make Qiqi empathize.
Although her zombie face showed no expression, She still expressed her emotions through words.
"Ah. Disappointing, though it's alright, it's still disappointing."
Paimon felt ashamed hearing this.
Lumine suddenly thought of a question.
She asked Qiqi, "Qiqi, what do you want the Coconut Yaksha for?"
If she knew what it was used for.
Perhaps she could determine what the Coconut Yaksha was by its properties.
"Mmm... Coconut Yaksha's milk is delicious. More delicious than regular goat milk. So, they must be half-immortal beasts."
"I'm sorry. My memory isn't good. So, I wrote down the name of that milk... I'll look..."
Qiqi opened a densely written notebook.
Some entries were about doing stretching exercises on time.
Others were about nighttime herb-gathering routes.
And one page was filled with information about someone named 'Yaoyao'.
"Ah, right, it's this, the delicious milk... it's called Coconut Milk."
Silence filled Bubu Pharmacy that night.
[Hahaha, Coconut Milk, Coconut Yaksha]
[LOL, Qiqi is too cute]
[You know, she actually has a point]
[Little cutie's thought process is so unique]
Seeing everyone's silent reaction.
Qiqi realized she might have said something wrong.
Paimon didn't want to be the one to shatter a child's fantasy.
She pushed Lumine forward.
Ying half-crouched and earnestly explained to the child Qiqi.
"Qiqi, Coconut Milk doesn't come from Coconut Yakshas. It comes from coconut trees."
Qiqi's brain began to whir at high speed. (BGM should play here)
A man's voice came from behind.
"Haha, what a meaningful life lesson. Thank you for taking care of my Qiqi."
Lumine stood up and turned around.
The first thing she noticed was a snake coiled around the man's neck.
At this moment, Mu Yang, who was on the rooftop, stretched.
"Ah—! It's finally my turn to appear."
"Boring, so boring."
System: "Are you really okay?"
"You were the one who said you didn't dare to meet her, and you're also the one complaining about being bored."
Mu Yang ignored the system's words.
He twisted his body and did a few warm-up exercises.
He flipped down from the rooftop.
He happened to hear a familiar voice speak.
"How pitiful. Qiqi is already quite innocent, but to think there's an even more naive victim than Qiqi."
How should I put it? Compared to the Medicine Master of the past.
As Changheng, her personality seems more lively.
However, she was still the same familiar her.
Rather than startling guests by speaking, she couldn't stand anyone mistaking it for medicine.
Baizhu introduced Changheng to Lumine and the others.
"May I ask, esteemed guests, setting aside Qiqi's antics... what business brings you here originally?"
Zhongli: "Does your shop happen to have the Eternal Offering?"
Baizhu smiled and nodded.
"Oh, the Eternal Offering, of course, we have it, we have it."
Paimon let out a sigh of relief. After all this effort.
They finally had some progress.
Baizhu's smile deepened. "Three million Mora. Top quality."
"Three million?! You might as well rob the Golden House!"
The price completely stunned Lumine.
At this moment, Doctor Baizhu's smile looked more like that of a cunning merchant about to strike a deal.
The white-haired youth gripped his sword.
He walked in from the entrance of Bubu Pharmacy.
"Let me pay."
