However, Chen Luo realized one thing: Keqing was not an excellent client because she was too hands-on.

This left Chen Luo with no room to maneuver.

Therefore, Chen Luo still prefers those social outcasts.

"Hmm? Cloud Retainer, what brings you here?"

Just as Keqing was about to ask Chen Luo for more proof, Chen Luo pointed behind them and exclaimed in surprise.

"The Cloud Retainer?" Keqing was taken aback.

Keqing, one of the seven who control Liyue, naturally knows the name of Cloud Retainer. A celestial being has come to a mortal market, which is no small matter.

So almost simultaneously, Keqing Ningguang all turned around and looked behind them, while Zhongli remained quietly standing in place, watching Chen Luo.

Almost instantly, Chen Luo collected all the dolls on the stall, leaving only one.

With Zhongli able to see, Chen Luo specifically pointed to the doll and then to Keqing.

Immediately afterwards, they made their escape.

The entire sequence of movements was fluid and graceful, showing remarkable skill.

"Where is Cloud Retainer... uh, where is everyone?" Keqing turned around after three seconds, about to question him, but found that there was no one at the stall, only three small stools.

Then Keqing couldn't help but look at Zhongli, who hadn't turned around.

Keqing guessed that Zhongli might not recognize Cloud Retainer, which is why he didn't turn around. In other words, the other party was probably the only direct eyewitness at the time.

"It's obvious that the other party didn't have a business license or a lease agreement, so they ran away," Zhongli said after a moment of contemplation.

"How is that possible? How could he run so fast?" Keqing said in surprise.

I only went back to look for three seconds, how could the other person have disappeared so quickly?

"No, that's not the point. The point is, does the other party really not have a business license?"

Keqing did not understand, and Keqing was deeply shocked.

Keqing initially believed that the report might be true, and out of a sense of responsibility, Keqing made a special trip to investigate.

However, upon arriving here, seeing that Ningguang and Zhongli, the new Guest Official of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, had both come here, it proved that they did indeed have some connections. Therefore, obtaining a business license or something similar would be quite simple.

Others may not understand Ningguang, but Keqing certainly does.

Although Ningguang doesn't necessarily want the best of everything, ordinary things still don't meet the other party's standards.

Moreover, when Ke Qing heard that these puppets were carved with Adeptus Formations, Keqing basically concluded that it was just a rumor.

Keqing even considered going to find the person who made the report and suing him for wasting judicial resources.

But Keqing really didn't expect that the other party didn't actually have a business license.

"Moreover, this Rex Lapis puppet that they deliberately left behind was probably meant for you," Zhongli said, pointing to the last remaining Geo Archon at his feet.

"If you really want to chase after them, they ran that way." Zhongli pointed in a certain direction. Keqing turned her head and saw Chen Luo, who was now only a silhouette, with the white-haired girl next to him still standing out conspicuously.

"Stop! Don't run!" Seeing that the other person was still a shadow, Keqing shouted loudly.

At least the other party didn't disappear without a trace, which means there's still a chance to catch up!

Upon hearing this sound, the figures seemed to slip away even faster.

It turns out that shouting for the other person to stop running is useless, because few guilty people will actually stop; instead, they will run even faster.

Of course, this doesn't mean it's completely useless; some people might be particularly timid.

Moreover, while this serves as a warning to thieves, it can also prevent them from committing further crimes, so it cannot be said to be completely useless.

"Hmm, this is really... interesting." Ningguang smiled as she watched Chen Luo slip away and Keqing Qing chase after him.

"Why are we running?" Shenhe asked, somewhat puzzled.

If a real fight were to break out, my side would be evenly matched with the opponent, so why would I run away?

This is a very strange thing for Shenhe.

"This brings us to a concept: the law. Without rules, there can be no order. So whether you're a Celestial or an ordinary human, there are certain constraints when you walk around Liyue Harbor. Only by better abiding by the rules can you survive better in Liyue Harbor. And there are corresponding rules for behaviors like selling items. Since we didn't abide by the rules, we naturally had to run away."

"This can be considered a kind of experience. At least it tells you that not all problems need to be solved with force. You can also solve them by running away. As long as you run fast enough, the other party won't be able to shift the blame onto you."

"So where do we go next? Getting arrested while setting up a stall feels strangely familiar," the Herrscher of Knowledge sighed and said.

"Where to now? Isn't it obvious? Of course, we're going back. Anyway, Keqing is after us now, so if we go back, we'll just miss Keqing pursuit. That's what you call the most dangerous place being the safest." Chen Luo said quite smugly.

However, the truth is that when Chen Luo rushed back to his stall, he saw Ke Keqing waiting there.

However, it seemed that the other party was not waiting for Chen Luo, but rather examining the Geo Archon puppet that Chen Luo had left behind.

However, after Chen Luo arrived nearby, Keqing's subordinate kindly pointed out Chen Luo's location to Keqing, and Chen Luo started running again.

"Ahem, generally speaking, the most dangerous place is the safest, that's true, but there's another possibility: the other side might anticipate your prediction," Chen Luo warned Shenhe.

Shenhe, not understanding what was going on.

"But don't panic. If I'm not mistaken, we'll go back in 5 minutes. Keqing will definitely be gone by then. I guarantee it this time!" Chen Luo said confidently.

Then... Chen Luo was caught Keqing again.

Fortunately, Chen Luo and the others ran fast.

"..." Chen Luo fell into deep thought.

Is Keqing doing nothing? Today is the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony, why aren't you busy with important matters and keep grabbing me?

"A Luo, are you alright? Do you need me to deal with that Keqing?" Shenhe asked with concern as he looked at Chen Luo, who was deep in thought.

"Alright, let's ignore him. He's just overthinking things. Besides, he clearly has the ability but doesn't use it, insisting on playing mind games, even though it's not his forte," the Herrscher of Knowledge said with a smile.

After all, this isn't anything too important. If something really big were to happen, the first one to step up and give the other side a huge scare would definitely be the Herrscher of Knowledge. But... nothing happened.

"But then another problem arises: where do we go next?" The Herrscher of Knowledge began to ponder this question.

"Let's go to the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony," Chen Luo, who was deep in thought, suddenly changed his mind and said.

"Huh? No way, you're going again? And then you'll have Keqing chase after you? What's wrong with you two? One likes chasing people, and the other likes being chased?" The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Chen Luo with a puzzled expression.

"No, we're not going to set up a stall this time, we're going to make a wish. I heard that you can make a wish near the venue of the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony at Yujing Terrace. Since we're in Liyue, we can't miss it. I'm even thinking of wishing for some remnants of the Archon's Remains. Maybe I can use them to make drinks..." Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo was still very curious about this matter.

Although it sounds a bit strange to go to a place where someone has appeared to you and make a wish for some of their remains.

Chen Luo knew that the other party's Archon's Remains might not be edible, and might just be some kind of special creation, but the problem was that Chen Luo was really curious.

"The 'Dharma Body' refers to the remains of an immortal after death; before death, an immortal's body is called the Dharma Body'," Shenhe reminded him.

"Hmm, you're right." Chen Luo nodded, not telling the other party the fact that "Geo Archon" was about to kick the bucket.

Chapter 323 Chen Luo happily acquires the Jade Chamber

"Rex Lapis, please bless Rex Lapis, please bless me to get a perfect 10-pull! Please bless me to obtain some of the remnants of the Geo Archon! Please bless me to receive many, many easy and rewarding quests! I'm not picky, I just want to fulfill one of these three wishes!" Chen Luo stood in front of the wishing furnace and made a very devout wish.

Hmm, what if you can't get any wishes?

Chen Luo secretly came to Yujing Terrace tonight and smashed the furnace.

Liyue does not tolerate idleness!

What use are you if you can't even fulfill your wishes?

However, perhaps these wishing furnaces will be recycled after the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony.

Let me do a 10-pull first!

It's been a long time since I've done a gacha pull, so I'll take this opportunity to do a 10-pull while I'm making a wish here.

Not many, just 10 pulls will do.

Chen Luo wasn't too picky. Although he had just wished for 10 consecutive brilliant results, he was willing to get a gold one too.

At least the two five-star items Chen Luo has obtained through gacha so far—a bar and a Teleport Anchor —have both been incredibly profitable for Chen Luo.

This shows that there is a chance to get Talent Pendant from a 5-star character drawn from the gacha pool.

Talent Pendant are much rarer than five-star ones.

Chen Luo is very restrained when it comes to gacha pulls; he says he'll only do one 10-pull, and he means it.

"Oh, here it comes..." Chen Luo stared wide-eyed at the card draw interface on the talent panel.

A flash of purple light shattered Chen Luo's dream of a perfect 10-game winning streak...

"Tsk, if I don't get the Archon's Remains or encounter a large reward today, I'll smash this broken furnace tonight." Chen Luo kicked the Wishing Furnace in annoyance.

Indeed, feudal superstition can kill people.

"Hmm, let me see what this 4-star item is again."

Although Chen Luo was disappointed, a four-star item was indeed quite good, considering that Chen Luo current Vision was originally four-star and had now become five-star.

Let's also consider Chen Luo's other 4-star item - the Insanely Modified Thermobaric Bomb.

It really benefited Chen Luo a lot.

The Armed Puppet Pet Egg was also a four-star item, but it still ended up giving Chen Luo a little angel named Sirin. So don't look down on four-star items.

Even in Genshin Impact, there are four-star items that are considered true gods, such as the Sacrificial Sword.

"Oh, the Jade Chamber... Hmm, wait, what is this?" Just as Chen Luo was about to close the card-drawing interface, Chen Luo caught a glimpse of something rather outrageous.

"Holy crap, the Jade Chamber? This thing is a 4-star item?" When Chen Luo confirmed the 4-star item again, Chen Luo was stunned.

From a purely rational perspective, while the Jade Chamber can float, it certainly cannot reach the level of Chen Luo's Elemental Eye. That Elemental Eye is on the same level as the Gnosis, and it can also permanently enhance the user's cultivation. The buff is an autonomous magic cultivation device.

The level of the Jade Chamber is the kind that can be bought with Mora.

Although it's difficult, it's actually possible to buy it.

Therefore, from a generally rational perspective, it wouldn't be too difficult to accept if it were rated as a three-star item, since floating islands are probably quite common in other worlds.

However, when Chen Luo drew a prize from the Jade Chamber at the Yujing Terrace, he was completely Muggle.

Are you there? Morax, can you explain this?

Why was the Jade Chamber chosen?

And why is this thing rated so high?

Could it be that the Jade Chamber is some kind of one-time, devastating strategic weapon?

Despite his complaints, Chen Luo still had a lot of faith in the item tiers on the talent panel.

It seems that Chen Luo has no use for these Jade Chamber, since Chen Luo doesn't dare to take out the floating island in the main world.

"Hehe, so you're here." Ningguang's voice sounded from behind Chen Luo.

Chen Luo turned his head and saw Ningguang, accompanied by her secretary, walking towards him.

"Haha, it's Ningguang. Where's Keqing? Has she arrived yet?" Chen Luo asked casually when he saw Ningguang.

"Don't worry, Keqing is still searching for you all over the world. She probably won't come to the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony at this time. But are you also interested in making a wish?" Ningguang looked at Chen Luo with some curiosity.

Do Immortal Sect Disciple also place their wishes on the ethereal spirit of the Geo Archon?

For ordinary people, this is normal, since it's just to satisfy psychological expectations.

"... I suddenly realized that the Geo Archon has really manifested, and it seems that part of my wish has been fulfilled." Chen Luo stared blankly at Ningguang.

Chen Luo suddenly realized that although the Jade Chamber was useless to Chen Luo could sell it to Ningguang.

Although Ningguang may not be in dire need of the Jade Chamber right now, once Ningguang sinks the Jade Chamber, Chen Luo can sell it to her.

However, even if Ningguang's Jade Chamber hadn't sunk, Ningguang might still want the Jade Chamber, since combining two Jade Chamber might summon a giant Jade Chamber.

If we get another Jade Chamber, we can synthesize a two- Jade Chamber.

It's uncertain whether the Jade Chamber can be sunk. Although Ningguang sank the Jade Chamber in the story, Chen Luo is not sure if he will receive a commission similar to killing the Vortex Demon God.

So the question is, is it more important to defeat the Vortex Archon, or to make Ningguang lose the Jade Chamber?

Chen Luo fell into deep thought.
