• Sucrose eagerly asked about the Blossoms of Revelation, and Amber offered to take her and Li Qiuzhi to see them.

Amber, Li Qiuzhi, and Sucrose reached a Blossom of Revelation, where Amber activated it and drew in Pyro Slimes. The group fought back, but the slimes’ elemental immunity limited the damage Li Qiuzhi and Amber could deal.

Li Qiuzhi collected the Elemental Potions Sucrose had brewed and arranged to bring her monster bones and rare materials in exchange for future potions.
