Chapter Summaries

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon bought high-quality Noctilucous Jade for the Rite of Parting, then went looking for someone to make perfume from Zhongli’s Silk Flowers. At the Spring Fragrance Kiln, Ying'er agreed to make the perfumes at half price, while teasing Li Qiuzhi about giving them as gifts to Lumine and Fischl.

• Li Qiuzhi and his companions tested three batches of Noctilucous Jade by boiling samples and chose the brightest batch.

• Sister Lan directed Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon to Ying'er at the Spring Fragrance Kiln after Katheryne was too busy to help.
• Ying'er offered to make the perfumes for half price, then teased Li Qiuzhi about giving perfume to Lumine and Fischl.
• Li Qiuzhi admitted he should give the women gifts, and Lumine gained 150 Friendship points after he tried to take her hand.

The group headed to Yujing Terrace to find Madame Ping and borrow the Cleansing Bell, where they spotted her at a tea stall with a pink-haired girl and a little girl.

• Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon finished making three perfumes with Ying'er and returned to Mondstadt, where Fischl gave Li Qiuzhi two Primogems she found at Stormterror's Lair.

• After returning to Liyue Harbor, Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon searched Yujing Terrace and found Madame Ping at a tea stall with a pink-haired girl and a little girl.

Li Qiuzhi and his companions entered Madame Ping’s Serenitea Pot Realm to search for the Cleansing Bell, but encountered Karmic Debt on a floating island. Li Qiuzhi used strengthened Psychic Tentacles to restrain it and destroyed it with a Pyro arrow, earning experience as they continued their search.

• Paimon asked Madame Ping to lend them the Cleansing Bell, and Madame Ping sent Yanfei to guide them into her Serenitea Pot Realm to find it.
• Yanfei led Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon across the floating islands, explaining that she had half-adeptal blood and worked as a Legal Consultant.
• Karmic Debt surrounded the group and clung to Li Qiuzhi’s Anemo shield, so Yanfei warned them not to let it possess them and explained that Elemental Power or Psychic Power could counter it.
• Li Qiuzhi spent 9,999 Experience Points to raise his Concentration Technique to level five and used Psychic Tentacles to capture the Karmic Debt.
• Paimon suggested that Li Qiuzhi fire an arrow through space, and he destroyed the restrained Karmic Debt with a Pyro arrow, earning 20,000 Experience Points.

Li Qiuzhi and the others searched Madame Ping’s teapot abode for the Cleansing Bell, surviving a patch of karmic debt and finding a new Friendship ability along the way. They located a likely bell and Yanfei called to Granny, transporting everyone back outside to confirm it.

• Lumine burned away the karmic debt, and Yanfei led the group across the light bridges to search the floating islands.
• Paimon spotted a chest in a pool, but Lumine stopped Li Qiuzhi from taking it without permission; he later teased Paimon and promised her two feasts.
• Lumine’s Friendship with Li Qiuzhi reached its maximum, granting him Interstellar Travel, which let him place Beacons for communication and consent-based teleportation.
• The group searched a storage island and Lumine found a bell inside a dusty wooden box, though Yanfei was unsure whether it was the Cleansing Bell.
• Yanfei shouted for Granny, and the group was transported out of the teapot abode.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon borrowed the Cleansing Bell from Madame Ping and continued preparing for the Geo Archon’s ceremony. At Bubu Pharmacy, they met Qiqi and Baizhu, learned Qiqi wanted coconut milk rather than a Cocogoat, and discovered that the everlasting incense cost three million Mora.

• Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon returned the Cleansing Bell to Zhongli, who asked them to obtain everlasting incense and wild glaze lilies while he gathered kites and crystalflies.
• Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon went to Bubu Pharmacy and met Qiqi, who asked them to hunt a Cocogoat so she could drink coconut milk.
• Li Qiuzhi explained that coconut milk came from coconuts, and Baizhu arrived and offered to help them buy the incense.
• Baizhu quoted a price of three million Mora for the everlasting incense, shocking Paimon.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon got Childe to pay for Everlasting Incense before returning to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, where they met Hu Tao and invited her to help search for wild Glaze Lilies. Hu Tao suggested Wuwang Hill, but Paimon and Li Qiuzhi balked at its ghosts, leaving Lumine to insist that the group search there themselves.

• Childe bought the Everlasting Incense for the group and learned from Ekaterina that the Qixing had requisitioned the Golden House.
• Li Qiuzhi and the others returned to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, met Hu Tao, and invited her to lunch after learning Zhongli was away.
• Hu Tao joined the group to search for wild Glaze Lilies and gained Friendship with Li Qiuzhi after their meal at Wanmin Restaurant.
• Hu Tao suggested searching Wuwang Hill, explaining that few people visited because ghosts and spirits appeared there.
• Paimon and Li Qiuzhi resisted going to Wuwang Hill, but Lumine rejected their idea of hiring adventurers and decided the group would search themselves.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Hu Tao, and Paimon traveled to Wuwang Hill to search for Glaze Lilies, using a Teleport Waypoint to reach Stone Gate quickly. After Hu Tao's ghost defeated a Green-Eyed Raven, a swarm of attackers appeared and rained green fireballs down on them.

• Hu Tao began to explain her ghost's ability, but she warned everyone as a black mass flew toward them and green fireballs rained down.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Hu Tao fought a seemingly endless flock of green-eyed crows on Wuwang Hill while Paimon searched for a way to escape. As their strength dwindled, Li Qiuzhi revealed a ball of golden light as the basis for his plan to draw the crows away.

• Li Qiuzhi shielded the group from the crows' green fireballs while Hu Tao, Lumine, and Li Qiuzhi attacked the flock.
• The group fought for more than twenty minutes, but the crows remained numerous and their corpses vanished into black gas.
• Lumine suggested retreating under Li Qiuzhi's Form Concealment, but he explained that they needed the crows to stop attacking briefly to escape safely.
• Lumine offered to lure the crows away, but Paimon and Hu Tao warned that her improvised Anemo shield would be too fragile.
• Li Qiuzhi stopped attacking and produced a ball of golden light, saying he had thought of a way to lure the crows away.

Li Qiuzhi created Beacons that let Lumine, Paimon, and Hu Tao communicate with him and teleport to his location, giving them a way to escape the green-eyed crows. They fled the crows’ fireball barrage and hid nearby while the birds searched the woods.

• Li Qiuzhi explained that his Beacons let others sense his location, communicate with him, and teleport to him, then gave Hu Tao permission to use one.
• Hu Tao tested the Beacon’s mental communication and teleportation, and Li Qiuzhi gave Beacons to Lumine and Paimon as well.
• After they practiced teleporting, Li Qiuzhi turned invisible and dashed through a gap in the Anemo shield while Lumine and Hu Tao blocked the crows’ fireballs.
• As the shield collapsed, Lumine, Paimon, and Hu Tao teleported to Li Qiuzhi, escaping the green fireballs and becoming invisible beside him.
• The green-eyed crows searched the woods while Li Qiuzhi and the others hid nearby, and Hu Tao gained 280 Friendship points.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Hu Tao, and Paimon searched Wuwang Hill for a Glaze Lily while discussing the green-eyed crows and a possible Domain. Hu Tao’s Hilichurl Ballad made the Glaze Lily begin to bloom, leaving them poised to collect it for the Rite of Parting.

• Li Qiuzhi proposed following the green-eyed crows to find their Domain, but Lumine and Hu Tao urged him to find the Glaze Lily first.
• Li Qiuzhi and the others reached the area near Qingce Village and searched until Lumine found a wild Glaze Lily.
• Hu Tao said the Glaze Lily had not bloomed and suggested waiting until night, so the group ate dinner while they waited.
• Li Qiuzhi suggested that singing might help the Glaze Lily bloom, and Hu Tao volunteered to sing.
• Hu Tao sang her Hilichurl Ballad, and the Glaze Lily trembled before slowly opening.

After collecting the Glaze Lily, Li Qiuzhi and Hu Tao returned to investigate the green-eyed crows while Lumine and Paimon went to Qingce Village. As they waited for the crows to leave for their nest, Li Qiuzhi spent Experience Points to raise his level to 60.

• Lumine carefully uprooted the Glaze Lily with Geo energy, and Li Qiuzhi reminded her to store it in the Burdened Space.

• Li Qiuzhi spent 54,500 Experience Points and raised his level from 50 to 60.

After reaching level sixty, Li Qiuzhi chose Millennial Body and discovered that Harmonization now shared negative effects among him and the women he had been intimate with. He and Hu Tao followed the Green-Eyed Ravens to a small spatial rift, which Li Qiuzhi recognized as a source of Abyssal Rift Crows.

• Li Qiuzhi and Hu Tao found a small spatial rift surrounded by ravens, and Li Qiuzhi realized the birds had come from the Abyssal Rift.

Li Qiuzhi chose Spirit Descent and used it to control his golden Lumine sword-intent phantom, letting it attack the Green-Eyed Ravens at the spatial rift while he and Hu Tao stayed invisible. After the phantom slaughtered the ravens, a psychic blast from the rift destroyed it, and Li Qiuzhi fled with Hu Tao after glimpsing golden pupils beyond the tear.

• Li Qiuzhi raised Concentration Technique to its maximum level and chose Spirit Descent, which could control an unresisting vessel capable of housing consciousness.
• Li Qiuzhi discovered he could enter and control his golden Lumine sword-intent phantom, and Hu Tao joined him as they approached the rift invisibly.
• Li Qiuzhi sent the phantom to attack the Green-Eyed Ravens, whose fireballs passed harmlessly through it as it cut them down with sword energy.
• After half an hour, the ravens tried to flee, but Li Qiuzhi pursued them with the phantom.
• A psychic blast from the rift scattered the phantom, and Li Qiuzhi glimpsed golden pupils before warning Hu Tao to run with him.

Li Qiuzhi and Hu Tao returned to Lumine after fleeing a powerful enemy near the Abyssal Rift, then traveled to Liyue to deliver the Eternal Incense and Glaze Lilies to Zhongli. With the Rite of Parting set to begin the next day, Li Qiuzhi and Lumine returned to Mondstadt.

• Lumine and Paimon found the Teleport Waypoint in Qingce Village after helping an old woman bring in her cured meat.

• Hu Tao reminded Li Qiuzhi and Lumine to attend the Rite of Parting the next day, and they teleported back to Mondstadt.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Fischl shared an intimate morning before Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon went to Liyue Harbor for the Rite of Parting. Keqing revealed that the Millelith were searching for the missing Fatui Harbinger Childe, leaving Li Qiuzhi concerned about what he planned to do.

• Lumine stayed in bed with Li Qiuzhi, and Fischl joined them, jealous that they had been sleeping together without her.

• Childe used his Delusion to break free, and Li Qiuzhi hurled him into a wall.
• Childe donned a mask, chose Li Qiuzhi as his first target, and struck his Anemo barrier, which held against the blow.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Keqing fought Tartaglia as he unleashed the full power of his Delusion and began activating Foul Legacy. Tartaglia blasted them back just as they tried to interrupt him, leaving his transformation underway.

• Tartaglia intensified his lightning attack, and Li Qiuzhi used Psychic Tentacles and Lumine’s Sword Intent to strike him from two directions.

• Childe entered his Foul Legacy form, rose to level eighty-two, and attacked Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Keqing with a weapon wielding both Electro and Hydro.
