Jiang Xuan stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then softly said, "The black flame should represent your karmic debt."
"As for the weathered stone, Gan Yu seemed to mention to me that immortals who have lived for a long time in the Teyvat world suffer from erosionā¦"
Xiao's face darkened, and he looked at Zhongli with some worry.
He wasn't worried about his own karmic debt, but Zhongli's erosionā¦
Xiao couldn't accept that.
Zhongli's erosion was already deep, Xiao had thought about this possibility, but he didn't dare to believe it.
No one understood what erosion meant more than the immortals.
Azhdaha was still under the Dragon-Queller Treeā¦
He wasn't afraid of dying, but he was afraid of something happening to Zhongli.
"Xiao, look again at your negative status effects. Is there a timer below them?"
Xiao immediately turned to look at Zhongli, who shook his head slightly.
Xiao immediately said anxiously, "Mr. Jiang Xuan, there's no timerā¦"
"Is that soā¦"
Jiang Xuan frowned slightly and sighed, "That's a bit troublesomeā¦"
Ningguang seemed to see something and also became serious.
"Jiang Xuan, can it be resolved? Are there any effects?"
Jiang Xuan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"In this world, all general negative status effects, even withering, have a time limit."
"But if there's no time limit, that means it's a difficult effect to resolve."
"There are many alchemical potions in this world, and I can make them too. There are even potions that can instantly restore a person on the verge of death to full health."
"But the potion you need to remove negative effectsā¦ I really can't make it right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao's face became somewhat dim, but he still pleaded, "Mr. Jiang Xuan, please, the karmic debt doesn't matter, but the erosion, please help me think of a wayā¦"
Jiang Xuan quietly glanced at Zhongli, who was clearly somewhat gratified.
But he still turned his head and pretended to look calmly at the surrounding environment.
"Don't worry," Jiang Xuan waved his hand. "Although it's a bit troublesome, given the magical nature of this world, it shouldn't be impossible to solve."
"Milk can remove all poisons. If that doesn't work, we can try using an enchanted golden apple."
"In theory, any negative status effect will be removed after eating an enchanted golden apple."
"If even an enchanted golden apple doesn't work, then when we unlock new mods in the future, there will definitely be ways to solve it."
As he spoke, Jiang Xuan took out a bucket of milk and handed it to Xiao.
"Try this first, but don't put too much faith in the milk."
Looking at such a large bucket of milk, Xiao's expression was a little strange.
Subconsciously, he still wanted to give it to Zhongli first.
But thinking that Jiang Xuan and Ningguang were watching, Xiao was silent for a moment, then softly said, "Mr. Jiang Xuan, I can't drink this much alone. Is there a cup? I'll share some with Mr. Zhongli... and Miss Ningguang."
Ningguang seemed to have confirmed something, and shook her head with a smile.
"I don't need any. There are cows over there. If I want to drink some, I can go get it. Xiao and Mr. Zhongli can share it."
Hearing this, Xiao immediately turned around and handed the milk bucket to Zhongli.
"Mr. Zhongli, you try it first!"
His impatient appearance made Jiang Xuan sigh with some embarrassment.
Xiao really wasn't suited to actingā¦
He wished that everyone would confirm Zhongli's identity.
Zhongli also seemed to sigh, took the milk bucket and drank a few mouthfuls, then returned it to Xiao.
"Mr. Zhongli, how is it?"
Xiao looked at Zhongli with some worry.
The latter quietly glanced at his unchanged personal panel and softly said, "The taste is good, very delicious. If sold, it should fetch a good price."
Xiao was stunned for a moment, unwilling to give up, and said, "Is that all?"
Zhongli's voice was slightly heavier, as if reminding him.
"Of course, after all, I'm not poisoned or anything, so I can't feel any effect."
Xiao's face was a little embarrassed. He picked up the milk bucket and drank it all in one gulp.
"How is it?"
Although Jiang Xuan had guessed the result, he still asked.
Xiao shook his head.
"Nothingā¦ it's still the same, but, I don't know if it's just psychological, but after drinking the milk, I really feel a lot more relaxed."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan nodded with a smile.
"That's normal, milk detoxifies. You've been fighting for many years, so there will naturally be some toxins in your body. They should all be eliminated now."
"Butā¦ it didn't work for the karmic debt and erosion, which is a bit of a pity."
Jiang Xuan shook his head, then patted Xiao on the shoulder with a chuckle.
"Don't worry, problems that can't be solved in your world may not be unsolvable in this world. When I have the chance, I'll make some enchanted golden apples for you to try."
"But I think the main problem is the karmic debt. As for the erosionā¦"
Jiang Xuan quietly glanced at Zhongli, hinting, "I personally think that erosion may be a lack of freshness in life due to living too long and seeing too much."
"This is a psychological problem, and the treatment is simple. Just maintain a sense of anticipation for new things and for the mysterious world."
"Erosion can be alleviated, or even eliminated."
"Coincidentally, this world of mine is very fresh to you, and it should be enough to inhibit erosion."
Hearing this, Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang Xuanā¦"
"It's nothing, we're friends after all. I'm still counting on you to help me develop the world."
Jiang Xuan shook his head with a smile and turned back to call out, "Gan Yu, Keqing, come back when you're done. Let's discuss today's work!"
Keqing immediately put down her hoe and walked back quickly, while Gan Yu looked at the sheep pen for a while before slowly returning.
"Jiang Xuan, those sheep are so cuteā¦"
Gan Yu's eyes curved into crescents with a smile, and the bell on her neck jingled crisply.
"The farming I did today was definitely the easiest I've ever done in my life," Keqing said, shaking her head with some emotion. "If the farmers in Liyue could farm this easily, their lives would be easier."
To this, Jiang Xuan could only smile and say that there would be opportunities.
Then, he led the five into the villa together.
At first glance, the others saw that below the stairs on the first floor, there was another set of stairs leading downwards.
"Jiang Xuan, you even built a basement?" Keqing looked at Jiang Xuan with some surprise. The latter nodded and smiled, "That's right. The three floors above are for resting, so we naturally can't put a bunch of furnaces and other work equipment there."
"I built a storage area and a work area below. In the future, you can do small crafting in your own rooms or at the workbenches and furnaces in the living room."
"Large-scale crafting can be done down there."
"Just right, the glass I was firing is done too. I'll go down and get it to finish my last work."
With that, Jiang Xuan led the way down the stairs.
Compared to the luxurious and simple villa living area above, the space below was simply separated into two areas with wood.
Torches were densely packed on the walls, ensuring that no monsters could spawn.
Dozens of furnaces were piled up against one wall.
On the other side, there were boxes filled to the brim.
Jiang Xuan didn't say anything. He went to the furnaces and took out the fired glass.
Then, he briefly introduced that the boxes here were for storing large quantities of minerals.
He turned around and led the group back up.
"Wait for me a momentā¦" Jiang Xuan waved his hand excitedly and quickly walked to an area where nothing had been placed yet.
The ground there was the only area of dirt and gravel.
It seemed that a small rockery had been made.
Taking out the glass, he quickly built a transparent space.
Then, at a speed that Ningguang and the others couldn't understand at all, he planted various aquatic plants.
After doing all this, Jiang Xuan sealed off the surroundings.
Standing on the glass with blocks under his feet, he quickly poured in two buckets of water.
He also poured in two ornamental fish.
A simple aquarium was built in less than five minutesā¦
