Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 339: Cleansing Flower

"What's the name of the medicinal herb..." Yun Ge walked slowly with the old horse. After hearing Ying Mei's question, she pondered for a moment and then asked, "Have you heard of the Demon God of Dust, Hagentus?"

"Hagantus, the Demon God of Dust?" Paimon tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I've never heard of him."

Ying also shook her head, "What does this have to do with the herbs we are looking for?"

Yun Ge explained, "Legend has it that after the death of the Demon Goddess of Dust, her power turned into a medicinal herb called 'Purifying Dust Flower'. The petals of this flower are as white as snow, and there are light golden lines on the stamens. It has the effect of removing evil spirits and purifying the blood. I guess that the strange diseases of those patients in the village are caused by evil spirits entering their bodies, and only the 'Purifying Dust Flower' can save them."

"Then where is this 'Purifying Flower'?" Paimeng asked.

Yun Ge looked at the deep valley ahead. "According to ancient records, the place where the Demon God of Dust fell may have the 'Purifying Dust Flower' growing. And Guiliyuan was once one of the battlefields of the Demon God War. I think we may be able to find clues here."

The three continued forward and entered the valley.

The valley was filled with fog, and occasionally there were some strange roars of beasts.

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the bushes nearby and rushed towards Yun Ge.

Ying reacted quickly, raised her sword and swung it, repelling the black shadow.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a demon wolf with a pitch-black body and blood-red eyes.

The demon wolf failed in its attack and howled towards the sky. Many pairs of blood-red eyes appeared all around.

"Oh no, it's a pack of wolves!" Paimon exclaimed.

Ying looked solemn and quickly protected Yun Ge and Paimeng behind him.

"Don't move here, I'll deal with them." She whispered to Yun Ge and Paimeng.

As soon as he finished speaking, the wolves came like a tide, with their fangs bared and claws bared, and the smell of blood wafted into the air.

Ying, however, remained calm, the sword in her hand flashing coldly in the sunlight. She moved as fast as lightning and rushed into the wolf pack first.

The sword flashed, and every swing took the life of a demon wolf.

Ying's swordsmanship was precise and ruthless, and every strike was aimed directly at the vital points. Although the wolves were ferocious, they were like paper under her sword.

However, the wolves seemed endless, killing one wave after another.

Seeing that it was too strenuous to eliminate the wolves with swordsmanship alone, Ying began to use elemental power.

"Wind Blade!"

"Desolate Star!"

"Thunder Shadow Sword!"

The power of the three elements of wind, rock and thunder intertwined in the air to form deadly attacks, cutting the wolf pack into pieces.

The magic wolves in the pack were unable to withstand the sudden elemental storm and fell to the ground one after another.

The surrounding valleys were also turned upside down by Ying's powerful elemental force. Rocks collapsed, winds howled, thunder roared, and the entire valley seemed to be shaking in this battle.

Yun Ge was stunned watching from the side. She had never seen such a fierce battle and had never expected that Ying, a seemingly weak girl, could have such powerful strength.

She was still tightly holding a ball of medicine powder in her hand, as if she was ready to throw it out when necessary to provide support to Ying, but Ying's strength was far beyond her imagination, and she didn't need to help at all.

Finally, under Ying's powerful elemental attack, the wolves gradually retreated, leaving only wolf corpses and a bloody smell on the ground.

Ying retracted her elemental power and breathed slightly.

"Huh...finally solved." Ying said.

Paimon flew to Ying and said with concern: "Ying, are you okay?"

Ying shook her head. "I'm fine. I just used up some energy. I just need to rest for a while."

Yun Ge stepped forward and said with admiration: "Miss Ying, you are so amazing! If it weren't for you, we would be in danger."

Ying smiled and said, "It's okay, let's continue looking for the dust-cleansing flower."

The three continued searching in the valley, and finally found a white flower emitting a faint glow on the edge of a cliff.

"That should be the legendary Jingchen Flower!" Yun Ge said excitedly.

However, the location where the Jingchen Flower grows is extremely dangerous, and it is not easy to pick it.

Ying looked at the cliff, then looked at the surrounding environment, and then said to Yun Ge: "Doctor Yun Ge, wait here, I will go down to help you pick it."

"No need. I'm already very grateful to you for protecting me here. I'd better go down and pick them myself. I have the tools and experience to pick herbs." Yun Ge said.

Ying shook her head. "It's too dangerous. I'll go. Even if there's an accident, I have the ability to deal with it."

Yun Ge wanted to say something but was interrupted by Paimeng.

"Doctor Yun Ge, don't argue. Let Ying go. I believe she will succeed!" Paimeng said, waving his little hand.

Seeing the two people insisting so much, Yun Ge nodded and said with a worried look on his face: "Okay, Miss Ying, it's just too dangerous there, you must be careful."

Ying nodded, and after taking the herb-collecting tools that Yun Ge handed to her, she leaped lightly onto the cliff, using the protrusions and cracks on the rocks, and like a nimble mountain goat, she gradually descended to the place where the Jingchen flowers grew.

Looking at the Jingchen flower that was emitting a mysterious glow, Ying carefully reached out her hand and prepared to pick it gently.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew, Ying's body swayed, her feet slipped and she fell backwards.

“Miss Ying!!” Yun Ge’s pupils shrank and he shouted in horror.

"Ying, be careful!" Paimeng also spoke hurriedly.

Although she was about to fall off the cliff, Ying did not panic. She tried hard to steady her body, quickly spread her wings of wind, and slowly ascended with the power of the wind.

"Phew~ Fortunately, fortunately, I was scared to death!" Yun Ge was a little scared. If Miss Ying had an accident because of helping her pick the Jingchen Flowers, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

Paimon was also shocked, but she knew Ying's strength, so she didn't worry too much at the beginning. Now that she saw that Ying was safe and sound, she showed an "I knew it" expression and looked proud.

As expected, it’s Ying!

The wings of wind flapped, and Ying steadied her body. She looked back at Yun Ge and Paimon and gave a reassuring smile.

Then, she refocused her attention on the Cleansing Dust Flower, gently plucked it from the crevice of the rock, and carefully placed it in the special medicine basket Yun Ge had given her.

At this moment, with the picking of the Jingchen flowers, the whole valley seemed to brighten up, as if a fresh breath was spreading.

At the same time, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded, as if the picking of the Jingchen Flower had triggered some mechanism.

Ying's heart moved, and she quickly used the power of the Wind Wings to fly to the top of the cliff and meet up with Yun Ge and Paimon.

"What's going on?" Yun Ge was confused. She looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

Ying, who had gone through many adventures and had rich experience, immediately became alert. Could it be that some kind of protective mechanism in the valley had been activated?
