Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Chapter 371 The Morning the Tanuki Wakes Up

Xu Ning spread his Wind Wings, carrying the little fox Yae, and flew towards the mountaintop shrine. He looked down at the Yae priestess in his arms and asked with a smile, "Are you nervous?"

Yae no Miko yawned softly, "I've been waiting for so long, my heart has already grown cold, how could I be nervous?"

Although the little fox spoke nonchalantly, her restless, swaying tail betrayed her excitement.

Xu Ning smiled and didn't say anything more.

The banquet in the cave had ended. Apart from Inashiro Hotaru and Kano Nana carefully cleaning up the mess and taking the half-drunk Hayato back to rest, the others were all drunk and fast asleep on the ground.

Xu Ning arranged rooms for Yae no Miko and Mikoto Chiyo, and casually tossed Qingyi into her own room as well.

Finally, there was only one Wind God who was slacking off. Xu Ning picked Him up, chose a thick and sturdy pillar, and tied a long rope tightly to it.

Back in Ningguang's room, he found a piece of paper, wrote four crooked characters on it: "No alcohol for two days," and slapped it onto Ningguang's forehead.

Having finished all this, Xu Ning sat back down at the wine pool and continued to ponder the special effects issue.

The next day, Xu Ning stood in front of a pile of large wine vats and smiled at the stone statue of Wu Baizang, saying, "Wu Baizang, the time has come. Are you ready to come out and see your old friend?"

Wu Baizang remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a heavy hum as a sign of agreement.

Xu Ning wiped his brow with his hand, creating a clone of his divine soul.

This clone is entirely made of alcohol element as its body, but if you look closely with elemental vision, you can faintly see a rock element particle in the center of the chest of this alcohol element body.

Only one!

This is the experimental method that Xu Ning came up with after thinking about it all night.

While ensuring dazzling special effects, I also completed the construction of my Geo form.

Because he possessed the Divine Eye of Wine, Xu Ning had never considered constructing a Wine Elemental Body. However, this time, to prevent the Rock Elemental Particle from falling to his feet, he specially filled the shadow of the body constructed by his divine soul.

As for the several large wine vats next to it, filled with Thousand Winds Wine, they were used by Xu Ning to replenish the vitality of the little fox demons who had been trapped for many years.

The alcoholic elemental body, wrapped in rock elemental particles, followed Xu Ning closely, walking step by step to Wu Baizang's side.

"Actually, I will not break the seal."

Xu Ning looked completely honest. “But I will use my magic artifact, the Dust Concealment Gourd, to connect the seal on your body with my elemental body, transferring the seal layer by layer to it. This will also achieve the effect of unsealing.”

"And what about it? Will it turn into a stone statue? If so, you don't have many elemental bodies to unseal our clan, do you?" Wu Baizang seemed unwilling to accept too many favors, and asked in a muffled voice.

Xu Ning laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. Your seal has been in place for so many years, it shouldn't be stronger than my elemental body. Maybe it can even give me a surprise. Alright, don't overthink it, calm your mind, I'm about to begin."

Xu Ning communicated with the Heart of the Rock God within the Hidden Cave, transforming the rock layers surrounding the Five Hundred Hidden Body into pure rock element, which was then transferred to the rock particles within the wine elemental body.

It sounds complicated, but in the eyes of the little raccoons around, they could see that Wu Baizang was surrounded by a faint golden light unique to rock elements. As the golden light flashed and disappeared, a layer of rock around Wu Baizang disappeared, and then the rock particles in that elemental body would grow larger.

Master Ji's eyes welled up with tears of excitement. "Everyone is coming out."

When the seal on Wu Baizang was completely broken, he stood in front of Xu Ning, holding a small raccoon dog lying in his arms. Xu Ning couldn't help but take a sip of wine and exclaim in amazement.

"Holy crap, what kind of oppressive force are you exerting?!"

This thing is called a raccoon dog. I'm not even as thick as one of its legs standing here!

Xu Ning stood on tiptoe and raised his hand to fill a large empty bowl held by Wu Baizang with "Qianfeng" wine.

"Drink a bowl first to regain your strength, then move around a bit and see if you feel any discomfort. I'll continue to unseal the other little raccoons."

Ichizoku downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp. “Hmm? Humans have started drinking this kind of wine now? That’s good. It seems that waiting a few hundred years won’t be without its benefits.”

After taking a sip of wine, Gobaizang felt as if his stomach and intestines had relaxed, and his whole body seemed to be shouting, "I want more!"

He handed the small raccoon dog statue he was holding to Xu Ning, saying, "You take care of this first, and we'll have some more to drink."

Wu Baizang carried the empty bowl to the water vat, preparing to scoop out another bowl.

The monk Ji, Zhengcheng, and the clerk from the Ministry of Justice rushed over and started rubbing against Wu Baizang's legs, whimpering.

Wu Baizang chuckled as he patted and stroked this one and that one, laughing, "You've all grown up, stop crying like little raccoons. Let me serve you some to drink too. This tastes almost as good as the raccoon rice I make myself."

Master Ji looked up, his eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Xu Ning said that the wine in these jars is for his companions who have just woken up."

Xu Ning, who was unsealing two little fox demons riding together, laughed and said, "Drink as much as you want, as long as it doesn't interfere with tomorrow's business, you can have as much as you want!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Baizang scooped out a large bowl from the jar. Instead of drinking it himself, he picked up the little fox demons that Xu Ning had awakened and fed them wine one by one. Only after seeing them hopping around and looking for wine to drink from the jar did he feel relieved.

After Xu Ning broke several seals, the rock particles inside the wine element clone had shrunk to the size of chicken eggs.

Xu Ning kept working, but his eyes were constantly watching the changes in the round stone. He thought to himself that even if it continued to grow bigger, it would still just be a large piece of high-purity rock. How could he make a rock move flexibly?

Should we add some slime condensate, or move it back to Liyue and ask the Emperor to give it a makeover?

Lost in thought, Xu Ning suddenly thought of the legend of the Rock King Emperor. It is said that He once appeared in front of people in the form of half-scale and half-human. If His body was made entirely of fine scales, would He be more agile?

Xu Ning used the round stone as his heart, and then gradually attached the fine scales formed by rock elements to it, creating a dense skeleton that resembled a full-body plate armor. He then covered it with fine and orderly scales, and even his short hair was made of fine scales.

The seals on the tanuki have all been lifted, and now they are all sticking out their chubby little butts and crowding around the jar to grab a drink. Wu Baizang and Ji Fashi are watching over them to make sure they don't fall in while jostling each other.

Xu Ning is now focused on filling the gaps in the rock element body. After adding a mask to the rock element body by imitating the "Immovable Mystic Stone Appearance" on the panel, the entire rock element body is basically formed.

Xu Ning focused on manipulating his soul's rock elemental body and moved it around a couple of times, accidentally shaking off a few tanuki that were licking wine off his lap.

"You guys are quite clever."

However, as the rock element within his body gradually increased, it squeezed out the excess wine from the body of his soul, causing it to flow down.

Several raccoon cats that couldn't get any wine simply lay down at the rock elemental's feet and licked the extra wine. Xu Ning had kicked a few of them away when he wasn't paying attention, causing a few sharp screams.

"Speaking of which, Xu Ning, you have always taken good care of us and even gave us such delicious wine. We really don't know how to thank you enough."

The tanuki have a low alcohol tolerance, and many of the younger ones were already quite drunk. Gosho had drunk even more, and his tongue was swollen.

Xu Ning waved his hand and smiled, "No need for thanks, I'll need your help later..."

Before Xu Ning could finish speaking, Master Ji and the three tanuki from Zhengcheng started shouting.

"We know how to thank him..."
