Genshin x Minecraft: Building the Temple of Virtue

Albedo’s laboratory was located just a few thousand meters from Ryen’s small courtyard, at the foot of Tianheng Mountain.

The Tianheng Mountain base was guarded by the Qianyan Army, making the area quiet and suitable for Albedo to fully dedicate himself to his research.

When the group arrived, Albedo was tinkering with all sorts of strange instruments.

The room wasn’t nearly as messy as Lisa’s alchemy workshop. On the contrary, everything was neatly arranged.

In the corner of the room, there was an easel holding a half-finished illustration. It seemed Albedo had some leisure to paint.

Ryen glanced at Lisa with a knowing look.

Lisa, unhappy, glared at Ryen.

”That look is very rude!”

Ryen laughed awkwardly and walked over to Albedo with the group.

”Mr. Ryen, you’ve arrived,” Albedo said, clearly in a good mood, nodding with a light smile.

”Are you comfortable conducting your research here?”

Ryen replied casually, and Albedo softly said:

”For an alchemist, as long as there is a suitable and quiet workshop, one can adapt anywhere.”

”That’s good,” Ryen said with a light laugh.

”What did you call us here for?”

Albedo’s smile faded slightly.

”Two things. First…”

”The improved elemental alchemy potions I’ve been working on have been successful.”

”I added some materials unique to Teyvat and re-smelted them using Teyvat’s alchemical methods.”

”Currently, there are seven major elemental enhancement potions. I’ve tested them—they can increase elemental strength by about thirty-five percent.”

”There are also seven types of elemental resistance potions. While they can’t reach the level of the enchanted Golden Apple from that world—which could even grant immunity to lava—they can weaken elemental damage by roughly fifty percent.”

”In addition, based on strength potions, I’ve also developed potions that provide separate protective effects. After drinking them, physical damage is reduced by thirty percent.”

”Moreover, I’ve made some progress with enchanting weapons. By using alchemy, we can add Teyvat-specific elemental ore to weapons. Currently, we can also apply a lightning-element effect, but the duration is very short. Even at full power, it lasts only about ten minutes.”

The group was somewhat surprised.

”Just ten minutes, and you’ve developed all this?”

Ryen glanced again at Lisa, who glared back at him, clearly annoyed.

Albedo waved his hand and said softly:

”I haven’t done anything extraordinary. These potions and enchanted weapons involve the power of the laws themselves, which I cannot modify.

I’ve merely fused and modified some materials using my methods.”

”Additionally, materials from that world, such as the Blaze Rod or Soul Tear, can further increase the strength of Teyvat’s original potions.”

Albedo spoke modestly, but this wasn’t as simple as he made it sound. Otherwise, Lisa wouldn’t have struggled to make progress all this time.

It’s worth noting that Lisa’s alchemy skills were among the top in Teyvat.

But Albedo…

He was truly an alchemy master beyond imagination.

”How about the cost of these? Can they be mass-produced?”

Keqing asked the most pressing question.

Albedo thought for a moment and shook his head.

”The cost isn’t high. Materials and alchemical reagents from Mr. Ryen’s world don’t require any cost. It’s only the materials from our world that need to be purchased.

On average, it’s about 300,000 Mora.”

”As for mass production…”

Albedo paused, shaking his head.

”These require skilled alchemists to smelt through proper alchemy. With just me…

Even if I don’t eat or sleep for a day and have enough materials, I can only make about ten bottles of each type.”

Even so, this quantity wasn’t small.

After all, Albedo had developed over a dozen different types of potions.

Ningguang thought for a moment and softly asked:

”What if we gather some experienced alchemists and you train them?”

Albedo seriously considered this, nodding.

”In that case, it should be fine, though production still won’t be very high.”

”Low production is fine—it works well for scarcity marketing. That’s enough,” Ningguang said softly.

”And the second matter?”

Albedo pointed to a large box beside the table.

”The materials you sent before have mostly been used up.”

Ryen waved his hand.

”No problem. Recently, the Qianyan Army has been exploring the world, so no one delivered them. Tomorrow, you can come with us to get more from that world.

By the way, you’ve been here so long but haven’t really gone to my world to take a look.”

Albedo smiled softly.

”That world is fascinating, but for me, research is still more important.”

”You can research in that world as well, and directly observe its conditions. You’ll get a feel for the unique laws there.”

After Ryen’s repeated persuasion, Albedo nodded.

”Very well, I’ll go with you tomorrow. It will be a good break.

But since you’re inviting me, Ryen, is there something special in that world that needs my study?”

Ryen chuckled.

”Yes, there is indeed something very important. Conveniently, we’ve also brought some with us.

A new module has recently been opened, containing many strange things—some that probably shouldn’t exist in any world. You’ll definitely be interested.”

Albedo immediately perked up.

The things that could truly capture his interest were limited: alchemy, Ryen’s world, and rare materials.

Ryen retrieved a Naga scale from space and handed it to Albedo.

Albedo didn’t even need to touch it—his eyes widened in astonishment.
