When we woke up we talked to shenhe, "So shenhe... We met cloud retainer last night..."
Shenhe nods, "Master has relayed the situation to you, I take it. After all master is very talkative."
We head to the building site and are very suprised to find the jade chamber floating into the sky, but it was tied down by some ropes so it can't float away.
We meet Beidou and Yunjin, they introduce themselve to us, Yunjin thinks for a second, "I have a proposal to make, Lady ninggunag said the first three contestants to procure all three items will get to ask her a question. There a three teams here, why don't we split the prize between us?"
We decide to form a team, and we decide to head to liyue harbour to talk to Master Zhang the blacksmith about the wonder cores.
Yunjin asks, "Excuse me master zhang we were wondering if you have heard of something called a wonder core."
Master zhang nods, "So, you're here to make wonder cores huh. As it happens I do now how to make some. As a matter of fact I've made some for Lady Ningguang back when she was building the original jade chamber."
"The types of ore needed to create wonder cores are a little hard to come by, lady ningguang supplied them herself the last time she back around. I don't suppose you've brought any?"
Paimon replies, "No we were going to ask you what types of ore we need."
Master Zhang laughs, "Well sure, you need two types; Starsplinter iron and Subrosium."
"If I remember correctly lady ningguang sourced her starsplinter iron from the Mt Tianheng area. They say it resonates with visions. Start by looking for starsplinter iron around Mt Tianheng, and then you can ask the locals about Subrosium."
Yunjin nods, "Interestingly enough the story of 'divine damsel of devastation also takes place on that mountain."
So we head to Mt Tianheng. On the way there, Yunjin tells us the story of the divine damsel of devastation, "Its the story of a girl becoming a hero."
"It is said there used to be a prosperous village on the mountain, in that village was a loving couple, completely devoted to one another, until a monster came."
"The wife was captured by the monster so the husband went mad, the monster told the villagers, 'If you want to live you must sacrifice a child to me'"
"The villagers had no choice but to give in to the monster's demands, just as they were discussing whose child would be given to the monster a little girl stepped up"
"Unbeknowst to everyone she was hiding a exorcist's blade, when she arrived in front of the monster, she drew her sword and fought the monster, she eventually emerged the victor."
"Her extraordinary abilities drew the attention of the adepti and they took her in. Alas, the paths of mortals and adepti rarely cross, and she would never again re-enter the mortal world."
Shenhe nods, "I really like this story, but personally I think prehaps the little girl was not as brave as this opera makes her out to be."
We head up the mountain the the other two use their visions to find starsplinter iron.
We found a local standin around and decided to go ask him about Subrosium. Paimon yelled, "Hey there, excuse us sir could we ask you something?"
He points at the village not saying anything, we take this as a cue to look for clues in the village.
Shenhe says, "Sorry you can have a look without me, I'd like to have a word with this gentleman. If thats ok with you uncle Mingjun."
The guy turns to us, "Its... Its... Shenhe? You're alive? The rumours are true? So all these years..."
"I'm sorry I don't know how to find subrosium, but you can look around in the village. This place is deserted now and no one ever come here, you can rummage all you want."
We leave Shenhe to talk to Mingjun and we leave to look around the village.
We find a notebook, it confirmed this village is were divine damsel of devastation occured. Yunjin gasps, "So Shenhe is the divine damsel?"
"According to this text, the divine damsel from the opera is actually the daughter of the loving couple, and... She didn't volunteer... She was sacrificed to the monster by her own father..."
"It looks like my father may need to make a few revisions to his beloved opera..."
We head back and saw Shenhe and Mingjun talking. Mingjun was expressing his regrets of not stopping shenhe's father sacrifice her.
We talk to her about the story of the divine damsel and the truth. Then we wait until the right time to find the subrosuim and take it with us back to liyue harbour.
We give the ore to Master Zhang, "Oh goodness. This is some top quality ore you found, I think I'll get a good end product out of this."
We leave the ore with master Zhang to forge, and Shenhe tells us she may be able to make the adepti sigils for us.
We bring the finished products back to Ningguang's secretary, "Ningguang's little secretary! We found all the materials!"
She nods, "The three of you found them together? I see. The wonder cores and adepti sigils look good, it seems that we've just found our winners."
Baiwen annouced that we won, "I hereby annouce the winners of this competition are the traveler, Beidou and Yunjin!"
We head up to the jade chamber.
Ningguang finished up the jade chamber, "Combine the adepti sigils with the wonder cores and insert them into the jade chamber's control compartment. The construction of the new jade chamber is now officially complete, once the tethers are released it will soar into the sky."
"Thank you for your hard work, now it is time for me to fulfill my promise."
"Ms yun I've already heard things about the reason for your involvement, you are looking for a venue for you new opera, correct? Well I suggest you do it right here on the jade chamber."
Yun jin gasps, "Thank you lady ningguang. Then I will prepare my props and other articles shortly. Please allow me to bring all these aboard the jade chamber."
Ningguang sends Yunjin off, "Traveler you're next, what is your question? I should clarify I do not know your sister's whearabouts. So please don't waste your question on this matter."
Aether looks dissappointed, I don't have anything to ask, so paimon takes the question.
Shenhe then asks ninguang a question, "Lady Ninggaung, do you think I can ever fit into Liyue Harbour?" this was quite a tricky question but ninggaung answers without hesitation.
Ningguang says, "Liyue harbour is very inclusive, as long as you respect the rules here, you will not be turned away."
"So the key is whether or not you yourslef can develop a sense of belonging here."
Beidou arrives, turns out beidou hasn't got any questions for ninggaung and was forced to help out by her. But she does say, "Ninggaung remember what we talked about. Its not going to be easy to deal with, I don't think my fleet could take it on our own."
Paimon asks, "Beidou Ningguang what are you talking about?" Just then the jade chamber starts ascending, for a while all seems to be going great.
But then the sky turns gray and dark with storms on the horizon, a giant sea monster just like Osial but a darker shade of blue appeared.
Ninggaung says calmly, "Right on cue, the avenger of the vortex Beisht. Osial's wife. Beidou sensed something was stirring in the deep, she warned me a month ago."
"Knowing she harbours hatred towards the jade chamber, I chose to rebuild it now, as a way of drawing her out."
Paimon nods, "Well lets go fetch the adepti." but she is stopped by ningguang, "No in this human age we must face this crisis on our strength alone."
Ningguang manifests a geo ballista and on a island to the side, keqing leads millelith forces that shoot at beisht.
Beisht being angered creates and tsunami, Aether jumps off the jade chamber trying to attack beisht but was hit by a blast."
Shenhe, going to the injured Aether has a moment of realisation and freezes the while tsunami.
Seeing the wave dispelled, a new sense of fighting spirit came over everyone in liyue, and they fought back with renewed spirit. Soon beisht was defeated.
Ningguang thanks us for our help in defeating Beisht. Cloud retainer arrives and remarks that prehaps liyue has really entered a human age and congratulates us.
That evening, we attend a banquet at the jade chamber. Listening to Yunjin's opera, 'divine damsel of devastation.
After the opera Yunjin came to us, "What did you think? Personally I thought I sang pretty well."
Shenhe replies, "It was wonderful." I nod, "It was beatiful." And then the rest of that evening passed with lots of drinking and laughing.
