Perhaps, I can try!
Feng Yi murmured softly, suddenly thinking of his River God domain.
If someone were to hold the giant egg, and then he were to activate his River God domain to encompass it.
If luck was on his side, the giant egg would fall into the River God domain, thus generating golden and silver giant eggs.
Perhaps with the augmentation of the River God domain, some of the lost origin could be replenished.
But this was merely Feng Yi's ideal outcome. Not to mention that due to the random nature of falling objects, whether the giant egg would even fall was an unknown.
Even if golden and silver giant eggs were indeed generated, they might not necessarily replenish the lost origin.
However, this was at least a chance that could possibly be realized, wasn't it?
What? Feng Yi, are you sure you're not joking?!
Grandma Ping, abandoning her usual amiability, looked at Feng Yi sternly. When it came to the matter of a friend's offspring, there was no room for jokes!
I cannot guarantee it will be successful. My teacher once taught me some knowledge about life alchemy, and one of the cases bore some similarity to the situation with this giant egg.
Feng Yi spoke with an air of reservation, leaving himself ample room for maneuver, attributing all inexplicable matters to that fictional teacher.
By the way, I still don't know who your teacher is?
Grandma Ping was half-believing, half-doubting. Something that even the Geo Archon could not resolve, yet Feng Yi's teacher had dealt with a similar problem. Who, then, was Feng Yi's teacher?
"Apologies, my teacher is always elusive. He actively seeks me out, and I rarely have time for idle chat. My teacher never mentioned it, so I never asked! However, my teacher seems to be in seclusion, attempting to break through to the realm of a Gold Alchemist!"
Feng Yi reused the same tactic he used to deceive Tartaglia to quell Grandma Ping's inquiries.
Maintaining consistency in his story would make it harder to expose his lies.
A life alchemist attempting to reach the Gold realm? Feng Yi, you can still... never mind, please give it your best shot! Any further delay might make things worse!
Grandma Ping's eyes suddenly lit up when Feng Yi mentioned his teacher was attempting to reach the Gold realm. She had also heard of the legends of Gold Alchemists.
At the Gold Alchemist realm, one could already create life comparable to that of Archons, such as the aforementioned Rhinedottir.
Even if Feng Yi's teacher had not yet reached the Gold realm, if they specialized in life alchemy, there was a high probability they could replenish the origin of this giant egg.
Initially, Grandma Ping had intended to ask Feng Yi to have his teacher come out of seclusion to restore the origin of the giant egg.
No matter the cost, it would be incomparable to the life of a friend's child!
However, upon remembering that Feng Yi had said his teacher sought him out, and he couldn't contact him, she had to reluctantly abandon this optimal choice.
Moreover, Feng Yi's teacher was in seclusion attempting to break through to the Gold realm, and it was imperative not to disturb them!
If they waited for Feng Yi's teacher to finish their seclusion, who knew how long it would take? If it took decades or even a century, the giant egg might not survive that long!
After careful consideration, Grandma Ping could only place her last hope on Feng Yi.
Let Feng Yi give it his best shot. The outcome could not possibly be worse.
Feng Yi wouldn't possibly cook and eat this bird's egg, would he?
Rest assured! I will give it my all!
Feng Yi said, patting his chest. At most, the falling gold and silver eggs would be ineffective. The outcome could not be worse, so Feng Yi had no worries.
Feng Yi retrieved the giant egg back into the Serenitea Pot and would take it out again once he and Ganyu returned to the study in the Sea of Clouds Pavilion.
During the time waiting for the River God domain's cooldown to refresh, Feng Yi decided to properly reward Ganyu, who had wholeheartedly helped him today.
Past midnight, everything was ready.
Ganyu, we can proceed with the first attempt now!
Feng Yi chose Ganyu as his accomplice, intending to reveal his River God domain to her.
After these few days of interaction, he had already forged a deep friendship with Ganyu. He believed that even if some aspects of his River God domain were revealed, she would not react excessively.
Today, Feng Yi had also considered using his River God domain on an adeptus, but quickly abandoned the idea.
Setting aside the issue of whether to reveal his River God identity, whether it would be effective was another matter entirely.
He would consider it once he became stronger or their relationship became closer!
Eh? Feng Yi, don't you need to prepare some materials when using alchemy? What do I need to do?
In Ganyu's impression, alchemists always needed to prepare a large cauldron and add materials when conducting alchemy experiments.
How could Feng Yi conduct alchemy experiments without alchemical materials?
Could he create something out of thin air?!
"The alchemy I use is rather special; it requires no other alchemical materials. All you need to do is hold the giant egg and honestly answer one question for me!"
Feng Yi touched his head and chuckled. He had disguised his River God domain as an alchemical process, which was quite unconventional.
"Right, no matter what happens later, you must not be surprised. Maintain your composure and answer the question I ask honestly. Do you understand?"
Thinking of Hu Tao's predicament, Feng Yi repeatedly cautioned Ganyu. He did not want Ganyu to suffer the same fate as Hu Tao.
Wouldn't that mean spending a lot of money to buy soul-nourishing medicinal ingredients from that cunning merchant, Baizhu, again?
Mm-hmm~ I understand, Feng Yi, don't worry!
Being cared for felt wonderful, and Ganyu's heart felt warm.
Let's begin!
Feng Yi nodded at Ganyu, who immediately picked up the giant egg and stood before him.
River God domain, activate!
Feng Yi lightly tapped the ground, and the ground was instantly replaced by a water surface, encompassing them both.
Young Ganyu! Did you drop this golden bell, or this silver bell, or this bronze bell that you have worn for many years?!
The randomly dropped item was not the giant egg. Although Feng Yi had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Huh? When did my bell get to Feng Yi?
Ganyu was startled, and saw the bronze bell in Feng Yi's hand. It was the very item she always wore, a gift from her father.
I dropped that bronze bell!
Amidst her surprise, she suddenly recalled Feng Yi's repeated instructions and quickly answered.
An honest and kind person will receive the blessings of the River God! This silver bell is gifted to you!
Feng Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, Ganyu was reliable, unlike the mischievous Hu Tao.
The River God domain dissipated, and Feng Yi handed both the silver bell and the bronze bell to Ganyu.
Feng Yi, was it successful?
No, we'll try again in seven days!
Considering that the River God domain could only be used once a day, and once a week for the same target, Feng Yi couldn't help but sigh.
He, Feng, had bad luck!
A glint flashed in Ganyu's eyes upon hearing this. She could roughly guess Feng Yi's plan.
*Slap!*
Feng Yi suddenly slapped his thigh, filled with regret.
If he had asked Ganyu to take off all her clothes beforehand, wouldn't that have maximized the probability of the giant egg dropping?
