Chapter 189 The Alchemy Equation

"I'm not entirely ignorant of Mondstadt's wine industry, and I've even brought in a top mixologist to help. I'm definitely prepared to fight!"

Feng Yi walked to the window, gazing at the azure sky with a confident smile.

He wasn't opening a tavern in Mondstadt to make money, but rather to create a venue for gatherings and gathering intelligence.

With a hundred million mora of support from Ningguang as reserve capital, Feng Yi could afford to incur losses for several years.

When Feng Yi approached opening his tavern with such a mindset, he was already in an invincible position.

"Alright, I understand!"

Jean turned her head to look up at Feng Yi beside her. She saw the sunlight illuminating his face, as if veiled by a light gauze.

That fair and smooth complexion...

Those dark and deep eyes...

Those thick eyebrows and high-bridged nose...

Everything about him exemplified nobility and elegance!

This, this scene, perfectly matched her idealized image of a novel's male protagonist!

Thump-thump-thump~

Jean suddenly felt her heart pounding so fast it felt like it would leap out of her chest, her cheeks also feeling a warm flush.

To hide her flustered state, Jean quickly took a few deep breaths.

But Feng Yi's confident smile from just now became even clearer in her mind.

Jean quickly took out her seal from the drawer, signed and stamped the application form, and then promptly ushered Feng Yi out.

Jean closed the door, leaned against it, and clutched her heaving chest, feeling her increasingly boisterous heartbeat. For a moment, she was flustered and didn't know what to do.

Although she was the Acting Grand Master and appeared calm and rational when mediating others' romantic disputes, when facing romantic issues herself, she was no different from an ordinary teenage girl.

She wanted to stay with Feng Yi for a while longer but was also strangely shy.

Now that she had sent Feng Yi away, she felt regret and reluctance!

Jean found this contradictory feeling to be truly peculiar!

Meanwhile, Feng Yi stood somewhat bewildered in the Knights' headquarters hall, holding the approved opening application form signed by Jean. He was slow to react, not quite grasping what had just happened.

He had merely stood by the window and struck a pose towards the sky. Why was Jean so quick to kick him out?

While there might have been a tiny bit of showing off, it didn't warrant such treatment, did it?

Alas, women's minds are truly unfathomable!

However, since his purpose for coming here had been achieved, Feng Yi no longer cared about the trivial matter.

He would hire a few people in the afternoon to thoroughly clean the shop, and after a few more days of completing the necessary preparations, he could officially open for business!

As Feng Yi mused over this, he moved towards the library across the hall.

He had previously asked Lisa to help organize materials related to alchemy. He wondered how that was going, and since he had time now, he might as well go and check.

Feng Yi entered the library and found Lisa lounging on the table, a book in her hand, her expression shifting between a frown and a look of sudden realization.

Lisa was so engrossed in the book that she didn't even notice Feng Yi approaching.

Feng Yi, curious about the book that had captivated Lisa so completely.

He wondered what kind of book it was that possessed such magic!

"A Detailed Explanation of How to Correctly View and Handle Menstrual Issues."

Good heavens, wasn't this the book he wrote to educate girls about menstruation?

Seeing how much a reader liked his own work, Feng Yi, as the author, couldn't help but show a smile of satisfaction and relief.

"Hmm? Little darling Feng Yi, are you done with your business? Those alchemy books you asked me to organize earlier, I've put them on that table over there. You can go look at them first, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask me..."

Lisa seemed to sense something and looked up, realizing it was Feng Yi. She stretched out her jade-like fingers and pointed to the adjacent table.

She was currently contemplating an important issue and didn't have the mood to tease Feng Yi.

So she told him to go and look at the books first, and she would talk to him after she finished her research.

"Ah... okay, thank you very much!"

Feng Yi took a deep breath, reluctantly averting his gaze.

The way Lisa's ample bosom, too large for her top, was resting on the table, slightly distorted, was truly eye-catching.

How could that flimsy white fabric withstand such fierce evil?

Seeing the precarious situation of the white fabric on Lisa's chest, Feng Yi wished he could lend a helping hand on the spot!

Feng Yi walked with heavy steps, looking back three times as he went to sit at the nearby desk.

Looking at the mountain of alchemy books, Feng Yi randomly picked one up and began to read.

This one recorded Lisa's casual, interesting little experiments. The content within, whether it was the processing methods for elemental flower elixirs or a brewing method that reduced distillation by one step using only two ceramic bowls, Lisa had clearly and easily annotated the principles involved.

Although Feng Yi was still an alchemy novice who had just entered the field, after carefully studying Lisa's annotations, he couldn't help but feel he had gained a lot.

Feng Yi flipped through book after book, trying to find a suitable introductory book for alchemy beginners.

But unfortunately, these alchemy books were like a hodgepodge, mixing alchemy recipes of different difficulty levels together, leaving Feng Yi utterly confused.

Feng Yi deduced that these books were likely sparks of inspiration casually recorded by alchemists during their explorations.

For peers who understood alchemy, these casually written notes containing alchemy recipes would undoubtedly be invaluable treasures.

But for Feng Yi, who didn't understand alchemy, these incomprehensible alchemy notes were no different from waste paper.

Disorderly, chaotic!

Tasteless to eat, but a waste to discard!

After forcing himself to read for a long time, Feng Yi finally understood one thing: he truly wasn't cut out for learning alchemy!

Just as Feng Yi closed the book, preparing to leave, he suddenly thought of his chemistry knowledge from his previous life.

Could these alchemy recipes here be expressed using the form of chemical equations from his previous life?

Feng Yi thought it was worth a try.

Feng Yi quickly found paper and a pen. He first took a simple alchemy recipe as an analytical object, deconstructed the alchemy reaction within, and attempted to express it in the form of an alchemy equation.

The elemental energy unique to the continent of Teyvat was regarded by Feng Yi as a special type of catalyst...

As he found more and more similarities, Feng Yi's eyes lit up brighter and brighter.

Gurgle~

Two hours later, the lunch bell rang precisely.

Feng Yi immediately stopped writing, bid Lisa a temporary farewell, and left the library to deal with lunch first.

The world is big, but eating is paramount!

If you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with your mindset!

When can't one learn alchemy?

After Feng Yi left, Lisa moved to his desk and, as usual, began to tidy the scattered books and materials. Her gaze, however, inadvertently fell upon the alchemy equations recorded in the notebook Feng Yi had left open.
