Quest Description

Dalong leaves after having been given all the popsicles, feeling most pleased. For Chongyun, these popsicles are essential to suppressing his pure-yang spirit, and so he must have some on his person at any given time. The two of you head to Wanmin Restaurant to restock.

Popsicle Emergency[]

(Approach Wanmin Restaurant)
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 01.ogg Chongyun: ...This is bad. Chef Mao is not at the restaurant right now, and neither is Xiangling...
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 02.ogg Chongyun: We'll have to wait till he returns... What do we do about the evil spirits?
If it's not too difficult, I can try to make some.
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 03.ogg Chongyun: Oh, are you a good cook?
Making popsicles seems easy enough.
I often cook for myself when adventuring in the wilderness.
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 04.ogg Chongyun: Then I'll leave it to you. Thanks for your help.
Do you know what ingredients we should use?
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 05.ogg Chongyun: Uhh... I'm afraid all I know is that it requires water. But to imbue the effect that suppresses my yang energy, perhaps something special is required.
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 06.ogg Chongyun: Like different plants, fruits, or herbs, for example.
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 07.ogg Chongyun: Do you have any experience with such things?
Let's try Mist Flower and Qingxin. (This dialogue option leads to A Cooling Mix.)

A Cooling Mix[]

Let's try Mist Flower and Qingxin.
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 10.ogg Chongyun: Oh, that sounds about right.
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 11.ogg Chongyun: Coming up with the right ingredients off the top of your head like that... You most certainly are an experienced adventurer.

(Talk to Chongyun again)
Media:vo cycop001 1902406 chongyun 01.ogg Chongyun: Have you procured all the ingredients for the popsicles?
(Opens the submission menu)
The Travelers makes popsicles with the ingredients gathered...
Media:vo cycop001 1902403 chongyun 01.ogg Chongyun: Are they finished? Oh, they look exactly like the ones Chef Mao makes for me.
Media:vo cycop001 1902403 chongyun 02.ogg Chongyun: Let me try one.
Media:vo cycop001 1902403 chongyun 03.ogg Chongyun: *licks popsicle* Mmmm, yes...
Media:vo cycop001 1902403 chongyun 04.ogg Chongyun: ...Good, this is the right feeling. I can sense the energy calming down within me.
These should help you keep control.
Media:vo cycop001 1902403 chongyun 05.ogg Chongyun: Thank you, Traveler, now I have lots of popsicles. Your skills are amazing!
Media:vo cycop001 1902403 chongyun 06.ogg Chongyun: If I'd known you possess such skills, we could've made more for that kid and his family.
It'd have to be a lot more — I'm sure the kid would eat most of them and still be hungry.
Media:vo cycop001 1902403 chongyun 07.ogg Chongyun: Haha, right. But he mentioned his family is not well-off. I'd still like to help them if I can.
But what about your search for evil spirits?
Media:vo cycop001 1902403 chongyun 08.ogg Chongyun: Exorcism is my means of helping the people of Liyue live more peaceful and happy lives.
Media:vo cycop001 1902403 chongyun 09.ogg Chongyun: If that kid really needs my help, then helping him would just be different means to the same end.
I'll go with you.
Media:vo cycop001 1902403 chongyun 10.ogg Chongyun: Alright. I remember the kid mentioned that he was headed for Chihu Rock. Let's go find him.
(Continues with For A Child's Smile)

A Sweet Mix[]

Let's try Sunsettia and Valberries.
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 08.ogg Chongyun: Hmm, those do sound refreshing, but the popsicles aren't sweet.
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 09.ogg Chongyun: ...But in case you know something I don't, I'll trust your judgment.

Media:vo cycop001 1902404 chongyun 01.ogg Chongyun: Are they finished? Ahh... these look even tastier than my original popsicles!
Media:vo cycop001 1902404 chongyun 02.ogg Chongyun: Let me try one.
Media:vo cycop001 1902404 chongyun 03.ogg Chongyun: *licks popsicle* Mmmm, yes...
Media:vo cycop001 1902404 chongyun 04.ogg Chongyun: It tastes fruity and sweet... It's delicious!
Media:vo cycop001 1902404 chongyun 05.ogg Chongyun: But I'm afraid it's not as effective at suppressing my yang energy as Chef Mao's popsicles.
I thought just any popsicles would do.
Media:vo cycop001 1902404 chongyun 06.ogg Chongyun: Sadly not, but in any case, these should be good enough for now.
Media:vo cycop001 1902404 chongyun 07.ogg Chongyun: These popsicles really are delicious... I bet that kid we met earlier would be thrilled to taste this flavor.
It'd have to be a lot more — I'm sure the kid would eat most of them and still be hungry.
Media:vo cycop001 1902404 chongyun 08.ogg Chongyun: Haha, right. But he mentioned his family is not well-off. I'd still like to help them if I can.

A Curious Mix[]

Let's try Jueyun Chili and Slime Condensate.
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 12.ogg Chongyun: Uh, that sounds a little... dangerous.
Media:vo cycop001 1902401 chongyun 13.ogg Chongyun: But as the saying goes, "fight fire with fire." I trust your judgment.

Media:vo cycop001 1902405 chongyun 03.ogg Chongyun: O—Okay... here it goes.
Media:vo cycop001 1902405 chongyun 04.ogg Chongyun: *licks popsicle* U—Ugh...
Media:vo cycop001 1902405 chongyun 05.ogg Chongyun: It's so spicy! ...My throat is on fire!
