Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionDalong 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)
- Chongyun: ...This is bad. Chef Mao is not at the restaurant right now, and neither is Xiangling...
- 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.- Chongyun: Oh, are you a good cook?
- Making popsicles seems easy enough.
I often cook for myself when adventuring in the wilderness.- Chongyun: Then I'll leave it to you. Thanks for your help.
- Do you know what ingredients we should use?
- 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.
- Chongyun: Like different plants, fruits, or herbs, for example.
- Chongyun: Do you have any experience with such things?
- Let's try Mist Flower and Qingxin. (This dialogue option leads to A Cooling Mix.)
- (Go to A Cooling Mix)
- Let's try Sunsettia and Valberries. (This dialogue option leads to A Sweet Mix.)
- (Go to A Sweet Mix)

A Cooling Mix[]
- Let's try Mist Flower and Qingxin.
- Chongyun: Oh, that sounds about right.
- 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)
- Chongyun: Have you procured all the ingredients for the popsicles?
- (Opens the submission menu)
- The Travelers makes popsicles with the ingredients gathered...
- Chongyun: Are they finished? Oh, they look exactly like the ones Chef Mao makes for me.
- Chongyun: Let me try one.
- Chongyun: *licks popsicle* Mmmm, yes...
- Chongyun: ...Good, this is the right feeling. I can sense the energy calming down within me.
- These should help you keep control.
- Chongyun: Thank you, Traveler, now I have lots of popsicles. Your skills are amazing!
- 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.
- 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?
- Chongyun: Exorcism is my means of helping the people of Liyue live more peaceful and happy lives.
- 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.
- 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.
- Chongyun: Hmm, those do sound refreshing, but the popsicles aren't sweet.
- Chongyun: ...But in case you know something I don't, I'll trust your judgment.
- (Talk to Chongyun again)
- Chongyun: Have you procured all the ingredients for the popsicles?
- (Opens the submission menu)
- The Travelers makes popsicles with the ingredients gathered...
- Chongyun: Are they finished? Ahh... these look even tastier than my original popsicles!
- Chongyun: Let me try one.
- Chongyun: *licks popsicle* Mmmm, yes...
- Chongyun: It tastes fruity and sweet... It's delicious!
- 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.
- Chongyun: Sadly not, but in any case, these should be good enough for now.
- 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.
- 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?
- Chongyun: Exorcism is my means of helping the people of Liyue live more peaceful and happy lives.

- (Continues with For A Child's Smile)
A Curious Mix[]
- Let's try Jueyun Chili and Slime Condensate.
- Chongyun: Uh, that sounds a little... dangerous.

- Chongyun: O—Okay... here it goes.
- Chongyun: *licks popsicle* U—Ugh...
- Chongyun: It's so spicy! ...My throat is on fire!
- Chongyun: ...No, no — this is not good!
