Indeed, he will even buy it at a premium sometimes.īut for some reason, Zhongli always forgets to bring money.įor small purchases, he has friends to help him out, and large bills he somehow finds ways to have written off. As long as it catches his eye, Zhongli will pay as much as the owner asks. Half the stated cost is a good place to start.īut when Zhongli pays up (or rather, calls for someone else to pay up on his behalf), he never looks at the price tag. No matter what high heavens the store owner praises their product to, no matter its ancient history or classical value, prices are always flexible. This is common knowledge among the people of Liyue. When making a purchase, look to slash prices. He is also more than capable of participating in discussions on commerce, politics, and international relations.īut on a typical day, all you will glean from him is a few pieces of useless trivia, because he particularly enjoys sharing these fun tidbits with you. Zhongli has expertise in all manner of things, from fashion to daily essentials, to fine wines and delicacies, to teas and spices, and to flora and fauna. He must attend operas by the most celebrated performers, take the most luxuriant thrushes out for walks, and he must go into the kitchen personally to instruct the cooks as to the ratio of scallops and fish required to make the most authentic Fullmoon Egg. Some people hate spicy food, others don't eat fish, and some want their tofu served sweet.īut as for Zhongli, he is particular about everything. In truth, everyone is "particular" about something. In Liyue, if a person pays great attention to details, and has insuperable criteria by which they judge certain matters, then they are called "particular." When folk describe Zhongli as "living history," the latter usually only smiles and sighs. Not even the most particular and learned of researchers or scholars could find one fault in Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's ceremonies for sending adepti off.Įverything must be perfect, from the costumes, the time, the place, the items, the weather, the scheduled length, the size of the permitted audience, to the stature, profession, and age of the said audience. This is not something one would likely witness twice in their entire lifetime. The adepti have been with Liyue for millennia, but only a handful have ascended in the past three thousand years, which means that everything regarding the traditions now only exists in texts. However, Hu Tao, the current owner of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, primarily focuses on the art of sending mortals on their way.įor the various ceremonies for sending adepti off, Hu Tao usually employs the help of a friend in more or less the same business. The Hus of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, who have been in this business for 77 generations, are the masters of handling funerals. In Liyue's traditional customs, "receiving adepti" and "sending adepti off" are equally important.

This effect cannot be stacked.Ī true master of stone may carve jade and shape gold.

Possesses 150% DMG Absorption against all Elemental and Physical DMG.Ĭharacters protected by the Jade Shield will decrease the Elemental RES and Physical RES of opponents in a small AoE by 20%. Only one Stele created by Zhongli himself may initially exist at any one time. The Stone Stele is considered a Geo construct that can both be climbed and used to block attacks. This effect does not cause DMG.Īdditionally, it will intermittently resonate with other nearby Geo constructs, dealing Geo DMG to nearby opponents. If there are nearby targets with the Geo element, it will drain a large amount of Geo element from a maximum of 2 such targets.

The shield's DMG Absorption scales based on Zhongli's Max HP.
