"Organization the Rite of Parting should prov to be an enlightening part of your travels. Liyue is the most prosperous of the seven Nations, defended by deities and ruled by the Qixing. As such, the diplomatic maneuverings of the Fatui have gained no purchase here. Ningguang of the Qixing has always been on her guard against the Fatui. That is in all likelihood why Childe wants to make use of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's connections." the city was beautiful with all the red wood and the sweet smell of food all over the streets from street-food vendors.

"Huh... what would Childe get out of us doing the Rite of Parting anyway?" Paimon asked while trying to not get distracted by that smell.

"I neither know nor do I wish to know. As far as I am concerned, the Fatui are merely financial sponsors. I only wish for Liyue's traditions to endure. These are the advance funds that Childe has provided. If you use them up, you can go to him to apply for any subsequent funding."

"Wow..." that caught the elf's interest.

"Then we'd be in debt to a Fatui Harbinger." (Y/N) pointed out.

"That wouldn't be very nice..." Aether seemed displeased by the mere thought of it.

"Well then, let us be off. The first step in our preparations shall be to obtain some prize Noctilucous jade worthy of a deity." he began walking.

"Where do you get that... noc... nocti..."

"You can get Noctilucous jade at the Jade Mystery. I know the way but so does Zhongli, let's just follow him.

"Kay!" Paimon chirped.

"Welcome to the Jade Mystery, my good friends! Would you like to try your luck betting on jade? This could be your lucky day." a man in a blue wear waved at them from under a small little stand made of bamboo. On an table three Cor Lapis rocks were put up to attract customers, all three hidden from the sun (not so smart, the orange color won't have time to shine then). "It's cheap and it's fun. And who knows, you just might strike it rich!"

"Betting? No, no, we're here for... um, what was it called again?"

"We would like to look at Noctilucous Jade of best sort." (Y/N) said to fulfill the food's sentence.

"Radiant grade at the very least." Zhongli knew what he was doing, that you heard.

"Radiant Grade Noctilucous Jade? I see, you're not a tourist. My apologies. I have some here for your perusal... What do you think? The Jade Mystery is an old name in the jade business. Just look at that wonderful quality! Rex Lapis doesn't often bless us with such finery. Go on, pick whichever one you like!" he had put up three pieces of the Noctilucous Jade. They all looked good, the Jade Mystery was a fine business after all...

"These three really do look pretty, not like the ones you usually dig up..." Paimon, that sounds like you dig up pieces of Noctilucous Jade often, but you never move a finger if it's not food in front of you! "But how do we pick? Should we just grab one and go?" she turned to Aether.

"What do you think, Mr. Zhongli?" Aether and (Y/N) turned to look at Zhongli.

"Oh? You want me to decide? That is fine as well. If it were me, the answer would be simple." he said as if it was a clear answer already.

"Oh? And that would be...?"

"I'll take them all, boss."

"Oh, you act with such panache, good sir! I always knew you were not a man of ordinary caliber!"

"Wait! Wait! That one didn't count! We need to discuss it again!" they walked away a little. "Hey! If we only need one for the ritual, aren't we wasting three times the Mora if we buy them all?"
