Why are all Liyue's stories written like this? Paimon: But anyway, that bit that goes "foul blood something something formed stone".

Just three lines and Paimon's head is hurting. (Interacting with the incomplete writing) Incomplete writing: "With the evil serpent gone from Qingce, the magic formula that subdued it was no longer in effect." Incomplete writing: ".But the serpent did not perish, and its foul blood congealed within the earth and formed stone, poisoning the world." Incomplete writing: ".Thus three statues were used to subdue it." Paimon. (When reaching the Ruin Hunter) Paimon: Yikes! It's a Ruin Hunter! Paimon: Guess we're gonna have to go through this guy if we wanna search in this area. For all we know, it really is just a legend. Yan'er: Take care of yourself now, and don't push yourself too much.

Whoa! Y-You're still here? Yan'er: I'm going to rest for a while, and then. (Talk to Yan'er again) Yan'er: This way, I can. This might be the clue to some treasure, but it's just a legend in the end. Yan'er: Please be mindful of your safety. Yan'er: Are you looking to go inside and explore, by any chance? Not that I'd stop you, no, but. I'll probably wait until it leave before giving this a go. Yan'er: I'd really like to go in and have a look, but it's far too dangerous. That's why I said that my luck was terrible. It turned out that there's a Ruin Hunter standing guard inside. Yan'er: After all the effort I put into finding these ruins, thinking that I might be able to find something in here. It's likely that barely anyone even remembers the legend anymore. Yan'er: It is, after all, an antediluvian legend. researchable? Yan'er: I say that, but the truth is that I don't have a lot of leads. Yan'er: Ahem! Do you even know how valuable it is for research? This is your research? Yan'er: Of course! How could I give up on something so. Yan'er: Uses? For a monster's corpse? Do you even have any idea. Yan'er: Even if it were not truly the corpse of that monster, there must be something incredible underground. Yan'er: And indeed, the growth of these trees is abnormal. They believe that these trees grew by absorbing the Chi's blood, and that the area where they grew are the Chi's eyes. Haven't you noticed the giant trees growing in this area? Don't you think that they're a lot larger and sturdier than elsewhere? Yan'er: The locals call these Blood-Fed Trees. Yan'er: I believe that the Chi's corpse may still be on this mountain. Yan'er: And in times long past, the word "Chi" also used to mean "Qingce." Yan'er: And, through my long, earnest and rigorous research. Yan'er: When Rex Lapis - or, Morax -defeated it, the Chi's body twisted into rock, its blood turned into water, and its scales became the terraced fields. Yan'er: Do you know about the Chi? According to legend, the Chi was a dragon-like monster that once forcibly occupied this place. Yan'er: That's it? "It's pretty unique"? So uncultured. Should have known you weren't the cultured sort. Yan'er: Well, its origin and hidden meaning, of course. Do you understand what "Qingce" means? Understand. Yan'er: You know the name of this place, right? Qingce Village? Yan'er: So, how do I say this. (Talking to Yan'er) Yan'er: Agh, what terrible luck.
