Jiang Yan didn’t rush to answer Zhongli and the others’ questions.
Instead, his expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
“My apologies.”
Before anyone could react, Jiang Yan instantly appeared behind Shen He and gently placed his palm on her back.
“Jiang Yan?!”
Ganyu immediately became anxious, and was about to say something, but Liu Yun stopped her.
“Don’t worry, Jiang Yan wouldn’t harm Shen He.”
“...”
Ganyu was speechless.
Zhongli quietly sighed from the side.
This Liu Yun, not only couldn’t speak, but couldn’t even see the situation clearly.
Was Ganyu worried that Jiang Yan would hurt Shen He?
The little girl's thoughts were all written on her face!
But it was after all a girl's heart, Zhongli couldn’t say anything.
It’s just…
He found it difficult to say that Ganyu had fallen for Jiang Yan.
According to Jiang Yan, he was seeking immortality through cultivation.
After becoming immortal, whether he would still be in Teyvat, or ascend to the so-called Immortal Realm, was unknown.
He could only hope Ganyu wouldn't be heartbroken.
Everyone watched Jiang Yan’s actions quietly, the golden-purple lines between his brows faintly flickered.
A wisp of purple energy bloomed from the point of contact between Jiang Yan’s palm and Shen He’s back.
After a while, a hint of joy appeared on Jiang Yan’s face.
This made Zhongli and the others somewhat concerned.
Although they hadn’t interacted long, they could sense that Jiang Yan was someone who didn’t show his emotions easily.
This kind of expression was only seen when he saw everyone's good talents.
So…
Shen He has good talent?
Thinking about it, Zhongli couldn’t help but smile.
The more talented people Liyue had in cultivation, the happier he was.
After Jiang Yan opened his sect, Liyue's strength would explode again.
After a while, Jiang Yan withdrew his hand, returning to his position like a mirage.
This simple teleportation technique made Zhongli curious.
But for now, Shen He’s matter was more important.
“How is it? Is there any problem?”
Jiang Yan shook his head and said with a hint of 感慨:
“Nothing, just… I never expected such an unexpected gain.”
“Teyvat, truly has many geniuses. If the Third Elder saw Shen He, she would be delighted to take her as a disciple.”
“The Suyin Body… I never thought such a constitution would appear in a small world.”
Liu Yun couldn’t hold back anymore and asked urgently:
“So, what exactly does this constitution mean? Is it good or bad?”
Jiang Yan pursed his lips and said softly:
“If it’s for you, it’s the worst kind of bad news.”
“The Suyin Body is naturally attuned to Yin, its life is filled with misfortune. Even later, as time progresses, Shen He’s emotions will become increasingly distant.”
“Ultimately, becoming a self-destroyer who is indifferent to everything.”
Liu Yun became anxious.
“Is there a way to resolve it?”
“Liu Yun! Let Jiang Yan finish!”
Zhongli’s voice rose slightly, and Liu Yun immediately apologized:
“Sorry…”
“Understandable, it’s out of concern.”
Jiang Yan continued:
“It’s my fault for not explaining clearly. I meant that, for you, the Suyin Body isn’t a good thing.”
“But if Shen He can cultivate, the Suyin Body is an excellent female cultivation constitution.”
“The Third Elder of the Qinghui Lineage of Mount Shu, every generation has been a Suyin Body.”
“Every Third Elder has been a woman, but their combat strength is among the strongest of all the elders.”
“The Qinghui Lineage has always only taken one disciple per generation, each disciple is a Suyin Body, and they are also the next Third Elder.”
“And every Third Elder has ascended to immortality.”
“Before the incident on Mount Shu, the Third Elder had already reached the peak of the Void Refinement and Dao Integration realms, ready to ascend at any time, she just hadn’t found a Suyin Body disciple.”
“Without passing down the Qinghui Lineage, the Third Elder would not ascend.”
“If the Third Elder knew about Shen He, she would definitely be willing to cross worlds to take her as a disciple.”
Liu Yun finally understood and excitedly grabbed Shen He’s hand.
“So, Shen He’s talent is very good, right? But her spiritual root’s glow seems…”
Jiang Yan shook his head.
“For those with exceptional constitutions, spiritual roots are not worth paying attention to.”
“Shen He only has a mid-grade Ice Spiritual Root, but the Third Elder back then had a Three Spiritual Roots.”
“The Suyin Body is a special constitution, it’s a very suitable constitution for cultivation.”
“Those who possess this constitution, when they practice special methods, their combat strength, not to mention being invincible at the same level, is also much stronger than ordinary geniuses.”
“Moreover, as they cultivate, their personal emotions will also return to normal.”
“However…”
Jiang Yan paused, after considering for a moment, seeing that Zhongli and the others were anxious, he still said:
“The Suyin Body is indeed very powerful, but because of its power, it is also very dangerous.”
“Not to mention the body’s own issues, their emotions remain distant before cultivation.”
“Moreover, the Suyin Body is a very suitable constitution for dual cultivation. If it were to be discovered by the Harmony Sect or other evil cultivators, they would definitely try every means to capture and drain it.”
Zhongli furrowed his brows slightly, he felt that what Jiang Yan said wasn’t a good thing.
He patiently asked:
“Can you explain in more detail?”
“There wouldn’t be this risk in Teyvat, you can rest assured.”
Jiang Yan pursed his lips and said softly:
“The so-called Harmony Sect is a sect that specializes in dual cultivation. In terms you can understand…”
“Harmony Sect cultivators seek to use the draining of male and female essence to cultivate, which is, in colloquial terms… the so-called Way of the Union of Yin and Yang.”
The immortals all felt a little annoyed, Zhongli subconsciously clenched his teacup.
What Way of Yin and Yang, it’s just that kind of thing!
“Lowly!”
Liu Yun shouted angrily, holding Shen He’s hand tightly.
“How can such a thing become a cultivation method? It’s dirty and despicable!”
Hearing this, Jiang Yan laughed bitterly:
“But it’s true that there is such a sect, which is what I call, evil cultivators.”
“Harmony Sect disciples cultivate, seeking the Way of Yin and Yang, draining the vital essence of young men and women to cultivate.”
“And those who are drained… their essence dissipates, and they usually don’t live past the age of twenty-five.”
“In the cultivation world, the Harmony Sect is a sect that everyone in the righteous path wants to eradicate.”
“If they are targeted, they will do everything they can to achieve their goal, drugging, kidnapping…”
“They won’t give up until they achieve their goal.”
“But rest assured, there’s only me, a cultivator, in Teyvat, and I don’t practice the Harmony Art.”
Zhongli put down his teacup and said softly:
“It seems that the cultivation world isn’t as harmonious as we imagined.”
“Naturally.”
Jiang Yan shook his head.
“Where there are people, there is conflict. There is righteousness, and there is evil. This is the unchanging truth of heaven and earth.”
“But please rest assured, if Shen He begins to cultivate, she will surely have a smooth path. Once she has the power to protect herself, the Suyin Body will be her trump card in cultivation, not a constitution that harms her.”
Liu Yun looked at Shen He, who had no expression, and felt a little heartache.
It’s a good thing Shen He wasn’t born in the cultivation world, otherwise, she would have been… before even cultivating.
Jiang Yan could see that everyone didn’t want to talk about this topic, so he simply changed the subject and said:
“What I said before, spiritual roots are just the most basic condition for cultivation.”
“Although Heavenly Spiritual Roots are rare, special constitutions are the true marks of a cultivation genius.”
“It’s a pity for Shen He to not cultivate with such a constitution.”
Jiang Yan sighed, pondered for a moment, and said softly:
“I don’t have the methods of the Qinghui Lineage right now, but I’ve brought with me a lot of treasures from Mount Shu, and I will slowly open them over time.”
“Then, Shen He can cultivate.”
“I can take the Third Elder’s place in accepting disciples. Shen He, are you willing to join Mount Shu and officially embark on the path of cultivation?”
This was Jiang Yan’s first time taking the initiative to invite someone.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t hold back.
It’s just…
The Suyin Body!
Isn’t it a waste to not cultivate?!
