Zhongli’s celestial spirit root hadn’t made Jiang Yan eager to accept a disciple before, but now, Shen He’s special constitution has made Jiang Yan anxious.
Zhongli and the others also understood the power of special constitutions.
However, regarding the matter of apprenticeship...
It was clearly not appropriate now.
Zhongli quietly gave a look to Cloud Retainer, who nodded slightly and said softly:
“Jiang Yan, we still don’t understand anything about cultivation, why don’t we think about it before making a decision?”
Jiang Yan also understood that he was a little too eager. He nodded immediately and said:
“Okay, I was too hasty. After all, this is a completely different cultivation system, it’s reasonable for you to consider it.”
“Besides, Mount Shu hasn’t been rebuilt yet.”
“But if you’ve made up your mind, you can let Shen He enter Mount Shu anytime.”
“Of course, it’s the same for you guys too, your talents are excellent. It would be a pity if you didn’t cultivate.”
To be honest, spirit roots are indeed precious, but they’re just ordinary geniuses.
Which top-tier genius doesn’t have a special constitution?
These days, it’s embarrassing to call yourself a genius if you don’t have a special constitution.
Shen He’s Pure Yin Body shocked Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan couldn’t help but sigh at the absurdity of Teyvat.
Other places that produce many geniuses are at most called cradles of talent.
Teyvat...
It’s simply a talent assembly line factory.
So far, all the people Jiang Yan has met, Zhongli and the others, are all outstanding cultivation geniuses.
Is it acceptable to not cultivate?
Jiang Yan isn’t worried that Zhongli and the others won’t cultivate with him.
Just the ability to eliminate wear and tear and even revive is enough to make them determined.
Right now, they just need some time to think.
Just as well, during this time, Jiang Yan can also build Mount Shu.
As for how to build it...
Although Jiang Yan doesn’t have many cultivation methods right now, he’s at least a Returning to the Void cultivator.
It’s impossible to create a small world, but creating a large-scale Dongtian, building some mountains, that’s easy.
Today’s news has been enough.
If they continued talking, Zhongli and the others would be overwhelmed.
So, Zhongli spoke up to take his leave.
“Today is an eye-opener, the cultivation arts are truly mysterious and fascinating.”
“But let’s stop here for today. You just experienced your tribulation, you need some rest.”
“Regarding the reopening of Mount Shu, I’ve already agreed to you, you can choose any location in Liyue.”
“But after all, this is a major event, I need to inform the Seven Stars.”
“We’ll take our leave for today, but rest assured, we will give you a satisfactory answer by tomorrow at the latest.”
“Regarding the reopening of Mount Shu, it’s beneficial for us, we will naturally support it wholeheartedly.”
Jiang Yan smiled and nodded.
“No rush, cultivators have plenty of time. You’re all tired today, why not rest for a while.”
“If there are no unforeseen circumstances, I’ll be in Jueyun Karst during this time. Hopefully I won’t disturb Cloud Retainer.”
Cloud Retainer smiled and said casually:
“Jueyun Karst is always deserted, there’s plenty of space, do as you please. Anyway, you’ve been staying in my abode for a long time, it’s fine if you continue to stay.”
Seeing everyone getting up and preparing to leave, Jiang Yan thought for a moment, and extended his hand towards Xiao.
A golden light burst forth, Jiang Yan muttered softly.
“The Mysteries of Heaven and Earth, the Root of All Qi, Cultivate for Countless Eons, Manifest My Divine Power.”
The golden light flowed into Xiao like a stream, and scattered many starlight points, landing on Zhongli and the others.
Xiao was stunned for a moment but didn’t resist.
Looking at it now, with Jiang Yan’s strength, if he wanted to harm them, they wouldn’t be able to resist.
Besides, they were having a good conversation, there was no need for Jiang Yan to do anything.
After a while, Xiao suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of ease, and looked at Jiang Yan in shock.
The latter nodded gently.
“I just recovered my strength, all my treasures have been shattered in the spacetime turbulence. The Mount Shu treasure vault can’t be opened for the time being, I can’t give you any gifts for meeting.”
“But I see that the Great Demon King seems to have an external world mind demon, the Golden Light Spell is the supreme method to suppress mind demons.”
“I just used the Golden Light Spell to dispel the Great Demon King’s mind demon, and by the way, I also relieved your Dao hearts from erosion.”
“I guess you will feel more relaxed.”
Hearing this, Zhongli was overjoyed, he grabbed Xiao’s arm and felt it.
The bone-eating karmic retribution seemed to have vanished. He calmed his mind and felt his body again.
The wear and tear had been greatly alleviated, and many things he had forgotten before came back to him.
Zhongli immediately looked at Jiang Yan solemnly.
“Thank you! For you, it may be a simple act, but for us, it’s a great favor.”
“There’s no need to thank me, I’m glad I can help you.”
Jiang Yan finished speaking, and then said gently:
“If you really want to thank me, why not join Mount Shu after it reopens? Your talents are too important for the current Mount Shu.”
Zhongli smiled and said cheerfully:
“Don’t worry, we will consider it seriously. With such cultivation, it’s hard to refuse.”
Jiang Yan nodded slightly.
“Farewell.”
Zhongli nodded, and together with all the immortals and Gan Yu, Shen He and the others, they turned into golden light and left.
Jiang Yan sat alone on the mountaintop, sipping his tea.
After a while, he sighed leisurely.
The groundwork for Mount Shu is basically in place. After that, it’s time to formally establish Mount Shu.
“The path ahead is long…”
A withered brown leaf quietly fell on his shoulder, Jiang Yan glanced at it sideways.
He suddenly laughed out loud.
“The flow of time…”
…
Outside Liyue Harbor.
Zhongli used the Geo Archon’s authority and the earth veins to bring everyone to Mount Tianheng.
He casually pointed to a stone table and asked everyone to sit down.
He rubbed his temples with a headache and said:
“Everyone, speak your minds, what are your thoughts?”
But Xiao and the others looked at each other, and remained silent.
Zhongli understood what they were worried about. It’s simply that with Jiang Yan’s strength, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to hear their conversation across such a long distance.
Now they are about to talk about Jiang Yan, they are not at ease.
Realizing this, Zhongli said softly:
“Don’t be afraid to speak, I see that Jiang Yan is not the kind of person who eavesdrops through the curtains. With his personality, he wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Since none of you are speaking, I’ll start.”
“How much credibility do you think Jiang Yan’s words have?”
As soon as the words came out, Gan Yu opened her mouth as if to say something.
Zhongli felt a little helpless.
Now Gan Yu is making subjective judgments about Jiang Yan, the Kirin immersed in love is hard to be calm.
The current Gan Yu cannot fully consider things objectively from the perspective of Liyue.
It’s not that Zhongli is worrying for no reason, but...
As the actual ruler of Liyue, every decision Zhongli makes will have a huge impact on Liyue.
He carries the burden of the people of Liyue, he cannot make any mistakes.
The reason he allowed Jiang Yan to establish Mount Shu on Liyue’s land is to keep an eye on Jiang Yan.
There is a difference between something that can be seen and something that cannot be seen or touched.
Fortunately, before Gan Yu could speak, Zhongli raised his hand slightly.
“Gan Yu, you don’t need to think about these things, just make notes as usual.”
Gan Yu pursed her lips, she also guessed that Zhongli knew her thoughts.
She couldn’t help feeling a little guilty, but still didn’t disobey Zhongli’s words.
“Cloud Retainer, you’ve had the most contact with Jiang Yan, what do you think?”
Zhongli looked at Cloud Retainer sideways. Under the hood, Zhongli’s gaze was especially serious.
Cloud Retainer also knew that the decision they were about to make would affect all of Liyue, and even Teyvat, so she dared not be careless.
She pondered for a moment, stroking her chin, recalling her interactions with Jiang Yan over the past hundred days.
After a while, Cloud Retainer raised her head and said softly:
“Eight out of ten!”
