If you happen to meet Lord Jiang Yan, please convey my greetings. Many thanks to Lord Jiang Yan for granting me a stable life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao nodded slightly, then mounted his sword and transformed into a streak of light, flying away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archon watched with envy for a moment before turning back to diligently continue its work as a rancher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Dragon Head Peak, Zhongli looked up toward the direction of the distant Heaven-Piercing Peak and said solemnly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I obey the Sect Master's decree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, he turned to look at Venti and the others, his gaze flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Sect Master of yours has spoken?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venti asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sect Master is already aware of my intention to spar with you and has notified all the disciples to come and observe the proceedings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, since the entire Shushan is now aware of this matter, and you have all come on this journey to learn about immortal cultivation—and perhaps even join Shushan—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"it might be better to expand the scale of this battle a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venti’s eyes lit up, and the unease in his heart vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli glanced at the three of them and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your strength is not much different from Alice’s; you are both top-tier powerhouses among the Archons. Why not spar with me together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for Miss Lisa, I observe that your strength is at the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi. If one accounts for the power hidden within your body, I fear you are comparable to some Archon retainers at the middle stage of Refining Essence into Qi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you willing to join the battle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa gave a wry smile and said helplessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected, nothing escapes Mr. Zhongli. It’s just that there are some issues with my body; I fear that fighting at full strength might...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is merely a matter of burning your lifespan; that is easily resolved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Zhongli flicked a strand of true energy into Lisa’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My true energy can protect you so that you do not burn your lifespan while using your power. With that, are you willing to join the battle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the fatigue that had plagued her from time to time vanish completely, Lisa’s eyes filled with pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zhongli, who had only just begun his cultivation, could achieve such a feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, that Shushan Sect Master...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lisa also knew that as a Sect Master, he would not act without reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To truly cure the problems within her body, she would eventually have to consider cultivating immortality herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, this was the perfect opportunity to witness the methods of an immortal cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lisa did not hesitate and nodded decisively:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli nodded slightly, his voice amplified by true energy, vibrating in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the name of the Acting Head of Dragon Head Peak, the Dragon Head Peak arena shall host the first Shushan sparring match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disciples, come quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, several streaks of light flashed from the mountain below, and more arrived from the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keqing and the others, their bodies flowing with immortal intent, landed gracefully on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone bowed slightly. Zhongli nodded and looked toward the final streak of light on the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Xiao returned, his body wrapped in dense baleful energy and fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately bowed and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli glanced at Xiao, whose true energy was still churning and seemed somewhat depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared that this battle had indeed not been easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao, take a rest first and recover your true energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! Head!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground and began to circulate his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless spiritual energy gathered into a vortex above his head, which left Venti looking quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>seemed to have become much stronger as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is immortal cultivation really this absurd?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa examined Ningguang and Keqing. She hadn't met Ningguang before, but she had seen Keqing a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keqing often led teams on business trips to Mondstadt, but when she had seen Keqing back then, although she was strong, she hadn't possessed such sharp sword intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that Keqing hadn't been cultivating for long, had she really become this strong in such a short time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa suddenly felt even more anticipation toward immortal cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli looked around; there were only a dozen or so Shushan disciples in total, so it was easy to confirm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, they had all arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resigned, Zhongli said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you disciples began your cultivation, you haven't truly experienced a battle. Now, my old friends Barbatos and Alice have come to visit Shushan with their team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have consulted with them, and they are willing to fight in person to experience the combat style of immortal cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope all disciples will participate enthusiastically to prepare for future explorations of the secret realms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally... considering that Barbatos and the others are few in number, only three will be participating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, it would be inconvenient for Alice and Miss Lisa to fight too many rounds. As for Barbatos...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli pondered for a moment and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I imagine he wouldn't mind sparring with everyone a few more times. Am I right, Barbatos?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli looked calmly at Venti, who wore an expression of wanting to cry, silently complaining that Zhongli was petty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still nodded with a mournful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-no... that's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Venti desperately wanted to go back in time and slap his past self for tampering with Zhongli’s contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>75. Ningguang: Playing with lightning in front of my Five-Thunder Talisman?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sparring arena on Dragon Head Peak had been cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli and the other Shushan members stood on one side, while Venti and his two companions stood on the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discussion, it was decided that Lisa and Ningguang would fight in the first match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa excelled in spells, and Keqing excelled in sword techniques. Although their strength was similar, Lisa was definitely not the best opponent for Keqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relatively speaking, Ningguang was the one who needed to spar and discuss the Dao with Lisa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two looked at each other and stepped onto the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhongli was about to activate the formation to provide support, Jiang Yan’s figure appeared silently above the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhongli and the others hurriedly stood up and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome, Sect Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venti and the others nearby also understood that the person before them was the true leader of Shushan and the target of their trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They followed suit and offered their greetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice couldn't help but examine Jiang Yan carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura was extremely restrained, but if one looked closely, one could perceive a pressure that transcended heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought to herself that he was truly worthy of being an immortal cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>",1233,"2026-06-14T06:26:02.540Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9bba5a1a34a8a1c5ce654f808d2f48fa9781eae584b8ed91cb6211e15d04c47d","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-111","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-109",924,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgenshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-cover.jpg"]
