Chapter 112

Zhongli was confident in this as well.

Alice, however, was a bit envious; having read all kinds of cultivation novels, she knew exactly what spirit stones were.

They were the treasures essential for an immortal cultivator’s cultivation.

Calculating in her heart, Alice looked at Venti with frustration.

"It seems we are going to be mere foils this time."

"Hehe!"

Venti spread his hands and didn't answer.

He hadn't held any hope for the result of the battle from the very beginning.

Now, it was just a matter of seeing the true capabilities of an immortal cultivator.

"Since everyone has no objections, let us begin."

With that, Jiang Yan pointed his finger, and a pile of chairs and a long table grew from the ground.

A moment later, some fruits emitting a faint spiritual aura appeared on the table.

These were things he had specifically transplanted from Teyvat and planted on Heaven-Piercing Peak.

Nourished by spiritual energy, they had already begun to change slightly.

The principle was the same as that of the fierce beast meat.

Keqing figured it out quickly and began calculating that she should discuss with Ningguang again about planting some small fruits in the Shushan Grotto-Heaven.

Klee’s eyes lit up, and feeling a bit greedy, she reached out eagerly to grab a fruit to eat.

Jiang Yan smiled, and with a movement of his divine sense, a fruit flew into Klee’s hand on its own.

This was the fruit with the most abundant spiritual energy.

Alice naturally noticed this and, for once, said seriously:

"Many thanks, Sect Master Jiang Yan."

"It is but a small matter."

Jiang Yan’s gaze remained focused on Klee, and after a long while, he said softly:

"Klee has excellent talent."

Alice’s eyes lit up, feeling quite happy.

"Really? Can she join Shushan?"

Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

He hadn't expected that before he even brought it up, Alice would be the one impatient to have Klee join Shushan.

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and smiled:

"Naturally, she can. However, let us watch the sparring match for now."

Alice wasn't in a hurry; after all, judging by Jiang Yan’s intent, he wanted Klee to join Shushan.

She didn't mind; if she could join, she would, and if she couldn't, as long as Klee could, everything would be fine.

At the very least, by joining Shushan, Klee would be safe during the future turmoil in Teyvat.

Although Alice seemed playful and carefree every day,

as a mother, Alice was very serious.

No one loved Klee more than she did.

On the arena.

Lisa and Ningguang stood on opposite sides.

This arena was huge, large enough to encompass the entire Liyue Harbor.

Moreover, as time passed and the Grotto-Heaven became more perfect, Jiang Yan continued to expand it.

It would only get larger in the future.

Although the distance was still far, Ningguang and Lisa were both very strong, and their eyesight was naturally good, so they could still see each other.

A moment later, Ningguang nodded slightly and said:

"Ningguang, disciple of Shushan’s Small Bamboo Peak, please advise."

Lisa was stunned for a moment, then followed suit and replied:

"Lisa, Librarian of Mondstadt."

As the words fell, the aura on both of them surged simultaneously.

Although Lisa’s expression still looked carefree and somewhat frivolous,

her eyes contained deep wariness.

Relying only on her surface power, she feared she wouldn't be able to take down Ningguang and would instead be suppressed by her.

Therefore...

she would ultimately have to use that taboo power.

However, since Zhongli had said that with his true energy assisting her, it would be fine, she figured it wouldn't be much of a problem.

At worst, Shushan Sect Master Jiang Yan was still on the sidelines.

Calculating this in her heart, Lisa finally made her move.

Inside the arena formation, overwhelming thunderclouds gathered, and white-purple lightning began to brew.

It flickered in bursts within the thunderclouds.

This strength earned the admiration of Liuyun and the others.

Mondstadt, after all, still had some people with depth.

Lisa could feel the power within her body beginning to try and consume her.

But the next moment, Zhongli’s true energy domineeringly suppressed it, and immediately, that power became as obedient as a well-behaved baby.

It really worked!

Lisa felt a surge of joy, and thinking of this, she increased her intensity even more.

She hadn't fought at full strength for a long time, and now...

it was a chance to release the frustration in her heart.

Under the thunderclouds, the figure of the Rose Witch grew taller.

But looking at the thunderclouds above, Ningguang smiled.

Now that she had mastered the Five-Thunder Talisman of the Heaven-Piercing Talismans, playing with lightning in front of her...

was a bit childish.

76. Lisa: Won't the lightning from the Five-Thunder Talisman be immune when hitting my lightning shield?

Seeing that Lisa opposite had already begun to summon lightning and was pressing toward her,

Ningguang took out a bell without haste.

It was a rather ancient, and even somewhat tattered, bell.

But as soon as she took it out, Jiang Yan gave Ningguang a deep look.

He truly hadn't expected Ningguang to have such good fortune.

This object was called the Heaven-Heart Bell.

It was a high-grade magical artifact that Jiang Yan had made last night.

Those who held the Heaven-Heart Bell would have their minds undisturbed by external objects, and could resist spells involving the soul, such as illusion formations and charm techniques.

Furthermore, the Heaven-Heart Bell itself possessed the power to shake the opponent’s mind.

"Be careful, Miss Lisa. This bell is a magical treasure I managed to subdue in the Sword Forest only after exerting all my strength."

Lisa had heard Alice talk about the main combat methods of immortal cultivators on the way here.

She had naturally dabbled in magical artifacts as well.

Immediately, she raised her alertness to the maximum.

"Soul Capture!"

Ningguang’s gaze shook, the Heaven-Heart Bell swayed slightly, and a crisp bell sound reached Lisa’s ears.

At this moment, in a trance, Lisa seemed to see herself as a child.

Enjoying the name of a genius, loved by her parents, a complete family, and after growing up, going to the Akademiya for exchange studies.

There, she spent a happy time studying, and then...
