Chapter 143

At a round table not far away, Jean looked at a letter, and after a long while, let out a long breath, rubbed her eyebrows, and burned it casually.

"How is it, how is it? Acting Grand Master Jean, what did that bard say?"

Paimon, while gnawing on a meat skewer, didn't forget to ask on behalf of Lumine, who was currently a bit of a little mute.

Although Venti hadn't been in contact with Lumine and the others for long.

But after inquiring about some information on Venti in Mondstadt, Paimon decisively gave this unreliable fellow the nickname "the bard."

Hearing Paimon’s question, Diluc not far away also quietly pricked up his ears to listen.

This group of people was forcibly put together by Lumine.

Diluc couldn't overcome Lumine’s stubborn temper, and plus Lumine said Jean could contact Venti and Alice, so he just half-heartedly accepted it.

Diluc also knew a little about Venti and Alice going to cultivate immortality.

But as for the specifics, what Lumine and the others said was ultimately not as comprehensive as Alice’s.

Jean organized her language and said softly:

"Lord Venti said that their immortality cultivation in Liyue is going very smoothly; a few days ago, they successfully joined Shushan and switched to the Dao of Immortality."

"Currently, Lord Venti is the acting First Seat of Morning Sun Peak in Shushan, and Ms. Alice is an elder of the Enforcement Hall."

"Lisa has joined Big Bamboo Peak, one of the seven branches of Shushan, specifically to study alchemy."

"As for Klee..."

Speaking of Klee, a trace of pride couldn't help but emerge in Jean’s eyes.

"Because Klee’s talent is too good, her comprehension is high, and her luck is even superb, she has already been taken in as a disciple by the Shushan Sect Master, Mr. Jiang Yan, and has become the Sect Master’s first disciple."

"Currently, she is being cultivated with all his heart by the Shushan Sect Master."

Hearing this, Lumine widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Klee is apprenticed to that Shushan Sect Master?"

"Are you kidding? Does that kind of existence really take disciples?"

Kaeya sipped his wine and said casually:

"Isn't it just an apprenticeship? Klee’s talent is naturally good, her good luck is also known to all, and she is also obedient and cute; it’s reasonable for the Shushan Sect Master to take her as a disciple, right?"

"No! You don't understand at all!"

Lumine shook her head with a serious face.

"That Shushan Sect Master is a proper cultivator of immortality, a cultivator at the Refining Spirit to Return to Void stage."

"Such an existence could easily destroy Teyvat with a backhand; Klee has latched onto the biggest thigh!"

"And, a direct disciple of the Sect Master; do you know what a direct disciple of the Sect Master means?"

"A direct disciple of the Sect Master is cultivated as the next generation’s Sect Master! The Shushan Sect Master, according to Sister Alice..."

"That is the proper leader of the righteous path in the cultivation world, the king of sects in the entire cultivation world."

"Deep foundations, powerful background."

"If Klee really has the chance to become the Shushan Sect Master, let alone Teyvat, she could beat whoever she wants in the entire universe of the Tree and the Sea!"

Jean’s expression was a bit awkward, and she said softly:

"Klee shouldn't have the bad habit of hitting people casually, and besides, Lord Venti said that the Shushan Sect Master is in the prime of his life."

"He reached the late stage of Refining Spirit to Return to Void at such a young age, and his lifespan is conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands of years."

"The position of Sect Master is not something one can just think about casually."

Lumine curled her lips and spread her hands:

"That’s still a direct disciple of the Sect Master; you would know if you had read novels about immortality cultivation."

"Direct disciples of the Sect Master are all the most important core disciples in the sect, and absolutely no accidents are allowed to happen to them."

"In the future, I’m afraid no one will dare to touch a single hair on Klee."

"Cultivators are all very protective of their own; let alone touching her, if someone were to say one bad word about Klee, that Sect Master could probably slap the other person to death with a backhand."

"Questioning the Sect Master’s direct disciple is questioning the Sect Master; that is slapping the other person in the face."

"Klee already has the entire Shushan behind her; ah! I’m so envious... I also want to cultivate immortality."

Lumine let out a wail and lay weakly on the table.

Kaeya thought about it in his heart, recorded the information Lumine said, and then said again:

"Acting Grand Master Jean, did that lord say anything else?"

Hearing this, Jean pursed her lips and said helplessly:

"Most of it was complaining that the Geo Archon... that is, the current First Seat of Dragon Head Peak, Morax, is too harsh on him."

"He would lock him in the Enforcement Hall to copy precepts at every turn, or punish him by docking his spirit stone stipend."

"As for other things..."

Jean was silent for a moment and said slowly:

"Lord Venti said that after he and Lady Alice switched to the Dao of Immortality, their strength improved by leaps and bounds, and they became much, much stronger."

"He even said that Lisa’s current strength, when fully exerted, is no weaker than a top-tier Archon’s attendant."

"Klee, relying on the treasures given by the Shushan Sect Master and the cultivation techniques she practices, can also fight and win against top-tier Archon attendants."

"As for himself, he boasted that yesterday he went to the Eastern Sea of Shushan and beat up two existences from the Sea of Quanta that surpassed Archons."

"I reckon Lord Venti wanted to tell us that after cultivating immortality, he has now surpassed the Archons."

Hearing this, Diluc’s hand as he was pouring wine stiffened.

His heart was like a storm-swept sea, unable to calm down for a long time.

It was only a few days of cultivating immortality...

Lisa could actually be comparable to a top-tier Archon attendant?

Lisa’s original strength was indeed not weak, but not to this extent.

Venti was even more absurd; surpassed the Archons in a few days?

Is immortality cultivation really that powerful?

Diluc couldn't help but feel a bit more eager; he was looking forward to going to Liyue to cultivate immortality.

"Besides that, Lord Venti also said."

Jean continued:

"After he cultivated immortality, solving Dvalin’s problem would be as easy as turning over his hand."

"However, the Shushan disciples have a collective exploration mission these few days, needing to go to a world called the Nine Nether Secret Realm."

"They said they need to collect resources to exchange for contribution points, and also fight against real cultivation demon beasts."

"He might not be able to come back in a short time; if we can't solve the problem, he will solve Dvalin’s problem when he returns from the Nine Nether Secret Realm."

"Overall, they are all good news."

Lumine thought thoughtfully and suddenly said in shock:

"Nine Nether Secret Realm? Is that the ancient secret realm mastered by the legendary cultivation sect?"

As she spoke, little stars were still flickering in Lumine’s eyes.

A secret realm!

A place that the protagonist in immortality cultivation novels must go to, filled with treasures everywhere.

After this trip, wouldn't she be rich?

Lumine thought enviously and said again:

"Acting Grand Master Jean, did Venti say what pills or magic treasures he obtained?"

"Lumine, you know these things very well?"

Jean asked subconsciously, and then thought that Lumine herself was a Traveler, so she suddenly understood.

"Indeed, Lord Venti also mentioned these issues; he doesn't have pills or magic artifacts for the time being, but Klee already has a full set of top-tier magic artifacts personally crafted by the Shushan Sect Master."

"As for pills, currently only Klee has some, which were specially refined for her by the Sect Master."

"But others need to follow Shushan’s rules and regulations, complete tasks, and obtain contribution points to exchange for pills."

"By the way, are pills and magic artifacts very powerful?"

Hearing this, Lumine stood up immediately and waved her hands.

"Powerful! Extremely powerful!"

"In my impression, there are many powerful pills that can resurrect the dead and make people directly become strong."

"Magic artifacts are even more so; it’s just... it’s just..."

Lumine looked around for a moment and pointed at Paimon:
