Chapter 148

"No."

Zhongli suddenly interrupted Venti and looked at him seriously:

"Your contribution points are not zero; they are negative one thousand eight hundred."

"..."

Venti was silent for a moment and looked at Zhongli in a breakdown.

"Negative... negative? Why!"

Zhongli snorted and said indifferently:

"You’ve been tossing around Shushan these past few days; although they weren't big things, they still counted as disturbing the peace of Shushan."

"Naturally, corresponding contribution points will be deducted; in addition, a reminder."

"Before the beginning of next month, if you don't make up the owed contribution points, the Enforcement Hall will report it to the Sect Master."

"Your spirit stone stipend for next month will be gone."

Having said that, Zhongli didn't wait for Venti’s reaction and walked back to the Dragon Head Peak Enforcement Hall with his hands behind his back leisurely.

Venti stood blankly in place, his whole person as if petrified.

This month would end in seven days, and he still had to go to explore the Nine Nether Secret Realm these few days; God knows when he could come back.

This...

Doesn't that mean he might not have spirit stones next month?

Venti was a bit broken.

Lisa looked at Venti with pity, and couldn't help but feel a bit gloating in her heart.

This fellow finally suffered a setback; he came to mess with the spirit fields a while ago.

And even let the Enforcement Hall hold her and Mountain Shaper accountable for not watching the spirit fields well.

The wind and water turn around, indeed.

Lisa said goodbye to Venti with a smile and flew out of Shushan.

She had been stuck in Big Bamboo Peak cultivating these past few days and hadn't gone out to see.

Taking advantage of her leisure time today, going out to see the Shushan Cave Heaven was also good.

It could be considered a novel way of refining the heart.

The vast Dragon Head Peak was left with only Venti standing in the bleak cold wind, dazed.

It looked quite desolate.

In the Sect Hall.

Jiang Yan had also just finished his lecture to Klee.

This little fellow was indeed worthy of the name of a heavenly pride.

Clearly, she had never come into contact with immortality cultivation, and hadn't even read novels about immortality cultivation.

Yet, all kinds of difficult cultivation problems were understood at a single point.

Right now, a faint spark of South-Ming Li Fire was flickering on Klee’s fingertips.

It looked like it would go out if the wind blew, but only those who truly knew the power of the South-Ming Li Fire understood.

This tiny little flame could easily burn the entire city of Mondstadt to ashes.

The attainment of the Red Emperor Burning Heaven Technique in controlling fire was something ordinary cultivators found difficult to understand.

"Master, Klee can already rub out a little flame."

Klee extinguished the flame on her fingertips and looked up at Jiang Yan expectantly.

The latter smiled and said softly:

"Klee is naturally a peerless heavenly pride; in less than a week of joining, you can reach this level."

Klee smiled even more happily and stood up, looking at Jiang Yan eagerly.

Jiang Yan laughed dumbly; Klee’s routine was that she wanted a hug.

Opening his arms, Klee excitedly pounced over with her short legs.

She shrank into Jiang Yan’s arms and rubbed against him.

"Master’s arms are so comfortable! Klee likes them the most!"

Jiang Yan pinched Klee’s cheek and said gently:

"We are going to the Nine Nether Secret Realm soon; at that time, Master won't be able to stay by Klee’s side to protect you."

"You must be obedient and listen to Elder Alice and First Seat Zhongli and the others."

"Don't run around, and don't blow things up."

"If there is danger, what should Klee do?"

Klee hurriedly raised her hand and said:

"Klee knows! If there is danger, Klee will throw the jade tablet out and leave with Mother and the others."

"After going in, I will never take off the clothes Master gave me, and I will never touch flowers and plants I don't recognize."

"Klee has memorized it all; Master, Klee is very obedient!"

Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction and patted Klee:

"Alright, today’s cultivation ends here; Klee can go out and play."

Hearing this, Klee’s eyes lit up a bit.

"Master, can Klee go down the mountain to blow up fish? The fish Klee blows up are super delicious; Klee wants to blow up a big fish for Master!"

Jiang Yan felt a warmth in his heart and rubbed Klee’s head.

"Go, pay attention to safety; you cannot... when flying on a sword."

"You cannot throw bombs while flying on a sword! Klee knows!"

Having said that, Klee put on her little backpack with a "he-xiu" and ran out.

"Master! Klee is leaving! Goodbye, Master!"

The crisp loli voice disappeared in the Sect Hall, and Jiang Yan shook his head and laughed.

Klee’s innocent heart was indeed suitable for cultivation.

Her achievements in the future might be exceptionally high.

Jiang Yan reached out and counted the void in front of him, and immediately, a water mirror appeared.

The situation of the Shushan Cave Heaven, big and small, was all displayed in front of him.

Alchemy furnace exploding, watching Cloud Retainer scolding while repairing the furnace, and the humble Mountain Shaper.

Lisa flying leisurely on her sword outside the seven branches.

Shenhe, who was wholeheartedly obsessed with the Seven Killings Order of Gods and Ghosts.

Venti, who was desperate and gray on Dragon Head Peak...

Jiang Yan checked everyone’s status remotely.

Compared to when they just joined the sect, they had now more or less mastered some of the true combat methods of cultivators.

They could also use these methods to truly exert the power of true essence.

Even Lisa, whose progress was slow due to the Karma Fire Burning Soul Technique.

Also had the Sword-Flying Technique.

Moreover, although the Karma Fire Burning Soul Technique cultivated slowly, as long as the karma fire was condensed, it was already a devastating blow to life.

Overall, only now could they be considered to have the strength that cultivators truly should have.

Calculating the time, Jiang Yan estimated that tomorrow would be the last day of the first week after Zhongli and the others joined Shushan.

Since that was the case, the exploration of the Nine Nether Secret Realm couldn't be wasted.

After some thought, Jiang Yan condensed his voice with true essence and transmitted it into the ears of all disciples.

"All disciples, listen to the order; tomorrow at noon, the first exploration of the Nine Nether Secret Realm will officially begin."

"All disciples must be well-prepared to deal with the first secret realm exploration in a perfect state."

As the voice fell, after a moment of silence in various parts of Shushan, responses sounded one after another.

Lisa, who was traveling outside Shushan, and Venti, who was dazed with a sad face on Dragon Head Peak, also came to their senses.

Tomorrow was the first secret realm exploration.

The secret realm was extremely dangerous, unlike Teyvat, which was harmonious in the eyes of cultivators.

There were many demon beasts there.
