Chapter 192

"Shushan was just built, and the time is still short, so there are not many disciples now."

"I think you should know all those senior brothers and sisters of yours."

"My Tongtian Peak currently has only three disciples: Ganyu, Keqing, and my direct disciple Klee."

"The acting head of Longshou Peak is Zhongli, which is your Geo Archon. He is temporarily in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall."

"The people of Longshou Peak include the first disciple of Longshou Peak, Xiao, and the Law Enforcement Hall elder, Alice."

"Dazhu Peak has Lishui and Lisa."

"Xiaozhu Peak has Ningguang and Shenhe."

"Feng-hui Peak has Liuyun and Gechen..."

After a rough explanation, Baizhu became even more surprised.

There were not many Shushan disciples, but the current Shushan disciples were all quite famous existences.

Two rulers, plus all the immortals in Liyue who could be named, had already joined Shushan.

As for the others, Alice was famous throughout Teyvat, and as for Lisa, Baizhu had heard of her genius when he went to Sumeru to observe the Eleazar disease.

So, all his senior brothers and sisters were big shots.

However, Baizhu was more concerned about...

"Has the Archon also joined Shushan? And the various immortals... True Monarchs."

After saying this, Baizhu felt a bit strange in his heart.

Immortals coming to Shushan to cultivate?

Doesn't this mean that the immortals themselves admit they are not immortals?

Thinking back to when he sought immortality and was scolded by the immortals, it was interesting that they were now fellow disciples.

Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

"Zhongli has joined Shushan. I accepted him as a disciple on behalf of the previous head of Longshou Peak, Senior Uncle Mo Yixi, so Zhongli can be considered to have apprenticed to Senior Uncle Mo Yixi."

"As for the immortals of Liyue, they are now also disciples of the seven veins."

"However, within Shushan, the way of addressing each other must change. Head Zhongli is quite particular about these rules."

Baizhu nodded seriously.

"The disciple understands."

"Sect Leader, I wonder about our Shushan cultivation..."

Jiang Yan felt a bit helpless.

When Alice and the others came last time, Alice knew some things herself, plus Zhongli led the way and explained.

It saved him a lot of effort, but now everyone had gone to the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

This kind of work fell on him again.

"Shushan cultivation is completely different from Liyue. As long as you have a spirit root, you can cultivate."

Following that, Jiang Yan simply told Baizhu some general common sense about cultivation.

Now, even though Baizhu was mentally prepared, his heart still couldn't help but surge with stormy waves.

Shushan's Immortal Dao, Jiang Yan's Immortal Dao, was even more outrageous than the cultivation system in Liyue's novels.

The longevity Baizhu craved most was basically an incidental benefit of cultivation for them.

According to Jiang Yan, the cultivator's pursuit of lifespan stops at the level of an immortal.

Because an immortal lives as long as heaven and earth...

Even the lowest-level cultivator at the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi has a lifespan of five hundred years.

Anyone who reaches Refining Qi into Spirit has a lifespan of at least ten thousand years.

As for Refining Spirit into Void, Jiang Yan's current realm, Baizhu estimated it was probably six digits.

But correspondingly, breaking through is not a simple matter.

The span of a small realm in cultivation might be hundreds or thousands of years.

Even a genius needs decades or hundreds of years of polishing.

And his talent...

Although Baizhu was optimistic and felt that his will could change the factors determined by heaven, he was still a bit panicked in his heart.

No wonder Jiang Yan repeatedly asked about his longing for the Immortal Dao.

If he got stuck at the peak of Refining Essence into Qi and couldn't break through, watching himself have a longer lifespan,

only to fall at the last step.

That kind of despair, dying with eyes wide open, was not enough to describe it.

But now Baizhu still had plenty of time, and this wavering worry only appeared for a moment.

Baizhu bowed:

"The disciple knows that his talent is not good, but the disciple believes that he will definitely not let the Sect Leader down!"

"Having this heart is good. The greatest taboo for a cultivator is an unstable Dao heart."

Jiang Yan smiled and shook his head:

"Besides, a middle-grade single spirit root cannot be called poor; it is considered a medium-to-high aptitude."

"It's just that the talent of your senior brothers and sisters is truly too shocking."

"You must put in more effort and more hard work to have a chance to catch up with them. Do you understand?"

Baizhu nodded heavily.

"The disciple understands!"

If talent is not enough, then make up for it with effort!

If others cultivate for one hour, he will cultivate for a day, a year.

The opportunity for longevity is right in front of him; to let him give up, even death is impossible.

From today on, except for cultivating immortality, he can ignore everything else.

"Your mindset is truly firm, the only one I have ever seen in my life."

Jiang Yan looked at Baizhu with admiration and said again:

"Regarding the problem of talent, you don't have to worry too much. Shushan has a deep foundation, and there is no lack of pills to improve talent."

"Your Senior Brother Lishui knows such pill recipes; what is lacking now is only spiritual herbs and technology."

"There will always be a chance in the future."

Hearing this, Baizhu felt a surge of joy in his heart.

"Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader."

After saying this, Baizhu thought about it and asked curiously:

"Sect Leader, the sword immortal in Liyue's rumors, I wonder which senior brother or sister it is?"

Jiang Yan smiled lightly:

"Usually, Head Zhongli and the others rarely go back, and even if they do, they use their disciple tokens to teleport directly."

"Only Keqing, because she is guarding the Millelith in Jueyun Karst, often runs between Liyue Harbor and Jueyun Karst."

"The so-called sword immortal in Liyue must be the legend left by Keqing's sword flight."

Hearing this, Baizhu couldn't help but feel some envy.

Strictly speaking, Keqing joined the sect about a week earlier than him, and she could already perform this sword flight operation.

It seems Keqing's talent must be very good.

But Baizhu hadn't seen any traces of other people on Shushan until now, and there weren't many people in Shushan Cave Heaven either.

He couldn't help but be a bit curious.

"Sect Leader, are the senior brothers and sisters not in Shushan?"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and looked toward Longshou Peak.

"They just entered the Nine Nether Secret Realm to explore today, and it will probably take some time before they come out."

Nine Nether Secret Realm...

Baizhu had heard Jiang Yan say just now that it was the only secret realm that had recovered in Shushan.

There were countless spiritual herbs and magic treasures in it; the only problem was that there were many demon beasts inside.

It was full of crises.

However, being able to go in and train was a good experience.

It seems that he won't be able to see these senior brothers and sisters in a short time, which is a pity for Baizhu.
