Chapter 22

Isn't it appropriate to cultivate with this?!

17. Shenhe, join Shushan!

Just now, Zhongli's Heaven Spiritual Root didn't make Jiang Yan anxious to take a disciple, but now Shenhe's special constitution made Jiang Yan eager.

Zhongli and the others also understood the power of a special constitution.

But regarding the matter of becoming a disciple...

It was clearly not appropriate now.

Zhongli quietly gave Cloud Retainer a look, who nodded slightly and said softly:

"Jiang Yan, we don't know anything about cultivation yet. Why don't we think about it and talk later?"

Jiang Yan also understood that he was a bit anxious and nodded immediately:

"That's fine, I was too rash. After all, this is a completely different cultivation system, and it is reasonable for you to consider it."

"Furthermore, Shushan has not yet been rebuilt."

"However, if you have considered it, you can let Shenhe enter Shushan at any time."

"Of course, you too. Your talent is excellent; it would be a pity if you didn't cultivate."

Spiritual Roots and such, to be honest, are indeed precious, but they are only ordinary geniuses.

True top-tier geniuses, which one doesn't have a special constitution?

These days, if you cultivate without a special constitution, you'd be embarrassed to call yourself a genius.

Shenhe's Plain Yin Body truly shocked Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh again at Teyvat's absurdity.

Other places produce many geniuses, at most called a cradle of geniuses.

Teyvat...

It's simply a genius assembly line factory.

Just looking at Zhongli and the others Jiang Yan has seen so far, each one is an excellent cultivation genius.

Isn't it reasonable to cultivate?

Jiang Yan wasn't worried that Zhongli and the others wouldn't cultivate with him.

Just the ability to remove erosion and resurrect is enough for them to make up their minds.

Now, they just need some time to think.

Coincidentally, taking advantage of this time, Jiang Yan could also establish Shushan.

As for how to build it...

Although Jiang Yan doesn't have many cultivation methods right now, he is at least a Refining Spirit and Returning to Void cultivator.

Creating a small world is impossible, but creating a large blessed land, building some mountain ranges, isn't that easy?

He had already received enough news today.

If they kept talking, Zhongli and the others would be afraid they couldn't take it.

Simply, Zhongli spoke up to say goodbye.

"Today has been an eye-opener; the matter of cultivation is truly mysterious and yearning."

"But let's stop here for today; you have just passed the tribulation and need to rest."

"Regarding the reopening of Shushan's mountain gate, I have already promised you; you can choose any location in Liyue."

"But after all, this is a big matter, and I need to inform the the Liyue Qixing."

"We will take our leave today, but rest assured, by tomorrow at the latest, we will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Regarding the reopening of Shushan's mountain gate, it is beneficial to us, so we will naturally support it with all our strength."

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded.

"No rush, the thing cultivators lack the most is time. You are tired today, so you might as well rest for a while."

"If there are no accidents, I will be in Jueyun Karst during this time, and I hope I won't disturb you, Cloud Retainer."

Cloud Retainer smiled and said casually:

"Jueyun Karst has always been uninhabited, and the territory is very large. You can do as you please. Anyway, you have lived in my abode for a long time, so it doesn't matter if you continue to live there."

Looking at everyone who got up to leave, Jiang Yan thought for a moment and reached out to Xiao.

A point of golden light bloomed, and Jiang Yan whispered.

"Heaven and Earth Profound Sect, the root of all Qi, cultivating for billions of kalpas, proving my divine power."

The golden light flowed into Xiao's body like a small stream, and by the way, spread out many star points, falling on Zhongli and the others.

Xiao was stunned, but still did not resist.

At present, with Jiang Yan's strength, if he wanted to harm them, they couldn't resist.

Furthermore, they had chatted quite well, so Jiang Yan didn't need to do anything.

A moment later, Xiao suddenly noticed an unprecedented lightness and looked at Jiang Yan in shock.

The latter nodded gently.

"I have just recovered my strength, and all my treasures were shattered in the turbulence of time and space. The Shushan secret treasures cannot be opened for the time being, so I have no way to give you any meeting gifts."

"However, I observe that the Conqueror of Demons seems to have inner demons from the outside world; the Golden Light Mantra is a supreme method to suppress inner demons."

"I just used the Golden Light Mantra to remove the Conqueror of Demons' inner demons, and by the way, I also eased the erosion of your Dao hearts."

"I think you will feel a bit easier."

Hearing this, Zhongli was overjoyed and grabbed Xiao's arm to feel it.

That bone-eroding karmic debt seemed to have vanished, and he calmed down to feel himself again.

The erosion was greatly eased, and many things he had forgotten before were remembered again.

Zhongli immediately looked at Jiang Yan seriously.

"Many thanks! It might be a casual act for you, but it is truly a great kindness to us."

"It's not a kindness, as long as it helps you."

After Jiang Yan said this, he added gently:

"If you really want to thank me, why not join Shushan after the mountain gate reopens? Your talent is simply too important for the current Shushan."

Zhongli smiled and said happily:

"Rest assured, we will seriously consider it. I think it will be hard to refuse such cultivation."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

"Goodbye."

Zhongli nodded and took the immortals, Ganyu, and Shenhe with him, turning into golden light and leaving.

Jiang Yan sat alone on the top of the mountain, sipping fragrant tea.

After a long while, he sighed leisurely.

The Shushan background he laid out was basically done; after that, it would be the formal establishment of Shushan.

"The road is long and difficult..."

Desolate brown-yellow leaves fell quietly on his shoulders, and Jiang Yan glanced sideways.

Suddenly, he laughed out loud.

"Following the current..."

Outside Liyue Harbor.

Zhongli used the Geo Archon's authority and the ley lines to bring everyone to Mount Tianheng.

He pointed to a stone table and let everyone sit down.

He rubbed his temples with a headache and said:

"Speak your minds, what are your thoughts?"

But Xiao and the others looked at each other and were silent.

Zhongli understood what they were worried about; it was nothing more than that with Jiang Yan's strength, it didn't seem difficult to hear their conversation across such a long distance.

Now they had to discuss Jiang Yan again, and they were not at ease.

Thinking of this, Zhongli said softly:

"Speak freely; I observe that Jiang Yan is not the kind of person who eavesdrops. With his personality, he wouldn't do such a thing."

"Since you are all silent, let me start."
