Chapter 273

"Good! It's worth celebrating. When you join Shushan in the future, there will be someone to look after you. Good thing!"

"Tonight, pick a fierce beast and find someone to cook it; let's celebrate for your aunt! Let's also taste the flavor of this fierce beast!"

Chongyun's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said:

"Why not find Xiangling and Chef Mao? Wanmin Restaurant's craftsmanship has always been exquisite, and Xiangling also said she wanted to try how to cook fierce beasts."

Chongyun's father naturally wouldn't refuse; their family's relationship with Wanmin Restaurant had always been quite good.

Besides that, there was the Feiyun Commerce Guild.

"Go and notify the Feiyun Commerce Guild as well; you went to Jueyun Karst alone before, and Xingqiu was worried to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people hurried over.

"Many thanks to Uncle Chong for still thinking of me, but Xingqiu has already come uninvited."

169. If Qiqi has inner demons, they must look like Hu Tao

Hearing this, everyone turned to look, and a large group of people from the Feiyun Commerce Guild had already arrived.

Xingqiu walked quickly to Chongyun and looked him over, marveling.

"You are quite lucky; I had already called people to prepare to save you, but I didn't expect that not only are you fine, but you also harvested so many fierce beasts."

"It seems that this Jueyun Karst is not an absolute forbidden area."

Chongyun gave a wry smile.

"What are you talking about! It's all thanks to Qiqi; otherwise, I would have ended up like the corpses Qiqi drove."

"I encountered dozens of Foundation Establishment early-stage fierce beast wolves this time, and the wolf king was an existence at the Foundation Establishment mid-stage."

"That place is extremely dangerous; if it weren't for my good luck, I would have lost my life long ago."

Chongyun's father glared at him with dissatisfaction.

"It also lets you learn a lesson; do you think the General Affairs Office would lie to you?"

Chongyun scratched his cheek guiltily and didn't dare to continue saying anything.

Xingqiu's father looked at their fierce beasts with some envy and sighed:

"Old Chong, you really gave birth to a Qilin son; with so many fierce beasts, I'm afraid you can improve your strength quite a bit."

"After martial Dao spreads in the future, your family can also be at the forefront."

"Speaking of which, are you selling these fierce beasts?"

Chongyun's father laughed.

"If it were anyone else, naturally I wouldn't sell them. However, given the relationship between our two families, it doesn't matter, but these are Chongyun's spoils of war, so let Chongyun decide."

Hearing this, Chongyun scratched his cheek and said softly:

"I was just lucky, but if Uncle Xing wants them, I can give you one."

"No need to give."

Xingqiu's father shook his head with a smile.

"The Feiyun Commerce Guild will purchase five fierce beasts at a price of 50 million each, and will also gift you some jade to preserve the fierce beast meat."

"Also, I asked someone to inquire with the General Affairs Office; these fierce beasts are troublesome to dismantle, but they are treasures all over and cannot be wasted."

"The utilization methods for blood, internal organs, fur, bones, etc., are also gifted to you."

"How about it?"

Chongyun's father stroked his beard and smiled:

"That would be best, but let's talk about these things tomorrow. I'll send someone to call Chef Mao and Xiangling."

"Tonight, come to my place; we'll eat some fierce beast meat and drink some wine to catch up."

"Old Xing, let's celebrate; Chongyun's aunt has already joined Shushan and is now being cultivated by the Sect Master as the next Little Bamboo Peak Head."

Xingqiu's father was surprised.

"That disciple of Cloud Retainer, Miss Shenhe? Then we really have to go and share some of the glory."

"Who knows, maybe it can bless these two of mine to join Shushan during the Mountain-Opening Ceremony."

"By then, I'm afraid I'll have to ask Miss Shenhe to help look after them."

Chongyun's father smiled and put his arm around the other's shoulder.

"We'll talk about that later. I heard that Shushan has strict discipline, and the Law Enforcement Hall is controlled by the Emperor, with many rules."

"I'm afraid we can't practice favoritism, but Shenhe should be able to give them some guidance."

Xingqiu's father nodded with a smile.

"That's enough. After all, we don't understand cultivating immortality; we have to rely on the young people to venture out on their own."

The group of people talked and laughed, dragging the fierce beast meat toward Chongyun's house.

In the shadows, a shadow flowed like water and disappeared without a trace.

Northland Bank, third floor.

Tartaglia and Rosalyne were flipping through cultivation novels.

Not long after, a debt collector appeared, leaned into Tartaglia's ear, and whispered a few words.

Tartaglia raised an eyebrow and let the other party retreat.

He looked at Rosalyne with a hint of teasing and joked:

"Thanks to you being honest, otherwise, something would have really happened this time."

"That Chongyun's aunt, Shenhe, is not only a disciple of Cloud Retainer but has now joined Shushan."

"She is also the next Little Bamboo Peak Head designated by the Shushan Sect Master."

Rosalyne paused in her book-flipping and said calmly:

"I didn't intend to take action anyway. Liyue today is like a bottomless lake, and I don't know how many amazing monsters are hidden in it."

"Moreover, there are less than twenty days left until the Mountain-Opening Ceremony; there is no need to cause trouble at this juncture."

Tartaglia shrugged and added:

"You've seen a cultivator, right? How does it feel?"

"... nfathomable."

Rosalyne sighed somewhat despondently.

"That trace of aura that Qiqi accidentally revealed while cultivating made me feel as if I saw the way the Jester strikes."

"There was no ability to resist at all; facing the other party, there was only a sense of submission from the bottom of my heart; that was the oppression of the life level."

"The methods are also completely unlike Teyvat; there is no elemental energy, and they are strange and curious—corpse-driving, flying sword..."

"Cultivating immortality is truly too mysterious..."

It's just a pity I didn't pass the assessment!

Rosalyne didn't say this sentence, but her knuckles, which were clenched white, couldn't hide it from Tartaglia.

The latter shook his head helplessly.

"When I join Shushan, I will find an opportunity."

"I hope so."

Rosalyne nodded nonchalantly.

"In the short term, I will be stationed in Liyue. Your plan to cultivate immortality is the top priority, but the collection of the Gnosis cannot be put down."

"The Geo Archon is now serving as the acting head of the Dragon Head Peak in Shushan; when the time comes, you will have to go and talk to him."

Tartaglia curled his lips.

He really couldn't understand why, when there was such a broad path as cultivating immortality, they had to find the Gnosis.

Could it be that the Gnosis was stronger than cultivating immortality?

"The Tsaritsa is rectifying domestic affairs; after it stabilizes a bit, she will come in person. When the time comes, you find a way to introduce the Tsaritsa and the Geo Archon."

"I hope to get on the line with Shushan."

Rosalyne mentioned it again, and Tartaglia paused and nodded slightly.

"Understood."

The large Northland Bank was left with only the sound of frequent book-flipping.

But hidden beneath the sound of turning pages was a heart tide as noisy as surging waves.

On the other side, Qiqi, who ran away in a panic after meeting Hu Tao, also returned to Shushan.

Landing on Tongtian Peak, she ran quickly toward the top of the mountain with her short legs.
