Chapter 324

First, one must know the foundation of the Sect Treasury.

202. From now on, there is only one melody in Teyvat: Cultivation!

Liyue Harbor.

As the entire Shushan recovers to a stable cultivation period, and all the newly recruited inner and outer sect disciples enter the Scripture Library to choose techniques.

Those who were taken away in the morning are also sent back.

When they left, there were over 1. million people, and when they returned, there were still over 1. million.

All in all, they only recruited a fraction of the number of people who passed this assessment.

The cruel elimination rate shocks everyone.

Most of the people sent out are somewhat mentally dazed, standing in place, seemingly not having reacted to the fact that they have been eliminated.

Or, they do not want to accept reality.

Many others are kneeling on the ground, wailing loudly, having clearly collapsed because they were not selected.

A small minority just have gloomy expressions, somewhat disappointed, but looking back towards the direction of Jueyun Karst, the firm confidence in their eyes has not been broken.

If not this year, then next year!

If not next year, then the year after!

As long as one maintains confidence forever, one will not miss the opportunity to cultivate.

Having witnessed the power of cultivators, who can say a word of refusal?

Soon, the return of these people is noticed by Liyue Harbor.

Instantly, a massive crowd in Liyue Harbor rushes out, filling the already crowded wilderness.

The calls and shouts are incessant, but the most anxious ones are those waiting.

"A-Da! Where is my A-Da! How is A-Da?"

"Mother, I'm here! I'm sorry, I..."

"In that case, did the assessment fail? It doesn't matter, let's stay in Liyue Harbor and study martial arts properly, there will be opportunities in the future!"

"Cui'er, where is the Young Lady?"

"Madam! Master! Good news! Although the Young Lady didn't pass the outer sect assessment, she was successfully selected as a chore disciple and has stayed in Shushan!"

"Really? Good, good, good! A chore disciple is also a person of Shushan! My daughter is going to be a cultivator! Let's see who dares to say my daughter is weak in the future!"

"Cui'er, you've worked hard today, it doesn't matter, we'll go again next time, and then you can keep the Young Lady company in Shushan."

"Yes! Thank you, Madam!"

"Navik, did Leins pass?"

"Yes, that guy was lucky, he didn't pass the assessment either, but he was selected to stay in Shushan to learn martial arts, forget it, don't talk about him."

"You absolutely can't imagine how glorious Ms. Furina was in the assessment!"

"Really?! I knew it, our Hydro Archon must be the strongest!"

"Of course! In the Nine-Layer Heart-Questioning Array, out of over a million people, only Ms. Furina walked through all nine layers."

"It is said that the last one to walk through the nine layers was Mr. Baizhu, the genius alchemist of Shushan's Mt. Hulao."

"Ms. Furina is truly a peerless genius! Fontaine is blessed!"

"Speaking of which, I plan to go back and count my belongings, and then settle in Liyue Harbor. I plan to wait for Shushan to open the mountain again."

"If I don't cultivate, I really won't be able to die in peace!"

"Okay, let's go together!"

The calls and shouts rise one after another, and the family and friends left behind in Liyue Harbor look for their own people.

For a time, some are happy and some are sad.

But for the most part, there is some regret.

Those who can stay in Shushan are, after all, the minority.

Xingqiu and Chongyun's fathers stand together, waiting unhurriedly for the servant's reply.

After a while, the servant runs back, sweating profusely, his face an abnormal red from being squeezed out.

But his expression is one of irrepressible joy.

"Master! Great news!"

"The eldest young master, the second young master, and Young Master Chongyun have all joined Shushan!"

Hearing this, the two look at each other and laugh.

"I guessed this would happen a long time ago!"

Chongyun's father smiles and strokes his beard.

"If that guy Chongyun couldn't join Shushan, wouldn't it be a disgrace to his aunt?"

"But your two children also joined Shushan, Old Xing, I'm afraid your old bones will have to get up and manage the Feiyun Commerce Guild again."

Xingqiu's father is beaming and waves his hand.

"It doesn't matter, cultivation is the most important thing!"

After saying that, he looks at the servant and says:

"Do you know the specific situation?"

The servant nods and responds:

"The eldest young master joined the Shushan outer sect, but he is among the best in the outer sect. The second young master and Young Master Chongyun both joined the Shushan inner sect."

"I don't know which branch specifically, these people were sent back after the mountain worship ended."

Hearing this, Xingqiu's father pauses and says with some regret:

"Is that so? Yun'er didn't join the inner sect. Come to think of it, it's probably because I've dragged him down by making him manage the Feiyun Commerce Guild all these years."

The servant hurriedly comforts him:

"Master, don't be like this. I heard that chore disciples can be promoted to outer sect disciples, so I suppose outer sect disciples can also be promoted to the inner sect."

"With the eldest young master's talent, I suppose it won't be long before he can be promoted to the inner sect."

Hearing this, Xingqiu's father feels much better and happily throws a bag of Mora to the servant.

"You've worked hard, go back first."

The latter happily takes the Mora and leaves.

The two young masters of the Feiyun Commerce Guild joining Shushan is a great thing for employees like them.

In the future, the Feiyun Commerce Guild will have two cultivators as its backing.

"Alright, don't force it, it's pretty good as it is now."

Chongyun's father smiles and pats Xingqiu's father on the shoulder.

"I watched that child Yun'er grow up, his combat talent is indeed not as good as Xingqiu's, but he is smart in his conduct and is a leader among his peers everywhere."

"With his talent, he will soon be able to become an inner sect member."

"By then, your Old Xing family will have two Shushan inner sect disciples, it really is smoke rising from the ancestral grave."

Hearing this, Xingqiu's father rolls his eyes and retorts:

"There's no need to say such things, how can it compare to your family?"

"Chongyun joined the Shushan inner sect, and I heard that Shenhe is also being trained by the Shushan Sect Master as the next head of Mt. Hulao."

"Your family is the one with smoke rising from the ancestral grave."

Chongyun's father laughs and happily hooks his arm around Xingqiu's father's shoulder.

"Saying these things makes us strangers, let's go, have a couple of drinks? Find Chef Mao?"

"Sure! I'll slaughter you for a meal, your son has joined Shushan, there's no need to strictly guard the beast meat anymore, right? How about having some to taste?"

"Taste? That sounds terrible! Take one out! Today our two families will have a feast!"

"Good! It's a deal!"

The two happily take a large group of servants back to Liyue Harbor.

However, the General Affairs Office is a bit dizzy.

The moment these people returned, people from the General Affairs Office came to check.

Well...

Originally, only Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu were away.

Now it's even better.
