Chapter 367

Why on earth did they give him such a troublesome thing to do!

Thankless and exhausting—wasn't that exactly describing his current state?

But the Gnosis was already in hand, and Zhongli was clearly intending to force a sale; he wouldn't consider his thoughts.

That is to say...

The contract was already made; even if he, Tartaglia, died, he had to complete the contract before he could die.

Otherwise, Zhongli had plenty of ways to deal with him.

He was a powerhouse at the late stage of Refinement of Qi into Spirit.

He couldn't defy him at all.

Tartaglia was a bit depressed.

But since he couldn't shirk it, he would find a way to subcontract it.

Anyway, Rosalyne had nothing to do while staying in Liyue, so why not let her complete the final contract for him?

Who knew, Rosalyne might even be very happy to do it.

Zhongli was, after all, the Acting First Seat of Dragon Head Peak and a big shot in Shushan.

Being able to do things for him might leave an impression on Zhongli, and who knew, she might have a chance to join Shushan in the future.

The more Tartaglia thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, so he simply put the Gnosis away.

In a week, when he could leave Shushan, he would quickly throw this hot potato away.

232. The feeling of having relatives in Shushan, Chongyun: Suffocating!

Having resolved this little matter in his heart, Zhongli now felt refreshed.

After the Rite of Descension ended, he could finally cultivate with peace of mind and effort.

First, avenge Xuan Xing, and then break through to Refinement of Spirit returning to Void as soon as possible to resurrect his old friend.

These phased goals filled Zhongli with fighting spirit.

He wished he could immediately throw himself into a crazy cultivation life.

Besides that, he also had to save up contribution points for Liyue so that Liyue could exchange for the Investiture of the Gods as soon as possible.

He was also responsible for Dragon Head Peak and the Law Enforcement Hall.

Thinking about it, even after resolving Liyue's affairs, there were still quite a lot of things to do in Shushan.

However, these things were very novel to Zhongli, and he was very happy to do them.

"Since First Seat Zhongli has finished his business, I will add one last thing."

"The gifts from our ancestors, such as the Shushan Demon-Locking Tower and the Profound Underworld Small World, will return to Shushan at the hour of the Rat tonight."

"The Enlightenment Tea Tree and the Bodhi of Inquiry will be planted in the backyard of the Sect Hall."

"There might be some turmoil at the hour of the Rat tonight, so disciples need not panic."

"Besides that, First Seat Venti will make a trip later to notify the Outer Sect Elders and let them inform the Outer Sect disciples."

Having been given a task out of the blue, Venti was a bit helpless, but it was just a matter of passing on a message, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan closed his eyes slightly.

"Go. Disciples may leave. There is no rush for today's cultivation; you may communicate with your senior brothers and sisters."

"Learn more common knowledge about immortal cultivation."

"At sunrise tomorrow morning, the usual Shushan routine will resume. All disciples will attend morning class on time, and afterwards, I will give a lecture to all disciples of Shushan."

03 After saying this, Jiang Yan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ganyu.

The latter smiled tacitly with Jiang Yan.

Counting the time, it had been a long time since they had dual cultivated.

Ganyu was currently stuck at the peak of Refinement of Essence into Qi; with a proper push, she could break through to the Refinement of Qi into Spirit realm faster.

However, Ganyu's little expression was immediately seen by Miko and Furina, who had been paying attention to her.

Miko knew a lot, but Furina rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Recalling Ganyu's somewhat awkward expression when she asked about this matter before, as well as Miko's meaningful gaze,

suddenly, Furina seemed to have realized something.

Pursing her lips, Furina felt complex emotions.

There was a little disappointment, but more of it was relief.

Since Ganyu could do this, it meant...

Jiang Yan was not heartless and desireless, so she still had a great chance!

Comforting herself this way, Furina suddenly became a bit excited.

However, it was late, and Jiang Yan also needed to resume cultivation.

Everyone didn't linger in the Sect Hall anymore, and after saying goodbye to Jiang Yan, they left one after another.

Outside the hall, after Ningguang and the other veteran disciples congratulated the new disciples, they took the newcomers of their respective peaks back to the Seven Veins.

Next, they still had to choose their own Dao fields.

From now on, this would be the place where they cultivated, so they couldn't be careless.

Choosing a Dao field for Inner Sect disciples was still very simple.

Shushan's Seven Veins were towering and majestic, but there weren't many Inner Sect disciples, and the thousands of Outer Sect and chore disciples living below the mountainside weren't crowded.

With dozens of Inner Sect disciples living above the mountainside of the Seven Veins, how could it be crowded?

It was just a matter of choosing a Dao field that suited their tastes and wishes.

In less than half an hour, everyone had chosen their favorite Dao fields.

Xingqiu stood in his Dao field, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction.

This Dao field already had the atmosphere of an immortal cave in his mind.

If he could plant some spiritual herbs, it would be even more perfect.

He had actually heard Keqing and the others talk about spiritual herbs.

Except for particularly precious spiritual herbs that needed to be planted in spiritual fields, other less precious ones could be bought as seeds from the Merit Hall and planted by oneself.

However, few people bought them; after all, contribution points were scarce, and it wasn't worth the loss.

The main purpose of spiritual herbs was for alchemy; except for the disciples of Bamboo Peak who needed them, others basically bought pills directly.

But this had nothing to do with him.

Because his contribution points were currently zero.

He couldn't afford anything in the Merit Hall, let alone buying spiritual herbs as decorations.

Even the richest Ningguang couldn't afford such a luxurious style at the moment.

Thinking about it, it was better to just plant some flowers and grass.

With the nourishment of spiritual energy, they would become spiritual herbs sooner or later.

Pursuing aesthetics, he should be frugal where he could.

After dealing with these matters, Xingqiu had time to check his cultivation method and the flying sword that came as standard for Shushan disciples.

The cultivation method *Alluring City* naturally didn't need to be mentioned; it was mediocre when separated, and this method was destined to be bound to Chongyun.

However, the flying sword was very interesting.

Since he hadn't learned the Sword Control Art yet, this flying sword was the only sharp weapon that allowed him to experience the feeling of an immortal cultivator flying on a sword and soaring high in advance.

Carefully stepping on the sword, Xingqiu tentatively controlled the flying sword to float up.

This was the advantage of this standard flying sword.

Within Shushan, spiritual energy was abundant, so one could control it to fly casually.

There was no need to consume one's own true essence.

It was equivalent to Shushan issuing a basic means of transportation as soon as one joined.

The speed was indeed very fast, but compared to the speed of Keqing and the others who had mastered their own Sword Control Art—the speed of traveling to the North Sea in the morning and the Cangwu in the evening—it was still a bit inferior.

But Xingqiu was already very satisfied.

This was a flying sword, flying on a sword!

Something he often imagined existed in novels.

Now, he could easily realize it himself.

It could be considered a dream come true.

Controlling the flying sword, Xingqiu was carried away and indulged in flying near his Dao field.
