Chapter 371

"Although I've only cultivated for a short week, my family knows I'm cultivating, but I still have to go back and tell them in person."

"That's right! There are still some things that need to be arranged; only after arranging them can I cultivate with peace of mind."

"Sigh... my mother at home is not in very good health. Now that I am lucky enough to cultivate, I should naturally go back and adjust her body."

Many disciples were communicating excitedly, and there was a hint of satisfaction in Jiang Yan's eyes.

Shushan today already had a trend of great prosperity, which was not in vain for his hard work for so long.

After a while, seeing that Jiang Yan was about to speak again, Xiao mobilized his true essence and said in a deep voice:

"Disciples, silence!"

Xiao, as the first disciple of Dragon Head Peak, spoke, and the noisy sound stopped abruptly.

If you ask who these disciples fear the most in Shushan.

That would not be Jiang Yan.

After all, Outer Sect disciples couldn't see Jiang Yan, and Inner Sect disciples knew Jiang Yan had a gentle personality and was very good to them, so it was more of reverence.

But Xiao...

In the eyes of Shushan disciples, he was an impartial enforcer.

Even if the First Seat made a mistake, he dared to punish them according to the Law Enforcement Hall rules.

Xiao's reputation could stop children from crying in Shushan.

Xiao was quite satisfied with this.

Since he was the first disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, he had to shoulder the responsibility of monitoring Shushan.

Jiang Yan looked at Xiao and continued:

"This time when you go down the mountain, you disciples can return home in glory, but remember not to do evil things with your immortal cultivation body; otherwise, to the ends of the earth, Shushan will pursue and kill you to the end."

"Do not lose yourself to flattery and hypocritical praise; otherwise, you will not be able to shoulder heavy responsibilities."

"I know you have the intention to show off your immortal cultivation power in front of people, but you must stop when it is enough."

"Cultivating the Dao is not for you to become arrogant and look down on things."

"The long road to immortality has only just begun for you. If you become arrogant because of this, you are not worthy of being a Shushan disciple."

"After settling secular matters, return to Shushan as soon as possible to continue cultivation."

"Do you understand?"

Frankly speaking, Jiang Yan was just instructing the disciples that showing off was fine; he could understand.

Having finally been able to cultivate, how could they not show off properly?

However, showing off shouldn't be too much.

Immortal cultivation is about seeking the Dao, not about showing off.

Letting them go back this time was nothing more than visiting secular family members, settling secular affairs, and then coming back to cultivate properly.

After all, when they were at the Mountain Opening Ceremony before, they weren't sure if they could join Shushan.

Many things hadn't been arranged in time.

Only after arranging these things could they have the heart to cultivate properly.

"Disciples obey the Sect Master's decree."

The uniform shouting made Jiang Yan nod with satisfaction.

Then, Jiang Yan said again:

"After you return, in one month, the Nine Nether Secret Realm will reopen, and Shushan's first Secret Realm Exploration Conference will begin."

"In three months, the Shushan Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition will be held, and by then, the Inner and Outer Sect disciple ladder rankings will be released."

"Show off my Shushan immortal style."

"Disciples, remember, you must not let secular affairs affect your cultivation."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, looking forward to the subsequent Secret Realm Exploration Conference and the Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition, while also feeling a sense of urgency.

Not to mention anything else, for the Nine Nether Secret Realm exploration, if your strength was insufficient, you would just be beaten out after walking around inside.

That would be too embarrassing.

Seeing that everything that needed to be said had been said, Jiang Yan simply didn't let them continue wasting time here.

"You may pack your things and return to the secular world. Remember, do not indulge in the secular red dust."

"Disciples obey."

As the words fell, over a thousand streams of light scattered in all directions.

If you grabbed anyone at random, you could see the ecstasy on their faces.

Next, it was truly returning home in glory.

Jiang Yan was planning to go back to continue cultivation when he was suddenly stopped by Zhongli.

"Sect Master, I have a matter I would like to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan looked at Zhongli with interest and said softly:

"First Seat Zhongli, what is the matter? Is it the Demon-Locking Tower?"

Zhongli pursed his lips and shook his head:

"It is not the Demon-Locking Tower, nor is it a major matter."

"Since the Sect Master descended to Teyvat, you have been in Jueyun Karst, and subsequently, for the prosperity of Shushan, you have not left Shushan."

"Now that Shushan is gradually becoming prosperous, I think the Sect Master should also take a proper rest and relax."

"Although cultivation is important, I think that reaching the Sect Master's level, the state of mind is even more important."

"Why doesn't the Sect Master go to Liyue to tour and relax?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan fell silent for a moment.

Honestly speaking, since coming to Teyvat for so long, he had truly never left Jueyun Karst and this area of Shushan.

That is, he went to the Dark Sea and took a trip to the Quantum Sea.

But that was also to handle official business and catch some Outer Sect Elders.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Yan had indeed never gone to Teyvat with the mindset of leisure and relaxation.

Now that he was approaching Refinement of Void into Dao, constant hard cultivation hadn't made much progress either.

Relaxing was also a good idea.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

"Very well. When First Seat Zhongli's Rite of Descension is held, I will go to Liyue Harbor to observe the ceremony."

Upon hearing this, even Zhongli was a bit happy, and he cupped his hands:

"Many thanks, Sect Master. Since that is the case, I will take my leave to prepare. Before it is held, I will inform the Sect Master in advance."

After saying that, Zhongli turned into a rainbow light and left.

On Tongtian Peak, only Jiang Yan was left.

Looking at the beautiful scenery of Shushan, Jiang Yan felt a bit emotional.

Shushan today could be considered prosperous, and he should indeed take a rest.

Liyue Harbor...

It was time to go and see it.

By then, he could also take a walk with Ganyu and see the place where she had worked for thousands of years; Ganyu would surely be very happy too.

Jiang Yan chuckled, turned and entered the Sect Hall, the door closed with a boom, and Jiang Yan fell back into cultivation.

Returning to Teyvat this time, Ningguang and the others didn't have much interest.

After all, they had just gone back to take a look a few days ago, and the affairs in Liyue had all been arranged.

In one month is the Nine Nether Secret Realm exploration, and in three months is the Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition.

They still wanted to seize every moment to cultivate.

Tartaglia and the others had the same idea; Tighnari and Alhaitham didn't intend to go back.

Sumeru was a bit chaotic, unlike Mondstadt, Liyue, and other nations.

This kind of chaos involved internal political struggles, and for the time being, Tighnari and Alhaitham had no interest in getting involved.

Simply staying in Shushan to continue cultivation.

Tartaglia wanted to stay, but considering Zhongli's Gnosis was in his hand, and the Cryo Archon had already arrived in Liyue, she was probably waiting for him.

Tartaglia could only go and finish the matter with a bitter face.

Others also had their own plans.

But in any case...
