Chapter 45

Jiang Yan smiled, looked at everyone, and nodded slightly.

“It’s our first meeting, everyone. I’m sorry for not welcoming you from afar.”

In the sun, Jiang Yan’s figure seemed to be even more shining than the morning sun.

Ningguang and others looked up at him quietly.

This look, ten thousand years in a glance.

34. Liyue all fly on swords

Jiang Yan landed slowly, and the Summit Shaper under his feet moved flexibly away from his feet, circling around him.

Like a child asking for the favor of an elder.

Jiang Yan flicked the Summit Shaper lightly, and the Summit Shaper instantly calmed down, honestly floating behind Jiang Yan.

This scene made the Millelith behind look bright.

They finally understood why this trip was called visiting an immortal.

If this is not visiting an immortal, then what is an immortal?

I’m afraid that none of the immortals present have such style.

The Millelith immediately stood tall, intending to give this immortal a good impression of the Millelith.

Watching from a close distance, Jiang Yan didn’t seem to have anything different.

It’s just that his temperament is particularly extraordinary. At a glance, anyone would say he is not a person of the mortal world.

His face is gentle with a faint smile, and the purple-gold cloud pattern between his brows highlights a bit of nobility.

Especially those eyes, as if they were as gorgeous as sinking into a sea of stars.

Ganyu’s cheeks became hot again.

Ningguang and Keqing were also somewhat distracted.

Zhongli looked at the well-behaved Summit Shaper floating behind Jiang Yan and smiled:

“It seems you use this sword very smoothly.”

“Naturally.”

Jiang Yan smiled.

“Thank you for being willing to part with it.”

“It’s not worth mentioning, this sword can have greater value only if it follows you.”

Zhongli responded with a smile.

The Summit Shaper instantly flew away from behind Jiang Yan and floated in front of Zhongli, flying up and down for a while.

The intuition in the dark told Zhongli that this sword was thanking him.

A sword…

So humanized?

Zhongli was somewhat surprised.

Jiang Yan smiled:

“I re-refined the Summit Shaper last night. Although it didn’t increase much strength, it can be considered to have opened its wisdom.”

“For now, it can be called a low-grade spirit weapon.”

Zhongli nodded thoughtfully.

Low-grade spirit weapon…

It seems to be a weapon used by their cultivators.

Just don’t know how it compares to magic treasures.

Zhongli still heard Jiang Yan talk about magic treasures yesterday.

However, he didn’t ask anything for the time being.

Carefully feeling the Summit Shaper, Zhongli felt somewhat complex in his heart.

Didn’t increase much?

This guy could easily cut his Vortex Vanquisher!

Is this what Jiang Yan called, simply refining it?

Then why not…

Also simply refine it for him?

Complaining is complaining, but he didn’t say it after all.

Jiang Yan looked at everyone.

He smiled, made a Taoist ritual,

“Fellow Daoists, it’s our first meeting. I am Jiang Yan, Sect Leader of Shushan. Just call me Jiang Yan.”

“It’s not appropriate to talk here. The mountains are high and the roads are long. If you don’t mind, let me give you a ride?”

Ganyu took the lead.

“Is it convenient, Jiang Yan? There are so many of us.”

Jiang Yan shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter, as long as Cloud Retainer doesn’t mind her residence being disturbed.”

Cloud Retainer shrugged, indicating it was fine.

With Cloud Retainer’s consent, Jiang Yan didn’t hesitate anymore, pointing like a sword, whispering softly.

“Sword, come.”

In an instant, the many lost sharp blades scattered in Jueyun Karst broke through space and uniformly floated beside everyone.

The Summit Shaper also obediently returned to Jiang Yan’s feet.

Jiang Yan smiled:

“Don’t panic, just step on the flying sword, you won’t fall.”

Zhongli looked at the flying sword at his feet with interest, and didn’t hesitate, stepping on it decisively.

Flying on a sword…

Although he could fly himself, flying on a sword was truly a novel experience.

As soon as he stepped on the flying sword, Zhongli felt that the flying sword under his feet seemed to be one with him.

There was no risk of falling.

An invisible barrier also appeared around his body, blocking the gale.

Seeing Zhongli go up, everyone naturally didn’t hesitate.

One by one, they curiously stepped on the sword, especially those Millelith.

This is flying on a sword. If you don’t say it, this might be the only chance in this lifetime.

If this is said, wouldn’t others be envious to death?

It’s a pity that although the flying sword can lift them, it is ultimately controlled by Jiang Yan.

They can’t fly as they wish.

However, Keqing felt it was very interesting.

Jiang Yan said she was a Sword Body.

If she also starts cultivating immortality…

Maybe she can easily learn this method of flying on a sword.

“Then let’s go.”

Seeing that everyone was standing firm, Jiang Yan didn’t drag his feet anymore, decisively manipulating many flying swords to fly toward the top of the mountain.

Except for the immortals, this was the first time Ningguang and the others traveled through Jueyun Karst by flying.

The scenery along the way was beautiful, just the sea of clouds that automatically cleared the way was enough to brag about for a lifetime.

It’s a pity that they couldn’t control the flying sword freely, otherwise they could have gone to see other places more.

The speed of the flying sword was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, they arrived at Jueyun Karst.

As the Summit Shaper automatically returned to behind Jiang Yan, other flying swords also separated after everyone landed and returned to the foot of Jueyun Karst.

Watching everyone look amazed and still not recovered.

Jiang Yan smiled lightly:

“I was the same when I flew on a sword for the first time. The scenery along the way is all in my eyes.”

"The Shushan Sword Sect is famous for its swords, so even if we can fly without flying swords, we still use flying swords on weekdays."

"Later, we even researched special flying swords engraved with arrays to increase flight speed."

"However, these are just some ordinary swords that have been abandoned. Now that they can carry everyone to fly, it can be considered making the best use of everything."

Hearing this, everyone came back to their senses.

Although Keqing still felt it was very magical, this experience of flying on a sword was truly rare.

However, if she could cultivate in the future, flying on a sword would also become her means.

Keqing was very confident in her Sword Body.

"Stepping on a flying sword and shuttling through the void is truly high-spirited, quite like a true immortal."

Liuyun nodded in admiration, and then said regretfully:

"In this way, it is us who call ourselves immortals, flying in our true forms, who are inferior."

Jiang Yan shook his head slightly.

"Liuyun, there is no need to belittle yourself so much. In Teyvat, you are immortals after all."

Liuyun gave a wry smile and did not answer.

Keqing on the side also let the Millelith disperse.

Although it was impossible for anything to happen in Jueyun Karst, the attitude should be there.

Jiang Yan looked at the original stone table, obviously it was not suitable for so many people to sit.

So he pointed his hand, and the stone table began to grow like grass and trees.

Not long after, it grew to a size that allowed everyone to sit down, and by the way, many stone chairs appeared.

Even though they had seen many magical methods of cultivation just now, this method of letting stones grow.

It was still an eye-opener for everyone.

However, seeing Jiang Yan’s indifferent look, thinking it was not a magical move, everyone gave up the idea of asking.

Liuyun sat on the chair, looked around, and asked curiously:

"Jiang Yan, didn't you say that you have already built the Shushan Cave Heaven? Where is it deposited?"

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered, and said apologetically:

"Sorry, I almost forgot to tell you. Yesterday, I was eager to rebuild Shushan, so I built the Shushan Cave Heaven near your mansion, Liuyun."

"If you feel it is inconvenient, I can move the entrance of the Cave Heaven. Anyway, the entrance of the Shushan Cave Heaven is very convenient to move."

"However, I need Miss Ningguang and you to help find a suitable location."

Hearing this, Ningguang was overjoyed.

A suitable location...

Considering the magical degree of Jiang Yan’s morning classes every day, she wished the entrance of the Shushan Cave Heaven could be placed in Liyue.

However, before she could speak, Liuyun said:

"I don't think it’s troublesome. Placing it near my cave is also convenient for me."

"I can hear your morning classes every day."

"And, Jueyun Karst is remote, and no one will disturb it. For you cultivators, it should be better to be quiet."

Ningguang was a little regretful.

Her little abacus was afraid it had failed.

35. Are you ready to join Shushan?

"Since you don't mind, Liuyun, that’s naturally the best. We can still be neighbors."

Jiang Yan smiled and looked at Ningguang and the others.

"I noticed you when you arrived under Jueyun Karst just now, and you looked a bit tired."

"I suppose it was because my movement yesterday was too big, which made you a bit troubled?"

Ningguang waved her hand with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang Yan, what are you talking about? Even without yesterday’s incident, our daily work would be very tiring. It’s nothing more than dealing with a little more or a little less."

Jiang Yan pondered slightly. He never wanted to cause trouble for others.

Convenience for others is convenience for oneself.

It’s just that the tribulation yesterday was not something he could control.

If he had to say, the system was already restrained enough.

Otherwise, the entire Teyvat would be gone.

Jiang Yan wouldn't say this kind of thing, just looked up after a while:

"No matter what, this matter is my problem after all, and I will give the due compensation."

Ningguang was silent for a moment, pursed her lips, and said softly:

"Mr. Jiang Yan is too polite. We came here today to represent ourselves, to represent Liyue, and to make friends with Mr. Jiang Yan."

"But since it has come to this point, I... want to represent Liyue and make a deal with Mr. Jiang Yan."

Jiang Yan laughed, looking at the faint light flickering in Ningguang’s eyes.

He could understand why Ningguang would suddenly say such a deal.

From the perspective of the Jade Chamber, she is the great merchant Ningguang, and how many people under her rely on her to eat.

From the perspective of Tianquan Star, she is one of the controllers of Liyue, carrying the life of the people of Liyue on her shoulders.

She has never been able to consider her own interests first.

He appreciates Ningguang’s sense of responsibility very much.

So, Jiang Yan said frankly:

"Miss Ningguang doesn't need to be tactful. Before I recovered my strength, it was Liuyun and Ganyu who protected me, and it was Liyue who took me in."

"Coupled with the fact that Liyue’s style is similar to my Shushan, I have a good impression of Liyue."

"You can just say what you need."

Hearing this, Liuyun looked at Ningguang with some annoyance.

In her heart, Ningguang was calculating this and that again.

Now, even Jiang Yan, a new friend, and a new friend with terrible strength, had to be calculated.

What if people are unhappy?

However, Zhongli understood Ningguang’s thoughts and coughed gently, letting Liuyun calm down.

Ningguang pursed her lips and said slowly:

"Mr. Jiang Yan, can you let the Millelith and some Liyue powerhouses flow and guard here?"

As soon as the words fell, Liuyun couldn't help it.

"Presumptuous! Ningguang! What is your intention in sending people to guard here?"

Zhongli frowned slightly, somewhat worried about Liuyun’s violent temper.

But this time, before Zhongli could help, Ningguang looked at Jiang Yan and explained:

"Please rest assured, we will never spy on you, nor do we intend to monitor you. With your strength, our little means are useless."

"It’s just that your morning classes every day, Mr. Jiang Yan, we have experienced it personally. For the Emperor, for the immortals, for the Vision wielders, for ordinary people."

"Even for the mountain forests, wild beasts, swimming fish, and flying birds, it has a very strong effect."

"We need this hard-won strengthening."

"Liyue needs a stronger army. I swear in the name of Tianquan Star that the Millelith stationed here has no intention of monitoring you. If this oath is violated..."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yan interrupted Ningguang decisively.

"Alright, don't make oaths casually, especially in front of me."

Ningguang was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused.

Jiang Yan said helplessly:

"Miss Ningguang, do you know that every cultivator is a seeker of the Dao, and the Dao is around us."

"Cultivators are most afraid of making oaths casually. If they break their oaths, they will easily be backlashed. At best, they will be seriously injured and their cultivation will fall, and at worst, they will completely become cripples, or even die and disappear."

"Even if you are not a cultivator at the moment, what is the difference between swearing to me and swearing to the Dao?"

"So... not just you, Miss Ningguang, everyone must not make oaths casually in front of me in the future."

"If you start cultivating, you must remember that oaths must never be made casually. Once made, even if you go through fire and water, you must realize them."

"Otherwise, what awaits you is an encounter more painful than death." ===== CHAPTER 49 =====
