Chapter 154

Ningguang saw that this matter had been resolved, and the last bit of concern in her heart dissipated.

In this way, she could prepare well for going to the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

Simply, she also bid farewell to Zhongli and flew to Tongtian Peak to see if she could exchange for some good things from the Merit Hall.

Xiao also flew out of Shushan again to fight demon gods.

Increasingly mastering the Flying Cloud Overlord Spear, Xiao's combat power was becoming more and more formidable.

Nowadays, he could easily fight against demon gods equivalent to the middle stage of Refining Qi into Spirit, and even had the upper hand.

And Zhongli, Venti, and others...

Now it can be said that they are sweeping across Teyvat.

Soon, only Lisa, Venti, and Zhongli were left here.

Lisa glanced at Venti, who leaned closer to Zhongli with a giggle.

"Old man, do you have any experience in creating martial arts secret manuals? I'll learn it too, and create some to send back to Mondstadt."

Zhongli glanced at him and said faintly:

"You want to know?"

Venti nodded repeatedly.

Although he could also create techniques now.

But his martial arts attainments were not as high as Zhongli's, and creating them was troublesome and a waste of time.

Venti didn't have the patience to do this kind of thing.

"Five thousand contribution points, I'll do it for you."

Zhongli said lightly.

Venti's expression froze, and he stared at Zhongli in disbelief.

"Five thousand! Are you robbing me!"

"Ningguang and the others entrusted me to create them for five thousand points; this is the rule."

Hearing this, Venti muttered with a crying face:

"Where can I find five thousand points! I haven't done any tasks, and my contribution points are still zero!"

It could be considered a novel way of tempering the heart.

On the vast Dragon Head Peak, only Venti remained, standing alone in the bleak, cold wind, lost in thought.

It looked rather desolate.

In the Sect Main Hall.

Jiang Yan had just finished his lecture for Klee.

This little one truly lived up to the name of a heaven-sent prodigy.

Despite having never been exposed to cultivation and never even having read a cultivation novel,

she understood every difficult question about cultivation the moment it was pointed out.

At this moment, a faint spark of Southern Brightness Li Fire was flickering at Klee's fingertips.

It looked as if it would go out with a puff of wind, but only those who truly knew the power of the Southern Brightness Li Fire understood.

This tiny wisp of flame could easily burn the entire city of Mondstadt to ashes.

The attainments in fire control required by the Red Emperor Heaven-Burning Art were difficult for ordinary cultivators to comprehend.

"Master, Klee can already make a little flame now."

Klee extinguished the flame at her fingertip and looked up at Jiang Yan with anticipation.

The latter smiled and said softly:

"Klee is naturally a peerless prodigy; to reach this stage in less than a week since entering the sect."

Klee immediately smiled even more happily, stood up, and looked at Jiang Yan with eager eyes.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh; Klee's routine meant she wanted a hug.

Opening his arms, Klee excitedly scrambled over on her short legs.

She burrowed into Jiang Yan's arms and rubbed against him.

"Master's arms are so comfortable! Klee likes them the most!"

Jiang Yan pinched Klee's cheek and said gently:

"We are going to the Nine Nether Secret Realm soon, and Master won't be able to stay by Klee's side to protect you then."

"You must be good and listen to Elder Alice and Head Zhongli and the others."

"Don't run around, and don't go blowing things up."

"If there is danger, what should Klee do?"

Klee quickly raised her hand and said:

"Klee knows! If there is danger, Klee will throw the jade tablet away and leave with Mommy and the others."

"After going in, I will never take off the clothes Master gave me, and I will never touch flowers or grass I don't recognize."

"Klee has memorized it all, Master, Klee is very obedient!"

Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction, patted Klee, and said:

"Alright, today's cultivation ends here; Klee can go out and play."

Hearing this, Klee's eyes immediately brightened.

"Master, can Klee go blow up fish down the mountain? The fish Klee blows up are super delicious; Klee wants to blow up a big fish for Master!"

Jiang Yan felt a warmth in his heart and ruffled Klee's hair.

"Go ahead, be careful, and when flying on your sword, you must not..."

"Must not throw bombs while flying on the sword! Klee knows!"

With that, Klee gave a cheerful shout, shouldered her little backpack, and ran off.

"Master! Klee is leaving! Goodbye, Master!"

The crisp, childish voice vanished from the main hall, and Jiang Yan shook his head with a smile.

Klee's pure heart was indeed well-suited for cultivation.

Her future achievements might be exceptionally high.

Jiang Yan reached out and tapped the void in front of him, and a water mirror appeared.

The situation, both large and small, within the Shushan Cave Heaven was displayed before him.

Alchemy furnaces exploding, watching Immortal Liuyun scolding while repairing the furnace, and Lishui acting subserviently.

Lisa flying leisurely on her sword outside the seven pulses.

Miss Shenhe, who was wholeheartedly immersed in the Seven Killings Order of Gods and Ghosts.

Venti, looking desperate and gloomy on Dragon Head Peak...

Jiang Yan checked the status of everyone remotely.

Compared to when they first entered the sect, they had all, to varying degrees, mastered some of the true combat methods of cultivators.

They could also use these methods to truly unleash the power of their true essence.

Even Lisa, whose progress was slow due to the nature of the Karma Fire Soul-Burning Art,

possessed the Sword Flight Art.

Furthermore, although the Karma Fire Soul-Burning Art was slow to cultivate, once the karma fire was condensed, it was a devastating blow to any life form.

Overall, everyone now possessed the strength that a true cultivator should have.

Calculating the time, Jiang Yan estimated that tomorrow would be the last day of the first week since Zhongli and the others joined Shushan.

Since that was the case, the exploration of the Nine Nether Secret Realm could not be wasted.

After some thought, Jiang Yan condensed his voice with true essence and transmitted it to the ears of all his disciples.

"All disciples, listen: tomorrow at noon, the first exploration of the Nine Nether Secret Realm will officially begin."

"All disciples must be fully prepared to face the first secret realm exploration in a state of complete readiness."

As his voice fell, after a moment of silence across Shushan, responses echoed one after another.

Lisa, who had been traveling outside Shushan, and Venti, who had been moping on Dragon Head Peak, also regained their focus.

Tomorrow was the first secret realm exploration.

The secret realm was extremely dangerous, unlike Teyvat, which was a place of perfect harmony in the eyes of cultivators.

There were many fierce beasts there.
