Chapter 2

His gaze turned back to Ganyu. The little Qilin didn't know what she was thinking; her cheeks were flushed with red clouds, and she looked shy and timid.

This actually surprised Jiang Yan a little.

Could it be that the *Huang Ting Jing* had this kind of effect?

As for Shenhe...

Well, for so many days, Jiang Yan's interactions with her could be counted on one hand, and furthermore, Shenhe seemed to be deliberately avoiding him due to her own issues.

Jiang Yan wasn't about to shamelessly force himself on someone and make things uncomfortable.

His chanting of the Huang Ting gradually reached the Bathing Chapter, the final chapter.

Ganyu and the others also perked up, and even lazily stretched.

Just as Jiang Yan thought, the three, who knew he was a visitor from outside the heavens, only regarded the *Huang Ting Jing* that Jiang Yan chanted every day during this period...

As the daily required homework for someone from his world.

As for understanding...

Sorry, even if they followed along, they couldn't understand it.

However, the sound of this chanting was indeed very soothing to the heart, and the three considered this a form of spiritual massage.

Hmm...

They were actually quite looking forward to, and even quite liked, this segment.

However, Ganyu actually came with a mission today.

She wanted to take Jiang Yan to Liyue Harbor. After all, no matter what, there was no benefit for a mortal to be near immortals, and furthermore, Shenhe was ultimately still not used to interacting with people.

Jiang Yan was also a visitor from outside the heavens and would always have special talents; Liyue naturally wouldn't mind being tolerant in using people.

What's more, they had chatted with Jiang Yan for over three months and had indeed seen his unrestrained and imaginative ideas.

Especially regarding the national structure of Liyue, he seemed very familiar with it, and many of his suggestions had helped Ganyu a lot.

He needed Jiang Yan to exert his talents in Liyue.

Of course, these were objective factors.

If one were to speak of subjective factors...

Ganyu wanted to bring Jiang Yan under her command; as for what ideas she had, that was a more personal matter.

Seeing that Jiang Yan was about to finish his daily homework, Ganyu's eyes grew brighter.

She secretly clenched her fists, which counted as cheering herself on.

When they chatted later, she must trick... bring Jiang Yan to Liyue Harbor.

Only there could he truly exert his real talents!

Distracted for a moment, she noticed that Jiang Yan had completely finished today's homework.

Ganyu's face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly stood up, intending to pull Jiang Yan over to sit.

Suddenly, she was astonished to find that purple Qi, stretching as far as the eye could see, was condensing between heaven and earth, and there was even a faint scent of aged wood and pine that brought peace of mind.

Cloud Retainer and Shenhe were also moved and hurriedly stood up, standing in front of Jiang Yan together with Ganyu.

The latter calmly closed his eyes, his Daoist robe fluttering without wind, and golden light wrapped around him like a thin film.

The medium-length black hair he had grown over the past three months now seemed to have been injected with hormones, growing to his waist at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Endless purple Qi from the horizon condensed and drilled into the top of Jiang Yan's head.

This scene made Ganyu feel extremely panicked.

"Rest assured, this immortal can feel that it doesn't seem to be harmful to him."

Cloud Retainer comforted her in a gentle voice, and Ganyu nodded silently, only clenching her fists tighter.

The three did not notice that in the shadows under a tree not far away, a man with a tall and straight figure had arrived here silently.

He was quietly gazing into the distance, or to be precise, gazing at Jiang Yan.

But all of this had nothing to do with him.

The endless purple Qi completely entered his body, and under everyone's eyes, a delicate pale-golden rune condensed between Jiang Yan's eyebrows.

It was an ingeniously complex structure that was hard to describe; at the very least, Cloud Retainer couldn't tell what it was.

She only felt that it seemed to hide some mysterious and unfathomable power.

Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes, and after the purple Qi lingered for a moment, it hid into the depths of his eyes.

"Jiang Yan! How are you? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?"

Ganyu looked at him with some worry, but since a thin layer of golden light had not yet completely dissipated from Jiang Yan's body, she didn't dare to step forward rashly.

"Ganyu..."

Jiang Yan's gaze was gentle, quietly gazing into Ganyu's eyes.

After a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Thanks for your concern, I am... better than ever."

On the bright golden system panel that only he could see, the true name that the system had been hiding finally bloomed like ink.

"Dao-Preaching Immortal Cultivation System."

The name was simple and crude, very clearly and explicitly indicating the system's positioning.

Jiang Yan didn't know how other systems were, but anyway, his system was simple and crude; other than the name, it was just tasks...

To put it bluntly, it didn't even have a shop.

Jiang Yan didn't care much, and his gaze looked downward.

"Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will reveal itself."

"Quietly chant the Huang Ting for a hundred days and a hundred words; the Dao cultivated by the state of mind merges with heaven."

"Reward: The actual cultivation realm of the *Huang Tingyu Scripture* is synchronized with the state of mind, currently at the Small Success stage;"

"Spells: Sword Control Art, Golden Light Incantation, Divine Sword Art of Controlling Thunder."

"Basic True Explanation of Cinnabar Dao, Basic True Explanation of Artifact Refining, Basic True Explanation of Talismans, Basic True Explanation of Spells."

Feeling the surging immortal power and true essence flowing in his body like a great river.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath.

There really is a truth in the world that a dragon changes when it encounters wind and clouds.

Just like right now, he knew...

From now on, he, an immortal cultivator who transmigrated to Teyvat.

Was invincible!

(No more slacking off! I've started a new book, my dear parents, a new book from an old author, please give me flowers and ratings!)

2. Thanks for the invite, I'm in Liyue, preparing to undergo the Tribulation.

What level is the Immortal Dao treasure *Huang Tingyu Scripture*?

On this point, even after quietly chanting the Huang Ting for a hundred days, Jiang Yan couldn't figure it out; he only knew that this thing could lead to immortality, and not just a simple immortality.

Furthermore, just by quietly chanting the Huang Ting, one could feel a sense of comfort and peace from the soul.

So what realm is the Small Success stage of the *Huang Tingyu Scripture*?

On this point, Jiang Yan could still easily see it from the system panel.

Late stage of Refining Spirit and Returning to Void...

A realm on the verge of the ultimate human Dao in the Daoist immortal cultivation system.

Just one step away, he could break into Refining Void and Merging with Dao, and begin preparing for ascension to become a truly immortal being who never ages.

That kind of immortal is different from the concept of immortals in Teyvat.

Immortal and ageless, undying and indestructible.

Immune to all laws, untainted by all evil.

Plucking stars and grasping the moon, moving mountains and overturning seas.

Living as long as the heavens, existing alongside the Dao.

The ultimate of technique is law, and the ultimate of law is immortality.

It sounds like the Archons of Teyvat might also be able to do this.

But...

Jiang Yan knew that he, as he was now, could already transcend this world.

To be precise, the existence of Refining Spirit and Returning to Void should really be tossing about in the Sea of Quanta.

After all, the worlds of the Sea of Quanta and the Imaginary Tree are the true core areas of the plane universe. ===== CHAPTER 3 =====
