Chapter 227

"What happened to Miss Ganyu?"

Lady Ningguang shook her head, didn't say much more, kept her thoughts in her heart, turned around and said:

"Let's go, everyone; we are going to have another meeting."

Returning to the Jade Chamber, the Jade Chamber, which was already in a pleasant atmosphere because of various good things, was now even more joyful.

Uncle Tian and the others wished they could sing a few little tunes to be happy.

With the mountain opening in Liyue, those of them with average aptitude also had a chance to apprentice at Shushan.

Regarding the various wonders of cultivating immortality, they had heard far too much during this period.

Immortality, plucking stars and grasping the moon.

Not to mention the original immortals of Liyue and the Geo Archon, just look at Lady Ningguang and Miss Keqing before them.

Their strength was probably no weaker than the immortals of the past.

Simply based on Lady Ningguang's current mastery of the Tongtian Talisman, relying on the Tianxin Bell to clash with a demon god was not impossible.

Moreover, according to Lady Ningguang, her lifespan was now more than five hundred years.

Starting out by surpassing the end of martial arts, since one could cultivate immortality, why practice martial arts?

Now, the opportunity had arrived, and the Liyue Qixing naturally wanted to fight for it.

The path to immortality had never been so close; missing this mountain opening,

given the long lifespan of cultivators, I'm afraid they might not catch a second one in this lifetime.

Lady Ningguang naturally saw through everyone's thoughts at a glance and smiled:

"Colleagues, do not worry. Your own talents are not bad, and your will is firm; I presume there will be no problems."

Upon hearing this, Yaoguang smiled bitterly:

"That's not how you put it. No matter how we are, we are only mortals; how can we compare ourselves to cultivators using the standards of mortals?"

"Tianquan, your talent is excellent; you simply don't understand our nervousness."

Lady Ningguang shook her head with a smile and said softly:

"Bai Zhu of Bubu Pharmacy braved the Nine-Fold Heart-Questioning Array and was received by the Sect Master. The Sect Master claimed that Bai Zhu's heart for seeking the Dao is rare in a thousand years."

"Bai Zhu is now my junior brother. When he came out before, Bai Zhu also provided us with his experience in braving the Heart-Questioning Array."

"Although it may not be suitable for everyone, it will have some effect after all. I will give everyone a copy later."

"But this kind of thing can only be read by yourselves. After all, it concerns the Heart-Questioning Array. If it spreads too widely, Head Seat Seeing Zhongli might come out to hold us accountable."

The Liyue Qixing nodded with joy.

But Lady Ningguang and Miss Keqing smiled bitterly at each other.

The Heart-Questioning Array was a top-secret of Shushan; that was an array set up by Jiang Yan himself, and even Wendi couldn't see the reason behind it.

Bai Zhu's experience, to put it bluntly, was useless.

According to him, entering the Heart-Questioning Array would involve an absolute force that would make him forget everything about Shushan.

The so-called experience was just to give them some psychological comfort.

But Lady Ningguang felt that the will of the Liyue Qixing was fine.

If the Liyue Qixing could all cultivate immortality, then the future Liyue would be strong to an unimaginable degree.

As for the Liyue Qixing all apprenticing at Shushan, Liyue had almost become an affiliated state of Shushan.

This kind of thing didn't matter.

Shushan was transcendent and was a righteous sect that was a behemoth in the cultivation world.

In the past, there were countless countries that wanted to be affiliated with Shushan.

It could be considered lucky that Liyue had such an opportunity.

Shushan wouldn't care how Liyue developed.

Besides, Seeing Zhongli and all the immortals had already apprenticed at Shushan.

In fact, Liyue had long since become an affiliate of Shushan.

"Alright, let's talk about the Mountain Opening Ceremony."

Lady Ningguang clapped her hands and said in a deep voice:

"This is the first thing the Sect Master and Shushan have handed over to Liyue, and it is also the first major event after the revival of Shushan. Liyue must handle it beautifully."

"Otherwise, the Sect Master will be unhappy, and Head Seat Seeing Zhongli will be embarrassed."

Kaiyang's expression straightened, and he nodded:

"That is natural. Right now, everything must be put aside, and Liyue's top priority is Shushan's mountain opening to recruit disciples."

"All expenses will be borne by Liyue; this is also an opportunity for Liyue to show its strength."

"However, one month later, the Rite of Descension……"

Upon hearing this, Lady Ningguang frowned, and after thinking about it, she said softly:

"Head Seat Seeing Zhongli needs to supervise the Mountain Opening Ceremony at that time, so he probably won't have the heart to organize the Rite of Descension."

"Since Head Seat Seeing Zhongli didn't send me a message, I presume the mountain opening is still the priority."

"The Rite of Descension can be appropriately postponed. After the Mountain Opening Ceremony ends, Liyue will also have many cultivators."

"At that time, with a stronger Liyue, the Archon will also feel more at ease at the Rite of Descension."

Everyone listening also felt it was appropriate; the Rite of Descension happened every year, but Shushan's Mountain Opening Ceremony was hard to say.

"Regarding the preliminary selection of personnel, just as Miss Ganyu said."

Lady Ningguang said softly:

"Although Liyue is responsible for the preliminary screening, this is a major event for Shushan after all, so we cannot let Liyue people take all the assessments because of selfishness."

"However, according to Miss Ganyu, the Sect Master's intention should be to select one thousand people within Liyue."

"As for other countries, we will notify them, but they may not believe it, and on the other hand, sending messages back and forth and sending people over, one month is not enough time."

"Therefore, this time, we might as well focus on the entire Liyue territory and convey the news to everyone."

"Whether it is the people of Liyue or the people of other countries, as long as they are in Liyue and pass the assessment, we will send them into Shushan."

"This should be appropriate."

Everyone pondered for a moment and nodded.

"At the end of the day, our Liyue still has the advantage."

Miss Keqing smiled.

"The trend of cultivating immortality has spread throughout Liyue, and everyone has seen us riding swords in the past few days."

"The people of Liyue themselves have some understanding of cultivating immortality, and they are close by, so we still have the advantage."

Everyone smiled knowingly, and Uncle Tian added:

"Then how do we conduct the first batch of screening? What are the standards?"

Lady Ningguang was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"I will send a message for Lady Yelan to return and mobilize her forces to assess every person who signs up."

"The standard for Shushan disciples is not to accept those who commit crimes. The will of Shushan is to subdue demons and eliminate devils and uphold the righteous path."

"I think that as long as they meet these standards, they can participate in the assessment."

Kaiyang frowned slightly.

"In that case, it's a bit broad. If too many people are let in, will it……"

"Liyue only plays the role of preliminary screening; the actual recruitment is decided by the Sect Master."

Lady Ningguang shook her head and continued:

"Such standards are already our only choice."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped struggling and nodded in agreement with Lady Ningguang's proposal.

After discussing the most important matters, the next step was to discuss other details about the Mountain Opening Ceremony.

As time passed, the plan for preliminary screening and notification on the Jade Chamber side gradually improved.

137. Is Tartaglia also going to participate in the Mountain Opening Ceremony?

Two days had passed since Miss Ganyu notified Lady Ningguang and the others of Shushan's resolution to open the mountain.

Lady Ningguang and the others had also formulated the entire plan.

After instructing the other Liyue Qixing to be responsible for this mountain opening, Lady Ningguang and Miss Keqing returned to Shushan.

Jiang Yan had said that he would give more lectures during this period, and before opening the mountain, he wanted everyone's strength to improve a bit.

In addition, in the new week, they could learn other techniques again.
