Chapter 244

"Many thanks, Sect Master."

Jiang Yan raised his hand slightly and continued:

"Have there been any special circumstances inside and outside Shushan these past few days?"

Ningguang thought for a moment and shook her head:

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the interior of Shushan is peaceful, except for the appearance of many more fierce beasts, which has forced many Archon's followers to leave their territories to seek shelter."

"There is also the matter of the spirit mines... The spirit mines are of great importance, so we dare not mine them at will for the time being."

Jiang Yan nodded and smiled:

"You did very well. I only told you to temporarily set up arrays to protect the surroundings of the spirit mines, not to mine them, because mining spirit mines is dangerous."

"In the cultivation world, many spirit mines contain many special spiritual materials."

"If you don't prepare in advance for these spiritual materials, not only will you be unable to mine them, but there will also be life-threatening dangers."

"Like the Heaven and Earth Golden Silk; if you accidentally stray into the range of the golden silk, it is very easy to be entangled and strangled."

"I will notify you of the mining method after I inspect the specific situation of the spirit mines."

"This matter can also be slightly delayed; wait until the mountain-opening disciples join, and then issue it as a task."

"By then, the Merit Hall can also be completely on the right track."

Ningguang nodded and added:

"Sect Master, regarding the matter of Shushan opening the mountain, Liyue has also fully promoted it."

"Currently, the news of cultivating immortality has spread throughout Liyue, and intelligence agencies in other countries are also spreading it."

"I presume that within a month, the entire Teyvat will know, but there might not be many who come."

Jiang Yan shook his head slightly.

"There is no need to force it; let nature take its course. Everything is fate."

"Yes."

Ningguang cupped her hands and added:

"Currently, there are more than 340,000 people who have signed up, and even if we eliminate those with poor character according to Shushan standards, there are still more than 40,000."

"A month later, there might be nearly a million people."

"Sect Master, with so many people joining our Shushan, will it..."

Jiang Yan's gaze was calm; he was not surprised by this number.

"It's only nearly a million people; the Shushan world can bear it."

"What's more, although you all have excellent talent, compared to the whole world, those with talent like yours are ultimately few and far between."

"In my opinion, among nearly a million people, those with qualified aptitude are probably less than ten thousand."

"Those who can pass the Heart-Questioning Array are even fewer."

"Do not worry, but these nearly a million people cannot all stay in Shushan."

"How to handle it by then, you can discuss it yourselves."

Ningguang cupped her hands and agreed.

Jiang Yan also asked about everyone's recent cultivation and the development of the side sects.

Finally, he reminded everyone again that he would lecture on the Dao every day for this month, striving to raise everyone's strength by a level by then.

Everyone was naturally overjoyed at this.

After chatting about these things, Jean and the others finished their conversion and opened their eyes one after another.

It could be seen that they were very excited about truly stepping onto the path of immortality.

At this moment, they were constantly condensing true essence and feeling the changes in their strength.

Everyone was not surprised.

Stepping onto the path of cultivating immortality all at once; it would be strange if they could remain indifferent.

Jiang Yan swept his divine sense and instantly understood everyone's position.

Jean, Diluc, and Kaeya were all in the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi; as for who was stronger, it was probably Jean.

Barbara, on the other hand...

Jiang Yan couldn't help but take another look.

This little girl's talent was good, and her mindset passed the test, but perhaps it was because she didn't cultivate elemental energy much before.

Barbara was the one who didn't reach the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi after the first conversion.

Besides Barbara, there was also Paimon; this little one was the same.

However, Lumine and Paimon could not be calculated the same as everyone else.

Both of them were very mysterious.

Jiang Yan could see at a glance that Lumine and Paimon at their peak were probably at least at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit, and even Refining Spirit into Void was not impossible.

For the two of them, cultivating immortality would not have any bottlenecks before recovering their peak strength.

All they had to do was accumulate strength and refine true essence.

Jiang Yan felt that the first one to break through to Refining Spirit into Void in the future would be either Lumine or Paimon.

Lecturing on the Dao for this month, Jiang Yan was 100% sure that Lumine could break through to the middle stage of Refining Essence into Qi.

It was estimated that many people would be hit hard by this.

"The Vision is indeed useless..."

Jean looked at the completely dimmed Vision, feeling somewhat melancholy for a moment.

In any case, this thing had accompanied her for a long time, and now that it was broken, she still felt some regret.

"External objects, how can they be compared with the Dao of immortality? It's just a mere Vision."

Diluc's mindset changed quite quickly; he decisively took off his Vision and threw it into his pocket.

Only by truly starting to cultivate immortality can one understand how fragile the elemental energy system is.

And now, they didn't even have a single spell.

The future is promising!

Diluc was excited in his heart, but looking at Jean and Kaeya, this excitement calmed down a bit.

He had originally thought that even after conversion, his strength would be the strongest.

But now...

Lumine aside, she had a Glazed Sword Heart; even if Diluc didn't want to admit it, he had to accept that her strength was strong enough.

But Jean and Kaeya, who usually performed ordinarily, were actually so strong after conversion?

Although they were all in the same realm, Diluc felt that Jean's true essence was thicker than his, and Kaeya, this usually frivolous guy, was actually not worse than him.

Everyone is really hiding a hand!

Although he also hid a Delusion, the power of the Delusion was not his own and could not be converted.

Diluc couldn't help but feel a bit melancholy.

"Many thanks to the Sect Master for teaching the Dharma!"

Everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly cupped their hands to thank him; Jiang Yan shook his head slightly.

"Just cultivate diligently in the future."

"Disciples obey!"

Jean and the others replied, and after hesitating for a moment, Jean still couldn't help but ask:

"Sect Master, Barbara's current realm..."

Others also looked over with curiosity.

Barbara and Paimon's current strength realm was something they had never seen before.

Not reaching Refining Essence into Qi, but they did have power.

It seemed that what Jiang Yan said before, that most Vision holders' strength didn't even reach Refining Essence into Qi, had been successfully verified.

Although there are only four major realms in cultivating immortality, it seems that not everyone can become an existence of Refining Essence into Qi as soon as they cultivate.

Jiang Yan focused his gaze on Barbara, and immediately, Barbara became nervous, lowering her head and clutching the corner of her clothes.

She knew that her strength was average and didn't meet the Shushan disciple standard at all; now that Jiang Yan was looking over, she felt a bit guilty.

"Barbara and Paimon's stage, according to the cultivation world's saying, should be the Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment stage."

"However, this stage is generally not a recognized realm level."

"The so-called Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment is for cultivators to polish themselves for a period of time before truly stepping onto the path of cultivating immortality."

"From contacting spiritual energy, to circulating spiritual energy in the body, and then to transforming spiritual energy into true essence and settling it in the dantian."
