Chapter 339

One must first know the foundation of the Sect Treasury.

202. From now on, there is only one melody in Teyvat: Immortal Cultivation!

Liyue Harbor.

During the period when the entire Shushan had returned to a stable cultivation phase, and all the newly recruited inner and outer sect disciples had entered the Scripture Library to choose cultivation techniques.

Those who were taken away in the morning were also sent back.

There were over 1.3 million people when they left, and over 1.3 million remained when they returned.

All in all, they only recruited a fraction of the number of people who passed the assessment this time.

The cruel elimination rate shocked everyone.

Most of the people sent out were in a daze, standing in place, seemingly not having reacted to the fact that they had been eliminated.

Or, they didn't want to accept reality.

There were also quite a few people kneeling on the ground, wailing loudly, clearly having collapsed because they weren't selected.

A small minority just had gloomy expressions and were somewhat disappointed, but looking back toward the direction of Jueyun Karst, the firm confidence in their eyes had not been broken.

If it doesn't work this year, then next year!

If it doesn't work next year, then the year after!

As long as you always maintain confidence, you won't miss the opportunity for immortal cultivation.

Having witnessed the power of immortal cultivators, who could say a word of refusal?

Soon, the return of these people was noticed by Liyue Harbor.

Instantly, a massive crowd in Liyue Harbor rushed out, filling the already crowded wilderness.

The calls and shouts rose and fell, one after another, but the most anxious ones were these waiting people.

"A-Da! Where is my A-Da! How is A-Da?"

"Mother, I'm here! I'm sorry, I…"

"So, did the assessment fail? It doesn't matter, let's stay in Liyue Harbor and learn martial arts properly; there will be opportunities in the future!"

"Cui'er, where is the Young Lady?"

"Madam! Master! Good news! Although the Young Lady didn't pass the outer sect disciple assessment, she was successfully selected as a chore disciple and has already stayed in Shushan!"

"Really? Good, good, good! A chore disciple is also a person of Shushan! My daughter is going to become an immortal cultivator! Let's see who dares to say my daughter is weak in the future!"

"Cui'er, you've really worked hard today. It doesn't matter, next time we'll go again, and by then you can keep the Young Lady company in Shushan."

"Yes! Thank you, Madam!"

"Navik, did Leins pass?"

"Yeah, that guy was lucky. He didn't pass the assessment either, but he was selected to stay in Shushan to learn martial arts. Forget it, let's not talk about him."

"You absolutely wouldn't believe how glorious Lady Furina was in the assessment!"

"Really?! I knew it, our Water God must be the strongest!"

"Of course! In the Nine-Level Heart-Questioning Array, among over a million people, only Lady Furina walked through all nine levels."

"It is said that the last one to walk through all nine levels was Mr. Bai Zhu, the genius alchemist of Shushan's Dazhu Peak."

"Lady Furina is truly a peerless genius! Fontaine is blessed!"

"Speaking of which, I plan to go back and take stock of my family's assets, and then settle in Liyue Harbor. I plan to wait for Shushan to open the mountain again."

"If I don't cultivate immortality, I really won't be able to die in peace!"

"Okay, let's go together!"

…

The calls and shouts rose and fell, and the family and friends who stayed behind in Liyue Harbor to wait for them were looking for their own people.

For a time, some were happy and some were sad.

But for the most part, there was some regret.

Those who could stay in Shushan were, after all, the minority.

Xingqiu and Chongyun's fathers stood together, waiting unhurriedly for the servant's reply.

After a while, the servant ran back, sweating profusely, his face flushed with an unnatural red from being squeezed out.

But his expression was filled with irrepressible joy.

"Master! Great news!"

"The eldest young master, the second young master, and Young Master Chongyun have all joined Shushan!"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other and laughed out loud.

"I had guessed this would happen a long time ago!"

Chongyun's father laughed and stroked his beard.

"If that guy Chongyun couldn't join Shushan, wouldn't he be losing face for his aunt?"

"However, your two children have also joined Shushan. Old Xing, your old bones will probably have to climb up again to manage the Feiyun Commerce Guild."

Xingqiu's father waved his hand, his face glowing.

"It doesn't matter, immortal cultivation is the most important thing!"

After saying that, he looked at the servant and said:

"Do you know the specific situation?"

The servant nodded and replied:

"The eldest young master joined the Shushan outer sect, but he is also among the best in the outer sect. The second young master and Young Master Chongyun both joined the Shushan inner sect."

"As for which pulse specifically, I don't know. These people were sent back after the mountain worship ended."

Upon hearing this, Xingqiu's father was stunned for a moment and said with some regret:

"Is that so? Yun'er didn't join the inner sect. Come to think of it, it must be because I've dragged him down by making him manage the Feiyun Commerce Guild all these years."

The servant hurriedly comforted him:

"Master, there's no need to be like this. I heard them say that chore disciples can be promoted to outer sect disciples, so I suppose outer sect disciples can also be promoted to the inner sect."

"With the eldest young master's talent, I suppose it won't be long before he can be promoted to the inner sect."

Hearing this, Xingqiu's father felt much better, and he laughed and threw a bag of Mora to the servant.

"You've worked hard, go back first."

The latter left happily with the Mora.

The two young masters of the Feiyun Commerce Guild joining Shushan is a great thing for employees like them.

From now on, the Feiyun Commerce Guild will have two great immortal cultivators as its backing.

"Alright, don't force it, it's quite good as it is now."

Chongyun's father laughed and patted Xingqiu's father on the shoulder.

"I watched that child Yun'er grow up. His combat talent is indeed not as good as Xingqiu's, but in terms of conduct and intelligence, he is a leader among his peers everywhere."

"With his talent, he can soon become an inner sect disciple too."

"By then, your Old Xing family will have two Shushan inner sect disciples; your ancestral grave will truly be smoking with good fortune."

Upon hearing this, Xingqiu's father rolled his eyes and retorted:

"There's no need to say things like that. No matter what, how can it compare to your family?"

"Chongyun joined the Shushan inner sect, and I heard that Shenhe is being cultivated by the Shushan Sect Master as the next head of the Small Bamboo Peak."

"Your family is the one whose ancestral grave is smoking with good fortune."

Chongyun's father laughed out loud and happily hooked his arm around Xingqiu's father's shoulder.

"Saying these things makes us strangers. Let's go, have a couple of drinks? Find Master Mao?"

"Sure! I'll slaughter you for a meal. Your son has joined Shushan, so there's no need to strictly guard against beast meat, right? How about we have some to taste?"

"Taste? That sounds so ugly! Take one out! Today our two families will have a feast!"

"Good! It's a deal!"

The two happily took a large group of servants back to Liyue Harbor.

However, the General Affairs Office was a bit dizzy.

The moment these people returned, people from the General Affairs Office came to check.

Well…

Originally, it was just Lady Ningguang, Keqing, and Miss Ganyu who were away.

Now it's even better.
