Chapter 390

Why on earth did they give him such a troublesome thing to do!

Isn't "thankless" the perfect word to describe his current state?

But the Gnosis was already in his hands, and Zhongli was clearly planning to force the sale, not considering his thoughts.

In other words...

The contract was made, and even if he, Tartaglia, died, he had to complete the contract first before he could die.

Otherwise, Zhongli had plenty of ways to deal with him.

He was a powerhouse at the late stage of Refinement of Qi and Spirit Transformation.

He couldn't defy him at all.

Tartaglia felt a bit depressed.

But since he couldn't shirk it, he would find a way to contract it out.

Anyway, Signora had nothing to do in Liyue, so why not let her complete the final contract for him.

Who knows, Signora might even be very happy to do it.

Zhongli was, after all, the acting Head Seat of Dragon Head Peak and a big shot in Shushan.

Being able to do things for him, who knows, Zhongli might leave an impression, and maybe she would have a chance to join Shushan later.

The more Tartaglia thought about it, the more possible it seemed, so he simply put the Gnosis away.

In a week, when he could leave Shushan, he would quickly throw this hot potato away.

232. The feeling of having relatives in Shushan, Chongyun: Suffocating!

Having solved the little matter in his heart, Zhongli now felt refreshed.

Once the Rite of Descension ended, he could finally focus wholeheartedly on cultivating immortality.

First, avenge Xuan Xing, and then break through to the Refinement of Spirit and Return to Void stage as soon as possible to resurrect his old friends.

These phased goals made Zhongli full of fighting spirit.

He wished he could immediately throw himself into a crazy cultivation life.

Besides that, he also had to help Liyue accumulate contribution points so that Liyue could exchange for the Investiture of the Gods as soon as possible.

He was also responsible for Dragon Head Peak and the Law Enforcement Hall.

Thinking about it, even after solving Liyue's affairs, there were still quite a lot of things in Shushan.

However, these things were very novel to Zhongli, and he was very happy to do them.

"Since Head Seat Zhongli has finished his business, I will add one last sentence."

"The gifts from our ancestors, such as the Shushan Demon-Locking Tower and the Xuanming Small World, will return to Shushan at the midnight hour tonight."

"The Enlightenment Tea Tree and the Bodhi of Inquiry will be planted in the backyard of the Sect Main Hall."

"There might be some turmoil at midnight tonight, so disciples need not panic."

"Besides that, Head Seat Venti, make a trip later to notify the Outer Sect Elders and let them inform the Outer Sect disciples."

Having been given a task for no reason, Venti was a bit helpless, but it was just a matter of passing a message, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan closed his eyes slightly.

"Go. Disciples may leave; there is no need to rush cultivation today. You can communicate with your senior brothers and sisters."

"Learn more common knowledge about cultivating immortality."

"At sunrise tomorrow morning, Shushan's daily routine will resume. All disciples will attend the morning class on time, and afterwards, I will preach to all disciples of Shushan."

03 After saying that, Jiang Yan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ganyu.

The latter and Jiang Yan smiled at each other with tacit understanding.

Counting the time, it had been a long time since they had practiced dual cultivation.

Ganyu was currently stuck at the peak of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation; with a proper push, she could break through to the Refinement of Qi and Spirit Transformation realm faster.

However, this little expression of Ganyu was immediately noticed by Miko and Furina, who had been paying attention to her.

Miko knew a lot, but Furina rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Recalling the awkward expression Ganyu had when she asked about this matter before, and Miko's meaningful gaze.

Suddenly, Furina seemed to have an epiphany.

Pursing her lips, Furina felt complicated.

There was a little disappointment, but more of it was relief.

Since Ganyu could do this, it meant...

Jiang Yan was not completely devoid of desire, so she still had a great chance!

Comforting herself like this, Furina suddenly became excited.

However, it was late, and Jiang Yan was also going to resume cultivation.

Everyone didn't linger in the Sect Main Hall and, after bidding farewell to Jiang Yan, left one after another.

Outside the hall, Ningguang and other senior disciples congratulated the new disciples before taking the newcomers of each peak back to the Seven Veins.

Next, they had to choose their own Dao fields.

From now on, this would be the place where they cultivated, so they couldn't be careless.

Choosing a Dao field for Inner Sect disciples was still very simple.

Shushan's Seven Veins were majestic, but there weren't many Inner Sect disciples, and thousands of Outer Sect and chore disciples living below the mountainside weren't crowded at all.

With dozens of Inner Sect disciples living above the mountainside of the Seven Veins, how could it be crowded?

It was nothing more than choosing a Dao field that suited their taste and heart.

In less than half an hour, everyone had chosen their favorite Dao fields.

Xingqiu stood in his Dao field, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction.

This Dao field already had the atmosphere of an immortal cave in his mind.

If he could plant some spiritual herbs, it would be even more perfect.

He had actually heard Keqing and the others talk about spiritual herbs.

Except for particularly precious spiritual herbs that needed to be planted in spiritual fields, other less precious ones could be grown from seeds bought from the Merit Hall.

However, few people bought them; after all, contribution points were scarce, and it wasn't worth the loss.

The main purpose of spiritual herbs was for alchemy; except for the disciples of Bamboo Peak who needed them, others basically bought pills directly.

But this had nothing to do with him.

Because his contribution points were currently zero.

He couldn't afford anything in the Merit Hall, let alone buying spiritual herbs as decorations.

Even Ningguang, the richest person, couldn't afford such extravagant behavior.

Thinking about it, it was better to just plant some flowers and grass.

With the nourishment of spiritual energy, they would become spiritual herbs sooner or later.

Pursuing aesthetics, he should be frugal where he could.

After dealing with these things, Xingqiu had time to check his cultivation technique and the standard flying sword for Shushan disciples.

There was no need to mention the technique; it was mediocre when taken apart, and this technique was destined to be bound to Chongyun.

But the flying sword was very interesting.

Since he hadn't learned the Imperial Sword Art yet, this flying sword was the only sharp weapon that allowed him to enjoy the feeling of a cultivator flying on a sword in advance.

Carefully stepping on the sword, Xingqiu tentatively controlled the flying sword to float up.

This was the benefit of standard flying swords.

Within Shushan, spiritual energy was abundant, and one could control it to fly casually.

There was no need to consume one's own true essence.

It was equivalent to Shushan issuing a basic means of transportation as soon as one joined.

The speed was indeed fast, but compared to the speed of Keqing and the others who had mastered their own Imperial Sword Art, it was still incomparable.

But Xingqiu was already very satisfied.

This was a flying sword, flying on a sword!

Something he often imagined existed in novels.

Now, he could easily achieve it himself.

It could be considered a dream come true.

Controlling the flying sword, Xingqiu was carried away and flew passionately around his Dao field.
