The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

If Xingqiu can maintain this state, then there will be no need to worry about lighting when exorcising demons in the future.

"A true hero, indeed a true hero!" Xingqiu kept muttering to himself.

Ember indicated that he did not want to talk to him and threw a copy of "The Rules for Training Ten Wise Warriors" at him.

"Senior, why is the title of this book different from the previous one?" Chongyun had excellent eyesight, and he immediately recognized that this book was different from Dugu Shuo's.

The intelligence on the cover has actually increased a bit!

“Because I think he’s a little bit smarter than that kid Dugu Shuo,” Yu Jin said to Chong Yun, pinching his thumb and forefinger together.

Then he raised his hands, spreading his fingers. Several very similar books appeared between his fingers as if by magic.

"Chongyun, do you want this book, 'The Rules for Cultivating a Ten-Power Mage,' 'The Rules for Cultivating a Ten-Power Prayer Master,' or 'The Rules for Cultivating a Ten-Power Spellcaster'?"

In Yu Jin's view, Chongyun was not lacking in intelligence, given that his magic was geared towards professions like mages.

So Yu Jin decisively pulled out his newly compiled series of mage training books for Chongyun to choose from.

As for whether there will be future series like raising assassins, raising archers, or raising little knights...

Even Yu Jin didn't know.

Chapter 364 The Great Hero

2023-12-22

"So, which one do you want?" Yu Jin asked Chong Yun as he stacked up several books.

Seeing his conflicted expression, Yu Jin threw all the books in his hand at him, leaving Chong Yun scrambling to catch them.

Actually, he just thought the book was too heavy and didn't want to carry it.

It took Chongyun a while to tidy up the ancient and heavy book in his hands. He flipped through it casually, and what came into view was a complex and unique special magic array.

At the center of the magic circle is a burning palm, and behind the palm are clear, mysterious, and complex patterns.

Ignite—originating from a prayer of ominous prophecy. It can ignite a flame instantly from the hand. It can be used immediately after other actions.

Extinguishing flames is forbidden for the Golden Tree.

The prophet who believed in the golden tree saw the flame and was banished from his homeland.

"Light the fire, the basic flame prayer. Beginners should practice imitating the radiant patterns of this prayer until they are proficient, and then..."

"Snap!" Chongyun slammed the large book shut. He frowned. Although the method of casting "fire" and its principles described in the book were completely different from other spells, in Chongyun's view, this was a spell from another land.

However, magical arts are all kept secret within Liyue. No, not just in Liyue, but throughout the Seven Kingdoms, such special powers are taught in secret. What circulates among the general public are nothing more than methods of physical training or self-defense.

To wield extraordinary power, one must either have a family tradition or go through countless hardships to become an apprentice.

Anyone who claims to teach magic or esoteric arts in public is mostly a fraud.

But is Yu Jin a fraud? Chong Yun glanced at Xing Qiu, who was gesturing something, but he was now engrossed in his book again.

Although his close friend often tricked him, his martial arts skills were undeniable. Xingqiu's title of senior disciple of the Guhua School was not self-proclaimed.

The fact that Xingqiu was so engrossed in the book shows that the author's understanding of the word "martial arts" has reached a certain depth.

“Senior, this… I can’t accept this.” Chongyun straightened the book in his hand and handed it back to Yu Jin.

"Hmm? Is there something wrong with it? I don't remember anything wrong. I checked it several times." Yu Jin said, flipping through the series of raising games in his hands.

It seems that the guys inside me are getting worse and worse. They can't even compile a book properly, even though they used to call themselves gods!

Yes, these books in the "Development" series were not written by Yu Jin—does he seem like the kind of person who would write books?

These are all ways that Ember has found to kill time for the few bored guys inside him.

For example, the chief editor of the Nine and Ten Wise Warrior Training Rules in the hands of Xingqiu and Dugu Shuo was You Sui, and the chief reviewer was Yu Jin.

The books in Chongyun's hands that mainly discuss magic, prayer, and incantations were edited by Dianhuo and reviewed by Yujin.

Although Yu Jin can't write books, his ability to nitpick is top-notch.

Forget about substantive errors; even a single misspelled word will warrant a rewrite!

Therefore, Madfire and Deepfire are now considered to be fluent in Teyvat.

As for Corruption and First Flame, Corruption might be able to write a book called "Super Biology," but as for First Flame... it would be a miracle if it didn't burn everyone else's manuscripts.

"No, there shouldn't be any errors in the book, senior." Chongyun scratched his head, even if there were errors, he couldn't see them.

"Then why not? You don't seem that strong either." Yu Jin closed the book and breathed a sigh of relief. He almost wondered if one of them, him or Chong Yun, had a problem with their eyes.

"Uh..." Yu Jin's words left Chong Yun speechless. Although he was indeed not a strong person, it was still wrong for him to say it so bluntly!

Taking a deep breath, Chongyun solemnly said to Yu Jin, "Senior, these are secrets that are not passed down to others. I should not accept them!"

"What?" Yu Jin almost thought he had misheard. This was the first time he had ever been rejected for offering his help.

"I can't accept these. You should leave them to your future apprentice!" Chongyun offered the books in his hand again, and also snatched Xingqiu's books away.

Although he harbored some resentment, Xingqiu didn't say anything. After delving deeper, he also discovered the extraordinary nature of the book.

These kinds of things are usually only available to those who become apprentices or join a sect. He's seen so much for free; he should be content.

"The same goes for the next generation. The stronger you become, the happier I will be." Yu Jin then tucked the book into their arms.

Upon hearing this, Chongyun stroked the thick book in his hand, puzzled. "Why would you do this, senior?"

With so many strong individuals, even if Ember is also a strong one, it's not necessarily a good thing, is it?

"Well..." Yu Jin stroked his chin, wondering how to put it.

If we really want to be serious, perhaps it could be said to be a habit formed from past experiences?

Ember had thought he could sleep until he died in the little wooden box. But a bell rang, waking him up from the graveyard.

Later he learned that they needed firewood. But there was no good firewood left in the world, so they had to pull out the firewood that had been burned once before and burn it again.

To his dismay, none of the firewood that was pulled out was his. Yu Jin had simply been woken up by the noise.

What devastated him even more was that all the firewood combined still wasn't enough to burn! In the end, he had to add the embers himself.

The result was that he took the fire, and burned it, burned it, burned it like a bullshit!

"Perhaps because I'm a great hero?" Yu Jin said jokingly. He didn't intend to talk about those old stories.

Even if I explained it to them, they probably wouldn't understand, so I might as well explain it in a way they can understand.

"And he's the kind of chivalrous hero who gets a little tired," Yu Jin added with a yawn.

"A somewhat tired hero?" Xingqiu pondered for a moment. Was there such a hero as him?

“Yes, once you all become stronger, I won’t need to do many things anymore. At least, I won’t have to do everything myself.” Yu Jin said, chuckling a few times.

"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Chongyun finally put away the book that had been left behind. His eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Hehe, isn't Senior saying we should do more chivalrous deeds?" Xingqiu put his arm around Chongyun's neck and chuckled.

Although they couldn't be considered great heroes, they were still known as chivalrous figures.

Moreover, Chongyun's reputation in this regard is even greater than Xingqiu's. The reason for this is that Xingqiu's status as the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is too dazzling, overshadowing his other identities.

Some people might even try to understand Xingqiu's motivation for his "chivalry" because of his identity.

Thinking about the rumors and gossip he heard from time to time, Xingqiu felt a little envious of Chongyun.

Chongyun comes from a family of Taoist priests, and thus he bears the responsibility of subduing demons and monsters.

However, due to his extremely rare pure yang body, Chongyun not only cannot see evil spirits, but is also often regarded as a fraud because he can exorcise demons simply by sitting down.

Thinking of this, Xingqiu, who had initially envied Chongyun, immediately felt much better. In a way, they were brothers in misfortune.

"Helping others to uphold justice?" Yu Jin looked at Xing Qiu and Chong Yun in front of him, not expecting that these two kids had such a hobby.

“Yes, to uphold justice.” Xingqiu nodded.

"To vanquish demons and monsters, and to uphold justice on the side." Chongyun still couldn't forget his primary duty.

"Chongyun, Chongyun, you should just accept your fate! You can't even see the demons, so how are you going to eliminate them? You're just doing your job as a chivalrous hero!" Xingqiu decisively exposed him.

What he said wasn't wrong. Most of Xingqiu and Chongyun's acts of chivalry happened because Chongyun heard about evil spirits in a certain place and went there on his way.

To be honest, there are far more evil people than demons and monsters.

Chapter 365 Damn it

2023-12-22

"Can't see any demons?" Upon hearing Xingqiu's words, Yu Jin carefully examined Chongyun in front of him.

Hmm, he's a hot-tempered young man.

Yu Jin nodded. The fiery aura of life that flowed around Chong Yun was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and it was almost overflowing.

This aura is called growth power to him, but in Liyue it should be called "Yang energy".

"Hehe, don't be fooled by Chongyun's expertise in magic arts. He's actually never even seen what demons and monsters look like!" Xingqiu said with a mischievous grin. He often teased Chongyun about this.

"Senior, you haven't seen Chongyun's 'Records of Strange Tales of Demons and Evils,' it's full of..."

"You talk too much!" Before Xingqiu could finish speaking, Chongyun stepped forward and covered Xingqiu's mouth.

Chongyun has no secrets. If he really had to say something, it would be this book, "The Record of Strange Tales of Demons and Evils".

This is not because the book contains any earth-shattering secrets or records any super magic.

"The Record of Demons and Evils" is a family heirloom of the Chongyun family, in which successive generations of inheritors have recorded in detail the demons and evils they subdued.

From nameless monsters to powerful demons active in strange tales, everything is recorded here. In addition to detailed written records, successive generations of inheritors have also added illustrations to them.

It can be said that Chongyun's greatest help on his journey of subduing demons and monsters was this all-encompassing family letter.

However, after this book, "Illustrated Record of Demons and Evils," came into Chongyun's hands, some minor troubles arose—Chongyun couldn't see the appearance of the demons and evils at all.

As a result, the art style of "Illustrated Record of Demons and Evils" became increasingly peculiar. It's best not to delve too deeply into things like ferocious beasts with seven wings and five legs, or monsters that are half-fish and half-Hycnomen.

"Hmm... It's quite novel to be an exorcist who can't see demons." Yu Jin pondered for a moment, then smiled.

“Not surprising at all.” Chongyun shook his head expressionlessly.

"Senior, do you know what it feels like to go somewhere full of excitement only to leave disappointed? Every single time!!!"
