I'm in the Teyvat running group

Grandma knelt down, her hands clasped together, two strange streams of light appearing in them. She spoke, "Kares Casapa, Lord of White Frost Town, leader of the Rose Society, Navia's father, I call upon your name in the name of Cetalari..."

A beam of light shot out from the stream of light in Grandma's hand, illuminating the stone with the "ancient name" until it was crystal clear. In the next moment, wisps of strange blackish-gray light were drawn out from the crystal below. In just a few minutes, a human figure condensed in this area where time had stopped!

Yunxiu immediately lifted the time stop, and Master René, quick-witted and agile, threw out a beautiful crystal. Under the protection of the magic array, the entire soul was absorbed into the crystal.

The crystal was transferred directly into Abedo's magic circle. Navia cut her finger and dripped a few drops of blood onto the crystal. Abedo instantly activated the entire magic circle. The crystal shattered, and beams of light transformed from spiritual light in all directions, directly condensing into a tall human figure in the very center of the magic circle!

Yunxiu casually tossed a few pieces of clothing inside, and the figure immediately caught them and put them on. Soon, the tall, adult male body of Fengdan was displayed before everyone.

“Navia…” Kares looked at everything before him with tears in his eyes: “I… am back?”

Chapter 230 10 Billion Mora! (First update on Saturday!)

The soul that "returned" from the ley lines, Kares, showed a hint of fear and bewilderment, but this emotion was washed away by joy the moment she saw her daughter, Navia.

"Navia!" Kares excitedly embraced Navia, the father and daughter almost speechless.

After waiting a short while, Yunxiu spoke somewhat inappropriately, "Mr. Kares, we need to perform some examinations on you to determine the effectiveness of the resurrection spell..."

"Ah... okay, you're Navia's...?" Kares looked at Yunxiu with considerable delight and continued, "You're quite a nice young man."

Although it's unclear how Carles figured it out, Yunxiu's skin has certainly been thickened to a considerable degree, and besides, his relationship with Navia isn't exactly something to be ashamed of.

He shook hands with Abedo and then began to examine Kares' condition together.

The good news is that, at least in terms of the spell's effect, Kares' resurrection was largely successful, even quite successful. The only problem was that, due to the time stop, the soul and body were somewhat misaligned, but this wasn't a major issue; it could be restored after a period of rest.

The only problem might be that there will be some headaches during this nurturing process, but it's not a big problem. Headaches are much easier than returning to the human world.

The bad news is that the cost is simply too high. After a few people checked it out, they found that time stop and Abedor's perfect alchemy were indispensable, as the difficulty of transmuting a Teyvat human body into its own form is extremely high.

How high is this cost? If you want to inscribe a time-stopping magic circle, the cost of legendary materials alone should be over 15 million Mora. This does not include the loss and maintenance costs of the materials themselves. In reality, the amount of Mora required is far greater than this, and each time it also requires millions of Mora of catalyst.

This is just the cost of stopping time.

This does not include the labor costs of the legendary alchemist Abeldo.

The cost of having Abedo help craft the Dragonscale Staff is a good indicator. Although Abedo jokingly mentioned ten million Mora, the actual cost was likely much higher.

If we add the contributions of Aberdo, René, and Citrali, integrating all these elements together would inevitably result in a final product whose cost cannot be estimated.

Moreover, each activation requires tens of millions of molas for the catalyst, and the corresponding material consumption is also in the tens of millions. In addition, a ninth-ring level expert must be present to guard it.

So the final conclusion reached by the group was that the "resurrection cost" of this thing was in the hundreds of millions of Mora, and that was just for an ordinary person. As for a strong person, based on the energy itself and the related difficulty, it would probably be several billion.

This has become so terrifying that even Yunxiu is almost unable to afford it.

“And there’s another problem, which is because Kares’s death was relatively recent,” Sitella said. “If it were an ordinary person who had been dead for a longer period of time, without the protection of the Great Spirit and the Night God, their soul would quickly become incomplete, and then it would have to be nurtured and repaired, which would be a huge investment.”

“Another problem is that the study of soul science is actually very complex. I think there aren’t many people on the entire continent who have done in-depth research on it,” Abedo added. “It’s also very difficult to find someone who can use this artifact at any time.”

"I calculated using the 'World-Style' method. To resurrect a powerful being at the Familiar level, it would likely require a magic array the size of a city, along with at least five or six other beings of the same level and a deity to assist."

"Master René, you can tell me any other bad news as well..." Yunxiu shook his head helplessly. This difficulty was indeed far beyond his imagination.

"No, but there's good news."

"The good news is...?"

“This thing can indeed be replicated, provided you have that much money.” René smiled. “Hmm… making about twenty should be enough to gather a god-level resurrection.”

"How much would it cost to make one?"

“If we don’t include our own costs, it’ll be around a billion.” Abedo handed over a small notebook. “However, there’s still a problem with what René said. To ensure stability, my suggestion is to manufacture more than thirty.”

Three hundred billion Mora!

Yunxiu was able to come up with the money. Before this, she had already asked Yanfei how much money she had, and Yanfei finally told her that she had nearly 200 billion...

However, this alarming number still made Yunxiu start complaining, because it didn't take into account their individual contributions, nor did it include the relevant Mora figures.

"How about... asking the Emperor to make some?" Xianyun tentatively suggested, "I also have some antiques here that I can sell, which should be able to help you. But this is really important."

This was indeed of extraordinary significance to Xianyun, because besides the Emperor, Guizhong was one of her most important friends. After Guizhong's death, the most heartbroken people besides the Emperor were Xianyun and Granny Ping, who almost became withdrawn as a result.

“Let’s revive Clementine first. Now that we’ve come this far, there’s no reason to stop here.” Yunxiu shook her head. “We can discuss the specifics later. Money is actually the least of our problems.”

The group nodded. The second resurrection was much more skillful than the first. Soon, a woman who looked quite similar to Navia appeared in front of them. She quickly understood the current situation from Navia and Kares's explanation.

She took Navia's hand and walked up to Yunxiu, bowing deeply before speaking, "Thank you. I don't know how to thank you, but Navia said you don't like those formalities, and now that the Rose Thorn Society is managed by Navia, I really don't have any way to express my gratitude..."

“There’s no need for that. Actually, this is my first time studying these things too.” Yunxiu sighed. “Your soul problem is actually more serious than Mr. Carles’s. You need to nurture it for a longer period of time. It’s best not to have anything outside of your normal daily life for a while.”

"Thank you, I understand." The elegant lady was quickly led away by Navia. Of course, before she left, the group also gave her a physical examination.

The results of the examination were as expected.

That is, apart from the need to improve the harmony of their souls, their spells can actually be said to be successful.

However, the soul itself is not something that can be resolved in a short time. When the human body is refined into its own form, this problem will be encountered. Fortunately, René was a master of soul studies. He astutely optimized the magic array to a certain extent, so that the nurturing of the soul could take place after the resurrection was successful.

Cost is now the biggest problem. After careful consideration, Xianyun believes that the development of this mechanism is indeed not a problem. Although the manufacturing is extremely difficult, they can optimize it through technology to ensure the effectiveness of the mechanism.

As for the issue of rank, it can be solved by stacking the number of items, just like the Sealed Spirit Cave Yuanjian. This can also reduce costs to some extent. The only problem is the allocation between the various mechanisms, but this can also be solved by the computing power matrix.

With money and materials at his disposal, Yunxiu reluctantly signed document after document, and transferred a large amount of supplies from all over Teyvat. In order to ensure efficiency, he also specially built a teleportation array. Compared with the manufacturing itself, the cost of the teleportation array, which was worth hundreds of millions, seemed insignificant.

The cost of transporting materials once is only a few hundred thousand Mora, while many of these legendary materials are worth tens or even hundreds of millions...

As for the creation of the magical artifact itself, it is relatively easy, because the biggest difficulty in making this magical artifact lies in how to "write" these inscriptions that contain laws and powerful forces on it.

Their formidable strength allowed them to create the artifact quite smoothly; strictly speaking, the first magical artifact was developed on the morning of the third day.

Its appearance is completely different from what the Emperor originally envisioned; it is a triangular support-like structure, only upside down.

The branch that inserts into the ground will directly extend its 'tentacles' into the earth's veins. The spell covered in this 'storage' is Sitrali's awakening spell on the 'soul'.

This spell is a variant of shamanic spell. While enhancing the ability to detect, it reduces the difficulty of adapting the spell to a certain extent, making the spell less stressful to cast. However, the detection range can also be determined by the amount of energy output.

As for the "three legs," they are inscribed with spells for stopping time, condensing souls, and communicating with souls, which can quickly nurture a soul and ensure its integrity.

As for human transmutation, it was integrated into another set of magical artifacts, since human transmutation had become a relatively simple method at this time.

Looking at the bizarre but incredibly expensive device in front of her, Yunxiu couldn't help but sigh: "Now that it's been built, we can give it a try. If it works, then we can start replicating it."

"Who should we choose as our first test subject?" Xianyun couldn't help but ask. "If possible, we should choose someone with sufficient strength to see how effective this test will be."

“Natural death from old age is probably more troublesome, because whether such a person is willing to be resurrected is a question.” Abedo thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps we can focus on some powerful figures in history, among whom there may be quite a few who are willing to ‘return’.”

“If that’s the case, it would be best if they were people who desperately wanted to return to the human world and had a very strong desire for it, and preferably had some legendary deeds.” Xianyun nodded: “If possible, it would be best if there were still some members of our clan who were willing to provide a part of their essence to reshape their bodies.”

“There’s another requirement: ideally, we should be able to find the location where he fell or where his obsession lies,” Setrali added. “If we can find those, then finding the soul will be easier.”

This makes it extremely difficult. First, the death must have been accidental. Second, the person must have longed to return to the world. Third, they must still have descendants living in the world. Finally, their deeds must be passed down.

This difficulty is as daunting as finding a five-legged toad; after all, how many creatures in the world can fit into this framework?

"It really is a troublesome choice..." Yunxiu thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of a very suitable one: Yaksha!

Dozens of Yakshas have perished in Liyue's history, including the famous Five Great Yakshas as well as numerous smaller Yakshas.

The five great yakshas are: Fushe, Yingda, Fanan, Minu, and Jinpeng.

Apart from Fushe and Jinpeng, the others are all gone!

Chapter 231 An Insurmountable Barrier (Second update on Saturday!)

"If that's the case, my suggestion is to focus our attention on Tongque."

On the rooftop of Wangshu Inn, Xiao, who was playing chess with Fushe, said, "Another very important reason is that Yingda, Fanan, and Minu all died because of the erosion of karma. I think you don't have a way to clear away karma yet."

“Yes, even if he is resurrected, he will likely remain delirious due to the destruction of karma, and the final result will still be death.” Fu She put away the chessboard and said, “Besides, Tong Que’s death was indeed rather sudden.”

"The raging waves rush into the sea to seek the dragon tiger, the wind and snow return to the mountain to slay demons..." Xianyun also spoke up: "I remember this Yaksha, her death was indeed an accident, of course, during the war of demons, there were just too many accidents."

Bronze Sparrow Terrace...

This Yaksha, who only exists in a side story but later becomes the "protagonist" in the legend of Xiao, is indeed an unexpected choice.

“Then let’s choose ‘Bronze Sparrow’…” Yunxiu nodded and continued, “Where did Bronze Sparrow die in battle?”

“We erected a monument for her at the place where she died in battle, and also built a temple.” Fushe stood up and sighed, “Come with me.”

He transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for the vicinity of Tianheng Mountain. The others followed, and when they saw the enormous Tianheng Mountain, Fu She exclaimed, "I wonder if your thing can revive Yixiao Daotian..."

Is it about moving the heavens and guiding the sky...?

Yunxiu had considered this existence, but the reason she hadn't resurrected was quite simple: her strength was still too weak.

Yi Xiaodaotian's strength is extremely powerful; he is a complete demon god-level being. Although he does not have the rank of a demon god, he has achieved such strength at the peak of the legendary realm, so his level is unimaginable.

In terms of cultivation, he was on par with Xiaoyue Zhuyang and Huzhaigong. In terms of combat ability, he was no less than the Fire God Mavica, who was known as the "God of War". This directly made his resurrection extremely difficult, at the level of a demon god. However, Yunxiu and the others were very clear about this.

Once the resurrection is truly achieved, then the most important thing, as the Emperor said, is that returning to the end is far more important than anything else.

This is not only because Gui Zhong is a demon god, but also because Gui Zhong's wisdom level allows the entire Liyue to move in a better and more suitable direction. Although Liyue is currently under human rule, in reality, various major events still occasionally require the intervention of demon gods and immortals.

On the contrary, according to Fushe, the five great yakshas are all at the level of their followers, while most of these lesser yakshas have not reached that level. Based on his and Xianyun's descriptions, Yunxiu roughly estimated that Tongque was a fairly powerful eight-ring warrior, not much different from Arecino when she first appeared.

This level is considered strong on the continent today. After all, a member of a family is a legendary figure, and each country only has a few of them. This level is also quite impressive.

However, in the era of the Demon God War, where demon gods could intervene at any moment and powerful members of the familiar level could fall at any time, the Bronze Sparrow was still too weak.

Soon, the group arrived in front of a temple, which was kept very clean. The branches of the small trees used for offerings at the entrance were neatly trimmed, and the memorial tablets inside the hall were also neatly arranged.

“This is it…” Fushe pointed to the temple and said, “She died in battle here, so we erected a monument for her here.”

"Then... let's begin."

Yunxiu took out the strange tripod-shaped magical artifact, inserted it into the soil, and injected a large amount of energy to activate it.

Soon, the feedback from the magical artifact reached Yunxiu's mind. The Yaksha's soul was already powerful, and coupled with her very strong obsession, her soul had been wandering in this ley line.

However, just as the magical artifact was about to use [Time Stop] to condense the soul of the Bronze Sparrow, rifts in the abyss opened up around them, and a large number of demons poured out from the middle!

Fushe drew his spear and swept it horizontally, clearing out most of the demons. However, hordes of demons rushed forward frantically as if they didn't care about their lives, aiming directly at the Bronze Sparrow Soul at the core of the magic artifact.

As the group worked hard to clear out the monsters, they watched with bated breath as the Bronze Sparrow's soul slowly condensed. However, it seemed that several legendary figures flashed past and headed straight for the Bronze Sparrow's soul!

A legendary sniper!

Although he barely reached the legendary level and was still a nine-ringed demon, his application of spatial magic had reached a level of exquisite perfection, completely exceeding everyone's expectations.

"disease--!"
