I'm in the Teyvat running group

Because it involves people, it still requires costs. In the original world, it requires materials. As for Teyvat, Mora is a very good catalyst, so a high-level restoration spell would consume fifty to sixty thousand Mora, depending on the target.

If it's a level nine item, then it would basically cost around 300,000 Mora. In terms of cost-effectiveness, it's definitely not as good as a long rest, which is basically just taking a nap.

This amount of money was nothing to Yunxiu, but he still refrained from telling Hu Tao.

Having grown up with Hu Tao since childhood, how could I not know this young lady's temper? She would split every penny in half to spend, and one of the most important things she used to deal with every day was various bills, especially Zhong Li's.

Recently, Yunxiu took over all of Zhongli's bills, and Yuehaiting started paying Zhongli's pension again, so everything was basically resolved...

As the two entered Yujingtai, they saw a large number of "Lingming Shelves" parked at the entrance. The staff really liked these things after the test, so they placed an order for a batch. Now, these things are everywhere in Yujingtai.

Hu Tao jumped into the car first, and Yun Xiu sat down next to her helplessly. The car started automatically and drove towards Yuehai Pavilion.

Recently, Master Liuyun has been discussing many technical issues with Yunxiu, which has greatly improved his development capabilities. This Lingming vehicle even comes with a music playback function. Although it's a rather old-fashioned Liyue game, it's still a pretty good feature...

Lingmingjia's speed also increased slightly, and the two quickly arrived at Yuehai Pavilion. Upon seeing Yunxiu and Hutao, the soldiers did not ask them to register but quickly led them inside to the hall where the Seven Stars were holding a meeting.

All seven stars have arrived, along with five immortals and four legendary human warriors from Liyue. With Yunxiu added to the mix, the density of legendary warriors in this room is terrifyingly high...

Although there are only three legendary figures among the Seven Stars, the relatively weaker Tian Shu still has the strength of an eighth-ring warrior, and Ke Qing is only one step away from being a legendary figure. Yu Heng himself is quite powerful, a practical fighter who has fought his way up from the north and south. However, he is slightly inferior in terms of governance ability.

After the previous incidents, Yunxiu had a general understanding of the Seven Stars' level.

Relatively speaking, each of the Seven Stars has their own very strong points, that's for sure.

Just like Yunxiu's father, Tian Shu, who is in charge of all intelligence-related work in Liyue, as well as some affairs of the Thousand Rock Army, and is also responsible for some planning and people's livelihood affairs, you can see his ability from this point alone.

The other six kingdoms of Teyvat all have "Halls of Secrets" and related forces, but Liyue does not. The tentacles of the Halls of Secrets cannot reach in at all, which is thanks to the methods of Tian Shu and Ye Lan.

However, there are also practical fighters among the Seven Stars, such as Yao Guang Star and Kai Yang Star, who are known for their combat prowess. Although Kai Yang Star was seriously injured in the previous battle to eliminate Aosai, he also benefited from the misfortune and broke through again. Now his strength is close to the level of Fu She.

Even among immortals, this is considered incredibly powerful. If he could advance two more steps, reaching the limit of cultivation below the level of gods, he might reach the level of "Captain" Capitano and become one of the most powerful people below the level of gods.

Yao Guangxing is slightly weaker, but her cultivation is quite profound. This is mainly because she is not good at combat, but it is a very interesting profession. She is a "Formation Master" who mainly cultivates the Dao of Arrays. The arrangement of the Eight Gates and Seven Gates Arrays this time will mainly depend on her series of operations.

In terms of identity, she is also a disciple of the True Lord of the Moon-Cut Sun, and is a fellow disciple of the Tengu Sasa Yuro, the wife of Inazuma. However, in terms of talent alone, Yao Guangxing can be said to have completely crushed Sasa Yuro.

While she may not be considered strong in terms of combat power, this mainly applies to those skilled in close combat; in reality, she is still quite outstanding.

Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, and Ning Guang are not practical fighters; they have mainly gotten to where they are today through their strong personal management and business skills. As for Yu Heng and Ke Qing, they are actually practical fighters, but they are still very young.

Given another two or three years, breaking through to the legendary level is almost inevitable, at which point there will be another powerful legendary figure among the Seven Stars.

Therefore, the meeting today is chaired by Yao Guang and Tian Xuan. Tian Xuan is the weakest of the Seven Stars, but she was in charge of a large part of things during the last siege of Osael. The population, livelihood, and resource allocation of Liyue basically all depend on this chief steward.

"Now that everyone is basically here, let me talk about the current situation." Tianxuan smiled and took out a booklet. With a light tap, a projection appeared in the air. Looking at the images in it, she smiled and said, "The Surveying Association and the Thousand Rock Army have submitted all the relevant information, so we have divided the locations of the formation into three levels."

Surveying and Mapping Association? Yunxiu nodded.

The president of the surveying association is none other than her apprentice, Zhiqiong. After obtaining the Water Elemental Eye, her strength has increased by leaps and bounds. Combined with the magic system, she has now cultivated to the sixth ring.

The advantage of the Eye of God system is that as long as your soul and will are pure enough, your cultivation speed will be top-notch. In the history of Teyvat, there have even been those who experienced a sudden surge in strength overnight after achieving enlightenment.

Under Zhiqiong's leadership, the Surveying Association has become one of the most powerful associations in Liyue. Although it is not large in scale, it has been at the forefront of several important battles and major events, so its influence is quite formidable.

“The most important one is, of course, the Death Gate. However, we have already communicated with them beforehand. Mr. Yunxiu and Hu Tao will personally go to the Death Gate, so this time we Seven Stars will mainly arrange for the other seven gates.” Tianxuan smiled at Yunxiu before continuing, “The Injury Gate and the Shock Gate are the two most serious places, so at least six powerful members at the Familiar level are needed.”

"Because of the Yaksha's physical condition, we do not recommend that Yaksha guard these two gates. Therefore, the Wound Gate will be guarded by Gan Yu, Yao Guang, and Li Shui Die Shan Zhen Jun, while the Shock Gate will be guarded by Xiao Yue Zhu Yang Zhen Jun, plus Kai Yang and Ming Hai Qi Xia Zhen Jun."

"Aside from these two gates which are more troublesome, the Jing and Du gates are relatively less likely to be afflicted by disasters. The main problems are likely to be monsters and various unexpected events. My suggestion is to have the two Yakshas, ​​Tengshe Taishoushuai and Jinpeng, guard them."

"As for the other three gates, you can claim them yourselves. However, please note that each gate requires at least one powerful member at the level of a familiar, otherwise we may not be able to handle a series of unexpected events."

Tianxuan's allocation plan can be said to be just right. The Wound and Shock Sects are the most terrifying, so they both have powerful legends who are proficient in formations, plus several legends with considerable combat power. The reason why the Wound Sect is slightly weaker is mainly because this place is actually near the Layered Rock Abyss.

The presence of a powerful Thousand Rock Army in the Layered Rock Abyss can, to some extent, compensate for the lack of combat strength.

As for the Shock Gate, it can be said to be one of the strongest combinations that Liyue can currently offer. This is because the Lone Cloud Pavilion is located overseas and has no sufficient support other than the fleet.

The True Lord of Moon-Cut Sun is one of the longest-living immortals and the strongest among the current immortals. His methods are endless and he is even comparable to Yunxiu. He is the most suitable person to guard this place.

It's worth noting that this person was even able to single-handedly outmaneuver Bushgalo, a monster from the outer seas, during the Battle of Heguan, which shows just how high their skill level was.

As for the remaining Open, Rest, and Life Gates, they were claimed by the other powerful figures. True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng chose the Rest Gate, while several legendary human experts paired up to occupy the Life Gate and the Open Gate.

Two of these people were people Yunxiu had met in the last battle with Oser. One was a legendary swordsman from the Shen family, who was also Keqing's aunt. The other was a wandering swordsman from the Yun family, but not from Yunxiu's Qingce Manor lineage. Instead, she was from the Yunhui lineage of the forging family, which had produced several Seven-Star experts in the past.

In terms of foundation and strength alone, it is much stronger than Yunxiu's Qingce Manor lineage. The Qingce Manor lineage has only produced one legend in history, and Yunxiu is the second. However, the Yun family has three lineages in Liyue, and strictly speaking, Yun Jin's lineage is the weakest...

The remaining two were both newly promoted legendary level experts, and their strength was not particularly strong. However, this incident itself was an excellent opportunity for them to gain experience, so they were sent out.

Seeing that everyone had finished assigning tasks, Tianxuan looked at Yunxiu and smiled, "Mr. Yunxiu, is there anything else you need to add? This trip to the Death Gate is the most dangerous time right now. If you need any help, please let us know as soon as possible. If it's really not possible, we can send someone to go with you."

“There is no need to help... Too many people at this time may disturb the order between life and death.” Yunxiu thought for a moment and said, “One thing to note is that during the operation of the Eight Gates and Seven Gates Formation, a large amount of death energy may be generated. This death energy will greatly affect the strength of the soldiers. So if the Thousand Rock Army really needs to take action, try to use the formation to assist from a distance.”

After a pause, Yunxiu continued, "I think you have all seen the records of the Cataclysmic Battle of the Layered Rock Abyss. Although this time it is slightly weaker, the actual danger is about the same. Humanity cannot hold out for long."

“Is that so…” Tianxuan nodded: “Then I should send a few more powerful members at the level of family members.”

“That’s to be expected, but there’s no need to be so alarmed. In reality, the final outcome will depend on our situation inside the Gate of Death.” Yunxiu nodded, then looked at the information Tianxuan had released and said, “There are five days left until the night of the full moon, which is when the barrier between the two realms is at its weakest. We will enter at that time, and the formation will be fully activated.”

It's basically autumn now, so entering during a full moon is definitely the best choice.

The only problem might be that this day has the strongest amplification of Yin energy, but that's not a big problem for Yunxiu, since it can be solved with magic.

Tianxuan nodded and methodically arranged the tasks one by one. This steward-level person was quite skilled in this area; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the operator sitting here despite having the weakest strength.

After receiving their tasks, everyone quickly left to carry them out, leaving only Tianxuan, Yunxiu, and Hutao behind. She looked at the two of them and said:

“Lord Yunxiu, you’ve caused Liyue a lot of trouble lately.”

Chapter 262 Burdened by Trivial Matters, Passing on the Jade Law (Second Update on Tuesday!)

"Trouble? I don't recall any trouble. Is it the mechanism that I developed with True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng before?"

“Yes, this really makes all my plans go to waste.” Tianxuan took a sip of water, glanced at Yunxiu, then took out a document and handed it to Yunxiu before smiling and saying, “This magic artifact is even more effective in improving the aptitude of newborns. We contacted Lord Fox Palace to conduct tests and found that it only requires children under three years old, and their strength will see a slight improvement in about two months.”

Does that mean children under three years old get an attribute point every two months? That means they'd have 18 extra attribute points by age three...

The future of this group of children is truly limitless. Ordinary people usually have 10 to 12 attribute points, so this adds up to 28 points. Although it is random, it means that they will have at least 17 to 22 attribute points at the start.

Although this level is still slightly inferior to Xiangling and the others, it has already reached a level far exceeding that of most ordinary people. Yunxiu had done a test before, and theoretically, this thing can allow one attribute to grow to the limit of mortals, which is 20 points.

If you start at 20 points, you're truly a future god of magic, almost guaranteed to rise to legendary status.

Yunxiu herself started with 20 points, and of course, after obtaining the Emperor's artifact, she reached 22 points. With a starting score of 20, she could cast the first-ring spell seven or eight times in the early game.

As strength increases, although obtaining powerful artifacts is difficult, assembling a set of +4 or even +6 artifacts is still quite easy for a powerful mage. Therefore, when ascending to Genshin Impact, having a +8 or even +9 modifier value is not impossible.

The same applies to other professions, and this kind of advancement benefits any industry, even those who work as porters at the docks.

For every five points of attribute increase, the strength doubles; for every ten points, it quadruples. These children will be incredibly strong from the moment they start school.

No wonder Tianxuan said that Yunxiu disrupted her rhythm. It really did completely disrupt it, because the original plan was almost unusable and had to be rewritten.

"This should be considered a good thing... The only downside might be that the improvement for later generations won't be as significant. Therefore, the top priority right now should be to ensure that every newborn grows within the magic array." Yunxiu smiled and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you hope to leverage the power of the Chamber of Commerce and the general public to ensure its rapid implementation?"

“You are indeed very clever, and that is indeed your purpose. Your merchant guild is now one of the wealthiest in Liyue, no less than some of the established guilds, so you should get involved as well.” Tianxuan scratched his head in distress: “But you, the actual controller, and a lady named Sugar are often elusive, making it really difficult to find you even once…”

I do agree with what you said, since I've hardly seen Sugar come out of her lab at all lately...

Recently, Sugar has become incredibly enthusiastic about developing bio-alchemy, often working for days and nights without rest. Occasionally, Yunxiu has to drag her out to sleep so that the child can get some rest.

Although her strength improved by leaps and bounds, and her research on bio-alchemy yielded many results, Yunxiu felt that she didn't need to work so hard, both for health reasons and for social interaction. Perhaps it was because Abedo's powerful research and development capabilities after becoming a legend had stimulated Sugar...

“Alright… shall we go to the Chamber of Commerce now and finalize the contract?” Yunxiu scratched his head: “After we finish this, I still need to find a way to improve Hu Tao’s strength. She’s still a little lacking in the ability to enter the life-or-death situation.”

"This hall master... well, this hall master is indeed somewhat lacking in strength." Hu Tao was about to retort, but thinking that almost all those involved were powerful members at the familiar level, she couldn't say anything and could only weakly continue, "My father's strength back then wasn't much stronger than mine..."

"Believe me, your old man also wants to see you live a healthy life." Yunxiu rubbed Hu Tao's head, then said to Tianxuan, "Shall we set off?"

“Okay, I’ll go with you now.” Tianxuan nodded, beckoned a subordinate to give him some instructions, and then followed Yunxiu and Hutao out of the gate of Yuehai Pavilion. After boarding a Lingming Platform, the three of them walked to the entrance of Yujing Platform.

Yunxiu's Chamber of Commerce is not far from here, nor is it far from Wangshengtang. Although it didn't have much money or resources at the beginning, as several products that influenced Teyvat were launched from the Chamber of Commerce, it quickly became one of the giants in Teyvat, and even began to surpass a series of established companies.

Yanfei is not here today, most likely out handling some matters, but this is not a big deal for Yunxiu.

Several secretaries were summoned, and after signing several documents, they were given instructions one by one. The rest of the work could be handled by Tianxuan, while Yunxiu led Hutao back to the Hall of Rebirth.

There are still a few days left, and I need to teach Hu Tao some magic.

The upgrades from the two pieces of equipment increased Hu Tao's strength by more than tenfold, and her physique also improved a lot. So, although she had experienced a morning of endless meetings and paperwork, it was nothing to her.

Because she was about to enter the realm between life and death, Hu Tao's enthusiasm for learning magic increased considerably, and remarkably, she didn't give up because these things were too complicated.

The Rebirth Hall spells themselves are actually very sophisticated, but in Yunxiu's view, they still have many flaws. One reason is the problem of Teyvat's own laws, and the other reason is that Wuwang Tongzi and Youdie Xianzi, who were researching these things at the time, were still too weak compared to Yunxiu's spell development ability.

Yunxiu's own spell development value has reached a triple-digit level, and he also possesses the Secret Record of Ten Thousand Spells. In terms of spell development ability alone, apart from the few archmages of the Witch's Guild who can roam the stars and communicate with other civilizations in the universe, no other legendary powerhouse in Teyvat is as good as him, or even far inferior.

Although the necromancy school represented by the Hall of Rebirth is not Yunxiu's area of ​​expertise, do you remember that Yunxiu once received a jar of knowledge information from the doctor?

With the dismantling of the Zhaozai King Beast and the current understanding of necromancy, Yunxiu can easily develop a series of spells applicable to the realm between life and death and the underworld. It can also be said that this has greatly expanded the spell system of the Rebirth Hall.

Hu Tao herself wasn't surprised at all. Although she didn't know much about the outside world, she was the last person to know that Yun Xiu had advanced to the level of an immortal.

However, Yunxiu's various miraculous methods over the past few days have completely impressed her, especially the fact that she could even get Thor to personally craft equipment for her. Such powerful connections and strength are beyond Hu Tao's imagination.

Although she knew the Emperor, he had not revealed his identity to her before his retirement. Strictly speaking, the person with the highest status that Hu Tao knew at that time was actually Xiao, who was one of the immortals.

However, she had a very good attitude after the Emperor's identity was exposed, probably because the Emperor himself was a very easy-going person...

Yunxiu's spell development mainly focuses on improving the application of spells between life and death based on necromancy. She also optimizes some of Hu Tao's spell effects, making it easier for her to learn.

It's impossible to master a completely new spell within five days, and Yunxiu didn't expect Hu Tao to be able to do that either...

However, the learning progress was surprisingly fast.

In just three days, Hu Tao had mastered most of the magic that Yunxiu had modified.

With the addition of the two divine artifacts given to him by Yunxiu, Hu Tao's strength has increased by more than twenty times!

Such strength surpasses that of the vast majority of hall masters in the history of the Hall of Rebirth. Only a few exceptionally talented hall masters have surpassed Hu Tao in strength, and Hu Tao has great potential and will have a long time to grow.

As for who will help her grow, and who can plan her next steps in her development, that can only be left to Yunxiu, right...?

After spending three or four days studying magic at home, Yunxiu and Hutao, finally relieved, went to Wanmintang for dinner. Today, Wanmintang was unusually quiet, with only Liuying working there and Xiangling cooking. Even Master Mao was nowhere to be seen.

"What...what's going on? There are so few people?" Yunxiu asked curiously. "And why isn't Shen He here either?"

“My grandma is sick too… though I don’t know why.” Xiangling scratched her head in distress. “So Dad went back to take care of Grandma, and business has been really bad lately.”

"Shen He was also summoned back by the True Lord. It's said that he needs to help guard the mountain gate for a few days," Liu Ying added. "Recently, it seems like something's happened in Liyue. Many people are staying home, and some are saying it's a plague!"

“It’s not a plague… but it is indeed a rather troublesome matter.” Yunxiu quickly finished the large bowl of rice in her hand, scooped out another bowl, poured the remaining vegetables into the bowl and mixed it, before adding, “You can tell the people around you to pay more attention, and we’ll get through these two days.”

"Have you and Hu Tao been dealing with these things lately? No wonder you've been at the Rebirth Hall every day. Is it troublesome?" Xiangling looked at Hu Tao with a worried expression, her eyebrows furrowed. "If anything happens, you must tell us. We can solve it together!"
