I'm in the Teyvat running group

After being completely restored by the Primordial Ocean of the Womb, this former "Knight of the Heavenly Pillars" Serene, who was once known as Canrya, has learned the "Enlightenment" method of Inazuma and has now embarked on the path of cultivating longevity.

His body has almost fully recovered, and he usually takes off his mask. He is a burly, handsome man with long hair, and his black hair is somewhat like that of a Liyue person.

"The formation is going smoothly. Your name is very useful; even my colleague 'Young Master' has joined our ranks." Serene handed a list to Yunxiu, pointed to the first name on the list, "Young Master," and smiled, "Purely in terms of strength, Young Master isn't the strongest among those recruited this time, but he's the most pure, so I plan to make him the captain."

"Oh? He didn't have any agreement with the Queen? What about his family?"

“I have already brought your family to Liyue. As for the bet with the Queen… there is nothing the Queen cannot trade.” Yanfei leaned in and said, “A portion of the Spirit Realm’s resources were exchanged for your family and loyalty, young master. It was a worthwhile deal.”

"President Yanfei is right. There is nothing the Queen cannot trade. I came to Nata after I finished serving her. After that battle, I was free." Serene stroked his big head and said quite happily, "However, I do owe you a lot of favors, so I came to work for you. I didn't expect the experience to be so good."

"Liyue is indeed a country suitable for living. I'll entrust this team to you. Within six months, I need to see them have the strength to dominate the Abyss Tide. Resources can be drawn upon as much as possible."

"If possible, I hope you can contact some immortals for guidance. I've discovered something in Liyue called 'Arrays' that might be very useful."

“In that case, you can go to the Imperial Academy to find Jiehu and Houzhang… You’ve met these two on the battlefield, I’ll say hello to them.” Yunxiu smiled and handed the list back to Serene. The Heavenly Pillar Knight took the list, bowed slightly, and left. Of course, he knew who these two were, or rather, the only ones who probably didn’t know were students from the Imperial Academy.

Yunxiu quickly turned her gaze to Sandone. This "puppet" had been very busy lately, from the Moon Distance Force laboratory to a series of other tasks. It could be said that she had almost exhausted all her pressure. However, she still made time to hold meetings. Yunxiu guessed that she might have something to tell her.

Sure enough, after Serene left, Sandone quickly spoke up: "In the course of my research recently, I found that Columbia's condition is sometimes not right... I contacted Rauma to check, and found that her body is indeed losing its support, and she has problems surviving in this world."

"The Moon Marrow should be able to give her some power. Can she still maintain her physical form?" Yunxiu thought for a moment. Considering the timeline, since she killed the Doctor, at least the girl's Moon Power hadn't been drained too much. Moreover, with the correction from the Primal Fetal Sea, she should be able to maintain it for a long time. Theoretically, it shouldn't have completely dissipated by now...

“Lauma took out the Moon Marrow, but it only provided temporary relief. However, Ying kept the Moon Marrow in her body, so Columbia can keep absorbing it.” Sandone did a quick mental calculation, then said uncertainly, “Theoretically, it can be maintained indefinitely, but considering Columbia’s condition, my suggestion is to solve the problem as much as possible, preferably within a year.”

"This...it should take another seven or eight months, but it shouldn't be a problem. Is there anything else?"

"The lunar distance force laboratory still needs an investment of about 20 billion Mora. Originally, our plan was to complete it in about three years, but now we definitely need to speed it up."

“No problem, I’ll give you an extra budget.” Yunxiu took out about thirty legendary materials from her storage bag, put them in the storage bag and handed them to Yanfei: “These things should be enough to cover the cost… Just put them in the warehouse and then allocate 20 billion to Sandone. Anyway, Ying gave me most of these materials, so she shouldn’t mind.”

"The Chamber of Commerce has cash, and I'll process it this afternoon." Yan Fei took the storage bag and nodded. Yun Xiu's initial budget for the Li Laboratory project this month was only 5 billion. Any additional funding would be extra investment. Going through the Chamber of Commerce's procedures for these things would be too troublesome. Yun Xiu paying out of his own pocket would indeed save a lot of trouble.

Having arranged to have dinner with Yan Fei that evening, Yun Xiu leisurely walked out of the Chamber of Commerce and arrived at the nearby Imperial Academy.

It's about time for Li Shui and Xiao Yue to finish their classes. Although these two immortals have only been teaching for less than a month, they have already amassed a huge following at the school. Most students know that they are immortals, but they don't know which two they are. They only know that their cultivation and research on magic are top-notch.

Yunxiu came here today mainly to ask about Xiaoyue's progress in strength. After all, since that carving knife has been given away, it certainly can't be wasted.

"Speaking of which, I already asked Xianyun to lend me that pot, and she replied this morning, but she refused!"

"If you talk to her like that, she definitely won't allow it. Why don't you learn to cook yourself? Or go eat at Wanmintang?"

"We're too familiar with those two girls at Wanmintang, it's not a good idea to go there... How about Xinyuexuan?"

“Although our salaries are not low, we can’t afford to eat at Xinyuexuan for more than a few meals. Besides, I want to buy some new chess pieces.”

"What kind of chess?"

"I've been playing a lot of an auto-chess game lately called 'Mystery Shovel'..."

Watching the two old men bickering as they returned to their courtyard, Yunxiu quickly followed them, only stopping when the two noticed her behind them.

"How have you two been feeling lately, teaching?" Yunxiu asked with a smile. "And the school has a cafeteria, why don't you eat there?"

"I ate too much, and it's definitely getting a bit greasy."

"Yes, yes, it's still best to eat out."

"I think you're just reluctant to part with Aunt Xianyun's pot." Yunxiu smiled at Lishui, but he quickly remembered the real reason he had come:

"By the way, True Lord, how's your 'Severing the Three Corpses' progress?"

Chapter 386 The Old Crane Seeks a Pot, Turning into Spring Thunder

"Hmm...actually, my cultivation has been going quite smoothly lately. I was only one step away from breaking through." After a moment of contemplation, Xiaoyue explained earnestly, "I plan to use the 'carving knife' you gave me at the most crucial moment. That way, I should be able to cross the fusion barrier at the instant of breakthrough, just like Lord Vulcan."

Yunxiu nodded. This was indeed the most suitable way to use the carving knife, maximizing its effectiveness. The only problem was that it was difficult, but that wasn't a big problem for Xiaoyue.

What he has in abundance is time and cultivation.

"Old Deer, you're finally going to succeed?" Li Shui was even happier than Xiao Yue: "It's been over four thousand years, hasn't it? You should have reached this level of cultivation four thousand years ago."

“Aren’t you one too? Oh, and Xianyun too.” Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Yunxiu: “There’s another thing, we should find something for Sister Guizhong to do. She seems to be too eccentric lately, and she doesn’t seem like the Guizhong we used to know.”

"I don't think it's a bad thing. What has she been up to lately? There haven't been any bills sent to the Chamber of Commerce recently."

“Of course there won’t be any bills. You probably don’t know, but she’s become a big blogger on the Spirit Realm. All she does every day is live-stream fortune telling and give people advice on dating.” Li Shui suddenly interjected. He was much more interested in these things than Xiao Yue. “Xiao Yue just felt that doing this would be beneath the dignity of immortals and wanted you to help persuade Sister Gui Zhong.”

"Isn't this a good thing? The Emperor didn't say anything about it."

Yunxiu hasn't really been paying attention to these things lately. He hasn't even been online in the Spirit Realm for a while. Apart from helping Xiangling at Wanmin Hall every day as usual, he spends most of his time sleeping, lounging around, or playing games with Funina.

Navia came for two days in between, and the group went fishing at Lonely Cloud Pavilion for two days, but they rode the pack beast that Sugar had modified to number seventy-eight. Sugar even went along for two days.

Also, I managed to catch up on the latest comic updates that I hadn't had time to read during this period.

The novel "The Tale of Master Yunxiu Subduing Demons" has been updated to the Fontaine chapter.

There were also a bunch of other works to watch, which I had been saving up for several months, and I can say I really enjoyed watching them.

As for Tsukihime, she's been nowhere to be found for the past few days...

She would come back to sleep at night, and since she was so powerful, Yunxiu didn't bother with her.

"Could it be..."

“That’s right, just like you think. Guess who taught her all this.” Xiaoyue gave a bitter smile and sighed before continuing, “Yueji was assisting her and also handling a lot of business cooperation matters. Yesterday, the merchants even came to Wangsheng Hall to look for the Emperor.”

"Is the effect not good? If so, can you give me a list and I'll let Yanfei handle the aftereffects?"

"The results are so good that many businesses want to invest more." Grandma Ping appeared behind them at some point. "It's not a bad thing. If Sister Guizhong likes it, let her do it."

I never imagined you two were business geniuses...

Yunxiu looked at the immortals in front of him speechlessly. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. It wasn't that he was curious about the logic behind Yueji's actions, or rather, it was rather strange that Yueji didn't do anything.

To his surprise, Gui Zhong was involved in things so happily, even though he had only been ignoring them for about two weeks...

"I don't think it's a bad thing. As for Yueji, I'll teach her a lesson later so that she can do a better job even if she's just an assistant." Yunxiu scratched his head. He didn't have any good ideas about this. After all, Yueji hadn't really done anything wrong this time. He could just make up for any mistakes later.

"This old woman thinks Yueji did a good job this time. It's good that Sister Guizhong is looking for something to do." Grandma Ping looked at Xiaoyue and Lishui with a disappointed expression: "On the contrary, the two of you, besides teaching, all you do after coming down the mountain is play chess in the courtyard. Is this how you enter the world?"

“But even if you want me to dance and tell fortunes, I don’t have any talent…” Li Shui looked at Grandma Ping with a guilty conscience. He was actually a little afraid of her, especially when she put on a serious expression.

"I still have to go teach Yun Song." Xiao Yue disappeared instantly, and Yun Xiu couldn't detect a single spatial fluctuation. Simply put, his spatial magic is indeed more powerful than most people can imagine now.

"Alright, alright... I won't force you two anymore." Grandma Ping shook her head, took out several pots of different sizes that were floating in the air from her storage bag, and handed them to Li Shui: "This is a cooking machine that Xianyun asked me to bring you. Take it and use it."

Lishui happily accepted the pots and laughed heartily, "Now we finally have something to eat. That guy Xiaoyue will be quite envious."

"Heh, that's not necessarily true. I think Xiaoyue probably took the opportunity of teaching Yunsong to go to Wanmintang for dinner." Grandma Ping shook her head helplessly: "You are the most honest among us. Even Xiaoyue can fool you."

"Huh?" Li Shui, who had just been happily accepting the pot, instantly slumped down, his expression unexpectedly interesting, and he even forgot to put the pots away.

Yunxiu was also speechless. The only one who couldn't see something so obvious was Lishui. He was actually secretly happy about it because of a pot. He guessed that Xianyun lent him the pot because he couldn't stand seeing honest people being taken advantage of all the time...

Seeing that Granny Ping gave her a subtle wink, Yunxiu immediately understood and said to Lishui Dieshan, "If True Lord Lishui Dieshan doesn't mind, you can go to Wanmin Hall and chat with Shenhe about talisman techniques. She has many questions that need to be resolved recently."

“Shen He? She did mention it to me, but it doesn’t seem necessary to do it at Wanmin Hall…”

Just as Li Shui was about to look conflicted, Yun Xiu's next words shut her up.

"While you're at it, help Xiangling improve the cooking machine. This thing will probably still be useful a lot in the future."

Just as Li Shui was about to continue speaking, she was grabbed and taken away by Granny Ping. It seemed that she was really having a headache. Many of these immortals were also like problem children. Someone as easy to talk to as Xian Yun was an anomaly. No, that's not right. Xian Yun wasn't easy to talk to. She just liked to play. And Yun Xiu just happened to be able to play with her. It could be considered a two-way street.

Yunxiu then took out the crystal plate and quickly sent a message to Shenhe and Xiangling, asking them to remember to keep Lishui.

Seeing Shen He's confirmation message, Yun Xiu finally felt relieved. She was confident that Shen He and Xiang Ling could handle these matters well. After all, Li Shui was just lacking a way out. Xiao Yue had been frequently dining at Wanmin Hall under the pretext of educating Yun Song, and even paid for it normally. Both of them had high incomes, receiving 120,000 Mora a month from the Imperial Academy, plus an extra food allowance, so eating out was quite easy for them.

Wanmintang is the most affordable restaurant in Liyue. As we mentioned in Chapter 1, a bowl of dragon beard noodles filled with various toppings only costs 25 Mora. If you don't have that much, 15 Mora is enough. It has meat and vegetables, and the soup is free.

Even if they eat better, a set meal can be had for 50 Mora. Even if these immortals eat at Wanmintang every day, they would only spend two or three thousand a month. Yunxiu originally planned to waive the fee, but Xiaoyue paid it in the end, saying that this was also part of the human world.

But these are minor matters; I still have other things to do today…

After walking a short distance down a narrow alley, Yunxiu leaped into the air and flew up. With a light step, he instantly arrived at the Mage Association. Today, the resident mages of the Mage Association were Nicholas and the Eightfold Divine Child. He had come to ask Nicholas for help in examining the specific situation of his small world. This peak-level transformation-type archmage should be the mage who knows the most about the evolution of life and related progress.

Moreover, she was originally one of the archangels, and thus had the responsibility to guide the people.

With Yunxiu's privileges, he could naturally enter without alerting anyone. He went directly to the Observatory at the very top of the Mage Association, where Nico was adjusting the huge device, with dozens of junior mages learning alongside him.

"The energy intensity here has suddenly increased by 885%... This is Wanmintang. According to the model analysis, it should be several immortals eating and drinking here. There's no need to worry."

Nicole guided the mages to find the anomalies in the energy while carefully adjusting it.

"The sensitivity of the Nordkale region can be adjusted accordingly; it may become a hotspot for the Wild Hunt in the near future..."

"Venerable Nico, I would like to ask, does the enrichment of energy itself necessarily mean the enrichment of matter?" A near-legendary ninth-ring archmage asked. This mage was also quite old, but clearly a long-lived being, probably at least four or five hundred years old. Although he was still a junior in front of Nico, he anxiously asked, "If the energy itself is enriched but becomes nothingness, without causing any change in matter, how do you explain that?"

"Energy itself can definitely be transformed into matter. If energy itself is abundant but void, it means that there is huge energy hidden in the folds of space. And this energy can actually be utilized, because the huge energy contained in the folds of space implies the instability of space itself. You only need to reveal this layer of space... and you can achieve the effect."

Watching Nicole gradually impart knowledge to the mages, Yunxiu waited a while. Only after seeing off the last student did she gently step forward and smile, "Do you have time now? I talked to you a few days ago about my new world..."

"Ah, sorry about earlier. I chatted with the students a bit too much. But managing the Mage Association here is indeed an interesting thing. Although Alice also thought about establishing one back then, it didn't happen in the end for various reasons. This was mainly because Alice herself didn't really understand how to establish such an organization. You are definitely much better than her... Hmm, did I say too much again?"

“It’s alright, I don’t really understand it either, but as long as the system is promoted, there will always be capable people who can solve these problems.” Yunxiu smiled, took Nico’s hand, gently opened a spatial portal, and walked directly into her own little world. Thanks to Nasita’s efforts, it can now be said that the system is beginning to show results, and most importantly, the world itself has indeed given rise to new things.

moss.

Yes, a patch of moss, something entirely derived from this world, green and full of life.

“This is the very first life that came into being in this world… It was born entirely from the world itself.” Yunxiu gently picked up a small piece of moss and handed it to Nico: “Can you see anything in it? What is this world still lacking?”

"Let me see... it still lacks some vitality, or more precisely, it lacks the vitality of 'thunder'."

"thunder?"

"Yes, Lei, do you know why the first bolt of lightning in the world is said to be so powerful? Even its shadow is terrifying? Because lightning is the product that brings life."

"Of course, even if the shadow of lightning exceeds the length and width of the lightning itself, it is still a product of the lightning's own reflection. But lightning itself symbolizes the power of life, which this world is currently lacking."

"Only from the primordial womb of life and the original thunder of vitality can the soil of the world be born for survival. This world is lacking these."

Thunder... No wonder the Sisterhood of Thors is so powerful, so that's why. In my world, who can unleash this "Thunder of Life" thing?

I can't really let lightning strike me twice...

Chapter 387 The Origin Fire Rises in Search of Fragrance

"I definitely can't watch any bad movies, can I watch my own?"

"It probably won't work. The foundation of the new world is based on you, so it's best if you don't wield the power. The world itself needs more variables. In fact, finding that Little Lucky Grass King to adjust the world's structure would be a very suitable choice. I think you can consider finding Moon Princess to unleash this life-giving thunder. Her power contains the power of the moon. Perhaps she is one of the people with the deepest moon power in Teyvat right now."
