I'm in the Teyvat running group

"Aunt Xianyun," Yunxiu scratched her head and said, "I want to develop a spell. I believe that if it succeeds, it could potentially change the future of Liyue and even Teyvat, but its widespread adoption will likely require your help..."

"Oh?" Xianyun couldn't help but become curious. She took out a mechanism, turned it casually, and sat down, saying, "What kind of magic? Although I am not a magician, I do know a little about the principles of magic development. The Moon-Cut-Sun Master is a rare master of immortal magic. I often exchange ideas with him."

"It's like this..."

Yunxiu told Xianyun about the spell he wanted to develop, just as he had said before, it is best to develop spells at the zero-ring stage.

Zero-ring spells, also known as tricks, are actually quite easy to use in Teyvat because the elemental energy here is so abundant that even normal people can easily activate the elements in various ways. However, it is precisely because the elemental energy is too concentrated and violent that it is difficult to utilize.

The principle is actually very simple: the ocean during a storm is full of water, but even if you are an Olympic swimming champion, how can you survive and obtain clean water?

Teyvat is such a case, where the raging elemental power must be guided by the Eye of God, the Moon Wheel, or other mediums before it can be used by ordinary people. Only a few powerful individuals or those with special constitutions can cast spells without the Eye of God.

Therefore, what Yunxiu wanted to develop was a zero-ring spell that could be used to isolate elemental forces.

In his vision, this spell had two functions.

Firstly, it can block some low-concentration elemental and abyssal forces, greatly expanding the adventurers' exploration range while ensuring that ordinary people's lives are not affected.

Secondly, according to his estimation, if he could isolate elemental forces while strengthening elemental perception, he could find a way to create an "inert elemental zone" to allow people to adapt to mild elements, and then gradually transition to higher-level elements, eventually allowing them to directly roam the elemental ocean of Teyvat.

This way, the problem of the spellcaster can be solved to the greatest extent.

In order to ensure that the spell can be cast with zero rings, Yunxiu plans to split the spell into two parts.

Regarding the isolation aspect, he planned to refer to [Energy Protection], [Arcane Defense], and [Elemental Shield], because there was no need to defend against damage or extremely high energy damage. He only needed to create a thin "elemental isolation field" to ensure that most human living areas could be isolated from elemental forces. With his spell development ability, he had actually thought of most of it in one night.

In terms of perception, "rituals" are needed, but if large-scale promotion is to be carried out, then construction or alchemical techniques are needed to solve the problem.

As for Sugar, there's no time for development! Sugar and Abedo are currently focusing their energy on space and bio-alchemy. Yesterday afternoon, Yanfei told him during dinner that the storage bags have undoubtedly sold out, and Sugar has already started the research and development of a second production line.

So last night I even found some time to be intimate with Sugar, but when I wanted to continue our affectionate moments, Sugar blushed and pushed me out the door, citing feeling unwell as the reason.

Yunxiu, who was no longer a novice, naturally understood the reason, even though he hadn't really thought about developing magic at the time and had been blinded by his brother.

Once he calmed down, he knew he definitely couldn't trouble Sugar, but the difficulty of the Throne of Inheritance forced him to find a master of mechanical engineering to solve these problems.

Why? Because the minimum requirement for passing on the tradition is a staggering ten thousand!

According to Yunxiu's understanding, this means that for his zero-ring spell to generate a Destiny Seat, he would need to influence at least 10,000 people, and to get a seven-color one, he would most likely need to influence millions...

"I've named this spell [Elemental Barrier], which can create a thin layer of inert elemental field around the caster." Yunxiu cast the spell with a flick of his finger; casting it wasn't difficult for him. The real challenge was reducing the spell's level to zero ring. Looking into Xianyun's eyes, he said earnestly:

"This elemental field also has a lot of uses in people's lives. For example, in some scenarios where elements are active but not harmful, such as ice mist flowers, flame flowers, or some elemental fields, it can isolate the elements."

"Oh? This spell is indeed very useful, but what does it have to do with me?" Xianyun asked thoughtfully, "Do you mean that this spell requires the cooperation of mechanical arts?"

“That’s right!” Yunxiu clapped her hands: “If we use mechanical arts to enhance elemental perception, then we can completely isolate elements while enhancing elemental perception. Then, we can use magic arrays to create an inert element zone, which will allow people to adapt to inert elements!”

"That's it!" Xianyun's eyes lit up. "After adapting to inert elements, their physical constitution and elemental perception will be enhanced, so they will be fully capable of using normal elemental power."

"Um... I think we should adapt gradually in at least four or five levels."

"This is a minor issue, so are you planning to have me take charge of the administrative aspects?"

“Aunt Xianyun, my idea is correct.” Yunxiu casually drew a diagram and said, “As an immortal, you must understand mechanical arts and how to stack magic arrays to create a stable elemental force field, so I will handle the magic part. I know nothing about the rest.”

Xianyun took the blueprints and examined them carefully. Developing this mechanism wouldn't be difficult for him, but the biggest problem in manufacturing would be cost. The biggest issue would be how to promote it as much as possible.

Of course, as an immortal, she also keenly perceived the power of this mechanism and magic.

If this method is first implemented in Liyue, given Liyue's large population, once it becomes widespread, it is very likely that tens of millions of spellcasters will emerge within a few years, each of whom will possess strength no less than that of an ordinary Vision holder...

With the promotion of elemental barriers, various elemental magic arrays can be used without restraint. Even farmers can put on elemental barriers and use grass elemental magic arrays to catalyze crops, which will greatly enhance the country's strength.

"Okay! I'll help you with the development." Xianyun said happily, then she turned to look at Shen He. Seeing that Shen He had a somewhat expectant look in his eyes, she asked him, "Shen He, do you have any ideas?"

Shen He nodded, and Xianyun made a gesture. Shen He then sat down quietly, took out a talisman, and handed it to Yunxiu.

"?" Yunxiu looked at Shen He in confusion.

“Hmm…we could consider incorporating talisman design into the development of spells.” Shen He stared quietly at Yun Xiu and said, “Even if Mr. Yun’s spells are simple, they are not for ordinary people. Talismans can guide them and can also be sold as spell props.”

After saying that, she touched her lips with her finger and said, "Mora... that should be the name. Last time I came down the mountain, I found that it is difficult to live in human society without Mora."

"Huh?" Yunxiu looked at Shenhe's otherworldly eyes and long hair, and said as if possessed, "Then you help me develop magic, and I can support you for the rest of your life!"

“I am destined for the ‘Lonely Star Calamity,’ and my master gave me a red rope to suppress my nature.” Shen He said earnestly, “I see that you can persuade the Emperor to rid yourself of evil thoughts, but can you lock my red rope?”

After saying this seriously, she reached out and combed her hair.

"If I could, I would gladly spend my whole life doing it."

Chapter 81: A Red Thread of Love Helps Overcome Tribulations (First Update in Three Days!)

of course can!

Yunxiu almost blurted out that it wasn't because he was arrogant, but because he had seen the prayer spell in the poem of the divine artifact given by the Wind God—the Feather of a Thousand Winds!

After obtaining the new Destiny Constellation [Candlelight] yesterday, he can forcibly cast a spell he has seen that is no more than 3 rings higher than himself. In other words, he can pay a sufficient price to forcibly cast a 9th-ring Prayer spell and change Shen He's destiny!

"May I take a look?" Yunxiu suddenly calmed down. Even with the help of legendary figures like the Moon-Cutting Yang and Cloud-Borrowing Wind, the Lonely Star Calamity Fate could only be suppressed. Even if she forcibly used the Prayer Technique, she probably couldn't afford the price...

Seeing Xianyun nod, Shen He didn't say anything, but quietly extended his small hand.

Gently pinching this soft, boneless, and icy-cold little hand, Yunxiu's heart stirred. He immediately felt the bone-chilling coldness and astonishing power emanating from these hands. With a quick assessment, Shen He's panel data appeared before his eyes: an 8-ring, level 15 mage variant, a talismanic sorcerer. Unlike a mage, he relied on perception as his primary spellcasting attribute.

Because of the divine artifact "Disaster Relief" and a red rope that grants +6 to perception, Shen He's perception attribute reaches a high of 32 points, even higher than Yun Xiu's current level. Even his secondary attribute, "Charm," reaches 24, making him a truly powerful sorcerer.

Even so, Yunxiu did not see the "Lonely Star and Calamity" fate.

"There's no other way." Yunxiu activated Unrestricted, forcibly raising the bonus to 40 points! (20 dice +10 Intelligence +4 Feats +6 Proficiency) A strange light emanated from his body and suddenly penetrated into Shenhe's body!

At first, he didn't see much, but when Yunxiu turned his gaze to Shen He's soul, in his "vision," there was a deep black mark with a bloody sheen on the pure background of Shen He's soul, like a curse that existed from the moment the soul was born!

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he tried his best to identify the curse. After sensing five twisted and terrifying powers within it, he reluctantly squeezed Shen He's small hand one last time before looking at Xian Yun and Shen He.

“I saw it, it was something terrifying,” Yunxiu said seriously. After a clear look of disappointment appeared in Shen He’s eyes, he changed the subject and said, “But it’s not entirely hopeless.”

"Really?" Even Xianyun was shocked by the news, but then she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Yunxiu as if testing her, "What terrifying thing is it?"

“Aunt Xianyun, I understand what you mean.” Yunxiu thought for a moment and decided to explain it in a way that was as easy to understand as possible. He casually pulled Shenhe’s small hand and squeezed her fingers while saying, “The filthy remnants of the demon god are just the surface. In fact, besides the remnants, there are four other powers.”

"A force of cause and effect connects time; a chill that penetrates the soul forms a barrier; a strange source of energy is the source of the curse's power; and finally, a symbiotic imprint deeply rooted in the source makes Shenhe's fate inseparable from the curse."

“These five elements form a perfect cycle.” Yunxiu pulled both hands together, carefully squeezing them. “Therefore, to resolve this, we must use six immortal-level spells, inserted simultaneously in the same perfect sequence, to cast the five corresponding immortal spells of ‘Purification,’ ‘Severing the Cause,’ ‘Protecting the Heart,’ ‘Transformation,’ and ‘Symbiosis.’”

"Aren't there five kinds?" Xianyun even counted them on her fingers.

“There’s one last one, which requires stabilizing ‘fate’,” Yunxiu said. “So I should have a way to do that later.”

Seeing Xianyun lost in thought, Yunxiu also held Shenhe's hand and began to daydream. It wasn't that he wanted to pinch Shenhe's little hand or face, or even... he had lied to Xianyun, but because what he said was indeed true.

This is actually six legendary spells. First, the legendary spell dispels and removes the remnants of the demon god. Second, the legendary spell weaves fate to sever the cause and effect of fate. Then, the legendary spell protects Shen He's soul with a mental barrier. Next, the legendary spell reshapes energy to transform it into the original energy suitable for Shen He. Finally, the legendary spell symbiotic contract makes Shen He the master of the mark.

In order to ensure the success rate of the five legendary spells, the legendary wish spell must also be used to stabilize the river of fate and ensure that all spells can function perfectly.

Of course, it's true that Yunxiu is currently helpless, but it's also true that he will have a way in the future.

After all, his goal is to reach Legendary status in two or three years and save Teyvat's fate. If he succeeds, there will be no problem; if he fails, then everyone will perish together...

"I understand." After thinking for a long time, Xianyun seemed to have put something down and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll start by developing spells with you."

“Mr. Yun.” Shen He looked at Yun Xiu, who was still holding his small hand, and said like a child, “If this is also a form of treatment, then please finish discussing the development of magic with your master first.”

"Ah... I just wanted to... pinch... pinch and feel your pulse to see what order of treatment is best to safely resolve this fate issue for you, not that I really wanted the feeling of these little hands..."

"Alright, alright." Xianyun waved his hand: "From now on, let Shenhe travel with you in the human world for a while. You also need to teach her how to survive in human society."

"Um……"

Reluctantly letting go of Shen He's small hand, Yunxiu began to plan with Xianyun the development of magic and mechanisms.

As Liyue's foremost master of mechanical arts, Xianyun may seem unreliable at first glance, but his actual development capabilities are extremely strong. The two of them worked together for less than three days and had already completely developed the spell.

Yunxiu pondered the spell she was developing for a long time and finally decided to name it "Elemental Separation." Although Xianyun suggested naming it "Dust Returns to Stillness," she ultimately chose a name that was relatively easy to understand in order to spread the word widely.

Xianyun Zhenjun's mechanism was named "Sealing Spirit Cave Mirror" by her, and it must be said that her naming skills were indeed much better than Yunxiu's, because Yunxiu planned to call it the "Elemental Sensor Development Version"...

The mechanism has a large number of [Elemental Barrier] runes. Thanks to Xianyun's superb mechanism development skills, she did not need to cast spells to inscribe the runes. Instead, she chose to stack spells in the development of this mechanism.

One Sealed Spirit Cave Yuanjian releases a zero-ring elemental barrier. At the same time, by simply adding the corresponding elemental crystal fragments, creatures within the affected area will gain the ability to sense gentle elements.

The number of stacks increases the corresponding ring level. Yunxiu has sensed that 2 stacks equals ring 1, 4 equals ring 2, and so on. If you can get 128 mechanisms at once, you can release a ring 7 elemental barrier and perception field, which can cover the area of ​​a large school.

According to Xianyun, this method can ensure stability. Even if one or two break, it's just a matter of spell decay, which can be easily fixed.

As for who was the first test subject—that's a no-brainer.

The morning after development was completed, Xianyun took Yunxiu and the others back to Liyue Harbor. She transformed into a woman and sat with the others upstairs at Yunhan Society, watching the exchange of work by the ladies of the Northern Bank.

This time, Mondstadt indeed held a significant advantage, and because Arecino conceded a large amount of benefits, the price paid by the Eastern side in the exchange was extremely high.

There were two thousand cubic meters of high-quality energy storage crystals alone, and the conditions included the withdrawal of all the Fatui, intelligence personnel, and official spies from Mondstadt.

As the coordinator, Liyue naturally reaped many benefits. For example, the Northern Bank sold 15% of its shares to the Gold Hall, one of the Seven Stars and Eight Gates under Moonsea Pavilion, for 70 billion Mora.

However, the lady did not fare entirely without benefit. After being captured, she calmed down considerably. Perhaps out of guilt, Wendy personally suppressed her elemental transformation. As the lady gradually controlled her madness, the exchange became exceptionally smooth.

After watching the show, Yunxiu took several girls back to his home. His first planned test subject was Zhiqiong.

"This...can this really succeed?" Zhiqiong asked cautiously, "Someone like me can actually gain elemental power?"

“Elemental power is not a product that can only be obtained through the grace of the gods; it is merely a way to utilize the world.” Yunxiu taught Zhiqiong the magic trick, which had been completely simplified, while taking out a Spirit Sealing Cave Mirror to activate it and casually tossing in a few fragments of elemental crystals. He continued earnestly, “If the gods decide whether to grant elemental power based on faith, then the gods are also evil gods.”

Just then, a diplomat from the Fools' Sect suddenly knocked on the door, handed Yunxiu a letter sealed with red crescent-shaped sealing wax, and then turned and left.

Is it Arecino?

Yunxiu didn't think much of it, but after opening the letter and glancing at it twice, his expression changed drastically!

Arecino told him that she had successfully guided Clementine's soul, so this letter was her reward. She told Yunxiu that the executive officer, the rich man, was dissatisfied with Zhidong's behavior during the exchange and had seduced several intelligence agents under Tian Shu, attempting to bypass the "Panjian" that was sealed on the Layered Rock Abyss and enter the deepest part of the Layered Rock Abyss to trigger the Black Tide!

The time was the day after the woman was released.

"The next day, that's tomorrow!" Yunxiu thought with a headache, "Arechino's speed isn't slow, but the problem is that delivering messages is too slow. It seems I need to find a way to get to the Layered Rock Abyss as soon as possible..."

"The Abyss of Layered Rocks?" Zhiqiong, who had successfully cast the spell, leaned over and asked, "Senior, may I go to the Abyss of Layered Rocks with you? I've always wanted to map that place."

"You? You can't go." Yunxiu said with a headache. In another timeline, Zhiqiong had fallen in the depths of the Abyss of Layered Rocks. He couldn't repeat the same mistake in this life!

"But……"

"No buts."

“I can take you there.” A woman leaned against the doorway and looked at Yunxiu quietly, saying, “I will take care of protecting her.”
