Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

"Well, that makes a lot more sense."

Seeing Keqing nodded, the little coal ball blinked and showed a pitiful expression.

[As the master's property, I will naturally serve the master wholeheartedly. However... could the master please consider my wholehearted devotion and...]

God knows how Keqing could see the pitiful feeling from a black coal ball, but she did see it.

She was speechless.

"I see. I'll see how you perform."

[The master is really kind and beautiful! ]

Hearing the exact answer, Little Coal Ball suddenly became excited.

Seeing Little Coal Ball's attitude, Keqing couldn't help but think of the time when she was in Liyue, when her subordinates were also so excited when they asked for leave like she did.

So...is she that harsh and terrible?

Keqing seemed to be lost in thought. She still felt good about herself. At least she was never harsh, nor would she lose her temper easily. She was clear about rewards and punishments, and she got along well with travelers. All their communication was normal. So why were people around her a little afraid of her?

If other people knew that Keqing thought this way, they would probably complain in their hearts. That was not fear, but a deeper kind of awe.

Lady Yuhengxing is indeed clear about rewards and punishments and always reasonable, but she is also extremely strict and rigorous, and this character trait is reflected not only in her daily life but also in her work.

She demands efficiency in everything she does, otherwise she will ask for it to be overturned and redone. She only needs three days to finish something that would take a month to complete. She works very seriously and almost around the clock.

Faced with such a leader, anyone working under him will feel the immersive rigor and constant sense of frustration.

Suffocating to the point of being unable to breathe.

Especially when the other party leads by example, he often asks with serious doubts.

"Can't you do something so simple?"

"So why put off until today something that could have been done yesterday?"

When they heard such words, God knows what they were thinking. Please, they are just ordinary people!

An ordinary person does not have such an outstanding plan, meticulous thinking, or a body that works hard as if it does not need rest. He also wants to be lazy occasionally.

In short, facing a boss who is a genius, rigorous, and a workaholic, as his subordinate, all you feel in your heart is incomparable admiration, respect, and a sense of distance.

Therefore, people who work around Keqing often see not her beautiful face, but her extremely rigorous and genius style and ability.

I have to say that the fact that people can ignore appearance and instead see character and ability is either a proof or a melancholy.

This can be considered as part of Yuhengxing's daily life. No wonder people always feel restrained and inexplicably scared when facing her.

This is also reflected in the small coal balls.

But for Keqing herself, she realized it, but didn't care about it. Instead, people around her hoped that there was someone who could make Lady Yuhengxing become like a normal girl.

"It's only been less than half a month, but Liyue's memories seem like a long time ago. Is this the emotional catalysis caused by distance?"

Keqing murmured, but only recalled it for a moment before putting it out of her mind and shaking her head.

"Don't think too much. It's useless to think too much. It's better to focus on the things in front of you."

Let’s solve the current problems first, and then carefully look for a way to go home.

Putting everything behind her, Keqing walked back.

However, within a moment, she found herself lost.

A strange path that I had never seen before appeared before my eyes.

Looking closely, there is a pavilion standing not far from the end of the road.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

“Is there a pavilion nearby?”

She took a few steps forward and came to the pavilion.

There is a stone table in the middle of the pavilion, with two stone benches on each side. The stone table is made of ordinary marble, and there is a book on the table. It looks unremarkable, but it is actually a very ordinary book.

When you walk closer and take a closer look, the title of the book appears before your eyes.

"Three Years of Thunder Method and Five Years of Simulation"

Chapter 19: Divine Thunder Atlas

Looking at the book in front of her with a slightly different style, Keqing almost thought it was a storybook that had also traveled through time.

I still remember that in Liyue, the vendors had some similar books in their hands. The names sounded very practical on the surface, such as "Three-year simulation to make you a love expert" and "Deciphering the secrets of the seven stars to take you to the peak of life". These books seemed very eye-catching but were actually just to fool people.

Although Liyue's books are not subject to any strict regulations, some books that are deceptive and purely rely on gimmicks to fool people cannot be left unchecked and must be stopped.

It's not that she restricted it intentionally. After all, even when there were some books on the market like "The King of Hell Falls in Love with Me" and "Upon Wake Up, Miss Emperor Hugs Lady Ningguang", she didn't impose any extra restrictions, right?

As for why there is no story about Yuheng Star, haha, if it could appear in front of me alive.

……

In short, as long as they are not scams, there are no restrictions on these books written out of public curiosity.

Of course, you can also write that the Emperor dresses up as a woman, or becomes a young girl, and then has a great love affair.

After all, nothing is impossible, and the stories are not necessarily false.

Ahem, of course, the topic has gone a bit off track.

Looking at the book in front of her, Keqing always felt that this naming method was somewhat out of tune with this world. Of course, maybe the person who wrote this book was a unique person.

Seeing the familiar style in another world, even Keqing couldn't help but reach out and start flipping through it.

Unexpectedly, not only is the surface content relatively straightforward, but the content in the book is also straightforward, but its content is indeed beyond Keqing's imagination.

"Divine Thunder Atlas... this is..."

This is a book that records in detail the abilities, regions, and effects of various divine thunders. Thunder, as one of the most powerful natural forces in the world, actually has many divisions and various effects.

The many divine thunders are also divided into three major categories: sky thunder, earth thunder, and heart thunder.

The main purpose of the sky thunder is to destroy and attack. The sky thunder with extremely strong destructive power is the most powerful force in the world. There are various types of sky thunder, such as Sanqi True Thunder, Jiuxiao Mysterious Thunder, Zixiao Divine Thunder, Yinyang Thunder, etc.

Land mines are mainly auxiliary, although not as destructive as sky thunder, but they are first-class powerful in other aspects. This kind of thunder is just the opposite of sky thunder. For example, Yi Mu Thunder, which possesses the power of vitality, is thunder bred by the earth. It can resurrect the dead, or it is the earth marrow thunder that can enhance the strength of the body. Under the cleansing of this thunder, the bones will become strong, and the talent will be elevated, which is a much broader path of cultivation than ordinary people.

In addition to the above two types of thunder, the remaining is the heart thunder; and the heart thunder does not have a fixed effect. They are illusory and unpredictable, and invisible but seemingly visible.

The output of heart thunder is various, heart, thought, soul, void, etc.; that is, the heart of all beings, the wish of all things, the invisible soul, and the realm of nothingness.

The abilities of heart thunder are mostly related to the soul, spirit, heaven and earth soul, etc., and therefore are invisible, ignorant and elusive. Most of these thunders are planned within the scope of heart thunder.

This book recording divine thunder described all of this very clearly. Keqing read it with great interest, almost becoming fascinated by it.

It not only describes the environments in which various divine thunders appear, but also various methods of using the divine thunders, and teaches people how to subdue these thunders for their own use.

Keqing was amazed that someone could find a way to use such powerful forces of heaven and earth for their own benefit. And seeing so many methods, each divine thunder corresponded to a different method. It was conceivable that these methods were obtained by the ancestors through step-by-step attempts.

This made Keqing think of Kanreya, the country that was once not ruled by gods. It is said that the development of Kanreya at that time even surpassed the gods and reached a higher level.

The exploration of the unknown by the humans there is very similar to that of the people in this world, but in comparison, the world and humans here are too powerful. After all, Kanreya is a collective. To put it more clearly, it is like a large machine, and everyone is a part of this machine.

Once a part is missing or has problems, the entire country will be affected. In Keqing's opinion, Kanriya is still too weak. It has an endless desire to explore, but cannot suppress its existence and protect the power brought by curiosity. In the end, it will burn itself.

Keqing, who had vaguely guessed part of the inside story, shook her head slightly. Strength is sometimes necessary. In terms of disrespecting the "Eye of God", Keqing is probably unique.

Because she wants people to see her ability more than her strength; however, as time goes by, Keqing also knows that only by having enough strength can she make the road ahead smoother and better assist herself.

"More important than the source of power is the one who uses it"

Is not it?

What's more, the Eye of God was born from one's own wish.

But this is part of one's own ability, isn't it?

As she thought about it, Keqing's thoughts gradually became distracted, but she quickly collected her thoughts and continued reading the pages in front of her.

However, when she turned to the next few pages, some descriptions on them caught her attention.

"Alien divine thunder?"

In fact, there are many kinds of divine thunder in the world, not all of which have been recorded and can only be classified into these three types. There are also some divine thunders with strange abilities and unknown origins. Some divine thunders can even coexist with humans naturally.

The "alien divine thunder" described in front of us is one of them. It is also called the "seed of thunder". It is rumored that it may be a regular alien species, born with extraordinary abilities.

It is rumored that this kind of divine thunder comes from a foreign land and carries the aura of another world. It can completely ignore the shackles of the three levels of divine thunder in this world. As for its specific abilities, no one knows.

"Another world..."

After hearing the above description, Keqing thought of herself first. After all, she also uses the element of lightning, and the above description is somewhat consistent with herself.

She continued reading. The book said that people with special powers of lightning were born with a strong sense of lightning, and could control it at will as long as they were guided.

And it is not restricted by spiritual roots. People who possess strange thunder are born without spiritual roots.

Keqing frowned, as what was written in the book sounded more and more like herself.

"Could it be a coincidence..."

Chapter 20: Clearing the Clouds

The following is a record about "strange thunder"...

However, the content came to an abrupt end, and the whole book had reached the end.

Keqing couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad. She seemed to be lost in thought. Her thoughts turned to this unfamiliar path, the pavilion she had never seen before, and the familiar-looking books and descriptions related to herself in front of her. Suddenly, she had an epiphany.

In just a blink of an eye, the surrounding environment changed.

She looked around and saw no pavilion on the path. She had not left the place at all and was still on her way back.

On the side, Little Coal Ball chirped.

[Master, why don't you reply? Do you regret it? ]

[People need very little energy, just a little bit, so just take one tenth of it each time. ]

Its noisy sound came to her ears, but Keqing looked at it calmly with the same expression as before.

"If you keep arguing, you won't get even one tenth of it."

The little coal ball immediately shut his mouth, and the world became quiet again.

I looked around again, but still didn't find any clues, as if the moment just now was just a dream.

……

……

When I returned to the room, I didn't know where Little Coal Ball had gone. He was nowhere to be seen.

Keqing sat at the table, thought for a moment, and took out a thunder crystal from the Chen Ge pot.

The gorgeous purple crystal sparkled with wonderful brilliance, like a pure gem, but Keqing could feel the powerful and incomparable lightning force inside the thunder crystal from the palm of her hand.

Thunder crystal is a crystal formed by the condensation of lightning. The thunder power inside is naturally not accessible to ordinary people. Unlike the five elements, thunder, as a symbol of heavenly punishment, is full of destructive power. Even the landmines, which are known as auxiliary, have a destructive power that is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

However, such a destructive force was in her hands. Keqing even felt that the power in the thunder crystal had an inexplicable attraction to her, as if it had awakened something and made her want to take it for herself with an irresistible desire.

Before, Keqing thought that it was because the power of the Eye of God was exhausted that it affected her. After all, that was her wish. However, after reading the book, her thoughts changed a little.

Perhaps, it is not the lightning that attracts the Eye of God, but itself?

"The book says that people who possess strange lightning are born with a natural sense of lightning, but this sense does not allow them to control lightning. Only with the help of unique magic weapons can they use this power."

Keqing looked at the Eye of God that she had taken down...

The Eye of God, perhaps it is that magic weapon?

"However, using the power of magic weapons is ultimately a bad idea. Although the potential of the alien thunder is unlimited, it will only restrict one's own upper limit and it will be difficult to improve one's strength."

Keqing murmured.

"Indeed... Later on, no matter how much I practiced swordsmanship and went to the mountains and wilderness to hone myself, my strength could not be improved. So, is it just because of the limitations of external objects?"

She felt that she had worked hard enough. Although she had rejected the Eye of God before, she finally understood and accepted it, and used it to become stronger. Even Keqing was confident that she could be compared with Ganyu, who was half human and half fairy.

However, that day, when he saw Ganyu remove the Eye of God and show his true strength, that arrow pierced through the sky and earth, like a falling meteor, giving the enemy a powerful critical hit, his own pride was instantly shattered, even if he was

No matter how proud Qing is, she has to admit that there is a gap between herself and the other party.

After all, she is just a human, not a fairy. She can only rely on the Eye of God, but the other party does not need it. For a moment, she felt shaken in her efforts.

Are all the previous efforts worth it?
