I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

To relieve his stress, Li Lin decided to go to Liyue Harbor to see the pretty girls in the game.

"Don't you Liyue have that black-stockinged, tearful cat-head hairstyle?" Li Lin said. "Let her come keep me company!"

“I guess you’re referring to Keqing, one of the current Liyue Seven Stars,” Zhongli explained helplessly. “If you can find her—but why not Ningguang?”

“Because I don’t like women who look like Zhen Huan at first glance.” Li Lin curled his lip. “Besides, Ningguang is already thirty years old.”

"Of course, I am not saying this to attack any woman's age, figure, or appearance. I hereby formally pledge to respect every woman's autonomy, respect the rights and interests that women should have, protect women's rights, and protect the status of female workers. As an open and inclusive Teyvat international financial center, Liyue Harbor should have a prominent role played by women."

Li Lin added, staring with dead fish eyes.

177 I overslept, you guys won't be mad at me, right?

Li Lin ultimately failed to visit Liyue Harbor. On one hand, Zhongli strongly urged Li Lin to visit his own cave first and learn the three old tricks of the immortals. On the other hand, there were also pretty girls in Jueyun Karst.

There's still Shen He, isn't there?

Li Lin's eyes lit up at the thought of the traditional Liyue attire, including a tight leather jacket and open-toed high heels.

Zhongli was completely unaware of this, and they quickly traveled from Wangshu Inn to Jueyun Pass via the earth's veins.

The ley lines that span the entire continent of Teyvat are a somewhat clever design choice. They are a conceptual network connecting everything in this world, with different elements flowing through them. It is rumored that everything above and below ground is recorded in the ley lines, which is why you can get money and food just by mining ley lines—essentially, it's no different from tomb raiding.

Sometimes, ley lines emerge from the ground in secret realms, growing into ancient, silvery-white trees stretching for tens of kilometers. Through the existence of ley lines, some beings are able to travel quickly throughout the continent.

However, this feeling is hardly pleasant, almost as bad as Apparition.

Mount Taiwei is a strange, deserted mountain in the depths of the clouds. It is adjacent to the cave dwellings of two immortals, the True Lord of Flowing Water and Stacking Mountains and the True Lord of Retaining Clouds and Borrowing Wind. It faces the Daoist temple of the True Lord of Shaving the Moon and Building the Sun across several peaks.

These are the three immortals of Liyue who are currently living in seclusion in the mortal world and cultivating in Jueyun Mountain. It's not that there are only one deer and two birds left in Liyue's immortal system, but rather that apart from them, all the others are minor immortals of lower rank.

Perhaps it was Zhongli's prior notice that made these three immortals aware that they would have a new neighbor, and they started making preparations early on.

The once deserted and overgrown foothills have been cleared away, and the rugged ridges have been carved into stone platforms and the beginnings of caves. Pieces of amber, sharp as swords, have emerged from the soil, adorning the entire Taiwei Mountain as if it were cast from topaz.

Clearly, this is the work of the Water and Mountain Master, who is most skilled at regulating the earth's veins and harmonizing its energy.

At the summit of Mount Taiwei, the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars blends with the sea of ​​clouds. As the sea of ​​clouds flows and turns, countless stars also merge into a vast ocean.

"Connecting with the heavens above and the earth below. This is the philosophy of Xiaoyue Zhuyang." Zhongli stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, watching the brown immortal deer ride away on the clouds. "Among the many immortals, Xiaoyue Zhuyang has the most benevolent nature and is extremely accomplished in the art of talismans."

"The True Lord of Yin-Yang Absorption?" Li Lin's focus was rather strange.

Isn't "carving the moon to build yang" just "absorbing yin to supplement yang"?

Zhongli closed his eyes, pretending not to hear.

The three immortals of Jueyun had all participated in the sealing battle against the Dragon King Ruotu. They joined forces to create a grotto-heaven and sealed the Dragon King Ruotu under Morax's suppression.

Of these three immortals, the True Lord of Water and Mountain Crafting has profound knowledge of earth veins, the True Lord of Moon Carving and Sun Building is skilled in talismans, and the last one, the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing, is good at the art of mechanisms, namely the elixir cauldron.

The "Golden Elixir" path passed down among the Liyue Immortals is not about taking an elixir of immortality that can grant eternal life and instant ascension to godhood. It is essentially a simulation of the natural world. Low-level elixir cauldrons can be used to enhance weapons, while high-level elixir elixirs can be transformed into armor, weapons, and flying swords. The purest Golden Elixir is a hypothetical model of the world, where purity and turbidity are still uncertain.

The "Three Eyes" in the Three-Eyed Five Manifestations Immortal refers to the divine eye that can manipulate the elements, or the "inner eye" that is not outwardly revealed; the "Five Manifestations" refers to the transformation of the five elements and five energies, which are minor spells and supernatural powers such as "Freedom in the Sky" and "Wandering in All Realms".

The true secrets of the Liyue Masters are only three: alchemy, talismans, and landscapes.

Golden Elixir is an alloy forged by immortals, talismans can leave behind immortal power in the form of symbols, and external landscapes can create cosmic caves through the power of mental imagery.

Among the Liyue Immortals, the one most skilled in creating landscapes is not in Jueyun Karst, but in the most prosperous Jade Capital Terrace in Liyue. His immortal title is "Gechenlang City True Lord".

“I guess you want to ask why I don’t teach you these things…” Zhongli knew what Li Lin wanted to say with just a glance. He shook his head helplessly. “I am an Immortal Ancestor, but that doesn’t mean I am better than these True Monarchs in these skills. They have already mastered one of them to the highest level.”

"Oh," Li Lin replied indifferently.

Zhongli was a little confused. Oh, what kind of attitude is that?

Under normal circumstances, one should not ask "What can you do?" and then casually reply, "Do I know a little bit of everything?"

Somewhat frustrated, Zhongli casually said goodbye and left again using the earth's veins.

Having silently caused Master Zhong a loss, Li Lin walked triumphantly toward his cave dwelling. As a "Heavenly Lord" in a class of his own, his rank was almost equal to that of the Rock King Emperor, so his cave dwelling was built much larger than those of the other three immortals.

As Master Li reached the door, a white-haired girl wearing a long robe and carrying a peach wood sword walked out from inside.

Upon seeing Li Lin, she bowed to him expressionlessly: "Respected Master Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, your disciple Shen He pays respects to Dongming Lihuo Tianjun."

Li Lin's eyes widened.

It's not because Shen He is pretty, okay, that's one factor, but the most important thing is, what about that outfit that looks so extravagant?!

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's two disciples each received half a garment; isn't this a tradition of your sect?

Feeling deceived, Li Lin became furious.

The white-haired girl, whose cuffs, hair, and wrists were all bound with red ropes, bowed to Li Lin again and took out three invitations from her long sleeves. The contents of the invitations were all the same—they all said that the three True Lords were hosting a banquet for Li Lin in their caves.

However, Li Lin was still indignant about Shen He's behavior of betraying his master and ancestors.

Completely bewildered, Shen He handed the invitation to Li Lin and then took a step back: "The True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng entrusted me to Taiwei Mountain to answer your questions at any time. The True Lords Lishui Dieshan and Xiaoyue Zhuyang also entrusted me to cultivate here."

This is equivalent to sending Shen He to be Li Lin's handyman disciple.

However, this is not to demean oneself. Countless people have visited Jueyun Pass to seek immortality over the centuries, but very few have been able to stay and cultivate here. Those who have passed the two tests of heaven and earth, Qingyun Peak and Taishan Prefecture, and shed their mortal bodies are even more rare. As a result, Shen He is the only one still cultivating in Jueyun Pass.

Under these circumstances, the three immortals of Jueyun naturally imparted all their knowledge to Shen He. Unfortunately, Shen He had no talent in the alchemy of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, and the earth vein ability of Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun was unique. However, she had learned a few parts of the talismans of Xiaoyue Zhuyang Zhenjun.

The fact that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun sent Shen He to Li Lin's place was naturally partly to probe his intentions.

Tiangong Nian: "Heavens, I think this True Lord is practically pushing his own daughter into a fire pit."

"We may be close, but I'll sue you for defamation if you say that," Li Lin said, then turned to Shen He with a lewd smile, "Little sister, want to see Uncle's treasure?"

178cm tall, very good at chatting

"Okay."

Shen He blinked, looking somewhat expectant.

Because of the red rope she was bound to, not only was the ominous energy of her destiny suppressed, but her humanity and emotions were also suppressed and made indifferent.

She was born with two types of destiny: Lonely Star and Calamity Star. The former is one of the four pillars of destiny, while the latter is one of the eight characters of destiny.

"But Lord Liuyun rarely lets me handle weapons."

At this moment, a few lines of text popped up in the upper right corner of Li Lin's vision.

Tiangong·Year: "Let me tell you a secret—the calamity of the Robbery Star is unavoidable. You will be running around in vain in various profit-making fields. You must beware of the complete destruction of your ancestral property. How can your wife and children live long?"

Li Lin solemnly recited the text to the barrage of comments: "The calamity is unavoidable, and one will only run around in vain in various profit-making fields. One must beware of the complete loss of ancestral property, and how can one's wife and children live long?"

The Robbery Star, also known as the Great Sha, indicates that those with it in their destiny have a strong personality and a direct and straightforward style of doing things. They will be blessed with good fortune and suffer misfortune when encountering bad fortune.

The Lonely Star signifies solitude, typically associated with an independent and self-reliant personality who is not easily approached. It implies uniqueness and represents independence, solitude, stubbornness, and self-reliance.

If a man's fate is marked by the "Lone Star" (孤辰), he will find it difficult to marry. If a woman's fate is marked by the "Lone Star," the male line of her family will be cut off, and she will be destitute and helpless throughout her life. Unless she has the help of a noble person with the "Heavenly Nobleman" (天乙) in her fate, she will inevitably wander the world.

People with the Lonely Star in their destiny are usually stubborn and aloof, wandering and unstable, without the support of relatives. If there are additional inauspicious stars, they are more likely to have physical disabilities or mental abnormalities.

In conclusion, people with the Robbery Star (劫煞) tend to have strong or aloof personalities and need to pay close attention to their health. The Lonely Star (孤辰) primarily signifies loneliness and a cold, unapproachable personality.

People afflicted by the Lonely Star and the Calamity Star in their destiny often have poor marriage prospects and are prone to dying alone.

Tiangong·Nian: "—In summary, that's it."

Tiangong·Nian: "Although I don't know the difference between the metaphysics of Liyue and Da Yan, I think since it is based on the time of birth, it should be pretty much the same."

Li Lin stood with his hands behind his back, raising his head proudly: "In conclusion, that's it, although I—"

Tiangong·Nian: "You don't need to copy the last sentence!"

Li Lin seemed to understand something: "We don't need to copy the last sentence."

Shen He blinked. Although the Insightful Heavenly Lord of Li Huo said some strange things at the end, his previous assessment of his fate was completely consistent with the divination given to him by the True Lord of Shaving the Moon and Building the Sun in the past, and even clearer.

She suppressed her emotions with the red string, but she wasn't truly stupid.

With a wave of his hand, Li Lin sent the Lament Spear flying from his left arm and embedding it in the ground.

The moment the ornate spear tip touched the ground, a refreshing fragrance wafted out, bringing a lump to the throat and stirring up memories of life's hardships, causing the entire platform to bloom with pure white lilies of the underworld.

"I heard that True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng taught you a set of spear techniques. Show me." Li Lin's sleeve was half empty, and it was blown around by the mountain wind like a fat intestine.

Shen He didn't dare touch it, mainly because she had witnessed the entire process of Li Lin's arm turning into a gun.

Li Lin hadn't thought that much about it, but Nian and Talulah hinted in the live stream chat that he might be able to learn a couple of tricks from them.

As everyone knows, Master Li has never seriously used his spear skills since he forged the Lament Spear.

Over there, Shen He finally drew the Lament Spear at Li Lin's urging. The moment his hand touched the shaft, a deep sorrow emanated from the spear, even breaking through the red rope's blockage and obstruction.

Shen He felt a lump in his throat and tears inexplicably streamed down his face.

Just then, a gust of wind blew in the distance, and a large bird with blue cloud patterns leaped out of the clouds from the top of Qingyun Mountain and flew towards Taiwei Mountain.

Tiangong·Nian: "Hahahahaha."

The viewers in the live stream immediately burst into laughter and cheers.

During their conversation, they learned that the blue crane was Shen He's master, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, one of the Three Immortals of Jueyun.

Oh no, the deliveryman just happened to be here.

At that moment, Li Lin quickly grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and threw it into his eyes. Then he turned to look at the mountain wind, tears streaming down his face.
