Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Chapter 295: “First Entering” Wild City

This is Ying's first time coming to Manghuang City.

Although Ying took the fairy boat from Tianya Island, it still took him nearly a week to reach Manghuang City. Although he could clearly see the border of Manghuang City from Tianya Island floating in the sky, it was only after he actually walked through it that Ying realized how long this road was. Perhaps this is the reason why they said that they would never stop until they had reached the mountain.

When he was able to take in most of Manghuang City, Ying finally knew what a glorious world was. Even Fengyang City, known as the land of hope, pales in comparison to Manghuang City. No, there is even a huge difference.

Ying had already been amazed by the size of Manghuang City. As she got closer, she was amazed by the mountains, rivers, carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and towers. It was a pity that she could see them but not touch them along the way. Ying only hoped to reach Manghuang City as soon as possible.

Fortunately, they were not riding horses but fairy boats, so they could travel even at night, and the Great Wilderness had not been eroded by evil spirits, so it was quite safe even at night. They traveled day and night, and Ying played with Jiang Lan when she had nothing to do on the fairy boat. Occasionally, when she felt lustful towards the other party, she would find an excuse to talk to Ming Ruo and Xiao Ying. By the way, she also learned a lot about the Great Wilderness, the affairs of the King of Tianjing, and the experiences of the Ancient Sage of Tianhuang.

She thought she had mastered the rules of interacting with the monks from Tianya Island, but she also knew that if she kept dragging it on like this, Jiang Lan would not be able to hold back sooner or later. Moreover, after returning to Tianya Island, she would have to face both of them at the same time. Ying felt increasingly unconfident in her own willpower.

"How about just obeying them?" Ying thought so, and felt a certain restlessness in her heart, but when she thought about meeting Gui Yan in Manghuang City soon, she had to suppress this restlessness in her heart temporarily, and continued to keep a close but appropriate distance from the two masters of Tianya Island.

Fortunately, the immortal boat was very fast, and Ying was sandwiched between the two palace masters, and finally arrived at Manghuang City "safely".

"Should we go see the Ancient Saint of Tianhuang or the King of Tianjing?" Ying asked Xiao Ying, "According to what you said, the Ancient Saint of Tianhuang is quite respectful to the King of Tianjing. And with the King of Tianjing, the ruler of the Great Wilderness should still be the King of Tianjing, right?"

Xiao Ying did not answer immediately. She looked at Ming Ruo, who shook his head gently and said, "No, let's go see the Ancient Saint of Tianhuang first. King Tianjing only returned to the Great Wilderness not long ago. He may not know as much about the Great Wilderness as we do. As for the etiquette, I believe he won't mind."

"Okay." Ying nodded without thinking too much, and the fairy boat had just stopped.

There are also many fairy boats traveling in the sky above Manghuang City, but none of them can be as magnificent as the fairy boats of Tianya Island. But it makes sense, after all, the owner of Tianya Island is here, and these fairy boats also symbolize the facade of Tianya Island. Perhaps it is true as Yun Guijun said, the owner of Tianya Island likes to put on airs.

However, Ying was more curious about how Tianya Island had reached an agreement with the Ancient Saint of Tianhuang, allowing all the cultivators of Tianya Island to enter the Great Wilderness. Ying even felt that Xiao Ying and Mingruo's status in the Great Wilderness was not low. Just by cooperating to deal with the celestial beings, could Xiao Ying allow the entire Tianya Island to have such a status?

However, the two of them naturally would not tell Ying about this. As for Bai Ruoxi, Jiang Lan, and Qu Ning, their memories had changed long ago, and they took all this for granted.

Thinking of Qu Ning, Ying turned around and saw Qu Ning walking out of the fairy boat with a cold expression on her face. Her look was exactly the same as when she issued a wanted order for Ying in Fengyang City, and it was completely different from when he called her sister before.

As for the reason, that's easy to guess. For her, today was supposed to be the day for her family to pick up her daughter, but she didn't expect to meet Xiao Ying and Ming Ruo on the way. It just so happened that the two of them were also coming to Manghuang City, so a family trip turned into a business trip to Tianya Island. Qu Ning naturally felt a little depressed.

Seeing Qu Ning like this, Ying couldn't help but smile, and said closer: "We have to go see Qu Ming later, you are not afraid of scaring her with your bitter face."

"No way." Qu Ning's frown deepened. But when she looked up, she found that Xiao Ying and Ming Ruo were also looking at her. She had to quickly change her mood and return to her working state. At the same time, she sent a voice message to Ying, "It's all your fault. You are an important person in front of the island owner. I think the island owner might not have planned to come here, but he made this trip just for you."

"Why do you think so?" Ying asked.

"Hmm - I can't explain it, I just have this feeling, especially in recent times, the island master and the others have obviously spent more time on you. To be honest, at the island master's level, you are just one step away from becoming a celestial being. However, although the path to becoming a celestial being is not cut off, it is almost impossible to become a celestial being. Could it be that they want to find a way to become a celestial being from you? After all, you are from outside this world, and you may have a way to circumvent the restrictions and become a celestial being."

Ying had heard about this kind of thing from Jiang Lan before. The fact that she was a hermit was no secret on Tianya Island. Because of this, although she was Qu Ning's sister, she was only a sworn sister, and there was naturally no blood relationship between the two.

Regarding attaining the Tao and becoming an immortal, although there is no saying that the path to immortality is cut off in the Great Wilderness, there is a saying that there is an upper limit to the number of immortals. Xiao Ying once told Ying about this.

"This world was almost destroyed by the Celestial Immortals, so the Ancient Saint of Tianhuang deliberately set a restriction when separating the Great Wilderness from the rest of the world. Only two Celestial Immortals can exist in the entire Great Wilderness."

However, Ying had also heard about the existence of a third celestial immortal, and as a result, that extra immortal naturally became the enemy of the Ancient Sage Tianhuang.

These things are not secrets to some top forces in the Great Wilderness, and it is normal for the cultivators of Tianya Island to know about them, but ordinary people in the Great Wilderness have no way of knowing them.

But Ying still felt it was a little strange. Couldn't he win over the extra celestial beings? Why did he have to make them his enemies?

Unfortunately, the idea that the third immortal is an enemy seems to be a matter of course, and no one will answer Ying's question.

Ying also felt that there were too many things in the Great Wilderness that she thought were strange but others thought were natural. But on second thought, the Wind God of Mondstadt hardly cared about anything, and the people of Mondstadt did not find it strange. But for the people of Liyue before the "Emperor was assassinated", it seemed strange that the gods did not care about anything. Maybe this is what is meant by habit.

Xiao Ying brought Ying to the outside of the palace of the Ancient Saint Tianhuang. This place was different from the palace of the King of Tianjing. It was not in the center of Manghuang City, but close to the border. The buildings around it were relatively sparse. Looking around, there was a vast grassland. From time to time, the sounds of cattle and sheep could be heard not far away. It was obvious that this was a place where herdsmen grazed.

As for the palace, although it is a palace, the area it occupies is not very large. At least compared with the status of the Ancient Sage of Tianhuang, such a building can even be said to be a bit simple. It does not look like the residence of the ruler of the Great Wilderness, and it is much smaller than the houses of some leaders of small forces.

The spiritual energy around here is relatively thin. If Manghuang City had different housing prices based on location, the housing prices here would surely be quite cheap.

"We're here." Just before Xiao Ying brought Ying to the palace, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

In Ying's eyes, the ancient sage of Tianhuang was a man with white hair and beard but a young face. He held his head high and chest out, and his whole body was like a benchmark. Ying found that the other party's gaze fell on him and he straightened his back unconsciously.

"Fellow Daoist Ying, you are here." The Ancient Sage Tianhuang first greeted Ying, and then nodded to Xiao Ying and Ming Ruo.

After a brief greeting, the Ancient Sage Tianhuang invited them into his palace. There were not many attendants in the entire palace, so it seemed a little deserted, but it also gave people a sense of contentment. At least Ying did have this feeling, and even she was a little surprised.

Although she had met many important figures or gods who ruled a country, she would feel a little restrained at least at the beginning when facing these people. But in front of the Ancient Sage Tianhuang, she felt very natural. The ruler's friendliness really surprised her. During the conversation, Ying didn't even have to think too much and naturally continued the other person's words.

However, the content of the conversation was mostly about the political affairs of Tianya Island. Ying thought that they would have some exchanges on the incorporation of Tianya Island into the Great Wilderness, but it was obvious that Xiao Ying had reached an agreement with the Ancient Sage of Tianhuang a long time ago. The conversation between the two did not mention this aspect. Instead, they talked about how many natural materials and treasures the disciples of Tianya Island needed to refine weapons and elixirs, and how some Tianya Island cultivators wanted to go to Manghuang City for training, and how to arrange them specifically.

Finally, they talked about King Tianjing again. At this time, Ancient Saint Tianhuang suddenly said to Ying: "Speaking of His Majesty King Tianjing, Daoist Fellow Ying may not know that His Majesty is still an old friend of Daoist Fellow Ying."

"Hmm?" Ying tilted her head in confusion, "Who is it?"

Not long after, Ying was brought to the palace of King Tianjing by the Ancient Saint Tianhuang. There, she saw Sangge smiling awkwardly and said to her, "Fellow Daoist Ying, long time no see..."
