The immortal body is called Teevat

Liyue Rebirth Hall

"Hu Tao, cough cough cough, have you memorized all the funeral rituals that I asked you to memorize yesterday?" Hu Xiucheng asked Hu Tao weakly.

"Grandpa, don't look down on me! As the future head of the Wangsheng Hall, of course I have memorized all those funeral rituals. It's not difficult at all. Hehe." Hu Tao retorted to her grandfather in a very playful way, and then made a face.

"Now that you have memorized it, recite it to grandpa, the future head of the Wangsheng Hall." Hu Xiucheng looked at his ten-year-old granddaughter with a smile on his face.

"Okay! Then listen carefully, grandpa! Things to know about funeral etiquette..." Hu Tao talked incessantly about the knowledge about funeral etiquette, and told it all without missing a word.

After Hu Tao finished speaking, Hu Xiucheng also smiled with satisfaction because of Hu Tao's outstanding talent and recalled: "Haha, my granddaughter has really grown up. She is a genius picked out of a million. I remember when your grandfather was reciting these etiquette and knowledge."

"Because I was too stupid to memorize it, your great-grandfather got angry and didn't eat for several days, haha." Hu Xiucheng seemed to be reminiscing about the past, his eyes revealing a kind of nostalgia.

"Hahaha, a stupid grandpa is a stupid grandpa. When I become the head of the Wangsheng Hall in the future, I will expand the business of the Wangsheng Hall to all seven countries."

"By then, the Wangshengxing will have branches in all seven countries. Then, grandpa can enjoy a peaceful life without working and go out with guest official Zhongli to drink tea and walk the birds."

Hu Xiucheng looked at the lively and smart Hu Tao and agreed: "Okay, okay, my little Taozi is the most caring. Don't blame me if I spend too much Mora. After all, the life of Zhongli and Keqing does cost a lot of Mora."

"How could that be? By then, the income of our Wangsheng Hall will surely increase several times, and we will not be poor even if we can hire a few more Zhongli guests."

……

"Hmm? Ahem..."

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhongli? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No problem, maybe you just have a slight cold. You can go back and rest early today."

...

"Um... OK, OK."

"Grandpa, the Lantern Festival is coming soon. You promised me half a year ago that you would go with me to watch the lanterns. You can't go back on your word!"

"Grandpa, please don't fall asleep while watching the night lights. After all, I've been sleeping and eating for more than half a year. I'm so lazy."

Hu Xiucheng patted Hu Tao's head and laughed: "How could I, an adult, eat the words of a child? Don't worry. If you talk about grandpa like this again, grandpa will spank you."

"Then you take a rest first, Grandpa. I will go study the funeral knowledge of other countries." Hu Tao felt something was wrong and quickly found an excuse to leave.

"After all, if our Wangsheng Hall wants to expand its business to the other six countries, we must follow local customs and hold special funeral ceremonies for them."

Then Hu Tao quickly ran into the study and began to study diligently, leaving Hu Xiucheng lying on the recliner.

After seeing Hu Tao had gone far away, Hu Xiucheng let go of his forced state. He could clearly feel that his life was like a candle in the wind, which would come to life with a slight blow.

But he knew that he couldn't go with peace of mind now, as he still had obsession in his heart. Perhaps this obsession could help him live longer.

After all, Mr. Zhongli once said that when a person's obsession is too strong, it may be able to delay birth, aging, sickness and death.

What Hu Xiucheng couldn't let go of was the issue of his granddaughter Hu Tao taking over as the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall. She was only ten years old. How could she possibly take on such a big responsibility?

He looked at the sun that was about to set and really hoped that it would set later, just a little later...

……

The combat effectiveness of the Thousand Rocks Army stationed in the Blood Demon's territory has been greatly improved in the past year or so. The reason for this is the guidance from the immortals in the secret realm.

Moreover, there were even a few outstanding students who took leave to participate in the Qianyan Army Martial Arts Competition.

They fought bravely on the field and demonstrated their outstanding strength.

Although they didn't win first place in the end, they all won awards, which is a huge honor for them.

When other soldiers asked why their strength had increased so quickly in more than a year, they just smiled and modestly said to their colleagues: "It's just luck. There's nothing special about it."

In addition, ever since their Qianyan Army moved into this godforsaken place, some treasure-hunting groups who like to imagine too much have begun to have improper intentions.

In order to seize their treasure, they began to harass the Qianyan Army constantly, trying to prevent them from stationing here.

After all, this group of people generally believe that there must be some unspeakable secret in a place like this that made the Liyue authorities specially send a Thousand Rocks Army team to garrison here. It is very likely that there are some precious antiques or treasures.

Obviously, the final result was that those treasure-stealing groups who intended to enter the mysterious realm of Blood Demon to find out the truth were captured by this team of Thousand Rocks Army.

Originally, the members of the treasure-stealing group were very confident. Their numbers far exceeded that of the Thousand Rocks Army. Although they could not completely defeat the Thousand Rocks Army, escaping should not be a problem.

As a result, they found out that this group of Qianyan soldiers seemed to be the elite among the elites. Before they knew what was going on, they were captured by the Qianyan soldiers on the spot. They were then taken to the General Affairs Department for detention.

The Thousand Rocks Army was surprised to find that after they were stationed in the mysterious land of Blood Demon God, they not only earned more money than before, but they could even get merits for capturing treasure-stealing groups from time to time.

After being taught martial arts by the immortals, they are now able to easily defeat several thieves from the treasure-stealing group. They can even fight against some powerful monsters.

They all discussed privately that this was a fairyland, and many people expressed their opinions, saying that since coming to the mysterious realm of Blood Demon God, they felt that they were extremely lucky.

“I never thought that I would be able to achieve this day! Last time, when those blind treasure-stealing groups came, I captured five of them by myself.” A Qianyan soldier said excitedly.

"Yeah, I also feel that I've been extremely lucky recently! Not only can I return safely after every mission, but I can also get a lot of rewards." Another Qianyan soldier also echoed.

"What do you think? Is this because we are stationed here and have the blessing of the immortals?" a Qianyan soldier joked.

"Haha, that's right. If the immortal hadn't taught us martial arts, how could those treasure-stealing groups have been able to defeat us so easily? We should thank the immortal for his blessings!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

After this, the Thousand Rocks Army worked even harder to carry out their mission. They knew that only by protecting the mysterious realm of the Blood Demon God could this immortal fate continue.

Wu Cheng also gained some faith from such events. Although the total amount is not much, it adds up to a lot.

The Qianyan Army soldiers were about to celebrate the Lantern Festival, but unfortunately, they could not return to Liyue Harbor to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Otherwise, what would the extra travel allowance be used to subsidize?

In fact, apart from the Thousand Rocks Army in the city, it is difficult for the remaining Thousand Rocks Army soldiers to return to Liyue Harbor to celebrate the Lantern Festival. After all, this is the time when the treasure-stealing group is active.

It was as if these treasure-stealing gangs were rushing to achieve year-end sales, committing crimes and stealing everywhere like crazy, making most residents miserable.

Therefore, most of the Qianyan soldiers could only find joy in their hardship in the place where they were defending. They would buy some ingredients to make a table of rich dishes and have a big meal as if it were the Shanghai Lantern Festival.

Just as they were patrolling as usual to protect the Blood Demon God's secret realm territory to prevent other outsiders from disturbing the immortals, more than a dozen people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the secret cave.

However, the Qianyan Army did not ask too much. After all, it was normal for anyone to come out of the immortal cave. Even wild beasts and monsters were normal.

In addition, the leader was the immortal who often greeted them and taught them martial arts. Naturally, they had no need to be afraid.

So even though the Qianyan Army does not believe that this secret realm can accommodate more than ten immortals, these other people are at least people who have obtained great immortal fate.

When the Qianyan Army saw Wu Cheng, they all performed the gun salute commonly used in Liyue to express their respect for Wu Cheng's arrival, and then continued their patrol at Wu Cheng's nod.

After all, anyone with a little insight knew that the immortal was going out to do some business, and they were embarrassed to bother him any more. All they had to do was guard the area around the immortal's cave.

After all, this immortal is not arrogant. As long as he has time, he will definitely give them some pointers. By the way, he will also ask them to send a bunch of manuscripts to the Steambird Newspaper Office in Fontaine.

Wu Cheng felt quite favorable towards this group of innocent young men from the Qianyan Army. At least Ye Lan did not assign them the task of following him all the time.

Otherwise, Wu Cheng might really want to kill these Qianyan Army soldiers. After all, he had promised before that he would not carry out a massacre in Liyue that would not happen once in a decade.

If Ye Lan really did what he had imagined, it would undoubtedly be a sign of distrust in him, and Wu Cheng would think that there would be nothing to talk about with the official forces of Liyue.

At worst, he can go to Xumi to develop his power. Now the little Grass God is still being locked up in a birdcage in the Jingshan Palace by the big beast Azar. They have imprisoned their strongest combat power.

Moreover, the city defense of Xumi is even worse than that of Inazuma. Although Inazuma is now in power with a bunch of bad people, no matter what, they also have a regular army.

In order to save trouble, Xumi directly outsourced the defense plan of Xumi City to a group of 30 mercenaries.

After all, in the eyes of the scholars in the House of the Order, fighting and killing is not what scholars should do. They need to spend more time thinking and exploring knowledge.

As for managing the army, which was meaningless, they would not do it, so they simply handed it over to the mercenary group.

After all, the mercenary group often escorted scholars into the rainforest and deep desert for investigation, and the two sides had a good basis for cooperation.

Not to mention that there are many factions in this hellhole of Xumi. There are not only conflicts between the forest people and the sand people, but also conflicts between scholars and the lower classes, and conflicts between mercenary groups.

In short, in Wu Cheng's view, Xumi is a powder keg that is about to explode, but there is no fuse to ignite it now.

Wu Cheng did not think that the Xumi authorities had the ability to wipe out his religious organization. First of all, not to mention the complex terrain of the Xumi rainforest, it would not be difficult to hide there.

Not to mention that Xumi outsourced all its military affairs to mercenaries, and these irregular troops can only do a marginal job in managing public security on a daily basis.

Not to mention letting them fight with him. In fact, Wu Cheng had looked at the alchemy map and found that the territory of Xumi was less than 300 kilometers west of the Mysterious Realm of Blood Demon God.

Although it sounds far, this distance is actually very close in the continent of Teyvat.

Wu Cheng also once asked the Qianyan Army about any villages or other things nearby.

The unanimous answer from the Thousand Rocks Army was that there was no human habitation within a hundred miles of the area, and because there was no value in developing this area, it was a strategic buffer zone in the Liyue plan.

There is no need to build too much infrastructure or other things here. If there is not enough land in the future, it will not be too late to develop this place.

After listening to this, Wu Cheng looked at the alchemy map with a hot look in his eyes. Isn't this the way for his sect to become prosperous?

It is located at the border of the two countries and there is no one living around it. It is surrounded by lush forests and is easy to hide. This is a land sent by God!

However, Wu Cheng knew that it was too far-fetched to think about this at this moment, as he saw that there were only four days left until the Lantern Festival.

So they woke up the children early and Mr. Cesar told them that he was going to take them to Liyue to visit the Lantern Festival. He also told them about the itinerary.

Of course, all expenses for the tour during these few days were borne by the Blood Moon Cult's finances. Although that was what they said, in reality, it was Wu Cheng who was paying with his own money.

How could the Blood Moon Cult have its own finances now? It was even a compliment to describe it as a makeshift group.

The Blood Moon Cult now has no other believers except Cesar and Meshar. The cult's income now depends entirely on him, the only bishop of the Blood Moon Cult, to subsidize the cult.

The supplies worth 1000 million Mora were basically consumed within this year, and this was only under the premise that the cult had less than 20 people.

When there are more people in the sect in the future, Wu Cheng can't imagine how astronomical the annual expenses will be, so many problems will eventually become the same problem: money needs to be raised.

Wu Cheng also planned to take advantage of the Liyue Lantern Festival to visit Liyue Harbor to see if there was any business that could be done.

After all, the royalties from writing novels are limited, and making money is the bottom line.

The children also knew that they were going to Liyue Harbor to celebrate the Lantern Festival. With great curiosity, they also wanted to witness the most lively festival in the entire continent of Teyvat.

As a native of Fontaine, Cesar has heard many people around him say that Liyue's Lantern Festival is very lively, so he regards going to the Lantern Festival as an experience of life.

After making sure that everything was ready, Wu Cheng and his party set out from the Mysterious Realm of Blood Demon God and headed towards Liyue Harbor.
