I'm in the Teyvat running group

"You know me?" Nasita asked in confusion. "This seems to be the first time we've met."

"If I told you that we once had a dreamlike journey together, would you choose to believe me?" Yunxiu said earnestly, "Then my request is, if you don't have a sage yet, can I be your 'first sage'?"

“Perhaps this is an unexpected twist of fate, just as a bird will always find a tree to perch on on the ground.” Nasita said thoughtfully, “If this is your request, then of course it is possible.”

"That's all I asked for!"

“Alright~” Naxida waved her hand lightly, and the title above Yunxiu’s head immediately began to shine brightly:

<The First Sage of the Little Lucky Grass King: The Wisdom Fruit on the Tree of Wisdom>

Looking at the glittering title above Yunxiu's head, Naxida couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Then, with a flash, she disappeared: "If you need anything, you can just contact me through the void network. It's the kind of communication method that even mushroom beasts can learn!"

"This is so good...so good..." Yunxiu murmured to herself.

To put it bluntly, which may sound harsh but is actually true, objectively speaking, the Little Lucky Grass King was a sacrifice used by the Heavenly Principles to maintain the stability of the World Tree, and was subsequently imprisoned by the Order of the Church for five hundred years.

The traveler and the others rescued Narcida, but what was the first thing she did? After being released from prison, her immediate task was to erase the existence of the Great Tree King within the World Tree and accept the fact that there was no Tree King in this world.

She then permanently lost a part of herself. The Great Tree King's thousands of years of knowledge and related memories, combined with the influence of the World Tree, were almost no different from an Outer God awakening within her, in a more fantastical way.

How long did Nasita possess her true self?

The answer is that from the moment the prisoner is released to the moment the artificial god is defeated, it will only take a few hours at most!

This is actually a source of regret for many people who played Genshin Impact in their previous lives, because that lovely Narcida who talks to you is probably still struggling with her own perceptions and memories.

Was she truly the one who ruled over Sumeru for thousands of years? But whether she admitted it or not, that's how the world perceived her.

It was a rare moment to truly appreciate the existence of Nasita.

Yunxiu then began to investigate the current situation of Sumeru. His authority was extremely high, on par with the Eight Great Sages, so he quickly retrieved the information he wanted.

The bad news is that the dead zone in Sumeru is even more severe than in the previous life, but there is no dead zone in the rainforest. It is mainly in the desert region. Once you cross the Red King's Tomb line in the entire desert region, it is almost a dead zone world.

According to the information Yunxiu obtained from the Order Academy, the entire Ganlu Flower Sea and half of the Thousand Ravine Sands are filled with a death zone, which extends northward and even reaches near Hailu Port, covering an area larger than in the previous life.

Perhaps because the unknown sealer used the power of the abyss to seal it, this dead zone has not expanded further in the past five hundred years.

Although new monsters continue to appear, they are firmly suppressed by the four surrounding countries. Occasionally, when a god-level or legendary monster appears, it is killed by the gods or their followers of each country.

Of course, this information is deliberately downplayed by most countries, and only high-level experts are familiar with the area.

"According to records, the last monster to slay a god-level demon was named 'Ashkabu,' a strange demon that resembled a vine-like creature..."

"The killer was Falgar, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius!"

Yes... this vast dead zone is the place where the Knights of Favonius will ever set out on expeditions in this lifetime.

"The Grand Commander is indeed very strong..." Yunxiu couldn't help but admire, and then continued to search for the information she wanted.

Because the Great Tree King has existed in this lifetime and completely integrated the desert region after the calamity, the Order of the Fathers is now not one of the six major factions, but one of the eight.

Five hundred years ago, after the desert people entered the Council on a large scale, they formed two major factions based on the desert people. These two factions later merged with the scholars of the rainforest and are now two very influential factions in the Council.

The "Number Theory School" focuses on mathematical, logical, and formulaic research, and its academy is Ramanaja Academy.

And the "Spiritualist School," which focuses on the study of soul, consciousness, and spiritual power, is called the Vairocana Academy.

Interestingly, even the Church, which was the first to integrate the desert people, did not follow this pattern. Only the village of Aru and a large number of desert people formed the "Spiritualist School," while the remaining desert scholars basically joined the other six major factions.

However, what no one expected was that a prodigy from the desert would suddenly appear—Sri Nivarasa Ramanaja. He had not received any systematic education, but as if divinely inspired, he acquired a great deal of mathematical knowledge.

After joining the Minglun School, he used his divine talent for calculation to calculate the stars and even the logic of the world's underlying principles. This naturally caused a great conflict with the Minglun School's own astrology, and the academic dispute between the two sides became increasingly fierce.

After he ascended to the level of a sage, he immediately challenged the great sage of the Minglun school at the time, and the two eventually agreed to a duel by "calculation".

However, Teyvat itself is not a purely material world. The debate lasted for seven days and seven nights and ended inconclusively. All the formulas, models and astrolabes left the scholars present speechless, but no one could make a judgment.

It was at this time that the Great Tree King descended and issued a divine decree.

From then on, the Academy had eight major factions, and the Academy was named Ramanaja Academy after the first great sage of the Samkhya school.

"Truly a genius..." Yunxiu wasn't surprised by the sudden emergence of such a genius. After all, Rene and Alan were also mathematical geniuses who appeared out of nowhere. It was normal for some talented people to emerge if the desert was extensively explored by the Tree King...

He quickly finished reading all the basic information. Then he thought that he could try to find a few masters of Sumeru Mechanisms to work together to develop things like the Return to the End Machine. So he used his high-privilege account to post a thread on the Void.

<Wisdom Fruit on the Tree of Wisdom: We are seeking at least three masters of mechanical arts, engineering, and elemental science, with a starting reward of ten million Mora.>

<Those with sufficient skills can reply to this post and attach their work. The work location is Liyue Harbor, the duration is two months, and samples of ancient mechanisms will be provided.>

After sending the message, Yunxiu closed the void.

Just as I was about to get up, I felt a soft body sit down next to me.

Hmm... The scent of the sweet flower essence and the alchemical potion of number twenty-eight... it's sugar!

The pleasant scent made Yunxiu somewhat intoxicated. He stretched out his two big hands and hugged Sugar tightly, greedily inhaling her scent a few times before starting to grope her.

“Mr. Yunxiu…” Sugar was wearing a casual dress and Yunxiu’s favorite over-the-knee socks, revealing an absolute territory that would rank among the top three even among all the female characters in Genshin Impact.

She was so shy that she didn't dare to lift her head: "Mr. Yunxiu... this is something I promised you I would tell you when you came back..."

"Haha, I've been waiting for this moment for so long!" Yunxiu picked up Sugar and carried her straight into the bathroom. The sound of running water could be heard. Tonight was the night he would carry his girlfriend to rank up!

Just how powerful are alchemists?

In Yunxiu's own opinion, Sugar, as a rare fox girl among alchemists, has almost reached the pinnacle in terms of operational precision and sensitivity to competition.

Despite lacking strength, he was quite bold in battle, especially his persistent and unwavering character, which made Yunxiu's journey to climb the ranks a long and winding one, lasting almost all night before finally ending.

Of course, this should also have a lot to do with the fox girl's physique. If Yunxiu hadn't recently honed her skills a lot, the final result of this match would have been very different!

In the end, Yunxiu managed to stay up all night thanks to the powerful 24 points of physique enhanced by the three divine artifacts, and successfully won the MVP award, because this time he really overcame his instincts in the end!

This refers to not forcibly waking up Sugar after she has already finished ranking up and is resting, so as not to start the next game.

Finally, on the afternoon of the second day, Yunxiu woke up from his sleep. This was one of the few times recently that he had slept until the sun shone through the window—Yunxiu's room window was on the west side.

After washing up with Sugar, Yunxiu helped her get dressed and told her to sleep a little longer today. Only then did Yunxiu notice the flashing light on the virtual terminal.

Upon opening it, I was astonished to find that his post had already received tens of thousands of upvotes!

Yunxiu was dumbfounded by the numerous strange replies, the first of which was:

<Do not disturb after get off work: The mission is real. The person who posted it is the first sage under Lord Little Lucky Grass King. Those who are not capable are advised to give up. That Mora is worth your life.>

Chapter 93 Passing on the Torch: The Path Begins to Take Shape (Second Update on Tuesday!)

The name "Do Not Disturb After get off work" and the writing style... I can probably guess who it is...

Yunxiu continued reading, and the second post contained a large number of pictures of buildings and various creations, all of which were exquisitely produced.

<The model collapsed again: Can I fix this? If not, please provide more detailed instructions, client. Sigh, if I hadn't been so unlucky lately and burned my blueprint pack, I should have many more...>

Looking down the rows, Yunxiu saw more and more familiar faces, which was already giving her a headache.

<Fungi Observation Diary: If you can't do it, then there probably aren't many people in Mount Sumeru who can. Confidence is one of the virtues of humanity.>

<The First Senior of the Epistemological School: What kind of mechanical sample? Are there any mechanical samples that this senior hasn't seen before?>

<I'll definitely go to bed early tonight: Ah... I'm so weak, I went to bed too late last night and forgot to revise my paper, and this morning some kind person corrected it for me...>

<Summoning the Seven Sages or not: Because I work in Liyue, do I have to be away for two months? The humor in this joke is...>

“If I’m not mistaken, the order should be Elheisen, Kavi, Tinari, Farusan, Laira, and Seno…” Yunxiu couldn’t help but smile and said, “Let’s invite Kavi and Farusan over, and also invite Tinari over to study whether a stable elemental field can play an important role in crops…”

Yunxiu sent private messages to Model Collapsed Again, the First Senior of the Knowledge School, and the Fungus Observation Diary, attaching a signed contract with the amount of money involved.

The three quickly replied, saying they would be joining the next caravan to Liyue Harbor by ship, which would take about a week.

Yunxiu nodded in satisfaction and went to Wanmintang for dinner with Sugar. Watching Xiangling busy at work, Yunxiu continued to enter the kitchen with practiced ease, chopping vegetables and handing out plates. Her skillful operation instantly reduced the workload in the kitchen.

Interestingly, Shen He is now working at Xiang Ling's restaurant, and at the table outside the door are Xian Yun and two strangely dressed men, slowly studying the menu. In the end, Xian Yun couldn't stand it anymore and asked Shen He to tell the kitchen to bring out one of all the signature dishes before he would stop...

"Aunt Xianyun, you've arrived." She placed a plate of Tian Shu meat on the table, then looked at the two strangely dressed men and smiled, "True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang, True Lord Lishui Dieshan, would you like to try our new dish?"

"Anything is fine...anything is fine..." Seeing that Xianyun had already crossed his arms, the two immortals showed a guilty expression.

He smiled but didn't say much. Instead, he quickly served several dishes to the group, which satisfied the immortals. After the meal, the two immortals left, while Xianyun casually found a place to sit and thoughtfully watched Shen He "working".

"My disciple has now experienced the trials of the mortal world." Xianyun said with his arms crossed, "I thank you no matter what. It's always good to have more life. Even immortals can't completely escape the mortal realm."

"Of course it's a good thing." Yunxiu looked at Shenhe, who was studying in a daze, and smiled, "Aunt Xianyun, how's the matter of returning to Zhongji?"

"I have found a lot of information and old samples of the Returning Machine." Xianyun lightly tapped his finger in the air and opened a peculiar ancient scroll, on which was engraved a strange machine.

This is much more complex than the Returning Machine that Yunxiu knew. If the Returning Machine in the game is more like a large crossbow like a ballista, then this Returning Machine is more like a strange turret. However, the barrel is extremely short and thick, and it does not fire physical projectiles, but rather fairy power or other energy projectiles after elemental power is input.

"I can handle the simple structural restoration and power supply system, but..."

"If there are any problems, we can discuss them together."

“There are two main problems,” Xianyun said, tapping the mechanism of the Returning to the End. “First of all, I am not human, so I do not know how to modify the Returning to the End to adapt to the current human situation.”

"I can find a master of human mechanics to help me with this..."

"Don't rush, there's more." Seeing Yunxiu's puzzled look, Xianyun took out another blueprint and pointed to the core of the blueprint, saying, "The Seven Stars found me and said they wanted to build a second Jade Pavilion and install the new Returning Terminal on it. I have no experience in building large-scale combat weapons."

So they were planning to build a second Qunyu Pavilion...

Fortunately, I have already found several top scholars in Sumeru, so if there are still problems later, I can continue to increase my investment.

“I have contacted several top scholars from the Sumeru Academy, and they should arrive in about a week,” Yunxiu said with a smile. “Among them is the scholar Kavi, who built several large palaces in Sumeru. He should be of great help.”

"Really? That's great." Xianyun clapped his hands, transformed into a streak of light, and sped away. "In that case, I'll go and deal with the Liyue Harbor formation first!"

-----------------

The following period was a busy yet fulfilling time for Yunxiu in Liyue.

Take some time to develop new spells and bring back Tsukihime, who's been wandering the streets.

Together with Xianyun, they developed the Return Machine and brought back Yueji, who had gone to Mingxingzhai to buy random things.

Together with Sugar, maintain the production line and improve the next generation of products, and capture Tsukihime who is running around in the Jade Capital Terrace.

He helped Xiangling gather some ingredients for vegetables that are almost impossible to grow, and he brought back Yueji, whose road would be blocked if Wanwenji held a book signing.

Assist Shen He in setting up the Yuanjian magic array in the Sealing Spirit Cave, and capture Yue Ji who was fishing disguised as a ghost at the port...

The only good news is that his "Seat of Inheritance" has finally transformed into a seven-colored hue after so much promotion. This also means that the number of people who have mastered the zero-ring spell [Elemental Barrier] has finally exceeded one million, and the third constellation has been successfully activated!
