I'm in the Teyvat running group

Then, he pointed to the actions of several students and said seriously, "At least, they have understood what kind of existence magic really is."

As she spoke, Yunxiu walked forward on her own and stood between the two students. She casually extended a finger and activated the automatic counterattack spell. The power of the two students vanished instantly, like mud oxen sinking into the sea. Not even the dust on Yunxiu's robe was stirred up!

He casually conjured a chair and sat on the platform. With a magic trick, his voice immediately resounded throughout the entire school: "Thanks to Lord Tianxuanxing, I've come to the Imperial Academy to teach you. But I don't quite like Lord Tianxuanxing's way of speaking. Teaching children is really too boring."

"what?"

"Who is this kid?"

"His name is Yunxiu. He is the son of Lord Tian Shu Xing and is also a rising star in Liyue Harbor recently!"

"May I ask, Mr. Yunxiu, if you find this boring, what brings you to the Imperial Academy?" A student surrounded by a crowd stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said earnestly, "We have long heard of your strength, and we know that we are far inferior to you. But surely you have come here for something interesting."

"A clever lad." Yunxiu looked at the student seriously. "What's your name?"

"I am Yun Ce," the student said respectfully. "Strictly speaking, we are from the same clan."

Chapter 104 A Raw Jade Unearths Divine Brilliance (First Update on Saturday!)

The main family? The Yun family is indeed a very large family...

Moreover, there have been many who have been selected as "Seven Stars" for dozens of generations. As far as I know, there are four in my own lineage alone, and there are even more in other lineages.

Thinking of this, Yunxiu couldn't help but become curious: "Now that you know my identity, you must also know what I've done, so why are you standing here now?"

“I learned from Uncle Yun that you are the developer of the Elemental Barrier and the Spirit Sealing Cave Mirror.” Yun Ce pointed to the people behind him and said with feigned distress, “If it were a fight, even if we all attacked together, we probably wouldn’t get any benefit from you, so I’m shamelessly revealing my identity in order to ask for some prizes.”

“Besides… didn’t you also say that ‘maximizing one’s advantages’ is the foundation of an adventurer?” After saying that, Yun Ce said with great interest, “After thinking about it, my greatest advantage is probably only this identity as a cousin.”

Good lad, just as shameless as I am...and clever!

From the very first sentence, Yun Ce set several traps for Yun Xiu. He first praised Yun Xiu's strength, then revealed his own background, and finally touted Yun Xiu's magic...

If Yunxiu were to do anything else at this point, it would be fair to say that she would be making a fool of herself here today.

“Alright…” Yunxiu said with a hint of helplessness, “I’ll ask a question, and as for what prize I’ll offer after I hear the answer, that will depend on everyone’s abilities.”

"please say."

"Listen carefully." Yunxiu said with a hint of amusement in her eyes, "Legend has it that when a desire is strongest to the extreme, the gods will bestow upon you the Eye of God, but elemental spellcasters do not need the Eye of God. So, is this behavior 'blasphemy'? Suppose the Rock King Emperor were to bestow upon you the Eye of God at this moment, would you accept it?"

The crowd behind immediately began to rustle.

In terms of the Eye of God system itself, they are not actually "divinely gifted people", but the issue is not that simple.

Yunxiu was right when she first told Tianxuan that after obtaining the Eye of God, one must discard it in order to achieve greater improvement. That's correct.

Conversely, even those without the Eye of God should try to condense it, because the Eye of God represents the purest desire, which also means that, in a certain sense, the Eye of God represents the purity of "spirit".

A person who can gain the gaze of the gods and the eye of the gods must be a very pure person, in any aspect of purity.

This is actually the problem with Fanes himself.

Objectively speaking, the Eye of God system has indeed stabilized Teyvat.

The Eye of God and the Heart of God are essentially related to the Third Descendant, and the bond between the Demon God and the Eye of God system created the concept of "lover".

This concept directly led to the fact that most of those who could obtain the Eye of God were not 'bad people' in the traditional sense, but the elemental spellcasting system was different; for example, most of the necromancy school were quite evil.

In Yunxiu's view, the Eye of God system and the normal spellcasting system can actually complement each other.

The obvious drawback of the Eye of God system is its limited potential, while its advantage is that it allows one to access the path of the spirit at an early age. Of course, most people will find it difficult to reach the limit.

In the world of Teyvat, the biggest drawback of the Eye of God system is that there are far too few powerful beings. But from Yunxiu's understanding, it's highly likely that Fanes hadn't fully perfected the Eye of God system before he was forced into slumber due to some event...

Therefore, the current Eye of God system is actually not perfect and often experiences problems intermittently.

Of course, the magic system is a terrifying complement to the Eye of God system. The fact that he was able to tap into his own heart and various powers to the legendary level and was not crushed by the power itself shows that his Dao heart must be exceptionally strong.

Once you have the support of a normal spellcasting system, reaching higher ranks becomes a breeze.

As for the answer to the question itself, Yunxiu felt that as long as the apprentices could answer and accept it, that would be enough. As long as they could understand that the two systems could be combined, he would try his best to help them.

If Yunxiu can't grasp this point, then she'd rather wait for the next batch.

“I’ve made up my mind,” Yun Ce said, stepping forward. “This behavior is certainly blasphemous, but I will accept it.”

That's quite an interesting answer! But it's also possible he was just trying to attract attention...

"Oh? Why?" Yunxiu asked with interest, "Since it's blasphemous, why did you choose to accept it?"

“I’ve heard of a product called ‘Heart of God,’ which is said to be superior to the Eye of God. But how did the Heart of God come about?” Yun Ce said seriously, “This means that even the gods themselves may be ‘blaspheming.’ Elemental magic and the Eye of God can genuinely enhance one’s strength. In any case, being powerful is never a bad thing.”

“Heh…” Yunxiu was silent for a while, then took out a +4 Intelligence artifact from her storage bag and placed it in Yun Ce’s hand. She smiled and said, “This item is no longer of any use to me, so I’ll give it to you. Please also gather them together. I will answer some questions about spellcasting itself.”

"Then it would be impolite of me to refuse, cousin." Yun Ce sensed it for a moment and knew that it was indeed a good treasure. He immediately put it on and then quickly went to gather the students who were still discussing it.

Yunxiu sighed inwardly, "I never thought I'd become an old man."

Yun Ce's answer was even better than he had expected. Fortunately, he had completely regarded the Eye of God and the gods themselves as objective phenomena rather than subjective beliefs. Based on this alone, he was worthy of this sacred relic.

He actually had several hundred of these items, but eight out of ten people around him had top-tier equipment or artifacts, and he didn't know who could use them. As for money, after creating two Teyvat 'infrastructures' in a row, he had long forgotten what Mora was.

Of course, he wasn't short of money when he was the Prince of Tian Shu...

After answering some of the students' questions, Yunxiu handed over two hundred sacred relics to Tianxuan to implement a reward system at the school before leaving the Imperial Academy.

After the sealing of the spirit cave and the elemental barrier are set up, Liyue will inevitably enter a period of explosive growth in strength. However, the first group to master this skill will most likely be the most powerful group in the future.

The reason is very simple: it shows that they did not obtain the Eye of God simply because they were not suitable, not because they were not smart enough. And once the potential of this group is exhausted, it will be difficult for someone to "surpass them" in the future.

Once this period of explosive growth has passed, Liyue will have to establish a complete training mechanism starting from infancy to ensure that each generation has enough strong individuals and there will be no need to worry about a lack of successors.

As for the other countries, Yunxiu is quite confident at the moment. Apart from Fontaine, which is still unclear, most of the other countries in Teyvat have a much stronger control than in the original work. Perhaps a spellcaster army of millions will appear soon.

“However…” Yunxiu looked at her fourth constellation and said with a smile, “My fourth constellation should be almost lit up by now.”

The recent promotion and development of these basic spells has greatly benefited Yunxiu, as it has made him more adept at perceiving the seven elements and developing spells. In particular, after further enhancing [Tears of Return to the Void], his understanding of ley lines and spells has deepened.

Back home, I rested for a few days. Apart from occasionally practicing magic in the afternoons, I spent my days reading comics with Yueji, helping Xiangling and Shenhe run their shop at Wanmintang, and going out to find alchemy materials for Sugar while also helping Xiangling find ingredients...

I'll find a girl who's willing to rank up with me tonight to play a game together...

After a rare and relaxing week, the fourth constellation was finally lit up.

[Ling Shu]: The celestial raft crosses the calamity with the sound of the tide, and the primordial energy manifests in a thousand ways.

【Spiritual Pivot Meridian Circulation】: You can call upon your own elemental energy to enhance spell effects. Depending on the type and kind of elemental energy injected, different enhancements will be provided to the skills.

Fire: Increases damage by 0.04% per point;

Rock: Increases shield by 0.05% per point;

Grass: Each point increases damage over time or duration by 0.02%;

Water: Each point increases health or healing by 0.03%;

Ice: Each point increases skill range by 0.05%;

Thunder: Each point increases the additional buff effect by 0.025%;

Wind: Each point increases attack or movement speed by 0.025%.

[Primordial Unity]: You have a deep understanding of elemental energy and can simultaneously develop and use spells using up to 3 types of elemental energy (currently 3 types). Upon success, the spell gains an additional DC +2.

[Star Dice Judgment]: When your elements are depleted, you can roll 3 D20 dice. If the sum is greater than 25, the ley lines will restore half of your elemental energy; if it is greater than 50, it will restore all of it; if you fail, there will be no restoration. This can be done once a day.

[Seeing the Heavens]: Once a day, it allows one to perceive the environment within a 20km radius of oneself, discover the demiplanes attached to this main plane, and find the weak points connecting them.

As for the fifth Heart Seat, Yunxiu glanced at it briefly and found that she had already lit it up, only lacking a name.

The requirements for the fifth constellation are that you must challenge enemies of a higher rank than yourself by two rings at least three times, and play a leading role in the confrontation (regardless of damage, judgment, or other methods of combat), while comprehending the essence of mind/path.

For Yunxiu, who has faced all sorts of monsters, including ladies, eternal dragons, and doctors, this is no problem at all...

As for the essence of the Dao Heart, he had already learned it during the battles along the way.

【Return to the Void】: The Void Realm, where all rivers flow, is a place where the Dao Heart is naturally pure and without flaw.

【All Things Return to Stillness】: When you are under the negative effects of influencing the mind, distorting perception, altering fate, or casting curses, the relevant judgment attributes will be calculated an additional time.

[Insight into the True Nature]: When facing illusions, disguises, traps, and mechanisms, your check proficiency is doubled, and you can make one forced check without mastering the relevant skill; this check's bonus is halved.

【Causal Reflection】: Once you successfully become immune to an attack or interference against you, you can immediately reflect it back to the caster in full, and this reflection ignores distance, dimensional barriers and conventional protection.

[Immaculate Realm]: When the Dao manifests outside, you can designate up to three teammates to enjoy the Constellation effect, but in this case, your relevant judgment bonus is reduced by 2.

At this point, all five constellations are lit up, with only the last one, "Fate," which is filled with question marks. Its description is just one sentence: "Make your own choice when necessary."

What does "when necessary" mean, and what can be called "one's own choice"?

In fact, Yunxiu also discovered this point in her interactions with many powerful individuals over the past few days. Obtaining five colored destiny seats is not actually that difficult. For geniuses, it's like getting into Tsinghua or Peking University; pursuing a doctorate is just a matter of choice.

When you can get one or two rainbow constellations, it means you have a foundation. Getting four or five is just a matter of how to refine them...

But fate is the most unpredictable thing, and reclaiming one's destiny star is essentially a process of "control".

And this rhythm is naturally extremely difficult to control.

Even when Zhiqiong invited him to visit the Draftsmen's Association, Yunxiu still had no interest whatsoever.

Chapter 105 Mapping Mountains and Rivers, Standing Tall and Firm (Second update on Saturday!)

"So... the Liyue Cartographers' Association was established here?"

Yunxiu looked around and couldn't help but exclaim, "This place is so hard to find!"

"Master, I don't have that much money..."

"You can tell me if you don't have money..."

"Besides, most of the draftsmen aren't very wealthy," Zhiqiong said, rubbing her hands together sheepishly. "If they were really in a particularly luxurious place, they might not be used to it."

“But after all, it’s a non-governmental organization with official support, so it’s really too rudimentary.” Yunxiu casually stomped her foot, and the room began to creak and groan. “At least I’ll chip in some money to renovate the room.”

"Then... thank you, Master."

The Cartographers' Guild was built near the docks, in a building that was originally a tavern where dockworkers lived. After Keqing got involved in the planning of the docks, the tavern was taken over, renovated and upgraded, and has become a commercial area integrating residence, entertainment, consumption and dining. This building was naturally left vacant.

But its location was excellent, and Zhiqiong had official support, so she acquired the place with very little money.

"It's alright. What's your next goal?" Yunxiu asked curiously. "You should have finished surveying the shallow layer of the Layered Rock Abyss, but the middle and bottom layers will probably still be difficult for you to completely solve for the time being."

"Seven Stars has chosen Lonely Cloud Pavilion as the battlefield and has already assigned us a surveying mission." Zhiqiong flipped through the notebook in her hand and said, "They will send several Thousand Rock Army squads to follow us. Oh right, Lord Kaiyang Star will also be accompanying us."
