Chapter 64 (Exclusive to Jinjiang Literature City)
Jingyuan told Baishu about the "Fengrao Min" mainly to remind him not to blindly pursue "immortality," not because he really wanted to anger someone to death.
Seeing his strong reaction, Jing Yuan felt a little regretful: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
“It has nothing to do with Mr. Jingyuan.” Bai Shu waved his hand at Jingyuan and said, “This is just an old problem of mine.”
Changsheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Jingyuan, you don't need to blame yourself."
Once Bai Zhu had fully recovered, Jing Yuan asked, "How is your body?"
Having lived a long life, Jingyuan immediately saw through Baizhu's abnormal physical condition.
"It's nothing, just a small price to pay," Bai Shu said dismissively.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
"In any case, please take good care of your health, Dr. Bai." Since the two were not yet intimate enough, Jing Yuan could only hint at it.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jingyuan," Bai Shu said. "I will."
Bai Shu came to find Jing Yuan mainly to inquire about the medical situation on the Immortal Boat Luofu.
In his view, since Jingyuan was able to travel the world, the medical level there must be much higher than that of the isolated Teyvat, which made him, as a doctor, very curious.
"I heard that Xiangling went to the Immortal Boat Luofu with Mr. Zhongli and the others." Seeing Jingyuan nod in confirmation, Bai Shu continued, "I wonder if I would have the honor of going to Luofu to take a look?"
“Of course,” Jing Yuan said with a smile. “Luofu welcomes all tourists with friendly intentions.”
Communication between intelligent people is actually quite easy, and Bai Shu naturally understood the meaning behind Jing Yuan's words.
As long as he doesn't do the same things the people of Fengrao do in order to achieve immortality, the Immortal Ship Luofu will open its doors to him.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Jingyuan, I know what I can and cannot do," Bai Shu assured Jingyuan.
He's a doctor, and his pursuit of immortality is solely for the purpose of curing the world's ailments. It would be absolutely unacceptable for him to harm people.
Jing Yuan smiled and nodded, but did not speak.
This guarantee was nothing but empty words in Jing Yuan's eyes. Even though he was willing to believe Bai Shu, the renowned physician in Liyue, as a high-ranking member of the Immortal Ship Luofu, they would secretly monitor all those seeking medicine until they were confirmed to be harmless.
There's no way around it; the allure of immortality is just too great, and there are plenty of precedents to learn from.
As long-lived species, they have personally experienced the pain that comes with longevity, but these are nothing in the eyes of short-lived species.
They might even think that immortal beings are just being pretentious, and since they've already achieved immortality, it's only right that they suffer a bit.
Many people share this idea, and Jing Yuan doesn't want to say anything more about it. In any case, as long as you dare to cross the red line, you should be prepared to be hunted down by the [Patrol].
“Mr. Zhongli and Miss Keqing have already set off with their people. If Doctor Bai wants to go to Luofu, he will have to wait a while longer,” Jing Yuan said.
Since it involves the safety of two worlds, no matter how anxious Bai Shu is, he must wait until the Immortal Boat Alliance and Liyue truly establish a friendly relationship before he can go to Luofu through official channels. Otherwise, he can only be considered a stowaway, and the Immortal Boat Alliance's methods for dealing with stowaways are not very pleasant.
Bai Shu nodded: "I understand."
He never thought that simply meeting Jing Yuan would grant him access to the Immortal Ship Luofu. Bai Shu's main objective was to obtain medical technology from other worlds.
"Mr. Jingyuan just mentioned that the longevity lock he gave to Qiqi contains witchcraft power," Bai Shu asked curiously. "Is that also the power of Mr. Jingyuan's hometown?"
“No.” Jing Yuan shook his head. “It was one of the powers from the world I lived in before I came to Teyvat.”
"Oh? It sounds like the power of that world isn't just witchcraft." Bai Shu became even more curious. "Mr. Jing Yuan, could you elaborate?"
“Just like your Teyvat, in addition to elemental power, there is also phlogiston and lunar power. Other worlds will naturally have different powers as well.” Jing Yuan did not intend to attract more attention to that world that was still in its growth stage, so he shifted Bai Shu’s attention to the Immortal Ship Alliance. “Similarly, the Immortal Ship Luofu has more than just the power of [Hunting].
The Immortal Boat Alliance advocates pragmatism. On the surface, they follow the [Hunter] Star God, but that doesn't mean that all of them believe in [Hunter]. There are many people in the folk who believe in [Preservation] or [Knowledge], and the authorities never suppress them.
The reason is simple: both the power of [Preservation] and the power of [Wisdom] are very practical.
As long as you don't go to extremes, it's not a big deal if you believe in "Abundance" right under the nose of the Immortal Boat Alliance. It's just that because the lessons learned from the past were too painful, the Immortal Boat Alliance will pay special attention to these people.
Jing Yuan successfully diverted Bai Shu's attention from the new world. After all, mysterious things like the Star God and Fate always easily arouse human curiosity, even though Bai Shu knew that Jing Yuan was deliberately changing the subject.
There was no way around it; he was just too curious about the outside world.
Through Jingyuan's description, Baizhu came into contact with a completely new world.
Star gods exist like concepts, travelers walk on different destinies, and there is laughter and sorrow in the universe.
He listened to Jingyuan recount how Pinocchio transformed from a remote prison into a coveted event, and how Yalilo-VI, after surviving devastation, once again proclaimed its return to the world…
Jingyuan was a competent storyteller. Through his words, Baishu and Changsheng, who had never left Teyvat, seemed to truly witness the magnificence of the starry sea and the indomitable spirit of heroes.
“I regret it,” Bai Shu suddenly said. “I shouldn’t have come to find you.”
Seeing Jing Yuan looking at him with a questioning gaze, Bai Shu sighed and said, "What you've said makes me want to abandon Bubu Lu and travel with you to the stars."
"Hahaha." Jing Yuan chuckled, "It would be quite interesting to have Doctor Bai accompany me on my travels."
"What a pity, what a pity," Changsheng sighed. "Bai Shu would never abandon Bu Bu Lu."
It also longed to travel among the stars, but it had signed a contract with Bai Shu, and Chang Sheng could not be separated from Bai Shu until the contract between the two ended.
Moreover, Changsheng was really worried that if he didn't keep a close eye on Bai Shu, this person would really torment him to death.
Oh dear, this is really worrying for snakes.
After seeing Bai off, Jing Yuan sent a text message to Qing Zu, inquiring about the current situation of the Li Yue group in Luo Fu.
Qingzu's reply was quick and concise, containing only the four words "Everything went smoothly".
Seeing this concise and clear reply, Jingyuan felt relieved.
He hadn't been in Teyvat for long, but after collecting and organizing information about the world, Jing Yuan felt that there were many secrets hidden behind the Teyvat continent.
It mainly concerns the secrets of the [Abyss] and the [Sky].
Although he has retired from his high position, Jingyuan has long been ingrained with the flavor of a corporate slave after hundreds of years.
This makes him, no matter which world he goes to, first and foremost concerned about whether there are unknown dangers hidden behind that world.
In the previous worlds, apart from the Taoist world which brought Jing Yuan great surprises, only the world of Muzan Kibutsuji made Jing Yuan feel that he needed to pay more attention.
As for the continent of Teyvat where he is now, Jing Yuan feels that the waters here are deeper than those of the other worlds he has visited before.
Unfortunately, he can't contact the Trailblazers now, otherwise he could ask them about the Teyvat collections they saw in the Black Tower space station.
Of course, Jing Yuan did consider contacting Ms. Black Tower, the owner of the Black Tower Space Station, directly, but according to the information he received, she seemed to be researching a certain topic and was temporarily unable to leave.
Currently, Zuo Youjingyuan has a friendly relationship with Morax, the Demon God of Liyue. It is likely that once the two sides officially become allies, Morax will be willing to reveal some secrets about the Sky and the Abyss.
“You seem to trust that Morax a lot,” Qingzhu said.
Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Once you spend more time with him, you should be able to understand why I felt that way."
“You two are very similar,” Aozu said. “Similarly, this also means that the other is very dangerous.”
Just like Jing Yuan, who is not known for his martial prowess, his strength is genuinely at the level of a Commander.
Moreover, this person has an easy-going face, like a cotton ball without a temper, but he has a lot of bad intentions inside.
If you think he's easy to talk to, then you've fallen into a trap.
“It’s good to be cautious.” Jing Yuan didn’t think there was anything wrong with what Qingzu said, especially since the Immortal Ship Alliance didn’t have a deep understanding of the Teyvat continent at present.
If it weren't for the middleman being Jing Yuan, the former General of Luofu, the Immortal Boat Alliance wouldn't have paid much attention to Teyvat, since it wasn't on the hunting list.
After all, their daily routine in the Immortal Ship Alliance consisted of killing bountiful monsters and saving planets ravaged by them, while also keeping an eye on where their own Emperor Bow Master had gone and whether there were any messes that needed to be cleaned up.
Teyvat has always been well protected due to the laws of nature. The few outsiders that have ever crossed the border have all been dealt with, and their remains have even been made into the Heart of God, which shows how domineering the guardians of this world are.
We've gone off on a tangent.
Aozumi agreed with Jingyuan's words.
Based on their interactions over this period, Aozumi clearly realized that this oldest Daedric Lord of Teyvat was a difficult character to deal with.
The opponent is not only exceptionally strong in combat, but also possesses considerable intelligence.
“After all, this is the person who unified the Teyvat currency,” Jing Yuan said with a smile. “When dealing with him, you should be extra careful.”
He believed in Fu Xuan and Qing Zu's abilities, even though their current "opponent" was Morax.
Morax has many titles in Liyue, such as "God of Noble Gold," "King of Geo," and "God of Commerce," which are countless. Just by hearing these titles, you can tell that he is an expert when it comes to "money."
Coincidentally, Luofu Immortal Ship in the Immortal Ship Alliance is also in charge of commerce. Now that the two sides are facing off, it's quite a head-to-head confrontation.
"To be honest, I'd love to see with my own eyes how Fu Qing and the others negotiate with Mr. Zhongli," Jing Yuan said with a smile.
Qingzu laughed too: "Why don't you come back now so you can catch a live version?"
"Hey, now?" Jing Yuan blinked. He was planning to visit other countries before going back.
"Come back," said Qingzhu. "We miss you."
She spoke with an exceptionally serious look in her eyes.
"Everyone in Shence Prefecture misses you very much."
With that look in his eyes, Jingyuan couldn't resist at all.
He chuckled softly, his expression incredibly gentle: "Alright, I'll head back right away."
