The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 15: Innate God's Eye Insulated Holy Body

"You are Welcome."

Zhongli watched Chen Tianfeng just pick up the teacup and take a sip, with a trace of regret in his eyes, and said: "There are actually two other reasons for using the technique as a reward."

"I'd like to hear the details." Chen Tianfeng's mouth was full of bitterness, without any sweetness at all.

"My friend, your Qi is naturally generated. Even without the help of a technique, you will naturally achieve a breakthrough and enlightenment in three months or five months at the shortest." Zhongli looked serious, not like he was fooling the ignorant boy. "In addition, the technique I accidentally obtained is a fragment. It is so old that I don't know which immortal wrote it."

"So, although the technique is precious, its effect is limited. It just helps you save a few months of effort."

"Saving a few months of effort is already very impressive." Chen Tianfeng said: "And not to mention the skills, just the information that you told me is already very valuable."

"You deserve it, my friend."

Zhongli waved his hand and said, "My friend has such a talent, and I just happened to meet you. If I do nothing and let this beautiful jade be covered in dust, it would be wrong."

Chen Tianfeng blinked his eyes, rather unconfidently: "Am I really that talented?"

Even Emperor Yanwang has to praise it?
“Not only outstanding, but also unique.”

Zhongli seemed to smile, and his voice had a magical power that made people believe: "My friend has a stable mind and does not like external things. He has rejected the Eye of God from birth, so he is most suitable for practicing martial arts."

???

For a moment, Chen Tianfeng couldn't figure out whether Zhongli was really praising him. What the hell was the Innate Rejection of God's Eye?

The Innate God's Eye Insulated Holy Body?
Or are the gods too busy with their work to pay attention to outsiders?

Zhongli didn't explain much, he got up and went back into the house. After a while he came out with a piece of gold paper with small characters densely written on it.

Chen Tianfeng quickly moved the teacup away, took the gold paper, and studied it attentively.

One sentence, two sentences...
Chen Tianfeng paused, silently took out a dictionary from his bag, asked Zhongli for paper and pen, copied a copy of the exercises, and made annotations.

The gold paper was not big, and even if it was filled with small characters, there were only more than three hundred of them.

Chen Tianfeng read it through and nodded with satisfaction. Very good, there are no words that I don’t recognize.

His confidence grew greatly, and he began to carefully study the unnamed Qigong method of more than 300 words. Then his eyes gradually became clear and blank, as if he was staring blankly at a college student who was giving a lecture in front of the blackboard while his advanced mathematics teacher was giving orders.

What is this?! Why can I recognize every word, but can't understand it when put together?!
Why is the technique so obscure and difficult to understand? Aren't you afraid that people will misunderstand it and go astray in their practice? !
Don’t be in a hurry. As the saying goes, “Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear.” Read more and you will understand it.

Chen Tianfeng calmed down and read it again, once, twice, three times... He spent more than ten minutes and successfully memorized this technique. However, there was no enlightenment in his eyes, but a clear feeling that seemed to be uncontaminated by knowledge.

Read a book a hundred times and you will understand its meaning!
How come this thing is more real than math - I just don't understand it, and it seems like it's useless no matter how many times I read it.

Chen Tianfeng rubbed his temples and took a deep breath of the cold night air.

Zhongli looked at Chen Tianfeng in confusion, feeling quite puzzled.

Could it be that... the technique he just wrote these past two days is not clear enough?

"Well, what don't you understand, little friend?"

"Hmm! I don't understand!" Chen Tianfeng nodded heavily.

"What exactly do you not understand?"

“···I don’t understand anything.” Zhongli: “···”

Zhongli seemed to sigh, amused and helpless: "Let me explain it to you, young friend."

The teapot and cups were temporarily pushed aside. An old man and a young man gathered together at the stone table. Under the moonlight and lamplight, one explained seriously, breaking down the more than 300 words of the exercises, and taught them word by word; the other listened carefully, adhering to the concept of "a good memory is not as good as a bad pen", holding a pen and ink to take notes, and showing the learning attitude of his senior year in high school.

Chen Tianfeng was thick-skinned and asked questions openly about things he didn't understand, and asked for advice again about things he didn't remember clearly. Zhongli patiently taught him, showing no sign of impatience, and even enjoying it. Occasionally, when he got excited, he would demonstrate it himself, and only when Chen Tianfeng really understood and learned it would he move on to the next explanation.

Time flies by without you noticing.

at the same time,

In a secret base somewhere in Liyue Harbor, Qian San knocked on the door. After receiving a promise, he entered the base, came to the owner of the place, and bowed.

"My lord, it's done."

Qian San stood up and took out a few sheets of Liyue office-specific paper with wet ink, and placed them on the desk in front of Ye Lan with both hands: "As far as the result is concerned, I think that the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, Mr. Zhongli, should be just an ordinary person with extensive knowledge."

"Oh? Tell me your reasons."

Ye Lan picked up Qian San's report and read it page by page.

After learning that the Wangsheng Hall had such an extraordinary guest, she planned to test it out. It so happened that Ningguang was going to do the "broken snow" thing this time, and a gust of wind happened to blow, so she just went with the flow.

Let Qian San go and see how Mr. Zhongli reacts.

"It just so happened that the largest piece of 'broken snow' fell on the tree in Mr. Zhongli's courtyard. I led two people into the courtyard and they quarreled under the tree. Mr. Zhongli did not step out of the door in the face of this accident."

"Mr. Zhongli has a rock-attributed God's Eye, but he has probably never developed it, let alone fought. The element detector detected the fluctuations of the elemental force guided by the God's Eye, which was indeed very hasty and unfamiliar."

"Therefore, I can confirm that Mr. Zhongli is indeed an ordinary God's Eye owner who is knowledgeable and not good at fighting."

Qian San bowed his hands, and after he finished telling the information he had learned, he looked a little hesitant: "There is one more thing..."

"Speak." Ye Lan glanced at him and said calmly, "Qian San, indecision and concealment are not good habits."

"Yes, Lord Yelan."

Qian Sanshen agreed and nodded decisively, saying, "Everything went well with the plan, but just as we were about to finish, a young man with a knife showed up. I think he's a potential dangerous person, so I want to investigate and monitor him."

"Okay, I agree."

Ye Lan finished reading the report, put it aside, and turned her eyes to Qian San: "Next time you encounter something like this, don't hesitate, report it first and then investigate. What if that person is a vicious person and comes to you before you and kills you with a knife? By then, even if I want to avenge you, I don't know where to start."

"Lord Ye Lan, there are no such vicious thieves in Liyue Harbor..."

"That's because you are still young and inexperienced, and you don't know the wickedness of human nature."

"···"

Qian San secretly glanced at Lord Ye Lan, who might be even younger than him, then shut his mouth and rationally chose not to argue.

"Okay, let's go back. Also, you've worked hard today."

"Subordinates retire."
