Chapter 10 - A Deal with Ningguang

"I am Zhongli, a guest consultant at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. I know a bit about real estate. If you're looking for a place to settle down, I can help you find one," Zhongli said.

"This…" Yunyan was taken aback.

"Is there something you're hesitating about? Feel free to tell me," Zhongli glanced at her.

"Well, the currency here is Mora, right? I was wondering if I could exchange some Magic Treasures for Mora?" Yunyan asked directly.

"I see," Zhongli understood, then said, "I can certainly introduce you to someone who can help with that."

"That would be great. With your knowledge, Mr. Zhongli, could you appraise these Magic Treasures?" Yunyan took out several Magic Treasures from her spatial ring.

"These three are all high-grade Magic Treasures. This one is called the Soul Soothing Umbrella. Anyone under it will find their souls soothed and spirits nourished. This one is the Flowing Cloud Sword. If the user knows some techniques, they can move as fast as their shadow, greatly enhancing their strength and speed. Finally, these are the Swift Travel Boots. Even ordinary people can increase their endurance and stamina just by wearing them, and they also increase speed in combat."

"Hmm…" Zhongli looked at the Magic Treasures in front of him, then slowly said, "These Magic Treasures are indeed quite powerful and extraordinary, but they are not suitable for ordinary people in Liyue right now."

"Then?" Yunyan asked, a little puzzled.

"How about this? I'll introduce you to someone who might be interested in these Magic Treasures," Zhongli suggested, after a moment's thought.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhongli," Yunyan replied.

"You're welcome. Please wait here for a moment," Zhongli said, nodding and then standing up to leave.

Yunyan glanced at Xueyue, who was silently sipping tea nearby, and saw her staring at her expectantly.

"Master, are you going to sell all of these Magic Treasures?" Xueyue asked.

"What else can we do? We don't have any money in this world, we can't even buy a house," Yunyan pouted.

"Then why don't you sell the Elixirs, Master? I remember you made a lot of them," Xueyue said.

"That's right! Compared to these Magic Treasures, healing Elixirs that can cure illnesses seem easier to sell."

Yunyan suddenly understood, but then gave a slight cough and said, "It doesn't matter, there will be other opportunities in the future."

After a long while, Zhongli returned. Behind him was a tall woman, wearing a yellow qipao, with long white hair and an elegant, mysterious smile.

"This place is simple, and the hospitality is lacking. I apologize. Please, have a seat," Zhongli said to the woman behind him.

"It's alright. Since I can enjoy tea here with Mr. Zhongli, this place must have something special," the woman said with a smile, unconcerned. She then sat down.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Zhongli said to Yunyan.

"This is Miss Ningguang. She not only possesses astonishing wealth, but also has unparalleled influence and strategies in Liyue," Zhongli said with a smile, his tone calm as he introduced her to Yunyan.

Ningguang nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a shrewd and wise glint. She was dressed in gorgeous attire, her elegant demeanor radiating a captivating charm, much like a blooming peony.

Zhongli then said to Ningguang, "And this is the important guest I mentioned to you earlier – Miss Yunyan."

Yunyan smiled and nodded, her gaze clear and profound, giving off an air of mystery. Her posture was straight, her movements graceful, exuding an otherworldly aura.

Yunyan stepped forward and politely extended her hand to Ningguang, saying, "Miss Ningguang, I've heard much about you. Seeing you today, your aura is truly extraordinary. I hope to receive your guidance in the future. You may call me Yunyan."

Ningguang grasped Yunyan's hand and chuckled softly, "You flatter me. You can just call me Ningguang. I heard you have a few Magic Treasures for sale. May I take a look?"

Yunyan handed three Magic Treasures to Ningguang, who examined them carefully, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

"These three Magic Treasures are all extraordinary, especially this Flowing Cloud Sword. If used properly, it will surely become a powerful weapon," Ningguang praised.

Yunyan was delighted and quickly asked, "I wonder, Miss Ningguang, are you willing to make an offer and buy them?"

Ningguang smiled, "The price is negotiable, but if I'm not mistaken, you should be an Immortal, right?"

Yunyan glanced at Zhongli, but saw him shake his head slightly.

"How did Miss Ningguang know?"

"I've also met the Immortals of Liyue. You have a kind of aura that mortals don't possess. Besides, the few Magic Treasures you casually produced are all rare treasures. It's clear that you are an Immortal," Ningguang said, her gaze profound, her face always bearing an elegant smile.

"As expected of Tianquan Ningguang, your insight is truly extraordinary," Yunyan praised, then admitted her identity.

"That's right, I am indeed an Immortal, but I'm slightly different from the Immortals of Liyue."

"Since you are an Immortal, I'm willing to purchase these three Magic Treasures for five hundred million Mora each. What do you think?" Ningguang said.

Yunyan looked at her deeply, then slowly said, "Although they are Magic Treasures, their value shouldn't be that high, right?"

"Of course. It's partly an acknowledgment of the Immortal's Magic Treasures, but actually, I have another condition. I hope that you can help me out sometime in the future." Ningguang said with a smile.

As expected, Ningguang is truly not simple! She only said she would help, but didn't specify when or what kind of help she would need.

Yunyan smiled slightly, thinking: Well, if that's the case, then I'll wait until she needs something and she can come to me. After all, with Ningguang's methods and wisdom, she'll probably be able to know where I'm staying in Liyue at any time.

Thinking of this, Yunyan nodded in agreement.

Because in this world, having one more friend means having one more source of strength, and someone as capable as Ningguang is even more worthy of befriending.

Perhaps one day in the future, when I encounter difficulties, I might be able to get her support and assistance?

There's no choice. Without Mora now, I don't even have a place to stay. Being under someone's roof, I have to lower my head. Besides, we will inevitably have interactions in the future.

Seeing her agree, Ningguang smiled slightly.

Subsequently, the two of them conducted their transaction under Zhongli's observation, and Ningguang departed, completely satisfied.

"Tianquan Ningguang, truly remarkable," Yunyan said, watching her go.

"Indeed, her methods are truly astonishing. The fact that she's reached her current position proves her extraordinary abilities," Zhongli agreed, taking a sip of tea.

Next, with Zhongli's assistance, Yunyan found a place to settle down, purchasing the entire building to serve as their headquarters in Liyue.

"Tianquan Ningguang, possessing a Vision, and judging from her aura, she even has the strength of someone in Core Formation. Her extraordinary means are clearly not just based on intelligence," Yunyan recalled Ningguang's aura from earlier.

It seemed that the strength of those with Visions in Teyvat varied. Xiangling was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but Ningguang was even stronger.
