Martial Teyvat Chapter 72
🕑 Added 2025-10-16 19:19:36 +0000 UTC"I thought Jake would get... Snippy, or petty according to how he treated his 'hosts' back in Inzauma. But I didn't think he would just wall himself off from the world altogether." Ningguang said helplessly as she spoke to Yelan who came to report in.
Yelan herself leaning on the arm of a long ornate couch gave a shrug and said. "Hmm, honestly I can't help but think he just wants actual control of his situation."
"That could play a part. Having Keqing and even Ayaka dropped into his lap and wrapping themselves around him. Combined with how much material, and of his efforts are going to Liyue Harbor, along with Cloud Retainer, and Morax's Sects is probably weighing on him."
Ningguang then took a drink of her tea before she said quietly. "But, he is still weak. Keqing will not be able to protect his interests. And... The gods having gotten a taste of such resources, to say nothing of Liyue Harbor's own desire for even just the basic materials."
The beautiful leader of Liyue Harbor helplessly shrugged and said. "We don't want to allow those resources to just... Be lost to Jake's endless storage crates. Or even worse, going into the hands of the sects that have secret dealings with the Abyss."
"And the special weapons that have down so much in helping prevent the death of the mortals guarding the Abyss Gates also plays a part right?" Yelan added with Ningguang just sighing as she took another drink.
There was a moment of silence before Yelan said helplessly. "Ningguang, I can't break into that base to keep watch of him. Even Morax and especially Cloud Retainer can't invade his base via traveling through the void."
Ningguang was quiet for a long while as she gently shook her cup of tea before she said quietly. "Then if Jake wishes to be... Free, free of our protection. Then he may try it. The Abyss has learned of him through their spies in both mortals, and of course demons and spirit beasts. They will test him, and he knows it."
To which Yelan coughed and said. "And Morax? Isn't he pissed?"
And Ningguang without a moment of shame said calmly.
"Morax is busy, after leaving to go bring Jake back to Liyue he has to show off his power at the Chasm to push back the Abyss. He has no idea this has happened, and... If anything if we are lucky, Jake will come out of his hole within the next couple years when Morax is more active with the mortals and takes a break."
After taking a break Ningguang shrugged and said with a wry smile. "Even though Jake has locked down that one facility. It doesn't change the fact that his first facility is still working at full capacity. So, so long as the production of those special weapons continue... It's unlikely for Lord Morax or Cloud Retainer to attempt forceful actions with Jake."
Still after finishing her tea Ningguang sighed and said with a bit of annoyance. "Now if only Cloud Retainer's disciples will quit begging me to have Jake make another one of those cultivation chambers. Even worse, San Ping's own disciple learned about it after Ganyu told Yanfei about it."
To which Ningguang looked at Yelan and said rather bluntly. "Hey Yelan... You are rather talented at making artifacts, your family has five thousand years of history in such a field as well. Why don't you make such a cultivation chamber for the Jade Chamber?"
And Yelan with a twitching eye said with actual disdain. "Ha!? Yeah, more like no. I can make something akin it sure. But without the seemingly invite Spirit Stones that Jake can pull up from the dirt. Then it will just make your beloved Jade Chamber smash into the harbor when it runs out of spirit energy!"
-
"This metal room is too small for all of us!" A voice rang out with some frustration.
The cultivation chamber that Jake built for at most two people to use comfortably was now crammed with four full grown women who were huddled in on themselves to save room in the chamber.
Xiangling, and Yanfei both disciples of San Ping's Immortal Song Sect were more on the petite side so they weren't as scrunched up together... But Cloud Retainer's disciples in Ganyu and Shenhe were on the voluptous side of things.
"The efficency of cultivation within this chamber is more then double the most spiritually dense sites within our sects. Any discomfort is not worth any consideration." Shenhe said bluntly.
Even, all the while she said that, she just ignored the feeling of Ganyu's large spiritual energy mist covered breast was pushing into her arm due to how they had to fold their arms together to fit themselves on the seat on that side.
"Ooooh, why did Jake need to get kidnapped! Didn't he have another chamber back at his house in Liyue? Or even at his alchemy factory, he was going put another one down there... Where even is he?" Ganyu complained.
As even with the discomfort of how packed the last known cultivation chamber that Jake left behind. It was entirely well worth it's use.
As not only was it free due it using the seemingly endless spirit stones coming from Jake's main mining factory. It was also as Shenhe said, just as potent as the most spiritually rich lands within the depths of their respective sects.
"Haaa... Master also was wondering about Jake after Lady Cloud Retainer finally spilled the tea leaves about him. Can you tell us about him while we try to relax?" Yanfei being the more social of the two asked.
Shenhe made a noise before saying bluntly. "Go ahead and tell them Ganyu."
Which Ganyu expected as her junior sister Shenhe wasn't exactly... The most social after all.
And so Ganyu spoke about the weeks she and Shenhe followed Jake around as he worked. Watching as in but a couple weeks, Jake set up a foundation for seemingly infinite alchemy wealth that could create a Sect with millenia of foundation if he had the numbers to fill said sect.
"But... After going back for his wedding to Keqing. He was kidnapped to Inazuma. And now he is seemingly gone to ground now." Ganyu finished with a sigh.
There was a pause before Yanfei giggled and said. "Heh, and Lady Cloud Retainer wanted one of you two to seduce him!"
And without a moment of hesitation Ganyu spat back venom so unsual for herself that bore the Qillin's pure bloodline. "And you coudn't even hope to seduce him with your flat chest as well!"
