Martial Teyvat Chapter 70

Days passed by as I settled back in at home, I spent a good time training in both martial arts as well as just going through my general cultivation training.

Then after five days of training that was also spaced out with training and oif course spending time with not only Keqing. But I also spent a good deal of time with my new 'wife' in Ayaka, and her handmaiden, Kuki Shinobu.

And likewise,e Keqing also took Kuyki a bit under her wing as they were both light-based martial artists.

 Still, after the little vacation I was ready to get the show back on the road. Hence, with Yelan following us in my Pelican ship. With two Nascent Soul cultivators/Martial Saints. We were able to safely get to my production facility as well as my alchemy production facility.

"Hmm, I still need to upgrade the weapons line and such near the Abyss for Lord Morax. Ehh, I think a food production facility here near the alchemy facility would be a good idea as this area is perfect to add onto." I muttered as I took in the surrounding mountains.

And of course, the valley we were in currently had a large river running through it.

On the other hand, Yelan said with a clear warning. "You should probably not add too much to this place. After all, the Joyous Union sect made some moves to approach your alchemy plant."

I smiled and said a bit pointedly. "Didn't Guizhong and Cloud Retainer smack them down when the sect's elders got into conflict with Ganyu and Shenhe?" 

Yelan sighed and nodded but she said rather bluntly. "That is indeed the case, but putting more of a treasure here well and away from Liyue Harbors reach and gaze. While hanging it in front of their sect is just asking for trouble."

To which I stretched a bit and Yelan's face pinched as I said even more bluntly and pointedly. "That is not my issue Yelan. My only goal is the mass production of resources for my own growth. It seems people are getting really confused about how my factories aren't just for the growth of the nation they are in."

Sure, I had no problem dumping the fuck load of excess materials and things I had been making. But it seems that these people needed a reminder that I could just go on strike and not build anything else.

"I am adding a food factory to the alchemy factory for two reasons. One this is the perfect place for it, having the right terrain and natural resources. And secondly, the large river that is already regularly cleansed of monsters, as it's the natural barge path between Mondstad and Liyue as it wraps around the Dragonspine Mountains."

"If this area isn't safe enough... Then make it safe enough. Or hell, I can just make the surrounding area into a death trap that will kill even you a Nascent Soul if you wander into the area."

It was fun being a super 'genius' who could merge super advanced technology with the bullshit that was cultivation. Did you know that high-power Gamma radiation could be easily blocked by a simple tier two array that could cover miles of land?

Yeah, let's see how some cultivators react when their flesh melts, and their prized meridians burst within their own bodies as I had long already learned how spiritual energy was a beneficial form of radiation to begin with.

"My darling husband... Don't even passively threaten a Nascent Soul in an off-handed way, please." Keqing said helplessly as Yelan's painful expression stilled at my threat to make the area into a death trap.

Instead, I just snorted and said flatly. "No, it needs to be said here and now. I got fucking the Knave, after my ass to drag me to the abyss's frozen taint. Mondstadt has tried a honey pot, and god knows what Fontaine and Natlan are up to... The only land I know won't bother to kidnap me is Sumeru, and that's because those two goddesses have it locked down tight."

I shook my head and said flatly. "I'd rather not get kidnapped and waste another month as an 'honored guest' and be in a gilded cage. So Yelan, does Liyue want more food and will help protect my factory, or do I need to make the alchemy and this food factory a death trap?" 

Yelan on the other hand sighed and said helplessly. "Jake, it's not that simple. I am strong,g yeah, but Liyue Harbor doesn't even have ten Nascent Souls as the rest belong to clan's the sects, or are busy dealing with monsters, abyssal invaders, and spirit beasts." 

"So... Once again, my options are to find another patron, which I refuse,e as those clans and sects will try to suck my production line dry. Or make it a death trap... Alrighty! Death trap it is then!"

Yelan's face went stiff as she lost all her typical teasing manner as she said stiffly. "You can't just wait for Lady Guizhong or Cloud Retainer to send Nascent Soul elders to hold this area?!"

"Seems not. Well, at least Ganyu and Shenhe couldn't hold the area in the fact of the Joyous Union sect... I don't blame them when they were outnumbered and generally weaker than those shameless old monsters but still. I need to set this up myself, it seems." I said with finality as I took out my build-gun and got to work.

I had some war crimes to commit after all... As I didn't want monsters or human-shaped monsters to fuck up my shit, to say nothing of having my own safe zone well away from Liyue Harbor if I needed a backup zone.
