Chapter 527

Both Ke Qing and Shen He were in the General Affairs Department.

The two were discussing something.

Seeing Takumi coming, Ke Qing immediately said:

"You came just in time. The temples of those immortals have already been built. Next, what are we going to do? Do we need publicity?"

Because the temples were built by the immortals themselves, they were constructed very quickly. Some immortals even completed their temples on the same day, including impressive statues of themselves. These statues were genuine, blessed by immortal power, not mere imitations.

The speed of construction left Ke Qing with a bit of a headache. She wondered if they needed to advertise the new temples.

Takumi almost resurrected all the immortals that could be brought back, including Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun, Bronze Sparrow, and many others. The Bronze Sparrow was currently with Zhongli, while the other immortals had returned to the mountains.

For example, the temple of Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun was on Tianheng Mountain. The mountain itself was supported by its antlers. The temple, overlooking the entire Liyue Harbor, was well-placed, and no one had any objections to its location.

The other immortals each selected their own mountain, building their temples on the peaks. The view from these temples was spectacular, offering a grand sight for those who climbed high enough.

Hearing Ke Qing's question, Takumi thought for a while and then said:

"There's no need for publicity at all. It's better for people to discover these temples on their own. The impact will be much greater. If we advertise, some people might not believe it. Letting them find out for themselves is undoubtedly the best approach."

Ke Qing considered this and agreed.

"You're right. If that's the case, we don't need to worry about it. We just need to set up some incense shops to support the temples."

She signed off on the proposal without hesitation and set the document aside. Takumi didn't say anything further.

After dealing with these matters, Ke Qing asked:

"Have you taken care of everything? Are all the immortals who should be resurrected back now?"

Takumi nodded.

"Yes, it's all done. The last immortal has been resurrected. There's nothing left to do in that regard."

Ke Qing then pulled out another document.

"Since you're free, could you help with these matters?"

Takumi took the document and examined it. It was about setting up a rest stop near The Chasm.

"Shouldn't Ningguang handle this? Why bring it to us?" he asked with a puzzled expression.

Ke Qing explained:

"Ningguang sent this over. She's still debating whether to build on Liyue's side or near Sumeru. From The Chasm to Liyue Harbor, it's quite a long drive. Also, as you suggested earlier, we should consider developing places like Qingxu Pool. She's wondering if we should skip the rest stop and go straight to building Qingxu Pool."

Takumi thought for a moment.

"There's nothing to worry about. If that's the case, just repair Qingxu Pool directly. Let the construction team go in. Demolish what's necessary and keep the strong structures intact. Qingxu Pool can serve as a transit point between Sumeru and Liyue. To be honest, I'm not a fan of building a rest station in The Chasm. The wind and the sounds of monsters at night make it difficult to rest. We can skip this entirely."

He continued:

"Qingxu Pool is more like a city than a large manor. Buildings are already on the hill—it's not too big, not too small. Perfect as a transfer station and rest stop. Tell Ningguang to go ahead and develop Qingxu Pool for this purpose."

Ke Qing nodded and recorded Takumi's instructions.

"Understood. I'll inform Ningguang now. Since Qingxu Pool is being developed, should we also look into places like Lingju Pass and Dunyu Ruins?"

Takumi shook his head.

"No. Let's talk about the rest later. Qingxu Pool is manageable because it's small, but Lingju Pass and Dunyu Ruins are more complicated. We should start with Qingxu Pool. Our manpower is limited. Many roads need construction throughout Liyue's territory, and we are also preparing for the development of Dragonspine next year. We can't stretch ourselves too thin."

"Gui Li Plains isn't fully developed yet. Why rush into Lingju Pass and Dunyu Ruins? There's no immediate demand for those areas. Qingxu Pool is a priority because it serves a purpose right now."

Ke Qing agreed and sent Takumi's recommendations to Ningguang. Shortly after, Ningguang replied, saying she would come over to discuss it in person.

Takumi nodded.

"That's perfect. I'll also discuss the development plans for Yaoguang Shoal with her when she arrives."
