"Thank you for your great kindness."
Only then did Chongyun stand up. Hu Tao beside him asked curiously, "Su Han, you've already taught him, can't you teach me too? If my body could glow with golden light, that'd be so fun!"
"Alright, but you have to promise not to use it for pranks."
"Ugh, that's no fun."
Hearing Su Han forbid her from pranking, Hu Tao immediately lost interest. She only wanted to learn the Golden Light Mantra to scare people, if she couldn't do that, what was the point?
Xiangling comforted her, "Hu Tao, you only ever want to play around. Brother Su Han's technique is meant to suppress evil spirits. You should study something else seriously."
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Why are you all so strict?"
Hu Tao spoke listlessly. It was obvious she was really disappointed that she couldn't learn the Golden Light Mantra for mischief.
Seeing this, Su Han smiled and said, "The Golden Light Mantra is off-limits, but I do have something fun. Do you want to learn it?"
"What is it? Is it that thunder spell that goes boom and makes people disappear?"
"…"
Everyone was speechless. What she described sounded more like a bomb!
Su Han didn't mind. "I'd love to perform a Thunder Technique too, but unfortunately I haven't received that part of the inheritance yet. However, I do have a martial art that can create clouds and mist, it should satisfy you."
"Clouds and mist? You mean the Cloud-Palm Technique? Quick, I like that one! Teach me!"
The clever Hall Master Hu immediately perked up. Out of the two comics she'd seen, the only one with clouds and mist was the Cloud-Palm Technique, stylish, graceful, and capable of creating illusions. She loved it.
Su Han smiled and passed the technique to Hu Tao. As for how far she could cultivate it, that wasn't his concern.
The banquet ended, and everyone gained something from it.
The next day.
Xingqiu arrived with a convoy, grandly pulling up to the shop. Nearby merchants looked on with envy, anyone who could trade with Boss Su these days was practically printing money.
Unfortunately, aside from this young master, there were no other distributors yet.
"You all go load the goods in the warehouse. I'll bring breakfast to Brother Su."
"Yes, Young Master."
The workers opened the carriage and began loading. Xingqiu carried a basket of buns and went straight upstairs.
Su Han, who had just washed his face, smiled when he saw what Xingqiu brought. "How did you know I haven't eaten yet?"
"It's only seven o'clock. You once said you usually eat around eight, so I figured I'd bring something over. Once I leave today, it'll be another half a month before we meet again. Brother Su, about the new Under One Person comic…"
After a few polite exchanges, Xingqiu finally couldn't hold back. He was dying to see the new comic, otherwise, how could he endure the long journey?
Su Han picked up a bun and casually tossed two comic books his way. "You really are addicted. The warehouse already has the latest volumes prepared, but since you're here, I'll give you a set as a gift."
Seeing the new comics, Xingqiu was overjoyed. After thanking him, he left quickly, he still had a trip ahead.
Meanwhile, Su Han ate his breakfast while checking the system data.
[System]: Myriad Worlds Comic System (Current Permission Level: 1. Sell 50,000 copies to advance to the next level. Current sales: 42,182 copies.)
[Comic]: Under One Person (18,672 copies sold)
[Permission]: Level 3 (Currently able to produce volumes 5–6)
[Limit]: Unlock the next content after selling 20,000 copies
[Reward]: Selling 20,000 copies unlocks the 4th draw. After 5 draws, one free treasure draw will be available. Currently 1 draw available.
[Prize Pool]: Randomly obtain cultivation methods, elixirs, artifacts, or rare treasures from the Under One Person world. Techniques of the Eight Marvels will not appear below Level 5 permissions.
[Welfare]: If the host obtains a cultivation method, points can be used to upgrade it. One comic equals one point.
"The sales of Under One Person are catching up to the first comic already."
In just four days, the number of copies sold had soared past ten thousand. Including Xingqiu's shipment, the fourth lottery draw was almost ready. With time, the system permissions were also about to upgrade, Su Han couldn't help but feel excited, wondering what new rewards might appear.
After finishing his meal, he stretched and prepared for the lottery. The familiar prize wheel spun rapidly. As the speed slowed, the reward appeared.
[Ding! Congratulations, you obtained a special treasure from the Under One Person prize pool: Godhood Mask.]
"Huh? Wait... what the… It's actually the Godhood Mask! Isn't that Xia Liuqing's item?"
Su Han's face showed surprise as he examined the treasure.
This thing was interesting, if he remembered correctly, it could steal the power of faith from others.
[Name]: Godhood Mask
[Grade]: Entry
[Effect]: Steals the power of faith from mortals who worship powerful beings, seals it, and channels it to become an embodiment of divine faith.
[Note]: The more convincingly you act as a god, the stronger the effect. If you truly believe you are a god, the power increases further, act as a god, become a god.
[Warning]: This method is highly dangerous. If the original being of faith still exists, borrowing their power will inevitably draw their attention.
After reading the description, Su Han had an idea, steal the power of the Seven Archons' statues!
Given his understanding of the five Archons, impersonating them wouldn't be hard.
But then he looked at the last line of the description and his excitement faded completely.
"Right… In Under One Person, Xia Liuqing borrowed power from fictional beings. If I tried to borrow Zhongli's power, how could he not notice?"
Smacking his lips, Su Han suddenly found the treasure a bit useless.
After all, aside from the Seven Archons, few beings in Teyvat were worshiped or venerated. Without faith, the Godhood Mask was meaningless.
The more he thought about it, the more disappointing it seemed.
"Forget it, I'll just store it away. Maybe it'll be useful someday."
Su Han shook his head in disinterest and tossed the mask into his system storage.
Meanwhile…
Throughout the streets and alleys of Liyue.
The release of Under One Person Volumes 5–6 had fans chatting in groups again. Discussing the storylines had become a daily routine. Whenever a new volume dropped, endless topics followed.
A man who managed to grab a new copy grinned proudly. "See? The rumors were true! The more we buy, the faster new comics come out!"
A man next to him sneered. "That's nothing. I heard Boss Su's shop is running a sale — buy five sets, get one free. I bought ten sets myself; he's probably losing money by now!"
"So awesome? Then I'll go buy five sets too! Let's bankrupt him!"
As soon as they heard "buy five, get one free," the others got tempted too.
In the middle of the chatter, a panting youth came running. "Uncle Dong, Uncle Dong, big news! Yesterday while I was herding cows, I saw someone glowing with golden light in the wild, the legendary immortal fate is real!"
Just that one sentence left everyone stunned.
Glowing with golden light?
Wasn't that the Golden Light Mantra!!!
