Chapter 37: This Is Such A Lovely Immortal Realm
In the forest, the Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu witnessed the scene that had unfolded in front of their eyes, completely transfixed. Their eyes were wide as saucers. Their world view almost collapsed in shock.
“He… He… He…” Luo Shiyu stuttered with her trembling lips.
What just happened? With a point of a finger, the two Monster Kings returned to their basic forms?
What kind of power was that? When did such a powerful cultivating force appear in the cultivating realm?
The only thing they were certain of was that he was not a cultivator!
“Don’t speak. This scholar must’ve been the one who claims himself as the student of Mr. Li,” the Holy Emperor said in a deep voice, his expression unprecedentedly solemn.
He was as shocked as Luo Shiyu. The scene they just witnessed was too terrifying. He could never unsee that for the rest of his life.
‘When did this Realm become so dangerous? Do all bigshots like to conceal themselves as ordinary men now? I must be more polite when I see ordinary men in the future,’ the Holy Emperor thought to himself.
Cluck, cluck, cluck.
Meng Junliang walked barefoot on the grass. Luo Shiyu and Luo Emperor stood transfixed, watching the scholar getting closer to them.
“You must be the guests of Mr. Li?” Meng Junliang stopped in front of them and asked.
Sweat started appearing on the Holy Emperor’s forehead. He pretended to be calm while his heartbeat quickened to its extreme.
His existence was too terrifying.
He forced a friendly smile. “Ye-s.”
“You’re so lucky to be the guests of Mr. Li. This is probably a blessing that could only be cultivated in a few lifetimes,” Meng Junliang said, emotional. “You must cherish this.”
Li Nianfan never invited him to enter his house. It was apparent that his ability disappointed Mr. Li.
Luo Shiyu said humbly, “Mr. Li is an otherworldly expert. It’s our pleasure to be able to serve him and be near him. We’ll cherish this.”
Meng Junliang nodded and walked away from them.
Luo Shiyu bit her lip and finally could not help asking, “Hey, do you…do you mind lending me the ‘Journey to The West’?”
Meng Junliang halted his step. He smiled, “Now’s not the time yet. I’ve decided to imitate the ‘Journey to The West’, with here as my starting point and walking toward the West in hopes of understanding nature while spreading the teachings of the ‘Journey to The West.'”
Luo Shiyu’s fear toward this scholar dissipated a little. She asked curiously, “Could you tell me why you aren’t wearing any shoes?”
“That’s because I want to feel nature,” Meng Junliang said calmly with his deep eyes. “Only when my feet are touching the ground can I blend in better with nature.” With that, he walked away gradually.
Watching the leaving silhouette of the scholar, the Holy Emperor could not help exclaiming, “Perhaps, he’s not cultivating toward immortality, but cultivating toward… Dao.”
“Dao?” Luo Shiyu asked, perplexed.
The Holy Emperor nodded and spoke in awe, “Regardless if it was Mr. Li or this scholar, they obviously had shocking cultivations, yet they did everything the ordinary way, following the nature of ordinary men. This is the true realm of being an immortal.”
Cultivators could fly in the sky, control the clouds and mist, fetch things in the air, control wind and fire, and so forth, providing immeasurable convenience for oneself. However, Mr. Li and the scholar did not do so. Instead, they took one step at a time, doing things and living with a completely down-to-earth attitude. Perhaps this was how they became bigshots.
The Holy Emperor took a deep breath and said earnestly, “Let’s go and visit Mr. Li.”
Click.
Without waiting for them to knock, the door opened automatically.
Li Nianfan looked out suspiciously, “I heard some noise from the outside. What happened?”
“Maybe it was the noise made by these two animals,” Luo Shiyu pointed at the cow and wolf.
Li Nianfan seemed delighted. He smiled, “You’re too polite! You came to visit me and even brought me some wild animals! Please, come in!”
Luo Shiyu and the Holy Emperor exchanged an awkward look without speaking further.
“Oh, right. Did you see the scholar sitting outside?” Li Nianfan asked.
Luo Shiyu answered, “Yeah, we saw him before he left.”
“Finally.” Li Nianfan let out a sigh of relief. He said with annoyance, “There’s something wrong with that kid’s brain. I’ve explained to him the Insights of Longevity so many times, but he didn’t just misunderstand it, he took it in a completely wrong way! With that level of intelligence, I hope he won’t be bothering me in the future.”
The speaker might not have meant it, but the listeners learned it.
The Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu went blank, stunned and shocked looks appearing on their faces. Many thoughts overwhelmed their brains.
‘So, the scholar’s cultivating the Insights of Longevity!’
‘It’s the Insight of Longevity! Argh! I’m so jealous and envious of the scholar!’
‘Mr. Li said the scholar misunderstood it completely?’
‘More importantly, the scholar has already become so powerful even though he hasn’t grasped the true teaching?’
‘So, how powerful would the true Insights of Longevity be?’
‘Mr. Li seems to be so disappointed at the scholar that he didn’t even let him enter his house!’
In an instance, one too many thoughts and questions appeared in the brains of the Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu. They were feeling confused and lost. If even the intelligent scholar failed to grasp his teaching of the Insights of Longevity, then perhaps nobody in the world would be able to impress Mr. Li.
Terrifying. Incredibly terrifying.
He was the real bigshot.
The Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu did not dare to take one more breath. All they wanted to do was to hide in the corner and become trash quietly.
As the Holy Emperor of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty, he thought he needed to change the topic or else he would feel too embarrassed of himself. Weakly, he took out a jade bracelet and said, “Mr. Li, here are the elixirs we’ve prepared for you.”
Li Nianfan accepted the jade bracelet with delight on his face.
Was this the space storage of the Immortal Realm? It looked fancy! It felt moist to the touch and it appeared to be a fancy accessory.
He had experience entering the System Space so this was not foreign to him. With that, his will gently entered the jade bracelet.
The space inside the jade bracelet was surprisingly big, with all types of glowing elixirs filling the space with radiance.
With a flick of his thoughts, all the elixirs and Spiritual Herbs flew out from the jade bracelet, piling up in front of Li Nianfan. There were almost a hundred types of them. The inner court was instantly overwhelmed with the fragrance of the herbs, making one feel more alive. No matter if it were the flowers or the glowing herbs, none of them were ordinary.
Li Nianfan was delighted and touched. With the help of these elixirs, Daji would be able to recover much sooner. Furthermore, these herbs could all be planted in his inner court, making up for the bonsai he had wanted for a while also improving the compelling style here.
So generous!
He could not believe that the cultivators were not only friendly but also so kind-hearted and selfless! This was indeed a very lovely realm
Meanwhile, Daji walked out of the room. At first, she saw the lifeless cow and wolf laying on the ground.
Were these hunted wild animals? Why did they seem rather familiar?
Following that, she saw that the entire inner court was filled with elixirs and spiritual herbs. Her small lips parted. She was stunned.
Did the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty bring over all of their most precious elixirs?
Of course, she knew all of these elixirs. Any one of them could easily become the most sought-after treasure by any cultivator. If she could have obtained any of these when she was still a fox, it would have been the greatest opportunity. In other words, any one of these elixirs would be able to change the entire life of a human or a monster!
