Gasp—
The others gasped in shock. They felt their skin crawl.
It was reattached successfully!
No powers or elixirs were used at all. He did it the ordinary way!
What kind of skill was what? It was never heard of before!
The expert was truly an expert. No wonder he loved living as an ordinary man. He wanted to prove that even as an ordinary man, he could still achieve what cultivators could not!
How powerful. They felt ashamed of themselves after witnessing his power move.
They suddenly felt inferior, like they did not deserve to live anymore.
However, they instantly felt a new sense of pride afterward. An expert like Li Nianfan had chosen them as his chess pieces. It was an honor. They were proud of it!
Lin Mufeng teared up. He wanted to kneel in front of Li Nianfan and pledge his undying loyalty. However, he remembered the expert hated that, so he withheld from doing so.
Stay calm and carry on. There were a lot of things that did not need to be said out loud. The most important thing was to fulfill the duties as a chess piece, honor the biddings of the expert, and learn from him.
He took a deep breath and bowed to Li Nianfan, “I, humble Lin, thank you for what you’ve done for me today, Mr. Li.”
Li Nianfan waved and smiled casually. “Brother Lin, how courteous of you. It’s not a big deal.”
What a bigshot.
He defied the laws of nature and still claimed that it was not a big deal.
Nobody would believe it.
The Holy Emperor and Qin Manyun looked at each other, then said, “Mr. Li, remember when you asked about upcoming big events? I remembered that there will be one coming soon. It’s called the Azure Demon Lockdown Grand Ceremony and it’s happening nearby.”
“Oh?” Li Nianfan looked at him, intrigued.
The Holy Emperor jolted. He said, “This ceremony is held at Azure Ville and it only occurs once every five years. It’s one of the biggest events in the cultivation realm.”
Li Nianfan frowned. “It’s a cultivator event. I’m just an ordinary man, so it’d be inappropriate for me to attend.”
Lin Mufeng and the others were distressed, but they did not show it.
“No, it is!”
Lin Mufeng introduced, “Every five years, Azure Ville would strengthen the barrier of the Demon Realm’s opening. It’s one of the biggest events in the cultivation realm. Not just cultivators can participate. It’s also open to ordinary folks, too. Anyone can watch.”
The Demon Lockdown Ceremony was open to the public. Azure Ville did that to showcase their skills and attract new talents to join them.
It was one of the reasons why Azure Ville was one of the best forces in the Immortal Realm.
“If that’s the case, I don’t mind checking it out.” Li Nianfan was persuaded. Then, he frowned and asked, “Where’s Azure Ville? Is it far?”
He wanted to go. It would be a waste not to attend such a grand event since he was already in the Immortal Realm. Also, from that introduction, he might be able to watch cultivators perform or battle. Truth be told, he did not have the chance to witness a fight among cultivators yet.
He wondered if it was just like what he saw from TV shows.
However, he would not go if it was too far. That would be too dangerous.
The Holy Emperor instantly replied, “Mr. Li, the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty will be participating in the Azure Demon Lockdown Grand Ceremony. You can come with us.”
“Mr. Li, I’m participating, too,” smiled Qin Manyun. “Tag along.”
Lin Mufeng opened his mouth but no words came out.
He wanted to impress the expert and join the ceremony, too, but it was inappropriate because he had just reattached his arm.
Sign, what a missed opportunity!
“Go together? Awesome!” Li Nianfan was thrilled. He would be safely guarded if that was the case!
Li Nianfan looked at Daji and asked, “Daji, what do you think? Maybe we should go check it out? How about a little road trip?”
Daji laughed and said softly, “Sure.”
“Alright!” Li Nianfan laughed and saluted the Holy Emperor and Qin Manyun. “I’ll be troubling you both then.”
The Holy Emperor panicked. He quickly replied, “It’s no trouble at all. No big deal.”
Then, they said their goodbyes and left the four-part architecture.
They were all slightly disoriented.
The Holy Emperor and Qin Manyun were nervous and excited. They were about to go on a trip with the expert. It would be like tagging along with the king.
Lin Mufeng was excited because the expert fixed his arm.
He looked like he went through a lot. He sighed, “I, Lin Mufeng, am a useless nobody that couldn’t master any skill. I don’t know what I did to deserve special treatment from the expert, but I feel blessed!”
The Holy Emperor said respectfully, “The expert truly is an expert. That was miraculous. In his point of view, there’s no difference between being ordinary and being Godlike. He thinks stone can turn into pure gold, and that the ordinary way is superior. This mysterious and unique point of view has shown me a whole new world.”
Qin Manyun asked curiously, “Master Lin, how’s your injury?”
“Feels much better.” Lin Mufeng looked at his arm. He frowned for a while before he said, “I think… I can move.”
Trembling, he raised his middle finger.
It moved!
Even Lin Mufeng himself was shocked.
It went straight to his head. He was dumbfounded.
A while ago, his severed arm was completely detached. Did it truly reconnect after just a short while?
Who would have thought?
The Holy Emperor gasped and mumbled, “Incredible! Really incredible!”
Lin Mufeng laughed. “My arm was personally fixed by the expert. This is the biggest pride of my life! I’ve decided. From now on, my favorite body part is this arm, for sure!”
“I agree.” The Holy Emperor nodded but he was staring at the wound. “Brother Lin, let’s make a deal. How about you give me those two wooden sticks on your arm?”
“Ugh! How could you ask me that?”
Lin Mufeng instantly protected his arm. “Do you think I’m foolish? These two wooden sticks are made from Spirit wood, okay?!”
The two Spirit sticks were well-preserved. They were only firewood to the expert, but they were rare and priceless treasures!
The Holy Emperor hurriedly said, “Exchange. Let’s make an exchange, okay? Come on, don’t be stingy. You’ve got two whole Spirit sticks out of nowhere! Lucky you.”
