Chapter 299: The Expert’s Sense of Ritual
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A feast?
Besides Immortal Linzhu, everyone’s eyes sparkled in unison with so much anticipation.
If the expert called it a feast, it would be nothing less than a feast!
“Oh, Mr. Li,” Immortal Linzhu hesitated for a moment. She took out a pair of scissors and a handkerchief and placed them on the table. “Here’s a little something, hope you don’t mind.”
To be honest, Immortal Linzhu did not want to give away these two items.
They were both Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. Although they were not the most refined ones, any Heavenly Spiritual Treasure was considered top graded treasures. What did Heavenly Spiritual Treasures stand for? They were the most powerful treasures!
Most importantly, Heavenly Spiritual Treasures had Luck in them. They could block danger, while the Laws in them were so rich, they could even enlighten an individual.
Back in the ancient times, Heavenly Spiritual Treasures were very rare, let alone now.
Back then, Immortal Xuanyuan used this very handkerchief to block countless attacks, gaining him the reputation of being undefeatable!
If it was not for Ziye who had the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure Hairpin which was just as powerful, they would not have been able to defeat Immortal Xuanyuan!
Immortal Linzhu had one Heavenly Spiritual Treasure of her own. It was a single leaf that she was born with. Now, she had to give away two Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, how suffocating!
However, she remembered what Ziye said to her, so she remained calm.
Sigh, so difficult!
Of course, Li Nianfan had no idea how hard it was for Immortal Linzhu. He smiled and shook his head, “Look at you! Just come alone, why bother bringing a meeting gift? You’re too kind!”
They came here for free food and also brought him gifts, how polite!
He looked at the two items.
The scissors were delicate, shorter than the length of a palm. It had a gold finish, reflecting light under the shining sun. The blades were sharp and long. It looked good and sharp.
Was it made from gold?
Perhaps giving gold as a gift was something normal for an Immortal.
Li Nianfan simply picked up a piece of wood from the ground and used the scissors to cut it. Effortlessly, the wood was cut into two smooth ends without any trouble.
“Good pair of scissors!” Li Nianfan’s eyes sparkled. “I happen to need a pair of scissors, thank you!”
He then looked at the handkerchief.
It was as small as one’s face and in an azure sky blue color. It was cool and gentle to the touch. It was also somewhat elastic and comfortable.
Good item!
This handkerchief would have been one of the finest luxury items back in his previous realm.
Without hesitation, Li Nianfan handed the handkerchief to Daji. “Daji, this handkerchief suits you best! Toss away the one you have, they’re so different!”
Whenever he was carving, Daji would use her handkerchief to wipe off his sweat from time to time. The handkerchief she had was made of rough material. It was nowhere close to this!
Ever since he met the Immortals, his living conditions had been improving. His ordinary four-part architecture had become so luxurious. Ha-ha!
Linzhu felt as if she was going insane!
Scissors?
Handkerchief?
This…did he have any misconception of Heavenly Spiritual Treasures?
Did he have any idea what he was wrongly accusing?
“Thank you, Mr. Li.”
However, Daji smiled sweetly as she accepted the handkerchief with delight. She rolled it around in her hands as she gently wiped off the remaining sweat on Li Nianfan’s forehead.
“The material of this handkerchief’s so nice! It’s cool to the touch and so absorbent. Not bad!” Li Nianfan praised. He smiled at Immortal Linzhu and said, “Immortal Linzhu’s so considerate.”
Immortal Linzhu had to bite her tongue to avoid crying out loud. She said in a low voice, “Glad you like it.”
Her heart was dripping blood.
Considerate?!
So absorbent? How could a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure not be absorbent? It was not only absorbent, but it could also produce water!
‘Waa…give it to me if you don’t want it!’
She could not help looking at Ziye and the rest. However, all she saw was that they looked normal as if this was something ordinary and they were not affected in any way.
How could she not realize in the past that these people were such good actors? When did they get their training?
“The feast we’re having today needs to have a sense of ritual. Everyone, please, sit for a while. I’ll go and prepare.” Li Nianfan was in a good mood. He smiled and said to Xiao Bai, “Xiao Bai, hurry up and prepare the steak. Remember, you must pick the meat from the spine and loin. Those are the most tender and delicious parts.”
Xiao Bai answered right away, “Don’t worry, Xiao Bai’s a professional chef.”
With that, Li Nianfan walked into the utility room. The familiar sounds of clashing and knocking came from the room.
Immortal Linzhu asked in a low voice, “Sister Ziye, the Heavenly Spiritual Treasures we gave away have become a pair of scissors and handkerchief. Are you not going to say anything?”
“What’s there to say?” Ziye halted slightly. She said, “This is their honor. Didn’t you see? The handkerchief had the opportunity to touch the expert’s sweat. What an opportunity!”
“Ha-ha.” Immortal Linzhu looked at Ziye as if this was the first time she met this woman. She felt her heart collapsing.
Xiao Chengfeng said in a low voice, “Immortal Linzhu, look there. Right, that wine jar. That’s an Intermediate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, the Xuanyuan Sea Spell Cauldron. It’s being used to keep the wine. Can you see?”
Urchin smiled and added on, “I can only say that you haven’t seen the world. Once you get to the backyard of the expert, you’ll know what cloud nine means. Just get used to it.”
Immortal Linzhu made it clear that she had no comment.
She mumbled to herself, “I don’t even know if the feast is worth what I gave away.”
By the side, Xiao Bai had picked up the knife professionally. It effortlessly cut out all of the meat from the bull. One had to admit that the meat of this bull was really good. It was definitely a fat bull that liked to work out.
Following that, Xiao Bai took out a metal rack and placed the meat on top of it to burn to prepare the steak.
Its movement was fluent and professional.
Li Nianfan walked out of the utility room. He had two boxes in his hands.
These two boxes looked worn out with dust all over. The outer layers were wrinkled. It was apparent that they had been stored at the bottom.
Everyone’s heart sank. They all looked at these two boxes, feeling somehow threatened.
They were threatened in horror as if these two boxes contained something horrifying.
Daji asked, “Mr. Li, what are these?”
“Cutleries!” Li Nianfan smiled. “For this feast, we have to have a sense of ritual.”
With that said, he used a knife to gently cut through the top of the box, creating an opening.
Following that, he gradually uncovered the box.
The crowd could not help staring with their eyes widened. They stared inside the box, holding their breaths.
As the box was opened, although there was no glow coming out, they all felt a chilling shock attacking their bodies. They had the urge to turn and run away.
It was as if what laid inside the box were the deadliest weapons.
Breathe…
They all took a deep breath at the same time, forcing themselves to calm down. They looked closer.
With one look, they all felt as if they were being struck by lightning. Their eyes rolled back and they almost fainted.
Heavenly Spiritual Treasures!
A box full of Heavenly Spiritual Treasures!
These were not ordinary Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, these were Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures!
What concept was that? The crowd felt their minds go blank. They were unable to process it.
Ding-ding!
Li Nianfan reached inside the box and took out a bunch of shiny forks and knives to put on the table.
He spoke, “They aren’t that useful. I can only use them like this. Since we’re having steak today, let’s have a sense of ritual.”
Not so useful?
The crowd stared at the forks and knives being tossed onto the table. In unison, they all held their chests as their breathing became rapid.
‘No way, I might become the first Immortal in history to die from shock.’
Immortal Linzhu’s mouth was gaping. Her jaw almost fell to the floor.
She was still heartbroken about Li Nianfan not taking her two Heavenly Spiritual Treasures seriously. In the blink of an eye, he took out a box of Heavenly Spiritual Treasures and merely intended to use them as the cutleries.
This feeling was so humiliating. She suddenly felt extremely insignificant.
This was similar to visiting someone and gifting them with the most expensive silver bracelet, only to realize that this person’s house was filled with gold. Even the toilet paper was made of gold!
So shocking! So unbelievable!
They had never seen so many Heavenly Spiritual Treasures in their entire lives.
Scratch!
Li Nianfan did not mind them. He opened the other box.
Similarly, there was no glow coming out of the box. However, when sunlight shone inside, the reflecting light was so bright that they were unable to open their eyes.
Another box of Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures!
The crowd had been so stimulated that they had gone numb. They even thought they were dreaming.
Inside this box were weirdly shaped glasses. Between the cup and the bottom, there was a long and slender glass holder.
“So…this is Mr. Li’s so-called sense of ritual.”
Ziye’s face muscles had stiffened. When she spoke, she was even twitching.
The so-called sense of ritual meant by the expert was to dine with Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures.
So, the expert had already been keeping a low profile normally.
Even Ye Liuyun, the Immortal who was the best at showing off and seeking attention, felt so out of the league in that moment. He felt attacked. “I feel that the expert might have some misconception on the term ‘sense of ritual’!”
Apart from the fact that these were all Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, the key was that all of them looked exactly the same. How did he do that? Was he a supplier of Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures? How would Heaven allow such cool things to exist?
Meanwhile, Xiao Bai’s voice was heard, “Master, the steak’s cooked medium-well. They’re ready.”
“Good timing, let’s hurry.” Li Nianfan put the cutleries in place as he called out, “Everyone, don’t just stand there. Hurry up and come over. Let’s get ready.”
“Co…coming!” Ziye’s voice was slightly trembling.
The crowd gradually sat down with their trembling bodies. They were extremely rigid as they looked at the forks and knives along with the long-legged glass. They were almost too scared to reach out to touch them.
Just the knife alone. To be stated blankly, if Immortal Xuanyuan was still alive and even if he hid in the handkerchief, this knife would have killed him in one go.
