Li Nianfan put down his cup and suddenly said, "Looking at the time, it's been a while since we left."
Emperor Luo understood what Li Nianfan was implying. He said, "Young Master Li, we've settled everything here. We can go back anytime."
"Oh?" Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows. "We can leave today?"
Zhou Dacheng nodded. "Young Master Li, you can."
"Young Master Li, why don't you stay for a few more days? I'll be a good host." Gu Changqing tried to persuade him to stay.
"No, thank you for your kind intentions, Valley Master Gu." Li Nianfan shook his head. "Blackie is waiting for me at home. It's been a while. I wonder how it's doing."
Gu Changqing said, "Since Young Master Li has made up his mind, I won't force you to stay."
Emperor Luo and Zhou Dacheng stood up and said, "Young Master Li, we should go pack our things."
They saw that Li Nianfan had made up his mind, so they didn't say anything else.
Gu Changqing walked out of the courtyard and went straight to Azure Valley's main hall.
Gu Ziyao and her brother were waiting in the main hall. They went up to him. "Father."
Gu Changqing said, "Ziyao, how's the thing I asked you to do?"
"Father, I've done it!" Gu Ziyao nodded. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, the expert was interested in the Divine Sobering Pearl, so I gave it to him."
Gu Changqing asked, "The expert accepted it?"
"Yes, he accepted it. He seemed to like it," Gu Ziyao said.
"Good! Well done! " Gu Changqing was overjoyed. No wonder the expert treated him so well. This was the crux of the matter. He could not help but laugh. "To be able to exchange a God Awakening Pearl for the expert's favor, this is such a good deal. Well done, Ziyao!"
Gu Ziyao smiled and took out a storage bracelet. "Father, here are these. The expert looked at them for more than five seconds."
Gu Changqing took the bracelet and frowned slightly. "Why is there so little?"
Gu Ziyao looked troubled. "The expert skims through a lot of things. Most of the time, he's just looking at the scenery."
Gu Changqing couldn't help but sigh. "Sigh, there aren't many things that can catch the eye of the expert. Young Master Li is about to leave. Hurry up and get ready. Come with me to send Young Master Li off."
Not long after, Li Nianfan and Daji had already packed their bags and walked out of the courtyard. Emperor Luo and the rest were waiting at the entrance.
The group walked to the main hall of Azure Valley. Gu Changqing brought Gu Ziyao and her brother, as well as the remaining three elders of Azure Valley. They were all waiting respectfully.
"Young Master Li." Gu Changqing took two steps forward with the storage bracelet in his hand. He said, "It's rare for you to come to Azure Valley as a guest. We can't let you leave empty-handed. This is just a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it."
Li Nianfan smiled bitterly. He could not help but say, "Valley Master Gu, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary person. What have I done to deserve this?"
Gu Changqing smiled. "It's just some antiques. They're not treasures."
Antiques? Antiques?
Li Nianfan was slightly curious. He looked at the bracelet and realized that it contained the three paintings that he saw in the side hall the last time, as well as the black statue that seemed to have been around for a long time.
The three paintings were of average quality, but the statue attracted Li Nianfan's attention. The carving was not bad, and it looked strange. It was worth collecting.
Gu Changqing was obviously a collector. Although he could have made these things better, it was rare that someone was willing to part with them. Suddenly, Li Nianfan felt a sense of appreciation between cultured people.
Li Nianfan did not decline. Instead, he said, "Valley Master Gu, you're too kind."
Gu Changqing smiled. "As long as Young Master Li likes it."
Li Nianfan pondered for a moment. Sigh, it would be too thick-skinned of him if he just walked away!
In addition to these, they also gave him a compressor!
Although he did not have any treasures on him and could not return the favor, he still had to show some appreciation.
He could not help but say, "Valley Master Gu, you're also a person who loves paintings. Why don't I draw a painting for you?"
Dead silence!
At that moment, the entire place seemed to have stopped breathing.
If one looked closely, they would realize that other than Li Nianfan, everyone else was trembling slightly. Their bodies were flushed red, and their eyes were wide open. Their entire bodies were frozen.
They were screaming in their hearts.
"What's going on? A painting?! He's making a move. The expert is making a move! "
"Lucky bastard! Azure Cloud Valley was really lucky this time! The expert is giving them a painting! "Tian Ping shouted.
"Don't scream, don't scream! Stay calm, stay calm! I can't take it anymore. I'm going to die! "
Silently, they clenched their fists together, their nails digging deep into their own flesh to ease their feelings that were about to explode.
On the surface, their expressions did not seem to have changed. However, other than their faces, every other part of their bodies was in an uproar. They had reached a climax.
Especially Gu Changqing. His head buzzed and he almost fainted.
He felt like he was floating in the clouds.
He said in a trembling voice, "Li, Young Master Li, can … can I really do it?"
"Why not? It's just a painting. I can just move my brush a little." Li Nianfan smiled casually.
Move his brush a little?
Everyone's lips twitched.
'Yeah, you can just move your brush a little and poke a hole in the sky!'
'If you're serious about it, what would happen?'
Li Nianfan asked, "Do you have a brush and paper?"
"Yes, yes!" Gu Changqing nodded. He did not even need to say anything. The entire Azure Valley was already moving at its fastest speed. In just a few moments, the most precious items in the entire Azure Valley were sent over from the treasury.
Over the long years, they had obtained many strange treasures.
Paper was nothing much. It was just that the material was better. However, this brush was obtained from an arcane realm by chance. It was quite rare, but no one had ever used it.
Li Nianfan weighed the brush in his hand and smiled, "This brush is not bad. It can be used."
Then, he narrowed his eyes. His thoughts started to wander.
'What should I draw?'
He thought of the three paintings in the Azure Valley.
They represented immortals, demons, and demons.
Immortals were also humans. Li Nianfan did not want to draw demons. Li Nianfan did not want to draw demons either. He would draw a demon.
'If I'm going to draw, I'll draw a powerful demon!'
'I just don't know if the demon I draw really exists.'
'Forget it. I don't care. Drawing is about artistic conception. Who cares if it exists or not?'
His eyes suddenly opened. He raised the brush and dropped it!
Everyone stared at it without blinking. They felt that Li Nianfan's aura had suppressed everything at this moment. The height in their eyes kept increasing, almost reaching the sky!
Buzz!
As the brush landed on the paper, a blinding light suddenly shone from Li Nianfan's body. The light was bright gold. It started as a small golden dot on the tip of the brush. Then, it kept expanding. In an instant, it covered Li Nianfan.
The huge golden light enveloped Li Nianfan like a sun.
The light was so bright that everyone could not open their eyes. They could not look at it directly.
Then, the surrounding temperature started to rise. It was as if they were in a big furnace. The golden light was still expanding.
When everyone came back to their senses, they realized that they were in a golden world. There were golden flames burning everywhere.
There was a terrifying heat rising from the flames. It was as if it could bake everything in the world. Fortunately, the heat did not attack them. Otherwise, they would have evaporated into a puff of smoke!
'This, this …'
Everyone had goosebumps all over their bodies.
'Just the artistic conception of the painting is enough to destroy the world!'
'It's too scary, too terrifying!'
Amidst the extreme shock, Li Nianfan stopped drawing. The golden light finally began to fade!
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief and looked up eagerly.
They saw a black three-legged crow in the painting. It was squatting in a halo and seemed to be looking up at everyone.
