Li Nianfan bought two big carps from the fishmonger. Then, he walked around the Fallen Town with Daji and bought some daily necessities. Finally, he left the town and headed home.
On the way, Li Nianfan looked up at the sky and asked worriedly, "Little Daji, do you think there has been more lightning lately?"
Daji pondered for a moment and said, "There seems to be some changes. It doesn't feel peaceful anymore."
Li Nianfan looked even more worried. He could not help but recall the time when he was in the Azure Valley. The weather changed all of a sudden and there was constant thunder and lightning. It was extremely frightening.
As for Daji, she was also brought back by him because of the lightning.
It seemed that there was indeed too much lightning in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Li Nianfan asked, "Do you think the lightning will strike our yard?"
Daji looked at Li Nianfan and looked up at the sky. "I think … it's impossible."
"We can't take any chances. Mortals like us have to be careful in the Immortal Cultivation Realm."
Li Nianfan shook his head. "We live in the mountains and there are trees all around us. The possibility of us being targeted is very high. I have to go back and think of a solution."
He frowned and started to think of a solution.
Actually, the way to deal with lightning was very direct. The most effective way was to use a lightning rod.
The key was that the material used to make the lightning rod had to be galvanized.
The process was not complicated. As long as he used some common metals and smelted them, it could be made.
He still had a lighter at home. He should be able to do it. No, he had to go back and buy some metal tools.
After planning everything, Li Nianfan quickened his steps. He had to make the lightning rod as soon as possible. The sooner he finished, the sooner he could be at ease.
Linxian Palace.
Qin Manyun and the four elders were guarding outside a stone room. They looked worried.
"Crash!"
With a rumble, the door to the stone room opened. Yao Mengji slowly walked out from inside.
"Master!"
"Palace Master!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they went up to greet him.
However, when they saw Yao Mengji, they were all stunned. The smiles on their faces froze.
At this moment, Yao Mengji's face was filled with exhaustion. His hair was messy and his eyes were sunken. He looked like an old man in his twilight years. He was so weak that he couldn't even stand a gust of wind.
Qin Manyun's eyes immediately turned red. She said in a trembling voice, "Master, you …"
Yao Mengji waved his hand and said, "Say no more. I'm afraid I don't have much time left."
"This, this …" Everyone felt as if they were struck by lightning.
Zhou Dacheng frowned slightly and quickly said, "Old Man Yao, you can't speak carelessly! What the hell are you doing? How can you say something like that! "
Qin Manyun also said, "That's right. Master, haven't you already passed the Dao Heart Trial?"
"Bad luck, bad luck!"
With a bitter smile, Yao Mengji shook his head and said, "The general trend of the world has changed. When I was trying my Dao heart, I had a feeling that my divine tribulation might be more than twice as powerful as ordinary divine tribulations! Twice as powerful! How am I going to survive this? "
Everyone's pupils shrank, and their hearts jumped. "Twice as powerful? How could this be?! "
They didn't doubt it. Normal cultivators would sense when they were in danger. Since Yao Mengji suddenly sensed it during the Dao Heart Trial, there was an eighty percent chance that he was right.
"I want to ask the heavens why this is happening!" Yao Mengji's eyes were filled with despair. He cried out sadly, "I could've easily passed it, but this happened when I was going through the Heavenly Tribulation. I'm so miserable!"
Everyone opened their mouths, but they didn't know where to start.
Double the power of the Tian Die. Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle. How could they withstand it?!
"Forget it, forget it. It's fate." Yao Mengji waved his hand. He looked at Qin Manyun and said, "When I was in seclusion, how was your performance in front of the expert? You didn't make him angry, did you?"
"How could we make the expert angry? But there were too many things that happened this time …"
Immediately, Qin Manyun calmed herself down and told him everything that had happened recently, from the beginning to the end, as if she was telling a story.
Yao Mengji seemed to have become an ordinary old man. He listened to the story with a smile, nodding and shaking his head from time to time.
When Qin Manyun finished telling the story, half a day had passed.
Yao Mengji's expression changed as Qin Manyun told the story. Sometimes he smiled, sometimes he nodded in satisfaction, and sometimes he sighed softly. He was filled with emotions.
When it came to Family Liu, his face darkened. "How dare the Family Liu disrespect the expert! They should be destroyed! It's a pity that I'm in seclusion. Otherwise, I'd do it myself! "
When he heard that the Immortal had descended, he couldn't help but be shocked. "The world has changed. I'm afraid my Tian Die has something to do with it. I wonder what will happen in the future?"
When he heard that the expert had gifted a painting to Azure Valley, his eyes were filled with envy. He sighed and said, "Azure Valley really got lucky this time. Gu Changqing's face must be crooked from smiling."
Finally, he looked at Qin Manyun and praised, "Manyun, you've improved a lot. You can almost understand the expert's hints. Hahaha, you're worthy of being my disciple."
"But … there are some things that you don't understand deeply enough!"
Yao Mengji said to Qin Manyun, "Just like the expert said, if you're poor, you should take care of yourself. If you're rich, you should help the world. He's clearly giving us advice! In other words, as long as we do enough, he won't mistreat us! Just like Azure Valley. I'm afraid the expert only gave them the painting because they've done a good job guarding the entrance to the Demonic Realm! "
Qin Manyun and the others were enlightened. "Master, you're right! I've learned a lot! "
"In this world, everything goes hand in hand. Don't think that you can sit back and relax just because you're on the expert's good side. You must serve the expert well! If we're strong but still choose to take care of ourselves, we'll be abandoned by the expert! "
Yao Mengji kept giving advice to the group as if he was leaving his last words. "When I'm gone, the Linxian Palace will depend on all of you! Now that the world is changing, you should consider the bigger picture! "
The four elders' faces were filled with sorrow. They said in unison, "Don't worry, Palace Master. We'll do our best to protect the Linxian Palace!"
Qin Manyun looked at her Master, who had aged in an instant. She bit her lip and said softly, "Master, why don't we ask the expert for help? He's very capable. He must have a way. "
"No, no!"
Yao Mengji shook his head without hesitation. "The expert has helped us enough. If we do that, wouldn't we disturb the expert's cultivation? Even if the expert is willing to help us, I'm too ashamed to accept it. If the expert is unhappy, I'll be a sinner of the Linxian Palace. "
"You don't have to be sad. Cultivators like us can't control our own lives. But before I leave, I have to see the expert one last time and say goodbye!"
