'I'm dumbfounded!'
'I knew that the food that Sir ate was extraordinary. How could it be as simple as delicious?'
'It must have some other effect!'
'However, it came without any warning!'
'We're just mortals. How can we take it?'
'Whether it's the Fire Sparrow's egg or the Golden Bee's honey, they all have the effect of cleansing the marrow and shedding the mortal body. To put it simply, it detoxifies and rebuilds the body.'
'This effect is not too heaven-defying for immortal cultivators. Immortal cultivators have very little impurities in their bodies to begin with, so they don't need to detoxify them. However, for mortals, it's very useful!'
'Detoxification alone can restore the skin to the state of a baby, and the body to its peak. It'll definitely prolong one's life. If one can cultivate, their future path will be much smoother.'
However, this effect was like a death sentence to Zhou Yunwu and the rest.
"Ugh!"
Zhou Yunwu snorted softly. He felt a stream of air suddenly sinking in his stomach and rushing towards his anus, directly attacking the root of the problem.
'Damn it!'
He hurriedly took a deep breath and abruptly retracted his hand, forcibly pushing it back.
'In front of the expert, I can't even fart. If I can't hold it in, won't I be accused of blasphemy?' 'I'll be done for!'
'Perhaps this meal is the expert's test for us.'
'Although it's delicious, there's a hidden mystery. It's a test of our willpower and endurance!'
'As expected of the expert. He does things according to his heart and beyond our expectations.'
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunwu's heart sank. 'I'll have to hold it in!'
He couldn't help but look at Huo Da. His eyes hinted at him to be strong.
Huo Da replied with difficulty. In such a short time, beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead. He wished he could cross his legs and stand up straight.
'Oh no, I'm reaching my limit!'
Li Nianfan could clearly feel their bodies stiffening and trembling. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong?"
"No … nothing."
Zhou Yunwu forced a smile and said with great determination, "Sir, I suddenly feel unwell. I'm afraid I can't stay here any longer. I'll take my leave now."
Li Nianfan said, "If that's the case, then I won't see you off."
These words were like music to the ears of Zhou Yunwu and the other two.
They all let out a long sigh of relief. As long as they endured a little longer, they would be free.
Just as the three of them carefully approached the door and were about to leave, they heard Li Nianfan suddenly say, "Wait a moment."
"Hiss …"
The bodies of the three people stiffened at the same time, and cold sweat began to flow down.
He looked at Li Nianfan in despair.
It's over, it's over!
Li Nianfan turned around and entered a room in the courtyard house.
"That room …"
Daji and the Fire Phoenix looked at each other. They were curious about what was inside.
As soon as the door was pushed open, they could clearly feel an extremely terrifying power condensing in the room. They couldn't tell what it was, but … the thing inside was definitely more abnormal than the one in the backyard!
In Li Nianfan's words, it was just some junk. However, how could the junk of the expert be simple?
Although they were curious, they saw that the door of the room was closed. Moreover, Li Nianfan rarely went in, so they didn't dare to enter.
"Ping Ping Pang Pang."
There were obviously many things in the room, and the sound of rummaging could be heard.
This made Zhou Yunwu and the other two suffer. Their bodies were gradually bent over, and their faces were green. They felt that their butts were no longer their own.
Fortunately, Li Nianfan didn't let them wait for long. Soon, he came out with a book.
Li Nianfan casually handed the book over. "Sorry, it's a bit messy inside. This is a book about the art of war. I hope it'll be useful to you."
The book was a little old, and the cover was wrinkled and covered in dust. Some of the pages seemed to be stained with grease from eating.
"This, this is …"
Zhou Yunwu respectfully took the book from Li Nianfan with both hands. His pupils constricted as he saw the words "Six Secret Techniques" written on the cover.
Li Nianfan explained, "This is a book on the art of war. It's also called" Taigong's Six Secret Techniques ". There are 237 chapters in total. There are 81 chapters in 'Strategy', 71 chapters in 'Speech', and 85 chapters in 'War'."
The so-called "Taigong" referred to Jiang Taigong. This book gathered the essence of military thinking. With this book, one could benefit a lot in war.
Zhou Yunwu's voice was trembling. He even forgot about the discomfort on his butts. He said respectfully, "Thank, thank you, sir."
Although he didn't know the specific content, this book was so simple, and it was given by the master. It must be extraordinary. He had a feeling that the value of this book was definitely not lower than the medical and hybridization theories taught by the master!
Herbs, farming, forging, the art of war, and the way to govern a country.
The master was indeed omnipotent. He purposely showed himself to preach to the human race!
My Xia Dynasty doesn't believe in demons or immortals, but … I'm willing to call the master a saint!
Zhou Yunwu said in his heart. Then, he bowed respectfully to Li Nianfan!
Huo Da and Meng Junliang did the same. 29GG
"Brother Zhou, there's no need for that. It's just a book." Li Nianfan waved his hand. "I won't send you off. Take care."
Li Nianfan's words reminded the three of them. Their bodies trembled again. They hurriedly said, "Goodbye!"
Zhou Yunwu and the other two hurriedly walked out of the four-part architecture. Their faces were pale, and their footsteps were a little crooked.
After walking for about a hundred meters, Huo Da said hoarsely, "It's far enough. It's about time. I can't hold it in anymore! I can't take it anymore. It's coming! "
"Pfft —"
With him taking the lead, the sound of "pfft pfft" continued.
It was like the sound of gongs and drums. It was continuous. In between, there were also moans of pleasure. They walked further and further away.
In the four-part architecture.
Huo Feng and Daji were stunned when they saw the book.
Although the book was old and tattered, it was covered with a thick layer of golden light. It was definitely fate!
That book … was comparable to a treasure of fate!
If that was the case, the fate of the Xia Dynasty would skyrocket again.
Was this treasure the 'junk' that the expert mentioned?
What kind of heaven-defying things were stored in that storeroom?!
It was not their first time seeing a treasure of fate. That lantern was one, and it was casually made by the expert. However, it was still a treasure of fate. How could he give it away just like that? Even in ancient times, it was a treasure that could only be found by chance.
They followed Long 'er to the backyard without batting an eyelid.
They walked all the way to the center of the pond.
Huo Feng said calmly, "Old Long, I know you're in there. Come out."
The pond was extremely calm. There were no ripples.
Huo Feng continued, "Stop pretending. Long 'er has already told me. Don't force us to go down."
After a while, the pond started to move. After a series of ripples, the water rose. A golden dragon's head sneakily poked out. It looked at Long 'er with resentment.
Long 'er covered his face with his hands. He did not dare to face it.
"Fine. Since we're all riding on the expert's coattails, we're on the same side." The golden dragon said slowly. Then, he emphasized, "Remember, don't tell anyone about me."
Huo Feng and Daji nodded at the same time. "We're not that bored."
Long 'er promised, "Don't worry, ancestor. I'll keep it a secret."
The golden dragon said, "Why are you looking for me?"
Daji asked curiously, "You've been with Master the longest. Do you know what's in his storeroom?"
"I don't know." The golden dragon said innocently, "I'm fine with staying low. I don't pay attention to other things. It has nothing to do with me."
"But …" The golden dragon thought for a moment and said with lingering fear, "The expert's fishing rod is definitely very powerful. When I was fishing here, I shuddered when I saw the hook. Luckily, he only wanted to fish. If the expert wanted to fish for dragons, I might have been hooked."
Daji said, "Master just took out a treasure of fate from the storeroom and gave it to the current emperor."
"Treasure of fate?" The golden dragon's eyes widened. His heavy breathing blew away the water. "Are you sure?"
Huo Feng added, "It is indeed a treasure of fate."
"This, this …"
The golden dragon was unable to say anything. Tears were already flowing from his eyes. He said emotionally, "That's a treasure of fortune. If my dragon clan had a treasure of fortune back then, would we have ended up like this?"
Long'er did not expect his ancestor to cry. He could not help but ask, "What's a treasure of fate?"
Daji frowned slightly and said, "I'm not too sure. But I can feel that it's very, very important."
"A treasure of fate can suppress fate! That alone is enough to make anyone scramble for it! "
The golden dragon took a deep breath and continued, "Fate is like a talisman given by the heavens. As long as we have this talisman, our race or country will prosper forever! In ancient times, the reason why our race declined was because we didn't have a treasure to suppress our fate. Our fate was lost. "
Huo Feng asked, "Fate still needs to be suppressed?"
A long, long time ago, we dragons and phoenixes were the main characters, and our fate was monstrous. If we could have a treasure of fate to suppress it, when the great calamity came, even if we couldn't become the new main character, we could at least continue to prosper. However, without a treasure of fate, our fate would naturally be lost in the great calamity. It would be easy to be schemed against and become cannon fodder. "
The golden dragon said, "This is related to the general trend of the heavens, which is the so-called general trend. If you have fate, you'll be like the sun in the sky. Unless you're crazy, who would go against a person who's like the sun in the sky?"
Daji could not help but ask, "With a treasure of fate, isn't it equivalent to being invincible?"
"You can't say that. It's just that you won't become cannon fodder. If you're targeted, you'll still be finished."
The golden dragon shook its head. "Let me tell you, this world is very, very terrifying. There are hidden big shots. They're playing games with each other and scheming against each other. There are countless chess pieces, and it's impossible to guard against them. You might not even know that you've become cannon fodder."
As it spoke, its head had already sunk into the pool, looking very cowardly. "Take the Human Emperor for example. His country's fate is prosperous, and no one dares to provoke him. However, if someone uses a honey trap on him and makes him a fatuous tyrant, causing endless slaughter and causing the entire human race to be dissatisfied, the dynasty's fate will naturally be affected. When his fate drops to a freezing point, it'll be easy for other dynasties to destroy him."
Huo Feng could not help but ask, "What happened in ancient times?"
"I can't say! Once I talk about it, it's very likely that the big shots will notice. "
The golden dragon's voice was very soft. As it spoke, it had already dived into the pool. "In short, it's too scary. It's safest to stay low. Don't expose me."
Daji hurriedly shouted, "Don't stay low for now. There's another question!"
The golden dragon did not look back.
Daji added, "It's about Master!"
The golden dragon swung its tail and immediately turned back. "What's the question?"
Daji said, "Master said he wants to drink milk. Do you know what kind of cow is red and black and has milk?"
"Red and black and has milk …"
The golden dragon pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I think I know what the expert is referring to."
