"This, this is …"
Not only the Jade Emperor, but everyone else also looked at the painting. Instantly, their gazes froze and their hearts began to beat rapidly.
In the picture, it was obvious that there was a huge sea area. The sea water was not turbulent. Instead, it was extremely calm and peaceful. It was as clear as a mirror. There was nothing else in the sea. There was only a huge figure in the middle of the sea.
The figure was like a whale. Its body was too big, and its wide fins were spread out on both sides like wings. Although only its head was sticking out of the sea, just the front half of its body was already unimaginably huge. It was as if it could swallow the entire world with just one mouth.
"Moo —"
Vaguely, a cry reached everyone's ears.
A terrifying aura was emitted from the figure, and it was accompanied by a pressure that was like seawater. It slapped on everyone's body, and this feeling … was like a gale blowing on Buddha, and it was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
This wasn't the entire painting. Above the sea, there was also a huge bird!
This bird was also huge. Even with the sea as the background, it only served to accentuate its size. Its wings were spread out high, covering the sky and the sun. With the sea as its neighbor, its wings were like the clouds in the sky.
The huge fish in the sea and the roc in the sky. The sea between them was like a mirror. The fish's reflection was the bird's reflection, and the bird's reflection was the fish's reflection.
It wasn't like.
Everyone looked at the painting. They could feel that the aura of the bird and the fish were the same. It was obvious that the expert had painted them as the same creature. Moreover … as they stared at the painting for a long time, the seawater in the painting seemed to have started to move, creating ripples.
The big fish in the sea flapped its fins and leaped out of the painting. Its huge body was incomparably dazzling, and it glided over everyone's heads like a mountain. The waves formed a string of arched bridges, and it was truly a spectacular sight.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "What do you all think of this painting?"
As soon as he said that, all the strange phenomena disappeared. Everyone quivered and came back to their senses.
"It's too beautiful, too magnificent." The Jade Emperor exclaimed without hesitation. Then, he licked his lips and said, "The Sage is painting a Kun … Kun Peng?"
"Your Majesty's eyes are indeed sharp! That's what I mean. I'll just draw it casually, but I don't know if it's similar. " Li Nianfan laughed heartily. "It was just a sudden impulse, and my hands itched to draw it. I haven't practiced for a long time, and my drawing skills have deteriorated. Please don't laugh at me."
Actually, he didn't start drawing this painting today. He had started three days ago. Because he had nothing to do in the siheyuan, he thought of Huo Feng and thought that if he wanted to unify the Demon Race, he might have to fight against the Kunpeng. Thinking of the Kunpeng, he naturally thought of the song "Wandering Freely". That was why he was itching to draw the legendary Kunpeng according to the song "Wandering Freely".
The Queen of the West hurriedly waved her hands. Her heart twitched, but she couldn't show it on her face. With a complicated expression, she said, "Lord Holy Lord, you must be joking. How could we laugh at your joke …"
You've already painted it like this, and you still say that your painting skills have deteriorated? You're being modest on purpose, right? That can't be true.
"Little Daji, you finally know to come back." Li Nianfan looked at Daji, and suddenly revealed a warm smile. Then, his eyes fell on the little fox in Daji's arms. He said in surprise, "Oh, the little fox is also back. Quickly give it to me for a hug. Wow, its body is even softer and warmer."
But soon, he noticed something strange. He raised his eyebrows slightly. "Why do you look so listless?"
He looked at Daji again, and realized that her face was pale. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable tiredness, and even bloodshot. He looked at the others, and they all looked dispirited and listless. Their breathing was a little weak.
Especially Xiao Chengfeng, he had obviously taken care of himself carefully before he came, but it was still difficult to hide the slackness in his eyes. The words "I can't be fast enough" were written between his eyebrows.
Li Nianfan was, after all, proficient in medicine. He could still see this most basic thing. He immediately said, "Everyone's condition isn't very good? This is … a fight with someone? "
He thought for a moment and figured it out. This group of people came here together today not because of a coincidence, but because they had just finished a group fight, and then came here with Daji.
And what could make Daji and the others fight, it was most likely related to the Yao Clan.
Daji saw Li Nianfan looking at her, and suddenly the tip of her nose twitched. Her eyes reddened as she said softly, "Young Master, we failed …"
Sure enough.
This group of people wanted to unify the Yao Clan, but unfortunately, the path collapsed.
"Alright, it's not a big deal. As long as you're fine, it's fine. As the saying goes, where there's life, there's hope." Li Nianfan gently scratched Daji's little nose, comforting her. Then, he smiled and held her hand to take her pulse.
"Her breathing is chaotic, and her blood is deficient." Li Nianfan breathed a sigh of relief. It's just too weak. She seems to be injured, but it's far from life-threatening. She'll be fine as long as she recuperates and replenishes her blood.
The Immortal Cultivation World is still too dangerous. Li Nianfan's heart ached, but he was already mentally prepared. It's too difficult to come out unscathed.
He looked at Xiao Chengfeng and said with concern, "Elder Xiao, your injuries seem to be quite serious. How do you feel?"
Xiao Chengfeng was immediately flattered and smiled. "I'm fine, it's not a big deal. I can live … cough cough cough —"
Li Nianfan saw him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his heart sank. The color of the blood was dark and mixed. This was definitely an internal injury.
For a dignified Immortal to become like this, his injuries were obviously not light.
Moreover, this time, even the Jade Emperor and the Empress of the West came. For them to be involved in the battle … Li Nianfan could already imagine how tragic it must have been.
His face darkened, and he said solemnly, "Is it because of the Kun Peng Demon Master?"
"Yes." Huo Feng said, "Not long ago, the Kun Peng Demon Master gathered a large number of demons and prepared to forcibly unify the Demon World. This time, it's really thanks to the help of the people of the Heavenly Palace. Otherwise, little Daji and I wouldn't have been able to deal with it."
"It's really the Kun Peng. That's really terrifying."
Li Nianfan slowly took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in his heart. The Kun Peng Demon Master was a powerful figure that existed in the Untainted Land and was at the peak of Sage-to-be. In his eyes, they were just like ants. That was close. He almost couldn't see little Daji again.
No wonder he had recently thought of painting the Kun Peng on a whim. Was it because of his feelings?
He hurriedly cupped his hands to the Jade Emperor and the Empress of the West and thanked them sincerely. "Thank you so much, Your Majesty and Empress. If it weren't for your help, I can't imagine the consequences."
The Jade Emperor returned the salute and said, "Lord Holy Sage, you're too polite. This is what we should do. Moreover, the Kun Peng Demon Master has wild ambitions. We're also helping ourselves."
"Anyway, thank you so much." Li Nianfan could tell that this was a proper word of modesty.
If he hadn't informed them beforehand, the Jade Emperor and the Empress of the West wouldn't have cared about the life and death of a small character like Daji.
It was really important to cling to the big shots' thighs as much as possible.
"By the way, why are you all standing? Hurry up and sit down. Sit down."
Li Nianfan greeted them warmly. "You've all come at the right time. The honey peaches planted in the backyard have just ripened. They're sweeter than the usual fruits. You must try them. Xiao Bai, go and prepare them."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Bai immediately took the order and left.
Honey peaches?
Could it be …
The Jade Emperor and the Empress of the West looked at each other. Then, they saw Xiao Bai coming over with a tray.
Their bodies trembled as if they had been struck by lightning.
On the tray, there were three plates, and on each plate were round peaches. The peaches were as smooth as jade, emitting a lustrous glow under the sunlight. They seemed to be wrapped in a layer of sunlight, making people dizzy just by looking at them.
A mystical aura, accompanied by the fragrance of the peaches, penetrated into their hearts and minds. Everyone felt refreshed and happy, as if they had become tens of thousands of years younger in an instant.
Of all the people present, the Jade Emperor and the Empress of the West had the most intense reaction. Their breathing quickened and their faces flushed red. They stared at the peaches as if they wanted to glue their eyeballs onto them.
Peaches of immortality, they really are peaches of immortality!
They cried out in their hearts. Their throats rolled and their lips trembled.
In the past, peaches of immortality were nothing more than ordinary things. However, to them now, peaches of immortality were a luxury. They represented distant memories. It had been too many years and they seemed to have forgotten the taste of peaches of immortality.
They remembered that the last time they saw peaches of immortality was in a dream. This time … it was just like a dream.
The Empress of the West sniffled and secretly turned her head to wipe away the tears that were about to flow out from the corner of her eyes. She was in charge of the Peach Garden in the past. Her feelings for peaches of immortality were much deeper than the Jade Emperor's.
She hurriedly took a deep breath and tried her best to remain calm. She kept trying to hypnotize herself. "Calm down. I have to hold back my tears. I can't be rude in front of the expert. Peach, this is a peach."
"This, this is …"
Ao Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stared blankly at the plate of immortality peaches placed in front of him. He stuttered, "Peach … honey peaches?"
It was definitely a peach of immortality.
Back then, he was just a little dragon. He was not qualified to attend the Peach of Immortality feast. However, he saw it from afar. Naturally, the peach of immortality left a deep impression on him. It was something that he dreamed of.
Back then, his dream was … to be able to eat a peach of immortality. That would be the pinnacle of his dragon life.
Later on, when the Heavenly Portal opened, eating a peach of immortality became even more of a dream. He did not even dare to dream that one day, it would be placed in front of him for him to taste.
The expert must be satisfied with their actions in saving Daji. That was why he was willing to let them eat it. Otherwise, they would not be able to eat it. Their bodies would probably be cold by now.
Li Nianfan urged, "Don't just stand there. Everyone, eat it. Let's see what it tastes like."
"Aye, aye. We'll eat it now."
Everyone did not dare to delay. Immediately, each of them took a peach and started eating.
It had to be said that this peach was really big. It was strenuous to hold it with one hand. However, it was because of its size that it was especially satisfying to eat. Moreover, the peach was neither soft nor hard, and the texture was just right. When he held it and bit it, the peach skin was like a layer of membrane. With a "pu" sound, the peach skin was bitten through. Then, like a dam bursting, a large amount of juice splashed out and directly shot into his mouth.
The sweet juice occupied one's mouth. Immediately, an indescribable sense of satisfaction and enjoyment filled one's body and mind.
This was indeed the taste of a peach. However, there was also an indescribable taste that transcended the mortal world. It could not be described with words.
If one had to describe it, the only word that could describe it was the simplest and most unadorned word: delicious!
After this delicious taste, an incomparably powerful aura of life began to spread throughout everyone's body through the peach juice that they had swallowed. It was as if they were soaking in a hot spring, causing everyone to feel warm and comfortable, and their cheeks to blush.
Their bodies and minds that were originally exhausted from the battle were instantly soothed. Even their mental exhaustion was gradually dispelled.
"Pfft, pfft …"
No one spoke. Only the sound of peaches being eaten could be heard in the entire courtyard. In between, there was the sound of sucking juice.
Not long after, one peach after another was eaten by everyone. Everyone's face showed that they wanted more. At the same time, they felt satisfied. Being around the expert was the best enjoyment in life!
The Jade Emperor and the Empress of the West were shocked and in disbelief. They even started to doubt their lives.
Was this really a peach of immortality? Not only was the taste much better, but its effect was also much stronger. Its vitality was at least twice as strong as before!
The gap between them … wasn't just huge.
Li Nianfan saw that they were about to throw the peach pit into the trash can. He immediately reminded them, "Don't throw the pit away. Just leave it on the table. I still want to use it to plant peach trees."
Everyone was stunned. The Jade Emperor and the Empress of the West were even more petrified. They could not believe their ears. "Use this peach pit … to plant peach trees?"
Li Nianfan waved his hand and could not help but laugh. "Hahaha, don't you understand? You bunch of immortals do not eat the food of mortals. Using peach pits to plant peach trees is just a simple trick. It is not worth mentioning. I have already planted a few and the effect is not bad. They have already sprouted. "
Who is the one who is not eating the food of mortals?
You should be the one who does not know the immortals!
The peach of immortality is the spiritual root of heaven and earth. It was born with heaven and earth! Can it be grown with peach pits?
You are the only one in the entire world who can grow it, right?
And this is only a small trick … This humble one is ignorant and inexperienced.
The Empress of the West was stunned by Li Nianfan. She did not know what to do. She could only bite the bullet and say, "I see. I have learned."
