Merit, a huge amount of merit had arrived!
"Woof, woof, woof!"
The Celestial Hound barked excitedly. It immediately took out its bowl and received the merit to refine it.
This was the second time it had received merit. It was naturally excited and felt that it was about to reach the peak of its dog life.
Yang Jian took out a whip called the Mountain-Moving Whip and started refining it.
His three-pointed double-edged sword was transformed from a three-headed dragon. It could not be refined with merit like a normal Dharma treasure.
Receiving the huge amount of merit, Yang Jian had a complicated expression on his face. He felt ashamed.
He had just arrived. First, he listened to the expert's song. Then, he broke through the bottleneck and entered the Sage-to-be Realm. Now, he had received a huge amount of merit. This, this … What did I do to deserve this? It was really embarrassing.
I, Yang Jian, have lived for so many years, but I have never been so shameless.
He even felt embarrassed to breathe in the Spiritual Qi in the yard. Shame, shame!
Ao Cheng was so envious that his eyes almost popped out.
Erlang Immortal was really good at bootlicking. Look, the expert gave him merit as soon as he opened his mouth. It was really enviable.
Daji and Huo Feng were also envious. After all … who didn't want merit? Master had given them merit so many times, but it seemed that they had never received any. They had to work hard and not embarrass Master!
The Golden Light of Merit slowly dissipated. Li Nianfan stopped and smiled. "That's all. Don't think it's too little."
Yang Jian's body trembled. He quickly said, "Lord Saint, you must be joking. I can't thank you enough. Why would I think it's too little?"
The Celestial Hound also said sincerely, "Thank you, Lord Saint, for your reward."
"You're welcome." Li Nianfan waved his hand. "By the way, please take a seat. Xiao Bai, serve the guest tea and some fruit platters. Also, get some peaches for Erlang Immortal."
"Yes, my honorable master!" Xiao Bai immediately accepted the order and left.
Ao Cheng took out a package and said, "Young Master Li, this is the seafood we brought this time. There are many new varieties shipped from the South China Sea. They have all been carefully selected. See if you like them."
Then, with a wave of his hand, a few more big things appeared on the ground. There were fish, various kinds of prawns and crabs, and they were not small in size.
To ensure freshness, they were still alive. However, before Ao Cheng's Dragon Might, they did not dare to move at all, behaving very obediently.
"Oh?"
Li Nianfan's eyes suddenly lit up. He opened the package and glanced at it. He immediately showed a satisfied expression.
"Wow, tuna, Boston lobster. Hahaha, not bad, not bad. Elder Ao is really thoughtful."
He ordered, "Nanna, Long'er, as usual, put the seafood next to the fridge. You'll be in for a treat in the future."
"Hee hee hee, okay, big brother."
As Ao Cheng watched the seafood being taken away, he could not help but feel emotional.
He thought to himself, 'You seafood can stay in this yard for a period of time. That's really a blessing from eight lifetimes. Moreover, you can even become food on the expert's plate. Your death is worth it! I wonder how many seafood are envious of you! '
Li Nianfan's heart skipped a beat. He asked curiously, "Elder Ao, you can even get seafood from the South China Sea now? Could it be that the Sea Clan in the South China Sea has been quelled? "
Ao Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, thanks to the Lord Saint, it has been quelled not long ago. It was quite smooth."
"Congratulations, then." Li Nianfan laughed. In this way, not only did they have one less hidden danger, but the strength of their support had also increased. That was a good thing!
While they were talking, Xiao Bai had already walked over with a tray.
"Dear guests, please enjoy."
"Thank you, Xiao Bai."
Ao Cheng and Yang Jian clasped their hands at the same time. Then, their gazes landed on the tea in their cups. Their pupils immediately constricted when they saw the tea.
Just as he had guessed, even the water had evolved!
The tea in the cup did not seem to have any changes, but if they used their divine sense to probe, it would actually bounce back!
That was extremely terrifying!
They were immortals, and their cultivation was extremely high. Yet, they could not even detect a cup of water. The meaning of that … was self-evident!
Just like the Immortal Spirit Water from before, if one used their divine sense to probe, they could clearly feel the Immortal Qi in it. However, the current situation could only mean one thing.
That was … the water in the cup was of a higher level than the immortal technique they cultivated. That was why it could easily bounce back their divine sense.
"This water …"
Yang Jian's throat involuntarily moved. He was so shocked that his whole body was a little numb. He thought to himself, "I'm afraid it has already surpassed the existence of this world!"
Ao Cheng and Yang Jian looked at each other and saw the caution in each other's eyes. Then, they pursed their lips, slowly picked up the cup, and took a sip.
The tea entered their mouths. It was warm and a little bitter. However, this bitterness was not disdainful at all. Instead, it made people feel a sense of familiarity. It was as if with such a trace of bitterness, one's life could be considered complete.
Just by holding the tea in their mouths, their minds went blank. Their bodies seemed to have become one with the world. The space they were in turned into a river, allowing them to clearly feel the pulse of the world's Great Dao.
After a long time, they opened their eyes and were extremely shocked.
The enlightenment just now was naturally worlds apart from Li Nianfan's music. However, at their level, to be able to give them a sense of enlightenment, even if it was only a trace, was extremely heaven-defying.
The enlightenment attribute contained in this tea was simply terrifying!
Yang Jian did not doubt that even a Saint would treat it as a treasure!
Looking at the fruit platter and honey peaches that were served, he was also unable to detect them with his divine sense. Clearly, they were beyond the category of immortal fruits. They were most likely not existences that could be nurtured by this world.
"The evolved version of the peaches of immortality …"
Yang Jian felt that he had become more knowledgeable. He suddenly realized that he was a complete country bumpkin in the past.
He was a little embarrassed to eat, and there were some things that he had to say. He said apologetically, "Lord Saint, Yang Jian came in a hurry this time and did not prepare anything. I didn't even bring a single wild game. I'm sorry to have troubled Lord Saint to entertain me. I'm really … sorry!"
When had he, the dignified Heavenly Justice God, ever been in such dire straits? He only hated that he was poor.
Li Nianfan immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha, True Lord Erlang is too polite. It's just some food. It's not anything precious. Don't take it to heart. Eat, eat quickly!"
He was extremely pleased with himself. Looks like even the dignified True Lord Erlang couldn't withstand my passionate attacks. He had already been taken down.
First, he gave him a wave of merit, then he entertained him with delicious food. With True Lord Erlang's upright and arrogant personality, how could he not treat him as one of his own?
This wave of cozying up to him was perfect!
"Oh right, speaking of wild game, I have something to ask the two of you." As he spoke, Li Nianfan picked up a book on the side of the stone table and asked curiously, "Have you seen the demons recorded in this book?"
Yang Jian and Ao Cheng's expressions instantly froze. Their hearts were filled with seriousness as they hurriedly looked at the book.
This was the matter of an expert, so they had to treat it seriously.
At first glance, they revealed a look of surprise. This book was different from any book they had seen before. The cover was colored, and the paper was thick and hard. It reflected light and looked quite mystical.
As expected of an expert, even the paper used was not ordinary.
Yang Jian respectfully took the book and began to flip through it.
The three words "Classic of Mountains and Seas" were printed on the cover of the book. It looked majestic, and the first page of the book was a picture.
It was a black tiger with wings on its back. Its eyes were white, and its fangs were long from its upper jaw to its lower jaw. Its tail was in the shape of a black and white ring.
An extremely ferocious aura suddenly erupted from the picture. The ferocious beast in the picture seemed to have come alive, and would jump out at any time to erupt with destructive power.
Even Yang Jian felt a wave of fear.
He took a deep breath and snorted in his heart. He suppressed the ferocious aura in the picture and continued to read.
This book was a standard book. It used the method of using colored pictures with text descriptions below. It was an official chapter of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
It recorded all kinds of ferocious beasts with strange appearances.
Now, Li Nianfan had tasted kirin meat, dragon meat, and roc meat. These were all things that ordinary people did not even dare to think about. It could be said that he had seen the world.
However, he suddenly remembered that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that the system gave to him seemed to have many very strange ferocious beasts. Therefore, he took it out, curious if these ferocious beasts really existed in this world.
At the same time, he was also preparing to imitate the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and write a book of his own.
Yes, the name would be … "The Taste of Ten Thousand Beasts".
It would record the different types of demonic beast meat that he had tasted. It would record in detail the texture and taste of each part of the meat. This would definitely be a great achievement, and could add color to his boring life.
Moreover … when he thought about how he had tasted so many demonic beast meat, Li Nianfan was secretly pleased.
Yang Jian continued to carefully flip through the book. The demonic beasts in this book were dragons, phoenixes, and rocs. He had seen some of them before, but he had not seen some of them before.
He immediately had a thought and opened the third eye in front of his forehead. He recorded every page that he flipped through, so that he could find it for the expert in the future.
After flipping through the book, Yang Jian said, "Lord Saint, I have seen some of them before. However, there are many others that I am ignorant of. But don't worry, I will help you keep an eye out in the future."
Ao Cheng also said, "Lord Saint, I see that there are many sea monsters in this book. I can summon the sea race to keep an eye out for them."
Li Nianfan smiled and said indifferently, "Thank you for your kindness. I was just curious. Let's leave everything to fate. The ferocious beasts in this book might not even exist in this world."
Everyone chatted for a while more. Ao Cheng and Yang Jian did not dare to disturb Li Nianfan anymore. They stood up and left.
After leaving the four-part architecture, Yang Jian and Ao Cheng looked serious. They were thinking about the expert's intentions.
Yang Jian asked, "Elder Ao, what do you think?"
He was very anxious. He had received a lot of benefits from the expert. It was not easy for him to do something for the expert. However, he did not understand the expert's intentions. It was a pain in the ass.
'This … I have to understand it as soon as possible and do my best to complete it!'
Ao Cheng pondered for a while and said, "I guess the expert is looking for one or a few types of ferocious beasts."
Yang Jian nodded, "I think so too. The expert sounded curious. It is very likely that he wants to see what these ferocious beasts look like. Follow me to the Heavenly Palace and report this to the Jade Emperor. Send people to search for the ferocious beasts."
"Of course."
Ao Cheng nodded and said curiously, "But it is strange. We have lived for so long and have seen so much of the world. I didn't expect there to be a beast that we haven't seen before."
Yang Jian shook his head and said, "It's not strange. The Untainted Land is so big. Although it's divided into the Mortal World and the Immortal Realm, there are still many places that we haven't explored. Not to mention us, even the Sages can't say that they know the whole world like the back of their hands."
Xiao Tianquan could not help but ask, "Master, don't the sages claim to be able to predict everything?"
"You can't say that." Yang Jian shook his head and said, "Even if the mysteries of heaven are not hidden, the sages are not omnipotent! All predictions have to be based on one thing, and that is cause and effect! "
"The entire world is so big. It is chaotic, intertwined, and ever-changing. If there is no cause and effect between them, there is no trace to be found. There is not even a direction. How can one deduce?"
Xiao Tianquan was impressed, "You are indeed the master. You know so much."
Yang Jian glanced at the Howling Celestial Dog and realized that its licking skills were getting better and better.
He ignored it and said to himself, "There is no time to lose. Let's hurry back to the Heavenly Palace. Who knows, the Jade Emperor and Empress might know more about these ferocious beasts."
