Tongtian, Little Tongtong, Eat More Pig Brains to Nourish Your Brain

"If you don't call me Grandpa today, don't come back again."

Huh?

Sect Master Tongtian calmed down somewhat at those words.

What had he come here for in the first place? Wasn't it for the possible opportunity?

If he could not come back in the future, what opportunity would there be left?

Sect Master Tongtian cast a cold glance at the Jade Emperor, then at Yang Jian, before squeezing two words out through gritted teeth with all his strength. "Grandpa."

"Brother Tong, louder. Grandpa isn't going to eat you." Yang Jian still wore a grin as he slung an arm around Sect Master Tongtian's shoulders and gave him a shake.

Jade Emperor brat! Sect Master Tongtian hated him to the core.

Why had he not settled their identities before entering the courtyard?

Sect Master Tongtian threw caution to the wind and shouted, "Hello, Grandpa!"

"Ah, good grandson! Grandpa will cook something tasty for lunch and nourish your brain." Zhang Yifan answered with a chuckle, kindly reaching out to pat Sect Master Tongtian's head.

Having said it aloud, Sect Master Tongtian actually relaxed. "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Mm, your brain really does need some nourishment~ Hehehehe~" The Jade Emperor nodded, holding back his laughter.

The moment he turned around, he burst out laughing so hard that tears nearly flowed from his eyes.

Luckily, the Jade Emperor was capable enough to keep himself from snorting like a pig. Yang Jian, meanwhile, had long since lost control. He bit down on his fist, yet tears still welled at the corners of his eyes from laughing.

Ah, that felt so satisfying.

Seeing that the Jade Emperor brat was still laughing, Zhang Yifan kicked him, then said to Sect Master Tongtian, "All right, Little Tongtong, don't be nervous. Grandpa's going to cook now. You three can wander around the courtyard first."

They watched Zhang Yifan leave and enter the house.

The Jade Emperor and Yang Jian could no longer hold it in.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Little Tongtong! Hahaha!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The Jade Emperor and Yang Jian laughed until they rolled around. Neither looked anything like the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court or an imposing celestial god. They were simply two living treasures.

"Hmph. If you dare call me that again..." Sect Master Tongtian's voice was icy.

"Oh, don't be like that~ Once a nephew, always a nephew!" The Jade Emperor was utterly unafraid and laughed as he shot back.

"That's right, Little Tongtong, Brother Tong. Once a little brother, always a little brother." Yang Jian refused to be outdone and continued teasing him.

Sect Master Tongtian raised a finger and shook it, wanting to curse them a few times, but in the end, he could not bring himself to say it. With an angry flick of his sleeve, he left the orchard and headed into the house.

"HAHAHAHA!"

Watching Sect Master Tongtian leave, the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian burst into laughter again.

After laughing for a while, the Jade Emperor patted Yang Jian's shoulder and said, "My good nephew, well done!"

"Uncle, you're still the mighty one. I saw you were trying to stomp on Sect Master Tongtian's status, and your nephew here admired you greatly, so I went along with it. With Grandpa here, what the hell do we have to fear?"

"That's right! With my father and your grandpa here, what the hell do we have to fear?" the Heavenly Emperor said with a laugh.

"This is the kind of Heavenly Emperor I want to be. Even Saints are nothing more than pieces on my chessboard, dogs at my feet!" The Jade Emperor was overwhelmed with emotion. This was the Heavenly Emperor he had always dreamed of becoming!

Here with Zhang Yifan, the Jade Emperor shattered the shackles in his heart and broke through his psychological barrier that Saints were untouchable, raising his state of mind to unprecedented heights.

What Saints? They were nothing special after all.

In the little farmhouse courtyard.

Sect Master Tongtian walked around.

The more he looked around the courtyard, the more alarmed he became.

He had just seen Qilin Old Ancestor Big Black Dog.

Sect Master Tongtian vaguely felt that Old Ancestor Qilin's strength could likely rival that of a Saint. Even he, a Saint, could only perceive that strength and realm vaguely and could not see through it clearly.

Besides Qilin Old Ancestor Big Black Dog, Sect Master Tongtian had also seen the nine Ten Golden Crows in the trees.

Every one of those Ten Golden Crows possessed unfathomable strength, far surpassing ordinary Quasi-Saint mighty beings.

"Chaos Breathing Soil, Old Ancestor Qilin, Ten Golden Crows, and cultivation suppressed upon entering the house. None of this seems like something Primordial Era Mighty Beings could accomplish. Could this Grandpa be a Great Dao Saint?"

"Are Great Dao Saints truly this terrifying?"

Though he had yet to see the Dragon Ancestor or the other wonders here, Sect Master Tongtian was already thoroughly shaken.

At noon.

Zhang Yifan cooked several dishes.

He had especially cooked several pig brains for Little Tongtong.

As the saying went, eat brains to nourish the brain.

Zhang Yifan saw that Sect Master Tongtian did not seem particularly sharp, so naturally, he wanted to nourish his brain.

"It smells so good!"

Sitting before the dining table, Sect Master Tongtian took a sniff and could not help praising it.

Even he, a Saint, found the food incredibly fragrant.

Moreover, the fragrance faintly carried traces of Great Dao Laws, which was utterly astonishing.

"If it smells good, eat more." Zhang Yifan smiled as he placed a pig brain in Sect Master Tongtian's bowl. "Come, Little Tongtong. Eat more of this today. This is good stuff, very nourishing."

"That's right, dear nephew. Eat more. It nourishes the brain." The Jade Emperor smiled.

Sect Master Tongtian sighed lifelessly. This Jade Emperor really deserved a beating.

"You fool, you're teasing him again! Don't you know Little Tongtong is nervous because this is his first time here? And you keep talking."

Zhang Yifan raised his chopsticks and smacked the Jade Emperor on the head, leaving him looking utterly wronged.

"Have some drinks with your old man at noon. Those two little fellows can just drink tea."

"All right!"

The Jade Emperor's eyes lit up. That wine was good stuff. He accepted a jar of wine.

He had lived here for a month before, and he had drunk wine every day. His cultivation had shot up rapidly, and he was nearly at the Quasi-Saint Peak.

Yang Jian also knew it was good stuff, but since his grandpa Zhang Yifan had said so, he could only lick his lips and lament inwardly that he would not get to drink.

However, upon smelling the aroma of the pot of tea Zhang Yifan brought over, Yang Jian instantly perked up. That fragrance made his mind feel much clearer and more lucid!

Sect Master Tongtian's eyes also lit up.

"This is... Enlightenment Tea?" Sect Master Tongtian asked in surprise.

"Enlightenment Tea?" The Jade Emperor was stunned and stared at the teacup as well.

Enlightenment Tea was incredibly good stuff!

One sip could help people cultivate quickly and see through the essence of things.

Sect Master Tongtian picked up the tea and took a sip.

It really was Enlightenment Tea!

Within the Primordial Era, Enlightenment Tea was exceedingly scarce. Every Saint coveted it greatly.

Yet he had actually gotten to drink it here.

Yang Jian, seeing this, also picked up his cup and took a sip.

Boom.

Yang Jian only felt his mind become incomparably lucid. It was as though a layer of lard covering his brain had been swept aside, and the world instantly became clear.

Things he had not fully understood during cultivation in the past now came to him naturally. He understood them. He comprehended them.

It was too wonderful!

He had only experienced this feeling when inspiration had explosively surged in the past.

Yet now, this feeling was even more intense than such bursts of inspiration!

And it lasted longer.

As long as he drank this Enlightenment Tea, he could continue maintaining this clear, lucid state.

His cultivation was improving!

Yang Jian was overjoyed.

"Come on, don't just drink. Hurry and eat."

Seeing Sect Master Tongtian and Yang Jian immersed in the taste of the tea without eating, Zhang Yifan called out to them.

The Jade Emperor had long been itching to move. If Zhang Yifan had not held him back, he would have already swept through the food like a whirlwind.

"Yes, Grandpa." Yang Jian came back to his senses and began eating.

Boom!

The moment a mouthful of food entered his throat, a surge of pure energy flooded into his body. The energy within those Fragments of Great Dao Laws was simply astonishing.

Yang Jian could clearly feel his cultivation rising at a visible rate.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

"Tasty, so tasty!"

Yang Jian's eyes gleamed. He instantly looked like a starving ghost, staring fixedly at the dishes on the table while his hands never stopped moving.

Sect Master Tongtian beside him was equally shocked.

This food actually contained Fragments of Great Dao Laws!

Eating a single bite allowed one to comprehend some Great Dao Laws.

Those were Great Dao Laws!

The Great Dao!

Not the Heavenly Dao!

This food was simply incredible!

Seeing Yang Jian suddenly begin fighting for food, Sect Master Tongtian did not stand on ceremony either. He began snatching dishes and eating like a whirlwind as well.

Seeing the two of them like this, the Jade Emperor naturally did not hold back either and joined the battle.

In no more than a few breaths, the huge table of dishes was wiped clean by the three of them.

If the Jade Emperor had not been quick, even the jar of wine in front of him would have been snatched away by Sect Master Tongtian.

Zhang Yifan had only taken one sip of wine when he saw the food vanish. He could not help feeling a little sad as he looked at Sect Master Tongtian and Yang Jian with pity. "Little Tongtong, Little Yang, are you so poor while wandering outside that you can't even afford food? How did you get this hungry?"

"If you don't have money for food in the future, go find your big uncle or uncle. Or, if you know the way, come find your grandpa and grandpa here."

"Grandpa, it's mainly because your cooking is so delicious. The food outside cannot compare, so I couldn't help myself."

"Exactly. If I hadn't eaten quickly, Little Yang, this starving ghost, would have snatched everything." Sect Master Tongtian nodded.

Yang Jian merely rolled his eyes.

"Grandpa, do you still have any of that Enlightenment Tea?" Sect Master Tongtian looked at Zhang Yifan and asked.

"Enlightenment Tea? What Enlightenment Tea?" Zhang Yifan was stunned, having no idea what Enlightenment Tea was.

"The tea you just gave us to drink."

"Oh, those tea leaves. Yes, there are plenty. There's a lot in the backyard, and I've got a whole storeroom full inside. You like tea?"

"I do!" Sect Master Tongtian nodded heavily.

"If you like it, Grandpa will give you a whole sack to take home later." Zhang Yifan spoke generously.

!!!

!!!

A whole sack to take home?

Sect Master Tongtian was overjoyed, and a smile even appeared on his face.

"Grandpa, I want some too! I like tea too! I want a whole sack too." Yang Jian immediately jumped in, clinging to Zhang Yifan's arm and shaking it like he was acting cute.

Damn, who would not want sacks and sacks of Enlightenment Tea?

"All right, all right, everyone gets some." Zhang Yifan patted Yang Jian's hand and laughed.

"Dad, I like it too. I want a whole sack too." The Jade Emperor called out. How could he miss out on such good stuff?

The Jade Emperor was furious. He had lived here for so long and drank wine every day, yet he had actually missed something as good as Enlightenment Tea!

Had he known earlier, he would have stopped drinking wine and drunk tea all day instead.

"You little brat, do you think I run a tea shop? You want a whole sack too? At most, I'll give you a small packet." Zhang Yifan said irritably to the Jade Emperor.

"..." The Jade Emperor was speechless. Why was Zhang Yifan so biased?

Sure enough, grandparents favored the next generation.

Look at how well he treated Yang Jian, his grandson, and Sect Master Tongtian, his grandson!

Yet toward him, his own son, Zhang Yifan did not care at all.

The Jade Emperor raised his head and gazed up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, unable to help sighing.

Smack!

Zhang Yifan raised his hand and slapped the back of the Jade Emperor's head. "Why are you pretending to be all deep? Later, take three sacks for your wife and my granddaughters to drink."

"Ah, yes, Dad!" The Jade Emperor immediately beamed, calling him Dad as smoothly as ever.
