The breakfast was finally over, with all the porridge in the pot completely divided.

Li Fan smiled. Nan Feng and Ziling, these two young girls, looked delicate and ladylike, but he didn't expect them to be foodies too.

Even Little White was influenced by them, eating two bowls of porridge today.

He suddenly started to worry if Little White would turn into a fat cat.

After eating, he brewed a pot of tea, brought it out, and sat on the stone chair, completely at ease. He held some corn kernels in his hand and occasionally sprinkled them towards the earth chickens.

The earth chickens swarmed around the corn kernels.

"Sister... I, I feel like these earth chickens are a bit strange..."

Ziling looked at the earth chickens, her big eyes a little dazed.

These earth chickens were clearly not ordinary! Just a casual glance made one feel a sense of pressure!

"I don't know... but what Teacher feeds them is definitely not ordinary. They could very well be some kind of Divine Beast, right? Didn't you notice? What Teacher uses to feed the chickens are all Sacred Medicines..."

Nan Feng said with a complicated expression.

It really was a case of comparing people and getting angry.

When they were in the Sacred Land, they were considered chosen ones, and they usually had a sense of superiority, as they could obtain better resources from their sect.

Compared to ordinary forces, they were practically aloof and unattainable.

But now, a cat and a flock of earth chickens that Senior Li casually kept... ate better than the Supreme Beings of their Sacred Land.

If this were to get out, how many Supreme Beings would die of anger?

However, thinking that she and Ziling had now become disciples of this senior and obtained such immense Immortal Destiny, she felt a surge of excitement.

"I'm full, it's time to practice. Ziling, your task today is to draw this egg!"

Li Fan took an egg the size of a fist from the earth chicken coop and handed it to Ziling.

Ziling took the "egg" and was a little stunned.

Senior Li called this an egg?

Nan Feng was also shocked, murmuring, "This egg contains infinite fire spiritual energy, like a dormant volcano, and the shell faintly shows fire-colored phoenix patterns... What kind of egg is this?"

"I feel like I'm holding a Supreme Being in my hand..."

Ziling felt like she was about to cry from fear. What kind of ferocious beast's egg was this? It was terrifying even before hatching...

The key point was that when they were eating porridge earlier, Senior Li seemed to say that the earth chickens hadn't been laying eggs frequently lately, so there were no eggs to eat, and they had to eat vegetable porridge...

Senior Li often ate eggs like this...

What kind of terrifying creatures did he keep as egg-laying chickens!

"What? You don't want to?"

Seeing Ziling dazed, Li Fan frowned. "The most important thing in painting is the fundamentals. And fundamentals are actually about seeing the essence through the phenomenon. When you can draw a simple egg thousands or tens of thousands of times, you should be able to truly understand the subject you are painting."

"Only then will your fundamentals be considered trained."

He taught patiently. Ziling was also a bit intelligent. Since he had taken her as a disciple, he had to be responsible for her.

Hearing this, Ziling quickly nodded and said, "Ziling understands."

She then set up the Xuan paper and ink on the stone table nearby, placed the "earth egg" in front of her, began to observe, and started drawing.

"Nan Feng, pour me some tea, and then play a song."

Li Fan said leisurely as he sat down.

Nan Feng immediately stepped forward and respectfully poured Li Fan a cup of tea. The swirling tea steam instantly calmed her mind.

Respectfully handing the tea to Li Fan, she walked to the side and began to play.

In the small courtyard, under the peach tree, Li Fan leisurely sipped his tea.

In his ears, the music of a beauty.

Before his eyes, a maiden painting.

Li Fan suddenly felt a deep sense of satisfaction. Even the strong cultivators might not have such happiness as he did.

After a long while, Nan Feng finished her song, and Ziling had also filled a sheet of Xuan paper with drawings of the egg.

Li Fan offered them some pointers, and both felt enlightened and gained much.

"Dong dong dong."

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

"Little Li, hurry and open the door, I've brought you some meat!"

Hearing this, Li Fan immediately got up and opened the door.

He saw Aunt Zhang standing at the door, holding the hind leg of some unknown animal.

"What is this?"

Li Fan was a little confused.

Aunt Zhang chuckled, "Little Li, let me tell you, there was an earthquake last night!"

"You don't know, so many mountains collapsed. When I woke up, everything was turned upside down. And our little mountain village remained completely still. Isn't that amazing? A lot of flying beasts and birds from the mountains actually died near the village!"

"Those flying beasts and birds are all top-quality goods, their meat is delicious. It's a shame their hides are so thick that everyone's steel knives snapped. Fortunately, you made me a cleaver before, and that cleaver was useful. I cut them up easily. I'll bring you a hind leg."

Hearing this, Li Fan was stunned.

An earthquake?

Behind him, Ziling and Nan Feng were even more shocked!

An earthquake? Could it be the Cangli Mountain Range?

Was there a major disturbance there?

And that leg Aunt Zhang was holding... didn't it look a bit like the leg of the legendary Golden Beast...

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang. Since there was an earthquake, I should go out and take a look too."

Li Fan took the meat Aunt Zhang gave him and casually hung it on the wall nearby.

He never liked eating wild game, but it could be used to feed the cat. Thinking of this, he patted Xiao Bai and said, "You're in for a treat tonight."

Bai Xiaoqing, who had been staring blankly at the leg, became instantly excited upon hearing Li Fan's words.

Meow, meow meow... Is this real?

Others might not recognize it, but she, Bai Xiaoqing, knew very well that that leg was the hind leg of the legendary "Golden Beast"!

The Golden Beast was said to possess a trace of Kirin bloodline within its body!

It could be called a Divine Beast!

And if one could obtain the flesh and blood of such a Divine Beast, it would be of great benefit to her!

She couldn't help but rub her head against Li Fan.

"Let's go, we'll go out and see."

Li Fan then walked out of the small courtyard and headed towards the place Aunt Zhang mentioned where the carcasses of beasts lay.

And at this moment.

On the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range.

Imperial Sky Ships appeared and disappeared, and countless major powers had already arrived.

The aura of Supreme Beings could be seen in the sky from time to time.

On one of the flying ships.

An old man with a long flute on his back gazed ahead.

He was deep in thought.

"Senior Brother Tie Ming, the Cangli Mountain Range has truly opened. The Sacred Artifact left by our Ancestor will surely appear!"

Beside him, an old man with a paintbrush tucked into his waist walked over, his old eyes filled with fervor.

"But, don't forget, the Sacred Artifact left by our Ancestor can only be obtained by the younger generation."

Tie Ming said in a deep voice.

"Your disciples and mine are all top-tier in the Sacred Land. Who else can compare to them?"

The old man with the paintbrush chuckled disdainfully.

"Have you forgotten? Old Ghost Mo's two disciples arrived here several days ago. Although Old Ghost Mo has passed away, his two disciples are no pushovers. In terms of Guqin and painting, they are among the foremost of the younger generation in the Sacred Land."

Tie Ming said.

"Two Spirit Severing Stage cultivators without Supreme Being protection, what waves can they stir up?"

The old man with the paintbrush sneered and waved his hand behind him, saying, "Ao Ming, Zhu Xin, you two take people to search. As for Nan Feng and Ziling, it's time they met their Master!"

At the rear of the flying ship, a man and a woman immediately nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Master!"
