Holy Medicine? Not Even Good Enough to Feed Chickens
In the Small Courtyard.
Li Fan had finished washing up.
Last night, that tiger cooked a huge pot of soup.
Gongya was about to go to the kitchen to cook breakfast when Li Fan spoke up:
"Just boil two eggs for Little White, but let's change things up today. I'll make you some noodles."
The noodles cooked in tiger bone broth tasted pretty good.
"Yes, Master."
Gongya spoke.
Li Fan immediately went to the kitchen and cooked noodles himself.
Before long, each person had a steaming bowl of tiger bone soup noodles.
Wow... it smells so good!
Ziling couldn't resist indulging in the delicious food.
"Master's noodles are so delicious!"
Nan Feng and Su Baiqian, disregarding their ladylike image, were completely absorbed in the delicious food.
The group of male disciples devoured the food.
Li Fan ate a little and then went to feed Little White breakfast. It ate eggs and refused to eat the meat from last night, not even touching the soup.
Li Fan gently touched it.
After finishing her egg, Bai Xiaoqing turned around and meowed, a hint of grievance in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, I know you don't like the taste of this meat. How about we don't eat it anymore?"
Li Fan gently rubbed her stomach.
Bai Xiaoqing let out a soft cry and then surrendered herself to Li Fan's grasp.
Li Fan smiled. This Little White Cat is really intelligent.
After everyone had finished eating, Li Fan stood up and said:
"Today, I'll teach you a new set of gymnastics!"
The disciples of Colorful Sunshine have almost finished their studies, and Li Fan has recently mastered the "Calling of the Era" technique as well.
Yes, we can start teaching them now.
Upon hearing this, the disciples were overjoyed!
"I can do exercises with Master again, that's great!"
Ziling was overjoyed.
"The gymnastics routine this time should be different from the last one. I'm looking forward to it!"
Nan Feng and Su Baiqian also looked on with great anticipation.
A group of male disciples were ready instantly and lined up.
Li Fan immediately said:
"Our rhythm is the same, come and do it with me, first section, stretching exercises... one two three four, five six seven eight, two two three four, five six seven eight..."
Li Fan started performing the movements while calling out the rhythm.
A group of disciples also followed him to learn.
"Indeed, this is another path of gymnastics, different from the Colorful Sunshine... but equally profound!"
"I feel... the potential within me has been further activated!"
"The gymnastics principles our master taught us can continuously hone and develop our bodies!"
The disciples were all extremely solemn.
Having already gained experience learning about the Colorful Sunshine, they progressed much faster this time, and it wasn't as difficult as before.
"Hmm, Ziling has finally raised her leg higher. Nan Feng, lower your waist a little more..."
"Gongya did a great job!"
"Dade, don't just work out your glutes..."
Li Fan gave instructions while doing gymnastics.
It was finally finished soon.
Ziling and Nan Feng, etc., were drenched in fragrant sweat.
Although they have now reached the Saint Dao Perfection, this gymnastics still feels strenuous to them.
Long Zixuan and the others were covered in sweat, but they had all gained a lot.
And at this moment.
Mu Rantian and the others finally arrived outside the Small Courtyard.
Unique Leisurely Courtyard!
"This Small Courtyard... is so secluded that one dares not even peek inside!"
Mu Rantian was startled.
He only glanced at them, but he already felt that those four words... were like divine pronouncements!
Do not look directly at it.
On the contrary, Mu Wanqing, although facing this Small Courtyard felt like facing the ocean, making her fully aware of her own insignificance, did not feel such a strong sense of fear.
Mu Wanqing took a deep breath and stepped forward, saying:
"Excuse me, is Senior Li home?"
She knocked on the door.
In the courtyard.
Li Fan had just finished gymnastics and was drinking the tea that Gongya handed him when he heard the noise outside the courtyard. He immediately said:
"Yes, please come in."
Mu Wanqing and the other two immediately pushed open the door and entered!
As they entered the Small Courtyard, all three of them froze!
The atmosphere here... is extraordinary!
"No... this peach tree, isn't it the real Sacrificial Spirit?!"
Mu Rantian saw the peach tree, he was shocked!
"I have a feeling... about those chickens over there..."
Mu Nanshan felt a chill run down his spine and didn't dare to look at it for even a second.
This imposing aura was as if facing Supreme Being.
It made their legs feel weak.
Mu Wanqing was also deeply shocked; she observed the soil in the Small Courtyard!
The soil here...
The quality is simply unbelievable!
It's even better than the ones in Small Mountain Village!
Heavens... what an amazing cave dwelling this is...!
They actually used such rare and precious soil to build a courtyard?
She looked at every brick, tile, blade of grass, and tree with suspicion...
She had no doubt that anything from this Small Courtyard, if taken outside, would likely cause a Blood War!
She took a deep breath, looked at Li Fan, and said:
"Greetings, Senior Li!"
Mu Rantian and Mu Nanshan looked at Li Fan, even more astonished. Was this the supreme expert who bestowed the spiritual land?
The owner of this Small Mountain Village...
They may seem ordinary, but they are certainly beings they cannot even imagine.
They also hurriedly bowed!
Li Fan smiled and said:
"We're all neighbors, no need for formalities, please rise!"
The three of them immediately stood up.
"So, how are things? Have you managed to save the grapes in your village?"
Li Fan spoke.
Mu Wanqing said gratefully, "Reporting to Senior, he's been saved! And his vitality... is far greater than before!"
"Thank you, senior!"
Mu Rantian also stepped forward and respectfully said:
"Reporting to the senior, I am Mu Rantian, the Village Chief of Wood Spirit Village, and this is Mu Nanshan, the most outstanding person of the middle generation in our village!"
"Wanqing was fortunate enough to receive your mercy, senior, and saved our entire Wood Spirit Village. Therefore, we have come here specifically to express our gratitude!"
As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment, then took out several brocade boxes and said:
"This is just a small token of our appreciation."
He lowered his head, ashamed, and said, "Wood Spirit Village is remote and weak. These... are the best things our village has. Please don't blame us, senior!"
He was genuinely anxious.
After all, even though they gave their all...
For Senior Li, it's not even as good as a blade of grass by the roadside.
If Senior Li thinks that Wood Spirit Village is being disrespectful, then... it's all over!
As he spoke, he opened the brocade box.
Li Fan was also somewhat surprised when he looked over and saw that they were actually some agricultural products!
A pumpkin.
A small bag of rice.
Two Corn Cob.
There are still two small bottles of wine left!
All the gifts are here, but at this moment, Mu Rantian and the other two are blushing with shame!
This is already the most precious thing in Wood Spirit Village.
Yuan Sheng melon, Kui Shen rice, Xuan Sheng Corn... all are Desolate-grade sacred medicines!
However, this mere medicinal herb might have some value in the outside world, but in this Small Mountain Village... it's probably only good for feeding chickens and pigs!
After all, they have no shortage of miracle drugs here!
Li Fan was also taken aback when he saw these agricultural products.
At first glance, these agricultural products... don't seem to be very good.
The pumpkin was truly misshapen and cracked...
The Corn Cob were shriveled beyond recognition, and the rice grains looked like old, stale grains...
Those two small jugs of wine, given Li Fan's expertise in brewing, certainly wouldn't suffice...
But is this the best thing Wood Spirit Village has?
Li Fan immediately understood: this Wood Spirit Village... is in a terrible state!
The planting techniques are definitely inadequate!
The crops we grow are all so weak...
How much suffering the villagers must be enduring!
A pang of sympathy welled up in Li Fan's heart. After all, life was truly difficult for rural people if they couldn't grow crops well.
He immediately said:
Thank you!
"Mr. Li is very pleased with this gift."
He waved his hand, and Gongya and Wu Dade immediately stepped forward and accepted the gifts.
Upon hearing this, Mu Rantian and the other two were overjoyed!
These are such distinguished guests... I love their gifts!
"I knew it! I knew that these seniors don't care about the gifts, they care about our attitude!"
Mu Rantian was extremely fortunate!
My choice was right!
After accepting the gift, Li Fan said:
"Li lives in a poor mountain village and has nothing else, but he is able to make a living by farming. Nan Feng, go and get some millet."
Nan Feng immediately got up and soon brought back a bag of millet!
Li Fan's rice is plump and round like pearls!
He said:
"These are a return gift."
As he spoke, he handed the millet to Mu Wanqing.
Mu Wanqing was instantly stunned.
She was trembling slightly.
Looking at that bag of millet...
She was stunned and shocked.
Because each grain of rice radiates unparalleled brilliance.
The Spiritual Qi was extremely dense, and faintly, Spiritual Qi even transformed into many ethereal auspicious beasts dancing.
My God, is this a miracle drug?
She couldn't believe it!
Moreover, these precious Spirit Plant plants were actually given to us?
This can't be a dream, right...?
Both Mu Rantian and Mu Nanshan were completely stunned.
Mu Rantian was startled and hurriedly said:
"Senior, we... we can't accept this!"
This is so precious!
Even a single grain appearing in the Great Wilderness would cause a frenzy of fighting over it.
One bag... If the outside world finds out, Wood Spirit Village might be wiped out overnight!
Treasures can sometimes be calamities.
Especially treasures like this.
Even the top dynasties in the Great Ruin Realm probably don't have the qualifications to possess it!
Wood Spirit Village... We dare not accept it!
Li Fan sighed inwardly. These farmers really seemed to have never seen the world before!
The farming techniques in this world seem incredibly outdated!
"It's alright, take it. It's nothing special."
Li Fan spoke first, then smiled and said, "It's only polite to reciprocate. You wouldn't want me Li Fan, to be the one who's impolite, would you?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Rantian and the others were all taken aback.
They were trying to decipher the meaning behind Senior Li's words!
"It is impolite not to reciprocate. Could it be that this bag of divine rice involves cause and effect?"
Mu Nanshan murmured.
"Senior Li has bestowed such a generous gift... How could we refuse it... To refuse would be disrespectful to him!"
Mu Rantian realized what was happening and broke out in a cold sweat. He then bowed and said:
"Senior, we are foolish, please forgive us!"
"We'll accept this rice!"
Mu Wanqing, trembling, accepted the rice that Li Fan handed her.
"Thank you, senior!"
They spoke up!
Li Fan then smiled and nodded, saying:
"Dade, please see these people out."
Wu Dade said:
"Yes, Master."
Mu Rantian and the others immediately rose to take their leave, showing great respect.
After they left.
"Master, these things..."
Gongya spoke, looking at the Corn Cob in her hand, unsure what to do.
This can't be used for cooking.
"Hmm..."
Li Fan asked, "Feed the chickens?"
But upon hearing this, the chickens over there immediately started clucking loudly, as if in protest!
Li Fan: "..."
"Never mind, let's send it to Uncle Zhang. I remember that Big Black Ox has a good appetite. It wouldn't be good to waste it after all the trouble they went to bring it here."
Gongya immediately said:
"Yes, sir!"
Wu Dade, Mu Rantian, and the others walked out of the Small Mountain Village.
"Young Master, Senior Li has shown us Dade; we truly do not know how to repay him!"
Mu Rantian spoke hesitantly.
This is such a profound act of kindness!
Even their Wood Spirit Village... might not be able to repay it at all!
Wu Dade grinned and said:
"Grandpa, you don't need to think too much about it."
"This rice is really useless; if we can't finish it, we'll just feed it to the chickens..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Rantian and the other two fell into a deep silence.
This divine rice...
Feeding the chickens?
So, does that mean the Corn and other feed they sent aren't even qualified to be used to feed the chickens?
All three of them felt their self-esteem was crumbling!
And at this moment, they finally left the Small Mountain Village.
Just saved.
Suddenly, not far ahead...
A chilling wind swept in!
The group's expressions changed, and they looked up to see that a huge locust tree had appeared in front of them!
The locust tree was covered with the corpses of infants.
The locust tree, like an old man, walked step by step toward the Small Mountain Village, exuding Sha Qi!
