Chapter 460: A Replenishing Soup. An Uninvited Guest
The crowd went up the mountain.
It did not take long before they arrived before the four-part architecture.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Mr. Li, we’re here.”
“Daji’s back.”
Li Nianfan walked to the door and with a ‘click’, the door was opened.
“Wow, everyone’s here. Welcome. Please, come on in.” Li Nianfan had a smile on as he invited the guests inside.
Upon stepping into the four-part architecture, the Jade Emperor and Empress jolted. Their hearts were thumping rapidly. They were instantly nervous.
Although they had heard from Yang Jing about the upgrades here, they only realized how high-end it was when they experienced it in person!
Chaos Spiritual Qi, a yard full of Chaos Spiritual Qi!
A breath in here made the body so much lighter. One felt refreshed. Even the Qi in the body became active. One could feel all the energy in the body recovering.
Even the air in here was equivalent to the air in the most divine places! The Heavenly Temple was nothing close to this!
How they wished they could come over to the expert’s house often. For no other reason than to breathe the air in here! What a gain!
As for Mosquito Taoist, it was her first time here. The moment she walked through the door, her body jolted, her mind blanked. She was dumbfounded.
Luckily, she had a black robe on. Nobody could see her extremely shocked face.
This…this…
This was the world of a bigshot?
Too terrifying!
At this moment, she felt the pores all over her body opening up. Her cells were jumping in joy. This was her instinctive reaction.
Because…it was an honor to be able to stay in this high-end surrounding!
She felt like an ordinary person who just arrived at the Heavenly Temple, breathing in the Immortal Qi…
“Phew!”
She quickly calmed down her heart. Her tiny hands under her robe clenched into fists.
Keep calm, keep calm.
She could not help looking at the peaceful Qiongqi. She pitied it.
‘What a loss! You died one moment too early!
‘If you could hold up a little longer, you could’ve breathed some Chaos Spiritual Qi and you’ll die with no regret!’
Yang Jing placed down the Qiongqi that was over his shoulder. He said, “Lord Saint, we brought you this.”
“This is…”
Li Nianfan looked at it. Instantly, his eyes lit up. “Qiongqi?!”
“Oh wow! You managed to find Qiongqi! Not bad! Not bad at all!” Li Nianfan nodded. He was very satisfied and surprised.
How powerful! They managed to hunt down the Natural Beast from ‘Classics of Mountains and Seas’. He would be able to taste it in no time. He might start planning how to enjoy this.
Seeing that Li Nianfan was satisfied, the Jade Emperor smiled. He said, “We coincidentally bumped into it. So we brought it over. Glad that Lord Saint likes it.”
“You’re all so thoughtful. Right. I haven’t congratulated you all for winning the battle. It wasn’t easy, right?” Li Nianfan could tell that this group of Immortals just came out from the battle. They looked pale. He made a gesture and said in a solemn tone, “Really, you’ve worked hard. Thank you, thank you.”
The Empress dared not accept his thanks. She quickly said, “Lord Saint’s being humble. We were just doing what we should be doing. It’s nothing.”
The Jade Emperor quickly said, “Yeah, just a small matter. Not to be mentioned.”
‘You’re the one who should be thanked, no? You not only saved the world, you even saved us!’
“Ha-ha-ha, you’re all too humble. This is a big matter, I can tell from the Deluxe Merits.” Li Nianfan laughed and said with a hurried tone, “Hurry up and get ready.”
The crowd was excited. They knew what the expert meant. They quickly took out their weapons and waited patiently.
“Deluxe Merit…is ready!”
Li Nianfan made a gesture, and an ocean of Deluxe Merit gathered into a golden river, rushing toward them.
Although the Deluxe Merit was shared by all of them, each of them received the most they had ever received. After all, this was a big matter, so they received more Deluxe Merits than before.
When that happened, everyone grinned. They respected the expert more than ever.
The expert not only led them well, he even gave them dividends! They did not deserve this! They did not deserve this!
“Right, other than the Deluxe Merits, I’ve also prepared something to welcome you all.”
Li Nianfan waved at Xiao Bai. “Xiao Bai, hurry and scoop them some Goji Red Dates Soup.”
Xiao Bai agreed, “Yes, my master.”
The bloody sky was replaced by a rainbow. Li Nianfan guessed that Daji and the rest had won. Therefore, he prepared some Goji Red Dates Soup to welcome them back home and replenish them.
There were more of them than he had anticipated, but luckily, he prepared some extras. It was not a big deal.
Goji?
The crowd jolted. They remembered this thing well.
This was good stuff! A very nourishing food!
Back in the Kunpeng Soup, there were Gojis in it. The effect was stunning!
It did not take long before Xiao Bai walked over with a tray in hand. On the tray, there were green bowls of Goji Red Dates Soup. Each of them had a bowl.
“Everyone, enjoy.”
“Thank you, Xiao Bai.”
The Jade Emperor and the rest thanked it. They all focused on the bowl.
Inside the bowls were clear soup, red dates, snow fungus, and some gojis on top.
Due to the red dates, the soup was slightly red but still very clear.
Daji used a spoon to scoop the snow fungus. She was curious.
“Mr. Li, this…is snow fungus?”
None of them had heard about this.
“Indeed, this is good stuff.” Li Nianfan smiled. He explained, “The snow fungus grows under saprophytic conditions. Usually, when rotten wood is drenched by the rain, there’ll be water in there. With some sunlight, the snow fungus would grow. I managed to grow some recently.
“Look, the wood’s still by the corner.”
The crowd looked at where Li Nianfan pointed at. There was indeed some wood laid out in order. Just as he said, the woods were rotten. In the middle, there was some snow fungus.
Unfortunately…these were Chaos Spiritual Roots!
The expert made these Chaos Spiritual Root rot and then used them to grow some snow fungus?
How extra!
How heartbreaking.
The crowd quietly looked away. They looked at the snow fungus in the bowl.
The snow fungus was half-transparent. There were some wrinkles in the middle, soaking in the soup. It opened up on both sides, giving a sense of delicateness. One could not help but want to taste it.
Without further ado, all of them parted their lips impatiently.
Instantly, the snow fungus was like tiny fish, sliding into their mouths. It was so delicate as it danced in their mouths as if it was alive.
Upon touching the tongue, one felt how soft and comfortable it was. Covered in the soup, it overwhelmed one’s taste bud.
Without having to chew, with just a gentle swallow, the delicate snow fungus rushed into their throats. This delicate feeling went straight from the mouth to the stomach. The places it touched upon felt as if they were being massaged. It felt strangely satisfying and relaxing.
“Nice! Very nice!”
Mosquito Taoist took a small sip and her small body could not help trembling. It felt like the pleasure of bathing in a hot spring. Furthermore, there were red dates in the soup. It gave her more pleasure than sucking blood!
“This red date…is more delicious than any blood!”
She could not control herself anymore. She raised the bowl and started gulping the soup right into her mouth. She could not help moaning as if she was a dried-out desert receiving the replenishing rainwater. How pleasurable!
Other than the taste, there was strange energy spreading within them. It was as if all of the fatigue from the battle earlier had been wiped clean. All of their wounds instantly healed.
On the way here, she had heard them discussing the expert. Especially when they talked about the Kunpeng Soup, she was astonished.
She was still suspicious at first because this was all too unbelievable. This was way beyond one’s imagination!
However, she now found out that everything about the expert was way beyond her imagination!
Whether it was the taste of this soup or the benefits of it, it was way beyond this world! It was made of Chaos Spiritual Water and Chaos Spiritual Root!
‘I had the pleasure of tasting this bowl of soup! Life’s complete!’
The Jade Emperor was drinking the soup. He was excited, too.
‘The expert knew that we were hurt in the battle. He intentionally prepared this soup to reward us!
‘The expert’s like the glow of the moon. We’re not even like ants to him and yet he treats us so well! We’re so…guilty!’
With that in mind, the warmth in their hearts rushed to their eyes. Their eyes were moist. They were very touched.
‘Being able to work for the expert is the greatest blessing of our lives! If there’s anything you need in the future, even if you want us dead, we’ll do as you say!’
Seeing that the crowd was finishing their soup, he smiled and asked, “What do you all think about this soup?”
The Jade Emperor did not hesitate to say, “The taste is delicate and sweet. A very good soup!”
The Empress said sincerely, “Lord Saint’s cooking skills are very impressive! Thank you for the treat!”
Li Nianfan waved it off. He said, “All I can do is cook. Moreover, it’s only a bowl of soup. You all brought me Qiongqi, I should be the one thanking you all!”
“It’s a small matter, don’t be so humble,” Yang Jing said with a serious tone. “We’ll lookout for the rest of the beasts in ‘Classics of Mountains and Seas’. We won’t let you down.”
Li Nianfan nodded. “That’d be great. Don’t insist, though. Just let it be, thank you.”
After chatting for a little longer, the Jade Emperor and the rest stood up and left. They rushed back to the Heavenly Temple and gathered all of the Gods to find the rest of the beasts. This had become the most important mission of the Heavenly Palace!
How rare it was for the expert to have a request. If they could not do this well, they would be so ashamed!
…
At the same time. Somewhere beyond Outer Space.
An elder walked out of the Chaos. His eyes were like stars as he looked in the direction of the Eldritch World. He said, “This is the world, here I come!”
