Chapter 278: I Am Not Worthy as Dirt

“A bucket will be… Huh? A bucket?!” Taoist Xinghe widened his eyes at Li Nianfan. He could not believe his ears.

Li Nianfan nodded, “Yeah. Mainly because the growth serum’s too hard to make and the ingredients are hard to get, too. So, I have to use it sparingly. Limited stuff is precious, after all.”

The bucket of growth serum was awarded to him by the System. If he made it himself, he would need a lot of equipment. Moreover, it was a tedious process. Li Nianfan did not plan to invest in science in the Immortal Realm. He simply forgot about it.

‘Ha, you could make it?’

‘But you didn’t because it’s hard to make?’

‘Is that how a bigshot usually speaks? Sorry, I’m not used to it.’

Everyone lost their ability to think. They were stunned by how cool he was.

‘Can Saints create a serum like that?’

‘No, wait, can serums speed up the process of a Heavenly Spiritual Plant?’

More importantly, the seed was an extraordinary Heavenly Spiritual Plant. It was a holy seed.

They were not Saints, so they could not understand how powerful a Saint was. However, it would be difficult for a Saint to do so.

Li Nianfan looked at the sprout of the seed. He instantly laughed. “That’s better, much faster.”

He looked at the gla.s.s container at hand that had very little serum left. He was too lazy to bring it back. He walked over to a nearby tree and poured out the remaining serum.

The little tree had a strong stem. The leaves were green and glistening. It looked like it was growing neatly. It was a kind of decorative tree.

It would look good when it was fully grown. It would be decorative for the backyard.

The liquid was instantly absorbed by the little tree. The branches moved with the wind. The leaves were instantly brighter.

An indescribable aura appeared and everyone noticed it.

It seemed like the realm was starting to change again.

No one was sure what it was. However, they felt it. The Immortal Qi of the backyard was more intense.

They stared at the little tree in a daze. They suddenly wanted to wors.h.i.+p it.

“Alright. I’m done. Time to go.”

Li Nianfan pulled them back to reality with his voice. They instantly snapped out of it. They were sweating.

They all looked at that small tree anxiously and tried to conceal their shock.

‘Heavenly Spiritual Plant? Or more than that?’

They could not imagine what it was, but they knew they could not mess with it.

They watched Li Nianfan return to the yard. Everyone took a final look at the backyard then slowly followed Li Nianfan.

They looked at the Five-Color-Sacred Cow. Urchin was envious and jealous of the cow.

He whispered in a low voice, “If I could, I’m willing to be that cow in the backyard. It gets to stay in paradise just by producing milk. How lucky.”

Xiao Chengfeng whispered back, “If I could, I’d be one of the little bees. They can stay here and collect honey from Spiritual Plants.”

Taoist Xinghe said, “I’ll be a Spiritual Herb here. I’d be happy to be a blade of gra.s.s.”

They started to argue about the ridiculous topic.

“I’m willing to be a leaf here.”

“I’m willing to be a drop of water here.”

“I’m willing to be the dirt here!”

Suddenly, the Fire Phoenix chimed in. She sneered, “Look at the dirt beneath your feet. Are you even worthy?”

Urchin and the others were slightly taken aback. They looked at the reddish-brown dirt under their feet.

They noticed that the dirt was equally spread. It did not feel dirty at all. The dirt would not cling to their feet because it had no interest in doing so.

Urchin picked up some dirt.

“So heavy!”

He picked up a small pinch of dirt. He almost could not lift it. He was a Dragon, he was not a weakling.

Such scary dirt!

The dirt was filled with the Power of Weight and the Power of Life!

He smiled awkwardly and put down the dirt. “Dirt, sorry for the disturbance. I’m not worthy.”

Taoist Xinghe asked in his most seductive voice, “G.o.ddess Fire Phoenix, can I pack some dirt back?”

The Fire Phoenix smiled. “I want to find out, too. You can try to pack it and take it away.”

Xiao Chengfeng gulped. “G.o.ddess Fire Phoenix, can the dirt…be eaten?”

Soon, they were out of the backyard.

Urchin watched the backyard door close slowly. He felt sentimental. “Ancestor, you’re living in such bliss!”

Then, he looked at his oblivious and ungrateful daughter. He said, “Dragin, this backyard is a marvelous place. It’s a great honor to be working for the expert. Go play in the backyard more when you can.”

“What’s so fun about the backyard?” pouted Dragin. “I have to chop wood and carry buckets of water every day in the backyard. So tiring.”

Urchin stopped breathing. He almost died from depression right there. He pursed his lips and stopped talking.

‘That’s not a sentence from someone with a conscience!’

Xiao Chengfeng knew it was time to say goodbye. He said, “Mr. Li, we’ve disturbed you long enough. We should go now.”

“Yeah, Mr. Li. Thanks for the hospitality,” said Urchin.

“Mr. Li, this is my first visit. I didn’t prepare anything. Please, don’t mind my small token of appreciation.”

Taoist Xinghe was feeling awkward. He remembered when he thought the gift from the Seventh Princess was too luxurious. Now, he thought it might be too cheap for the expert.

He felt like he had just visited a billionaire and ate shark fin and abalones, but only repaying him with a carton of eggs.

Sigh, it was his first time feeling like he was unprepared.

He took out the silver needles.

Li Nianfan was surprised. “These are…needles?”

He took it from Taoist Xinghe and looked at it curiously.

The needles were silver and s.h.i.+ny. They looked exactly like the silver needles from his past realm. Nice-looking needles.

There were thirty identical needles in total, the length of two palms. It was more like a craft project, very well-made and refined.

The needles made Li Nianfan miss his past life. He used needles like that to croquet.

Another polite cultivator.

He smiled and said, “You are so courteous. I don’t need things like visiting gifts.”

Taoist Xinghe thought Li Nianfan was unimpressed. He immediately went pale and was extremely nervous. He said in a trembling voice, “Mr. Li, this is my sincerity. Please, don’t mind it.”

“Alright, thanks. The needles are very useful to me.” Li Nianfan accepted the needles.

He suddenly remembered.

He did not know how to sew, but he could use the needles as barbeque sticks!

How did he forget? Barbeque was super delicious. Would it not be nice to make barbeque lamb sticks?

“Good, good.” Taoist Xinghe sighed in relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

No one would believe that he had cold sweat because he felt troubled giving away an Ultimate Spiritual Treasure.

Going along with a bigshot was like going along with a tiger.

The others could tell that was an Ultimate Spiritual Treasure, the Cloud Needles.

Each needle could easily destroy the defense of an Immortal. Thirty needles were very horrifying. It would be unstoppable. More importantly, the needles could be merged into one for a stronger attack. The attack was as good as a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure!

However, it was indeed too cheap.

The expert simply gave Daji the bracelet which was a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. What about it?

Everyone shook their heads. They felt like they were being too arrogant thinking that the Ultimate Spiritual Treasure was not good enough for them.

Taoist Xinghe said, “Mr. Li, I should be going, too.”

Li Nianfan nodded and said, “Yeah. Goodbye, fellas.”

They walked out of the four-part architecture. Urchin was still emotional.

They thought about being a guest at the house of a bigshot. They felt hot and thought it was dreamy.

Especially everything in the backyard. Every item in the backyard was a treasure from the eldritch eras. More importantly… The items were too extraordinary. It turned their worlds upside down.

Urchin said, “The expert’s on a whole new level, it’s unimaginable. He could magically revive things, whatever. But he could also turn magical things into miracles. So horrifying.”

“Well, duh?” Xiao Chengfeng glanced at him judgmentally. He laughed and exclaimed, “Let me ask you this. If the expert couldn’t do that, how could he recreate a scene from the eldritch eras?”

Taoist Xinghe exclaimed, “Yeah. The glory of the eldritch eras can’t be easily recreated. He can change realms!”

He was in awe. He was mostly excited.

If the expert could recreate the eldritch eras, there would be a sky full of stars, glorious palaces, endless fields, endless Immortal Qi, and endless treasures…

So beautiful, so majestic.

‘Stop thinking about it or I’ll cry.’

It was easy to destroy things. However…recreation was difficult. Too difficult!

Destruction and recreation were two different things, they were not on the same level.

Urchin nodded and exclaimed, “Only the expert could do that!”

Xiao Chengfeng looked cold. He said in a determined voice, “It’s the expert’s choice. We can’t do much to help him. But if anyone dared to stop him, I’ll kill them with my sword!”

Taoist Xinghe sighed and said, “Too bad we know too little about the eldritch eras. Otherwise, we could help the expert more.”

Urchin said, “The Seventh Princess would know. You can ask her.”

Taoist Xinghe rolled his eyes. He said, “This is one of her taboos. How can I ask?”

Xiao Chengfeng suddenly asked, “Cultivator Urchin, isn’t your ancestor alive? You could ask your ancestor.”

“How did you know?” Urchin looked at Xiao Chengfeng with shock. Then, he sighed and said, “Dragin told you? That kiddo’s so unreliable!”

Xiao Chengfeng silently looked at him. He calmly said, “That Five-Color-Sacred Cow told me so.”

Urchin was baffled. “Oh? Really… I see.”

Taoist Xinghe was weirded out by the side. “Your ancestor? The old Dragon King?”

“Yeah. Seems like I can’t hide it anymore. This is the biggest secret of the Dragons so please, don’t tell anyone that my ancestor’s still alive!”

Urchin said in a mysterious voice, “Also… My ancestor’s living in the expert’s backyard.”

Gasp—

Taoist Xinghe twitched. He was not shocked that the old Dragon King was alive. Instead, he was shocked that the old Dragon King lived in the expert’s backyard.

He twitched for a while and slowly got a grip of himself. He said in a jealous voice, “What a breakthrough, what a huge opportunity! Your ancestor’s so freaking lucky. I’m so envious.”

“Sigh, I feel the same way, too!”

Urchin was slightly sad. His ancestor and his child had such breakthroughs while he was caught in the middle. What a miserable situation.

He reminded them, “My ancestor doesn’t want to be found out. Please, keep it a secret.”

“Don’t worry, my lips are sealed,” Taoist Xinghe nodded and smiled. Then, he flew away. “Today’s too important. I have to report everything to the Seventh Princess. She’d freak out if she knew the expert plans to recreate the eldritch eras. Goodbye, cultivators!”

“Goodbye!”
