Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 165: Destruction and Rebirth
Li Nianfan and Daji sat down.
Shortly thereafter, a plate full of Soup Dumpling and two bowls of Tofu Pudding were brought to the table. The fragrance swept across their faces and soared into the air, making one feel hungry.
Nyams!
Bite Soup Dumpling with a mouthful of Tofu Pudding instantly warms the body while eliminating the morning cold that is a relief.
Meanwhile, the owner brought a few more dishes to the table. There are some cooked eggs and other light dishes. He smiled and said, “Master Li, I treat! “
Li Nianfan could not help but smile. “Bos, you're too good!”
The owner immediately said, “How can you say that? My business is growing because of you! Hope you will come and visit me more so that I can learn more from you. Maybe my son can become a cultured man and bring glory to the family! “
“Ha ha ha! Sure!” Li Nianfan laughed. He asked in a curious tone, “Bos, I heard people talking about lightning. Did something happen? ”
“Pak. Li, don't you know? ” the owner jerks. He then continued, “Last night, lightning struck the old tree near the gate of the Fallen Eternal City, cutting it in half!”
Li Nianfan frowned.
The owner sighed and continued, “The old tree has been here for generations. I remember climbing trees when I was young. Who would have thought that lightning would cut a tree in half! The person who witnessed it said that the lightning was as thick as a bowl opening. How rare! “
Li Nianfan asked, “Is that an old tree near the east gate?”
The owner said, “Ya! However, I find it strange how the old tree fell down without crushing anyone even though the trunk is so thick! It didn't even destroy the building at all! Some people say that this old tree has a spirit in it! “
“Bos, do you have alcohol?” Li Nianfan asked suddenly.
“Yes, Mr. Li. A minute.”
After a while, the owner quietly took out a bottle of wine from the bottom of his stall. “My specials. I take a sip or two occasionally. Keep it. However, it is not healthy to drink it in the morning. “
Li Nianfan smiled. “I know. Thank you for telling me. “
“Not what.” Owner smiled.
Li Nianfan wiped his mouth. “Daji, are you full?”
Daji. Li Nianfan put some silver on the table and stood up. “Come go.”
Not long after, the owner called them. “Mr Li, your silver. “
“No, your silver!” Li Nianfan replied with a cry. He's in a good mood. He held a bottle of wine in his hand as he walked towards the east gate.
Daji asked, “Master Li will see the old tree? “
“Ya.” Li Nianfan nodded.
“The tree is old enough. I was impressed the first time I saw him. Who can see this coming? ”
They crossed a long road and crossed a bridge across the market.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the eastern side of the city.
Most of them are parents and children.
“This tree is over a thousand years old. It's been here since my great-grandfather. “
“Sigh, what a pity. From so many places, lightning struck this old tree. “
“Do you know that there has been so much thunder and lightning lately? My son is traveling on business and he said there have been lightning incidents in many places recently, especially in mountainous areas. Even though there were no clouds in the sky, you could still hear a rumbling sound! “
Li Nianfan stood to the side, listening to the conversation as he observed the giant old tree.
The roots of the old tree have grown from deep in the ground, growing along uneven ground and forming network-like pathways under the feet of the community. The tree trunk is very thick. It seemed like it would take at least ten adults to bring it.
The most amazing part of it all is how the thick stem splits vertically. Both sides of the tree trunk fell in two different directions, blocking the path. There was also a burn mark in the middle of the trunk.
One could tell from the remains how majestic the old tree was.
Li Nianfan inevitably reached out to touch the fallen trunk. It had a rough texture with detailed veins. It was as if he was tracing his old age.
He looked around and his eyes were fixed somewhere. In the middle of the burning place, a new seedling had sprouted. It drew attention to the burning passage, hinting at the coexistence between destruction and rebirth.
Li Nianfan immediately smiled happily.
“Old tree, if you have a spirit in you, let me toast to you! I hope you will rise again and accept a new life! ” Li Nianfan took a sip of his wine then tilted his bottle, pouring the wine into his roots.
Being in the Eternal Realm, Li Nianfan did not feel strange if the tree developed a spirit from cultivation. Regardless of whether it had a spirit in it or not, it gained the respect to protect the city from the wind and rain for so many years, and its death did not harm anyone!
As Li Nianfan was ready to leave, a familiar voice sounded. “Master Li? ”
Li Nianfan stopped. “Fish kiosk owner?”
The man was indeed a fishmonger from a fish stall!
Li Nianfan smiled. “Not sell fish in your stall today? I was thinking of buying two fish from you! “
“I came here to look around. If Mr. Li wants to buy fish, follow me. ” The fishmonger is in a good mood today. He smiled and said, “Now that the demons in Clear Moon Lake have been killed, I have all kinds of fish now. I'm sure you'll be satisfied. ”
“Hah?” Li Nianfan was shocked. “The devil has been killed?”
“Yes! Let me tell you something, I was almost eaten by the devil! ” said the fishmonger, his face reddened with excitement. “Satan is very scary, far beyond your imagination! It was an abalone larger than a human! It opened its mouth and almost sucked me all over. How horrible! I was lucky to have found some cultivators descending from above. They saved my life when I was only a split second away from death! You have no idea how dangerous it is. I am at zero point one centimeter from Abalone Demon! ”
The fishmonger gestured with his hand as he described his experience.
Li Nianfan smiled without speaking.
Abalone Demon's?
Wasn't that the abalone that Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu brought the other day?
He looked at the fishmonger strangely as he thought, ‘You were almost eaten by Abalone Demon. I ate the Abalone Demon! You wouldn't believe me even if I told you. ‘
