In a four-part building.
Li Nianfan held a Chinese ceramic cup with tea in it. He used the lid of the cup to push the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea. Then, he gently blew on it before taking a sip.
He said sentimentally, “The best thing is to drink hot tea during the winter. Goodbye popsicles and soda.”
Of course, that did not apply to the two boys, Nanan and Dragin. They happily suck on their popsicles.
Suddenly, Dragin seemed to remember something. He said, “Brother, the pumpkin plant in the backyard grows another pumpkin.”
“Oh really?”
Li Nianfan put down his teacup and walked into the backyard.
“It really grows!” He grins. He approached her and saw a golden gourd hanging on the vine.
The golden glow reflected in the sunlight. It was almost the same size as the Purple Gold Pumpkin hanging on his waist. However, their appearance is different. The Golden Pumpkin looks fantastic. It looked like an accessory made of pure gold.
Li Nianfan took it and held it in his hand. He felt like there was no burden.
“These pumpkin seeds are amazing at growing pumpkins. I wonder if it is some kind of extraordinary Spiritual Plant. ”
Li Nianfan suddenly thought. “This is the seed given to me by Goddess Gu. It makes sense that the pumpkin is amazing. Looks cool, but maybe not that strong.”
Li Nianfan returned to the four-part building. He wondered what he could do with the Golden Pumpkin.
Crunched.
The four-part building door opens.
Daji and Fire Phoenix entered quietly.
Li Nianfan had to laugh. “You two. Sneaking out to play outside this early?”
“Hehe, we brought you something.”
Daji smiled beautifully. Then, he raised his hand and came out a golden stone. He gave it to Li Nianfan.
“Gold?” Li Nianfan was slightly surprised. He took the stone and examined it in his hand.
“It's quite heavy. Denser than gold!” Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows and turned the stone in his hand. He watched her closely in the sunlight.
The surface of the stone is very smooth. There is no sharp edge but neither is it. The edges are slightly crooked and uneven. However, it's not fucked. That's pretty good to see.
Li Nianfan asked curiously, “Where did you get this from?”
Daji replied, “It looks interesting so we traded it for someone.”
“This is interesting. I do not know if this stone is natural or man-made.” Li Nianfan smiled and nodded. “This is very interesting.”
He put away the stone and said, “Daji, I noticed that ever since you started cultivating, you can't stay silent anymore.”
The spurs blushed a little. She replied timidly, “I just want to do more things that will cheer you up.”
“Haha, that's natural. I myself also can not stay silent.” Li Nianfan laughed. “Nobody likes to stay in the same place once they are able to. It would be very bad if we stayed here in a four-piece building. ”
Transportation in the Eternal Realm was less developed and dangerous. Before, he was an ordinary man so he could only stay in one place. He only moved around the four-piece building, Clear Moon Lake, and Fallen Town. However, he was one of the people with the cloud vehicles right now, so he obviously could not stay silent.
By the way, Li Nianfan feels blessed to have a Deluxe Merit Flesh. Otherwise, Daji will be forced to live with him in his tiny four-part building. He felt it would be wrong.
Daji hurriedly said, “The four-part architecture is the best place in the whole world. I'm willing to stay here until I die. I will be happy to do it!”
He sounds very sincere and honest.
Dragin and Nanan jump. They thought Li Nianfan was going to kick him out. They cried and ran to embrace her feet. “We also. Brother's four-part architecture is a hundred times better than anywhere else in the world! We won't just come out again!”
“Omong empty silly what.” Li Nianfan entertained. He was touched too. He scratched their noses and said with a smile, “How can our small four-part building compare to the vast realm? Even a canary will be depressed when trapped in a cage, right?”
He stood up and continued, “Actually, I can't keep quiet either. How about we go for a walk together?”
He felt like an ordinary person with a car. If an ordinary person did not own a car, they would only stick to one place. However, once they do, it will be easier to get around visiting various places. How could he remain silent?
“Exit? Really?!”
Nanan and Dragin were instantly energetic again. They smiled broadly.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Let me think about where we should go.”
He had always been waiting for guests to visit him in the past. Now, he can go visit them. At that moment, he realized the importance of connection. He can go to many places if he has the right connections. He could also go visit an old friend.
He did not want to go to the Goldfish Palace because he had already visited him recently. The Ganlong Eternal Dynasty was too close. He still had the Linxian Palace, Azure Ville, or Xia Kingdom.
“Oh yes, let's go to Xia Kingdom! Let's take a spontaneous trip. ”
Li Nianfan had a spark in his eyes. “Let's see how Zhou Yunwu handles this country. And Meng Junliang as well. Didn't he open the school? I have to check it!”
Moreover, the Xia Kingdom was a human kingdom. Li Nianfan was more familiar with the locals.
Dragin and Nanan did not care where they went. They nodded without thinking twice. “All right.”
Daji also smiled and said, “All is up to you.”
“Come go then.” Li Nianfan started to form clouds with his Deluxe Merit Light. “Come aboard. Up to my clouds, let's fly.”
The golden clouds drifted away from the four-part building and beamed towards the horizon.
Li Nianfan naturally could not persecute his close friends. The golden cloud is as big as a house. Everyone could lie on it and there was still enough space.
He can do whatever he wants because he has a Deluxe Merit.
Li Nianfan has an idea in the cloud. He smiled and asked, “Daji, you gave me a golden stone. I have a Gold Pumpkin here. That must be destiny. Do you like this pumpkin?”
Daji stared at the Golden Pumpkin. She's amazed. He could feel how important the gourd was. He replied, “I do.”
Li Nianfan smiled. “As long as you like it, it's yours.”
“It...” Daji surprised. He took the gourd and said in a touched tone, “Thank you—thank you.”
She has pretty eyes. They squinted because they smiled. She suddenly looked much softer and feminine. Li Nianfan instantly felt his heart thump.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Why is it so polite?”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “Alright. Since we're bored, how about we play the game I just created?”
Li Nianfan took out a stack of wooden cards. The wooden card was thin and smooth. It is not made of hard wood. Instead, it is soft and bendable. It feels good to touch.
Everyone knew Li Nianfan was working on it for the past few days. But they don't know what he's doing. They think it's amazing.
He looked at the wooden cards and noticed the strange patterns engraved on them. He doesn't understand at all.
Li Nianfan smiled and replied, “Poker, an easy game. You will learn it after one way.”
He felt helpless.
Li Nianfan never had a decent opponent when he played chess. Daji can accompany her but she is not good enough for him to take her seriously. It hurt for him so he had to create a new game. Therefore, the birth of Poker.
Due to the limited materials, making poker cards is much more complicated than making chess pieces. But he finally finished it.
Soon, the golden clouds were filled with funny laughter.
The cloud is neither fast nor slow. Half an hour had passed when they arrived at Xia Kingdom. Li Nianfan parked his clouds outside the city to avoid attention. Then, he walked into the city.
Xia Kingdom was completely different from the last time he visited. It was busier than before.
The last time Li Nianfan was in the Xia Kingdom, the entire city died of silence from the plague and war. People fled the city, and no one else entered the city at that time. Everyone looked desperate at the time.
The weather was cold but the crowd was still crowded. Moreover, you can tell from their gazes that they love their country very much. You can tell they are excited about the future of their conversation.
Soldiers stood along the city walls. However, there are only a few of them. They were on guard at a simple order. The cultivators flew from time to time in the sky. They were quite familiar with the Xia Kingdom.
Even the city door has been renovated. It looked luxurious with its doors wide open, guarded by a guard on each side. People can easily go to the city after some basic questions.
They're entering the city. The streets were crowded, and the sides of the streets were filled with stalls. It's crowded.
The crowd was different from Falling City. The stalls are not random. Most of them are shops. It was much more organized and neat. The streets are clean and easy to walk, probably because they have the type of person ‘manager kota’ is in charge of the streets.
Li Nianfan nodded continuously on the road. He should praise, “That Zhou Yunwu rules this place quite well.”
The Xia Kingdom made Li Nianfan feel like a big city in the Eternal Realm. It was crowded and successful.
Li Nianfan stopped. He looked interested as he said, “Zia Kingdom Bookstore? A bookstore in the Eternal Realm? I wonder what it's like.”
He smiled and walked to the bookstore.
The bookstore is not big. The owner of the bookstore was an elder with half-white hair. He was brushing his beard with his hands while reading a book. He lives a relaxed life.
He watched Li Nianfan and the others. He smiled and greeted them, “Welcome, everyone. May I know if you are interested in buying some books or reading them?”
Li Nianfan replied, “Just look around.”
He noticed that many people were reading books while sitting on the floor. They're obsessed.
The bookstore made Li Nianfan feel like a public library. He wondered if the owner could profit from this store.
Li Nianfan asked curiously, “Older, you let others read books for free. Aren't you worried that people will just read it without buying it? ”
“Haha, I'm not worried.”
The elder smiled and said, “Only the locals can stay here long enough to read. Now that the Xia Kingdom was bustling, there was a continuous crowd. They don't have time to spend all day reading here. Most of them can only buy my books. And I promise, anyone who reads my book will most likely be willing to pay for it.”
‘Who thought this was the business strategy of the elder? Free first, pay later. Extraordinary.’
Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows. “Very confident?”
“Of course. My books are of good quality!” The elder smiled. “You guys must be outsiders, right? Let me show you around. ”
The elder looked old but was very energetic. He showed Li Nianfan to the bookshelf.
There are many books repeating on the bookshelf. There's not much variety.
“Master, look at this one. ‘Journey to the West’, written by Wu Cheng’en, a cultured Immortal. How else could he write such an incredible story of Gods and Monsters?
“And this, ‘Classical Herbal Farmer heavenly’. This heavenly Farmer was a living Saint. He has saved many lives. If not for him, the Xia Kingdom would not have been this successful. It's gonna be a dead city now! Buy this book. It is useful and very valuable!”
“I don't need to introduce this one, ‘Six Secret Teachings Jiang’. Written by a legendary anonymous person. This is the key to our victory in the war. Buy these for the children to learn and they will become generals in the future!
“And this, ‘West Journey Record’ written by the military advisor of the Xia Kingdom. All his knowledge and knowledge is here. It's a good read.”
…
The elder was very proud of the books. He excitedly introduced them. Maybe he always introduced it to everyone who visited the store. He had a glint of admiration in his eyes.
Li Nianfan sighed in relief. He noticed that the books on the bookshelf were mostly related to himself. He retold those stories, and Meng Junliang probably shared a more subtle version based on his story. After all, Meng Junliang did as he was told. He did not give his name and used a nameless pen name. That's a good move.
The elder finally sighed and said, “These books saved Xia Kingdom. They save people! They are the foundation of our knowledge!”
Li Nianfan nodded in understanding. He exclaimed, “Older, nice speech.”
The elder added, “Do you want to buy some books, Sir? I can give you a discount.”
“Hah, no, thank you.” Li Nianfan shook his head.
The elder was immediately confused. He did not expect Li Nianfan to reject his offer.
He was dumbfounded when he said, “Master, it is a good moral to respect older people. I was very old, and my mouth was dry from speech. That's hard work on my part. You bother me if you don't buy some. ”
“Older, I was just kidding,” Li Nianfan laughed. He then said, “Give me a set of these books. I like to support original publications.”
“You are very generous and thoughtful, Sir! I know you're amazing at first sight!”
The elder was instantly energetic. He excitedly started packing the books.
Li Nianfan accepted the books as a souvenir. He's going to leave.
Suddenly, another elder entered. He said to the bookstore elder, “Pak Lin, the school is almost done. Let's go pick up our grandchildren!”
The bookstore owner smiled happily and said, “Let's go, let's go together.”
“Yo, someone bought a lot of books from you,” the elder's tease. Then, he looked at Li Nianfan and jumped up. He looked at Li Nianfan and the others who left the shop, completely confused.
The owner of the bookstore frowned. “Sun Old Man, what's wrong with you?”
“That's him. Therehewas. I'm sure it's him!”
Old Man Sun hurriedly rushed out. He looked and searched among the crowd.
“Who is he?”
“That's the heavenly Farmer! I'm sure it is. Back then, here, my son would be arrested for quarantine but I would not allow it. He's the one who showed up!” Old Man Sun was crying because of the emotion. He muttered, “He said he's not an Immortal. He's an ordinary person, but he's healing.he's healing!”.
“Are you sure you recognize the right person?”
Old Man Lin widened his eyes. He's goosebumps all over the body. He looked in the direction where Li Nianfan disappeared as if he was a frozen statue. He felt sorry and emotional. “I spoke with heavenly Farmer. I received money from a savior. Me... Gosh!”
