Double Flying Stones?
Li Nianfan turned his attention to the red stone. The appearance of this stone is indeed extraordinary. It was about the size of half a palm, red, oval-shaped, smooth, flat, with occasional flashes of light.
He could not help but take the stone from Qin Zhongshan's hands. The stone was as smooth as jade and instead of the usual coolness, there was warmth radiating from it. It also gives the illusion of plumpness. Li Nianfan suddenly wanted to rub it between his fingers.
“And who are you?” ask Li Nianfan.
“Sorry for not doing introductions first. I am Qin Zhongshan, father of Qin Chuyue and Qin Yun.”
‘So, their father personally came to express his gratitude with a gift. He really is the man of the world,’ thought Li Nianfan. He was slightly distracted by Qin Zhongshan's extreme courtesy.
Li Nianfan asked Fire Phoenix to serve tea only. He did not ask her to serve any fruit as he wanted to make it last as long as possible during their journey. Moreover, this was already Qin Zhongshan's second visit.
However, if he were to present his fruits now, it would be tantamount to admitting his previous indiscretions.
As for Shi Ye and the rest of the group, they looked at the Double Flying Stone with inner turmoil. The stone is very special. If the Sea of Suffering is likened to the sea of love then the stone is his loyal friend. The stone had been in the sea for thousands of years and there were only four stones in this world.
It doesn't take much to know how rare the stone is. After all, it was the number one priceless treasure of the Empath Sect.
Although, technically speaking, it was not a Spiritual Treasure. Its efficacy was very special, thus making it more valuable than Spiritual Treasures.
Up until now, the Sect had never given the Double Flying Stone to an outsider.
Qin Zhongshan's initial intention to carry the stone was as a reserve. He would give the stone only if Li Nianfan was really as strong as his children had described. However, he encountered an obstacle in how to judge Li Nianfan's strength.
It was only after he met Li Nianfan in person that he realized that he was overthinking the entire situation. No need to judge his actual strength — the simplest action is to give him the stone.
“A very special stone,” said Li Nianfan.
“A very beautiful stone,” said Daji.
“Master Li, this stone can also do other things. Indeed, this is a very useful thing to have, ” Qin Zhongshang said with a smile.
“Is that so? It's-it's complicated. ” Curiosity Li Nianfan piqued.
“As the name implies, the stone can fly. This is actually the stone of true love!” He stopped for effect. “The rock acts as an intermediary between lovers so that they can use spells with each other.”
Li Nianfan's heart skipped a beat and his eyes shone with a faint feeling of how this stone could be useful to him.
“How does it work?” She asked.
“It could save spells from one party and those spells could be released by the other party.”
“It can do that ?!” Li Nianfan clasped the stone tightly in his hand. To say he is happy is an understatement. He never expected the Empath Sect would surprise him with such a gift.
Spelling out a spell had always been a painful thing for Li Nianfan. He had always felt inferior with his own strength even though he was finally able to fly, got the protection of the Spirit Guards, and was skilled at anything else.
However, he could seriously level himself up with this stone. He could ask Daji and Fire Phoenix to keep their spells inside and he could release them whenever he wanted.
Give and take. Isn't that the purpose of all relationships?
This treasure must have been specially made for him. It perfectly corrected its flaws. His confidence increased only by knowing that the stone was in his hands, ready to be used anytime, anywhere.
In the blink of an eye, he had already decided on all the spells he wanted Fire Phoenix and Daji to keep inside the stone. His spell should be strong and admiring.
Of course, there's a warning. The couple must be completely in love to get the stone's approval.
However, Qin Zhongshan was not worried about Li Nianfan not getting the stone approval after how Qin Chuyue and the group described him. So, he doesn't talk much anymore.
“Does it really not require magic power to cast a spell?” Li Nianfan wanted to confirm.
“As long as the love is deep, the spell will be released as soon as you think about it,” Qin Zhongshan said.
Li Nianfan couldn't bear to part with the gift, so he thanked Qin Zhongshan profusely.
“Great! Absolutely lovely! I have to say this will be very useful for me. Therefore, I received this gift with all gratitude in my heart. Don't be a stranger. Drink tea.” Then he turned to Daji and said, “Little Haji, go and get us some snacks.”
There was a slight change in expression on Qin Chinyue's face.
“Master Li, forgive me for asking, but do you still have Lollipop? ”
“Oh, it almost crossed my mind that you liked Lollipop. Of course, there are some, ” Li Nianfan said.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief when they saw Li Nianfan's good mood. They secretly praised their Sect Master in their hearts.
They picked up the teacup in front of them and suddenly felt a burst of tea scent, which lifted their spirits. Their brain waves—which was originally dense—seems to be stimulated and they immediately start racing.
One after the other. They reach an excited state with a free flow of brain waves that causes them to believe that they can do anything.
“Hah?”
“This Tea ... brewed from Chaos Spiritual Root?”
Everyone looked at each other, their hearts racing. The hand that held the tea cup trembled faintly.
They did not see any fruit being served. They thought it was because the Chaos Spiritual Root was extremely valuable and the experts were unwilling to present it anymore, but they did not expect the tea to be brewed from the Chaos Spiritual Root as well.
Logically speaking, this kind of enlightenment tea would be much more valuable than ordinary Chaos Spiritual Root.
Suddenly, they were moved by mixed feelings.
‘The expert would definitely like us to try the Spiritual Root of Chaos differently from the last time.’ The thought appeared to them.
They're sure. If not for Li Nianfan's generosity, they would not have gotten the chance to consume the Chaos Spiritual Root, in any form, in this life.
First, they had the Chaos Spirit Fruit, and now, they tasted the Chaos Enlightenment Tea. They feel their life is complete and they can die happy.
‘The experts were very good to us,’ thought they were. Never in their lives did they expect to meet someone who would treat their guests with Root Spiritual Chaos. Giving a Double Flying Stone Gift would be worth it if it meant making the experts happy.
Qin Zhongshan came out from his shock and licked his dry lips. He hurriedly drank all the tea that he thought he had never drank in this life.
There was an astringent sensation in the first gulp and the aroma of the tea instantly filled the mouth. As the tea flowed down his throat, it felt like his esophagus was massaging gently all over his body.
The rich aroma of the tea formed air waves, which flowed directly into his forehead, shocking his entire body. At this moment, his brain entered a clear state, as if he had reached nirvana. The nerve pathways in his brain opened from one pathway to several pathways while bursts of electric current shot out nonstop, leaving his scalp numb and causing his entire body to convulse involuntarily.
This feeling is truly extraordinary. It seemed that life had reached its peak, as if he was the ruler of the universe. It makes people forget about themselves and it is addictive.
