A cauldron for what?

“This…”

Li Nianfan did not know what to say. The cauldron was given to him by others and it was rude to reject it.

Urchin was observing Li Nianfan’s reaction. When he noticed the expert frowning, he jumped. He went cold and his hands were shivering.

The expert…did not like the cauldron?

He was too careless. He should have given it more thought. He could have searched across the seas to pick more treasures!

He quickly said in a respectful tone, “Mr. Li, we’re poor. We couldn’t find any good items, so we could only bring this cauldron as a gift. Please, forgive us.”

Li Nianfan looked like he realized something.

Perhaps the cauldron was a gift for the mentor?

It must be. The Carp Demon knew that his daughter was being taught by the Fire Phoenix. He must be giving her something as a token of appreciation.

However, he had limited treasure. That cauldron was supposedly the best treasure he had. He must have said that because he was scared of being despised.

What a poor, loving parent.

Li Nianfan had an idea. He immediately smiled and said, “Mr. Urchin, don’t say that. This cauldron is nice. I suddenly remembered that I recently planned to brew some alcohol. This cauldron came at the right time.”

Brew alcohol?

Urchin was slightly taken aback. He smiled awkwardly.

The cauldron was a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. The Xuanyuan Sea Spell Cauldron could suppress any water spells and it had properties that could make Spiritual Water. Was it only worthy of brewing alcohol for the expert?

However, he was relieved after thinking about how the other Immortal items ended up. It was not that bad to be able to brew alcohol. It could be considered as putting the item to good use.

Li Nianfan walked to the Xuanyuan Sea Spell Cauldron. He lifted the lid.

“Huh? The lid looks heavy. I didn’t expect it to be so light. How convenient.” He smiled like he was pleasantly surprised.

Then, he looked inside the cauldron.

Urchin covered his ‘O’-shaped mouth with his hand at the side.

That was the Xuanyuan Sea Spell Cauldron!

After the big tribulation, the Dragon Door was closed. The Above Immortal Realm was worried that no one would look after the oceanic areas and it would cause chaos in the Immortal Realm. Therefore, they placed the cauldron in the depths of the ocean.

The lid was light?

No one had been able to lift its lid before.

The most important thing was when the expert said he wanted to use the cauldron to brew alcohol!

‘As a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, shouldn’t you show a little more resistance? Do you like brewing alcohol?’

Thankfully, he was mentally prepared. He looked calm on the surface. He, too, looked into the cauldron.

The inside of the cauldron was as smooth as a mirror—flawless and glistening. Reflections could be seen when they stood near it.

“It’s a good cauldron! Perfect for brewing alcohol!”

Li Nianfan was delighted. He put the lid back on. The lid fitted snugly on the cauldron. It was perfect.

He smiled gently and saluted, “Mr. Urchin, your cauldron’s so useful for me. Thanks a lot.”

Urchin smiled awkwardly and said, “Ha, you’re welcome, Mr. Li. This cauldron is indeed suitable for brewing alcohol.”

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

“Is Mr. Li home?”

Li Nianfan was surprised. Then, he said, “The door’s unlocked. Come on in.”

Creak.

Two people walked in slowly.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Brother Lin and Brother Xiao.”

Lin Mufeng and Xiao Chengfeng said at the same time, “Greetings to Mr. Li, Lady Daji.”

“No need to be courteous. Quick, take a seat.”

He did not expect so many visitors today.

Lin Mufeng said in an embarrassed tone, “Mr. Li, sorry for coming by without notice.”

Li Nianfan waved it away and said, “Brother Lin, don’t be a stranger by saying that.”

“Actually, I was the one who wanted to come by, Mr. Li,” said Xiao Chengfeng. He unbuckled the sword from his belt and said, “Thanks for the advice last time, Mr. Li. You helped me understand a lot. I don’t have much to pay you back for that. I only have this sword. Please, accept it, Mr. Li.”

Li Nianfan did not reach out to accept it. He shook his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, “Brother Xiao, you don’t need to do that. It’s not a big deal. Also, I’m just an ordinary man so I have no use for a sword. Please, take it back.”

“This…”

Xiao Chengfeng sighed and said, “Mr. Li, if you need my help with anything in the future, please, feel free to say so!”

Li Nianfan was waiting for that. He quickly smiled and said, “Don’t worry. If there is, I’ll do so.”

Sword cultivators were so earnest.

He simply teased him with a few sentences and got a promise from a sword cultivator in exchange. What a deal!

Urchin noticed that Li Nianfan was happy. He did not want to back down, so he immediately said, “Mr. Li, if there’s anything you need, I can help you out as best as I can, too.”

“Haha, thanks!”

Li Nianfan was overjoyed. He had protection from the sky, the land, and the water!

“Everyone, I must say you all came at the right time. You can try my newly invented ice pops.” He waved at Xiao Bai and said, “Quickly serve it to the guests.”

“Coming, my dear Master.”

Soon, Xiao Bai took out a mould from the refrigerator.

Dragin could not wait and immediately ran over, “Brother, is this the new ice pops?”

She looked at the mould with sparkles in her eyes. She looked excited.

The mould was made from wood that was sculpted into different shapes. They looked amazing because of Li Nianfan’s sculpturing skills.

The ice pops were perfectly shaped from the mould. The visual presentation was outstanding.

“This…”

Urchin and Xiao Chengfeng jumped when they saw the mould. They were terrified.

It emitted a weird aura.

Leftover Powers?

It was Leftover Powers for sure!

When a bigshot performed a high-level spell, the surrounding walls would have Leftover Powers. The Leftover Powers contained spell understanding from the spell caster. A small portion of Leftover Powers was enough to be beneficial in studies and observations for future generations.

The expert simply made a sculpture and had Leftover Powers. No, it was not Leftover Powers. It must be true Power Bestow!

Only people with a deep understanding of their powers could perform a Power Bestow.

The purpose of the mould was to make ice pops. That was…crazy!

Li Nianfan rushed them. “Stop standing around, hurry up and try it.”

He picked up a dog-shaped ice pop and ate it. The cool sensation plus the perfect mixture of the three fruity flavors instantly made Li Nianfan feel good.

Xiao Chengfeng did not hesitate. As expected, picked the sword-shaped ice pop.

He held the ice pop in front of his eyes to examine it closely. He suddenly felt like his vision was blurry. It was as if he no longer held an ice pop. Instead, he was holding a real sword—a sword that was about to fly high in the sky!

Sword aura came out from the ice pop. It was as if the ice pop was from another dimension.

Xiao Chengfeng could not wait any longer. He put the ice pop in his mouth.

Suddenly, a chilling sensation traveled from the tip of his tongue to his entire body. The chill was not damaging for him. It was cool and then sweet flavors melted into his tongue. It was not just one flavor but a mixture of three fruits. The flavors teased his taste palettes to the extreme. Sometimes he tasted strawberries, sometimes he tasted the citric sweetness of the oranges, and other times he tasted pears.

Icy, cool, sweet, and sour. The flavors spun in his mouth. There was no better feeling than that.

So… So delicious!

If it was not for the expert, he would never have gotten the chance to enjoy that.

He thought his only passion in life was sword cultivation. That was the first time he realized that apart from sword cultivation, there was also good food.

However, just when he was mesmerized by the delicious food, his mouth suddenly started to shine brightly.

A long sword appeared in his mind without a warning. The sword was in the sky, emitting waves of Sword Intention. It kept expanding before it merged into his body. He gained a better understanding of the power of sword cultivation.

Meanwhile, Urchin chose a wave-shaped ice pop.

Instead of a sword, there were giant ocean waves in his mind. He felt like he was being baptized as he was being washed by the power of waves.

As expected, the ice pops were extraordinary since the mould was so special. How could the expert be impressed by anything less than extraordinary?

They felt like they were not eating ice pops. Every bite—no, it was more like every lick—was Power!

1

It might not be believable but they were consuming Power by licking.

They would never dream of eating something like that. They would not have even believed magical ice pops exist.

Urchin looked at his daughter. She was holding a bunny-shaped ice pop and carefully sucking on it.

He suddenly looked jealous.

His daughter was able to follow the bigshot around. Even if she was just doing chores, she was living a better life than a Dragon King!

The bigshot could simply bring something out and it would be treasures that no one could get!

Slurp, slurp.

Everyone was slurping in the four-part architecture.

They were all enjoying the moment.

The sounds finally stopped after time passed.

Looking at their satisfied demeanors, Li Nianfan felt pleased with himself. He asked, “Is the taste alright?”

“Alright? It’s way better than alright!” Urchin nodded continuously. He sincerely said, “Thanks for the treat, Mr. Li. I’m lucky to be eating something so delicious.”

Xiao Chengfeng said in a serious tone, “Mr. Li, thanks for the hospitality! I won’t forget your kindness!”

Li Nianfan waved and laughed, “Okay, what an overreaction. It’s just an ice pop, it’s nothing much.”

Urchin and Xiao Chengfeng looked at each other. Their gazes were filled with gratefulness.

The expert did not see the ice pops as anything much, but they could not do so!

That was a blessing from the expert. They had to remember it and thank him!

 The two of them had the same idea. They stood up simultaneously.

Xiao Chengfeng said, “Mr. Li, sorry for the disturbance today. We won’t be staying any longer.”

Urchin looked at the backyard and then said, “Mr. Li, I should go, too. Dragin’s in your care now. If she’s disobedient, don’t show her mercy. Just punish her!”

Li Nianfan walked them to the door and said, “Farewell, everyone.”

They walked out of the four-part architecture. Urchin and Xiao Chengfeng walked side by side.

Urchin saluted, smiled, and introduced himself, “The Dragon King of the Eastside Ocean, Urchin!”

“Sword Immortal, Xiao Chengfeng. Greetings to the Dragon King.”

Instantly, they went from being strangers to teammates that served the same expert. They chatted as they walked.

Lin Mufeng quietly followed behind them. He did not dare to breathe loudly.

A Dragon King and a Sword Immortal. When did the realm suddenly become so scary? They were not to be messed with.

Urchin and Xiao Chengfeng had a change in their facial expressions just when they were about to reach the end of the mountains. They looked in front of them.

There was a white figure. Her skirt was flowy and she was as cold as a Goddess.

They did not dare to dilly dally. They rushed over and greeted respectfully, “Lady Daji!”

“Cultivators, no need for courtesy.” Daji nodded at them and asked, “I was wondering if you’re free recently?”

Urchin hurriedly said, “Of course. Please, feel free to give us your orders, Lady Daji!”

“There’s a Five-Color Sacred Cow in the Kunxu Mountains at the Above Immortal Realm. The Master wants it.”

Daji paused and said, “However, the cow’s quite powerful and hard to track. I’d like to ask for your help. Let’s help the Master together.”

“As we should, as we should!”

Urchin said without hesitation, “Lady Daji, the expert’s business is our business! Count me in.”

Xiao Chengfeng followed suit, “What are we waiting for? I’ll head to the Kunxu Mountains right now. I’ll be back to update you once I have information on the Five-Color Sacred Cow, Lady Daji.”

Lin Mufeng’s mouth was wide open. Alright, he could not do anything except being amazed by the sidelines.

Daji said, “Sorry for the trouble.”

“You’re too courteous, Lady Daji. This shouldn’t be delayed. We’ll prepare for it immediately and we’ll complete this task perfectly!”
