Such a beautiful drink. Was this watermelon juice? Daji found it too precious to drink.

In the Immortal Realm, fruit juice was rare. Other than water and wine, the Immortal Realm had no other drink. Furthermore, there was even a straw in the drink. Daji had never seen this before but she guessed its usage right away.

So fascinating!

Being with Mr. Li was indeed full of surprises everywhere.

After observing the drink for a moment, she finally picked up the glass and drank, gently sucking on the straw.

Slurp.

The cooling watermelon juice squirted inside her mouth all at once, attacking her little taste buds.

“Hmmph!”

It felt so good!

The juice tasted perfectly of watermelon. Upon entering her mouth, its unique flavor burst, exciting her tastebuds instantly. The juice covered her small tongue and its chilliness made Daji shiver a little. Her tiredness from playing chess was instantly restored. The watermelon juice was way more cooling than the fruit itself. She did not have to bite it, all she had to do was to swallow one mouthful after another. It felt nothing like eating the fruit itself.

1

Gulp.

The watermelon juice flowed down her throat. Just like the first droplets of rain after a long drought, the juice moistened every spot in her throat, almost making her moan out with pleasure. The sweet juice flowed past many corners of her digestive system and finally arrived at her stomach as if cleansing her soul. Daji could not help closing her eyes to enjoy the moment at its finest.

2

At that instance, she felt all her cells dancing in joy and excitement.

So delicious!

It felt so good!

1

She had lived a thousand years, and this was the first time she had felt this much pleasure!

1

Other than its taste, the Spiritual Qi of the juice had penetrated her organs and cells, doing wonders for her body and even restoring the dried out Spiritual Qi in her.

‘This is not an ordinary watermelon! This must be the fruit from heaven!’

She took a sneak peek at Li Nianfan, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude. ‘Mr. Li’s such a kind man. He even shared this precious fruit with me.’

2

Daji wanted to enjoy the precious watermelon juice one sip at a time. However, it was so delicious that she could not stop.

Gulp. Gulp.

Her lips kept on sucking as the juice flowed down her throat and into her body. It felt too good and she could not stop. When she finally snapped back to reality, the glass was already empty.

2

Daji blushed and said, embarrassed, “I’m sorry, the watermelon juice was too delicious. I couldn’t help…”

Li Nianfan laughed. “Hahaha! I’m glad you like it.”

…

At dawn the next day.

Li Nianfan woke up early to brew a new pot of the medicine broth for Daji. When he opened the door of the four-part architecture, he jolted slightly. A scholar was sitting on a stone stool in front of her door. He did not even have his shoes on. His feet were dirty, covered in soil and grass. It seemed that he walked here with his bare feet.

Meng Liangjun was lost in thought, his eyes dull and blank. Upon seeing Li Nianfan, he snapped out of it and said politely, “Greetings to Mr. Li.”

“What’re you doing here?” Li Nianfan frowned and asked in a rather annoyed tone.

This scholar was delirious, and appearing in front of Li Nianfan’s door this early almost scared him.

“I was captivated by your couplet. Sorry to have scared you. It’s all my fault,” Meng Liangjun said politely as he bowed to Li Nianfan.

‘Whatever. I shouldn’t be mad at this spaced-out scholar,’ Li Nianfan thought to himself. He then asked, “Let it go. What’re you doing here?”

Meng Liangjun said, “Since the day I listened to your teachings, I’ve started observing the essence of everything. From an ant on the ground to the life of a person. Even the cycle of days and nights. Indeed, I’ve learned a lot and realized the many mysterious changes between the sky and the ground. However, I still have one question that I don’t understand. That’s what brought me here.”

This scholar seemed more realistic now. Was he turning into a philosopher?

“What’s your question?” Li Nianfan asked. He wanted to get rid of the scholar as soon as possible.

Meng Liangjun looked at the couplet with a humble look, “Mr. Li, you’ve already answered my question and I understand now.”

“You understand?” LI Nianfan rolled his eyes. This scholar’s brain was wired so differently from the others.

Meng Junliang answered politely, “I was fortunate to have understood some of Mr. Li’s teachings.”

“Whatever.” Li Nianfan closed the door. As long as he could not see him, he felt less annoyed. This scholar was too weird, he had to stay away from him.

Meng Liangjun continued sitting on the stone stool, staring at the couplet blankly as his body seemed rather vague within the mists and clouds.

In the past month, he had witnessed many births and deaths. Regardless if it was plants, animals, or humans, he observed them closely and realized many things. The more he learned, the more questions he had. He even started doubting his ideas.

Could ordinary men truly achieve longevity?

He intended to ask Li Nianfan about the insights of longevity. However, when he laid eyes on the couplet by his door, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and that he could not take another step closer.

‘I Came From The Mortal Realm, Seeking For Longevity.’

‘Was this not written just for me? What an expert he is. He must’ve realized I’d ask him at some point, so he wrote the answer on his door waiting for my visit.’

The eight words were simple, yet it contained the realm of longevity. Meng Liangjun felt as if he had been woken up abruptly. Unknowing of the passing of time, he sat there from dawn to noon. Even when the burning sun was right above him, he remained unmoving with his gaze transfixed on the couplet. Sometimes he seemed to have understood, and sometimes he seemed confused. His thin, long gown sank at his sides, while the occasional breeze blew the ribbon in his hair astray.

In the afternoon, the Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu flew over to the four-part architecture in a rush. They had not slept for a night and finally managed to compile all the elixirs in the Immortal Dynasty to bring to the expert right away.

Meanwhile, the Holy Emperor’s expression changed slightly. He said with a serious tone, “It’s bad. There are Monster Spirits ahead.”

Luo Shiyu looked serious. She asked worriedly, “Dad, which way are they heading to?”

“It seems that they’re heading in the direction of the expert’s house. It seems to be two Monster Kings, and they’re quite strong.” The Holy Emperor looked disturbed. His voice turned hoarse as he said in a panic, “Damn it. If they disturb the expert, it’d be bad for all of us! We need to stop the monsters!”

The Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu fastened their pace and rushed toward the mountain. The Monster King was equivalent to a human cultivator in the Yuan Ying realm. To the Holy Emperor, they were nothing, but if they disturbed the expert from living in peace and he left due to this, the Holy Emperor would be depressed!

It was his mistake for leaving the area unguarded. The expert must have blamed him! The Holy Emperor was angered by this thought and was ready to kill these two Monster Kings!

Meanwhile, the two monsters had made it to the middle of the mountain. One of them had the head of a cow and the other had the head of a wolf. They were both staring at the four-part architecture not far away from them.
