Chapter 490: Li Nianfan Straight To The Point.
“So, it was a misunderstanding.”
Li Nianfan smiled. He said, “It’s nothing then, everything’s resolved now.”
“Right, right, you’re right. I’ll fix it now.” Lin Feng did not hesitate to cast a spell. Instantly, a glow flew into Mother River and the river was fixed.
“Thank you.” Li Nianfan made a gesture and introduced himself, “I’m Li Nianfan. Although I have no cultivation, I’m lucky to have become a Deluxe Merit Saint in this Eldritch World. Nice to meet you, Brother Lin.”
Lin Feng dared not waste anymore time. He quickly returned the gesture and said, “Greetings to Lord Saint.”
He jumped. He was pretending to be an ordinary man?
He felt it when his Realm of Saint vanished. When a man became too powerful, one would try to live as an ordinary man to experience ordinariness. However, one’s Qi could not be changed as it was coming from the inside. He was meant to be high-above at all times!
And yet… Li Nianfan had an ordinary temperament!
It was as if nothing was powerful around him. There was no ‘high above. Any temperament would vanish. Everyone had to live with his ordinariness.
What kind of realm was that!?
Lin Feng had no idea and found it unbelievable!
How powerful!
Li Nianfan calmed down. He had a plan and had to bite his tongue!
He had experience in doing this.
He went from an ordinary man and bribed his way up with those cultivational bigshots. Now, this was a similar case with different subjects.
Do not panic. Keep calm. Making friends was his forte.
He said, “Jade Emperor, since we have a visitor, let’s waste no time. Make a boat and show him around.”
Although this bigshot seemed friendly, they still had to know him better. It was better to make a new friend than an enemy.
It would be troublesome if they had offended him.
“Lord Saint’s right. We have a boat, yes!”
The Jade Emperor nodded quickly. With a gesture, an exquisitely made boat instantly appeared.
The boat was not huge but it gave them enough room.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Brother Lin, please.”
“Thank you.” Lin Feng was not too cautious. Since this had happened, even though he panicked and wanted to find a way to leave, he knew he must not turn down an invitation from the bigshot. He had to go ahead.
The group boarded the boat. The boat traveled down the river.
Li Nianfan and the rest sat around the table.
When Li Nianfan saw the wine jar in Lin Feng’s hand, he said, “Brother Lin likes wine?”
“Just one of my hobbies,” Lin Feng said as he brought out his wine jar. He asked, “Do you like wine as well? Would you like to taste it?”
“Ha-ha-ha, of course, I do. However, I have a type of wine here. Would you care for a try?”
Li Nianfan removed the purple golden gourd from his waist. He shook it and removed its lid.
“Even though this isn’t some precious wine, it has a nice texture. I can assure you!”
“Really?”
Lin Feng was shocked by what Li Nianfan said. He was also curious as he could not help looking at the purple golden gourd in his hands.
In the beginning, he did not see anything different about this gourd. He found it eye-catching, bright, and glowing.
However, it did not take long before his heart sank. He found this very interesting.
“Brother Feng, this gourd’s an Ultimate Treasure!”
Behind him, Luoyun Sword cried out. She was a Spiritual Treasure, so she was sensitive to other Spiritual Treasures. She felt a sense of external pressure and fear. She cried out with a tremble, “It’s terrifying. I think it could be an Ultimate Chaos Treasure!”
An Ultimate Chaos Treasure?!
Lin Feng’s pupils dilated. He focused his divine consciousness on the gourd. He felt as if he was looking at an ocean. His head turned dizzy as if his consciousness was about to get sucked in.
He dared not go on. He cut out his divine consciousness. His body was filled with cold sweat. He was in fear.
If this thing could suck in his divine consciousness, there was no doubt that this was an Ultimate Chaos Treasure!
He offended it! He really did offend it! How could he use his personal divine consciousness to look into the expert’s treasure? Luckily the expert was generous and did not hold it against him. If not, he could have died!
“Brother Feng, are you okay?” Luoyun Sword asked. “This gourd seems to be…pretending to be ordinary?”
It was trying its best to hide its glory and Qi. It was trying to make itself look ordinary.
Lin Feng took in a breath and said, “That’s normal. Since the expert’s trying to be ordinary, of course, his treasures would try to act along with him. Everything around the expert should try to be ordinary. This was the temperament of the expert!”
“I can’t believe this! That was an Ultimate Chaos Treasure! And the expert’s using an Ultimate Chaos Treasure to…bottle his wine!? What kind of wine is that?”
Lin Feng and Luoyun Sword were talking about how shocked they were. They were instantly scared and dared not breathe.
Was this the pressure from meeting a bigshot?
“Come, try the wine.”
Li Nianfan had no idea Lin Feng had been talking to his sword all this while. He was pouring everyone a glass of wine.
Whoosh!
The wine flowed into the glasses and pulled Lin Feng back from his talking. When he saw the wine flowing, he was stunned as his head exploded.
His jaw dropped and he took in a cold breath.
Gasp…
Meanwhile, Luoyun Sword trembled.
This…this…this…
This wine was extraordinary!
Very extraordinary!
They had been in the Chaos for too long. They had some understanding and knowledge.
This wine had the Qi from the Chaos. It was made with Chaos Spiritual Roots!
So terrifying! So shocking!
Lin Feng’s heart fastened. His hair was standing everywhere. He was dumbfounded by what he saw.
Li Nianfan looked at how shocked Lin Feng was. He asked curiously, “Are you okay?”
“I…”
Lin Feng thought quickly. He was trying his best to come up with an excuse. “I’m smelling the wine! Right! It smells so good! I can’t help gasping.”
“Ha-ha-ha, it seems that you’re really into good wine!” Li Nianfan laughed. He said, “Alright, try it. It’s just an ordinary wine. Don’t look down on it.”
“I won’t, I won’t!”
Lin Feng felt his scalp itching as he replied.
An Ultimate Chaos Treasure was used as an ordinary wine jar. A wine made with Chaos Spiritual Roots was called ‘ordinary’. Was he trying to insult them all? He was too weak for this!
Even his hand was shaking as he accepted the glass. He looked at the wine in it and was perplexed.
He would never have thought that he was lucky enough to drink wine made of Chaos Spiritual Roots. Was he dreaming?
He was too excited. He had many thoughts and he felt confused. “Luoyun, look! Wine made of Chaos Spiritual Roots looks like this!”
Luoyun Sword said, “Brother Lin, I see it.”
Back then, they lost their world because of Chaos Spiritual Roots!
This was their out-of-grip dream. And yet, they were now touching it…
The Jade Emperor and Yang Jing accepted the wine glass as well. They were smelling the wine and felt energetic.
They were in luck! They were in luck!
They gained another opportunity from the expert again! How would they pay him back!
‘Expert, I promise you, our lives will belong to you from now on!’
They could not wait to drink it.
Argh…good wine! Nice!
Li Nianfan looked at Lin Feng. He could not help asking, “Why aren’t you drinking? Is it not up to your liking?”
“No, sorry, I’m thinking of my past.” Lin Feng snapped back to reality. He lifted the glass and drank it with tears in his eyes.
Li Nianfan said, “How is it?”
Lin Feng was not stingy with his compliment. He said sincerely, “Good wine! I traveled in the Chaos and this is the best wine I’ve tasted!”
Li Nianfan laughed and said proudly, “Ha-ha-ha, you’re too kind. I’m just messing around but everyone likes this.”
Just messing around?
Did he give this wine to anyone?
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. He looked at the Jade Emperor and the rest who were also drinking. He found out that the expert would actually do that.
Damn it!
He wanted to collapse!
Was there such a generous man in the entire Chaos?
Even if an existence like this man craved for this level of good wine, anyone in this broken world could get hold of this?
No wonder these people dared to stand up to him. They worked so hard for the expert, and this man would do the same!
Not much, just once per day. He would be a good boot-licker.
Li Nianfan saw that it was about time. He asked, “Right, may I know why you came here?”
“Sigh, I came in by accident.”
Lin Feng shook his head. He sounded sad as he said, “To be honest with you, my world no longer exists. I’ve been walking around in the Chaos. I get drunk all the time, sorry to be such an embarrassment.”
Li Nianfan refilled Lin Feng’s glass. He expected Lin Feng to continue speaking.
As expected, Lin Feng thanked him and sighed as he said, “In the Chaos, the weaker ones get eaten. The smaller worlds must stay hidden. If not, it’d be seen as food. Back then, my world was in danger. I escaped my world in the end. I watched my world go extinct.”
He spoke with his eyes reddened. He felt very guilty.
Even though he was very powerful now, this was his guilt and this greatly affected his mentality. He was unable to move forward.
At the deep end of his heart, he had two goals—one was to get revenge and the other was to improve. He wanted to recreate his world and revive Luoyun Sword.
However, he was no longer able to improve. These two goals were hopeless and he started to get wasted.
When the Jade Emperor heard what he said, they fell silent and heavy.
They knew that if they had not met the expert, the Eldritch World would have been diminished just like Lin Feng’s.
Li Nianfan looked as if he was thinking.
To put it in simpler terms, the Chaos was like a big world with thousands of Laws and Sects. The competition was violent. Lin Feng’s sect was destroyed and he was now homeless.
He was pitiable.
Lin Feng said in a low voice, “Am I a person scared of death?”
“Of course, not,” Li Nianfan said without thinking.
‘You’re a bigshot, of course, I know what to say.’
Li Nianfan thought of how cruel this world was. He merely wanted to send this outsider away from this world.
After all, he was a Deluxe Merit Saint in this world. The Eldritch World was safe for him but it was not safe from the Chaos.
Keeping Lin Feng here was like keeping a time bomb around.
Lin Feng’s eyes sparkled. He looked at Li Nianfan with anticipation, “Lord Saint thinks I’m not?”
“Of course not.”
Li Nianfan let out a friendly smile and reformed his words. He said, “If you went all out, even though those people might praise you for your bravery, you’ll still be dead. Sometimes, fighting isn’t everything. Staying alive is more impressive.”
“Staying alive is more impressive…”
Lin Feng’s eyes widened. He felt awakened from a dream, his goosebumps were showing.
He clenched his fists tightly. He looked perplexed. “Will I…be able to take revenge?”
Thinking of that big demon, he felt helpless.
Li Nianfan merely smiled and said calmly, “The path is long, let it come when it comes. It’s not easy, but once you start, it shall be done!”
Vroom!
Lin Feng’s head felt like it was exploding. His blood was boiling wildly. He was very excited and shaking.
It was a simple sentence and yet he felt emptied. His mind instantly opened up.
“Yes, I can do that!”
Lin Feng had a look of determination in his eyes. He mumbled.
His originally lost hope was gradually toughening up.
He stood up abruptly and bowed at Li Nianfan. He said in a serious tone, “Thank you, Lord Saint, for pointing this out for me. I understand it now! Thank you, I’ll remember what you said.”
He was emotional.
The expert was indeed an expert! A simple sentence from him had instantly freed up his mind and toughened up his determination. Was this the realm of a bigshot?
Li Nianfan sat in the same spot and smiled. He said nonchalantly, “Glad that you understood.”
He seemed impressed.
He knew many quotes to sound impressive anyway.
He said this to Lin Feng with one purpose. He wanted to send this time bomb away. ‘Go away and take revenge. Don’t stay in this world!’
He did not care whether Lin Feng would be able to take revenge or not. He was not concerned. He said this merely to sound profound and nothing else…
Lin Feng seemed pumped up. He said, “Lord Saint, everyone, I’m ready to leave.”
Li Nianfan was glad. He said, “So soon? Not taking a few more glasses?”
“No, thank you for your wine.” Lin Feng shook his head. He bowed, “I’ve let myself loose for too long. Thank you for waking me up and putting hope back in me!”
“Cough, cough, you’re welcome.” Li Nianfan felt embarrassed.
He was convincing this man to die and yet this man was thanking him for that. He felt rather guilty.
He was guilty. After a moment of thought, he said, “Brother Lin, I have nothing to give you. Here’s a small thing, I hope you don’t mind.
“Nanan, get me the television.”
