Chapter 18

Can this really just be plain rice porridge, something that can arouse the appetite of a cultivator?

A deep question arose in the hearts of Bai Wuchen and the other two.

At this moment, Bai Luoshuang had already finished a bowl of porridge, patting her stomach, the full and satisfying feeling made her face beam with happiness.

"Phew—"

She let out a long breath, just about to express her gratitude, but suddenly a wave of heat surged through her body.

The spiritual energy within her began to lose control, her mind instantly went blank, replaced by a mysterious and profound sensation.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

It seemed as if the sound of the Great Dao echoed in her ears. From the outside, she appeared ethereal and illusory.

"This, this is..."

Bai Wuchen and the other two stared with wide eyes, completely stunned.

Enlightenment!

This is enlightenment!

Their breathing became abnormally rapid, almost shouting out loud.

Why would enlightenment suddenly happen?

In an instant, they thought of many things, their gazes all falling on the pot of white rice porridge on the stone table.

This is definitely not ordinary porridge. It's not just delicious; it actually contains the sound of the Great Dao!

Lin Qingyun's hands involuntarily clenched into fists, her face changing repeatedly, a deep regret welling up inside her, wishing she could slap herself.

"I am really stupid. How could the food of such a great person be ordinary white rice porridge? For such a great person, even his trash would be fought over by countless people. I just missed the chance to drink the white rice porridge. Ah, how could I be so stupid!"

If time could be rewound, she would kneel and beg to drink a bowl of white rice porridge.

Bai Wuchen and Su Ya's faces were also bitter. Thinking about their daughter's performance just now, the hints were already very clear. Why did they refuse to drink the porridge? Sigh, they missed a great opportunity!

They wondered if it was still in time to ask for some.

Their mouths opened, ready to beg for a bowl of white rice porridge, regardless of their dignity.

However, they saw Li Nianfan already standing up, picking up the pot of porridge.

"Big Black, come and eat."

A black dog hurriedly ran from the backyard, diving into its bowl and devouring the white rice porridge.

Huff, huff.

It was eating with great satisfaction.

Bai Wuchen and the other two froze, their eyes red as they stared at Big Black, helplessly swallowing their saliva.

"That is porridge containing the sound of the Great Dao! How can it be given to a dog, no, no!"

They cried out in their hearts, wishing they could take its place.

Big Black, who was enjoying his meal, seemed to sense their gaze. He paused, looked at the three, then turned his head, showing them his back, and continued to enjoy his meal.

His expression seemed to fear that the three would come and snatch it away.

"I..." Bai Wuchen and the other two's faces turned red, but they dared not act out.

Li Nianfan noticed their expressions and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, nothing," Bai Wuchen's mouth twitched, and he forced a bitter smile.

Their hearts were bleeding, and they could only look around to distract themselves.

But when they saw a corner of the yard, their pupils constricted again, staring intently at the black longsword in the corner, confirming it repeatedly.

The Demon Sword, it must be the Demon Sword!

Bai Wuchen was certain he wouldn't be mistaken. The Demon Sword, which had caused countless storms in the outside world, was now casually thrown in the corner.

Although the Demon Sword is a demonic sword, it contains boundless power, comparable to a supreme spiritual weapon, a treasure fought over by countless people.

Lin Qingyun weakly asked, "Young Master Li, that sword..."

"That sword somehow appeared at my doorstep. I found it quite sharp, so I use it to chop wood," Li Nianfan said casually.

Picked up?

Chop wood?

Bai Wuchen inwardly smiled bitterly.

Of course, he knew why the sword appeared at Li Nianfan's doorstep. To a great person, the Sword Demon was just air, so it was as if he had picked it up.

As for the Demon Sword being used to chop wood by a great person, they found it normal, considering it a kind of honor.

Lin Qingyun didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. The number of surprises in her life added up to less than today.

Is this the world of a great person?

"Chirp~"

Bai Luoshuang opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion, which then turned to shock.

Mid-Foundational Stage!

She had just drunk a bowl of porridge and had advanced from the early Foundational Stage to the mid-Foundational Stage.

She realized that the porridge was not just made with spiritual water; even the rice and the pickles were extraordinary!

These things, like the great person, seemed ordinary on the surface but were actually incomparably high.

Bai Luoshuang had gained a great benefit and quickly stood up, saying with surprise, "Thank you, Young Master Li."

"It's just a bowl of porridge, there's no need to thank me."

Li Nianfan shook his head. This girl was good in every way, but she was too easily surprised. It was just a bowl of porridge, was it really necessary to be so happy?

Bai Wuchen took out a wooden box and said, "Young Master Li, the last time my daughter brought back a painting from you, we benefited greatly. To express our gratitude, this is a small token of our appreciation. Please don't refuse it."

"You are too polite."

Li Nianfan was pleasantly surprised. They had come and even brought a gift.

It seemed they were true lovers of art.

He didn't pretend and opened the box, seeing a sword-shaped jade inside.

The jade was of unknown material, emitting a white light like a light source, bright but not blinding, appearing somewhat mysterious.

Lin Qingyun covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Bai Wuchen, her heart surging with shock.

The Sword Flaw Immortal Jade, this was the treasure of the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect, capable of allowing one to comprehend sword intent and become a sword immortal. Bai Wuchen actually took it out to give away?

For a sword cultivator, this jade was an invaluable treasure!

Bai Wuchen, however, remained calm.

He had his own considerations.

The Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect was saved by Li Nianfan, and a casual painting by Li Nianfan was far more valuable than the Sword Flaw Immortal Jade.

The Sword Flaw Immortal Jade was of little use to a cultivator at the Core Formation stage, but a painting by Li Nianfan, regardless of whether it was at the Core Formation, Soul Departure, Tribulation Transcendence, or even Immortal stages, could not be ignored.

If the Sword Flaw Immortal Jade could ensure the prosperity of the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect for ten thousand years, then a painting by Li Nianfan could ensure its prosperity for ten million years!

What use do I have for the Sword Flaw Immortal Jade?

Li Nianfan took the Sword Flaw Immortal Jade out of the box and examined it.

It was cool and smooth to the touch, with an excellent feel.

Li Nianfan nodded and smiled slightly, "This is a good thing. It can be used to light up my room at night, like a lamp."

Truly a great person.

The Sword Flaw Immortal Jade was just used for lighting, but thinking about how the Demon Sword was used to chop wood, they were relieved.
