Chapter 25

Bai Wuchen and the others naturally did not dare to wander around recklessly, only cautiously circling around the courtyard.

With a heart full of reverence and awe, they admired the abode of the immortal.

The layout and decor style here made them marvel and exclaim in surprise.

Many things they had never seen before, such as tiles and mirrors.

These treasures, they were definitely treasures!

So this is what the immortal's palace looks like.

Bai Luoshuang then introduced, "Father, look, that is the air purifier, and that one is the water purifier."

"Whoa—"

Zhao Shanhe drew in a sharp breath, his pupils wide open. Although he had heard about it before, he was still incredibly shocked when he saw the real thing.

This is a self-made paradise!

"Are you surprised just by these? Look over there, what is that?" Bai Wuchen pointed to a corner not far away.

"Devil Sword?!" Zhao Shanhe hurriedly went over, confirming it repeatedly, and was absolutely certain that this was the Devil Sword!

"Was it really this immortal who helped you deal with the Sword Demon?" Zhao Shanhe asked.

"Could it be fake?"

Bai Wuchen smiled and said softly, "I suspect this great person has a connection with the ancestors of my Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect!"

Zhao Shanhe looked at Bai Wuchen with utter disdain and said mercilessly, "Pah! Do you have any shame?"

Lin Qingyun also looked at Bai Wuchen with a strange expression, not expecting this senior to be so good at putting gold on his own face.

"I have solid reasons!" Bai Wuchen hurriedly analyzed, "My daughter just came out to seek refuge and encountered a monster, almost being killed by it. This great person happened to appear, not only saving my daughter but also inviting them to drink spiritual water and bringing back a painting!

This painting first helped me break through, then guided the Sword Demon to this place, and casually eliminated the Sword Demon, solving a major problem for my Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect! Everything is interconnected, all under the control of this great person, he is clearly helping my Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect!"

Zhao Shanhe's gaze towards Bai Wuchen had changed, exclaiming, "Bai Wuchen, how did I not notice before that you could be so shameless! According to what you say, it seems the great person helped you to get to know me, and then help me. It looks like my ancestors are the ones who have a connection with the great person."

These two old men, they are too shameless!

Lin Qingyun rolled her eyes, her beautiful eyes landing on the Devil Sword.

Is this the Devil Sword that has been causing unrest in the entire cultivation world?

It's just a sword, yet it makes all the major sects fear it. Now, this sword is casually placed in a corner, used to chop wood.

"Huh?"

Bai Wuchen was slightly taken aback, "The demonic aura on the Devil Sword is completely gone!"

"Really!" Zhao Shanhe was also shocked. The Devil Sword represents a great sword demon, but now it feels like just an ordinary black sword.

However, when they thought of Li Nianfan's abilities, they immediately felt relieved.

"It seems the great person saw that the Devil Sword was full of killing, so he sealed its demonic nature, using it to chop wood to atone for its sins!" Zhao Shanhe had already finished his mental speculation, exclaiming, "Truly worthy of being a great person."

At this moment, Li Nianfan had already thought of a way and began preparing ink, brush, and paper.

Everyone who came here was for his literary talent, so a cultured person should do what a cultured person does. He would write a couplet to hang at the door.

Li Nianfan held the brush, standing straight, his eyes slightly narrowed, gathering his emotions.

A wave of Dao aura emanated from Li Nianfan's body, instantly filling the entire courtyard.

Bai Wuchen and the others all trembled, their body hair standing on end, instantly feeling a sense of fear.

"Master Li, he, he, he..."

Lin Qingyun's beautiful eyes widened, her red lips trembling, too excited to speak.

This was the first time Master Li displayed his Dao aura, although it was just a tiny bit, it was probably unmatched in the cultivation world.

They suppressed their inner fear, slowly approaching Li Nianfan.

Is the great person going to write?

Everyone dared not even breathe.

Li Nianfan had gathered his emotions, his eyes suddenly opening, his pupils deep like the Milky Way.

Brush down!

Boom!

Although it was a clear sky, a thunderclap suddenly echoed in the sky!

The brush moved like a dragon, graceful and beautiful!

Bai Wuchen and the others forgot to breathe, their eyes instantly bloodshot, feeling their spirit and vitality restrained, as if isolated in another world.

To them, Li Nianfan was not just writing, but writing the path of the Dao!

Every stroke and line followed the path of the Dao, the Dao aura surging towards them like a tidal wave.

Too much, too intense!

Their Dao was like a small boat in the vast sea, too insignificant.

This Dao aura was enough to drive everyone in the cultivation world mad!

If Li Nianfan's Dao aura were not so gentle, their spirits would be instantly overwhelmed, leading to mental breakdown and the loss of a hundred years of cultivation.

Soon, Li Nianfan finished his brushwork!

Bai Wuchen and the others felt a great relief, breathing heavily, drenched in sweat.

The paper bore ten large characters, ethereal and transcendent:

"I come from the mortal world, seeking immortality here!"

What a transcendent and free-spirited line!

In just ten characters, the essence of cultivation was conveyed.

Only a great person like Master Li could have the courage to write such a couplet.

Zhao Shanhe stared at the line, repeating it over and over, feeling his scalp tingle, his mind momentarily blank.

Just a bit!

Just a bit!

I can break through to the Out-of-Body realm!

Zhao Shanhe breathed heavily, only sighing in his heart.

But he was full of hope; as long as he could be with such a great person, breaking through to the Out-of-Body realm would be nothing.

No one dared to speak, all captivated by the couplet's profound meaning, fearing that a single word might disrupt the overwhelming Dao aura.

"Done!"

Li Nianfan took the couplet and carefully examined it, "Just so-so, I've been a bit lazy lately, my skills have declined."

Just so-so?

Skills have declined?

Please consider the feelings of us weaklings.

Lin Qingyun trembled, not daring to speak.

"What do you think of these characters?" Li Nianfan asked, showing off a bit.

Bai Wuchen was stunned for a moment before hardening his resolve, "Good characters, these characters... are too good!"

He really couldn't think of any words to describe it; such characters only existed in the heavens.

Li Nianfan saw that he was at a loss for words.

"Let's hang these characters at the door." Li Nianfan took the couplet to the door, fixing it on both sides of the door frame, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

Not many characters, but the meaning was profound; even immortals wouldn't find it vulgar.

The prestige of his quadrangle courtyard had increased.

"Master, the food is ready."

Xiao Bai carried a tray, filled with vegetables and meat rolls, placing them on a large stone table in the inner courtyard.

At the same time, he set up a grill, placed a large pot on the fire, poured it full of beef tallow, and began to cook.
