Chapter 36

What beautiful water.

Is this watermelon juice?

I didn't know watermelons could be like this.

Daji couldn't bear to drink it.

Juice is clearly a rarity in the world of cultivation. Apart from water and wine, there are no other beverages in the world of cultivation.

Moreover, there was even a straw in the cup, something Daji had never seen before, but she instantly guessed its use.

How magical.

Being with Master Li is indeed full of surprises.

After taking a good look, she picked up the cup, bit the straw with her mouth, and gave it a gentle suck.

Swoosh.

The icy watermelon juice instantly rushed into her mouth, hitting her small tongue.

"Ah!"

So comfortable.

The watermelon juice undoubtedly perfectly released the flavor of the watermelon. As soon as it entered her mouth, the unique sweet taste of the watermelon exploded, and all the taste buds in her mouth instantly became excited.

The juice enveloped her tongue, and the icy sensation made Daji shiver slightly. The fatigue from playing chess was instantly restored to full vigor.

Clearly, it's still a watermelon, but drinking watermelon juice is obviously more refreshing. No need to chew, just swallow it in large gulps. This kind of smoothness is something eating a watermelon can't compare to.

Gulp.

The watermelon juice flowed down her throat.

Like a long-awaited rain, it moistened every blood vessel in her throat, almost making her moan.

The sweet juice traveled through every corner of her body, then fell into her stomach, as if washing her soul.

Daji couldn't help but close her eyes, carefully savoring this feeling.

At this moment, she felt every cell in her body trembling with excitement.

So delicious!

So refreshing!

After living for a thousand years, she felt for the first time that life could be so wonderful.

Apart from the taste, the spiritual energy in the watermelon juice had already flowed into her limbs and every corner of her body.

The originally depleted spiritual energy in her body began to recover bit by bit.

"This is not an ordinary watermelon, but a heavenly fruit!"

Daji secretly glanced at Li Nianfan, her beautiful eyes full of gratitude, "Master Li is really good to me, willing to share such a thing with me."

Such precious watermelon juice, she originally wanted to savor it bit by bit, but the watermelon juice was too delicious, and she couldn't stop.

"Gulp, gulp."

Her mouth sucked, and the watermelon juice flowed into her body.

This feeling was really too refreshing, making her unable to stop.

When she came to her senses, the cup of watermelon juice was already empty.

Daji's cheeks turned slightly red, and she said shyly, "Sorry, the watermelon juice was too delicious, I couldn't help it..."

Li Nianfan laughed heartily, "Hahaha, as long as you like it."

The next day, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Li Nianfan got up early to boil medicine for Daji.

When he opened the gate of the courtyard, he was slightly stunned, looking in surprise at the scholar sitting on a large stone in front of the door.

Today, he was different from last time, not even wearing shoes, with soil and weeds on his feet, clearly having walked over barefoot.

Meng Junliang's thoughts were wandering, his eyes vacant, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Seeing Li Nianfan, he came to his senses and respectfully said, "Greetings, Master Li."

"What are you doing here?" Li Nianfan frowned, a bit displeased.

This guy, appearing at his doorstep so early, really scared Li Nianfan.

"I was attracted by the couplet at your door. I didn't mean to disturb you, Master Li, I apologize." Meng Junliang bowed respectfully to Li Nianfan.

Forget it, I shouldn't get angry with a bookworm.

Li Nianfan said helplessly, "Forget it, what are you doing here?"

Meng Junliang said, "Since that day, I have followed Master Li's teachings, observing the essence of all things, whether it's ants on the ground, a person's life, or the alternation of the sun and moon. Indeed, I have gained a lot and discovered many profound changes in the world. But there is still one question I can't figure out, so I came to seek your guidance, Master Li."

This guy is really serious, won't he become a philosopher?

"What question?" Li Nianfan wanted to get rid of him quickly.

Meng Junliang looked at the couplet, as if in a religious pilgrimage, "Master Li has already given me the answer, and I have understood it."

"You understood again?" Li Nianfan rolled his eyes; this guy's brain is really different from normal people.

Meng Junliang humbly said, "I have gained some insights, luckily understanding a bit of Master Li's wisdom."

"Suit yourself." Li Nianfan closed the door, out of sight, out of mind.

This bookworm is really unreliable, I need to stay away from him.

Meng Junliang continued to sit on the large stone, his eyes fixed on the couplet, his figure appearing ethereal in the mist.

In the past month, he had seen too many births, old age, illness, and death, whether it was plants, animals, or humans. He had observed them carefully, feeling deeply, but his doubts grew more and more, even beginning to question his own beliefs.

Can mortals really achieve immortality?

This time, he originally wanted to ask about the path to immortality.

But when he saw the couplet at Li Nianfan's door, he was struck like a bolt of lightning, stopping in his tracks.

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

Isn't this talking about me?

A great person is a great person, probably having foreseen my question and written the answer on the door, waiting for my arrival.

Ten simple words, yet they contain the realm of immortality, like a sudden enlightenment, awakening Meng Junliang.

He sat there from morning until noon.

The sun was high in the sky, but he remained motionless, his eyes fixed on the couplet, sometimes gaining insights, sometimes seeming confused.

His thin robe hung loosely on his sides, and occasionally a gentle breeze blew, stirring the silk ribbon in his hair.

In the afternoon, Emperor Luo and Luo Shiyu rushed to the mountain, riding the wind in a hurry.

They had not slept all night, collecting all the spiritual medicines in the Immortal Dynasty as quickly as possible and rushing to offer them to the great person.

At this moment, Emperor Luo's face suddenly changed, and he said urgently, "Not good, there's a demonic aura ahead!"

Luo Shiyu's face also turned serious, worriedly asking, "Father, which direction are they going?"

"It seems to be heading towards the great person! And they are quite powerful, apparently two demon kings!"

Emperor Luo's face was very grim, his voice hoarse and urgent, "If they disturb the great person, I will be beyond redemption! Quickly, stop them!"

Emperor Luo and Luo Shiyu quickened their steps, rushing up the mountain.

A demon king is equivalent to a human at the Core Formation stage.

It's not a big deal for Emperor Luo, but if they disturb the great person's cultivation, and the great person leaves in anger, Emperor Luo will be devastated.

I was too lax, not having anyone guard here. The great person will surely punish me.

Emperor Luo felt extremely bitter, wanting to tear these two demon kings to pieces.

At the same time, the two demons had already reached the mountain waist, one with a bull's head, the other with a wolf's head, both looking at the nearby courtyard with a sinister gaze.
