Chapter 79

The three elders and Old Sun were all taken aback, their eyes heavy as they looked at the bowl of soup.

Immediately after, they couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and take a gentle sip.

"Slurp!"

With a draw of their lips, the soup flowed into their mouths, accompanied by a tremor.

Instantly, their mouths watered!

The four of them smacked their lips simultaneously, emitting a satisfied hum.

Then, without any further ado, they lifted the bowls and poured the soup into their mouths like mad.

Gulp, gulp.

The entire room was filled only with the sound of them swallowing the soup.

Some of them drank so hastily that the soup dripped down their beards, but before it could fall, they caught it with their hands and stuffed it back into their mouths.

Delicious, so delicious!

They almost forgot everything, their minds filled with only one thought: "Eat it, eat it!"

Soon, after finishing the bowl of soup, they all let out a long sigh.

To be able to drink this soup, this life... has not been in vain!

The Great Elder looked at Lin Mufeng in shock and couldn't help but say, "Pavilion Master, this soup..."

Lin Mufeng smiled slightly and raised his hand to stop him, "Don't speak, just feel it."

The four of them were slightly stunned, then their pupils suddenly widened.

They felt their spiritual energy start to surge, and their minds became clear, as if... they were listening to the sound of the Dao!

The sound of the Dao!

This soup actually contains the sound of the Dao?

Incredible!

Unbelievable!

Their hearts began to beat rapidly, and their blood started to flow faster.

However, there was no time for shock now. They all closed their eyes and hurriedly absorbed the Dao sound and spiritual energy.

A moment later, the Great Elder was the first to come to his senses. He rushed to the takeaway box at the fastest speed he had ever achieved and quickly served himself another bowl.

"Great Elder, you're not being fair! We agreed to share the soup!"

The Second Elder followed closely behind, quickly serving himself a bowl as well.

The Third Elder and Old Sun woke up at the same time and immediately panicked.

Their comprehension speed couldn't match the Great Elder's, so they naturally drank less soup.

Biting their teeth and determined, they decided to drink first and worry about comprehension later!

"Huff, huff!"

The four of them drank with their mouths full of oil, not even lifting their heads.

"Slow down, leave me a sip!"

Old Sun's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly said, "What are you doing? I'm the guest! How can you compete with me? Put it down quickly!"

The Second Elder, while drinking the soup, said, "You still remember you're a guest? Get lost, we don't welcome you here!"

"Yes, put the soup down quickly, this isn't for you!" The Third Elder nodded in agreement.

Old Sun, furious, puffed out his cheeks and glared, "Then don't blame me for taking it by force!"

...

A box of soup was quickly divided among the four old men, not even a bone fragment was left. They almost fought over the last sip.

"Ah, comfortable, I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time."

The four of them all smiled contentedly. This bowl of soup was worth more than immortality and enlightenment.

At this moment, the Great Elder looked at the takeaway box with surprise, his eyebrows slightly raised, "This box... is not simple!"

The others also focused their attention on the takeaway box, their expressions thoughtful.

The Second Elder took a deep breath and said solemnly, "It's one thing to keep the soup warm, but to preserve the spiritual energy and the sound of the Dao, such a treasure is rare in the entire cultivation world."

"Pavilion Master, did this box also come from a high person?" the Third Elder asked in shock.

Lin Mufeng, now realizing the extraordinariness of the takeaway box, couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "Yes, the high person casually gave it to me, and he seemed to... disdain it."

Disdain?

That's right, who is this high person? This box is a treasure to us, but to him, it might be a mere trifle.

A big shot!

An unparalleled big shot!

They couldn't believe that their Pavilion Master had received so many divine items on his first visit to a high person. They had been somewhat reluctant to give the Dharma Relic to the high person, but now they secretly praised their Pavilion Master's wisdom.

It was this sincerity that earned the high person's friendly treatment, and their path was indeed not as broad as the Pavilion Master's!

"Old Lin, where did you get such precious soup?" Old Sun couldn't help but look at Lin Mufeng and asked in surprise, "Do you know some high person?"

Lin Mufeng smiled slightly and shook his head, "Can't say, can't say."

Without the high person's permission, he dared not reveal his identity casually.

Old Sun also understood the gravity of the situation and didn't ask further. He sighed lightly, filled with envy, "To meet such a high person is a tremendous opportunity. The opportunity I mentioned is insignificant to you."

Lin Mufeng asked curiously, "You really came to give me an opportunity? What is it?"

"The location is in the Izumo Mountains. A secret realm recently opened there. I came to invite you to join me and try our luck, to see if we can find any opportunities," Old Sun said directly.

He had no intention of hiding it, especially since he had already enjoyed so much precious soup and gained a true great opportunity!

"Is that so? You still thought of me for such a good thing, you have a bit of conscience," Lin Mufeng said with a smile.

The opening of a secret realm usually doesn't cause much commotion, and only a few nearby cultivators can sense it. Whether one encounters it depends on luck. Moreover, the number of treasures in a secret realm is limited, so most people keep it a secret.

No one knows how a secret realm forms or why it opens, but it can be guessed that it is mostly the place where ancient greats secluded themselves or lived in seclusion.

Old Sun said, "Now that you have met such a high person, the secret realm is more like a trifle to you. I will remember the favor of the soup and take my leave."

Although the secret realm offers opportunities, it also comes with tests and traps, and one must compete with others, making it extremely dangerous. Given Lin Mufeng's status, it would be inappropriate for him to take such risks.

"Izumo Mountains, Izumo Mountains..." He muttered, trying to grasp something.

Seeing Old Sun about to leave, he hurriedly asked, "Old Sun, which direction is the Izumo Mountains?"

Old Sun pointed to the northwest and said, "It's over there. What? Are you interested?"

Lin Mufeng followed Old Sun's finger and his mind suddenly exploded.

I get it!

I get it!

That direction is the same one Li Gongzi was looking at when he mentioned the refrigerator!

The hint was here all along!

Ha ha ha, the heavens are helping me!

It seems Li Gongzi has already calculated everything. The opening of the secret realm might be related to him, and the refrigerator he wants is likely in the secret realm!

Li Gongzi truly is a divine being!

I must complete the task he entrusted to me!
