Chapter 127: Chapter 118 Encounter in the Huangtian Realm_1
Upon hearing Li Fan’s instruction, Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang both froze for a moment.
Were they being sent?
“I get it… Does master think that our cultivation has progressed too slowly and wants us to go there to seize an opportunity?”
Dugu Yuqing had a revelation and immediately said with great joy, “As you command!”
However, Lu Rang was somewhat reluctant and, looking at the grass he had planted, said, “Master… can I bring my grass with me?”
“I would like to take care of them on the way while leaving!”
Hearing this, Li Fan felt a toothache coming on.
This peculiar disciple, even thinking of taking grass with him when he leaves?
He was truly at a loss for words.
Li Fan waved his hand and said, “Do whatever you like.”
Lu Rang was thrilled, and he began looking for something, finally finding a broken clay pot. Using this pot, he transplanted the grass into it, tied it up, and carried it on his back.
Dugu Yuqing, on the other hand, was simply dressed, intending to bring only paper and a pen.
But when he reached for the pen, he hesitated!
Because the pen given by the master was far too formidable; once in battle, he wouldn’t dare to use it carelessly as a single stroke would drain all his strength!
“Master, I would like to take a pen with me, but I really can’t control this one…” he said.
Li Fan was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this.
That was true, his pen, gifted by the system, was something he himself found a bit heavy at first.
In the outside world, when competing in calligraphy, if long and continuous writing was required, it would actually be a disadvantage for Dugu Yuqing!
“Wait a moment!”
After saying that, Li Fan headed straight for the chicken coop.
Everyone watched him with puzzled expressions.
But the very next moment, they were all stunned!
For Li Fan walked right up to an old hen, picked it up, and plucked a handful of feathers from its leg!
“Heaven… is that… is that the legendary… and he just plucks its feathers like that?”
Xinning’s eyes were wide open in shock.
“It’s terrifying, such a legendary creature does not dare to resist at all in his hands and can only allow itself to be plucked…”
Gong Ya Demon Marshal also felt a tremor in his heart.
After plucking the feathers, Li Fan put down the old hen and casually picked up a piece of bamboo. In just a few moments, he had crafted a new feather brush!
“This feather brush is much lighter than the one from your teacher; give it a try,” Li Fan said with a smile as he handed it over to Dugu Yuqing.
Dugu Yuqing took it with trembling hands.
Holding it, he indeed felt a fiery energy, as if holding flames!
“A feather brush… this is clearly a Phoenix brush, probably it could even be listed among the ranks of the Immortal Soldiers…”
Hearing Li Fan’s description, Gong Ya felt like going mad.
That was a true feather of the divine fowl Phoenix…
And now it had been crafted into a brush, and moreover, made personally by such a fearsome being as Li Fan… the value and power of this pen were immeasurable!
With a gentle stroke from Dugu Yuqing, a terrifying and invisible force of fire seemed to spread out instantly!
This pen contained a terrifying fiery energy!
And he could use it relatively easily!
Considering it a treasure, Dugu Yuqing gratefully said, “Thank you, Master, thank you!”
The other disciples, upon seeing Dugu Yuqing receive the divine pen personally bestowed by Li Fan, all showed signs of envy in their eyes.
But Li Fan shookhis head and said, “No need for thanks,”
“Go to the study and take with you the Sunset Painting I made.”
Although Dugu Yuqing’s calligraphy skills were somewhat mature compared to those outside, facing a real expert would likely result in defeat.
Hence, he needed to bring something to bolster his confidence.
On hearing this, Dugu Yuqing was overjoyed. The master was bestowing treasures for his journey, a safeguard!
Now there was nothing to worry about!
He hurried to fetch it.
“Ahem,”
Before leaving, Li Fan added, “On this trip, if you encounter some seedlings willing to seek the path, feel free to bring them back. I still have some minor techniques I wish to teach, lacking a few heirs.”
He tried to keep calm as he continued, “Preferably, find someone like you, with… with some special hobbies.”
Those without any particular hobbies… he wasn’t really inclined to accept them.
What he knew were all kinds of unconventional things, other than calligraphy, painting, playing music, there were things like pig feeding, blacksmithing… and the like.
The reason he asked Lu Rang to go was because he wanted this loudmouth to use his specialty, hoping he could swindle a few to bring back; that would be the best outcome.
The disciples were all shocked at the words.
Master still had some minor techniques?
“The minor techniques spoken by Master must be some terrifying great paths again…” Dugu Yuqing muttered to himself.
“The master has taught music, painting, calligraphy, farming, and various other great paths… and now, he still needs disciples. Truly, he is a scholar that knows everything under heaven…” Long Zixuan lamented.
“The Great Sage of the Brahman Path can do anything…” Qing Chen admired even more.
“Don’t worry, Master; I will definitely bring back some people who meet your expectations!” Lu Rang was already rubbing his hands together, his eyes shining.
Both of them left with Fire Spirit and the rest.
Watching their departing figures, Gong Ya stood behind Li Fan with a complex expression, her beautiful eyes filled with envy!
If she could learn any of the minor techniques from this senior… it would be beneficial for a lifetime… Unfortunately, she didn’t have such good fortune, only to serve here as a maid!
“Gong Ya, you might only be a maid, but there are some things you shouldn’t neglect to learn, such as this art of tea. Your skills are sorely lacking,” Li Fan suddenly said, looking at her and adding, “Come, I’ll teach you how to brew tea.”
Upon hearing this, Gong Ya was instantly shocked and then overjoyed!
Had this senior finally seen through her thirsty heart and was willing to teach her something?
Serving as a handmaiden for a significant figure was indeed rewarding!!
“Yes… Thankyou, thank you, Senior!”
Her speech was even stammering!
Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing, following Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, left the small mountain village.
Dugu Yuqing, dressed in white garments, looked quite elegant, while Lu Rang, with his dark skin, carried a pot of grass on his back, presenting a rather bizarre appearance.
They soon arrived at Taiyan Holy Land.
As soon as they reached Taiyan Holy Land, Yuanyang Saint Lord and the others had already come out to meet them. Saint Lord Lingchao said, “Has there been any response from Senior Li?”
Fire Spirit replied, “Senior Li has dispatched two of his disciples to Huangtian State!”
Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were also overjoyed.
Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang, they are not strangers to them.
Lu Rang previously appeared alongside Long Zixuan, and a single chopstick killed a True Immortal, leaving a fresh memory in their minds; while Dugu Yuqing, being the legitimate son of the Dugu Family, was already known to them.
“That’s great! Let’s immediately open the Teleportation Array, moreover, let us escort the two Young Masters to Huangtian State!”
Yuanyang Holy Lord said.
“No need,”
But Dugu Yuqing just smiled and replied, “My fellow brother and I can go by ourselves, there’s no need to trouble the seniors.”
Hearing this, Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were taken aback, but they soon understood.
“The disciples sent by Senior Li, how terrifying their strength must be, how could they need our escort? Our company would only be a burden to them!”
They all came to a realization and immediately said, “Very well! This way, please, Young Masters!”
Shortly after, they were already beside the Teleportation Array.
Following the coordinates left by Ji Yuanqing, Saint Lord Lingchao and the others started up the grand array!
Soon, the mystical rules of space began to manifest, and Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang stepped on it, immediately vanishing from sight.
“With Senior Li’s disciples sent out, we need not worry about the matter in Huangtian State anymore!”
Saint Lord Lingchao appeared completely at ease.
“However, that Lu Rang is quite strange, actually carrying a pot of grass…”
Cihang Saint Lord then voiced his puzzlement.
“Grass?”
Dugu Chenlu let out a long sigh and said, “That grass… its might is terrifying beyond belief! Each blade of grass contains fearsome Sword Qi…”
“In the face of that grass… even a Heavenly Immortal would have to be cautious!”
Everyone was taken aback!
Huangtian Realm.
In a mountain range somewhere, space twisted and warped.
Then, a light hole suddenly appeared, and two young men stumbled out of it.
“Damn it… this space array really makes one dizzy…”
Lu Rang vomited outright in the air.
Tossed and turned within the space tunnel, he just couldn’t take it anymore.
Dugu Yuqing’s face was also somewhat pale; he could have held it in, but once Lu Rang vomited, he couldn’t help it either.
“Bleurgh—”
Both men were retching violently!
Just at that moment.
In this expanse of Sky Domain, a massive space airship was approaching.
Aboard the airship were a group of handsome men and beautiful women!
Each of these young people possessed extraordinary auras.
At this moment, a young man with an appearance as refined as jade was chatting with two maidens, his smile as warm as a spring breeze, and said:
“Miss Qing Lan, I noticed you haven’t been smiling during our journey, is Duanmu not being a gracious host?”
He was looking at one of the young women in a white dress, frosty in temperament but boasting a beauty that could topple cities and states, her skin fair as cream, and a pair of eyes like a pair of scissors cutting through the fog.
The other maiden was dressed in a green Luo skirt, appearing mischievous and cute. At the young man’s words, she wrinkled her nose, apparently not too fond of him.
“You flatter me, Young Master Duanmu.”
The girl in the white dress, Qing Lan, responded indifferently.
“Unhappy beauties make my heart uneasy…”
The young man, however, smiled and waved his hand; a middle-aged man carrying a pot of wine and three cups approached.
He casually poured the wine and said, “This is the Divine Brew from the Duanmu Family, it has calming effects and can also help one in understanding the Way… I think both ladies must be somewhat fatigued, why not have a cup to relieve the weariness?”
He offered the fragrant drinks to the two maidens before him.
A glint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
“This Divine Brew is from the Duanmu Family, we accept no reward without merit, my sister and I thank Young Master Duanmu,”
Qing Lan, however, refused.
“Miss Qing Lan, why keep others at arm’s length?”
The young man still persisted.
The maiden in green suddenly pointed ahead and said:
“Duanmu Yang, do you see the people vomiting in front of us? Can you still drink with that in view?”
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Yang turned his head to look forward.
Indeed, in the space ahead, there were two individuals who were furiously retching!
And notably, these two were… vomiting in mid-air!
The scene was somewhat grotesquely picturesque!
“What the…”
Duanmu Yang stared at the sight and nearly ended up retching too.
“Stop, stop!”
He quickly yelled, “Steer clear of those disgusting fellows ahead!”
The airship immediately came to a halt and prepared to change course.
But just at that moment, the two young men in the space ahead, one of whom was carrying a pot of grass, shouted aloud:
“Hold on!”
“May I ask if you are headed to the Burial Immortal Mountain Range?”
“Give my brother and me a lift!”
