Chapter 296: Chapter 260: Is Senior Li a Quasi-Saint?_1
The crops in the field were almost all planted.
“Heading back to the village!”
Everyone was packing up, ready to return.
The villagers were bustling and never-ending, supporting the old and carrying the young.
Some carried teapots, others shouldered wooden plows, and some carried hoes; a group of children, holding wooden swords shaved by sickles, were running happily ahead.
It was completely a picture of farmers returning to their mountain village.
It looked harmonious and lively.
But at this moment, walking among the crowd, following behind Li Fan, Ji Changming, Ji Qingke, and Ji Qingyue were sweating profusely from their foreheads!
“Grandpa, why do the wooden swords in those children’s hands feel so terrifying? Their aura seems to surpass the Immortal Path and are Saintly Dao Items!”
A child carrying a wooden sword ran past Ji Qingke, making her look nervous!
“The wood of that sword might be from a Sacred Ancient Tree… And it might have been carved with a Great Saint Power’s sickle!”
Ji Changming wiped off cold sweat!
“Elder, why do I feel that their teapots are all extraordinary, look, the tea they’re pouring out, doesn’t it feel comparable to Saint-grade Spirit Liquid?”
Ji Qingyue pointed at Uncle Wang from the village in shock!
Uncle Wang was pouring tea from a teapot onto the roadside because it was meant for drinking in the fields and couldn’t be kept after a day!
Ji Changming’s expression was one of shock as he said:
“The grade of that teapot, even I can’t see through… I’m afraid it surpasses that of Holy Dao Powers! And that tea… clearly Enlightenment Tea?”
“Heaven help us, he’s actually pouring it out?!”
Ji Changming felt waves of dizziness!
Too extravagant!
If it weren’t for the concern that there were Holy Path Beings all around, he would have really wanted to collect that spilled tea!
Just one leaf sold would shock a whole host of Holy Dao Powers!
Moreover, it could be brewed over and over for hundreds of years, enough to benefit a small clan!
Feeling a wave of heartache, he only had to turn his eyes away and stop looking!
Then they walked into the small mountain village.
Seeing a tree, Ji Qingke almost couldn’t move on.
Even Ji Qingyue, after seeing the few cabbage heads in the vegetable garden, couldn’t help but swallow saliva!
The grades of those cabbages, they couldn’t tell at all!
Does that mean they’re at least above Heavenly-grade Elixir?
—For Holy Dao Powers, Spiritual Medicines are graded too, and depending on the Saintly Way Law and Spiritual Energy they contain, they’re divided into Heaven, Earth, Mystical, Yellow, four levels!
Surpassing these four levels, they could be called Holy Medicine!
And Holy Medicine, even within Holy Dao Powers, only Holy Clans and above had the chance to acquire it!
Extremely terrifying!
Now, the three of them were completely shocked!
“Grandpa, what place is this… Didn’t you say this realm doesn’t even have a perfected Immortal Path, and that my brother Qingyue and I are the most powerful geniuses…”
Ji Qingke was almost questioning her life:
“I clearly feel that anything alive in this village, even a cabbage worm, could wipe me out…”
She was genuinely scared!
“Don’t, don’t be afraid…”
Ji Changming kept a calm appearance, but internally he was panicking a lot, forcing himself to stay calm and said:
“This senior probably doesn’t want to harm us, otherwise with just a thought, we would have died long ago!”
That was the only way he could comfort himself!
At these words, Ji Qingyue and Ji Qingke could only nod their heads.
Finally, they quickly arrived in front of Li Fan’s courtyard.
“We’ve arrived.”
Li Fan said with a smile.
Ji Changming and the other two looked up to see!
All three were hugely shaken!
“Is this… a whole world?”
Ji Qingyue muttered to himself.
“Such a terrifying presence, is this place almost entirely composed of Saintly Way Law?”
Ji Qingke was startled.
And Ji Changming’s old eyes were filled with astonishment!
Even the mysterious places of seclusion in the Ji Family were nowhere near this place!
“Please come in!”
Li Fan spoke indifferently!
Immediately, Ji Changming and the other two could only grit their teeth and follow him in.
Walking into the courtyard.
The very moment!
Ji Changming’s body suddenly stiffened!
At that instant!
He felt the oppressive might of myriads of Laws!
It was as if this world was filled with unspeakable terror!
He subconsciously glanced into the courtyard.
Chickens!
The pond!
The peach tree!
The spider…
Hissss!
In his old eyes, there was extreme horror!
So many Holy Path Beings?!
“Could it be a spiritual bird with the bloodline of a True Phoenix?
“Could it be a Saintly Giant Dragon that remained in the world, with the bloodline of a True Dragon?”
“Could it be the legendary Peach Tree, second only to the Pan Peach?”
He was completely dumbfounded, and even the dog tied up nearby seemed like the legendary Tiangou, or at least had the bloodline of a Tiangou!
True Phoenixes, True Dragons, and the like had long perished in the repeated calamities, and their mixed-blood descendants, which could be called the top beings of the Saintly Way, had only a few escape to a Secret Place!
Those in front of them clearly must possess part of the bloodline of those mythical creatures!
How could there be living ones here?
Who exactly is the master of this place?
He actually managed to have so many terrifying Holy Path Beings follow him?
His whole body was trembling, unable to bear it, and he directly fell to his knees with a step!
Only when he kneeled did he feel slightly better!
And Ji Qingyue felt even more so that, in this moment, the Sacred Stone Mirror in his embrace was trembling as if it too was afraid!
He understood… It was the spirit of the sacred relic that was in fear!
Heaven, what place is this?!
It must be known that treasures made by Great Saint Powers should not feel such fear, even in the face of such powers!
At this moment, he too could not help himself and knelt down!
Ji Qingke’s pale face showed her bewildered helplessness, and she had no choice but to kneel as well.
Upon seeing this, Li Fan was startled, Are they serious?
Wasn’t it just about retrieving a Stone Command passed down from their ancestors?
Was kneeling necessary?
Could it be that they were worried he would withhold the Stone Command or demand an exorbitant price to allow redemption?
It must be so!
Do they think so poorly of him? Did he seem so unapproachable?
Li Fan’s heart softened as well, after all, they had all kneeled down.
With a sigh, he said,
“Get up, no need to kneel.”
With those words!
Instantly, all three felt the panic and dread from the oppressive Myriad Dao vanish on the spot.
It was as if a mountain had been lifted off them, like a grand pardon!
Moreover, an inexplicable power made the three involuntarily stand up!
“Words follow law… the Words Follow Law of the Saintly Way!”
Ji Changming’s expression was shocked… This meant that the person before them possibly mastered Saint-level Rules?
Could it be that he was a Quasi-Saint?!
Frightening!
It must be known that such a high-ranking expert, even among the vast Holy Dao Powers, was a rare sight!
The three became even more reverent!
“Is this what you were looking for?”
Li Fan directly picked up the Stone Command that originally belonged to Ji Yuanqing from the stone table!
Seeing this, Ji Changming’s eyes lit up with excitement!
“Indeed, it’s the Primeval Stone Mandate, it’s really here!”
He was extremely excited and said,
“Yes, Senior, this is indeed what we were looking for… This relic was left by our ancestors!”
Seeing his excitement, Li Fan thought that this thing must be quite important to the Ji Family.
“Then take it.”
Li Fan handed it over indifferently.
After all, the butterfly in his system had already unlocked, and that item was completely useless to him.
For the Ji Family, it was an antique, but in Li Fan’s view, this Stone Command really had no value, with its rough craftsmanship and cheap materials, it was nothing special!
Seeing this, Ji Changming and the others were even more astounded.
This Quasi-Saint-level powerhouse was actually returning the Stone Command intact?
Ji Changming’s heart was instantly filled with doubts!
Why did the Stone Command appear here?
And why was this Senior returning it to them?
“May I ask Senior, how did this Stone Command come into your possession?”
He asked with trepidation!
It shouldn’t have been obtained by this being through forceful means; if that were the case, they wouldn’t be returning it…
Li Fan said with a smile,
“It was brought by someone of your lineage, entrusted to me for safekeeping for a few days.”
He thought to himself, although Ji Yuanqing had “sold” the item to him, if he told these relatives of Ji Yuanqing that Ji Yuanqing had sold off their family heirloom, Ji Yuanqing would be shamed.
It was better to cover up for him a bit.
Hearing this, Ji Changming’s expression shifted dramatically!
Recalling their journey through the chaotic timelines and their return, when they were ambushed by the Ancient Clan, he instantly understood something.
The people from the Ancient Clan left in this world likely made a move against the Ji Family!
And the Ji Family, with no other choice, could only ask this Senior for protection!
It must be so.
Accordingly, it means this Senior is a friend, not a foe, to the Ji Family!
He was instantly overjoyed!
“Now, it should be returned to its rightful owner.”
Li Fan handed it over with indifference.
Immediately, Ji Changming stepped forward with utmost respect and immense gratitude to receive it!
This Stone Command was also very important to the Ji Family, something that had to be reclaimed!
“Senior, for this grace, the Ji Family will take note and surely repay it in the future!”
Ji Changming promised!
Li Fan just smiled, and then remembered something, he said,
“Oh right, I also have three other Stone Commands here, but those three are extremely crude; I’ve thrown them in the trash can. If you want them, you can take those too.”
Upon hearing this, the three, Ji Changming included, were instantly shocked!
Three other Stone Commands???
They all thought of something and couldn’t help but rush to the corner, looking into the trash can.
Seeing the scene inside the trash can…
They fell silent!
