Chapter 184 - Golden Bee. Honey Is Good.
Lin Mufeng was very excited!
However, Li Nianfan merely looked at it dully and shook his head with disappointment.
He thought he would be able to find some precious treasure in this Immortal Relic. Perhaps something like an Elixir or a Spiritual Herb.
‘Sigh, I was hoping to discover some treasure that could help me become a cultivator! But there are only two items here? How stingy!’
Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun had been closely observing Li Nianfan’s facial expression. When they saw him shaking his head and looking disappointed, they were extremely shocked!
Was that a look of…disdain?
As expected, this item was nowhere close to Li Nianfan’s standards! He did not even bother giving it a second look!
Li Nianfan said, “Brother Lin, hurry up and keep this.”
Lin Mufeng’s heart thumped. He swallowed and tried his best to repress his excitement, “I won’t say no to this, then!”
Li Nianfan could not help smiling. “Of course, you don’t have to. This belongs to you. I only came here with you to look around.”
Lin Mufeng understood Li Nianfan’s taboo. He nodded and walked toward the long sword, pulling it out from the stone with excitement.
Instantly, flashes of light appeared all around them, projecting on the wall beside them.
A string of words appeared.
‘My sword can kill an Immortal!’
What an arrogant statement!
Li Nianfan looked at it calmly. He was not impressed by it because he saw this statement too often in his previous realm.
The Immortal Relic was not only stingy, it was making such a fuss!
‘So what if you can kill an Immortal? If you change it to ‘My sword can turn one into an Immortal’, then I’ll be impressed,’ he thought.
Lin Mufeng was impressed by the line of words, but after seeing the expression on Li Nianfan’s face, he did not show too much emotion and quickly kept the items away.
Both his hands were trembling with excitement.
Following the expert did have many advantages! Perhaps even a hair he tossed away would be the most precious treasure anyone could only dream of!
‘From now on, I want to become the expert’s number one dog. Nobody can talk me out of it!’
Li Nianfan looked around, seemingly unperturbed. However, he narrowed his eyes.
“Hmm?
“Is there another chamber in there?”
Lin Mufeng and Lin QIngyun said instantly, “Mr. Li, why don’t we go and have a look?”
LI Nianfan nodded. “Alright.”
The cave was very spacious. There was no light in it. Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun took the lead. They walked into the smaller chamber.
After walking for twenty meters or so, the narrow path opened up.
There was water, flower clusters, green plants, and flourishing trees. There was even sunlight coming in, giving one a sense of paradise.
Splash!
Looking above, there was a fountain at the highest point of the valley. It was not that striking, but it was still impressive.
Lin Qingyun could not help exclaiming, “Who would’ve thought there’d be a paradise in here!”
Lin Mufeng smiled. “It’s not strange at all. Since it’s an Immortal Relic, it means that an Immortal used to live here. They can’t just live in that cage, right?”
Li Nianfan looked around and analyzed. “This is probably a mountain by the Clear Moon Lake. They emptied the mountain and turned it into the cage. What an Immortal. It’s nice being powerful.”
Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun were surprised. “I see. Mr. Li’s observant indeed. You can see through anything with just one look. How clever!”
So humble! Praising his competitor now, eh?
Li Nianfan smiled. Just as he was about to continue, he heard a soft hum. He looked around and realized that bees were flying around.
He was delighted. He reached out without hesitation and gently squeezed a single bee with two fingers.
He sized it up in front of him.
As a Saint-farmer, catching a bee was a small deal. He then noticed that the bee was different from ordinary bees. Its head was slightly bigger, and although its outlook seemed ordinary, its wings were golden. It looked cool when it was flying as it reflected golden light. Furthermore, its stinger was bright red. What a terrifying sight!
The father and daughter were acting normal until they saw the bee between Li Nianfan’s fingers. Their pupils dilated and they froze. Their scalps were itching as if they saw something unbelievable!
This… This was…
Golden Bee?
Their hearts throbbed as they rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They took another look.
They gasped.
It was indeed a Golden Bee!
This was a rare species!
An extremely fierce species that had stingers filled with fire poison. Even an Immortal had to stay away from it. Yet, Li Nianfan captured it with two fingers without even the slightest fear?
They always knew Li Nianfan was powerful, but when they saw this sight, they were still very shocked. They held their breaths.
It was like seeing a bigshot fighting another bigshot. It was a shocking sight that was beyond words.
They looked at the courtyard full of Golden Bees. The last traces of rationality left in them kept them from running away.
So terrifying! This was not the place for humans to stay!
Li Nianfan played with the bee for a while before loosening his fingers to let it go. He said with a surprised tone, “I can’t believe there are bees in here!”
Instantly, he looked around and his gaze fell on a tall tree not too far away. A beehive bigger than a human’s head was hanging high up there, very eye-catching.
He could not help licking his tongue. “I wonder if there are bees inside the beehive?”
Bees were good. How did he forget about them before? He should catch some!
Although there was nothing useful in this Immortal Relic, if he could bring home some bees, this trip would not be wasted.
Another hint!
The expert dropped a hint!
However, this hint was risky!
Lin Mufeng’s heart tightened as his mind went blank after a loud humming. He forced a terrible smile that looked even worse than a cry. Biting his lip, he said, “Mr. Li, you want some honey?”
Li Nianfan nodded. “Yeah, honey’s good. I haven’t tasted it for a long time.”
‘Of course, we know honey’s good!
‘The point is…these are Golden Bees!’
Even if an Immortal was stung by a Golden Bee, the fire poison would attack the heart and put one in danger. If anyone below an Immortal was stung by a Golden Bee, the person would be dead instantly.
However, in contrast to how terrifying Golden Bees were, the Golden Bees’ honey was good!
It was not just for healing, but drinking it over a long time would be able to change and improve one’s body!
Listening to the tone of the expert, it was obvious that he used to drink Golden Bees’ honey in the past!
What a bigshot!
Lin Mufeng took a deep breath and made up his mind. He bit his lip and said, “If Mr. Li would like to drink some honey, why don’t I help you get some?”
“That’d be great, thank you.” Li Nianfan did not reject his offer. To him, it was merely catching some bees, so it must be easy for the cultivators to do so.
Li Nianfan took out a square bucket with a lid on and handed it to Lin Mufeng. “Right, just use this square bucket to cover up the beehive. Don’t hurt them, I want to raise them at home.”
The expert wanted to raise Golden Bees!?
A bigshot living in a bigshot world indeed!
Lin Mufeng accepted the square bucket with his trembling hands. He seemed calm on the surface but he was terrified inside. He held on to his tears and his voice turned hoarse as he said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Li. Please, wait a moment. I’ll get it done quickly.”
