Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

At this moment, on the square table in front of Cao Fangcun, a pot of fine wine was already placed.

Although it was not opened, dazzling spiritual light faintly appeared in the jade pot, indicating that it was an extremely precious spiritual wine.

Cao Fangcun sat down on a futon in front of the table and gestured to Chen Tian, "Brother Yang, please don't stand on ceremony. Sit down quickly, let's drink to our heart's content."

However, Chen Tian did not make any movements after hearing this. His gaze was fixed on the pot of fine wine that was flashing with spiritual light.

Seeing this, Cao Fangcun couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise in his heart. He raised the wine pot, shook it slightly, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong, Brother Yang? Could it be that you dislike my Dragon's Roar Brew for being too low-grade?"

"Of course not, Brother Cao, you misunderstood." Hearing Cao Fangcun's words, Chen Tian hurriedly shook his head and said, "Brother Cao, this wine is radiant and fragrant. One look is enough to tell that it's not ordinary. It's just…"

"Just what? Brother Yang, please speak frankly, there's no need to be polite with me." Seeing Chen Tian's hesitant appearance, Cao Fangcun's doubts deepened.

Hearing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Cao, you don't know, I just had a drink a moment ago, but the taste of that drink… was very bitter…"

"A very bitter wine?" Hearing Chen Tian's puzzling words, Cao Fangcun couldn't help but frown. However, he quickly seemed to have thought of something and nodded, "Alright, it seems that Brother Yang is not suitable for drinking now, so let's change to something else and have tea instead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Fangcun lightly flicked his sleeves, and the pot of fine wine on the table disappeared, replaced by a pot of clear tea with wisps of heat rising from it.

"Thank you for your consideration, Brother Cao."

Seeing this, Chen Tian finally stopped insisting. After thanking him, he also sat cross-legged on the futon.

"Haha, it was Cao who stopped Brother Yang. As the host, I should naturally treat my guests well. Brother Yang, please don't say that, otherwise, I would be ashamed."

This Cao Fangcun seemed to be a very interesting person, taking all the responsibility onto himself.

Putting down the wine cup, the two looked at each other and smiled, with a sense of mutual appreciation.

Just at this moment, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, Brother Cao, I have always had a question, can I ask you about it?"

"Hey, Brother Yang, you don't have to be polite, just say whatever you want." Cao Fangcun said with a hearty laugh while pouring tea into Chen Tian's cup.

Hearing this, Chen Tian pondered for a while, and finally said, "If I'm not mistaken, the ones who were studying in Brother Yang's school just now should all be fox demons, right?"

This question had been lingering in Chen Tian's heart since just now, making him unable to hold it back.

"Brother Yang asks well." Cao Fangcun put down the teapot in his hand, raised his head to look at Chen Tian, and smiled, "Actually, you guessed right. Those children are indeed transformed from foxes in the nearby mountains."

"Then why does Brother Yang teach those foxes to read?" Seeing that Cao Fangcun admitted it, Chen Tian asked again.

Hearing this, Cao Fangcun suddenly grinned and laughed, "I think all things in the world are the same, whether they are humans, demons, or monsters. After all, in the face of the Heavenly Dao, we are all as weak as ants, so instead of fighting, it is better to get along peacefully. The reason why I teach those foxes to read and write, and impart to them our human thoughts and morals, is to hope that one day they can integrate into us, and the world will be united."

"The world united?" Hearing Cao Fangcun say these four words, Chen Tian's eyes flickered slightly, and then he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid Brother Cao is thinking too beautifully. You should know that in the current world situation, the demon race, the demon race, and our human race are constantly fighting each other. Although this 'world united' is easy to say, it is really difficult to do. Brother Cao, don't end up with nothing to show for it."

While saying this, Chen Tian raised the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Cao Fangcun.

Looking at the tea constantly flowing out of the teapot, Cao Fangcun's expression did not seem to change in any way. He just smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps what Brother Yang said is true, it is very difficult to achieve 'world united', but I will not change my original intention, I will still continue to work hard for this ideal and do what I can."

To Chen Tian's surprise, Cao Fangcun's will seemed to be extremely tenacious. Even knowing that this was an impossible task, he remained unmoved.

Seeing this, a strange look suddenly flashed in Chen Tian's eyes, and his gaze towards Cao Fangcun couldn't help but change.

"Why is Brother Yang staring at me? Could it be that there is something on my face?" Looking at Chen Tian's somewhat absent-minded appearance, Cao Fangcun touched his face and chuckled.

Hearing this, Chen Tian seemed to wake up suddenly, raised the teacup in front of him, and smiled, "Haha, alright, let's not talk about those things, I'll offer Brother Cao another cup."

"Okay, Brother Yang, please."

The two exchanged polite words, and then simultaneously drank the tea in their cups.

Only after putting down the wine cup, the smile on Chen Tian's face gradually faded, he raised his head to look at Cao Fangcun, and said in a serious tone, "Alright, Brother Cao, now you should tell me your intentions, right?"

"What intentions? Isn't it just to chat with you, Brother Yang?" Cao Fangcun still pretended to be ignorant after hearing this, and perfunctorily said.

However, he could no longer deceive Chen Tian with this appearance. Chen Tian's expression gradually darkened, and his voice was calm but full of endless power, "Brother Cao, there is no need to act anymore. I, Yang, am not a pushover, and I won't believe that you took so much effort to stop me, just to come here to drink tea and chat. Tell me, what is your real intention?"

Seeing Chen Tian's serious appearance, Cao Fangcun knew that he could no longer hide it from Chen Tian, so he sighed lightly, raised his head to look at him, and chuckled, "If I'm not mistaken, Brother Yang is currently trying to break through the凝海境(Ninghai Realm), is that right?"

Hearing this, Chen Tian's expression changed slightly. After humming for a while, he nodded and said, "That's right, so what?"

"Haha, Brother Yang, don't be nervous." Cao Fangcun laughed and said, "I just want to give you a gift, I wonder if you want it?"
