Turns Out I’m a Great Cultivator

In the courtyard.

Li Nianfan was holding a blue and white porcelain cup with tea brewing in it, stroked the lid of the cup very carefully, then blew a breath into the cup, and took a slow sip.

He said with emotion in his mouth: "It's winter, it's still comfortable to drink a sip of hot tea. This season basically bid farewell to popsicles and happy water."

Of course, this sentence is not applicable to the two brats, Nannan and Long'er, who are licking a popsicle in their mouths.

At this moment, Long'er seemed to remember something, and said, "Brother, the gourd vine in the backyard has produced another gourd."

"Oh, is it so?"

Li Nianfan put down his teacup, and then walked towards the backyard.

"It's really grown!" With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked closer, but saw a golden gourd hanging on the gourd vine.

The golden halo reflected the light in the sunlight. It was about the same size as the purple gold gourd on Li Nianfan's waist, but the shape was not the same. This kind of golden gourd looks very good. At first glance, it would definitely look like an ornament made of gold.

Li Nianfan took it off and weighed it in his hand, but he didn't feel much weight.

"The ability of this gourd and vine to form gourds is amazing. Could it be some kind of powerful spiritual plant?"

Li Nianfan had a sudden thought, "This is the seed given to me by Fairy Gu. It's normal for the gourd it produces to be somewhat extraordinary. It's fine, but it shouldn't be too awesome."

Back in the courtyard, Li Nianfan was thinking about what to do with the golden gourd.

"Squeak."

The courtyard door opened.

Daji and Huofeng walked in quietly.

Li Nianfan couldn't help laughing and said, "You two, have you sneaked out to play like crazy?"

"Hee hee, son, we brought you something back."

Daji smiled, then raised her hand, took out the golden stone, and handed it to Li Nianfan.

"Gold?" Li Nianfan was slightly taken aback, took the stone and looked it up in his hand.

"It's quite heavy, denser than gold!" Li Nianfan frowned slightly, then turned the stone over in his hand, and looked carefully under the sun.

The surface of this stone is very smooth. Although it has no edges and corners, it is not regular at all. The lines are crooked and undulating, but it does not look messy, and it is somewhat comfortable.

Li Nianfan asked curiously, "Where did you get it?"

Daji said: "I feel a little interesting, so I exchanged it with someone."

"It's really interesting. I don't know if this stone is formed naturally or acquired." Li Nianfan nodded with a smile, "It's quite amazing."

He put away the stone, and couldn't help but said: "Little Daji, I found out that after you started cultivating immortals, you couldn't be idle."

Daji's cheeks were slightly red, and she said shyly, "I just want to do more things to relieve my son's boredom."

"Hahaha, it's human nature, don't talk about you, even I can't be idle now." Li Nianfan laughed heartily and said: "I'm so capable, I don't like to stick to one place anymore, if I'm bored all the time This courtyard house is not beautiful."

The world of cultivating immortals is underdeveloped and dangerous everywhere. He was just a mortal before, so naturally he could only stay in one place, and he was active around the courtyard, Jingyue Lake, and Luoxian City. Now he has become a member of the Youyun clan. Can't stay idle.

Thinking of this, Li Nianfan couldn't help but rejoice, luckily he became the sacrament of merit, otherwise it would be difficult for him to force Daji to accompany him to nest in this small courtyard.

Daji hastily said, "My lord, this courtyard is the most beautiful place in the world, even if I can stay here forever, I'm willing to enjoy it!"

The tone is sincere and the voice is extremely real.

Long'er and Nannan were also taken aback, thinking that Li Nianfan was going to drive them away, tears welled up in their eyes, they quickly ran over and hugged Li Nianfan's thigh, "So are we, brother's courtyard is bigger than the whole world combined It's a hundred times better! We will definitely not run around in the future!"

"What nonsense?" Li Nianfan was amused, and felt very touched in his heart. He scratched their noses and said with a smile, "How can a small courtyard house compare with the vast and vast world outside? Canary trapped in The cage is still depressed, let alone a character like us who can soar through the nine heavens?"

He stood up and continued: "Actually, I can't be idle anymore, why don't you form a group and go out to have fun."

This is the same as ordinary people who have a car or don’t have a car. When they don’t have a car, they can only be bored in one place, but if they have a car, it’s convenient.

"Going out to play? Really!"

Nannan and Long'er suddenly regained their spirits, laughing until their teeth bared.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Let me think about where to go first."

I used to wait for guests to come to my door, but now I can take the initiative to go out to play. This moment shows the importance of network, because I have a lot of friends, there are many places to go, and I can visit old friends.

I just went to the Carp Palace some time ago, so I won’t go, and the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty is too close, so I don’t want to go, and... Linxian Dao Palace, Qingyun Valley, or Xia Dynasty.

"By the way, let's go to Xia Dynasty! Let's take an instant trip."

Li Nianfan's eyes lit up slightly, "Look at how Zhou Yunwu has organized the country, and Meng Junliang, isn't he going to open a school? I have to go and see!"

Moreover, the Xia Dynasty is a country of mortals, looking at the people in it will make Li Nianfan feel more cordial.

Long'er and Nannan didn't care where they went to play, they just nodded without thinking, "Okay, okay."

Daji also smiled and said, "I'll listen to you, Young Master."

"Then let's go." Li Nianfan's body began to condense with the light of merit, "Come, come, go to the clouds, take off."

Golden auspicious clouds soared out of the courtyard and shot straight into the sky.

We were all our own people, so Li Nianfan naturally couldn't treat them badly, so the golden auspicious cloud swelled enormously, it could be called Fang Yun, it was more than enough for everyone to lie down.

There are meritorious deeds and self-willedness.

On the cloud, Li Nianfan's thoughts moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Little Daji, you gave me a golden stone, and a golden gourd just grew on my side, this is fate, do you like this gourd?"

Daji looked at the golden gourd, and there was a flash of light in her beautiful eyes. She could feel that the gourd was extremely important to her, and said, "I like it."

Li Nianfan smiled, "As long as you like it, I'll give it to you."

"This..." Daji took the gourd flattered, and moved, "Thank you, thank you young master."

Her eyes were beautiful, but at this moment, her smile formed a line. The eyeliner was very long, which made her look a lot more charming, which made Li Nianfan's heart beat faster.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Why are you being polite to me?"

After a pause, he continued: "Okay, since you have nothing to do, why don't you come and play my latest game together."

While speaking, Li Nianfan took out a stack of square wooden strips from his pocket. The wooden strips were very thin and exquisitely crafted. They were not hardwood, but soft wood that could be bent and felt very good.

In the past few days, everyone knew that Li Nianfan was tinkering with this thing, but after looking at it for a long time, they couldn't see why. They just guessed in their hearts that this thing must be extraordinary.

Nannan asked curiously, "Brother Nianfan, what kind of game is this?"

She looked at the wooden bar and found that there were very strange stripes engraved on it, which she couldn't understand at all.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Poker is a very simple game, you can master it as soon as I teach you."

Speaking of which, he is also helpless.

Li Nianfan has never met an opponent in chess. Even if Daji plays chess with him today, it is not enough to make him serious. birth.

Due to limited materials, the production of playing cards is much more complicated than that of chess pieces, but fortunately, it was finally completed.

Not long after, bursts of playful laughter began to come from the golden auspicious clouds.

Xiangyun's speed was neither fast nor slow. When he arrived at Xia Dynasty, it took more than half an hour. In order not to cause a sensation, Li Nianfan still stopped at a place outside the city, and then walked into the city.

The Xia Dynasty has undergone great changes since the last time it came, and the degree of prosperity can be described as a sky and a land.

When Li Nianfan came last time, due to the plague and war, the whole city seemed to have fallen into dead silence. Only those who escaped from the city did not enter the city, and there was no hope on everyone's faces.

Today, even in the cold weather, there is still an endless flow of caravans and people coming and going from the city gate, and it is not difficult to see from their eyes that they love this country deeply, and their conversations are full of expectations for the future.

There are still some soldiers standing on the city wall, but the number is much smaller. They just maintain a simple order. In the sky, from time to time, there are ghosts of immortal cultivators passing by. It is obvious that they have a good friendship with Xia Chao.

Even the city gate has been repaired, and it is majestic. The city gate is wide open, and there are two soldiers guarding the gate standing at the gate. They can enter the city after a simple interrogation.

Entering the city, the streets are full of traffic, and there are stalls on both sides, which is extremely lively.

This kind of hustle and bustle is different from the hustle and bustle of Luoxian City. The stalls are not arranged randomly. Most of them are shops, which appear more standardized and orderly.

Along the way, Li Nianfan couldn't stop nodding, and couldn't help praising: "That guy Zhou Yunwu managed really well."

Today's Xia Dynasty actually gave Li Nianfan the feeling of a metropolis in the world of cultivating immortals, prosperous and prosperous.

While walking, Li Nianfan's footsteps paused slightly, with a look of interest on his face, "Xia Dynasty Bookstore? What kind of bookstore is it in the world of cultivating immortals?"

He smiled and walked into the bookstore.

The bookstore is not big, and the owner is an old man with half-white hair. He is stroking his beard with one hand, and flipping through a book in the other. He is quite relaxed.

Seeing Li Nianfan and others coming in, he stood up to greet him with a smile and said, "Welcome, are you buying books or reading?"

Li Nianfan said: "Just take a look."

He noticed that many people in the bookstore were sitting on the ground with books in their hands, looking at them fascinated.

This bookstore gives him the feeling that it is a free library, and the boss is not afraid of losing money if he does this.

Li Nianfan asked curiously: "Old man, if you watch it for free like this, aren't you afraid that others will just watch it and not buy it?"

"Hahaha, I'm really not afraid."

The old man smiled slightly and said: "The only ones who can stay here to read for a long time are the locals. Now that the Xia Dynasty is prosperous and there are many merchants coming and going, they don't have time to stay here and read all day, so they want to read all the time. I can buy books back home, and the old man, I guarantee that if they read my books here, 80% of them will voluntarily pay for them."

Unexpectedly, this old man is still a business man, knowing that it is free first and then charged, which is amazing.

Li Nianfan frowned slightly, "So confident?"

"That is, who made the books here good!" The old man showed a smile on his face, "You are outsiders, so I might as well show you around."

The old man looked old, but he was quite energetic, and soon brought Li Nianfan to the bookshelf.

On the bookshelf, many books are duplicated, and there are not many types of books.

"Young master, look at this "Journey to the West". The author of this book, Wu Chengen, is definitely a Taoist immortal. Otherwise, how could he write such a fascinating story about ghosts?"

"There is also this "Shen Nong Baicao Jing". This Shen Nong is a saint in the world. I don't know how many lives he saved. If it weren't for him, where would the Xia Dynasty be today? It would have become a dead city long ago! Buy this book Going back, it will definitely be of great use, value for money!"

"It goes without saying that "The Grand Duke's Art of War" was written by a god-man named Anonymous. This is the key to our Xia Dynasty's victories in all battles. If you buy it back and teach it to children, you will definitely be able to become a general in the future!"

"There is also this "Westward Journey Record", which is written by my Xia Dynasty military adviser and contemporary great Confucianism. It also benefits people a lot from reading it."

...

The old man admired these books very much, and introduced them one by one with great interest. I don't know if he introduced them so hard every time he met someone, with a pilgrimage shining in his eyes.

Li Nianfan breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed that most of the books on the bookshelf were related to him. They were either told by him or edited by Meng Junliang according to what he said. However, he also followed his instructions. When mentioning one's own name, knowing to use Anonymous instead, a child can be taught.

The old man finally sighed and said excitedly: "It is these books that saved the Xia Dynasty and the people! They are the foundation of inheritance!"

Li Nianfan nodded approvingly, and exclaimed, "Old man, you are right."

The old man strikes while the iron is hot: "Do you want to buy a few copies, young master? I will give you a discount."

"Hehe, it's unnecessary." Li Nianfan shook his head.

The old man fell into a daze immediately, apparently he did not expect Li Nianfan to refuse.

He was stunned, and couldn't help but said: "My lord, respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue that everyone praises. I'm so old, I'm so tired of telling you that there is hard work without credit. If you don't buy some, it will really make it difficult for me."

"Old man, I'm just kidding." Li Nianfan laughed, and continued: "Give me a set of each of these books, and support the original version, starting from me."

"Young master is generous, young master is bright! I can see that you are not an ordinary person at first sight!"

The old man's energy suddenly became stronger, and he began to pack up excitedly.

Li Nianfan accepted the book as a souvenir, and prepared to go out.

At this moment, an old man stepped in and said to the owner of the bookstore: "Old man Lin, school is almost over, let's go, let's go pick up our grandson together!"

The owner of the bookstore said with a smile on his face, "Let's go, let's go together."

"Yohoo, you're doing a big deal." The old man joked with a smile, then looked at Li Nianfan, his whole body was shocked, and he watched Li Nianfan and others go out in a daze.

The bookstore owner frowned slightly, "Old man Sun, what's wrong with you?"

"It's him, it's him, it must be him!"

Old man Sun hurriedly rushed out, constantly searching among the crowd.

"who is he?"

"It's Shennong! You can't be wrong. It was here at the beginning. My son was going to be arrested and quarantined. I refused, but he appeared!" Old man Sun was so excited that his eyes were red, and he whispered: "He told me, He is not a fairy, he is a mortal, but the plague...he can save it!"

"Are you sure you're right?"

Old man Lin's pupils widened suddenly, and goose bumps all over his body instantly raised. He looked at the direction where Li Nianfan disappeared like a statue, regretful and excited at the same time, "I actually talked to Shennong, I actually collected money from my benefactor, I... hey!"
