BXBX NOVEL Chapter 14 - 14 An Immortal?_1
Senior Li’s pet is not a cat, but a tiger?
A white tiger?
“Indeed, this is a white tiger, and moreover, its bloodline is very pure… extremely rare throughout the Xuantian Realm!”
Fire Spirit spoke with certainty, although she dared not use the Bright Fire Eyes, her vision was still extraordinary.
“…Additionally, the thing that this senior uses to start a fire… seems to be… Xuanhuo Wood.” Her expression was incredibly complex.
Xuanhuo Wood, even within the Royal Family of the Fire Nation, was an exceedingly precious resource!
Xuanhuo Wood itself is an excellent material for weapon refining, and the flames it creates are coveted by fire-attribute cultivators.
But here, this senior, was actually just using it to cook food for his pet…
What kind of existence is this…
Thinking this, she quickly blinked her eyes a few times, her tears flowing plentifully, as the aftereffects of rashly observing this senior’s courtyard were too strong.
She simply didn’t know when she would stop crying.
Upon hearing this, everyone was even more shocked.
To keep a white tiger with a rare bloodline as a cat?
To use Xuanhuo Wood for cooking pet food?
In this world, only Senior Li could do such a thing, right?
However, right after that, Yu Qishui felt somewhat relieved. He knew that not a single creature in Senior Li’s small yard was mundane…
Li Fan didn’t pay attention to the others and indifferently snuffed the fire, placing a bowl of cooked cat food to cool on the side.
Carrot stewed with meat, the meat hunted from the mountains, the carrots grown by himself… Li Fan was quite satisfied.
“It’s a bit hot, let it cool before eating.”
Li Fan held the cat in one hand and used the other to hold the bowl, blowing on it until the food was tepid, then letting Xiao Bai start eating.
Bai Xiaoqing couldn’t hold back any longer and immediately dug in gleefully!
Wow, how delicious is this, what sort of heavenly food is this…
Watching Xiao Bai eat with relish, he smiled and then stood up to look at the visitors.
Why is that beauty still weeping…
Last time, Mu Qianning and the others came looking for precious stones, and he had refused them. Now they were here again, could it be another similar request?
Yu Qishui had already stood up, his face showing a bit of embarrassment and nervousness, saying, “Senior Li, this is Miss Fire Spirit. She has come to visit Senior Li to convey a message…”
A message?
Li Fan felt a twinge of annoyance; he really didn’t want to be too involved with these cultivators.
Moreover, it seemed these people had a special fondness for gems. The message they wanted to convey was probably related to such things.
Were these cultivators too worldly?
He shook his head, saying, “No need to speak.”
No need to speak?
The group was taken aback.
“All is but illusion.”
Li Fan said, “If one is deluded by things of emptiness, one will fall into it and lose oneself. Only by seeing through the illusory reflections can one truly attain freedom.”
This was his piece of advice.
Having cultivated in mind and body in the small mountain village for many years, he truly had little interest in these external objects. Taking care of his cat and painting every day was already a rare serenity.
But upon hearing this, Yu Qishui and the others showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on their faces!
“I understand now, Senior Li must have known about the Evil God’s impending arrival!”
“Even the arrival of the Evil God is seen as mere illusion by Senior Li, not worth noting at all!”
“Could it be that Senior Li’s game, even the Evil God is not qualified to play?”
They were all stunned.
Fire Spirit’s eyes widened in shock.
Not even the Evil God was worthy of his concern? Could it be… the person before them had touched the Immortal Path?
If it had been before, she would never have believed it!
But now, she was utterly subdued.
Could it be that what they were facing was actually an Immortal?
That would be too terrifying.
Impossible!
She forced herself to believe.
In the Xuantian Realm, the closest to having become an Immortal was the Bei Chen Supreme, a thousand years ago!
The people who became Immortals after that had almost all ascended.
Who would stay in the Xuantian Realm? Impossible!
At this moment, seeing Fire Spirit still teary, Li Fan felt a pang of compassion and took out a handkerchief, handing it to her, saying, “Wipe your tears.”
Fire Spirit paused for a moment.
She looked at Li Fan, and for an instant her eyes met his. She distinctly felt that the gaze of the Senior before her was as vast as the ocean yet gentle, as deep as the starry sky yet kind…
But she hastily lowered her head, accepted Li Fan’s handkerchief, and said, “Thank you, Senior.”
She gently wiped her eyes.
Hmm?
The next moment, she was utterly stunned.
In that instant, the after-effects from peering into Li Fan’s courtyard with her eyes had vanished.
Moreover, her pupils felt a sense of warmth at that moment.
Utterly comfortable!
At the bottom of her eyes, the two originally faint red flames suddenly grew stronger and even turned orange!
“From Bright Fire Eyes to Profound Fire Eyes…”
“Just in that split second?”
She was completely shocked.
Keep in mind, this Eye Technique, was a closely guarded secret of the Royal Family of the Fire Nation, extremely extraordinary but also extremely difficult to cultivate.
Even her own father, who controlled the entire Fire Country, had only cultivated to the stage of Profound Fire Eyes!
But in just that moment, she had completed a leap forward… and was at the peak of Profound Fire Eyes?
She subconsciously glanced at the handkerchief in her hand.
Heaven, what kind of treasure was this?
Was this Senior too incredible? Such a treasure, in his hands, was merely used as a handkerchief?
If her father knew about this, he would probably be willing to exchange the entire Fire Nation for it!
But then again, to such a Senior, the Fire Nation was probably nothing more than a clump of grass by the roadside, right?
She stood up, took a deep breath, and said, “Thank you very much, Senior!”
At the same time, she held the handkerchief with both hands and respectfully offered it back to Li Fan.
Li Fan casually took it back, saying, “There is no need for thanks.”
In that moment, Fire Spirit’s heart was seized by a bold idea.
If she could follow by the side of such a Senior, what an incredible opportunity that would be?
In this life, reaching Mahayana was definitely within reach, even exploring the Nascent Soul Realm wasn’t impossible…
Remembering the great enmity of her mother, thinking of the enemy who was still rampant in her clan… hatred surged in her heart!
For revenge, for her own future!
She mustered her courage, clenched her teeth and asked, “Senior Li… Ling’er would like to ask to be your disciple. Is… is that possible?”
She was extremely nervous and anxious.
Yu Qishui and the others were somewhat stunned.
The Princess of Huo Country, asking to become a disciple directly?
But then again, it seemed normal, what was the Fire Country in the face of an existence like Senior Li?
Li Fan’s brows slightly furrowed.
Take as a disciple?
This girl didn’t know when to give up.
Saying she wanted to be a disciple, wasn’t she just looking to follow him so he could find gems for her?
“What you want, I cannot give,” he said.
“Please leave.”
Li Fan dismissed her!
Fire Spirit’s face suddenly changed!
Everyone’s face changed!
They all detected the anger in Li Fan’s words!
