Chapter 71: Fish Eggs

Once Liu Yijian heard this, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Your uncle visited me a few days ago. He was afraid that I was bored being alone in the mountain forest.”

“But actually, avoiding the chaos of Yunying City is an enjoyment in and of itself.”

Xu Ning stood on the sideline and didn’t say anything.

After hearing Liu Yijian’s words, Xu Ning felt that Yunying City was full of unique individuals.

“Let’s go, let’s sit down at my place.”

Liu Yijian sent out an invitation.

Wei Binglin nodded and followed Liu Yijian. “Grandpa Liu, is this lake the Luoyue Lake in Yunze Mountains?”

“Yes.”

Liu Yijian stood still. “When the moon is full, the lake reflects the silver moon. The scenery is gorgeous.”

Several people followed behind Liu Yijian and entered the dense forest.

Soon, they saw a farmhouse.

A fence had been erected outside the farmhouse, which was hidden under a giant tree.

The house was made of wood, making it look quite rustic.

After entering the courtyard, they saw a pond, with various fishes swimming in it.

In addition to that, there were all kinds of flowers and plants everywhere. It was hard to imagine that there was such a luxurious place in the mountains.

“Let’s go inside.”

Liu Yijian said.

The two guards heard this and stood in place.

After seeing this, Xu Ning stopped walking as well.

“Brother Xu, come as well.”

Wei Binglin invited Xu Ning, before explaining to Liu Yijian, “This is Xu Ning. He is not our guard. He’s a friend we met in Kangyun County.”

When Liu Yijian heard this, there was a smile on his face. “It’s okay, let’s go inside together.”

Xu Ning said, “No need, you guys are family. I won’t interrupt you guys. I’ll look at the fish in the pond and enjoy the flowers.”

After seeing Xu Ning refuse the invitation, they did not persist and went inside the house without him.

The two guards then left the courtyard and stood outside.

Xu Ning was the only one left in the wide courtyard.

Xu Ning looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

‘I have never seen most of these flowers and plants…’

When Chen Ren was still in the Maple Lane Guard Station, Xu Ning had learned a lot about flowers and plants, but after seeing these flowers and plants, Xu Ning felt like he was still lacking in his studies.

‘This leaf looks so verdant…’

Xu Ning saw a flower pot beside the fence. The green vines in the flower pot were winding upwards along the pole. Xu Ning subconsciously touched it with his hand.

Discovered energy: 12 units——

Absorb?

Yes/No

‘This… is this a spirit medicine?’

Suddenly, Xu Ning was prompted by the Martial Arts Panel. He was shocked.

‘Senior Liu is so powerful…’

Xu Ning realized that the flowers and plants in this courtyard were not just for viewing purposes. They were probably all spirit herbs that he had never seen before.

Instantly, Xu Ning felt more desire to live in Yunying City.

A strong martial arts scene was required to build a strong martial artist.

Xu Ning looked away from the flowers and plants. He was afraid that he could not resist and absorb them.

Xu Ning walked to the pond.

He saw fish swimming inside. They occasionally surfaced, before diving back down into the water.

Xu Ning sat cross-legged, staring directly at the fish in the pond.

“Brother Xu likes fish?”

Wei Zicheng’s voice suddenly came from behind Xu Ning.

Xu Ning turned his head subconsciously and saw Wei Zicheng also sitting cross-legged near the pond.

Xu Ning glanced around. “Why did you come outside alone?”

“Grandpa Liu and my brother are talking about the past, and I got bored so I came outside.”

Wei Zicheng seemed to find something interesting. “Look at this fish.”

Xu Ning looked at the pond.

The fish swimming in the pond seemed to have received some kind of instruction, as they swam to the surface and swirled in front of Wei Zicheng.

The fish had no intention to swim towards Xu Ning.

“Um…”

Xu Ning was puzzled.

Wei Zicheng was curious. She tentatively reached her hand towards the pond and swung it left and right.

The fish in the pond followed Wei Zicheng’s hand movement.

“Does this fish only like women?”

Xu Ning smiled, but didn’t particularly care.

Liu Yijian and Wei Binglin soon came outside.

“Grandpa Liu, I won’t bother you anymore today.”

Wei Binglin had obviously talked a lot with Liu Yijian, but he did not plan to bother him any longer.

“Brother Xu, Zicheng, what are you guys doing?”

After seeing Wei Zicheng playing in front of the pond, Wei Binglin leaned forward.

When Wei Binglin walked forward, the fish in the pond suddenly left Wei Zicheng’s side and went towards Wei Binglin’s feet.

But, none of the fish approached Xu Ning.

“So strange…”

Xu Ning was confused.

It seemed that the fish didn’t like him.

“What?”

Liu Yijian walked over and looked at the pond. A strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

“Grandpa Liu, what’s the matter with the fish in the pond?”

Wei Zicheng was puzzled.

“Nothing, these fish are not ordinary fish. They have some kind of consciousness. They were brought from Yunying City, so they prefer the people from Yunying City.”

Liu Yijian said with a smile, but he kept looking at Xu Ning.

“So these fish aren’t ordinary low-level demon beasts?”

Wei Binglin also found these fish interesting.

Liu Yijian didn’t say anything else, instead, three white eggs the size of a rice grain appeared in his hand.

“You guys came all the way to see me, so I will give you a gift in return.”

“These are Thousand Source Eggs?”

Wei Zicheng didn’t care about the fish swimming in the pond any longer. He leaned in front of Liu Yijian and stared at the eggs in his hand.

“That’s right.”

Liu Yijian nodded.

“Thousand Source Eggs?”

Xu Ning looked at the eggs curiously. He had never heard of this kind of egg before.

“You all take one each.”

Liu Yijian put two eggs into the hands of Wei Zicheng and Wei Binglin.

“Thank you, Grandpa Liu.”

The two of them happily took the Thousand Source Eggs.

Obviously, this so-called Thousand Source Egg was a rare commodity, even in Yunying City.

Liu Yijian gave the last Thousand Source Egg to Xu Ning.

“For me?”

Xu Ning was very surprised.

“Senior Liu, there’s no reason for this. It would be inappropriate for me to accept this gift.”

Xu Ning firmly refused.

Liu Yijian shook his head and smiled. “Accept it, consider it as a gift of friendship.”

Xu Ning did not understand Liu Yijian.

“Gift of friendship?”

“Brother Xu, since he is offering it to you, just accept it.”

Wei Binglin persuaded Xu Ning.

Xu Ning wanted to refuse, but Liu Yijian shoved the Thousand Source Egg into Xu Ning’s hands.

“Um…”

After seeing Liu Yijian so persistent, Xu Ning agreed.

“Thank you sir.”

Xu Ning thanked him.

Obviously, he was just here to lead the way, but he instead received a gift from Senior Liu for no apparent reason.

Xu Ning was still confused.

“Grandpa Liu, we’ll head off now.”

Although they only stayed here for a short time, Wei Binglin did not intend to stay for long, as they had already completed the purpose of their visit.

“Okay.”

Liu Yijian nodded. He watched the group get on their horses and slowly ride away.

“Xu Ning…”

Liu Yijian said the name quietly.

‘Spirit fish are sensitive by nature. They’re only willing to get close to talented martial artists…’

‘But Xu Ning, although he’s only in the qi realm, he is quite talented. It doesn’t make sense for the spirit fish to avoid him like this.’

Liu Yijian was puzzled, ‘Xu Ning is special…’

To form a friendship with a person like this was definitely a good idea.

Liu Yijian had done this many times in the past, and later benefited from it.

If he was willing to plant trees, he would get to enjoy the shade.
