The changes in the old locust tree can no longer be understood using common sense.
It was a "miracle" that mortals could not even imagine.
The withered yellow leaves visibly shed their lifelessness, transforming into a deep, vibrant green full of life.
Within the veins of each new leaf, a glimmer of light flows, its texture far surpassing that of the world's finest jade.
The cracked bark peeled away inch by inch, revealing a smooth and warm new trunk underneath, with a texture like jade.
The strangest thing is that, even though it's not the flowering season, clusters of snow-white locust flowers bloom on the branches in just a few breaths.
The petals were crystal clear, with a hazy halo around them.
An indescribable fragrance instantly enveloped the entire courtyard.
Li Zhenguo inhaled just one breath, and felt all the fatigue and anxiety that had been building up in his heart for days vanish, leaving him feeling incredibly refreshed.
Xuan Chengzi was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
He could clearly sense that streams of pure, terrifyingly refined primordial spiritual energy were surging wildly into the old locust tree from the depths of the earth!
The quality of this spiritual energy is more than a hundred times higher than the "spiritual eye" that they rely on for survival on Penglai Immortal Island!
"This...this is..."
Xuan Chengzi pointed at the old locust tree, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"The Divine Tree... the true Divine Tree that brings good fortune! It is reviving! It is evolving towards a higher level of life!"
His mind went blank as he suddenly remembered the first condition Lin Fan had mentioned.
"I want all the locust flowers it produces in the future to be used as enlightenment tea."
At the time, he thought it was a pipe dream, a fantasy.
Now he understands.
This Mr. Lin wasn't even making any ridiculous demands.
He was "issuing an imperial edict"!
He informed the tree in his own way: From today onwards, the locust blossoms you produce must be Wudao Tea!
Words become law!
These four words are the most accurate interpretation of Mr. [Name]'s behavior!
As Xuan Chengzi gazed at the transformed divine tree, and then recalled the strangely vanished world-destroying rift in the high heavens, his awe of Lin Fan rose to a peak that made even his soul tremble.
He finally understood.
How insignificant and laughable I am, and even the entire Penglai, in front of Mr. Lin.
What they see as a "great calamity" is probably just a "leaky ceiling" to Mr. [Name].
The task of "nourishing the divine tree," which they were prepared to complete even with the full strength of their sect, was resolved by the master simply by going out for a short while.
Moreover, the solution was ten thousand times better than the best outcome they could have imagined.
gap.
This is an eternal and insurmountable chasm between mortals and gods.
Just as the three were distraught over the changes in the divine tree.
A figure appeared out of thin air in the courtyard.
It was Lin Fan.
He was still holding the ancient Kunlun map he had "borrowed" from Fang Qingxue, and he was studying it intently as he walked.
"Sir! You're back!"
Li Zhenguo and Xuan Chengzi, as if they had seen a savior, were startled and quickly went to greet him.
"That...that crack in the sky, is it fixed?" Li Zhenguo still couldn't believe it and asked cautiously.
"Yes, it's fixed."
Lin Fan didn't even look up, and casually replied.
"They also installed an air purifier for our house, so the air quality in the yard should be up to standard now. By the way, try to open the windows less often, the smog outside is too bad."
Air purifier?
Smog?
Li Zhenguo and Xuan Chengzi were completely bewildered, their minds unable to follow Lin Fan's train of thought.
But they could clearly feel that the air in the yard was indeed different.
That crisp, fresh, and vibrant aura made every pore of their bodies relax and rejoice.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you so much for turning the tide and saving the world!"
Xuan Chengzi finally came to his senses and was about to kneel and bow to Lin Fan again.
"Alright, alright, stop with the formalities." Lin Fan sidestepped easily, "It's a business partnership. I'll do the work, you pay me, no cheating."
He waved the map in his hand.
"Consider this your deposit. As for the balance..."
Lin Fan stroked his chin and looked up at them.
"When will my ten tons of spring water arrive?"
Xuan Chengzi and Li Zhenguo's faces, which had just relaxed, instantly fell again.
My goodness!
You've already mended the sky, so why are you still thinking about that little bit of water?
We don't understand your perspective!
"Sir, look, this great calamity has been averted, so the ice spring water... is it...?" Xuan Chengzi tried to struggle.
"What? Trying to renege on your debt?"
Lin Fan glanced sideways, his tone indifferent.
"I hate it when people renege on their debts. Even a single drop less, I'll make sure you pay up again, believe me?"
letter!
We believe! We believe with our lives!
Xuan Chengzi and Li Zhenguo trembled in fright, not daring to utter another word.
"Don't worry, sir! We'll take care of the ice spring water right away! We'll make sure it's handled perfectly for you!" Li Zhenguo quickly patted his chest to assure him.
Although he had absolutely no idea where to find that thing.
"Hmm, that's more like it." Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.
He didn't necessarily want the ice spring water.
Mainly, he had his eye on this map.
You can't exactly say you only made the purchase because of the "Wudao Ancient Tea Tree" on the map, can you? That would be too embarrassing.
Therefore, there must be a reason to obtain this picture "legally and legitimately".
Now, this image shows a "deposit".
If they can't pay the "final payment" (ice spring water), then the "deposit" (map) will rightfully belong to him.
I'm such a logical genius.
Lin Fan mentally gave himself a thumbs up.
Xuan Chengzi watched as Lin Fan casually tucked the map into his pocket, looking at him with such an air of entitlement. His heart was bleeding, but he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face.
He knew that this ancient map, a treasure of the sect, was gone forever.
However, compared to the safety of the entire world, a single fragment of a map... seems worth it.
He sighed deeply, took out an antique wooden box from his sleeve, held it with both hands, and handed it to Lin Fan.
"Sir, this is a small token of our appreciation from Penglai. Since you have accepted the incomplete map, this item may be helpful in deciphering it."
"Oh?"
Lin Fan was somewhat surprised, but he accepted the wooden box.
Upon opening it, a compass-like object lay quietly inside.
This object is cast entirely in bronze, its surface covered with mysterious, tadpole-like runes. The pointer in the center is not a magnetic needle, but a white bone needle that floats in mid-air and emits a faint glow.
"This is the 'Dragon Seeking Plate'."
Xuan Chengzi respectfully explained, "It was crafted by my Penglai Patriarch, in imitation of the ancient Emperor's treasure, the 'Hetu Luoshu.' It cannot distinguish north from south, but it can sense the direction of the dragon veins and the nodes of fortune in heaven and earth."
"That ancient map of Kunlun depicts the course of the dragon veins. With this plate in hand, you can accurately locate any of the marked locations on the map."
Lin Fan picked up the Dragon-Seeking Compass and played with it for a while.
This little gadget contains a peculiar power of rules, making it quite a valuable item.
"At least you've shown some sincerity." Lin Fan casually put away the Dragon-Seeking Compass. "Alright, if there's nothing else, let's call it a day. I need to examine my 'deposit'."
Li Zhenguo and Xuan Chengzi felt as if they had been granted a pardon and bowed to take their leave.
They felt that if they stayed in this courtyard any longer, their hearts and values would shatter.
After the two left, only Lin Fan and Fang Qingxue remained in the courtyard.
Lin Fan lay back down in the rocking chair, placed the Kunlun Ancient Map and the Dragon-Seeking Compass on the stone table in front of him, and began to study them carefully.
Fang Qingxue stood quietly to the side, refilling his cup of tea.
Looking at Lin Fan's focused profile, and then at the divine tree in the courtyard that was still growing and transforming, she felt a strong sense of unreality.
In a single day, a cataclysmic event struck the heavens and earth, evil spirits from beyond the realm appeared, and a divine miracle occurred...
Any one of them is enough to shake the past and present.
The creator of all this, at this moment, is like a child who has received a new toy, studying a treasure map with great interest.
"Sir, are you... really going to Kunlun?" Fang Qingxue finally couldn't help but ask softly.
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Lin Fan's gaze never left the map.
"The tea at home is almost gone."
Fang Qingxue: "..."
She knew it would be for this reason.
"Kunlun is very dangerous," she warned.
"I know." Lin Fan nodded. "So, we need to make some preparations first."
"Ready?"
"Um."
Lin Fan raised his head and looked toward the center of the courtyard, his eyes filled with a strange expectation.
"Before setting off on a long journey, you always have to... sign in first, right?"
