I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 71 Fish and Insect Eggs

Upon hearing this, Liu Yijian stroked his beard and smiled, "That's thoughtful of you. Your third uncle came to see me a few days ago; he was worried that I'd be bored being alone in this deep mountain forest."

"But in reality, isn't avoiding the hustle and bustle of Cloud Eagle City also a kind of enjoyment?"

Xu Ning stood aside, naturally unable to say anything.

However, after hearing Liu Yijian's words, Xu Ning felt that even Yunying City was a complex place with many people and places in the martial arts world.

"Come on, let's go to my place and have a chat."

Liu Yijian extended an invitation.

Wei Binglin nodded and followed behind Liu Yijian: "Grandpa Liu, is this Luoyue Lake in Yunze Mountain?"

"Yes."

Liu Yijian stopped in his tracks: "Whenever the moon is full, the lake is filled with the reflection of the silver moon, and the scenery is quite magnificent."

After saying that, the group entered the dense forest under Liu Yijian's guidance.

Soon, a farmhouse came into view.

Judging from the outside, this farmhouse is surrounded by a fence and hidden under huge trees.

The houses inside the courtyard are also made of wood, and they look very simple.

Upon entering this secluded courtyard, a pond comes into view, with various colorful fish swimming back and forth in it.

Besides, there are all kinds of flowers and plants everywhere. It's hard to imagine that there would be such a leisurely place in the dangerous Yunze Mountains.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Liu Yijian said.

Upon hearing this, the two guards stopped in their tracks.

Seeing this, Xu Ning stopped following.

"Brother Xu, let's go together."

Upon seeing this, Wei Binglin first extended an invitation to Xu Ning, and then explained to Liu Yijian, "This is Xu Ning. He is not our bodyguard, but a friend we met in Kangyun County."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yijian smiled and said without any hesitation, "It's alright, let's go inside together."

Xu Ning declined, saying, "No need. It's inappropriate for me to be there when you old friends meet. I'd rather just stay here in the courtyard and watch the fish and admire the flowers."

Seeing Xu Ning's explanation, the others did not insist and went inside together.

After that, the two guards consciously left the courtyard and stood guard outside.

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

Xu Ning first walked around the courtyard, looking at the flowers and plants.

"I've never seen most of these plants before..."

When Chen Ren was still at the Weiyi Post Station in Fengliu Lane, Xu Ning passively learned a lot about flowers and plants, but seeing these flowers and plants now, Xu Ning still felt that his knowledge in this area was shallow.

"These leaves are so lush and green..."

Xu Ning saw a flowerpot next to the fence. The green vines in the flowerpot meandered upwards along the stem inside the pot, and Xu Ning subconsciously touched it with his hand.

Energy detected: 12 units —

Is it absorbed?

whether

-

"This...this is still a miraculous medicine?"

Xu Ning was startled when he suddenly received a notification from the martial arts panel.

"This Senior Liu is truly terrifying..."

Xu Ning then realized that the flowers and plants in the courtyard were not just for ornamental purposes; they were very likely spiritual herbs that he had never seen before.

For a moment, Xu Ning felt an even greater longing for Yunying City, where Liu Yijian came from.

Only a larger platform for martial arts can nurture stronger martial artists.

Xu Ning stopped looking at the flowers and plants, because he was afraid he would be unable to resist absorbing them.

Xu Ning then went to the pool.

Fish darted about inside, sometimes surfacing and sometimes diving back down, appearing quite active.

Out of boredom, Xu Ning simply sat cross-legged on the ground and stared at the fish in the pond.

"Brother Xu, you can even get lost in thought while staring at fish?"

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Zicheng's voice suddenly came from behind Xu Ning.

Xu Ning subconsciously turned around and saw Wei Zicheng also sitting cross-legged, near the pool.

Xu Ning looked around: "Why are you the only one who came out?"

"Grandpa Liu and my brother were chatting about old times, but it got boring, so they came out."

Wei Zicheng offered a casual explanation, then seemed to notice something interesting: "Look at this fish."

Xu Ning looked at the pool.

At this moment, the fish in the pool seemed to be summoned by some force, and they emerged from the bottom of the water in a dark mass, surging in front of Wei Zicheng.

However, no fish were willing to approach Xu Ning.

"this……"

Xu Ning was also puzzled.

Wei Zicheng was very curious, so she tentatively stretched her hand out of the pool and swung it from side to side.

The fish in the pool swam back and forth following Wei Zicheng's hand, showing great affection for him.

"Does this fish only like women?"

Xu Ning smiled, but didn't seem to mind.

Just then, Liu Yijian and Wei Binglin also came out.

"Grandpa Liu, I won't bother you any longer today."

Wei Binglin had clearly already talked to Liu Yijian quite a bit and didn't intend to bother him any further.

"Brother Xu, Zicheng, what are you doing?"

Seeing Wei Zicheng having a great time playing in front of the pool, Wei Binglin also came over.

As Wei Binglin approached, half of the fish in the pool suddenly parted from Wei Zicheng's side and landed at Wei Binglin's feet.

No fish approached Xu Ning.

"That's strange..."

Xu Ning was also an exception.

It seems this fish doesn't dislike men, it dislikes itself.

"Um?"

Liu Yijian walked over and saw the scene in the pool; a strange look appeared in his eyes.

"Grandpa Liu, what's going on with the fish swimming in your pond?"

Wei Zicheng asked the question that had been bothering him.

"It's nothing. These fish aren't ordinary. They have some nascent consciousness... I brought them from Cloud Eagle City, so they might be more friendly towards people from Cloud Eagle City..."

Liu Yijian said with a smile, but his eyes kept glancing at Xu Ning out of the corner of his eye.

"Isn't that the same as a low-level demonic beast?"

Wei Binglin also found it interesting.

Liu Yijian didn't say anything more, but instead flicked his wrist, and three white insect eggs the size of rice grains appeared in his hand.

"Since you've traveled so far to see me, I'll also give you some gifts."

"Are these Thousand Source Insect Eggs?"

Ignoring the fish swimming in the pool, Wei Zicheng moved closer to Liu Yijian and stared at the insect eggs in his hand.

"good."

Liu Yijian nodded.

"Thousand-source insect eggs?"

Xu Ning looked at it curiously; he had never heard of these insect eggs before.

"Take one each."

As he spoke, Liu Yijian placed the two insect eggs into Wei Zicheng's and Wei Binglin's hands at the same time.

"Thank you, Grandpa Liu."

The two of them accepted the Thousand Source Insect Eggs with expressions of joy.

Clearly, these so-called Thousand Origin Insect Eggs are rare even in Cloud Eagle City.

When Liu Yijian received the last Thousand Source Insect egg, he handed it to Xu Ning.

"Give me?"

Xu Ning was quite surprised.

"Senior Liu, we have no kinship or relationship with each other, it is really inappropriate for us to accept such a generous gift."

Xu Ning firmly refused.

Liu Yijian shook his head and smiled: "Take it, consider it a good deed."

Xu Ning didn't understand what Liu Yijian meant by those words.

How about cultivating good karma with yourself?

"Brother Xu, since it's a gift to you, please accept it."

Wei Binglin offered Xu Ning a word of advice.

Xu Ning was about to refuse when Liu Yijian flicked the Thousand Origin Insect Egg into Xu Ning's hand.

"this……"

Seeing Liu Yijian's determination, Xu Ning accepted it.

"Then thank you very much for the gift, senior."

Xu Ning quickly expressed his gratitude.

He had only come to guide the way, yet he inexplicably received a gift from a senior expert.

This left Xu Ning feeling somewhat confused.

"Grandpa Liu, we'll be going now."

Although he had only stayed a short time, Wei Binglin had achieved his purpose in visiting and did not intend to stay any longer.

"it is good."

Liu Yijian nodded, watching the group mount their horses and gallop towards the distant mountains.

"Xu Ning..."

Liu Yijian silently murmured the name.

"This spirit fish is naturally sensitive and willingly gravitates towards those with exceptional martial arts talent..."

"This Xu Ning, although only at the Qi Sensing Realm, has such strength at such a young age, it's no wonder that not even a single spirit fish would be friendly with him..."

Liu Yijian was also puzzled: "This Xu Ning, is he also special..."

Making a good connection with unique people is definitely worthwhile.

Liu Yijian had done this many times in his life, and had benefited from it each time.

If you plant many willows with a willing heart, you will also enjoy their shade.

Thank you to Brother Niwo Douwu, Brother Su Fugui, and Brother Wan Jin San Jin Huan Fu Lai for the generous donations!
