Chapter 140 He ate the divine soil and still complained that it was too dry?!
Selling dirt?
These two words were like two invisible slaps to Fang Tianwen's face.
Holding the Fang family's treasured heirloom, passed down for eight hundred years, he froze on the spot, his mind blank.
Fang Tianwen had imagined countless scenarios for paying respects to his seniors.
They were ignored.
He was reprimanded.
They were even subjected to a test of lightning.
But he never dreamed that the first thing this senior would say was to ask if his family sold soil.
How is he supposed to respond to that?
You can't exactly bow and scrape and say, "Yes, yes, senior, you have such discerning eyes! Our family has a long tradition of selling soil, and we never cheat anyone, young or old."
"Sir... my grandfather... his family doesn't sell soil."
Fang Qingxue's pretty face was so red it was almost bleeding. She quickly stepped forward and defended her grandfather in a voice barely above a whisper.
She was really scared.
If he doesn't speak up soon, Grandpa's steadfast Dao heart, cultivated for nearly a hundred years, will be completely crushed by this seemingly ordinary sentence from the gentleman.
"Oh, no."
Lin Fan looked enlightened and then pointed to the beautiful jade box.
"Then what's he doing carrying a box of soil all this way? Is he trying to sell something door-to-door?"
Fang Tian asked, "..."
He felt a churning in his chest, a sweet taste in his throat, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Senior... this... this is just a small token of my appreciation..."
He used all his cultivation to squeeze out these words through clenched teeth, his voice trembling.
"Alright, alright, I got it."
Lin Fan waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing away flies.
"I appreciate your kindness, but you can leave the soil behind and go."
"My yard is too small to fit so many people."
Before he finished speaking, he had already reached out and naturally took the jade box from Fang Tianwen's hand.
Upon holding it, it felt slightly heavy.
"Wow, this is quite a lot."
Lin Fan muttered something to himself and casually lifted the lid of the jade box.
In an instant!
An indescribable, earthy-yellow halo, carrying the essence of life and the aura of the primordial earth, soared into the sky!
Om-!
The entire courtyard trembled slightly at that moment!
The mysterious tree rooted in the void in the courtyard rustled its branches and leaves without wind, filled with an irrepressible joy and longing!
In the vegetable garden, the soil mixed with "chaotic spiritual soil" began to glow faintly, echoing the light from afar.
The already dense, almost impenetrable life force in the air surged even higher!
Fang Tianwen and Li Zhenguo only took one breath, and they felt that the bottleneck in their cultivation that had been stuck for decades was beginning to loosen!
"This...this rich primordial earth element power!" Fang Tianwen's mind was shaken.
He had only seen a few brief descriptions of "Nine Heavens Breath Soil" in the oldest family records.
This was the first time he had ever witnessed and personally experienced the terrifying power contained in this legendary divine land, a power capable of changing the world!
Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he saw the handful of soil in the box that radiated a soft, precious light and looked delicious... no, very useful.
"Hmm, this soil looks good."
He nodded and gave a fair assessment.
Then, to the utter astonishment of Fang Tianwen and Li Zhenguo, Lin Fan made a move that shattered their Dao hearts.
He extended his index finger and thumb.
From that handful of Heavenly Soil that could revive the dead and heal the wounded, a small pinch was picked up without bias.
Then, he put that handful of soil into his mouth.
"Smack."
The crisp sound of chewing echoed in the deathly silent courtyard.
Lin Fan smacked his lips, as if he were savoring some novel snack.
"Hmm, it's starting to taste good."
"The texture is like crumbly biscuits, but it's a bit...too dry."
He shook his head, then, as if handing over an ordinary object, stuffed the box of Nine Heavens Breath Soil into Fang Qingxue's hand.
"Qingxue, go and scatter this box of 'cookie crumbs' in the vegetable garden."
"Remember to sprinkle it evenly, don't waste it."
Fang Qingxue: "..."
Fang Tian asked, "..."
Li Zhenguo: "..."
Three people, three blank faces, feeling as if their thoughts, souls, and even their understanding of the world had completely stopped at this moment.
eat……
have eaten?
He actually brought out the legendary "Nine Heavens Breath Soil," a supreme divine soil that, according to legend, a single grain of it could create an oasis stretching for thousands of miles...
Did they eat it because it was cookie crumbs?
Moreover, the feedback was...too dry?!
Fang Tianwen felt as if his worldview was being trampled on the ground by an invisible giant foot, repeatedly ground into dust, and then blown away by a gust of wind.
He watched his granddaughter, trembling, as she carried the jade box step by step towards the vegetable garden.
That's not a jade box.
That was the hope that his Fang family had carried for eight hundred years!
So... it was used as fertilizer?
His heart was bleeding.
But then, an indescribable sense of immense honor and ecstasy instantly overwhelmed that pang of heartache!
Divine land is naturally worthy of divine beings!
The fact that the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, such a precious treasure in the mortal world, could become fertilizer in the vegetable garden of its predecessors is a blessing it has cultivated over three lifetimes! It is the best destiny for it!
"Senior...Senior..." Fang Tianwen's voice trembled uncontrollably, "I wonder...I wonder if you...are you satisfied with this small gift from me?"
He cautiously probed, wanting to know the elder's true opinion of this sacred land.
Lin Fan was rinsing his mouth with his teacup when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he honestly replied:
"Hmm, it's alright."
"It's a bit strong, though; I felt a little tipsy after eating it."
That's absolutely the truth.
After swallowing that small amount of "Nine Heavens Breath Soil," an immense and unparalleled power of the earth instantly exploded within his body. It was only because his physique had been tempered and refined by the system that any god would have been burst on the spot.
But when Fang Tianwen heard these words, they were interpreted in a completely different way.
Big power?
Overhead?
This is my senior giving me guidance!
That is to say, the quality of this Nine Heavens Breath Soil is barely acceptable and has caught his eye!
Fang Tianwen was overjoyed!
He dared not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, waving again toward the courtyard gate.
"What are you all standing there for! Bring up the rest of the gifts we prepared for our senior!"
At the courtyard gate, the Second Elder, Fang Tianxing, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately directed the clansmen to carry in treasure chests one after another.
The lid of the box is opened.
In an instant, the entire courtyard was filled with radiant light, soaring sword energy, and the fragrance of medicine.
However, Lin Fan only glanced at it casually before losing interest.
He pointed to the dazzling "Starfall Sword": "It's a broken iron sword, it's too bulky to even use as a fire poker."
He then pointed to the ethereal "Nine-Leaf Lingzhi": "It's a broken mushroom, its appearance is too poor, it doesn't look appetizing, it's not even as good as the cabbage in my field."
"Take it all away! Take it all away!"
Lin Fan waved his hand with a look of disgust.
"This is a traditional courtyard house, not a junkyard!"
Fang Tianwen and the other elders of the Fang family were scolded until their faces turned red, wishing they could disappear into the ground on the spot.
What they considered a supreme treasure was actually less than trash to their senior.
Just as Fang Tianwen was at a loss and sweating profusely.
He suddenly remembered the last "gift" he had prepared, which he considered the most important.
He steeled his resolve, gritted his teeth, and shouted with all his might toward the courtyard gate:
"Let...let Yubing and the others in!"
Soon, three beautiful young women, dressed in plain white dresses and possessing different temperaments—some aloof, some gentle, and some charming—entered the courtyard with heads bowed and graceful steps, their hearts filled with trepidation.
The moment they appeared, the flowers and plants in the yard seemed to lose their luster.
Lin Fan was completely stunned when he saw the three girls, who were about the same age as Fang Qingxue and looked like fairies who had stepped out of a painting.
His gaze slowly shifted to Fang Tianwen, his eyes becoming incredibly strange.
"Old man, what do you mean?"
"Your family...not only deals in construction, but also engages in human trafficking?"
