Chapter 506: Blackie’s Surprise. The Ministry

　　At the Heavenly Palace.

　　At the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint.

　　The Jade Emperor, the Empress, and the other Immortals were having a small gathering with Li Nianfan.

　　After all, Li Nianfan was grateful to them. He could increase his lifespan by 60,000 years because of the Ginseng Fruit. It was a very nice gesture from the Heavenly Palace Immortals.

　　‘I gained a lot today.’

　　The name of the small gathering was known as the Ginseng Fruit Feast.

　　Of course, it was all in Li Nianfan’s head. Everyone knew that the Ginseng Fruit was the cheapest thing in the feast. The expert brought out the wine and the fruit platters. Everyone felt awkward.

　　Most importantly, they did not retrieve the Ginseng Fruit because they worked hard. The Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals were killed by Lord Dog. Also, the Ginseng Fruit blossomed because of the expert…

　　‘Sigh. We don’t deserve this free reward!

　　‘The expert’s too nice to us.’

　　At the same time, they realized the changes in the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint. The changes came from the Water Purifier and the Air Purifier.

　　The expert was not in the palace for a while. Nobody entered the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint. However, it still improved.

　　It was because of the Air Purifier and Water Purifier. The Air Purifier turned the air into Chaos Spiritual Qi. The Water Purifier also turned the water into Chaos Spiritual Water!

　　No wonder the Heavenly Palace would kiss up to the expert. They smartly gave the expert the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint. Then, they enjoyed the benefits from that!

　　As expected, those who kissed up to the expert would have everything in the end.

　　Everyone was having a good time. Blackie arrived while everyone was cheering with their glasses. He stumbled over, carrying a huge sack. He happily stuck his tongue out at Li Nianfan.

　　Li Nianfan immediately frowned. He scolded, “Blackie, you’re being so impolite. Can’t you see that we’re having a feast?”

　　‘Everyone here’s an Immortal. You can’t run in with so many sacks and a twig in your mouth. So embarrassing!’

　　Blackie wagged his tail and said, “Master. I brought you something good.”

　　“What is it?”

　　Li Nianfan arched his eyebrow. He curiously walked over.

　　As for the Jade Emperor and the others, they were already stunned. They could feel the limitless Spiritual Qi coming out from that huge sack. They were speechlessly shocked.

　　They remembered where Blackie went. So, they instantly had a horrible thought—

　　‘Did the Lord Dog…rob the Yunhuang World?’

　　Li Nianfan noticed the ‘twigs’. There were three tree sprouts in total. His eyes instantly lit up upon closer look.

　　“Lychee, Longan, and Cherries! These are indeed something good.”

　　Li Nianfan had to pat Blackie on the head. He complimented, “These will go well in my backyard.”

　　He was truly happy. Apart from having more diverse fruit trees, he was most happy about the fact that there was Lychee!

　　Lychee was his favorite fruit.

　　Unfortunately, the System would only reward him with apples, pears, and oranges. Those were common and basic fruits. He could not find Lychee in the Eldritch World either.

　　He had lost hope. Unexpectedly, Blackie came in with a small Lychee tree sprout in his mouth.

　　‘Nice one, Blackie!

　　‘Blackie finally matured. I didn’t raise him for nothing. He knows how to show his gratitude.’

　　As the saying went, ‘The concubine smiled when the knight returns, no one knew that it’s because he brought back Lychee.’ Li Nianfan knew he was in for a treat. Life was wonderful.

　　Then, Li Nianfan saw the huge sack.

　　“What’s in here?” He started to dig inside.

　　Cling clang—

　　Li Nianfan took out the items one by one. He was gradually speechless.

　　“Where did you get all this junk from? Compass? Brush? Is this…a Globe? And it’s a broken one.”

　　“What is this?” Li Nianfan took out a shiny golden cup with two handles on it. “A trophy? Blackie, are you collecting garbage now?”

　　Li Nianfan simply tossed them on the floor. Soon, it was a mountain of items.

　　It looked like a mountain of garbage.

　　Li Nianfan noticed that the Jade Emperor and the others looked baffled. He instantly coughed and rubbed his nose out from awkwardness. “Excuse me, my Dog doesn’t know any better. He brings back anything he sees. Sorry for the embarrassment.”

　　‘Embarrassment?

　　‘We’re the embarrassment here.

　　‘This is a mountain of Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. You tossed them like garbage. How should we feel about that?!

　　‘The Lord Dog’s too awesome!

　　‘I want a dog that doesn’t know any better, too. But the problem is I can’t!

　　‘Boohoo. We aren’t worthy enough to be garbage collectors…’

　　Li Nianfan felt like Blackie had strolled around the three realms and threw any odd items he found into the snake-skin sack. ‘Blackie treats them like treasures. Sigh. This dumb Dog!’

　　However, at least the items were interesting. He also had three new tree sprouts. That was nice.

　　‘Nice one, Blackie.’

　　Li Nianfan took out the last item. It was a shiny rock and it looked like a crystal. It was around the size of a quail egg. It reflected under the sunlight.

　　The realm went still when he took out the item. The Jade Emperor and the others almost stared their eyes out. They breathed heavily and their faces were flushed.

　　‘This…this is…

　　‘Such an intense Power of Law. This is pure Realm Qi!

　　‘Is this…the Qi of the Yunhuang World?’

　　They could feel the Eldritch World quake. It expressed its desires toward the item.

　　It was an instinctual desire. Any living creature desired it from the bottom of their hearts.

　　After all, the Eldritch World was flawed. They could use that to fill up their flaws.

　　“Diamond?”

　　Li Nianfan was surprised.

　　He could not believe that he saw a diamond. The diamond was huge, too. It must be at least three carats.

　　The diamond work was refined and polished. It was truly a diamond from the cultivation world. The natural diamond was so refined.

　　‘Nice. One after another.’

　　He planned to increase his lifespan by eating the Ginseng Fruit. Then, he was planning to marry Daji. Here came…the diamond.

　　Diamonds were probably not that important in the Immortal Realm. However, Li Nianfan coincidentally had one. He felt like he should follow traditions. He should make a Diamond Ring and marry!

　　‘I’m now a man of status and connections. This wedding must be grand. I need the three realms to witness this wedding.

　　‘The Demons, the Heavenly Palace, the Underworld, and the Immortal Realm… They were all successful cultivators that would be there.’

　　He had a plan in mind. He once again patted Blackie on the head. He complimented, “Good boy, Blackie. I’ll give you an extra ham when we get back!”

　　Blackie wagged his tail and barked. “Thanks, Master.”

　　Li Nianfan turned around and chatted with the Jade Emperor and the others. He smiled and said, “Come on, everyone. Don’t stop. Feel free to eat and drink.”

　　Everyone raised their glasses with smiles on their faces. Truthfully, the delicious food was instantly less delicious.

　　‘The expert’s too good at knocking us down. Why can’t we be friends without showing off our riches…?’

　　Soon, the Ginseng Fruit Feast ended. Everyone stood and said their farewells.

　　The Jade Emperor and the Empress walked out from the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint. They went to the Lingxiao Palace and ran into Goddess Nuwa and Yunshu. They had been waiting there.

　　They immediately straightened up. They bowed and said, “Greetings to Empress Goddess Nuwa and Empress Yun Shu.”

　　“No need for courtesy,” nodded Goddess Nuwa.

　　The Jade Emperor was full of shock. “Empress Nuwa, do you know that Lord Dog…”

　　Goddess Nuwa smiled and said, “I know what you’re trying to say. Yun Shu and I went to pick up Lord Dog at the Yunhuang World. He indeed robbed the Yunhuang World. He brought back a hundred ultimate treasures and Spiritual Trees.”

　　They already guessed it, but they were still shocked. Somehow, they were kind of proud.

　　The Yunhuang World was far stronger than the Eldritch World. However, they were robbed. That was so satisfying to them. ‘Nice, haha…’

　　The Jade Emperor took a deep breath. He continued, “The realm crystal…’

　　“Lord Dog forcefully took it out from the Yunhuang World.” Goddess Nuwa paused. Then, she reminded them, “Don’t even think about the crystal unless the expert wants to give it to you.”

　　The Jade Emperor smiled awkwardly and shook his head. He said with respect, “I was only curious. How did the Lord Dog get the crystal?”

　　Goddess Nuwa looked astounded. She said, “Lord Dog’s a Realm Cultivator! You won’t believe this. He painted an area with a brush and extracted the Realm Crystal!”

　　‘Painted with a brush?’

　　“Yikes—”

　　Everyone gasped. It was beyond their understanding and expertise. They could not imagine it.

　　‘Is this how powerful he is?’

　　“Enough. Aren’t you all used to it by now?”

　　Goddess Nuwa waved it off. Then, she sighed and said, “Actually… We felt more stressed. Yun Shu and I were going to help out. In the end, we didn’t need to help at all. It’s truly embarrassing.”

　　The Jade Emperor and the others all looked at each other. They sighed at the same time. They could relate to that. They felt useless.

　　Yang Jing suddenly thought of something. He said, “Oh yeah. Empress, the expert wants a television.”

　　Goddess Nuwa hurriedly said, “Oh? Tell me.”

　　Yang Jing and the others immediately told her everything in great detail.

　　Meanwhile.

　　At the depths of the Chaos. It was covered by endless darkness.

　　The area had no stars. It was known as the Sea of Chaos. It birthed a small world!

　　The worlds in the area had no nights or days. They had no seasons. The environment was brutal. The hurricanes could crush a Quasi-Saint!

　　The worlds were not created by Realm Cultivators. Instead, they were naturally birthed by the Chaos. Amidst the endless darkness, there was a huge danger. It was also a huge opportunity at the same time!

　　Meanwhile, in a small world covered in black dirt and surrounded by black mountains, two elders in black robes walked in the black hurricane. They walked slowly. Their black robes seemed to be unaffected by the wind. Their robes slowly swayed.

　　Suddenly, one of the elders shuddered and slowly shut his eyes.

　　Then, he opened his eyes all of a sudden. A cold glare shot out like a blade. The light slashed through a black mountain that was a hundred miles away!

　　Power was pouring out from his body. It stopped the hurricane!

　　The other black-robed elder was slightly confused. He asked curiously, “What’s going on?”

　　The elder squinted. He had a chilling hoarse voice as he said, “Somebody caused havoc in the Yunhuang World I created. He extracted the power of the realm that I left there!”

　　The other cultivator was intrigued. “Oh, really? So rude. I see that he’s also a Realm Cultivator?”

　　“Ha. There’s more.”

　　The elder smirked cruelly. “The attacker’s a dog!”

　　The cultivator was expectedly interested. “Oh? Are you sure?”

　　“Why would I lie to you? It seems to be an ordinary black dog!”

　　“So interesting. Is it a Magical Beast from another dimension? That’s so rare! We have to inform the Ministry, let’s capture it!”
