Chapter 497 It has nothing to offer, not worth my time.
The three stood up and immediately took on their respective duties.
Wen Chengjian took a glass of water, bowed deeply, and sincerely apologized, "Senior, I was truly blind to your greatness. Please forgive me!"
After saying that, he raised his glass and offered it to her.
With a swift movement, Wenwen circled behind the old man, extended her hand, and began to massage his shoulders and pat his back, using the back-patting techniques she had learned in her previous life. Crack, crack, crack, pat, pat, pat, she vigorously patted and massaged him.
Wen Chengbin then reached into his storage ring and pulled out a palm-leaf fan. Standing beside the old man, he gently waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept by.
This palm-leaf fan was made from the leaves of a large tree that he accidentally cut down in the forest when he was in the Mofeng Mountains. For some reason, the leaves could instantly amplify the airflow with a gentle wave. Therefore, everyone in the family had a palm-leaf fan made from these leaves. Its greatest advantage was that it was effortless and had a strong airflow.
The siblings were doing everything they could to apologize, massage each other's backs, and fan each other—a blatant display of flattery and ingratiation.
This made Master Huida feel extremely uncomfortable. While bewildered, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
However, as a master, he couldn't afford to lose face in front of the younger generation; he had to maintain his image.
Therefore, Master Huida tried his best to suppress his personality and kept a gloomy face.
He looked at Wen Chengbin and said urgently, "Stop! Are you trying to blow me away? I'm too old for such a strong wind. Stop it!"
After saying that, he turned back to Wenwen and said, "You little girl, why are you hitting so hard? Why are you using so much force? Do you think my shoulders and back are made of iron? Stop, stop now!"
We can't favor one over the other. After saying two, there's still one left. The old man took a breath, pointed at Wen Chengjian who was raising his cup in front of him, and launched into a tirade.
"You little rascal, you're the most cunning one. You look so refined, but you're full of tricks. You didn't drink this water because you were waiting for me to make you taste the poison!"
"They're all so precocious and annoying!"
"You little rascal, you don't know what's good for you..."
"..."
The old man kept muttering to himself until he got thirsty. He tilted his head back and drank the plain water in front of him. Then he took the second cup from his siblings, and the third cup. Only when the cups were empty did his anger finally subside.
Even the elderly are like children, and Master Huida is no exception, changing his expression as quickly as turning the pages of a book.
After he finished drinking the water, he refilled it for him, put on a smile, and looked at the three siblings.
"Are you relieved now? Quickly drink some water to help with the digestion of the food in your stomach."
"That kid who treated you to dinner really went all out, ordering so many good dishes. Don't waste that precious monster meat!"
"Why are you looking at me? Drink some water, meditate, and cultivate!"
"Oh dear, this old man's yard is perfectly safe. You lot have nothing to lose, not worth my time. Alright, if you delay another minute, I'm leaving you to your own devices."
In the end, they were even threatened.
Wenwen was unusually calm at this moment. They had encountered a kind-hearted master. Since they were already here, they might as well make the best of it. Everything was fate. They might as well take a gamble and turn their bicycle into a motorcycle!
She placed the top-tier teleportation talisman in Master Huida's hand, saying, "Senior, this is for you."
After saying that, he took out a few cans of cola, a few bags of potato chips, some modern snacks, and several kinds of fresh fruit, all of which were produced by the space. "Senior, we don't have anything good to offer you, but please try these snacks, hehehe!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin also took out some snacks from their pockets that they thought were presentable. These were various pastries made by their elders and sisters before they set off, as well as various snacks purchased from outside shops.
All sorts of things were piled up on the stone table at once.
Wenwen reacted quickly, collecting a pile of talismans from the table in front of the master. "Master, I'll take these first, otherwise we won't have room for all our snacks."
After saying that, she opened a can of Coke, tore open a bag of potato chips, and handed it to the master: "Senior, please have a sip and try this."
Master Huida took the Coke, tilted his head back and gulped it down, smacked his lips, took another gulp, ate a few potato chips, clicked his tongue, ate a few more, and the crunching sound rang out.
"Alright, I can eat by myself. Go and cultivate. You can stay in the courtyard."
At this point, the siblings stopped what they were doing.
After drinking some plain water, looking at the clean, hard ground, they found a good spot, and without prior arrangement, they all took out a meditation cushion, sat down cross-legged, and began their cultivation!
And you know what? This water tastes just like plain water, colorless and tasteless.
However, after the water went down my throat, a warm feeling gathered in my stomach, as if I could feel the food being digested. Then, the digested food turned into wisps of spiritual energy and sank down from my stomach.
As they sank deeper into their dantian, the spiritual energy there naturally accumulated more and more. With the accumulation of spiritual energy, the group regulated their breathing and entered a meditative state, beginning to circulate their spiritual energy through the small and large circulations again and again.
Master Huida, who was eating and drinking nearby, nodded almost imperceptibly as he looked at the three siblings.
After Master Huida had eaten and drunk his fill, he began to study the top-tier teleportation talisman in his hand.
Time passed bit by bit.
Sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the courtyard, the master quickly waved his hands at the three siblings. The next second, several protective shields shimmering with soft light appeared where the three siblings were, and they were immediately enveloped.
Not long after, a violent shockwave appeared inside the protective shield where Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin were. The shockwave churned and shook the protective shield, causing it to tilt and visibly tremble. It lasted for a while before gradually subsiding.
If they were lucky enough to see it, they would have witnessed the ferocity of the shockwave. Fortunately, there was a protective shield, otherwise the shockwave could have destroyed the courtyard.
Sensing that the two brothers inside the protective shield were about to wake up, Master Huida removed the shield, his face calm, and continued to study the teleportation talisman in front of him.
"Big brother, I... I've broken through! What about you?"
The moment Wen Chengbin opened his eyes, he saw Wen Chengjian looking at him, so he blurted out those words.
Wen Chengjian laughed and said, "Second brother, I've also broken through!"
The two brothers were overjoyed. They never expected that a meal and a cup of water would allow them to break through their cultivation levels and successfully reach the late stage of Qi Refining. Now, their cultivation levels are both at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Seeing that Wenwen was not moving, the two brothers exchanged a glance, got up and walked to Master Huida, where they gave him a heartfelt bow.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, senior. Wen Chengjian/Wen Chengbin will never forget your great favor!"
Just then, Wenwen's protective shield suddenly began to shake violently. The two brothers watched helplessly as the air currents inside the shield surged and churned rapidly. At the center of the shockwave, Wenwen's clothes billowed, her hairband was blasted off, and her hair came scattering in a chaotic mess. All they could see was a head with a cascade of ramen-noodle-like hair flying about...
"Senior, my sister..."
