Seeing the "vegetable garden" in front of them, Long Zixuan and Lu Rang were both shocked, staring speechlessly.
The "vegetable garden" was planted with a myriad of vegetables, such as cabbages, tomatoes, cucumbers, and more...
But those were by no means ordinary vegetables!
A cabbage was resplendent all over, with the aura of Dao flowing through it, as if each leaf were a vast and boundless world!
A tomato plant bore clusters of fruit, each one like a crimson star, containing terrifying power, making one almost afraid to look directly at them.
A pile of green beans, each one like some mysterious weapon, exuding an extremely sharp aura; a slight breeze seemed capable of slicing through the entire world.
"Heavens... what place is this? What kind of person is our master?"
Long Zixuan murmured!
Any single plant from this "vegetable garden" would cause a frenzied scramble throughout the whole Xuantian Realm if it ended up in the outside world, likely plunging the land into chaos.
"I'm going to die, ah I'm dead!"
Lu Rang's eyes were wide with fervor, blazing to the extreme.
What kind of mortal bliss is this?!
To actually have the chance to tend so many divine objects!
He didn't even dare to guess their grade anymore.
"Hehe, how is it? Isn't the vegetable garden my master tends quite impressive? Work hard, and tonight you'll get to eat the vegetables from here."
At this time, the puckish Zi Ling spoke up with a smile.
She still remembered the expression she and Nan Feng had when they first saw this vegetable garden.
They were absolutely flabbergasted.
But, later on, they had gotten used to it. After all, they ate from the vegetables in the garden every day... numb, truly numb.
Hearing this, Long Zixuan and Lu Rang were even more incredulous, saying, "Sister, are you saying, are you saying we can eat these for dinner?!"
The two were utterly stunned!
"Yes, eat whatever you want."
Zi Ling said with a smile, suddenly moving forward to pluck a few tomatoes, "Master, how about we have scrambled eggs with tomatoes tonight?"
Li Fan smiled and replied, "Sure, you should also learn the art of cooking with your Sister Nan Feng."
"Yes, Master! I'm off to the kitchen!"
Zi Ling said as she bounced away.
Long Zixuan and Lu Rang were left standing there stupefied, this was for real?
Nan Feng also smiled and said, "Disciples, no need to be amazed. Our master knows everything; all of this is quite ordinary for him."
Upon hearing this, both took a deep breath and exchanged looks, their eyes swiftly filling with endless anticipation.
Anticipation for dinner!
Meals made from Holy Medicine... too incredible to even think about!
"All right, Lu Rang, if you want to learn the Cultivation and Rearing Path, the first step is to learn how to loosen the soil."
"Don't think that loosening soil is simple, though anyone can do it, to bring "Three Lives Soil" to just the right looseness also requires constant practice."
As he spoke, Li Fan gripped the hoe, suddenly lifted it, and then brought it down, embedding it into the soil!
The three onlookers all changed their expressions.
They clearly saw that the moment Li Fan lifted the hoe, it seemed like the heavens nearly collapsed, the Star River trembling!
But when the hoe hit the ground, it was as if lifting it was effortless, and though endowed with endless power, it embedded into the soil without harming a single growing vegetable sprout!
"Learning to loosen the soil and cultivate the land is only the first step in the art of planting and rearing, yet it is the most fundamental one. All plants rely on the land, and the condition you bring the soil to decides the level of crops you can grow."
"Apart from loosening the soil and cultivating, watering and fertilizing, managing and caring, none can be neglected. Though they seem simple, they too contain profound principles."
After Li Fan finished speaking, Lu Rang fell into deep thoughts!
To him, Li Fan's words were like the enlightening sound of the Supreme Dao, piercing through all darkness, revealing an unseen vast world!
The single hoeing motion Li Fan had just performed was deeply engraved in his mind, impossible to dispel, turning over and over again!
"My master's hoeing has opened up the Supreme Dao for this disciple!"
Lu Rang deeply bowed and said, "Disciple understands, and I shall strive to learn and aspire to set foot on the Cultivation and Rearing Path as soon as I can!"
Li Fan nodded and said, "Come, it's yours! From now on, this hoe is entrusted to you."
With that, he handed the hoe to Lu Rang.
Seeing this, Lu Rang trembled even more.
This hoe was absolutely something that surpassed an Immortal Artifact.
Could he truly use such a treasure for farming?
He felt so fortunate he was nearly fainting from happiness.
Nan Feng saw this and smiled, knowing that Lu Rang had obtained a great opportunity.
Expectation glittered in Long Zixuan's eyes.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the pond."
Li Fan looked towards Long Zixuan, and then strode toward the pond.
Long Zixuan followed closely behind, with Sister NanFeng trailing after, and even Lu Rang, full of curiosity, wanted to know what Dao Li Fan would impart to Long Zi Xuan, so he hastened to follow.
They arrived at the pond's edge.
Merely approaching it, Long Zixuan felt the shattered Dragon Soul within him dancing wildly, leaping joyfully, reawakening!
His heart swelled with anticipation!
"In this pond, your master has reared some koi. Rearing fish is also a delicate task that can cultivate one's disposition. If you learn to observe the koi, you will find a different kind of pleasure."
Li Fan picked up a bowl of feed and said, "In truth, learning to feed the fish is enough."
After finishing his words, he casually grabbed a handful and threw it into the pond.
The several dozen goldfish in the pond instantly swam towards the thrown feed!
In an instant, everyone seemed spellbound!
In their eyes, they clearly saw the pond transform into a boundless ocean!
Li Fan appeared as a deity from the heavenly firmament, casually tossing down stars into the vast sea.
In the depths of the sea, dragon roars shook the heavens, as several red-gold Divine Dragons rushed towards those stars, devouring, assimilating, and emitting terrifying power!
In a fleeting moment, the feed was consumed, and the pond became tranquil again.
"The creatures your teacher rears in this pond are indeed divine…"
Murmuring to herself, Sister NanFeng realized that she had never paid attention when Li Fan was feeding the fish. Only now did she discover that the koi in the pond were such horrific, shocking behemoths!
She even felt that if it weren't for Li Fan's presence, just a glimpse of that truth would have been enough to crush them alive with the overwhelming shock of peering into a Supreme mystery!
With this thought, she couldn't help but glance at Long Zi Xuan.
Long Zi Xuan's face was utterly stunned; he stared blankly at the pond, his body shaking with excitement!
He finally understood why he had felt something upon entering this courtyard, why the shattered Dragon Soul within him had been so restless and eager!
Now he fully understood.
What was being reared in this pond... was a pond full of True Dragons!
Ancient True Dragons!
