Stepping out of the courtyard, everyone headed straight for the open space in the village.
Zi Ling, Nan Feng, Yun Xi, and the others were all very curious and looking forward to whether the seafood would be tasty.
"By the way, Master, when we were coming, an elder chased us."
Jiang Li spoke up, saying,
"That elder... is not easy to deal with."
"Second Elder has already gone to intercept him."
That elder, after all, was a suprely powerful martial artist. He felt it was necessary to report to his master.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan seed a bit surprised. An elder who was hard to handle?
An elder... how tough could he be?
"Never mind, don't worry about it."
If it had been so sort of bully, Li Fan might have been concerned, but it was just an old man. What was there to fear… No need to pay it any mind.
Moreover, he had already established his Foundation!
Foundation Establishnt Level One, who would he fear?!
Seeing this, Long Zixuan and the others felt even more secure.
With their master being so nonchalant, it seed that the elder... didn't matter!
Before long, they had arrived at the open space.
Before them on the ground, a huge fishing net was filled with various types of seafood piled up like a mountain!
The threads of the net were hung with oysters, scallops, sea snails, and inside, various fish continually jumped around, while crabs and lobsters scurried back and forth; there was even a hundred-pound tuna, what a bounty!
At a glance, these things... weighed thousands of pounds!
A truly bountiful harvest!
By now, the villagers had all arrived.
Families, young and old.
Amid the joyful laughter, Uncle Zhang honed his knives while Auntie Wang busily boiled water!
"Wow, so this is seafood... such a big crab!"
Zi Ling and a group of girls ran over excitedly upon seeing this.
"Such big shells... I heard there might be pearls inside!"
"I heard that the multiple-fish has super tender at!"
"Big octopus... Is this what the Demon King ntioned for making stir-fried squid tentacles? So many legs, quick, cut them off!"
They were all gawking at the seafood.
Even Li Fan, quite pleased, walked over and rolled up his sleeves, saying,
"Co, today your master will let you taste authentic seafood. Sign up for whatever you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you."
Upon hearing this, the disciples were thrilled.
"Master, I heard that chopped chili fish head and pickled fish are delicious. Today I want to treat myself!"
Qing Chen's eyes shone.
"Big Brother, I want to eat big sea snails!"
Xinning picked up two large sea snails, her face full of excitent.
"Master, I also want to eat sea snails, and... and big lobsters!"
Zi Ling also grabbed a few lobsters.
"Great Demon King, I want to eat stir-fried squid tentacles... and tuna too!"
Yun Xi grabbed the fin of the tuna, dragging it with all her might!
Li Fan smiled and tied on an apron, ready to get started.
However, just then, an aged voice ca.
"Little Li, so you've finally co."
On the other side, Second Elder had approached, followed by a raggedly dressed old man with ash-gray skin, looking as if he was gravely ill!
"Master... it's him who chased us."
Jiang Li spoke gravely to the elder.
Hearing this, Li Fan imdiately put down the kitchen knife and walked over, asking,
"Second Elder, who is he?"
He looked towards Luo Xingchen.
As Luo Xingchen walked up, he was already trembling with fear, terrified by the village's sight. Now lifting his eyes and seeing Li Fan, he faltered even more, his body shaking like a leaf before he suddenly knelt down.
The previous elder had already been horrifically terrifying...
And now, in this tiny mountain village, such an existence appeared?!
"I saw nothing... don't kill , please don't erase !"
"I am willing to gouge out my eyes and cut off my mories, big boss please spare !"
He lay on the ground, utterly panicked and fearful, seemingly having encountered the most terrifying thing in the world!
And everyone who witnessed this was stunned.
For a mont, they couldn't react.
"He... isn't he a martial arts powerhouse?"
Nan Feng couldn't help but speak out.
Just now, Long Zixuan had told Nan Feng and the others about what had happened in the Martial Desolate Forbidden Zone.
They all knew that the guardian of the Martial Venerate Evil Corpse was a true world-defying powerhouse.
But now...
A so-called world-defying powerhouse, even stronger than the veteran Martial Honor, was kneeling right in front of their master?
And yet... filled with such fear and terror?
"His aura is indeed unusually strong..."
Dugu Yuqing remarked solemnly.
"He's truly a major challenge to transcend."
Qing Chen also said.
"No matter how powerful... facing the master, they must kneel."
Lu Rang was extrely smug!
...
Upon seeing this, Li Fan was stunned, "What on earth is this?"
I don't look nacing or evil, so why does this old man... make it seem like I'm about to kill him?
Has he gone mad?
"This..."
He looked towards Second Elder.
Second Elder just sighed deeply and said solemnly:
"His mind is not right, he's ntally unstable!"
"At the entrance of the village, when he saw , he imdiately knelt down to beg for rcy. Seeing his tattered clothes and unstable ntal state, I tested him by telling him that cow dung was delicious, and he actually said he wanted to eat it…"
"While walking on the road, whenever he encountered a blade of grass, he would get as frightened as if he had been bitten by a snake. Seeing an insect, he was even more afraid that the caterpillar would eat him…"
"Little Li, this is truly a pitiful person!"
After hearing Second Elder's account, everyone was even more shocked.
Treat cow dung as tasty?
Afraid that a caterpillar might eat him?
This guy is supposed to be a supre boss, yet it sounds like he has a ntal disorder?
They all looked at Second Elder with a complex expression...
"I can't help but feel... maybe Second Elder is the real mastermind, turning a strong man insane just by facing him..."
Lin Jiu Zheng couldn't help but mutter.
"Isn't it that this guy is too weak… but rather, the village's caterpillars are too strong?"
Jiang Li had also co to a realization. He had long known that nothing in the village was simple, but it was beyond his expectations that an insect could frighten such a strong man…
anwhile, Luo Xingchen, kneeling on the ground and hearing Second Elder's words, was also stunned for a mont. He felt that the big shot's account was strange… Had he beco ntally ill?
But he dared not object, not uttering a word because, after all, who would dare challenge a forbidden powerhouse.
...
Upon hearing this, Li Fan was surprised.
So he truly was a madman!
He couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder, an old man could chase after Long Zixuan and others. Encountering a ntally ill person, any normal individual would be scared and would choose to walk a wide berth around him.
Moreover, the old man looked tattered, his skin ashen, like a starving ghost... he must have had a tough life.
A frail, elderly man, ntally deranged, wandering everywhere... truly a pitiful person!
Li Fan couldn't help but feel so sympathy and asked:
"You're afraid I'll kill you?"
Luo Xingchen, hearing this, hurriedly kowtowed, and said:
"You are an unspeakable forbidden existence, the supre respect revered by all in eons, an invincible grandmaster in heaven and earth... Killing would dirty Your hands, I beg You!"
Second Elder said:
"This old man must have suffered so trauma. He was spouting nonsense just before, chanting like he was reciting a scripture…"
Li Fan nodded, surely a ntal case, none of his words made sense.
Forbidden existence, Supre respect, grandmaster... These terms sound like they're straight out of a fantasy novel!
And were these descriptions in any way related to him, a re Foundation Establishnt Level One cultivator?
At this ti, Second Elder moved close to Li Fan and whispered for a discussion:
"Little Li, I brought him back because this poor old head is ntally unstable and lives a miserable life. If we drove him away, I fear he wouldn't last long on his own outside."
"Why not let him scrape by with so food in the village, or if it cos to it, let him follow Tian Bei and others in picking up garbage."
Li Fan, hearing this, pondered for a mont.
Second Elder and the villagers were kind-hearted, keeping this ntally ill man in the village seed acceptable to everyone.
But with a madman, who knew when he might have an episode...
What if he beca violent and hurt soone in the village?
If only there was a ntal hospital in this world...
"System task issued: Build a ntal asylum and have twelve holess ntally ill people settle in the asylum."
At that mont, the System's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
Li Fan was startled.
Damn... this Dog System, always causing trouble?
Its tasks... were getting more and more ludicrous!
Build a ntal asylum and find twelve ntally ill?
He nearly wanted to spit blood!
"Dog System, have you gone mad…"
He couldn't help but speak up in his mind.
The System's voice then continued:
"Completing the task can break through the current realm."
Break through the current realm?...
Doesn't that an breaking through Foundation Establishnt to beco a Golden Core Stage powerhouse?!
Li Fan suddenly felt... maybe this task wasn't totally unacceptable.
For the sake of reaching the Golden Core Stage, to leave the small mountain village and fly with swords, enjoying freedom across the world...
Let's go for it!
He imdiately nodded and said:
"Second Elder is right, let's keep this ntally ill person in the village."
"Later, we'll build an asylum, especially for him to reside in... hmm, we can even appoint Ming Tianbei as the director of the asylum!"
...
Congratulations to the garbage team leader, Comrade Ming Tianbei, on his promotion to director of the asylum.
Good night.
