Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun smiled knowingly. This Divine Water was not something they could get on a normal occasion.

Qin Manyun’s lips curved up greatly. She remembered how she came to visit a few days ago. She had begged a few times but even so, Gu Ziyao did not want to serve her Divine Water. In the end, she got what she wanted anyway!

It was so nice to travel with the expert! So many benefits!

The main point of Divine Water was the ‘Divine’. Although it could neither directly increase one’s ability nor offer Insights, it could improve one’s divine consciousness.

Divine consciousness was regarded as the second pair of eyes to the cultivators. The stronger the divine consciousness, the more one could see and resist illusions. It was beneficial for future breakthroughs as well.

Gu Ziyao compared, “Mr. Li, this water has a refreshing effect. The taste is comparable to the jello.”

Li Nianfan was already captivated by the glass of water even before she said anything. He looked excited and nostalgic. Bubbles were floating in the water, bouncing up and down. He was very familiar with this sight!

It was carbonated water!

Only carbonated water had this sparkling effect!

He rubbed his eyes as he thought he was hallucinating. A wave of nostalgia overwhelmed him. Who would have thought that he would get to taste carbonated water in this Immortal Realm?

After examining it for a long time, he raised the glass and could not wait to take a sip.

Unexpectedly, the water was slightly sweetened, but the tingling feeling was there! He could feel its crisp texture numbing his mouth. After swallowing, the water felt as if it was jumping in his throat. It almost felt like his soul was trembling. How refreshing!

“This is carbonated water!” Li Nianfan could not help mumbling out loud. He looked at the glass of water with a sparkle in his eyes. Without saying anything else, he started gulping the entire glass of water in one go.

“Ah… Nice!” Instantly, he felt refreshed.

He almost felt like crying after not drinking it for so long!

Carbonated water was the original form of Sprite—mineral water infused with carbon dioxide. Li Nianfan had been trying to recreate carbonated water in this realm but with no success. The gas composition of this Immortal Realm was very different from his previous realm. To be fair, the gas in the drink was not carbon dioxide, but this did not stop Li Nianfan from calling it carbonated water.

The rest wore a knowing look on their faces. They smiled bitterly.

So, he gulped the entire glass in one go.

The expert’s divinity was probably stronger than they could ever imagine. If they drank it as fast as he did, their divinity would have exploded!

Gu Ziyao hastily asked for his glass to be refilled. She smiled, “If you like it, please, have more.”

“Thank you.” Li Nianfan smiled. He could not help sighing. “This water is close to what I had before, but the taste can still be improved. May I ask how this water is made?”

Gu Ziyao looked at Li Nianfan and bit her tongue. She stood up and said, “Mr. Li, I’ll be back in a moment.”

She signaled for Gu Ziyu to follow her. The both of them went into a room that had a fountain in it. A longan-sized blue bead floated in the fountain, rolling in its spot.

The amount of water was not a lot, but it was all Divine Water.

Gu Ziyao took a deep breath and picked up the blue bead.

Gu Ziyu glared at her. “Sister, are you really going to give this Divine Bead to the expert?”

“You’re still too ignorant. No further questions are needed!” Gu Ziyao shook her head. She said with a sparkle in her eyes, “The expert seems to like it. Also, the Linxian Palace gave their Thousand-Year Black Ice to the expert, so of course, we have to give him our Divine Bead! We’re already at a loss for starting late. We have to catch up!”

Gu Ziyu said, sounding worried, “Sister, aren’t you scared of offending father?”

“Who do you think our father is? He has already given us permission for such an occasion!” Gu Ziyao said solemnly. “You have to observe the expert’s eyes closely. If he looks at something for more than five seconds, it means it interests him. Do not hesitate to give it to the expert immediately!”

Gu Ziyu nodded blankly. “I think I get it.”

Quickly, they went back to the main hall. Gu Ziyao brought out the Divine Bead and said politely, “Mr. Li, once you put this in the water, it will turn it into…carbonated water.”

“Oh?” Li Nianfan looked at the bead in shock. “Is this the compressor? It can compress air?”

Compressor?

Gu Ziyao was confused, but anyone with the slightest wisdom would know well enough to automatically agree with Li Nianfan. “If Mr. Li likes this compressor, you may have it.”

Li Nianfan frowned slightly. “I came here empty-handed. if I leave with something…it doesn’t seem right!”

Gu Ziyao replied politely, “Mr. Li, this is just a small thing. We don’t need it anyway. It’s nothing!”

Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu watched Gu Ziyao silently, they could not help crying in awe inside their heads. Did she just call the Divide Bead a “small thing”? Where did her courage come from!?

“If so…” Li Nianfan hesitated for a moment, and thinking of the carbonated drink, it was too hard to turn down the offer. “I’ll accept this, then. Thank you so much!”

Gu Ziyao was delighted, she said, “You’re welcome. As long as you like it.”

The biggest fear of befriending the expert was the expert rejecting their offering!

This was a big opportunity!

After a while, the Gu siblings brought the guests from the main hall to a side hall. The side hall was not as big and slightly emptier. One could instantly see three paintings on the walls. Below each painting was a square table.

At one glance, it was obvious that these three paintings were different from one another. The first painting was of an Elder in long, white, flowing robes. He stood on a cloud wearing a peaceful and friendly smile. The second painting was of a pair of furious eyes and a sharp tooth glaring out from the darkness. The third painting was of a long white python.

The styles were completely different and one could easily tell their implications.

As expected, Gu Ziyao said, “These three paintings symbolize the Immortal, the Kraken, and a Demon. According to the legends, there are friendly and unfriendly demons, while Immortals and the Kraken can never get along.”

As expected, the Immortal Realm was filled with cultured people! The three paintings were well-painted! Even under Li Nianfan’s critical eyes, he could tell that the paintings not only showcased well-developed techniques, but the painter was also able to bring out the artistic conception of the Immortal, Kraken, and Demon perfectly as well. This must have taken quite a lot of effort!
