Lin Qingyun walked forward. “Father, I’ll go with you.”

The both of them walked to the bottom of the tree and looked up at the beehive with a shocking look on their faces.

Lin Qingyun was very worried. She could not help asking in a low voice, “Father, are you really going to do it?”

Lin Mufeng had made up his mind. He did not hesitate as he said, “Of course, I have to. It’s my pleasure to be able to serve the expert.”

Lin Qingyun’s face turned pale as her voice trembled. “They’re Golden Bees! If you touch their beehive, you might risk your life!”

“Ha-ha, Qingyun, how well do you think the expert treats us?” Lin Mufeng asked out of the blue.

After a moment of thought, Lin Qingyun said, “Friendly and nice. He always gives us opportunities.”

“Remember this, there’s no such thing as free lunch in the world. Every expert has their weird ticks. Mr. Li likes to live as an ordinary man and likes it when others act along with him. You have to remember, his tick is an opportunity for us! Therefore, it’s our pleasure to have met the expert. Opportunity is given to us when we grab it!”

Lin Mufeng continued, his face was serious, “We’ve taken so many advantages of the expert throughout this trip. I’ll feel bad if I didn’t do anything.”

Lin Qingyun bit her lip. “Father, this is life-threatening!”

“Don’t you get it? This is another test from the expert!” Lin Mufeng smiled and said, “Since the expert likes to act like an ordinary man, he would give us opportunities through his hints. The truth is that he’s training his chess pieces! If I chicken out now, it shows that I’m not determined enough to serve him. What use is there in keeping me? Will the expert still ask me to work for him in the future?”

Lin Qingyun went deep into thought. She still looked uneasy.

“Your understanding is still too shallow!”

Lin Mufeng sighed and shook his head. “The expert gave us opportunities, so we owe him. Whatever he asks us to do, even if it’s life-threatening, we can’t hesitate! Although we still have fear as his chess pieces, we can’t chicken out!”

With that, he gradually flew up in the air and approached the beehive.

Buzz!

Countless Golden Bees swirled in the air, buzzing loudly. Lin Mufeng’s hair stood up all over him. He was extremely nervous.

A few bees were flying around him. His heart was in his throat. He was overwhelmed with fear.

If this happened in the past, he would have stopped moving right away.

“I cannot disappoint the expert!” Lin Mufeng took a deep breath and a look of determination appeared on his face. He started to approach the beehive.

It was like asking a person to jump off a cliff without wearing a safety harness. If the person was told that it would not be life-threatening and that he would receive many rewards after the jump, how many people would actually jump?

One would have to muster so much courage!

Buzz!

The buzzing became louder and closer. Many Golden Bees seemed to have noticed this uninvited guest and started to buzz louder as a warning.

Lin Mufeng gritted his teeth and fought off the gigantic stress as he lifted the square bucket, ready to capture them.

Instantly, countless Golden Bees moved faster. Suddenly, all the Golden Bees in the courtyard were now flying toward the bucket!

All these years, the number of Golden Bees was uncountable. They flew toward Lin Mufeng like a strong current. It was such a terrifying sight that even an Immortal’s scalp would itch seeing this.

Every time a Golden Bee slightly touched Lin Mufeng, he would feel a chill passing through him. Cold sweat was dripping from his forehead and his hands were trembling. He felt as if he could pass out anytime!

Yet, he had to keep calm and face it. He even had to put on a fake smile to act as if he was calm.

This was because the expert was watching. He could not reveal his fear!

The expert said these were ordinary bees. So, he had to play along with the expert.

He did not dare to move at all. He watched the Golden Bees enter the bucket as they followed their beehive. Some Golden Bees even flew in slowly and nonchalantly along with the others.

So terrifying. So nerve-wracking. So exciting. So life-threatening!

Phew…

‘It was indeed a test. I knew the expert wouldn’t want me dead for no reason.’

What an expert! Even the Golden Bees had to listen to him! His power was beyond one’s imagination!

Li Nianfan looked at this with a shocked expression. He could not help praising, “Awesome! What a cultivator indeed. You can even suck in the bees with the bucket! I learned a new thing today!”

Lin Mufeng looked like a statue. He was frozen and his blood almost seemed to have stopped moving. It was not until all the Golden Bees had gone inside the bucket that he gradually loosened up. He then shakily sealed the bucket with the lid.

As he landed from the tree, his legs went soft and he almost fell off. Luckily, Lin Qingyun quickly supported him.

He handed the bucket to Li Nianfan. “Mr. Li, I’m glad to be alive!”

Li Nianfan accepted the square bucket and smiled. “Thank you so much for your hard work. Do come by to taste some honey.”

Lin Mufeng was delighted. He said hastily, “Surely!”

‘It seems that the expert was impressed by my performance. I have to work harder in the future to become an amazing chess piece!’

“It’s time to go. I still have to return this rented boat to that elderly man.” Li Nianfan smiled and rowed the boat down the stream, leaving the Immortal Relic slowly…

A few hours earlier, an orb of light rapidly flew from the Azure Ville toward the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty.

It was Gu Changqing.

He had a big golden-feathered bird that had a flaming tail on his shoulder.

This big bird was the Firefinch Demon from the Immortal Land.

Now that the road between the two realms had opened up, with enough power, the Immortal Land would be able to exchange items with the Immortal Realm, just as they did back in the past. However, Immortals still could not come over to this realm as easily and cultivators could not go over.

The Firefinch stood on Gu Changqing’s shoulder and scoffed arrogantly, “Gu Yuan, you’re so dead! How dare you send me to the ordinary realm. You’re so dead!”

It was merely a Mahayala realm Firefinch. Once it was sent to the ordinary realm, it would be impossible for it to get back to the Immortal Land unless it became an Immortal.

“The air in this ordinary realm is so disgusting. Oh no, I can’t breathe!

“Your name is Gu Changqing, right? Your ancestor is done for! You’re done! Your entire family’s so done!

“My sect master will be so pissed!

“What kind of run-down place is this? It’s rubbish! Just you wait, I want all the peasants here to die!”

It was extremely arrogant and wore a look of disdain on its face. The Immortal Realm was deemed as low-class to the Firefinch Demon. Being sent here was like an insult to its existence!

Its grudge was so huge that it wanted to destroy this entire realm!
