As the time for rest approached, Cheng Xiaofan received a call from Liu Xinyue in Wangjiang City.
On the other end of the phone, Liu Xinyue said urgently, "Xiaofan, I just received a call from Director Tang from your village. He said he can't supply fruit ginseng to Pinweixuan tomorrow morning and can only supply super nutritious cabbage for now. He mentioned there's a problem with the fruit ginseng. Is that true?"
The vegetable patch at the foot of Xishan was specifically managed by Tang Guihua, and it was Cheng Xiaofan who had instructed her to call Liu Xinyue.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Sister Guihua is right. We discovered the problem this afternoon. The fruit ginseng supply will likely have to wait until the end of the year."
"However, don't worry. I'll be cultivating a new batch of vegetable seeds soon. I'll have the village's vegetable production team get them ready immediately, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied!"
"Oh, I thought perhaps we had said something wrong during our visit that angered you, causing you to stop supplying the fruit ginseng. You scared me to death!"
Liu Xinyue said, "Right now, our Pinweixuan relies entirely on your fruits and vegetables for support!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily, "Xinyue, you're being too suspicious. Given our relationship now, how could I possibly stop the supply!"
Upon hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, Liu Xinyue on the other end of the phone let out a long sigh of relief.
This made her ponder further. What exactly did Cheng Xiaofan mean by "given our relationship"? Could there be any hidden meaning?
"Xiaofan, thank you!"
Liu Xinyue said in a voice filled with tenderness, "No matter what, I'll always remember your kindness towards me!"
Fortunately, she had been prudent and had stocked some fruit ginseng, hoping it would last until Cheng Xiaofan's new varieties of vegetables were released.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xiaofan went to bed to rest.
In his sleep, Cheng Xiaofan transformed into a golden dragon once more, soaring through the vast starry sky. He boarded a dragon boat and then transformed back into human form. In his hand, he held a brush, sketching various Great Dao patterns in the void.
As his movements became more practiced, the Great Dao patterns he sketched emanated streams of brilliant, dazzling spiritual light, like the language of flowers, scattering all around in the starry sky.
All things in the world possess Dao imprints. By sketching the world with Dao imprints, all things gain sentience.
Sentient beings grow within the Dao imprints. Flowers have their language, objects have their language, stars have their language, and light has its language.
For a time, colorful streams of light gushed from Cheng Xiaofan's brush, like countless birds, spinning and soaring through the cosmos.
The Milky Way crashed against the shore, and the waves danced.
The symphony of the entire universe began to play...
After an unknown period, Cheng Xiaofan was awakened by a cacophony of birdsong. When he opened his eyes, he was startled.
He was supposed to be sleeping in the loft bed, yet he found himself lying on the branch of a large tree.
Cheng Xiaofan leaped up. Fortunately, he was only about a hundred meters away from the loft.
How could he sleepwalk like this, with no self-control, to the top of a tree in a primeval forest from his bed?
He recalled the last time he dreamed of transforming into a golden dragon and flying into the pond in his space, only to wake up in Bai Mang Lake. He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle wryly.
If one were to call Taobao mischievous, then the dragon power within him was countless times more mischievous!
Fortunately, this dragon power hadn't led him to the railway tracks, otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died if a train ran him over.
The eastern sky was already showing a hint of dawn.
Cheng Xiaofan took a deep breath and leaped. He was as agile as a bird, soaring over the treetops and flying back to the vicinity of the loft.
"Woof woof!"
Master, you're amazing! Did you fly back from Bai Mang Lake?
Why didn't you take this old dog with you?
Next time you go to Bai Mang Lake, you don't need to ride that fierce eagle. This old dog can ride on your back!
"Get lost!"
Cheng Xiaofan angrily kicked at the dog.
You wretched creature, what do you take me for? You want to ride on my back?
Bang!
Fortunately, Taobao was quick and dodged. Cheng Xiaofan's kick missed, but it severed a large tree next to them.
Seeing this, Taobao trembled with fear. If that kick had landed on him, would this old dog still be alive in this world?
Master has changed!
He's changed so much that even this old dog can't understand him!
His heart is so ruthless, to deliver such a heavy kick!
Cheng Xiaofan was also stunned. The force he had used wasn't that great.
How could a light kick break a tree that two people couldn't even embrace?
Fortunately, Taobao dodged quickly. If he had kicked it, would it still be alive?
Also, during the hot sun, Luoyang and Feng Xigua always relied on this tree for shade. Now, it was broken by his kick.
If Luoyang and Feng Xigua asked, how would he explain it to them!
Right, there's a legendary secret technique in ancient medicine that allows a severed head to be reattached. With the dragon power and spiritual energy within him, could he reattach this tree?
Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaofan didn't dare to delay. He cupped his hands around the severed tree on the ground, propped it up, and placed it on the broken stump.
He secretly exerted force with his right hand. As a green light flashed and disappeared into the tree, electric arcs flickered at the break, emitting faint crackling sounds.
The electric arcs were like a sewing needle, constantly stitching up and down.
In less than three minutes, the broken tree was perfectly rejoined, with no trace of the break visible.
Phew!
Cheng Xiaofan let out a long sigh of relief.
However, this had consumed a significant amount of his dragon power and spiritual energy.
He quickly took out a few energy pills from his space and swallowed them.
He hadn't expected that his dragon power and spiritual energy, when combined, could also rejoin a broken tree. He wondered if he could experiment on other animals.
When Cheng Xiaofan's gaze fell upon Taobao's head, Taobao yelped in fear several times and darted into the yard.
Master, just find a fierce eagle to be your guinea pig.
This old dog's head is too precious to endure your torment!
Fine, I'm scared of you, okay?
From now on, no matter how well you fly, I won't ride on you!
Of course, Cheng Xiaofan wouldn't experiment on Taobao's head. There were plenty of animals in the primeval forest; he could catch a wolf or a wild boar.
However, he didn't dwell on this matter.
The joining technique was only a legend, and he dared not experiment with it.
When it was fully daylight, Cheng Xiaofan returned home for breakfast. He told his mother that he wouldn't be back for lunch, as a boss from out of town would be coming to the back mountain to discuss some matters with him.
In front of Miao Xiuhua, Cheng Xiaofan did not mention the matter of Xianyu He's daughter.
After all, this matter was too incredible, unlike him riding the Skybreaker Eagle in the sky. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Even Cheng Xiaofan himself found it hard to believe sometimes. He could actually see the scene of Xianyu Jie's murder four years ago from the fluctuating aura emanating from that "Brother Leopard."
This ability was truly too heaven-defying!
Would ordinary people be able to accept it if he told them?
