Chapter 207: Leading an Era, Enlightening the Ordinary!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Nianfan did not emphasize his words, but it sounded like an explosion to his audience!

Vroom!

Especially to Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun. They felt their scalps itching and their heartbeats racing.

The expert had…a motive?

Normally, the expert did not care about anything. Even so, they were still able to get massive opportunities from the gap between his fingers!

Now…the expert was no longer unperturbed?

Imagine how big this opportunity would be!

It must be beyond their imaginations! Very terrifying!

They could not help fixing their gazes on Zhou Yunwu. So much envy was oozing out of them that they longed to replace him.

‘Dude, do you even realize?’

‘You’re in luck! You’re about to get so lucky!’

Qin Manyun could not help saying, “Teacher, I suddenly envy the ordinary people.”

Yao Mengji sighed and said bitterly, “Me, too.”

“Actually, we should’ve guessed this would happen,” Qin Manyun said with a thoughtful and complex look. “The expert has been living in the realm as an ordinary man all along. Of course, he’d treat the ordinary men differently. Furthermore, we’ve neglected the expert’s name all this while.”

“Li…Nianfan…”

Yao Mengji’s pupils dilated. He did not dare to speak his full name. He merely thought about it briefly in his mind. Instantly, he felt so blessed. “Exactly! Ordinary men have always been the majority in the realm. Since the expert feels for the ordinary men, it makes sense for him to get involved. It took us so long to realize the most crucial part! How foolish of us!”

Qin Manyun took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, “It seems we’ll have to change our relationship with the ordinary men from now on. Especially with the Emperor of the ordinary kingdom!”

Even though Zhou Yunwu was still a Prince, after spending some time with him, there was no doubt that he had the potential to become the Emperor!

Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang were feeling even more excited!

Their faces flushed red and they were shivering all over.

They felt like a kid who finally earned the approval and support of his parents after having made a big decision.

They wanted to cry…

Zhou Yunwu said, almost crying, “Sir, do you think I have the right idea?”

“The ordinary men rely too much on the Immortals. They don’t trust technology nor medical research. They don’t strive for improvement and lack creativity. They muddle on blindly without having any goal. They’re incapable of overcoming hurdles!” Li Nianfan sighed. He finally concluded, “They…need to be enlightened!”

Meng Junliang and Zhou Yunwu were very moved but guilty at the same time. The expert was indeed an expert. His words were so well put!

They bowed to Li Nianfan in unison. They said humbly, “Sir, please, guide us!”

“Me? I’m not interested.” Li Nianfan shook his head. Although he was moved, he had no interest in causing more troubles for himself. He smiled and said, “Isn’t this both your dreams? One dreams of ruling the ordinary, the other dreams of preaching to the others. You two may lead the enlightenment.”

As Li Nianfan spoke, Meng Junliang and Zhou Yunwu felt their shoulders sinking from the weight that was placed on their shoulders. Somehow, some changes were made in the world.

Meng Junliang sought advice. “May I ask, how would you lead them?”

LI Nianfan said, “Let’s go, I’ll teach you.”

Everyone walked with him to the deep end of the palace anxiously. They were not only guarded by soldiers. Yao Mengji also used his divine consciousness to keep a close eye on their surroundings.

Everyone had a feeling that what was about to happen today would turn the world upside down!

Li Nianfan did not explain right away. He took out a pen and paper. Then, he wrote down a prescription and handed it to Zhou Yunwu.

He said, “Follow this prescription to boil the herbs. This will be able to help them fight the plague.”

Zhou Yunwu accepted the prescription with a pair of trembling hands. He almost could not believe this was happening.

Everyone else was stunned as well. If they did not know that Li Nianfan was no ordinary man, they would not have believed him.

The plague that caused so much death in the Immortal Realm could be easily fixed with a piece of prescription?

“Thank…thank you,” Zhou Yunwu read the prescription hastily. He saw that many of the ingredients were common herbs that could be easily found. There was no need for Spiritual Herbs, not even rare herbs. These were all common herbs in the Immortal Realm, some were even treated like wild weeds!

Speaking of elixirs, it was naturally sought-after here. They claimed to be able to detox, strengthen, or even Immortalize one’s body. It was linked to many imaginations.

As for normal wild weeds, they all had a bitter taste. Some even assumed they had poison in them. Thus, many people were uninterested in them.

Everyone looked at Li Nianfan in disbelief. “This…this…”

“Every being works against one another. There’s nothing that’s the strongest nor the weakest. As I said, once we understand the reasoning behind things and can see through the materialistic composition of things, many problems can be solved.”

Li Nianfan paused for a second. He then continued, “The ordinary people now lack a preacher.”

“Thank you for your teaching,” Zhou Yunwu said politely. Instantly, he passed on the prescription for them to prepare the herbs.

Meng Junliang said, “Sir, could you please tell us the reasoning behind things?”

“Didn’t you walk all over the world and claim to understand the reasoning behind things? You don’t even know about this?” LI Nianfan mocked him. Then, he said, “I’ll tell you all a story.”

“A long time ago, before humans were more civilized, there was a man named Divine Farmer. He had seen all the sufferings in the ordinary realm and saw how many people were plagued by illness and pain. Thus, he started tasting hundreds of herbs, separating each herb into a cold, warm, normal, or hot category. He distinguished the herbs and their interrelationships as if he was distinguishing an ordinary man from a minister, or even an adjudicator. He then recorded how each herb could be used to cure different diseases. At one point, he was intoxicated by seventy types of toxins. Unfortunately, he accidentally ingested a high-level toxin and passed away.”

Meng Junliang jolted. He could not help standing up and feeling guilty. “Sir Divine Farmer sacrificed himself for the people! I’m nothing in comparison to him!”

He suddenly realized how foolish he was. He was merely looking at some sights and yet he thought he had understood the reasoning of life! All he knew were the names of flowers and plants, but he had no clue about their usage. This was not knowledge, this was ignorance!

Li Nianfan waved it off. He smiled and said, “It’s merely a story, don’t treat it as reality. The main point of the story is the spirit in it. The importance of taking the lead.”

“Luckily, I do know the usage of herbs quite well, so I don’t have to risk my life to…taste them all. It does save a lot of trouble.” Li Nianfan smiled.

Everyone looked at Li Nianfan without speaking.

Story? Anyone with a brain would know that it was impossible for it to be just a story!

If this was a story, how would he know the usage of the many different herbs?

It was very likely the expert knew the man named Divine Farmer! Perhaps he was the Divine Farmer himself and just made up his death to get away with it.

The story happened in an uncivilized era. Did that imply that the expert already existed back then?

Gasp…

Ancient? Pre-ancient? Perhaps even earlier?

Terrifying! So terrifying!
