Instantly, Xiao Bai carried the black mountain goat to the side.

“The black mountain goat is still alive, this is so evil, you should have ended its suffering earlier.” Xiao Bai said as it smacked on the head of the goat who was struggling.

The black mountain goat died peacefully.

Xiao Bai then nodded, “Well, this is not bad. It’s still fresh.”

With that, it started pulling out its fur. Xiao Bai was good at this, it did not take long before the floor was covered in a layer of black wool. The black mountain goat became bald.

“What pure wool! It can make some warming clothes.” Li Nianfan could not help sighing. “If it’s not for my appetite, I’d have grown this goat. After all, the fur comes off quickly and unlimitedly.”

Payne said hastily, “If you need it, we could go and catch a few more over.”

“No need, I’m just saying.” Li Nianfan smiled and shook his head, “After all, I don’t need so much wool. I don’t supply clothes anyway, just a small amount is enough.”

As he spoke, the soup of the hotpot was prepared.

It was nothing fancy, just the usual two-colored one. To Li Nianfan, the flavors of hotpot were either spicy or non spicy. The other flavors did not make that much of a difference.

The two contrasting soup bases made Payne and the group look rather intrigued. There were two different soup bases in there with a clear and curve line. It looked very mysterious.

After putting the soup on top of the heat, the temperature went up while the soup started to boil. The bubbles were rippling like two Yin and Yang fish swimming and entangling.

The crowd was shocked. The expert was clearly using the Law of Yin Yang to steam the food!

The expert was indeed so particular about the food. They sniffed at the fragrance coming from the soup base, their fingers could not help moving. They were in luck today!

“Please have a seat first, we need to wait slightly longer.”

Gu Xirou sat down, her face changed as she was about to ask a question, “Mr. Li, when we came in, I noticed there are two golden lotus…”

“Ha-ha-ha, mentioning this, it’s delightful!”

Li Nianfan could not help smiling. A golden light appeared on top of his head. There was a golden light shining on top of his head. It formed one circle after another, exuding an air of sacredness. It made Li Nianfan appear in a very majestic light, making it hard for one to look at him in the eye.

Payne and the group were just about to sit, instantly they jumped up. How they wished to remove their jaws!

This…

Merit! So much Merits!

“During the trip, I was lucky enough to have learned to cultivate the Deluxe Merit, I can call you all brothers now.” Li Nianfan showed off with satisfaction. He felt good about himself while remaining calm on the surface, “Come, have a seat. It’s not a big deal.”

Lucky? Not a big deal?

If they did not know that the expert could basically do anything, they would have collapsed!

Payne was the first to snap back to reality, he said in fear, “Mr. Li is a Deluxe Merit Saint. You calling us brothers is looking at us too highly!”

He was the expert! How would they ever earn the rights to be called his “brothers”? Was it not obvious? The expert could simply give out the Deluxe Merit so effortlessly!

Gu Xirou and Gu Changqing greeted, “Congratulations to Mr. Li.”

Li Nianfan waved it off, he smiled, “This is merely to make my life more convenient. Don’t be too shocked, treat me like the past. The hotpot is ready soon, let’s start.”

Convenient? How could a Deluxe Merit Saint not be convenient?

“Oh, okay.”

Payne and the two nodded, they looked at the hotpot but felt as if they did not know how to start. This thing…how shall they eat it?

There were quite many dishes on the table, but they were mostly raw.

“Everyone, just pick the food you prefer and dip it in the soup. It won’t take long before you can start eating.” Li Nianfan performed a demonstration.

“I see.”

The three of them instantly understood. They said with respect, “This way of eating is so mysterious and convenient!”

“Just cook what you eat, it makes sense. What a feast!”

“Compared to the usual way of eating, everyone sharing the same pot brings us closer to each other. This is the beauty of life. This hotpot is wonderful!”

The three of them added onto one another, how they wished to worship this hotpot! The final conclusion: Mr. Li was indeed a genius, he even invented the hotpot!

Li Nianfan could not help smiling, he said, “These are unimportant. The key is that it’s delicious. It warms us up.”

All three of them nodded, “Mr. Li is right.”

During the meal, everyone gathered around it. They were indeed happily blended in, especially with the mist coming up from the pot, and the sense of anticipation given off by the pot, they had a different dining experience.

Having hotpot was not merely the delicious taste, it was the ambient. If not, why would they call it a tragedy when someone had hotpot all by himself.

“Gulp!”

There were bubbles coming out from the bottom of the pot. In the spicy half, the red chilli oil was boiling. It looked scary but made one want to taste it. Compared to the ordinary half of the other side, the spicy side was more tempting.

What Li Nianfan did not expect was that after tasting the spicy side, Gu Xirou and the two fell in love with the spicy base. The heat and the spice blended in, resulting in them making a sizzling sound due to the heat and spice. Her mouth opened and closed, her face flushing bright red.

However, they were the Immortals. They were unafraid of having spicy food and thus they could eat all they wanted. How admirable!

As they were enjoying the feast, Xiao Bai walked out with the tray, it called out, “Lamb roll is coming!”

“Wow! The meat is here!” Nanan was instantly happy, she cried out happily, “Put it here, put it here.”

The red and white lamb meat was thinly and equally cut into rolls. They were neatly placed on the plate. The way Xiao Bai cut the meat was so professional. They looked clean and refreshing, even if it was raw, it made one want to eat it right away.

Since the hotpot was used to cook raw ingredients, therefore the raw ingredients had to be carefully chosen. Especially the colors, they had to be particular about the colors, they had to be neatly presented, looking clean and clear.

“Lamb rolls are the best and most nutritious food to have in the winter. One meal of lamb keeps you warm for three days.” Li Nianfan reached out his chopsticks and picked up a roll. He then placed it into the spicy base and boiled it. He said, “The lamb roll goes best with the spicy sauce. Furthermore, the roll is thinly cut, you only have to count to seven in your heart and then it’s ready to eat. If not, it’ll be too old, affecting its texture.”

However, what Li Nianfan found strange was that he noticed Payne was not interested in the meat. In fact, he was more interested in the vegetables. His main target seemed to be put on the…chives!

Although he was subtle about it, he would pick up some other vegetables, but he would not miss out the plate of chives! The chives were finishing, and they were all eaten by Payne alone. It was hard not to notice…

Li Nianfan did not ask, seeing that Xiao Bai was making more lamb rolls, he had to attend to him personally. He smiled, “Brother Payne likes to eat chives, please wait for a moment. I’ll harvest some more.”

Payne stood up hurriedly, he said sounding embarrassed, “Mr. Li, no need. I feel bad.”

Li Nianfan smiled, “You’re my guest, there’s nothing to feel bad about. Furthermore, these chives don’t cost anything. They grow so rapidly, coming off one batch after another.”

With that said, he stood up and walked to the backyard.

Gu Changqing looked at Payne strangely. Why did he not know that his Sect Master liked to eat chives? There were so many vegetables in there, why did he only have the chives?

Seeing that there was a chive floating in the pot, out of curiosity, he reached out his chopsticks and picked it up. He wanted to try it.

As the chive went into his mouth, the taste was indeed good. Of course, that was not the key.

Every food prepared by the expert was nothing ordinary. They all had shocking benefits.

Gu Changqing was tasting it carefully, he gradually let out a shocking look. He could feel his stomach burning, making his body warm. This sense of warmth was different from the warmth of a hot spring. It was coming from within, especially the lower stomach which felt like burning.

Instantly, he understood. His eyes widened as if he had discovered a new land! He stared at his Sect Master, “Sect Master, you, you…”

Payne’s old face flushed red. He straightened his face and scoffed, “What? Do you think the expert is harvesting the chives for me? Didn’t you catch on the deeper meanings in his words?”

Payne not only perfectly changed the topic, he even spoke with a hint of anger and accusation.

“Deeper meanings? What deeper meanings?”

Not only Gu Changqing, the others looked at Payne, too.

Daji said, “What deeper meanings did my master have?”

“Miss Daji, you don’t know.” Payne stood up hastily and said with a polite tone, “The gourd seed that Immortal Gu gave to the expert, and the…Gaming Console, we got them from a black shop.”

“Black shop?” Daji raised an eyebrow, she seemed interested.

The gourd seed gave out an Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Gourd. While that Gaming Console had many powers in it. They were very helpful, who would have thought that they came from such a place.

Payne nodded, “Yeah, this black shop is to trade items. Two of these were exchanged with the fruits given to us by the expert.”

“What’s there to do with what my master is implying?”

“Immortal Daji, when I came in, the expert talked about wool. He said how it can grow more after shaving. He then talked about the chives, harvesting one batch after another.” Payne paused and continued, “He’s clearly hinting at the black shop. Think about it, if we keep on bringing things over, we will get out some good things from there all the time. Wouldn’t it be just like the chives? One batch after another, if we keep on repeating this, there would be so many treasures!”
