As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Time seemed to freeze in this instant, countless bursts of divinity weaving between heaven and earth, wild winds rising and chaotic gusts roaring.

It sounded as though the fluttering of robes echoed endlessly.

Xi Xi’s Purple Aura Divinity cascaded down like a waterfall, unbothered by the neutralizing effects of the White Jade Staircase. Having surpassed Gongshu Wentian, her pace grew ever more hurried, increasingly urgent.

Urgently wanting to devour the small snack gifted by the shopkeeper.

She only wanted to climb to the peak of the White Jade Staircase quickly, without anyone interrupting her meal.

There would not be another disturbance, like when she was interrupted by that purple-haired youth.

“Tea egg!”

Xi Xi crushed the white Thunder Chess Piece, and the item the shopkeeper instructed Li Che to deliver to her then appeared in her chubby little palm.

Holding a tea egg the size of her fist, Xi Xi’s big eyes flickered with a hint of shimmer.

Xi Xi was ecstatic!

Merely inhaling the aroma wafting from the tea egg made Xi Xi feel her saliva uncontrollably begin to flow.

It was a truly unique scent, infused with an intense tea fragrance and an incredibly rich and perfected egg aroma!

The shell was riddled with cracks, allowing the tea-infused broth to completely permeate the food.

Xi Xi’s chubby fingers began peeling the shell.

She paid no attention to the fact that the bits of shell falling to the ground were slowly dissolving, transforming into the sands slipping through fingers.

Her gaze remained fixed intently on the tea egg, as if she were staring at the entire world.

Indeed…

The world of a foodie is just like that.

Supremely pure.

Admitting not a speck of dust into their vision.

The de-shelled tea egg looked as refined as a delicate porcelain art piece, its surface adorned with cracks imbued from the broken egg shell. The cracks spread and blurred, resembling ink strokes dispersed by the wolf brush in the hands of a master calligrapher.

Truly mesmerizing…

Xi Xi happily opened her mouth wide and took a bite.

And then, Xi Xi suddenly felt blazing eyes upon her.

She tilted her head upward.

A gentle breeze fluttering, wisps of ethereal mist curling upwards.

It was as if someone had walked right out of myth itself, stepping steadily before her, white hair, white beard, white robes billowing—with a bent posture leaning in to meet Xi Xi’s gaze as she squatted on the ground nibbling her tea egg.

Their gazes—one large, one small—seemed to traverse time and space, culminating in an unexpected collision.

Xi Xi’s eyes glistened like dewdrops.

The Qian Yuan Divine Sect’s Grandmaster Divine Sculpture seemed to come alive, a gentle smile gracing his face.

His expression was filled with admiration and indulgence as he gazed at Xi Xi.

He marveled at Xi Xi’s talent.

Her Purple Aura Divinity hung like a reversed waterfall, manifesting a spectacle never seen before—even that brat Taibai…

Couldn’t compare to such innate talent!

Martial Path, Divinity, Divine Weapon, Divine Talisman, Divine Sculpture, Divine Pill…

Indeed.

This tea egg was simmered with an extraordinary assortment of medicinal ingredients paired with tea leaves, flawlessly integrating their medicinal properties into this single egg—it could be called a medicinal cuisine.

Its therapeutic essence far exceeded that of an ordinary Divine Pill!

Xi Xi’s innate talent for Divine Pills had been nearly completed in an instant; within this tea egg also resided Dao Yun…

Six aspects of Divinity achieved perfection!

Undeniably a six-dimensional prodigy!

Cheating…

Is it even possible to cheat like this?

The Grandmaster had his eyes opened to astounding wonders!

This little girl…

Ranked first in the Talent Test!

Undoubtedly!

Anyone who dared question her would receive a resounding slap from the Grandmaster himself!

The Grandmaster’s opened eyes glimmered with admiration, affection, and indulgence…

Xi Xi’s glistening big eyes…

Held a hint of flustered nervousness.

As though she’d been caught sneaking a bite…

The two locked gazes for roughly three breaths.

And then.

Xi Xi opened her mouth wide.

Nom.

She stuffed the rest of the tea egg into her mouth, swallowing it whole, cheeks puffed out and bulging.

“Mmmph!”

“I don’t have any left!”

Xi Xi said, hand clamping over her mouth.

As if…

Afraid the Grandmaster might snatch her food.

“Hahahaha—”

The Grandmaster, seeing this, couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.

The light emanating from the shattered egg shell swirled around him like gusts of wind.

He raised his hand and gently placed it atop Xi Xi’s head, causing an intangible wave of white energy to flow forth from his palm, spreading across Xi Xi’s form like misty currents.

Xi Xi, chewing as she felt the cool and refreshing white energy washing over her body.

She blinked her eyes, feeling curious.

This white energy…

Why does it taste a little like the snack gifted by the shopkeeper?

“This is the Dao Yun Qi Column. As the first place in the Talent Test, you receive nine feet of Dao Yun Qi Column…”

“Second place gets three feet, and third place one foot. Beyond that, no Dao Yun Qi Column shall be bestowed.”

“At the conclusion of all three tests, the height of the Dao Yun Qi Column determines the final outcome…”

“The highest Dao Yun Qi Column earns a Dao Yun gift, while all others shall have their Dao Yun retracted into the Small Cave Heaven.”

The Grandmaster gently ruffled Xi Xi’s hair as he spoke.

His voice carried not only to Xi Xi.

It seemed to blend into the wind, traveling down the White Jade Staircase like Dragon Ridge, cascading to the ears of every Divine Child ascending the stairs.

Upon hearing this, Xi Xi’s eyes gleamed bright.

With a loud gulp, she swallowed the tea egg into her belly. Her eyes sparkled as she wiped her mouth and stared at the Grandmaster.

“Grandmaster, what is Dao Yun? Can you eat it?”

Xi Xi asked earnestly.

Upon hearing this, the Grandmaster burst into laughter once more, so hearty that the entire Small Cave Heaven seemed to tremble slightly.

He did not answer Xi Xi’s query.

The Grandmaster Divine Sculpture re-solidified, his flowing robes swaying lightly as he gazed into the distant horizon.
