Luo's Courtyard.
Master Ping wobbled into the living room with his belly as big as a pregnant woman's.
Before he even arrived, his voice had already made it first.
"I have a piece of good news and another piece of good news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Seeing Master Ping's beaming smile, Lin Shanshan couldn't help but feel cheerful too, "Then tell us the good news first."
Master Ping plopped into a big chair and said, "Thanks to you three and your Blood of Creation, Luo Xiu's situation is quite stable now. I have to say, the boy's got a massive luck; even in such a ss, he's still hanging on."
Lin Shanshan asked, "And the other good news?"
Master Ping replied, "Xi Yue brought the Stunning Phoenix Immortal here."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the Stunning Phoenix Immortal had arrived, the matters thereafter would be among the adults, and she, as a child, should certainly not pry.
With a pleased grin, Master Ping lifted a teacup, crossed his legs, and seeing the four won neatly seated on the sofa, asked, "What's this? Are you rich ladies planning to have rub your feet?"
Luo Ying chuckled, "If Master Ping is willing to give us a foot rub, it's not unwelco."
Master Ping shrugged, "Co on, if I rub your feet, that kid Luo Xiu would kill when he wakes up!"
Lin Shanshan rolled her eyes, "All you think about is foot rubs or massages. The Drunken Fragrance House is just about to beco a major taxpayer because of you. When are you taking for a foot rub, Your Highness King Ping?"
Luo Qianye chuckled, "Count in while you're at it."
Master Ping snapped his fingers, "No problem, I'll fix you up with so handso male technicians then!"
"But speaking of… the jade feet of our Empress of Yanhuang and the Plateau Saintess, not just anyone dares to touch those."
Lin Shanshan looked exasperated, saying, "All these jades are ruining you."
Master Ping chuckled, "Alright, let's get down to business. Why did you call Uncle here?"
Lin Shanshan straightened up and pointed at "Donkey Treasure" and the white mask on the coffee table, "Uncle Ping, take a look at these two things."
"So you called Master Ping over for an appraisal."
Master Ping put on a serious face, got up, and leaned in to inspect them.
He picked up the "Donkey Treasure" first, and after a mont of observing, his gaze shook.
"Holy crap, damn it, this is so top-notch stuff!"
Just like her dad, whenever Lin Shanshan saw Master Ping excited, she got excited too.
After all, Master Ping once road the Celestial Realm, and anything he praised as good must truly be sothing extraordinary!
"Let be blunt, it's a Shariputra!"
"A Shariputra?!"
The four won were amazed.
Master Ping, staring at the Shariputra in his hand, slowly explained, "Monks from the Wutian Spirit Land, upon entering the Emperor Realm, produce Shariputra within them. The higher the cultivation, the longer the age, the larger the Shariputra."
"In short, you can think of it as sothing akin to an inner core."
"Additionally, Shariputra also serves as a ans of inheritance in the Wutian Spirit Land."
"This particular Shariputra, I can only say, carries an opportunity enough to nurture a Heavenly Emperor. Perhaps it still holds the Taoist Arts and Divine Skills from its owner's past life, or even the Power of Laws, and maybe... even Primal Dao Qi!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxian felt a chill of fear, quietly grateful that she heeded Luo Qingyu's advice to bring back the Buddha Killer's bones upon return.
Otherwise, missing this supre opportunity would be a regrettable loss.
Lin Shanshan suddenly extended her hand, "Give it to ."
Reluctantly, Master Ping handed the Shariputra to her, "So stingy, can't Uncle Ping play with it a bit more?"
Lin Shanshan solemnly put away the Shariputra, then looked at the white mask.
"So what about this?"
After examining it for a mont, Master Ping said, "I can't really tell much, but upon probing with Divine Sense, one can feel a very evil aura, so evil it's revolting."
"And the patterns on the surface resemble the Tao patterns of so Sealing Skill."
"To truly uncover its mysteries, it would probably require Divine Sense as strong as your dad's."
He tossed the mask to Lin Shanshan and said, "Whatever the case, these are both treasures; how do you plan to handle them?"
Lin Shanshan stored the mask and replied, "These are my dad's spoils. Naturally, I'll wait until he wakes up for him to deal with them."
Master Ping grinned, "You're quite the filial one! After all, you're his only daughter; what's his is yours, isn't it? If you ask , you should use up that Shariputra."
"If I were you, with a dad like him, I'd surely be reckless!"
Lin Shanshan smiled slightly, "And when my mom starts scolding , will you help out?"
At this, Master Ping's face went pale, quickly changing the subject, "You figure it out yourself! By the way, do you need anything else? If not, Master Ping will take his leave, gotta check on your dad at the Heavenly Craft Institute."
Lin Shanshan expressed her gratitude, "Uncle Ping, my dad's care is in your hands."
Master Ping waved his hand generously, "No need for formalities with . We've been through thick and thin."
Lin Shanshan sweetly smiled, "With such kindness, Shanshan will forever be grateful. I'll definitely deliver your love letter to Ma Yanran."
Master Ping's face flushed red, "Get lost, I don't know you!"
"Hey—!"
"Eighth Master is here, who dares to act arrogant here? Insulting our Empress of Yanhuang!"
Out of nowhere, Lao Ba's distinctive nasal voice echoed from outside the courtyard.
Master Ping turned to look, his eyes brightening.
"Wow, Ugly Chicken?"
"What got into you to suddenly co back?"
Lao Ba flew into the living room, morphed into a human form, and laughed with his wings pointing at Master Ping, "My Uncle you dummy, you street rascal!"
"Co over here, let's see if Eighth Master won't teach you a lesson!"
Master Ping rolled his eyes, "I'm too lazy to bother with you."
Lao Ba suddenly noticed the ladies on the sofa, his bird eyes gleaming, "Wow, pretty ladies, those legs are longer than my life, what a waste to not be pedals!"
"But you all look exhausted and weak, what is this, a team spa day?"
Lin Shanshan was speechless, knowing this bird had been alongside her dad since childhood; his mouth was certainly never popular with the ladies.
Seeing the ladies ignore him, Lao Ba cleared his throat, stood up straight, and with a deep tone, asked, "Haven't you noticed sothing different about Eighth Master's return?"
Upon hearing this, the ladies took a closer look and noticed three golden feathers on Lao Ba's head.
Even a third bird leg had grown!
Master Ping's eyes widened suddenly, exclaiming, "Holy... Three-legged Golden Crow?!"
