Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

And if the shark silk was made into a robe, it would not only have a unique and beautiful colour but also strong defensive capabilities. It could glide through the water as lightly as a fish.

Every time a shark silk appeared in Tianyue Continent; it caused competition among female cultivators from all races. Li Tianyan looked at this one, realizing he could actually make a few outfits from it.

Cheng Qi touched the shark silk with curiosity. When the gauze surface moved slightly, a purple-blue fluorescent light flashed, resembling the stars on the seabed.

There were also many strange sea objects collected in the reef cave. Li Tianyan took these two that were useful, while the other items remained motionless, almost retaining their original appearances.

Cheng Qi took one last look at the two beings in the cave before leaving with Li Tianyan. Before departing, he closed the door of the cave again, while Li Tianyan set up a magic formation outside.

They let them sleep peacefully in the reef cave, ensuring nothing could separate them.

After leaving the reef cave, the next challenge they had to face was how to return back to the surface. Li Tianyan took out his compass and observed it, discovering that they had been taken away from the shallow sea by the whirlpool and swept thousands of miles under the sea.

Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi held each other’s hands in one, while gripping the dagger in the other. They used the water movement technique to escape to the surface.

.

In the Xuanxiao Palace of the Tianfan Immortal Sect, a bronze mirror hung in the sky. The sect leader, Xuan Zhen, stood before the bronze mirror, continuously injecting true spiritual energy into it.

Several Supreme Elders in the main hall waited with bated breath, but no one spoke.

After a long time, the bronze mirror finally reacted, emitting a dazzling light from its surface. However, after flickering for a while, it quickly dimmed.

When Xuan Zhen stopped, Tian Min asked anxiously, “How is it? Did you find them?”

Xuan Zhen shook his head, his face a little solemn. “No, the mirror can’t find any trace of the two of them.”

The Heavenly Mirror was the sect’s most precious treasure, but the energy stored within it was limited. Each use drained its power. If Li Tianyan hadn’t had a special identity, it would have been impossible for Xuan Zhen to take out the Heavenly Mirror.

Despite this, it was still impossible to locate the two of them. Although they knew that they were still alive, they feared for their safety.

Tian Min’s face turned gloomy upon hearing this. Ever since he returned after receiving the news of the truce that day, he had been unable to wait for Li Tianyan and the others.

Tian Min hadn’t thought much about it at first, but when all the disciples Li Tianyan took had returned except for two, he began to grow anxious.

Now that the two had been missing for more than a month, Tian Min had no choice but to ask Xuan Zhen for help, but he couldn’t even find them through the Heavenly Mirror.

Su Yu looked at Tian Min with concern. After so many years, he had finally seen him come out and accept two more disciples, but he didn’t expect the same thing to happen again.

If something unexpected occurred to Li Tianyan this time, Su Yu feared it would severely impact him.

The other elders couldn’t help but sigh. Li Tianyan was indeed a genius who had not been seen for a hundred years. Unfortunately, geniuses were always prone to attract jealousy, and only one in a hundred could truly grow.

At this time, Li Tianyan, who everyone thought was in more danger than ever, was in the Qiankun Realm, watching Cheng Qi busily dismantling a giant octopus.

The Earthly Essence had probably never seen a sea creature before. After encountering the octopus, he followed Cheng Qi incessantly, unable to calm down even for a moment as he whirred with excitement.

“What is this? It’s so ugly, but the man-eating tree is more beautiful!”

“Why is it so wet and slimy?”

“This tree root is really strange. Are those flower buds on it?”

“Ah ah ah, help, help, I’m stuck!”

Cheng Qi halted when he heard The Earthly Essence’s cry for help and quickly stretched out his hand to pull him free from the octopus’s sucker.

Once The Earthly Essence was rescued, he hid behind Cheng Qi in panic, patting his chest as he exclaimed, “Oh my god, this thing eats Xi soil! Burn it quickly!”

“How did you know I was going to use it to burn it?” Cheng Qi blinked and asked, while his hands deftly dug out the octopus’s teeth, then cut open its large head, extracting a pile of black, foul-smelling internal organs.

“I’m such a smart Earthly Essence; of course, I guessed it! Wow, what is this? It’s so disgusting and stinky!” The Earthly Essence jumped up and down behind Cheng Qi, continuing to scream.

“It will smell good after a while.” Cheng Qi said, cutting off the squirming octopi’s legs one by one. The thought of the aroma of grilled octopus legs made him salivate.

Li Tianyan couldn’t help but feel amused as he watched the two of them getting along, despite their comical banter. After confirming that Cheng Qi truly didn’t need his help, Li Tianyan closed his eyes again, concentrating on extracting the energy from the water spirit pearls.

After draining the two water spirit pearls in his hand and reducing them to powder, Li Tianyan was soon engulfed in the delicious aroma of roasted food.

“Young master, come quickly! The octopus is ready to eat!” Cheng Qi called out when he noticed Li Tianyan waking up.

“Is it delicious?” Li Tianyan asked, walking over to him and sitting down. He smiled and wiped the grease from the corner of Cheng Qi’s mouth, looking at the makeshift oven in front of him.

It turned out that Cheng Qi had sliced and grilled the large octopus, and the smell in the air was indeed tantalizing.

“It’s delicious! Young master, try it quickly! It’s really good!” Cheng Qi handed Li Tianyan a bowl and chopsticks, placing several pieces of meat into his bowl.

This giant octopus was a sea beast in the foundation-establishment stage, known not only for its flavour but also for being rich in spiritual energy. Cheng Qi couldn’t resist the temptation and had started eating while grilling it.
