Chapter 877: Young Friend Zhangqing, save me!

"You say, what exactly are we cultivators cultivating for?"

"Is it to pursue that illusory, elusive great Dao of longevity?"

"Or is it to find the legendary Immortal Realm's whereabouts, to ascend in broad daylight?"

"Or perhaps to wander freely between heaven and earth?"

Shi Qingfeng, eyes closed, lay on the bamboo chair, listening to his granddaughter's muttering beside him, likewise sighing with a complex expression.

"Yiyi, what exactly is the path of cultivation for? Everyone has a different answer............"

At first, they thought Shi Yiyi had some feeling, and Shi Qingfeng even tried to console her.

But as they talked, Shi Qingfeng sensed something wrong—what did this gradually violent spiritual power mean?

He opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Shi Yiyi, and in an instant, Shi Qingfeng jumped up.

"Holy shit............."

At that moment, Shi Yiyi had her eyes tightly shut, her consciousness not fully clear, muttering nonsense to herself.

And the spiritual power around her erupted uncontrollably from her body.

Moreover, under Shi Qingfeng's gaze, a cracking sound rang out.

"Dao heart............"

This is a sign of a shattered Dao heart—how did your Dao heart just crack like that?

Shi Qingfeng's eyes widened, his scalp tingling; just moments ago he and his grandson were chatting, and now his precious granddaughter's Dao heart had split?

At this point, Shi Qingfeng could only do his best to stabilize Shi Yiyi's Dao heart.

But as Shi Qingfeng's spiritual power entered her body, he tried his best to protect her Dao heart, yet it was only a temporary stabilization—Shi Yiyi's condition showed no sign of improvement.

Faced with this situation, even though Shi Qingfeng was a mighty emperor-level expert, he had no solution.

The Dao heart is profoundly mysterious; being able to temporarily stabilize it already makes Shi Qingfeng remarkable.

"What to do? How did the Dao heart suddenly crack?"

After pondering solutions in his mind, Shi Qingfeng still felt that the one who tied the bell must untie it.

Shi Yiyi's current situation is obviously caused by not having eaten breakfast.

He immediately didn't dare waste time, while stabilizing Shi Yiyi's condition, he scooped her up and vanished in a flash.

In Yunluo Holy City, inside the Yunmeng Pavilion, the many cultivators who had finished their rations still looked unsatisfied.

Not enough, simply not enough.

With this kind of ration, everyone felt they could have ten more servings.

Moreover, the taste was flawless, and the effects were surprisingly good.

At this moment, many cultivators believed the outside rumors; it seemed the Spirit Chef Alliance's spirit food now had effects comparable to the Pill Master Alliance's pills.

"Food Ancestor Sir, I wonder if we could purchase some of these rations?"

Someone couldn't help but feel hungry, respectfully bowed to Ye Zhangqing, then asked.

And upon hearing this, the others present also chimed in agreement.

"Yeah, I wonder if we could buy some?"

"Price is negotiable; Food Ancestor Sir, just set it as you wish."

Everyone present was wealthy—not just these cultivators, but even the members of the other four alliances couldn't help but interject.

"Our Pill Master Alliance can exchange pills; just tell us what pills you need, Food Ancestor Sir."

"Our Talisman Master Alliance is the same."

"Our Formation Master Alliance can too."

"And our Artifact Master Alliance as well."

"Wow, these four alliances no longer mention spirit stones; they directly exchange pills and talisman seals."

"If this had happened before, it would have been absolutely impossible."

"Exchanging pills and talisman seals for a box of rations—if this got out, it would surely drop jaws."

"But now, the many cultivators present are scrambling for a box of rations, unable to stop."

Faced with the crowd's requests and scramble, Ye Zhangqing laughed and said:

"Currently, the rations are limited; we have no plan to sell them externally for now."

"These rations can only be made by me now; although the Spirit Chef Alliance's cooks could also make them, their taste and effects cannot compare to mine."

"Before I have confidence, Ye Zhangqing does not plan to sell them externally."

"After all, that would be tantamount to smashing my own signboard."

"Hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the cultivators were all extremely disappointed, while the Spirit Chef Alliance's cooks hung their heads in shame."

"Following the Food Ancestor Sir this period, he indeed taught them a lot."

"Their own skills have improved greatly, but compared to the Food Ancestor Sir, they are still worlds apart."

"Now, the rations are so popular, yet they cannot reach the Food Ancestor Sir's level—indeed they can't even meet the minimum requirement—so they can only watch the opportunity slip away."

"If they could also produce rations meeting the Food Ancestor Sir's standards, the Spirit Chef Alliance could surely make a fortune."

"Just look at these cultivators' performance—the market is no worry; they could likely take as much as they want."

"It's a pity, they themselves are lackluster."

"For a moment, led by the three alliance heads, the Spirit Chef Alliance's cooks all secretly vowed to work harder, so as not to disappoint the Food Ancestor Sir again."

"Just as everyone regretted not being able to buy the rations, Shi Qingfeng and Shi Yiyi's figures suddenly appeared in the courtyard."

"Holding Shi Yiyi, Shi Qingfeng anxiously looked toward Ye Zhangqing and shouted:"

"Young Friend Zhangqing, save me!"

"Huh????"

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing startled—what's there to save when everything's fine?

The cultivators present also looked puzzled.

"Isn't that the Stone Ancestor senior?"

"Yeah, he actually came down in person."

"The one in his arms looks like Stone Ancestor's granddaughter, the Holy Land's direct disciple Shi Yiyi, right?"

"Not bad."

A cultivator recognized Shi Qingfeng's identity—he is one of the Yunluo Holy Land's Great Emperor Elders; normally, even if they wanted to make contact, they would have no chance at all.

But now the other party actually showed up at Yunmeng Pavilion, which is quite unexpected.

However, seeing Shi Qingfeng like this, it seems he has something urgent, and moreover, the condition of Shi Yiyi in his arms also looks off.

「Crack crack............ 」

In the midst of everyone's doubts, just then an excited Shi Qingfeng, having relaxed his mind, momentarily failed to guard Shi Yiyi's Dao heart, and instantly the sound of her Dao heart shattering rang out clearly.

Upon hearing that shattering sound, the many cultivators present were all stunned.

"What sound is this?"

"It sounds like the sound of a Dao heart breaking."

"Dao heart broken?"

The gazes of many cultivators fell on Shi Yiyi; after a careful look, holy shit, her Dao heart really shattered.

Although because of Shi Qingfeng, the Dao heart hasn't completely shattered yet, this clearly shows that cracks have already appeared.

What situation is this? As a Holy Land direct disciple, Shi Yiyi's Dao heart actually shattered? What's going on? I haven't heard that Shi Yiyi recently went out for training; even in the Holy Land, one could dry‑crack their own Dao heart?
