“Who are you?” Facing the enormous figure before his eyes that seemed to have no boundaries, Lin Meng’s eyes widened in horror. He swallowed hard and spoke in a tremulous voice. He was virtually in a state of shock.
He had just been paying his respects to Lord Willow God. Why had the surroundings turned so terrifyingly exaggerated once he closed his eyes?!
It was no wonder that Lin Meng was so horrified. The impression of Jiang Hui in the illusion was just too domineering.
His figure stood tall, rooted in the infinite space, spanning the universe. He was even surrounded by countless galaxies, making the sun and the moon seem as insignificant as dust,
This transcendent form utterly shattered Lin Meng’s imagination.
“Swishing…”
“Swishing…”
Jiang Hui’s leaves gently shook, emitting divine light, and streamers of multicolored light. The surrounding space trembled.
At such an astonishing sight, not only old man Lin, but also anyone else would definitely fail to stay calm.
“I am Lord Willow God.”
Jiang Hui directly replied, and his voice echoed thunderously.
Once he started speaking, the whole starry sky began to tremble, the Dao hummed, countless stars fell, leaves flickered with terrifying divine light, piercing the sky, as if every leaf was echoing with Jiang Hui, ready to forcibly tear through space and descend into the mortal world…
“Y-you… you are Lord Willow God. I… I…”
Lin Meng paused, his face flushing with excitement. But he was so moved that he practically stuttered.
“I have assumed my true form this time to reward you for your performance during this period. While I spend most of my time in endless sleep, I still have a trace of my spiritual consciousness watching over you. You have worked tirelessly, and you are neither arrogant nor impetuous. So, you have earned my encouragement.”
As Jiang Hui spoke, it was as if the heavens and earth were resonating with him, the sun and moon interchanged, and stars shifted and sparkled.
“These are the rewards that I am bestowing upon you. Remember to keep up the good work, and there will be even better rewards.”
Without waiting for Lin Meng to speak, Jiang Hui continued speaking and handed over the Junior House Construction Order and Inferior Dragon Elephant Strength Pills.
Then… he directly withdrew the illusion of Huang Liang’s Dream.
Now that his purpose was achieved, he simply did not want to keep discussing with old man Lin.
He had heard every word said by Lin Meng earlier and it made him feel quite sick.
It’s not that he couldn’t stand flattery, but Lin Meng’s words were too stiff and straightforward, which totally put him off.
…
Ide by side with Lin Meng.
Mrs. Zhang frowned, looked at Lin Meng and urged anxiously, “Old man, can you hear what I’m saying? What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly stop moving and kept laughing manically?”
Mrs. Zhang was somewhat nervous. Although hysteria was not fatal in the Wilderness, it certainly wasn’t curable.
Stirred by Mrs. Zhang, Lin Meng finally came back to his senses.
He first glanced at Mrs. Zhang, then his face was flushed with joy. “Hahaha, hysteria? Don’t speak nonsense, woman! I just had an audience with Lord Willow God.”
Old man Lin was flushed with delight, speaking with a touch of pride in his voice.
Of all people, he was the only one summoned by Lord Willow God. No one else could claim such honor.
“Lord Willow God? Old man, haven’t we been in Lord Willow God’s presence all this while?” Mrs. Zhang was even more puzzled.
“You silly woman, I just met the true body of Lord Willow God.” Lin Meng snorted.
As he spoke, he took out all the treasures that Jiang Hui had bestowed upon him.
There were a total of five Junior House Construction Orders and seven Inferior Dragon Elephant Strength Pills.
The shape of the Junior House Construction Order was diamond-like, about the size of a palm. It had an exquisite house engraving on it, surrounded by cloud images, and it was very delicately made.
The Inferior Dragon Elephant Strength Pills looked much simpler, just some dark pills about the size of a peanut.
“Dad, what are all these?”
Gazing at the unfamiliar items Lin Meng had suddenly taken out, Lin Zhuang and others immediately gathered around, all looking bewildered.
“These are what Lord Willow God has just bestowed upon us.”
Lin Meng chuckled, looking quite proud.
No one else was qualified to witness the true body of Lord Willow God, only he was. This prestige was really something.
Hearing that it was related to Lord Willow God, the breaths of Lin Zhuang, Lin Chen and others turned significantly quicker.
“Dad, how do we use these?” Lin Zhuang took a few Junior House Construction Orders and tinkered around with them for a long while but couldn’t figure out their use.
“This thing, huh?” Lin Meng frowned, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Not only Lin Zhuang and others didn’t understand, he also didn’t know. Lord Willow God seemed in a rush, and had just given these things to him without explaining their purpose or how to use them.
“What should we do?” Old man Lin scratched his head, contemplating whether to bother Lord Willow God about this matter again.
Biting his lip, Lin Meng asserted, “This should be some sort of weapon, something like a hidden weapon.”
“No wonder it’s palm-size with edges and angles. Turns out it’s a hidden weapon.” Lin Zhuang and others showed a look of understanding, but after a few glances, they seemed somewhat disinterested.
In their view, in the Wilderness, one could only rely on their fists. A fist-to-fist, flesh-to-flesh fight was truly invigorating. Hidden weapons were not popular among the people.
But considering that these items were gifts from Lord Willow God, everyone indeed still wanted to keep them.
“Dad, what about these?” Lin Chen’s attention was mostly on the Inferior Dragon Elephant Strength Pills. For some reason, he felt a strange attraction to these dark and unattractive pills.
“Stupid boy, these are obviously for eating, what else can it be used for?” Lin Meng gave Lin Chen’s head a light pat and chided with a laugh, sounding quite certain.
Even though Lord Willow God didn’t tell him their function, old man Lin believed these pills certainly had no other use beyond eating.
As for whether these pills were poisonous, that was not even a concern for them.
Come on, would there be poison in something gifted by Lord Willow God?
“You’re right, dad.”
Lin Chen laughed, wiping the sweat from his palms, and became unusually shy. “Dad, can you… give me a few of these to try?”
“You little rascal, thinking of taking a few! Lord Willow God only gave me a few. At most, I can only give you one.”
Old man Lin was not pleased after hearing his request. As he spoke, he carefully picked out one Inferior Dragon Elephant Strength Pill from the pile and handed it to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was no dawdler. He immediately put the pill into his mouth and swallowed it whole.
“How is it, Second Brother? Can you tell what it tastes like?” Old man Lin asked eagerly.
