I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot - Chapter 291

The disciples looked at their Palace Master and fell silent. They had perplexed looks on their faces.

They did not expect their Palace Master to have a breakthrough with the title Milk-Drinking Maniac.

Was there such a good thing in the world?

Ye Liuyun pretended to be well in front of his disciples to maintain his reputation. He was in a good mood. He smiled and said, “Right, how’s the thing I asked you to investigate going?”

Two disciples stood up and said, “Replying to the Palace Master. Regarding the Xuan Water Bracelet, we only found that it appeared in the hands of a Yuan Water Real Immortal three thousand six hundred years ago. However, a thousand years ago, the Yuan Water Real Immortal suffered from Five Decays and failed the Natural Tribulation, resulting in ultimate death. Therefore, the possession of the Xuan Water Bracelet is still unknown.”

“A bunch of nonsense!” Ye Liuyun shook his head. “In other words, you didn’t find anything!”

The two disciples exchanged a look and did not speak.

Ye Liuyun scoffed coldly, “If he suffered from Five Decays, one would normally choose to find a secluded place to wait for the arrival of death. Do you know where the Yuan Water Real Immortal was last seen?”

One of the disciples said, “Seems to be in the West. There are some traces of him appearing at the West Mountain Range Sky.”

“West Mountain Range?” Ye Liuyun’s eyes were filled with deep thoughts. He frowned and said, “There are countless mountains and those who’re afraid of death or awaiting death like to stay there. Therefore, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack.”

He was frustrated.

This was the first task the expert had given him. This was his chance to make up for his previous mistake. The expert did not hold a grudge against him and helped him to breakthrough. If he did not complete this task, how could he not be ashamed?

Meanwhile, far away up in the sky, some clouds were moving. Swiftly after, a figure gradually appeared. It was a skinny elder dressed in grey.

The elder glanced around and saw how badly shaped the Liuyun Palace was. His eyes flashed with a burst of vague laughter. He made a gesture and smiled at Ye Liuyun. “Greetings to the Liuyun Palace Master.”

Ye Liuyun remained calm. He asked, “Where are you from? What are you here for?”

The elder in grey said, “It’s not convenient for me to mention the name of my master. However, he sent me here to pass on some words that the Liuyun Palace Master would be interested in.”

“Speak!”

“My Master said that the world’s changing. Many opportunities have been blocked and the future’s vague. However, some opportunities might appear. The fact that your Liuyun Palace has turned to this shows that you’ve touched upon something.”

The elder paused. He then continued, “There are signs of changes appearing. My Master’s secretly inviting some Immortals who share the same view over to have a discussion. He wonders if the Liuyun Palace Master would be interested.”

“Oh? What are you all planning to do?” Ye Liuyun’s expression remained unchanged while he was scoffing coldly in his heart, ‘A bunch of frogs under the well jumping around trying to mess things up! I can clearly see through it. If you want to mess with the peace of the expert, you have to go through me first!

‘I’m the expert’s most loyal spy!’

“You’ll find out after the discussion.” The elder smiled. “Is the Liuyun Palace Master saying yes?”

Ye Liuyun nodded, “Yes, I do!”

“Wonderful, I’ll go and inform the others. The time isn’t set yet, but the venue will be at the Tiandang Mountain. We’ll let you know the exact time by then!”

The elder in grey smiled. “Don’t mind me telling you this, but those attending this discussion are at least Golden Immortals. This is the so-called one in ten thousand years gathering, also known as the Top Immortal Cultivators Conference. You won’t regret attending.”

Ye Liuyun wore a look of surprise. “Really? Wonderful!”

…

At the Ordinary Realm.

Inside the four-part architecture.

The crowd followed Li Nianfan back to the front yard.

Dragin and Nanan could not wait to bring over their stools. They sat with their eyes sparkling.

“Everyone, please, have a seat,” Li Nianfan said. Then, he continued, “Xiao Bai, bring over some soda water and some fruits. Then, bring this donkey to the kitchen to cook.”

“Yes, my beloved master,” Xiao Bai happily accepted the order while Ziye and Taoist Xinghe watched with terror.

This was also a super mega bigshot! And yet the expert simply instructed Xiao Bai? If it was not for the expert, they would never dare to speak to this kind of existence, let alone having it serve them!

Ziye could not help saying, “Thank you so much, Xiao Bai.”

Li Nianfan waved it off and said nonchalantly, “Xiao Bai’s just an ordinary home robot. It’s good at chores and has no other use. It’s not a big deal.”

Xiao Bai nodded. “Exactly, I’m just an ordinary home robot. Please, don’t mind me.”

Ziye and the rest forced a stiff smile. Their hearts were beating wildly and they did not dare to speak.

This was a conversation between bigshots. They could not step in.

Soon, soda water and fruits were served. Xiao Bai said, “Master, what flavor would you like the donkey to be cooked in?”

LI Nianfan smiled. “Slightly spicy.”

“Alrighty!” Xiao Bai accepted the order and went away to work diligently.

Li Nianfan looked at his yard. He could not help smiling.

Looking around, this yard had turned into an educational teahouse, except his students were a bunch of Immortals and Demons. What a sight!

His bootlicking business was doing better and better!

He coughed gently and said, “Continuing where we left off.

“Nezha rushed ahead to catch up. He stood on Ao Bing’s neck and lifted the Circle of Universe. He pointed it at the door to force out the essence of the Third Prince. It was a dragon, stretched out on the ground.

“Nezha said, ‘The essence of this tiny dragon is out. Whatever, I can use its tendons to make some dragon band and armor…’”

This simple sentence made everyone react, their organs shaking vigorously with chills all over their bodies.

A dragon died just like that? Its tendons were being torn out for use?

That was a real dragon! The Third Prince of the Dragon King! He was always known to be arrogant and powerful!

This…was beyond imagination!

“Argh!” Dragin cried out in shock, her tiny face had gone pale. “How did the Third Dragon Prince die?”

Li Nianfan shook his head and said, “They didn’t have a choice. The fate of the dragon family’s quite tragic.”

When a dragon was born, it might already be in a very powerful realm that was equivalent to many years of human cultivation. However, according to the myth, other than a few super-powerful dragons, the rest were not too impressive.

Dragin almost cried. She asked, “Why?”

“This would date back to an even earlier story.” Li Nianfan paused for a moment before he continued, “The most renowned story was of the Battle of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Unicorn. The battle was fierce, and due to that, they committed a crime against Heaven and were abandoned by Heaven. Their luck dropped vigorously, and following that, they played the role of sacrificed characters. They had been going downhill since.”

There was no solution to them being abandoned by Heaven.

One was the son of Luck, the other was abandoned by Heaven. Perhaps one went out and the son of Luck peed on him and was eventually drowned to death.

An even earlier story?

The Battle of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Unicorn?

The expert even knew who was abandoned by Heaven?

Everyone’s scalp turned numb. It was as if their blood had stopped circulating. They had chills all over.

How could he simply speak such terrifying words?

What period was the expert from? Dated back to an earlier time? Was he as old as the world?

The longer they spent with the expert, the smaller they felt about themselves. How they wished to drill a hole and bury themselves in it to become a small ant.

The Fire Phoenix and Dragin who were directly related to this were shocked.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Unicorn seemed to be enemies with too many internal conflicts. This was embedded in the deep ends of their brains, but somehow, they remembered nothing.

In this instance, they suddenly understood why the elderly Dragon King was hiding away beneath the pond. The outside world was too dangerous!

“Alright, alright. It’s just a story, let’s stop there. I’ll continue.” Li Nianfan waved it off and continued with the previous story.

The crowd nodded, not daring to ask nor speak.

Following that, the Dragon King was furious and he wanted to drown the town. Nazhe was forced to cut off the flesh of his father and mother as punishment. However, Tayi used lotus roots to rebuild the bodies…

The story was unfolding and the crowd listened as if they were intoxicated. Their inner selves were drunk from this majestic storyline.

As major figures started to appear one after another, the story started to unfold after all the setups. From a third person’s perspective, one could clearly feel how dark the fights were.

Up until the point where Jiang Ziya used the flame to burn the Lute Demon, Li Nianfan stopped. He smiled and said, “Alright, we’ll stop here for now. Stay tuned for the next session.”

The crowd did not speak. They did not even pester him for more as they needed time to digest.

Many characters of the ‘Investiture of supreme-rulers’ had treasures in hand, refreshing their world views. Furthermore, whether it was humans, demons, supreme-rulers, or even dragons, their own lives seemed almost worthless if they were in this story. They could die anytime.

They all felt chills all over.

The world of a bigshot was indeed very dangerous.

Meanwhile, a waft of fragrance appeared and everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

They looked in the direction of the fragrance and saw that rows of golden-burnt donkey meat were ready.

The meat was wrapped in flatbread. Due to being deep-fried, the outer layer was unequally burnt and golden-yellow. Some were darker than the others. However, this made the dish seem even more tempting.

The flatbread was not closed. There was an opening in the middle.

Inside, it was filled with red donkey meat which was sizzling from the heat, giving out smoke which was the source of the fragrance.

It smelled good, it smelled so good!

Gulp!

The crowd gulped in unison. All the impure thoughts in their minds had been tossed away. They only had one thought left, ‘Eat it!’

Dragin and Nanan had already ran over. They could not help grabbing one each. They were warm to the touch.

They opened their mouths and bit on the middle part that had the most meat.

Munch!

The crispy outer layer made a crisp sound. It was the perfect texture. One could bask in the fragrance of the flatbread while enjoying its texture.

Swiftly after, the sensations of the donkey meat tickled the taste buds as if a volcano was exploding, filling up the entire mouth with some juiciness.

The donkey meat was different from other meat. It had one extra feature—it smelled good!

It smelled so good!

“Hmm…so yummy!” Dragin and Nanan’s faces flushed red. They were munching loudly as if they had forgotten about everything. They were feeling unprecedented bliss.

Even Blackie who was sleepy earlier suddenly jumped up and started barking.

 Woof, woof, woof!

Li Nianfan asked Xiao Bai to distribute the meat to each of them. “Come, everyone, enjoy.”

The deep-fried flatbread was not soft and snow-white like the steamed buns. The dough gave off a nice fragrance once fried in oil.

This was the first time the crowd had seen something like this. They could not help feeling amazed.

Apart from the benefits of the food, the fragrance of it alone was able to make the Immortals fight for it.

Bigshot was indeed a bigshot. The food the expert ate was indeed different from the ordinary people.

Perhaps even the Immortals had no right to taste such good food.

Perhaps only those bigshots from long ago had the right to eat these.
