I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 533: Empath Sect. The Water of the Suffering Sea’s Blessing

Qin Yun said, “All that can’t change the fact that you’re money-obsessed.”

Qin Chuyue said out of the blue, “Give me your money.”

“Impossible! No way! Over my dead body!”

“Ha...”

Li Nianfan was ashamed to say he did not know the directions as a local in the Area of the Gods. He needed Qin Chuyue to lead the way.

Inside an abandoned temple.

The campfire slowly burned.

“Delicious, so delicious...”

Qin Yun chewed on a huge piece of donkey meat as he watched Daji serve Li Nianfan. He cried, “So delicious that I’m crying.”

Qin Chuyue asked, “How delicious is it? What does it taste like?”

“Tastes like jealousy.” Qin Yun bit on the donkey meat and instantly cried harder.

It was truly delicious, but it also tasted like jealousy. He cried from envy.

He thought Li Nianfan was already a successful man because he had a beautiful wife like Daji, but that was not all.

He had another wife as beautiful as Daji. More importantly, they cooked for Li Nianfan and would feed him.

Moreover, the meal was delicious. He had never eaten anything that delicious in his life.

‘Such amazing wives! How can any man deserve them?!”

Daji picked up the best donkey meat with chopsticks. She fed Li Nianfan and asked, “How’s the taste?”

“Yeah, it’s good. It’s a huge improvement.” Li Nianfan nodded. Then, he said, “But it’s clear that the donkey meat wasn’t evenly heated. Don’t overlook this detail as it affects the quality of the meat. Take note of this in the future.”

Daji and the Fire Phoenix nodded at the same time. “Yeah, we understand.”

Qin Yun instantly felt like the meat was not delicious. He felt full watching Li Nianfan show off.

‘Such beautiful and caring Goddesses are your wives, and they made you such delicious food. How can you still be picky?

‘This is too much!

‘Is he trying to hurt my feelings? Boohoo...

‘What’s your cheat code for life?’

Li Nianfan looked at Qin Chuyue as he ate. He asked, “Oh yeah, what cultivation sect are you guys from?”

Qin Chuyue smiled and replied, “We’re from the Empath Sect.”

“Em...path Sect?” Li Nianfan arched his eyebrow. ‘There’s a sect like that? Or maybe it’s only a title?’

“Yeah, our cultivation’s related to emotions, so we’re the Empath Sect.”

Qin Yun nodded and said, “Humans have various emotions in life. We’re bound to have emotions. Like my sister, she can actualize her cultivation through common people’s emotions for silver.”

“Yeah,” Qin Chuyue nodded. She said proudly, “Money can buy anything. Do you think my powers are awesome? If I can’t buy it, it means I can’t afford it.”

Li Nianfan nodded. “It’s awesome.”

Fire Phoenix smiled and asked, “But why call it the Empath Sect?”

Qin Yun smiled and said, “There’s a lot of suffering in emotions. Emotional cultivation can only be completed through suffering and empathy.”

Then, he lowered his head. He had a subtle pained flash in his eye.

“Oh yeah, Mr. Li, I have something from the Empath Sect.”

Qin Chuyue suddenly spoke up. She flicked her wrist and out came a wooden washbasin.

Inside the washbasin was clear water. The water was slightly greenish. The water’s surface was oddly calm.

“There’s a special sea in the Empath Sect, named the Suffering Sea. This is the water of the Suffering Sea.”

Qin Chuyue smiled. She introduced it to them, “This water’s slightly bitter, but there’s an effect if you drink it.”

“What effect?”

“If you drink this water with your lover of the opposite sex, the Suffering Sea will bless your relationship.”

“Yo, so magical? The world’s indeed big and wondrous.” Li Nianfan thought it was marvelous.

Qin Chuyue looked at Li Nianfan and the others. She suddenly changed her statement, “Of course, sometimes it’s not accurate.”

Li Nianfan instantly liked Qin Chuyue.

She said that to help Li Nianfan. If any accidents happened, he could backtrack.

After all, if Li Nianfan and the others drank the water but were not blessed by the Suffering Sea, it would be awkward. That would affect their relationship.

If only one girl got the blessing, it would be even more awkward...

He said, “Let’s try it.”

He had two wives but he liked them both. He felt like he had no biases.

Li Nianfan and the two wives drank a bit of the Suffering Seawater.

It was slightly bitter to the taste as if it was bitter tea. Perhaps it was a conditioned response, but he instantly thought of the word ’emotion’ in his mind.

Then, the faces of Li Nianfan, Daji, and Fire Phoenix were reflected in the water in the washbasin.

Ding dong!

The calm water of the Suffering Sea rippled when the three faces appeared. Then, the clear seawater started to glimmer.

Qin Yun was slightly taken aback. “A reaction so soon?”

Then, there was a shine that came out from the washbasin. It was a neon rainbow that was blinding. The siblings felt pain in their eyes.

The rainbow finally formed a rainbow heart figure in thin air. It flew toward Li Nianfan and the others. Then, it popped like rainbow fireworks. It exploded around the three of them.

Qin Yun twitched his mouth. “Sis, what’s going on? What’s the Suffering Sea doing? Why do I feel like it’s trying to perform?”

“I don’t know why but the ever calm and subtle Suffering Sea seems to be very excited right now...” Qin Chuyue looked at the merry Li Nianfan. She mumbled, “Even lovers who went through romantic struggles won’t get a reaction like that. Right?”

“Haha, awesome. Awesome.”

Li Nianfan laughed, “Lady Qin, the Suffering Sea’s indeed magical. I can’t believe we got a magical moment like that. This is the best and most meaningful wedding gift we’ve received.”

It was the ultimate symbol for the lovers. It would be very wonderful for couples in the past realm.

Li Nianfan suddenly suggested, “Lady Qin, don’t you like money? I think you can make a business out of the Suffering Sea. I believe a lot of couples will want to try it. You can earn until your washbasin’s full of money.”

Qin Chuyue smiled awkwardly. She would indeed earn a lot of money, but she would probably be beaten to death.

She did not know about other couples, but the couples who came to the Empath Sect to be blessed all broke up...

Moreover, some of them started to split their property on the spot. They even calculated how many sips of water they had. They even tore each other’s pants.

They came holding hands but left trying to fight each other.

The Empath Sect almost became a divorce center.

Because of that, the Suffering Sea unknowingly became a forbidden land. It was crowned with the title of being cruel and merciless. It would tear love apart.

Qin Chuyue smiled awkwardly and said, “Mr. Li, to be honest, your magical moment is...one in a million.”

“I’m instantly happier now that you said that,” Li Nianfan laughed. Then, he said, “You let us try your water of the Suffering Sea. There’s sweetness where there’s bitterness. We have something nice, too. It’s called a Lollipop. It’s very sweet.”

Qin Yun and Qin Chuyue were both curious. “Lol... Lollipop?”

Li Nianfan flicked his wrist. Several colorful Lollipops appeared in his hand.

It seemed... Delicious.

Meanwhile.

Somewhere in a world.

On the calm sea’s surface.

The sea was beautifully blue. The seawater did not seem to be moving. There were no waves or ripples, not even wind.

An elder with an Asian conical hat sat on a wooden raft. He was covered with a mino. He was still on the sea’s surface. He was fishing at that moment.

His eyes were shut. He had wrinkles all over his face like a dried old man. He was unmoving like a statue.

People without knowing the context would probably think that was a scene from a painting. It was forever still.

Suddenly, the still scene moved without a warning. Waves appeared. A subtle light slowly shined through the horizon in the color of a rainbow.

The elder had to open his eyes. He was shocked.

“This...this is...”
