I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 54: Secrets Everywhere, Treasure Everywhere

Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun both knew that they were not at the level to explore the Heaven and Earth dimension. It was as if they had a deathwish.

Anything could happen in the Heaven and Earth dimension and they could easily get into trouble.

Only someone like Li Nianfan could handle this dimension. Everyone else would envy him.

They were in luck, yet, they were incapable of enjoying it.

Luo Shiyu blushed and panted. She was under enormous stress.

She felt like a speck of dust—insignificant and bound to be doomed.

She could not stand it. She fainted and withdrew from the game.

When she regained consciousness again, she looked at the chessboard. She only made six moves in total. She totally lost!

Unbelievable.

Li Nianfan did not expect that either. He could not believe that there was someone who sucked so badly at this game.

Qin Manyun was a newbie but at least she knew the rules of the game. Luo Shiyu played like she was blindfolded. Her moves were random and stupid.

He stared at Luo Shiyu in disbelief.

What gave her the confidence to claim that she was good at chess?

Sigh, he should not have gotten his hopes up. She was a princess. She probably won because her disciples let her win on purpose. She thought she was a masterful player.

“I’m sorry, I... I...” Luo Shiyu almost cried. She did not know what to do.

She was panicking because she knew Li Nianfan was disappointed. He probably looked down on her. What if he hated her because of this?

Li Nianfan quickly comforted her. “It’s okay, I understand.”

This young lady must be terrified. She was told to be a masterful player her whole life. To suddenly find out that she was a beginner and that everyone around her had lied to her, anyone would be devastated.

What a poor girl.

Li Nianfan gave her some advice. “At least now you know the truth. You should practice more from now on.”

Li Nianfan advised her to practice and improve on her understanding. He urged her not to give up.

She was just glad that Li Nianfan did not hate her.

Luo Shiyu sighed in relief. She quickly replied, “Thank you, Mr. Li. I’ll practice harder from now on!”

Li Nianfan nodded.

Then, he frowned. Since Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu were bad at chess, he should send them off soon.

However, he was thinking of a gift to repay their kindness.

Since Qin Manyun was so polite and gave him jello, he should give her something in return.

Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu stood up and were ready to say their goodbyes.

Unintentionally, Qin Manyun glanced at a corner of the four-part architecture.

She was astonished. She felt as if lightning had struck upon her.

She ogled at the corner, breathing heavily.

That... That...

It was undeniable. That was definitely the Enlightenment Bamboo!

Common folk would not be able to recognize it, but as a Saintess of the Linxian Palace, she was familiar with the Enlightenment Bamboo. She recognized it instantly!

She did not notice it initially because she was nervous and distracted by the Spiritual Herbs.

Now, she realized that every corner of this place had something special!

At the pyre, the Fallen Demon Sword was stuck on a wooden stake. There was a stone bench not far from them where a red fiery ball was placed. That was a Dragon Fire Pearl. The chessboard was beyond an Immortal item, too!

Her eyes focused on the Enlightenment Bamboo!

Wait a minute!

She turned around and looked at the pyre.

Yikes!

Spirit Wood! All of it was Spirit Wood!

Only a powerful Dryad could produce Spirit Wood.

This, this...

Where did Li Nianfan get all this Spirit Wood? And why was he using Spirit Wood as burning material?!

The level of luxury gave her chills.

If anyone knew about this, they would kill themselves over how wasteful it was.

This was the house of a living God. Secrets everywhere, treasure everywhere!

She kept taking deep breaths to calm herself down.

“Keep calm. I have to keep calm and carry on. Let’s not upset the expert.”

Qin Manyun glanced at Luo Shiyu next to her, slightly envious of her.

Sometimes, ignorance was bliss. At least she did not have to force herself to be calm, unlike her.

“Mr. Li, may I ask about...” she asked and pointed at the Enlightenment Bamboo.

Li Nianfan took a look and casually said, “That’s leftover material from making my bow. It’s just trash. I’m going to burn it.”

Trash?

Burn it?

Qin Manyun almost stopped breathing. At the same time, she was extremely glad that she asked about it. Otherwise, the Enlightenment Bamboo would be burned!

Thank God! Praise the Lord!

She took a deep breath and steadied her voice. “Um... Could you give it to me instead?”

“You want it?” Li Nianfan looked at Qin Manyun weirdly. “It’s worthless, but be my guest.”

“Thank you, Mr. Li!”

Qin Manyun was overjoyed. “Truth be told, this bamboo would be the perfect material for something I’m working on which is very important to me.”

Li Nianfan nodded with understanding. She was a maker just like him. Bamboos were truly useful materials.

Li Nianfan laughed. He was struggling to choose a gift for her, but she had already picked something and was satisfied with it. She made things so easy for him.

Qin Manyun walked over and carefully picked up the bamboo. She packed it up with a piece of cloth and even took the dust around it.

“Mr. Li, sorry for the disturbance. We should take our leave now,” said Qin Manyun.

Luo Shiyu agreed, “Mr. Li, we’ll be going now.”

Li Nianfan nodded. “Yeah, goodbye.”

Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun walked out of the four-part architecture. They fastened their pace and headed to the foot of the mountain.

They had to deal with Li Nianfan’s request as soon as possible.

On their way down, they could see shadows flying by from time to time, causing them to frown.

Were these people done? They had better not disturb the expert!

They were worried as they clenched their jaws. The expert should not be disturbed at any cost!

Qin Manyun followed Luo Shiyu back to the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty. They briefly said their Greetings to His Majesty, then took off to the Linxian Palace in their skyship!

She needed to tell the big news to their Teachers and Masters and to request their help in completing their task as soon as possible!
