I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 740: The Elite King’s New Job

‘Schizophrenia?’ Yang Jing and the others were all taken aback. After thinking about it, they felt that the word was very appropriate. They were impressed by the expert’s advanced vocabulary.

“Yes, I think that might just be it,” said Juling Shen.

“What should we do about him?” asked Yang Jing.

“I know there are several treatments for this disease, but I don’t know whether it would work on him,” said Li Nianfan.

Everyone’s hearts jumped violently. The Elite King was contaminated by Heaven, but in the eyes of an expert, it was just a disease? Not only that, but he knew of several treatments? What could they be? Again, they were impressed at his ability to handle anything.

“What are the treatments? Can we try it now?” asked the Soul Master anxiously. The Elite King was from the same era as her, and they were comrades-in-arms. Seeing him like this naturally made her panic.

“The common method is acupuncture, which can then be divided into traditional acupuncture and electric acupuncture.” Li Nianfan paused and said, “Schizophrenia symptoms can be divided into three categories, mania, depression, and delusion. Looking at his symptoms, he seems to have mania and delusion.”

‘He said that he was an apostle of heaven, and then shouted that he would defy heaven. What is this if not a delusion? It looks like his condition is really severe.’

Li Nianfan took out the acupuncture needles he always carried with him and said, “Let’s try the traditional acupuncture first. Little Daji, insert these silver needles into his Dazhui and Dingshen acupoints. For the Dazhui acupoint, insert it about one and a half inches deep until the tremor stops. As for the Dingshen acupoint, insert it diagonally at one and a half inches as well!”

He did not dare to do it himself. The Elite King was schizophrenic and looked fierce and vicious. If he leaned over and the Elite King had another bout of his delusional episode, he might very well hurt him, so it was better for Daji to do it.

“Yes, Master.” Daji nodded and picked up the needles.

The Elite King’s dull eyes suddenly lit up as if he wanted to move. Unfortunately, he was suppressed on the spot. The unknown gray mist was wandering in his acupoints, flowing into every nook and cranny and rushing into his brain. It manifested in mental states that were changing constantly.

The devil’s internal whispers never stopped, threatening to crush the Elite King’s last conscious will.

‘Damn it, this guy’s deepest will is that show-off line of his. If this sentence isn’t erased, it’ll be difficult for me to completely control him.

‘And what is this place? It can actually use the Yin and Yang Origins to suppress me. The seventh dimension’s more powerful than I thought.

‘But do they really think using acupuncture will suppress me? How could they think that this is schizophrenia? Hahaha, they’re naive if they think that they can destroy the mighty Heaven’s will.’

In the next moment, Daji quickly inserted the needles according to Li Nianfan’s instructions.

‘Ah! What is this technique?!’ Heaven began to panic immediately. It felt an irresistible force burst within him. It locked on him and suppressed him to the point where he could not even move.

‘Impossible! I’ve already merged with the Elite King! Why won’t they give me a break!’ roared Heaven internally, struggling to turn into a gray torrent as he tried to fight back.

The Elite King trembled as the second needle pierced into him.

‘No—! I’m actually being suppressed while inside a person’s body! This force has surpassed me. Who is he, who is this monstrous person?!’ Heaven roared in disbelief and frustration. Then, silence.

A spasm coursed through the Elite King’s body and the madness in his eyes gradually eased. However, there was still a trace of dazedness. He kept on muttering one line over and over again. “One thought extinguishes the sky, one finger traverses the years, I’m invincible in both life and death!”

“Did the treatment work?” asked Yang Jing doubtfully.

Li Nianfan shook his head and said with a smile, “Not by a long shot, but it seems to have some effect. It really takes a long time to cure it. It’s best to add electrotherapy.”

At this time, the Elite King suddenly turned his gaze on Li Nianfan and said hesitantly, “Thank you… Lord Saint…for the treatment. Please, cure me…”

“Lord Saint, my friend’s a righteous man, and he’s done a lot of good deeds. Please, cure him,” said the Soul Master sincerely.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.” Li Nianfan smiled and nodded, then looked up and down at the Elite King. ‘Looking at his body, he should be quite strong. He’s the perfect candidate for the position of a gong-farmer.’

However, he felt that it was not suitable for him to bring up this topic just yet. Then, a bright idea came to him.

“You can stay with Jiang Liu at the foot of the Fallen Immortal Mountain. This way, it’ll be easier for me to treat you,” said Li Nianfan.

“Yes, Lord Saint. Thank you so much. I’m willing to do anything you say,” said Elite King with gratitude.

‘Does that include being a gong-farmer…?’ wondered Li Nianfan. He waved his hand modestly and said, “You’re welcome, since everyone’s here, we should have breakfast together.”

“Little Daji, you and Fire Phoenix are in charge of making soy milk. Make sure you make plenty of it.”

“Yes, Master.” Daji and Fire Phoenix nodded. They then put the soybeans into the soymilk machine for grinding while Li Nianfan put the buns he had prepared beforehand into the steamer.

The Soul Master and the Elite King watched quietly and their pupils became bigger and bigger. In their eyes, while the soymilk machine was in operation, the surrounding Wisdom was directly absorbed by it. Then, they were crushed together with the soybeans!

‘Using Wisdom as an ingredient? Only the expert can do such a thing!’

Not only that, there was endless vapor around the steamer which was clearly made up from the Origins aura. The vapor made the place seem ethereal. Even a whiff would benefit the monks in their cultivation. Knowing this, the Immortals in the Heavenly Palace sped up their breathing rate.

After a short while, the soymilk was done cooking. Li Nianfan scooped two bowls of soymilk and passed them to the Soul Master and Elite King. He smiled and said, “Freshly made soymilk is very nutritious. Drink it while it’s still hot.”

The Soul Master and the Elite King took the bowls and stared at them blankly. They could clearly feel the boundless power it contained. What they were holding in their hands was supreme good fortune!

The Soul Master sipped slowly from the bowl. The supreme good fortune entered her mouth and flowed into her throat, rushing to her limbs! At this moment, she could clearly feel that an infinite and terrifying force had suddenly appeared in her body; it was as if a volcano was awakening!

The injuries she suffered when she fought against the Elite King were rapidly recovering. Not only that, but the power she lost countless years ago was also returning! It was as if her body had been in a state of drought for years and was being quenched by the soymilk, bringing her a sense of satisfaction.

Ah, this must be what bliss felt like. The return of her power gave her a swelling sensation. She was confident that she would be able to easily suppress the Elite King should they engage in battle again.

“Yang Jing, Juling Shen, and the rest of you have some of the soymilk and help yourselves to the steamed buns,” said Li Nianfan.

“Thank you, Lord Saint. Don’t mind if I do,” said Yang Jing.

Touched, Juling Shen said, “Lord Saint, my happiness of eating breakfast with you can last me ten thousand years!” He then happily picked up the bowl and finished the soymilk in one go, but he was still not done with it and began to lick the bowl vigorously. The sight of it opened up Li Nianfan’s appetite.

After having their fill, Li Nianfan bid them goodbye and made his way back to the Fallen Immortal Mountain with a new member in tow.

After Li Nianfan left, the Soul Master looked in the direction of the Fallen Immortal Mountain in amazement and said, “I’ve finally met the expert you all spoke so highly of. He’s even more amazing than what you all have described”

Yang Jing smiled and said, “Soul Master, we aren’t to blame. The expert’s amazingness cannot be put into words. His power surpasses our imagination every time.”

At this time, Cultivator Junjun also came over and asked, “Soul Master, what happened to the Elite King to make him like this?”

“He’s been contaminated by Heaven!” answered the Soul Master.

Yang Jing was taken aback. “That damn Heaven again?”

“You know it, too?” asked the Soul Master.

“Yes, we came across it in the third dimension.” Yang Jing then recounted all the things that had happened to them in the third dimension.

Listening to him, the Soul Master started to frown as she got lost in her own thoughts. Then, she finally said, “It looks like things are just as I’ve guessed.”

“What do you mean?” asked Cultivator Junjun.

“Heaven calls itself the heaven of all seven dimensions, meaning he wants to rule over all the dimensions, so the Eldritchs are probably just pawns in his hands. Heaven attached its clones to the Eldritchs and used them to conquer the seven dimensions.

“This way it would have a clone in every corner of the seven dimensions, and it would be able to pull the strings from behind the scenes. If my guess is correct, all the dimensions that have been invaded by the ancients would definitely have unknown gray mist hiding somewhere,” explained the Soul Master.

Cultivator Junjun sighed and said, “Heaven’s cunning, alright! By invoking the ambitions of the Eldritchs, it managed to bring about catastrophes to all seven dimensions while dispersing the unknown gray mist at the same time. He might just be our strongest opponent yet!”

“Fortunately, we have the expert, otherwise, our dimension would’ve fallen as well!” said Yang Jing with a tinge of fear in his voice.

Juling Shen laughed loudly and said, “Haha, I have to admit that Heaven isn’t only powerful but good at planning as well! Just his luck that we have the expert on our side!”

“I plan to go to the sixth dimension to look for the unknown gray mist that Heaven had spread there. I must stop it from spreading further now that the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh dimensions are connected,” said the Soul Master.

Everyone in the Heavenly Palace was taken aback, wondering how she would ever get to the sixth dimension.

“Remember Yanmo? He came from the sixth dimension to help us drive away the Eldritchs. But the seventh dimension lost too much in the war and considering that he was an unstable factor, I decided to seal him up. Now, it’s time for me to make it up to him by helping the sixth dimension,” said the Soul Master.

Meanwhile, Jiang Liu and the Elite King were chatting to each other at the foot of the mountain.

The Elite King had not fully recovered and his speech was a little dull, but Jiang Liu still got the general gist from what he had told him.

“How do you plan to repay the expert for saving your life?” asked Jiang Liu.

“I’ll go through hell for him!” said the Elite King without hesitation.

“Bullsh*t!” Jiang Liu shook his head, revealing an inscrutable expression, “Do you think the all-powerful expert needs you to do that? It’s not that I look down on you, but what can you do for the expert with that little cultivation of yours?”

This immediately silenced the Elite King. The truth never failed to hurt.

“Then, what do you suggest?” asked the Elite King.

Jiang Liu pointed at himself and said, “I’m responsible for cutting wood for the expert and it’s obvious why the expert brought you to me! He wants you to be the gong-farmer!”
