I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Li Nianfan stood on the back of the white crane with mixed feelings. However, in the next moment, he froze. This was different from what he assumed it would be. The back of the white crane was extremely stable. Although it was soft, it did not sway at all. It was like walking on carpet. It made one feel grounded.

Even when Li Nianfan and Daji stepped on it, the white crane did not sink from the weight. It was as stable as a mountain!

Gu Ziyao said, “Mr. Li, let’s go.”

They did not get on the white crane. Instead, they transformed into orbs of light. This made Li Nianfan feel rather embarrassed as they had to prepare a private vehicle just for him to travel in!

However, this private vehicle was quite comfortable even though it was flying. One could not feel even the slightest bump. Even as the white crane flapped its wings, its back did not move. Its head rose slightly and the feathers around its neck splayed out, forming a sort of windshield that shielded Li Nianfan from the wind.

Li Nianfan could not help himself from asking, “Miss Gu, did you raise this white crane yourself?”

Gu Ziyao smiled. “You may say so. Raising demons is similar to raising animals. The domestic ones are different from the wild ones. Although this white crane is a demon, it has a gentle temperament and doesn’t like fighting. It lives in our Azure Ville.”

“Having a flying demon isn’t a bad idea at all,” Li Nianfan said with admiration.

He wondered if the animals he grew up with could turn into demons. It seemed difficult, as they were all less than a hundred years old. Though the old tortoise could give him a ride, it could not fly.

With that, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was an ordinary man. Why bother raising a demon? The demon might end up eating him!

To be fair, he did know of a little, six-tailed fox. Daji even called it her sister. He wondered how the fox was doing.

Qin Manyun, Luo Shiyu, and Gu Ziyao understood it right away. They had been on full alert, listening to every word he said to ensure they caught every clue given by the expert.

Another clue!

The expert gave them another clue!

The expert obviously wanted a flying demon! Of course, he would not want a normal demon, it had to be a high-ranking one!

They silently cried out in awe and made a note to remember it.

With that, they had arrived at the foot of the mountain. Li Nianfan realized that the foot of the mountain was not its base but a cliff!

The cliff seemed to be bottomless. One could not tell how high it was. To reach the valley that was in the opposite direction, one had to pass this cliff. Across the valley was vast greenery with blooming flowers. The trees were lined up in neat rows. It was apparent that someone was constantly tending to them. There were also butterflies dancing about, bees chasing one another, and a faint fragrance in the air.

Gu Ziyao smiled at Li Nianfan. “Mr. Li, we’re here.”

The white crane opened up its wings to form a white bridge that led to the opposite shore, allowing Li Nianfan to cross over.

Li Nianfan could not help sighing. “What a lovely view!”

“If you like it, you’re always welcome to visit.” Gu Ziyao smiled.

Li Nianfan laughed. “Hahaha! Perhaps just once in a while.”

Gu Ziyao said hastily, “Mr. Li, we’ll be happy to host you whenever you please.”

They walked on the bluestone pavement. Gradually, Li Nianfan could feel his skin feeling moisturized, followed by a cold chill.

Listening carefully, he could hear the sound of falling water. After a hundred steps, the path opened up into a vast valley.

A waterfall hung over the clouds, pouring out streams of water that seemed like it fell from the sky, slamming on the reeds beneath it with a thunderous gush. The current was strong and water splashed everywhere. It was glowing under the sun.

Due to the accumulated vapor under the waterfall, a long rainbow formed. From time to time, huge fishes would jump out in lines as if they were leaping over a gate. Walking on the bridge that was positioned just slightly above the rainbow gave them a sight that was beyond words as if they were inside a picture.

One had to admit that this was a very beautiful place! It had an other-worldly kind of beauty!

Li Nianfan took another look at the waterfall before following Gu Ziyao further. Soon, towers and halls appeared in front of them.

Who would have thought that just a short distance away, some people were looking in their direction with sweat on their foreheads. One of the young ladies in a green dress could not hold it in anymore. She asked, “What now? Can we stop the spell already?”

“Hold for a little longer! Hurry, make more butterflies!”

“And there, keep a close eye on the bees! Don’t control them too much! We’ll be dead if they sting our guests!”

“Fish! The guest seems to like watching the fish! Make the fish jump more!”

“Who’s controlling the wind? Make the wind gentler. Can’t you see the guest’s hair is all over the place? Do you know what a gentle breeze is!?”

“Hurry! The guest is walking to the main hall. Open the gate and remember to present yourself well. Don’t offend the guest!”

…

Walking forward, there were streams accompanied by pavilions by the side. Water gurgled underneath while cylindrical steps were placed above the stream for people to step on.

Inside the pavilions, there were disciples practicing music, filling the air with beautiful sounds. Some were training with swords in style while others were writing with brushes, looking free and easy. Most, however, were cultivating with different tactics, either flame shooting or manipulating the stream into beautiful water balls. They looked peaceful and amazing.

Li Nianfan was impressed!

So this was how the cultivators lived. So amazing! No wonder the cultivators he met were so cultured. They lived in a coexisting world with culture. He learned something new today!

Walking past the pavilions, a majestic-looking main hall appeared in sight. It exuded an air of authority and sublimity, reminding Li Nianfan of the Jinluan Palace in his previous realm.

Some disciples walked around them while some were traveling in the air slowly, stopping to nod politely when they saw Li Nianfan.

It all seemed very normal, almost as if this was how things had always been.

Gu Ziyu stood by the entrance of the main hall, waiting. He smiled at Li Nianfan. “Mr. Li, please, come in.”

Li Nianfan smiled and nodded.

The main hall’s decoration was not too different from the rest. It was more spacious looking.

Gu Ziyao invited everyone to sit and made a gesture. Instantly, a few slim and beautiful ladies walked over with trays in their hands and presented glasses of water to their guests.

Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu picked up the glasses and let out a look of awe.

It was Divine Water!

They got lucky! They got lucky!

They knew Azure Ville would bring out their best things to entertain the expert!
