I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 259: The Super Busy Yao Mengji

Li Nianfan looked at the drunken Dragin. He forced a smile and shook his head.

Was it rare for an ancestor to be alive in the Immortal Realm?

It seemed like Dragin had a successful ancestor. No wonder her family business dealt with seafood.

Splash!

Dragin fell into the pond in her drunken stupor. She was wasted. Her red tail wiggled fast. “I can fly... I’ll fly... I’m going to the sky...”

Li Nianfan laughed and ignored her.

That kid was a Carp Demon. She would not drown. So, he let her soak for a while to sober up.

Blackie was laying down lazily in a corner of the yard. His ears were droopy like a dazed dog.

Blackie moved his ears when Daji and the Fire Phoenix were heading out. He stood up when he heard the door creak.

Then, Blackie turned around. Daji was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, Blackie teared up.

Blackie got up and sprinted to the door. He looked around outside.

“She left. The Vixen finally left.”

He shook his head and became energetic. He leaped next to Li Nianfan. He was celebrating.

Bark!

“Haha, Blackie, stop it.” Li Nianfan hugged Blackie. He laughed and asked, “What’s going on with you recently? You’re always lethargic. Are you good now?”

Bark!

Blackie stared at the big cauldron. He barked excitedly.

“You want to drink, too?” Li Nianfan was slightly surprised. Then, he smiled wryly and said, “Alright, I’ll give you some.”

Li Nianfan scooped a small amount of alcohol into the dog bowl for Blackie.

Blackie immediately sprinted toward it and licked it all up.

That was a déjà vu sight for Li Nianfan. “All of a sudden, it’s just me and you again. Wait, and a little carp, too. How lonely.”

He stood up and said, “Blackie, it’s been a while since it’s been just the man and dog duo. Let’s go to the Fallen Town. We can buy a wine jar.”

Meanwhile, Daji was carrying the little fox. She was next to the Fire Phoenix. They were covered by clouds. People could not see them. They would only think it was a cloud that passed by.

Soon, they were on top of the East Ocean.

Splash.

A human-like creature with a tortoiseshell swam out of the water. It was a Tortoise Demon with small eyes and a small nose. Two Lobster Demons followed behind it.

The Tortoise Chancellor bowed respectfully and greeted, “I’m the Tortoise Chancellor of the East Ocean. Greetings to the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Fire Phoenix.”

Daji nodded and saluted, “Greetings to the Tortoise Chancellor. Is the Dragon King here?”

“Please, wait for a moment. We’ve already given orders to notify him,” said the Tortoise Chancellor.

Then, the surface of the ocean splashed again. Urchin gradually appeared.

“Greetings to the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Fire Phoenix,” Urchin hurriedly greeted them. He did not dare to be boastful.

He looked at the little fox that Daji was carrying. He said, “This is...”

“She’s my sister.”

“Nine-Tailed Fox, your sister just became a Tian Immortal?” Urchin frowned. He said in a worried tone, “The Five-Color Sacred Cow has unknown powers. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to bring her along.”

Daji said, “Relax, I’ll take care of her.”

The little fox made a silly face at Urchin.

Suddenly, a sharp aura came out of nowhere. Then, the clouds were split apart. Xiao Chengfeng swooped in with a sword. He landed like a sharp sword, too, as he stabbed the cloud next to them.

Everyone looked at him. “Are you sure it’s the Five-Color Sacred Cow?”

“For sure!” Xiao Chengfeng nodded then said, “However... There are more than one.”

“A parent and a child.” Daji groaned for a moment and said, “According to our sources, the big one’s feeding the little one after its big tribulation.

Urchin was instantly intrigued. “Easy. We should watch the little one and capture it!”

The Fire Phoenix suddenly asked, “Are you aware of how powerful the Five-Color Sacred Cow is?”

Xiao Chengfeng said, “Immortal Beasts are extraordinary. The big cow’s probably at its peak. I’d say it’s at least from the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

The Fire Phoenix said, “The Dragon King and I are Expert Golden Immortals. Daji and Xiao Chengfeng are Intermediate Golden Immortals. It won’t be that troublesome then!”

“What are we waiting for? Let’s depart!”

...

At the Linxian Palace.

At that same ancestor temple.

Spurt!

Yao Mengji was back at it again. He did the familiar steps.

Bowed, spat blood, lit incense, and summoned.

Buzz!

The Immortal Stone instantly shined brightly. However, it dimmed before anyone could look happy about it.

Yao Mengji was distressed. He could not stand anymore. He sat on the floor and said, “I’ve failed again. Ancestor, you must be joking.”

He was overworked. The old man was finally hurt from exhaustion. He looked tired and weak again. He had also lost a lot of weight.

He looked far worse than what he once was.

Qin Manyun said, “Master, how about we stop? You haven’t stopped spitting blood over the last few days.”

“Fine, fine,” Yao Mengji waved weakly. “I have to stop. All my energy is gone with the blood. I don’t have any more blood to spit even if I wanted to.”

He slowly stood up. He looked pale and fleeting.

He gently sighed. “I was counting on our ancestor to impress the expert. It seems like that dream is shattering.”

Qin Manyun was out of ideas, too. She thought about other ways she could help the expert.

Suddenly, they heard laughter from above.

“Brother Mengji, where are you? I come with great news! Hurry up and show yourself!”

The Holy Emperor was so excited that he was out of it. He flew around the Linxian Palace, screaming like a big repetitive trumpet.

Instantly, all the disciples of the Linxian Palace were rattled. They all looked up at the sky.

Yao Mengji did not look happy. He flew to the sky and asked, “Looking for me, Brother Holy Emperor?”

The Holy Emperor saw Yao Mengji and unconsciously stepped back. Then, he exclaimed, “The super busy Yao Mengji. It’s only been a few days. Why do you look so skinny and weak? What are you working on?”

“Sigh, it’s too hard to explain.”

Yao Mengji shook his head. Then, he asked, “Don’t mention it. Why are you here, Holy Emperor?”

“Haha. Good news, huge news.” The Holy Emperor laughed chirpily. He made eyes at Yao Mengji and said, “Take a guess first.”

Cough.

Yao Mengji choked.

Qin Manyun appeared. She looked excited as she asked in a trembling voice, “Perhaps it has something to do with the expert?”

“Clever!”

The Holy Emperor laughed loudly. He was flushed with excitement as he said, “The expert said he wanted to participate in the Cultivators Convention. I took it upon myself and tried my best to get you an opportunity. We’re going to accompany the expert to the event. Hurry up and pack. Get ready to depart!”

Boom!

Yao Mengji was mind blown. He jumped. He could not believe his ears.

Did the expert assign tasks?

He suddenly transformed into a figure and swooped next to the Holy Emperor. He hugged the Holy Emperor tightly and wanted to lift him. He growled in disbelief, “The expert wants us to accompany him on a trip? Is this for real? Say it again!”

“I spent a lot of effort getting you this opportunity. Of course, it’s real,” the Holy Emperor smiled and nodded. Then, he asked, “Oh, yeah. Will you be going to the Cultivators Convention?”

“Yes! I’ll go even if I had a broken leg!” Yao Mengji said without hesitation. He was bewildered by the huge opportunity. He stared at the Holy Emperor and said with gratitude, “My good brother!”

His depression about his disconnected ancestor was instantly wiped away.

The expert did not forget him. He could still be a servant of the expert. Boohoo, how unreal.

Qin Manyun was flustered, too. She rushed them, “Master, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and get ready!”

“Yes!” Yao Mengji continuously nodded. “Check the skyship. Change all the equipment. Repair everything in the shortest time possible. Leave the ordinary items and load it up with treasures. We have to give the expert an enjoyable experience!”

“No. To be safe, I shall do it personally!” Yao Mengji flew to the skyskip, “Manyun, get in quick. Let’s get ready to fly it for the expert!”

“Oh, yeah. I have to practice my steering skills to ensure the skyship’s stability. It has to be perfect!”

The next morning.

The door of the four-part architecture creaked open.

Li Nianfan was already packed. He had his breakfast in his hand and a jar of wine on his belt. He walked out.

Yao Mengji, Qin Manyun, and the Holy Emperor were already waiting outside. They hurriedly looked alive and smiled. “Mr. Li, morning.”

Li Nianfan said, “Morning. Thanks for your kindness. Sorry for troubling you to pick me up.”

Yao Mengji smiled and said, “Mr. Li, don’t be a stranger.”

Li Nianfan looked at Brother Yao and was taken aback. He said, “Brother Yao, you lost a lot of weight these last few days.”

He remembered that Yao Mengji looked exhausted previously, too. Was it that hard being at the Linxian Palace?

“Right, have you guys eaten breakfast? Do you want some?” Li Nianfan showed them his steamed bread.

Daji was not around so Li Nianfan made a simple breakfast. He had a lot of steamed bread because Dragin was a big foodie.

Yao Mengji and the others were instantly excited. They licked their lips and asked quietly, “Can... Can we?”

“Why not? You tell me not to be a stranger, but what about you?” Li Nianfan laughed. He shared the steamed bread and gave each of them an apple. “I didn’t prepare much for breakfast. Sorry about that.”

“No, not at all!” Yao Mengji shook his head continuously. He smiled and said, “It’s been a while since I tasted your delicious food, Mr. Li. I even miss it.”

Everyone was extremely thankful for the steamed bread and apples.

The expert gave them such precious gifts during their meetings. He was so nice to them.

It was a blessing to be around the bigshot.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “I have newly brewed wine. We can drink all we want on the trip.”

He turned around and looked at the four-part architecture. Only Xiao Bai was left in the yard. Xiao Bai waved goodbye to everyone.

Li Nianfan also waved back and said, “Xiao Bai, look after the house.”

Blackie followed Li Nianfan with his tongue out sticking out. His tail wagged fast while he circled everyone.

‘Boohoo. The Master’s finally bringing me out on a trip after waiting for so long. Life isn’t easy.’
