I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 417: What A Pity Without Chicken Pox

“Cured all of the plagues?” Lu Yue frowned. He was surprised but kept his cool.

He asked, “Who came?”

The disciple answered, “Other than the Immortal who came the other time, this time another Immortal came along with a Heavenly Soldier. Also, the Cow Horse from the Underworld came as well.”

“It seems that after they escaped the other day, they went to look for help!” Lu Yue smiled coldly. He continued to ask, “Do you know how they cured it?”

“They put a type of medication into the well water and give it out to the people,” the disciple answered. He shook his hand and a bowl with a brown liquid appeared. It looked ordinary.

Lu Yue received the bowl and looked at it. He then lifted it to sniff. His face changed and started to appear rather uneasy.

The disciple was curious. “Master, do you know what’s in the liquid?”

Lu Yue looked at his disciple coldly without flinching. “I can’t tell for now, but...I’ll know after trying it.”

He waved and the same patient flew toward him again. He then made the patient drink it.

“Ha-ha, how ignorant.” Lu Yue shook his head. He could not help mocking, “Even if they could cure the plague I planted earlier, I can simply plant a new strain and the medication would be useless...”

He stopped talking abruptly. His words were stuck in his throat as his pupils dilated. He looked at the patient in shock.

The red swelling on the patient’s face was reducing at a rate that even the naked eyes could see. His body was getting better.

“This...how’s this possible?” Lu Yue could not believe his eyes. This liquid could cure more than one type of plague?

He said in a low voice, “Do you have more of it?”

“Yes, I knew this liquid was special, I brought over a bucket of it.” The disciple flipped his hands and a wooden bucket appeared in sight.

Lu Yue looked at the patient and once again, implanted another strain of disease into him. However, once he drank the liquid, the disease was once again cured.

Lu Yue repeated this three times and every time, one bowl of such liquid easily cured it.

By then, Lu Yue jolted all over. Starting from his soles, he felt a wave of chills rushing to his head. His hair was standing all over his skin.

Nemesis! His nemesis!

He felt an overwhelming fear. He was not calm at all!

The two elders saw this and they were very excited as they knelt on their knees and worshipped, “Divine Farmer, this must be the Divine Farmer helping us!”

They looked at the bucket of water and could not repress their excitement. They filled the gaps with their imagination—it must have been the Divine Farmer pitying them. He used his power to change the structure of the water in the well and turned them into water that could heal all diseases!

How powerful! How sacred!

“Divine Farmer!”

Lu Yue’s eyes were filled with hatred. He could not help exuding grey smoke all over. The third eye on his forehead had become red!

“Back then, I planted a plague on the soldiers in the Zhou Dynasty. However, I failed when Jiang Ziya went to beg for medication from the Divine Farmer. This forced me into becoming a God and forever became a servant to humankind!”

Lu Yue recalled his memory unwillingly. His tone was extremely cold, “Divine Farmer’s Herbal Classics, and this water...doesn’t that mean the Divine Farmer had reappeared? And...is now more powerful than before?”

He knew clearly that this was not the original version. The original version was not as good. It would not have made water that could cure all diseases!

Last time, the Plague God lost to the Divine Farmer’s unique medication. However, this time, Lu Yue felt personally attacked. It was an insult to him!

“I don’t care if you’re the real Divine Farmer or not, I’ll meet you this time!” Lu Yue suddenly laughed out loud. He was excited by the challenge. “Since you can cure the human diseases, I can implant the diseases on the Immortals, can you cure it, then? Come on, accept the challenge!”

With that said, he left the crowd and rushed toward Lan.

He was impatient and not scared at all. He was insane. He knew clearly that his Insights were on the verge of corrupting, and he started to doubt the Insights of the Plague.

Meanwhile, he was in a rush to prove himself. If he did not prove himself, his Insights would corrupt. If he could cross this hurdle, he would come out with a different insight from before.

The principles contained in the ‘Divine Farmer’s Herbal Classics’ and the miracle water was way beyond his imagination. He had to find out more, even if it would cost his life to do so!

Why was his plague so insignificant in front of this Divine Farmer? He was unwilling to give up!

...

Meanwhile, in a village not far away, Lan and the rest were watching the people recovering. They were smiling.

Xiao Chengfeng said, “Lord Saint’s so powerful. He merely did a small thing and there’s nothing else I can do. Sigh!”

Cow Horse held a fork as he said, “Don’t you know that not long ago, there was a massive plague breaking out in the ordinary realm. It was also Lord Saint who fixed it. After that, he established a medication system for humankind, increasing the Luck of the people. Unfortunately, the Lord Saint’s too humble. He didn’t want to keep his name, so he used the name of the Divine Farmer.”

“Of course, Lord Saint would keep a low profile, if not he wouldn’t have insisted on becoming an ordinary man, and he wouldn’t even talk to us,” Lan said. She sounded inferior.

“Lan, no wonder you didn’t even dare to breathe in front of Lord Saint.” Chang’e smiled. “However powerful the Lord Saint is, he still needs to talk to others. Just like me when I was alone in the Moon Palace. Even if it was a rabbit, I’d turn myself into a rabbit to communicate with it, let alone ordinary people. Since Lord Saint wants to play around in the ordinary realm, we’ll have to play along with him.”

“Chang’e’s right. What you said makes sense.” Xiao Chengfeng nodded in agreement. “We owe Lord Saint too much. Like how ordinary people try to please us when we do a small thing for them in return.”

Meanwhile, his eyes narrowed as he saw Cow Horse scooping a bowl of water from the well. He drank it.

Xiao Chengfeng was stunned. He asked, “Cow Horse, what are you doing?”

“Yummy, it’s yummy! This medicine’s sweet!” The Cow Horse looked satisfied. He quickly scooped out another bowl. “I haven’t tasted such good food from the Lord Saint. I miss his food! It’s so nice to drink some medicine to fix my craving. You’ve no idea, the food in the Underworld...is so bad!”

“Would you like a bowl?”

Chang’e shook her head. She said while maintaining her image, “No need, before we came, we had the dough sticks and soy milk prepared by the Lord Saint.”

Cow Horse was envious. He slapped his thigh, “How envious! I’m so jealous! It’s so nice to be alive!”

Suddenly, the group jolted. Their eyes darkened as they flinched. In the next moment, they were outside the village looking in the same direction.

Not far away, a thick layer of grey smoke was approaching them. A powerful Qi was coming their way!

“You came!”

Xiao Chengfeng’s lips curled up. He scoffed as his thumb rubbed the tip of his sword. The sword made a flash and turned into light, shooting right into the grey smoke.

Dong!

Along with a sound, the long sword flew back to him.

“We haven’t looked for you and you’ve already come to surrender!” Xiao Chengfeng flew in the air and caught his long sword. He then disappeared into the grey smoke. Following that, clashes and flashes were coming out from the smoke.

From within the smoke, two long swords shot out like pythons, trapping Xiao Chengfeng.

These two long swords flew in the air with two grey tails behind. As they fought with Xiao Chengfeng, grey smoke was left behind, forming a trail.

Lu Yue gradually appeared from the grey smoke. He scoffed coldly, “Tell me, where did you get the medicine from? Was it the Divine Farmer who gave it to you?”

Xiao Chengfeng scoffed coldly, “You don’t have the right to know!”

Cow Horse was better educated. He said, “General Xiao, be careful. This is a plague sword, it has poison in it.”

“Ha-ha-ha, like I care? I can cut through it with my sword!” Xiao Chengfeng laughed and used his power to form a powerful shield, blocking the plague out.

“Let me help you!” Cow Horse held on to his fork and entered the fight.

“Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha...” Lu Yue could not help laughing. He waved his hand and a grey object was sent out. It was heavy like a mountain as it crashed right into Cow Horse’s head. He was fighting against the two of them and was winning it.

“A bunch of kids trying to capture me? I haven’t been out for a long time, have you forgotten about my legend? I was known for my powerful and early cultivation! Who doesn’t know about me? My name’s known by everyone!”

“Boring, just that?” Xiao Chengfeng was not shocked. He seemed rather delighted. He had pride on his face as he scoffed with excitement, “And do you know who I am? I’ve fought wars throughout my life, I was once the General of millions of soldiers! There are three million swords in the sky and they all bow to me! I’m the God of Swords, Xiao Chengfeng!”

Lu Yue’s eyes sank. He scoffed. He had not seen anyone as good at boasting as himself. This made him furious. He growled, “If so, I’ll have to beat you all up before asking.”

The power coming out of him became wilder. Following that, another pair of hands came out from his back. And then another. There was also a third head coming out from his body.

He had three heads and six pairs of arms!

The two plague swords and the item had turned into lights and went back to him. Other than that, each pair of hands was holding a clock, a gourd, and an eight trigram.

At this moment, the grey smoke was rising like a dragon. It turned into a tsunami, splashing in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were covered in grey. The grey smoke seemed to be alive as they twisted around.

Meanwhile, a terrifying smoke came out from Lu Yue. Instantly, the crowd did not dare to make any move.

“Ha-ha, kids, a bunch of kids. Do you all think that I’m only an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal?” Lu Yue scoffed coldly, “A very long time ago, I was one of the most powerful Daluo Golden Immortals. I’d be even more powerful now if it weren’t for the Investiture of the Gods. I want to become as powerful as I used to be. Since you have all come, I’ll make you all pay!”

With that said, the eight trigrams in his hands shot out and landed on the ground. Instantly, an unlimited wave of grey smoke shot out. The land had been turned into an eight trigram, locking them in it.

Tick! Tick!

Ring! Ring!

Meanwhile, he shook the plague gourd in his hands, and the plague clock started to vibrate as well. The sound went into their ears, making the crowd feeling dizzy. The grey smoke was even making a growling sound, attacking the crowd!

The grey smoke easily penetrated the shield made by Xiao Chengfeng and attacked him!

“Argh!” Xiao Chengfeng moaned in pain. Following that, countless chickenpox appeared on his face. Instantly, his face was ruined and he felt weakened and dizzy.

Cow Horse was not much better. Even though he had the head of a cow, the head was filled with chickenpox as well. He looked funny.

Unfortunately, the two of them did not know about the changes on their faces. When they saw the chickenpox on one another, they laughed out loud.

The grey smoke did not stop. It was wild like a beast, rushing toward Chang’e and Lan.

Chang’e and Lan panicked. They had nowhere to run to. They were like the poor and hopeless white sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

They saw the looks of Xiao Chengfeng and Cow Horse. They wanted to cry. If they had chickenpox on their faces, it would feel worse than death. How would they be able to get a free meal from the Lord Saint ever again?

Lu Yue laughed with excitement. He seemed to be enjoying this as he said, “Ha-ha-ha, what a beautiful face. It’d be a waste to not have chickenpox on you!”

Chang’e wailed, “Go away! Go away!”

The grey smoke was approaching.

Lan was breathing heavily. Her head was working at the quickest pace ever. All of her talents had been unleashed.

She thought about the disinfectant spray. Suddenly, an image appeared in her head.

It was when Lord Saint had the spray in his hand.

Sizz!

And the two Daluo Golden Immoral mosquitoes were dead.

This image was so memorable, it was impossible for her to forget it.

Right, the disinfectant spray!

The disinfectant spray given by the Lord Saint!

Seeing that the grey smoke was reaching her soon, she quickly took out the disinfectant spray and closed her eyes tightly. She pressed it!

Sizz!

A mist came out, touching the grey smoke.

In the next moment, without any warning, all of the grey smoke cleared out without a trace.

Lu Yue was unable to react. He had stiffened even before he could close his mouth from laughing.
