I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 420: The Philosophical Plague God Lu Yue

Bumped into the expert by accident?

The crowd looked in the direction of the golden light and their hearts sank. They all waited patiently in front of the Southern Sky Gate.

Lu Yue felt his breathing quicken. He was caught off guard.

This was similar to a fan thinking of meeting his ultimate idol. In the next moment, the idol appeared beside him. What a chance!

This was the expert who easily vanquished Lu Yue’s plague. He made Lu Yue lose before he even knew how. How cool was that!

This was like how an ant would not understand how powerful the humans were, but it could feel how impressive a human was! How much he wished to worship this expert!

The golden cloud was getting closer. The crowd could feel their blood circulating slower than ever.

He was here! He was here!

Lu Yue did not dare to breathe. He was waiting patiently as a prisoner. He was anxious.

It did not take long before Li Nianfan landed calmly in front of the Southern Sky Gate. When he saw Lan and the rest waiting for him by the gate, he said, “Wow! You all came back? What a coincidence!”

He quickly saw Lu Yue and frowned. He knew right away, the Plague God was indeed Lu Yue!

Most importantly, Lu Yue was easy to recognize. He had red hair, fangs, and three round eyes. He looked exactly the same as the Plague God described in the ‘Investiture of the Gods’. It was impossible to find anyone else with such looks!

He looked scary!

However, he was now pinned down by them in the middle. He seemed weak, and it was apparent that he had lost.

However...why was he staring at Li Nianfan like that...what did he want?

Lan and the group greeted in unison, “Greetings to the Deluxe Merit Saint.”

Li Nianfan sighed and said quickly, “How many times do I have to say this, you don’t have to be so polite. This will make me arrogant!”

A bunch of Immortal bigshots greeting him so politely! Most importantly, he had no cultivation at all! How embarrassing was that! What was he supposed to say?

Xiao Chengfeng and Lan did not respond to him. They did not know what to say.

‘Bigshot, we’re begging you. Stop being so humble! If you’re so humble, we’ll become too arrogant!’

Chang’e winked at Li Nianfan. She smiled, “Lord Saint, I’m hoping you’ll send me some Deluxe Merits.”

“Ha-ha-ha, you’re quite honest. Don’t worry, I’ll try my best!”

Li Nianfan laughed out loud. He looked at the crowd and frowned. He said, “However, you don’t have much Deluxe Merit yet. I can’t give you more.”

Lan nodded and said, “The plague didn’t cost many lives, we understand.”

Li Nianfan said, “If so, it means it went well.”

Chang’e smiled. “Yeah, not a big deal.”

Lan made a gesture and the disinfecting spray appeared in her hands. She handed it back. She lowered her head and said in a small voice, “Lord Saint, here...here’s your disinfecting spray.”

Li Nianfan looked at it and halted. He asked, “You brought this back? Why? Did it not help?”

Lan almost jumped in shock. She quickly waved, “No, not that. It’s very useful!”

Li Nianfan waved it off and said, “If it works, then keep it in the ordinary realm. Since it’s no big deal, you don’t have to give it back to me.”

No big deal?

How could he say that with a straight face on?

Even though the crowd had known Li Nianfan for long enough, they still felt their hearts twitching. It was not easy!

Most importantly, they could tell that Li Nianfan was not trying to act cool or anything. He was saying it genuinely. The way he made it sound as if this disinfecting spray was trash. How hurtful!

It was like a billionaire telling them. 10,000 bucks was nothing. It might be a normal thing with no hint of pretense. However, this made it even more hurtful!

Even Immortals like Xiao Chengfeng could not take it, let alone Lu Yue!

Li Nianfan’s words sounded like thunder to his ears! He felt dizzy as his mouth twitched. He almost cried out loud!

How insulting!

This was a personal attack! A harsh one!

This was no big deal? What would that make of him?

Lu Yue started to question his worth. The final answer was—trash!

He looked at the disinfecting spray and his eyes sank. He made a decision. One had to take risks to gain wealth. The expert was now standing in front of him. If he did not fight for it, his path...was not worth cultivating!

Although he was trash in front of the expert, he had to prove himself. He had to become a hard-working piece of trash!

He took in a deep breath and stuttered, “Lord... Lord Saint, could you please let me keep this disinfecting spray?”

With that said, everyone went quiet. Lu Yue could even hear his heart thumping. His hair was even standing up and he had goosebumps all over. The three eyes on his face were so nervous that they popped out.

So nervous!

This moment brought him back to the moment when he was about to become a disciple of the Anti-teaching Sect. He was not even as anxious as now!

Of course, he was very excited as well.

“You want it? Keep it.”

Li Nianfan did not even think about it before agreeing. To him, this disinfecting spray was really nothing.

Furthermore... Lu Yue was quite powerful. He was also a Plague God. A terrifyingly powerful figure. If he could make a new friend with this spray, why not?

However, his nonchalant reply penetrated Lu Yue’s heart. He was so touched and emotional. He found it hard to believe.

The expert agreed?

This was such a treasure and yet the expert did not even hesitate before giving it to a prisoner like himself!

Everything on him, including himself, was not even worthy of this disinfecting spray!

He...

He did not deserve this!

The expert was so generous!

Lu Yue wanted to cry. He felt his eyes tearing up but quickly hid them away. He said with a serious tone, “Thank you, Lord Saint!”

Li Nianfan smiled and looked at Lu Yue strangely. “I’m curious, why do you need this for?”

“I want to know why this disinfecting spray can disinfect.” Lu Yue halted. He then continued, “I had the pleasure of reading Lord Saint’s ‘Divine Farmer’s Herbal Classics’. I learned a lot from it. However, the more I understood, the more confused I became. Is it true what you mentioned? That each element affects one another, and that there’s no poison in the world that can’t be detoxified?”

Li Nianfan halted.

He did not expect the Plague God to become a fan of his!

However, he did not find it strange. This manual was against the plague. As a Plague God, it made sense that he was interested.

Li Nianfan thought for a moment and smiled. “Of course, it’s true.”

Lu Yue could not help saying, “How so? Is there any use in me spreading the plague, then? Doesn’t that make me a Trash God?”

“Ha-ha-ha, you’re over-analyzing it!”

Li Nianfan looked at how his three eyes had popped out. He found his look rather sneaky. Li Nianfan smiled and said, “There’s no definite thing in the world. The water and fire are against one another, however, you wouldn’t call the path of water and path of fire useless, right? This disinfecting spray could disinfect, however it can only disinfect the most basic poison. You’re the Plague God, if you plant a more powerful plague, this disinfecting spray would no longer be effective.”

Lu Yue jolted. He felt personally insulted.

‘Excuse me! Your disinfecting spray isn’t only useful, it even disinfected a Plague God like me...

‘Please, I beg you to stop using me as an example. I’m unworthy of it!’

Lu Yue was thinking to himself. He then said, “I still don’t understand. How did it disinfect my plague?”

“Wow, you asked a good question!” Li Nianfan looked at Lu Yue and nodded. He had a look of delight in his eyes. “This shows that you’re philosophical!”

Lots of people assumed things happened due to the law of nature. The cultivators treated these as the law of how things worked. Not many of them would investigate it.

Of course, when one’s cultivation became more powerful, one could use his power to change some laws, which Li Nianfan found amazing. However, besides the law of nature, there was something else!

Many people, including the Immortals, only knew the ‘what’ but not the ‘how’,

Lu Yue acknowledged that.

Li Nianfan felt that was rather amazing. This showed that he was wiser than a God!

Seeing that Li Nianfan was amused, Lu Yue felt his scalp itching. He did not understand and felt anxious.

He could not help looking around. He saw that Xiao Chengfeng and the rest looked up at him with looks of admiration.

This seemed to be the first time that the expert complimented someone!

How amazing!

Did Lu Yue ask a good question? Why could they not tell?

How unbelievable was it to earn the compliment from the expert! Even Xiao Chengfeng admired him for that! Lu Yue was indeed the number one disciple of the Anti-teaching Sect. How clever!

Lu Yue bit his tongue. “Lord Saint, I... I still don’t get it.”

Li Nianfan cleared his throat with a straight face. He had a mysterious look on. “Actually, your question is related to the basic elements of the world!”

“Basic elements of the world?”

Everyone felt their hearts thumping. Merely five words and they made their scalps itchy with a layer of goosebumps all over.

Terrifying! So terrifying!

Taboo! This must have been taboo!

Excitement, anticipation, curiosity, and all kinds of uneasy emotions overwhelmed them. They were helpless!

Were they allowed to know about this? Would they die after knowing it?

Whatever! They would rather die with the knowledge than stay alive being ignorant!

At this moment, their blood stopped circulating. They had turned into sculptures with their ears upright. They forgot to breathe as they waited for Li Nianfan to continue speaking.

Watching the reaction from his crowd, Li Nianfan felt good about himself. He cleared his throat and said, “First, you have to know this. What is the plague?”

Lu Yue was dumbfounded. He found his head unable to work. “A plague isn’t a plague? What else can it be?”

Li Nianfan spoke, “Dragin, make me a water ball.”

Dragin did as she was told. She made a wave and a huge water ball appeared in front of the crowd.

Li Nianfan continued, “Let me start with something basic. What is water made of?”

Lan stared wide-eyed. “Water’s an element!”

“Wrong! It’s molecules!” Li Nianfan shook his head. He continued, “Dragons, Phoenixes, and Kirins were formed by the four basic elements—earth, water, fire, and wind. To be precise, water’s made of two elements—hydrogen and oxygen!”
