I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 32: Another Hint

Upon entering the room, they saw a woman lying on the bed right away. His first reaction was amazement, and the next reaction was shock!

A transformed monster!

She was the transformed monster!

Although she had transformed into a human form, her monster Qi had not completely dissipated, thus it was easy to tell.

Right. It happened near where Mr. Li lived. Of course, he would have helped out! He said he saved a person who was hurt by the lightning, so he probably meant the transformed monster! Who would have thought that the most-discussed and sought-after transformed monster was currently being kept with Mr. Li? The hunters were destined to return empty-handed.

Daji smiled happily upon seeing Li Nianfan. However, when she saw the cultivators following behind him, her pale face turned paler with fear.

“Be careful, Mr. Li,” Daji hastily pulled Li Nianfan toward her in a panic.

“What’s wrong?” Li Nianfan paused slightly. He looked at Bai Wuchen and the rest suspiciously. “She seems to be afraid of you all. Why is that?”

“Mr. Li, this must be a misunderstanding. This woman must’ve been terrified by the lightning, that’s why she seems defensive,” the Holy Emperor covered up with a very forced yet friendly smile.

Bai Wuchen helped, explaining, “Madam, we’re friends of Mr. Li. We’re good people, you may rest assured.”

“Yeah, we’re good people. We won’t harm you and we won’t harm Mr. Li, either,” Zhao Shanhe nodded in agreement.

They were afraid of causing any misunderstandings. If Mr. Li was made to think that they were here to capture the transformed monster, it would be over.

They reassured Daji sincerely, almost making an oath.

Li Nianfan was unperturbed. He smiled. “That’s right, they’re not bad people. My Daji, please, drink this though it’s quite bitter.”

Daji glanced at the visitors cautiously and still pulled Li Nianfan closer to her. Then, parting her small lips slightly, she took a sip.

The medicine was bitter, but her lips curled into a sweet smile. Although she only had one more month to live, she was pleased and satisfied that she was able to be with Li Nianfan.

She thought she was drinking an ordinary medicine broth and did not expect anything out of it. However, in the next instant, her expression changed a little and a shocking look appeared in her beautiful eyes.

What…what was happening?

She felt the injuries within her starting to recover mysteriously.

But…how could that be?

With the strength of the lightning, it was enough to destroy all of her strength and energy. Even her lifeline had been completely destroyed, leaving her like a dried out piece of wood. However, she felt a hint of liveliness within her.

This medicine…could change fate?

She looked at Li Nianfan in shock. This was the first time she realized that the ordinary man she had a crush on for so long…was not ordinary at all!

“What’s the matter? Is it too bitter?” Li Nianfan asked.

Daji shook her head and focused on drinking the medicine. Upon stomaching the medicine broth, her already dead lifeline seemed to show signs of recovery. The revival of her liveliness seemed to reappear.

The observing cultivators stared with wide eyes, as if they were looking at the most impossible miracle happening. They were cultivators, who were all sensitive to the revival of liveliness.

Daji was a lifeless form that was close to her death, yet a mere medicine broth was able to change her fate!

Unbelievable!

It was lightning from Heaven!

What Mr. Li was doing was akin to stealing a life from Heaven. What kind of existent was Mr. Li?

Seeing that some blood had returned to her cheeks, he asked, smiling, “How do you feel?”

“I feel much better,” Daji answered with a soft and gentle voice.

“That’s good.” Li Nianfan let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that his medicine was working.

He then turned to look at the cultivators. “You all saw the injuries. Do you have any way to cure her?”

“Mr. Li, please, don’t put us in this difficult situation,” Bai Wuchen shook his head as he smiled bitterly.

These were injuries caused by Heaven. They did not have the guts to even think about going against it.

“It seems that even you have no clue.” LI Nianfan sighed. He did not have much hope anyway.

Although Bai Wuchen and the rest were all cultivators, it did not mean that they were skilled in medical knowledge. Daji was severely wounded and would not be easily cured.

Li Nianfan frowned. “If I have to do it all by myself, it might take some time.”

It might only take some time?

Bai Wuchen and the rest felt numb. This was an injury caused by Heaven’s lightning. It was no longer shocking to them that Mr. Li was able to heal her, but he made it sound like it was just a minor illness.

A thought occurred to Lin Qingyun. She said hastily, “Mr. Li, we have a lot of healing elixirs in our Linyun Immortal Court. They might be able to help Miss Daji.”

LI Nianfan was delighted.

Right, there were many types of elixirs in this realm. Perhaps they might be able to heal Daji. Having an elixir to complement his medical skills might speed up the recovery!

Li Nianfan looked delighted. He said, “That’d be very helpful, Miss Lin.”

“It’s my pleasure to be able to help Mr. Li,” Lin Qingyun said with a slight blush in her cheeks. She was finally able to help the expert in some way.

Meanwhile, the others regretted not stepping in earlier, especially Bai Wuchen. The corner of his eye twitched as he wanted to slap himself so badly.

So this was a hint from the expert. Why did he not realize sooner? He kept reminding himself to stay alert and to watch out for what the expert was implying. He thought that there might be tests from time to time. Now, this opportunity was stolen by Lin Qingyun!

Sigh.

However, the rest tried to make up for it quickly.

The Holy Emperor said, “Mr. Li, this is my Dynasty’s territory. There are plenty of elixirs. I’ll send some over later.”

“Mr. Li, my Wanjian Immortal Sect has existed for thousands of years. We have all the elixirs including ones that nobody even knows exist. They might be helpful to you,” Bai Wuchen said.

“Mr. Li, I’ll bring over my entire collection of elixirs!” Zhao Shanhe said eagerly. He had received so much help from Li Nianfan and had no chance to pay back his debt. The things he possessed were not much but this was the least he could do to show his gratitude.

Watching this exchange happening, Daji stared at them with her wide eyes. Her pretty face turned blankly to Li Nianfan.

These were not only cultivators, they were ones of the highest rankings. And Mr. Li was merely an ordinary man, why did they treat him with such respect and importance? This was not the human-world she expected. This was so unreal, almost like a dream!

“Thank you so much for your help!” Li Nianfan did not reject their offers since he needed all the help he could get.

‘These people are so kind-hearted! Though they’re cultivators, they’ve always been so polite and helpful. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll try to give them something in return.

‘Since they’re cultivated, if they’re into writing and drawing, I could draw them something!’

Li Nianfan thought of ways he could return their kindness. Since he was only an ordinary man, there was nothing much he could give back anyway.

“Mr. Li, the reason I came today is to thank you for saving the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty,” the Holy Emperor said politely.

Li Nianfan waved it off. “It’s just a small suggestion.”

“Mr. Li, this is related to the survival of my dynasty. For this, I thank you.” With that, a quaint square box appeared in the hands of the Holy Emperor. He passed it to Li Nianfan.
