I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 52: Mr. Li’s Hints, Nice Jello

It was shocking to see a garden full of Spiritual Herbs.

Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun thought of what they discussed at the tavern.

Did he have flat peaches?

It seemed like they already had the answer to that question.

In ‘Journey to the West’, the Heavenly Temple had a garden of flat peaches. It was likely that Li Nianfan owned a flat peach garden too, right?

How...how shocking!

It sent shivers down their spine.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai came over with two glasses of water. “Please, have a drink.”

“Thank you.”

Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun accepted the water. They felt flattered.

Even Immortals would envy getting high-end service from a Spiritual Robot.

Qin Manyun looked at the water in the glass. It was pure and clear, Spiritual Qi wafted from the glass.

‘Spiritual Water!’ Qin Manyun thought to herself. She tried her best to look calm, but in reality, she could not wait to try it. She took a sip from the glass.

The Sun was shining brightly. It was hot but it had not affected the water. The water was cool and smooth. It moisturized her lips and trailed down her throat from the tip of the tongue. She felt like the hot temperature just went away. It woke her up, too.

She loved the chilly feeling of drinking every drop of the Spiritual Water.

Gulp.

She drank another mouthful of water.

Qin Manyun could not help but smile, feeling like she had just quenched her thirst and was completely hydrated.

Yummy!

Spiritual Water was the best!

What a true bigshot. Even the water was rare and luxurious.

The casual lifestyle of a bigshot.

She was satisfied. She finished her drink in a heartbeat but was left wanting more.

Li Nianfan added, “Xiao Bai, pour another glass of water for them.”

He could not figure out what was wrong with the ladies. They looked like they were from wealthy families, so why were they gulping down the water like that and smiling?

Was he imagining it or were they too thirsty?

Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu realized they were being impolite. They blushed and whispered, “Thank you, Mr. Li.”

Li Nianfan smiled, “You’re welcome. So, what are you girls doing here?”

“I’ve heard all about you, Mr. Li. So, I begged Shiyu to bring me here to visit you,” said Qin Manyun.

At the same time, she took out a translucent jade bottle and respectfully handed it over to Li Nianfan. She said, “This is my sect’s specialty. I hope you’ll like it, Mr. Li.”

This was the first time she visited him. Of course, she had to bring a gift.

She did not know what to bring. He was such an expert. He probably would not care for the most precious gift in the world either.

However, a gift was necessary to show her sincerity, so she brought her most prized possession.

Li Nianfan smiled, “You’re too kind.”

He instantly had a good impression of Qin Manyun. He viewed her as a good girl with fantastic manners.

She was probably a woman of culture as well. She wanted to visit because of rumors and her admiration.

Li Nianfan took the jade bottle and discovered that there were ten individual droplets of liquid in the bottle.

It was unique and looked like crystals but bigger than an average water droplet. It looked like it was flowing, yet it was in solid form. It was very weird.

Luo Shiyu stared at the liquid in the jade bottle with her beautiful eyes. Her heart raced.

Thousand-Year Black Ice!

Holy cow! Ten full drops of Thousand-Year Black Ice! How generous!

Although Qin Manyun was a Saintess at the Linxian Palace, she had to spend a lot of effort to get her hands on so many droplets.

Li Nianfan poured a droplet from the bottle into the palm of his hand. He observed it for a while, then sucked it up into his mouth.

It was nice and cool to the taste. Quite delicious.

Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu watched Li Nianfan casually devouring a drop of Thousand-Year Black Ice. They asked nervously, “Mr. Li, you... What...”

“Hm? What’s wrong?” he looked at them in confusion.

Qin Manyun suddenly piped down when she realized that Li Nianfan was fine. “No—nothing...”

She had an upsurge of emotions internally. That was the Thousand-Year Black Ice. It contained black ice essence. Black ice essence was amazing but normal people would get hurt from the frostbite. It had to be consumed in the right way and with full safety precautions.

Did he simply swallow it?

Qin Manyun smiled wryly.

Of course. Thousand-Year Black Ice would just be a bit chilly to someone like him. Maybe it was just like water to him.

Li Nianfan smacked his lips. He looked like he was reminiscing. “It’s been a long time since I had jello again, how nostalgic.”

“Jello?” Luo Shiyu was perplexed. “What’s that?”

Li Nianfan smiled. “Oh, it’s a kind of snack. I used to eat it for fun all the time. Never had these since I got here.”

Snack?

Eat it for fun?

Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu’s minds almost exploded.

He was saying he used to eat it in the Immortal Realm.

Of course, their rare treasures were merely a boring snack for someone like him.

However, they were glad he liked the snack.

Li Nianfan passed the jade bottle to Daji and said with a smile, “Daji, this jello is nice. You should try it, too.”

Daji took the jade bottle carefully. “Mr. Li, I’ll keep it for you since you like it.”

“It’s okay. Although there isn’t much of it, I shouldn’t eat it all by myself,” Li Nianfan shook his head.

A hint! That was a hint!

Qin Manyun instantly said, “If Mr. Li likes it, I’ll bring more next time.”

She hesitated and clenched her teeth before saying, her voice quivering, “A...tub full of it!”

It took all her might to say that.

It was the Thousand-Year Black Ice. The Linxian Palace could only extract a drop every ten years. Hence, it was very rare and precious.

What a trash concept.

The Linxian Palace would be dirt poor very soon if that was the case.

She promised something outrageous without consulting her sect, all because the expert hinted at it. She could not hesitate!

“Good!”

Li Nianfan liked Qin Manyun even more. She looked troubled but still offered generously. She had a heart of gold!

“Thanks, lady Qin,” Li Nianfan did not reject her since he loved jello. It was an opportunity he was not willing to let go of. “I don’t need a tub full of it. Just a few would suffice.”
