I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

The steam faded as the light got brighter like sunshine shining through the clouds—it was blinding.

Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun were both staring at the pot.

A glint of light flashed, revealing the hot food inside the pot.

There was a lot of soup. It was clear without a layer of oil floating on top. The ingredients in the soup could be seen clearly because the entire pot did not contain impurities!

The abalone meat was no longer tough, slightly curled after being cooked. The meat looked soft and bouncy. Chopped Spiritual Herbs could be seen in the soup.

Huff!

Luo Shiyu stretched her neck out to sniff the incoming steam. She wanted to take it all in.

Delicious! Wonderful smell!

Qin Manyun was salivating like crazy.

The aroma was teasing her palette, tickling her senses like countless tentacles.

She licked her lips, looking astounded.

She had prepared herself but the food still surpassed her expectations. The food cooked by the expert was far too wonderful to be true.

She knew the food was going to be extraordinary. However, she realized she still underestimated the expert!

Even if the food did not affect them, it was still a rare opportunity to be able to eat such delicious food!

After all, getting to eat such delicacies would be a big check off the bucket list!

Xiao Bai scooped a serving for everyone into Chinese ceramic bowls. The soup was as clear as water, giving off warmth and a pleasant aroma. There was a fat juicy abalone in the center of each bowl, too. The meat glistened under the sunlight.

Luo Shiyu could not wait to try it. She picked up her bowl and took a sip.

Slurp—

Sweet abalone juice trickled from her pink lips into her mouth like smooth silk.

As the soup reached the tip of her tongue, she felt the burst of flavors. Her palette was stimulated to the extreme as she jumped from that sweet delicious flavor.

“Mmm…” she moaned uncontrollably. Her cheeks were rosy from blushing. She had never felt this kind of satisfaction before.

“Yum! Yummy!” Luo Shiyu stopped thinking as she held onto her ceramic bowl and guzzled down the soup without a second thought!

Qin Manyun on the other hand, picked up the abalone slice with her chopsticks to admire it. Then, she put it in her mouth.

Her eyes lit up the instant she placed the abalone in her mouth. She knew it was bouncy before she even chewed it. She loved the texture.

This feeling…was the best!

She bit down on the abalone and chewed on it.

Splurt—

The abalone had a nice chewy texture and soup squirted out of its flesh with every bite. The flavors were bursting in her mouth!

Heavenly food!

This was Heavenly food!

Qin Manyun closed her eyes in satisfaction. She felt as if every pore on her body was relaxed, taking in the wonderful aroma.

Soon, the abalone soup was almost finished by the four people.

Everyone sighed in relief. They were all satisfied.

The cultivators could not get enough of the soup. They would never be too full for it, but the soup was too powerful. Luo Shiyu was at her limit. She could not take in any more.

The soup did not contain Insights, but it was filled with strong foundation strengthening powers combined with the effects from the abalone.

Qin Manyun snuck a glance at Li Nianfan.

‘Mr. Li must’ve known about my recent breakthrough. He was probably worried that my foundation wasn’t strong enough. That’s why he made this soup for me,’ she thought to herself.

“Come here, Blackie.”

Li Nianfan waved at Blackie and poured the remaining abalone soup into the dog bowl.

Blackie stumbled over with its tongue out, then chomped down on the food immediately.

Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu froze with envy in their eyes.

They both thought the same thing, ‘Must be nice being Mr. Li’s dog!’

Qin Manyun stood up and said, “Mr. Li, thanks for the hospitality today. We should get going.”

Li Nianfan nodded and replied, “Yeah, be careful on your way back.”

Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun walked out and smacked their lips, reminiscing about the abalone soup.

Luo Shiyu said, “The food at Mr. Li’s is too delicious, I don’t think I can go back to normal food ever again.”

Qin Manyun sighed softly. “Not only was it delicious, but it was also incredibly beneficial. Nothing can compare to how lucky we were! This is Heavenly food we’re talking about, you can’t get it even if you wanted to. Mr. Li allowed us this experience, it was an enormous blessing.”

Luo Shiyu nodded. “I don’t think Gods in Heaven eat like this either. We were truly riding on Mr. Li’s coattail.”

Qin Manyun nodded and stopped talking.

They both knew that they were extremely lucky to eat the crumbs given by Li Nianfan. Maybe he did not care much about it, but they could not ignore it!

They were very grateful towards him because they benefited so much from him!

Qin Manyun took a deep breath and said in a determined voice, “We might be weak, but we have to give our all to help Mr. Li!”

Multiple figures landed in front of the two cultivators in a flash. It was the Holy Emperor and the five elders of the Linxian Palace.

Qin Manyun asked immediately, “Did something happen?”

“Yes! We have new information on the expert’s hint!”

The Big Elder looked serious and said in a deep voice, “The demons were after the Fallen Demon Sword!”

“Fallen Demon Sword?” exclaimed Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu at the same time.

Qin Manyun said, “So, it was indeed related to the expert! The Fallen Demon Sword is now a wood-splitting ax. If the demons were after the sword, they would disturb the expert, right?”

Big Elder nodded. “We rushed here to stop them! We’ll do anything for the expert!”
