I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Vroom!

The space between the sky and ground seemed to have layers of waves weaving between them.

From Daji’s fingertip protruded a delicate strand of white Qi that looked just like earthworms, wiggling left and right. Although the white Qi was not much, it was like a light source, illuminating the surroundings and painting everything a faint white.

A fearful breath came out, making one shiver.

The little fox looked at the white breath blankly. “Sister, is this the Immortal Qi?”

“Alright, don’t talk.” Daji’s face was serious. She flicked her finger and the white breath went directly into the body of the little fox.

Click!

It instantly transformed, becoming an unlimited force flowing all over its body.

The little fox felt its body becoming lighter. First, it felt some lightness. Then, nothing. It rubbed on its tiny head. “Hmm? Sister, is it over?”

Daji jolted slightly, too. “I’m not too sure, it seems that this isn’t an instant process. Perhaps the Immortal Qi will slowly awaken your bloodline.”

“Oh.” The little fox nodded.

Daji said, “Oh, right. Pick a few demons and ask them to act like normal animals and hang around here in the next few days. Tell them to be ready, my master might need them.”

“Okay, sister.”

“Pick the better ones, they must be well-disguised,” Daji warned.

“My master must have meant this when he said experimental product…”

The next day.

Li Nianfan walked out of his room. Instantly, his face changed as he looked up at the sky. His brows furrowed.

It was merely one night but the sky had gone so dark?

There was no sun in the morning sky as it was hidden by a large, dark cloud. The thickening cloud was rolling, flashes appearing within it from time to time. The sight was terrifying to see!

“I was told that there had been more lightning two days ago, and now it’s happening again? That’s so soon!” Li Nianfan quickly brought in the clothes he was drying outside.

“This is indeed a realm with frequent lightning! It’s too dangerous to live here without a lightning rod.”

“Daji, Blackie, follow me. Let’s go out and see.” Li Nianfan held on to his kite and walked out from the four-part architecture. Daji and Backie followed behind him closely.

The wind was blowing wild!

Huff!

Although it was early in the morning, the sky was as dark as a night sky. Countless leaves were swaying in the wind. In the woods, some trees were bent sideways by the strong wind, branches shaking wildly.

“What weather is this! So Stormy!” Li Nianfan faced the wind as he looked up at the swirling dark cloud. He was rather intimidated.

What a scary sight! Perhaps the lightning rod would not be able to withstand it after all?

“The thunderstorm is happening so soon. I haven’t even found an experimental product!” Li Nianfan looked around as he mumbled, “If only there’s an animal around.”

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Meanwhile, Blackie rushed toward a direction and barked. It then rushed into the woods.

“Blackie, don’t run around when the weather’s like this,” Li Nianfan said worriedly. However, in the next moment, he was shocked. He saw Blackie running back with a strong, black boar.

“Hmm? There’s a boar in there?” Li Nianfan said delightedly. “Not bad, Blackie. Perhaps this boar ran out from someone’s house down the mountain. Catch it!”

Li Nianfan took out his trapping equipment and quickly captured this boar.

“Hey there, you’ll have to run in the direction of the thunder. If you do well, I won’t eat you. If you run away, you’ll become a roasted boar.” Li Nianfan patted the back of the boar as he tied the kite on its body.

“Don’t be scared, I’ve insulated you with a piece of wood. If there’s no accident, you’ll be fine. Stop shivering, be brave! This is slightly cruel, but just treat it as a sacrifice to science. You’ll be remembered for centuries and become the role model of all boars.”

The boar was so terrified that it almost fell off. Its tiny eyes were full of despair. It looked at Blackie by its side and took another look at Daji. The despair in its eyes worsened.

‘Not only do I have to pretend I’m an ordinary boar, but now I have to hold up a kite and run under someone’s natural tribulation thunder?

‘Murderous! So murderous!

‘I’m done! I’m dying! This is so difficult!’

In the woods, the Black Bear Demon and the Green Python Demon looked at the Wild Boar Demon who was tied to a kite with tears in their eyes. ‘Bro, thank you for sacrificing yourself for us.’

Swiftly after, they turned around to say to the rest of the demons, “Lord Wild Boar Demon will be dead. We’ll have to choose a new demon to take its place. Good luck to you all!”

“Okay, it’s ready! Time to test the lightning rod.” Li Nianfan smacked the Wild Boar Demon’s buttock. “Off you go!”

The Wild Boar Demon jolted and turned back to look at them with a pathetic look. It had one last trace of desire to live.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Blackie barked at it.

Daji frowned slightly, and instantly, a chill struck the boar’s buttock.

The Wild Boar Demon let out a miserable cry as tears rolled down its cheeks. It started to run toward the center of the dark clouds with its head down. As it ran, the kite on its body flew up into the air as the lightning rod pointed upward.

The string of the kite was a conductor as well. It was tied around the boar’s body, passing through the wooden insulator. At the end of it was a long rod touching the ground for grounding purposes.

Vroom!

Among the dark clouds, a flash of lightning illuminated the entire forest.

Yao Mengji stood by a cliff, looking up at the sky. His chest was rising and falling rapidly. He was standing in the middle of the dark clouds as a single cloud swirled above his head. Furthermore, waves of powerful pressure weighed down on him from above, causing him to struggle for air as he felt chills all over him.

A natural tribulation like this was so many times stronger than the normal ones. So terrifying that one could not have the heart to refuse it.

Finally, the dark swirling clouds turned brighter as countless flashes visible to the naked eye gathered at a high speed. Looking up from under the swirling clouds, one could almost see the bowl-thick lightning bolt forming.

The lightning was about to strike!

Due to the static energy building up, Yao Mengji’s hair spiked up. As he was about to die, he suddenly broke into laughter.

“Ha-ha-ha! Damn it, God! Why would you do this to me? Isn’t it merely a natural tribulation? I want to take over my fate. Check me out as I change my fate!”

His hair was dancing in the air wildly. Instead of retreating, he flew toward the sky!

Vroom!

The lightning struck him down. It was thicker than Yao Mengji as he fell hard on the ground!

Bam!

He fell back down as hard as when he took off. Instantly, Yao Mengji spat out a mouthful of blood. His shirt was torn and burnt.

“Oh, no. It’s too strong.” Yao Mengji laid on the floor listlessly. He was in despair.

It was merely the first lightning bolt and he had already used up all of his energy.

“God, I’m wrong. Please, let me off easy. I’m a good man.”

Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!

However, the thunderclaps in the sky became even louder.

Yao Mengji could see through his blurred vision that the second lightning bolt was already starting to form. He was prepared to die.

Meanwhile, he saw from the corner of his eye that something was flying in the sky.

Hmm?

Was that a…kite?

He took another look.

The kite was tied to a wild boar that was running wildly.

What was that?

Was this boar crazy? He was running over so eagerly to give up his life?

Yao Mengji found it hard to believe. He took yet another look at the flying kite and he jumped.

There were words written on the kite!

‘Come Over!’

This was…the writing of the expert?

Indeed! It was the handwriting of the expert!

‘The expert came to save me! So, the expert didn’t give up on me!’

Suddenly, Yao Mengji’s eyes reddened like a desperate child seeing his parents. His strength instantly collapsed as tears gushed out of his eyes.

‘The expert’s asking me to go over?’

As if holding onto the last life-saving straw, he stood up without hesitation and ran toward the kite.
