I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot
Chapter 70: Preaching Pearl

Chapter 70: Preaching Pearl

Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun rubbed their eyes in unison and glared at those bonsai again.

Ah!

Were they not the sixteen Spiritual Herbs they gave him?

This...he...planted them?

They felt a tsunami engulfing their brains as their minds went blank, losing the ability to think! They did think of many possibilities, but the only possibility they did not think of was that the expert would plant these Spiritual Herbs!

And from the growth of these herbs, there seemed to be more of them than there was before?

Lin Mufeng looked at these familiar yet unfamiliar Spiritual Herbs with complicated feelings.

Bigshot!

A true bigshot!

He actually used these Spiritual Herbs as his bonsai. If anyone else saw this, they would have gone crazy!

“Phew...”

Lin Mufeng took in a deep breath before he could calm himself down. He forced himself to look away from these Spiritual Herbs, diverting his attention.

This rockery seemed nice. It seemed to be carved out of translucent jade, looking like a beautiful piece resonating individuality. It was indeed a rare ornament.

Eh?

Why was there a water droplet in the middle of the rockery?

Lin Mufeng halted, and then his face instantly changed colors. He gasped.

Tzz...

Thousand-Year Black Ice?!

This rockery was...the Thousand-Year Black Ice!?

This...what...how....

He could feel his liver and kidneys trembling from inside! This was the Thousand-Year Black Ice! The most precious treasure of the Linxian Palace! They gave this to the expert, and the expert used it as a backdrop!?

‘If so, it’s my greatest pleasure to have the Spiritual Herbs used as his bonsai!

‘As for the Xiao Bai who was watering the plants, it must be the Immortal item that my daughter talked about!’

Instantly, Lin Mufeng felt unusually inferior, feeling rather sad.

‘This yard is too high-end. I really don’t deserve to be here... I don’t have the rights to...’

“Please, take a seat.” Daji’s voice pulled Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun back to reality.

Lin Mufeng recomposed himself and said awkwardly, “Sorry to be rude. May I ask if Mr. Li is home?”

Daji nodded. “He’s in the backyard. Please, take a seat first.”

With that, the both of them sat down cautiously, their bodies shrinking tentatively.

Daji did not seem to care. She continued to stare at the stone table in front of her. A chessboard was placed on the stone table with a chess game set up!

So, Miss Daji was a chess lover!

Lin Mufeng looked at the chessboard curiously. “This is...”

His pupils dilated as if his soul had just been sucked out of his body. He jolted vigorously!

He could see that in the chess game, the white and black pieces were entangled with one another, which gradually came alive. In an instant, they had turned into Black Qi and White Qi, killing one another inside Lin Mufeng’s mind.

This was obviously an endgame! The black pieces had an upper hand and the white pieces could only flee. It would not be as bad if this was just an ordinary game. However, the black and white pieces each represented an opposing Dao, incompatible with one another.

The ideas were utterly incompatible!

Lin Mufeng’s eyes reddened. He was caught up with the chess game. It was as if his Dao was attacked, yet he was unable to fight back.

He tried his best to get out of it, but any move was a dead end.

Could it be that his Dao...had always been wrong?

His face flashed white and his eyes were bloodshot.

Meanwhile, Daji held the white piece in her hand and placed the piece on a square.

Vroom!

It was as if a stone was dropped into a peaceful lake and layers of ripples rippled away.

Lin Mufeng’s mind was instantly cleared up, as if woken up from a deep sleep. The initially weakening White Qi became stronger after having found its one chance to survive!

His eyes blinked sharply, having recovered from his previous state. Although it only took a while, his back was filled with sweat.

Lin Mufeng looked at Daji. He stood up hurriedly, “Thank you, Miss Daji, for your teaching. I won’t forget this.”

This chess game allowed him a deeper understanding of his Dao—it was greater than an opportunity!

“This is a game set up by master. You just happened to be here,” Daji said nonchalantly. She then looked directly at Lin Mufeng and said with a serious tone, “If you can help master, you’ll have the chance to do so. If not, your soul will disperse.”

Lin Mufeng said, “You must be kidding, Miss Daji. Even if I have ten lives, I wouldn’t dare to offend Mr. Li!”

“So be it.” Daji nodded. Then, she continued, “Alright, then. Sit back down and act normal. My master doesn’t like those who make a scene.”

“I know. I know.” Lin Mufeng nodded. He had been warned by Lin Qingyun.

Click!

Meanwhile, Li Nianfan walked out from the backyard with a few mushrooms.

“Eh? More visitors?”

“Mr. Li.” Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun stood up hastily.

Lin Mufeng greeted, “I’m Lin Qingyun’s father. Sorry to have invited myself here.”

“No worries. Look at the bonsai in the yard! All thanks to you!” Li Nianfan said smiling. “Right, how do you find the tea leaves I gave you?”

‘As expected, he knew about my breakthrough with the tea leaves!’

Lin Mufeng said hastily, “Amazing! Very amazing!”

“Glad you liked it.” Li Nianfan nodded. He then turned to Xiao Bai. “Xiao Bai, go and prepare these mushrooms. We’ll make a mushroom stew for lunch.”

“Yes, master,” Xiao Bai answered and walked away.

Lin Mufeng seized the opportunity. He took out a black wooden box and handed it to Li Nianfan. “As a greeting gift, I hope Mr. Li will accept this.”

“Oh, look at you all! So kind!” Li Nianfan shook his head. Cultured men were indeed so polite. They followed the etiquette so strictly and never showed up empty-handed.

He accepted the box from Lin Mufeng. When he opened it, he saw a crystal ball placed inside. This crystal ball was similar to those crystal balls Li Nianfan saw in his previous realm. It fit nicely in his palm.

He had an interested look on his face. He took out the crystal ball and looked closely. The crystal ball lit up as if playing a movie. An image flashed from within.

An old man with a child-like face with white hair showed up, exuding a glow from within. He moved his hand as if casting a spell and soon, red flames started rising around him. Not long after, the flame turned into a firefinch, rising to the sky.

Daji’s face changed slightly, showing a hint of surprise.

As for Lin Qingyun, her pupils dilated and she could not help covering her mouth with her hand.

“This...this is the Preaching Pearl!?”

She exclaimed in shock as she looked at her father with a look of disbelief. She could feel a storm overwhelming her. This was the most precious treasure of the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion!
