Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 20
Bai Wuchen and the others felt as if they had discovered a great secret. There was a loud buzz in their ears and they felt an unusual excitement they had never felt before.
‘This must be the story of an Immortal. Who knows, there might be a secret to longevity in that story! ‘
They listened attentively, not even daring to make a sound.
Li Nianfan continued his story. Soon after, he reached the part where the stone monkey went to Bodhi Cave.
Anyone passing by instantly stopped what they were doing and joined the crowd of listeners around Li Nianfan. This Eternal Realm was a realm where Gods and ordinaries coexisted. It was no wonder that ordinary people enjoyed listening to the stories of the Gods, especially when Li Nianfan's story was nowhere near ordinary. Even ordinary people could tell that the realm Li Nianfan was talking about was far more advanced than the one they were in.
Meanwhile, a scholar in shabby blue clothes walked through the entrance of the Fallen Immortal City. His eyes were dull, as if he had lost his purpose in life or he was thinking about a problem. He muttered to himself. The large crowd near the entrance did not attract his attention either. It seemed like he was lost in his own world, regardless of the outside world.
Suddenly, a voice pierced his ear.
“Teacher Zhu said. There are three hundred and sixty branches in Taoism and each branch will bring success. Which branch do you want to learn?
“Wukong then said.
“Teacher Zhu then suggested.. I will teach you the Shu branch. What do you think?
“Wukong asked curiously... What will I learn from this?
“Which, Teacher Zhu replied.The teachings include stories about people who seek advice from Gods, and teach one how to obtain great fortune and fortune.
“Wukong then asked.. Will I be able to pursue longevity through this branch?
“Teacher Zhu then grunts..No way! No way!
“Wukong then said.. Impossible? There's no way I learned this, then. ”.
The dazed scholar had a slight glint in his eyes upon hearing Li Nianfan's story. He froze in his steps and joined the listening crowd.
Afterwards, Master Bodhi Zhu suggested a few more branches to Wukong, but when he found out that they could not help in pursuing longevity, he rejected all of them.
Li Nianfan could feel his listeners breathing rapidly. Some people even had red eyes back then, especially Bai Wuchen and the other three!
They shouted in their minds, The ‘Monkey was offered to learn the Highest Way! However, this stupid monkey rejected everything! Stupid monkey, stupid monkey! Studying one of them would make him as good as an Immortal. No, to be exact, he would be stronger than a God! ‘
Meanwhile, they were overwhelmed with curiosity. Who is this Teacher Zhu? How could he teach so many Taoist branches? It's scary!
What was even more frightening was that Li Nianfan was able to recite everything aloud. How strong is he?
Bai Wuchen did not dare to think any further, she was afraid that her fragile mind could not bear it anymore.
When Master Bodhi Zhu left the monkey, the spectators took a sharp breath, almost like they had just lost the opportunity to study the Great Way. However, as the story progresses and Wukong goes to see the teacher at midnight, everyone starts breathing again.
Li Nianfan really captivated the attention and tastes of his listeners. She smiles. “Alright, that's for today. We will continue the story another day. ”
“Please, no! Mr Li, please, tell me more! ”
“Argh! It's been an hour! My wife will yell at me! “
Everyone looked at him with anticipation, even Nanan seemed interested.
Li Nianfan ruffled his hair and said, “Don't worry. I'll be here tomorrow at the same time. ”
“Master Li, thank you! Thank you!” Auntie Zhang saw the change in Nanan's eyes and she was very grateful. He continued to bow to Li Nianfan.
“Aunt Zhang, no. Thank you when Nanan is fully healed, ” said Li Nianfan.
Bai Wuchen and the three others walked towards Li Nianfan. They looked like four nervous students looking at their teacher. Their hearts are filled with questions and wonders. Did Wukong manage to chase longevity? What is long life like?
As cultivators, immortality was their ultimate goal. However, they did not dare to hunt down Li Nianfan. Being able to listen to him teach was already the greatest blessing they had ever gotten. Who would have thought Li Nianfan would say all this just to save an ordinary little girl? He is a hero!
Bai Wuchen looked at Li Nianfan with anticipation. Carefully, he asked, “Master Li, can we come here tomorrow to listen to the next story? ” He was afraid to ask because it was likely that Li Nianfan told the story of a great or Eternal figure from another realm! This story was probably beyond the reach of a small cultivator like himself to listen.
“It's just a story, why not?” Li Nianfan smiled as he thought, ‘There are so many rules in this Eternal Realm. Need permission to listen to a story? They're very friendly. Very friendly!”
The four of them were filled with joy. They were grateful to have obtained Li Nianfan's approval!
Bai Wuchen bowed to Li Nianfan and said, “Master Li, sorry to bother you today. Goodbye to this moment .”
Lin Qingyun also said in a low voice, “Master. Li, goodbye now. I'll come to hear your teachings tomorrow. ”
“Goodbye . Li Nianfan waved at them casually. He looked at the time and walked towards the entrance.
However, he was stopped by a scholar. This scholar seems to be a bookworm. The term ‘sarjana weak’ seems to be a term made especially for him. He introduced himself politely, “Greetings to you, sir. My name is Meng Junliang. ”
“Greetings to you, Sir. Mengs. My name is Li Nianfan. Li Nianfan looked at him doubtfully. “Can I help you?”
Meng Junliang looked at Li Nianfan with a glint in his eyes. I want to ask, Sir, does longevity really exist?
Li Nianfan looked at the scholar in front of him and his brows twitched slightly. He never expected this scholar to ask him that. This scholar looked like a nerd, and he looked different from all the other cultivators Li Nianfan had encountered. He suspected that this scholar was an ordinary person.
‘Of course, it makes sense that ordinary men want to pursue longevity, but this is unreliable. Huh! To be honest, I want to pursue it myself if I can, ‘Li Nianfan thought to himself as he tried to get rid of this scholar's obsession for longevity.
“There is reincarnation, which makes longevity impossible,” said Li Nianfan.
“But I have read in the books that Gods can pursue longevity. “He went on obsessively,” Why can the Gods chase after him, but not an ordinary human? I have read all the books, looking for the secret of longevity. I'm not lucky to find it until I hear your story. You must know the way. Please, teach me that! “
This scholar seemed to have gone mad from reading, living in his own idealistic world.
Li Nianfan shook his head and said, “The immortals can guard their bodies through cultivation, something that ordinary humans cannot do. Do you understand ordinary creatures? “
The student was surprised. He himself was an ordinary person, but he knew nothing about being an ordinary person. He was always trapped in the world of books, living in a world of written words and knowledge that was all based on theory and most of imagination.
He knew many things, but at the same time, he knew nothing!
In Li Nianfan's past nature words, this scholar was an idealist. ‘As long as he doesn't want to die, he won't die’.
