Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 4
Luo Shiyu left worriedly while Li Nianfan resumed his Buddhist way of life — making music, planting flowers, fishing, and sometimes even writing poetry and painting when he was in the mood.
One day, he was fishing by the pool in his backyard. Blackie was resting near his feet, watching him peacefully.
“It was weird . I always put in a lot of krill every month. Why can't I get fish?”
Li Nianfan frowned as he held onto his fishing rod. He looked at Blackie suspiciously. “Have you eaten everything? I remember putting gold carp in, but I didn't see it anywhere! “
Blackie jumped up. He innocently looked at Li Nianfan with his puppy eyes and shook his head as if he were human.
“Well, I think I should go downtown and buy krill. Li Nianfan did not discuss any further about this. Since he did not catch any fish, he kept the fishing line and prepared to leave his house.
Fishing gives a person a sense of inner peace and relaxation. Li Nianfan enjoyed this sensation, and he enjoyed the fresh meat more! Unfortunately, he was unlucky today.
“Xiao Bai, stay behind and guard the house. ”
“Of course, my beloved master. ”
Taking Blackie with him, the owner and his pet dog walked down the mountain together.
While living in this hidden valley for the past five years, Li Nianfan did not completely lose contact with the world because he was not a cultivator, or so he thought. He's gonna be crazy without human contact for so long. There was a town not far from where he lived known as Fallen City. There were mostly ordinary people, although sometimes cultivators passed by. Rumors said that cultivators accepted ordinary people as disciples by fate in that city.
“Oh, Sir. Li is here! “
“Hey, Sir. Li, look at the freshly baked steamed bread! Free!”
“Bapk . Li, what did you buy this time? Please, longer! ”
“Ya, Sir. Li, I have a lot of advice to seek from you! “
The moment he entered the Falling City, many familiar faces greeted him. He has rarely come to town in the past five years. Even though he was not a cultivator, he had acquired countless incredible skills under System training. Sometimes, he shared eye-opening knowledge with the ordinary people of this city. He even treated some of the sick patients here with his advanced knowledge. Many people here had received help from him.
Li Nianfan smiled and greeted them back respectfully. He walked to the market and stopped in front of a fishmonger.
“Master Li! Here for some more krill?” The owner greeted him with a smile. He knew Li Nianfan well.
Li Nianfan nodded. “Yes, I want more this time. Double the amount I usually buy! ”
“Sure!” As he packed the order, the owner asked, “Master. Li, didn't you buy some not too long ago? Why do you still need this much? ”
Li Nianfan sighed. “Don't remind me. I remember putting all the krill into the pond but I couldn't catch any fish at all! ”
The owner stopped his steps. In a serious tone, he warned, “Master Li, this is strange. ”
“I think so too . ”
The owner warned him again. “Mr Li, I would be careful if I were you. There might be monsters hiding in the pond. Stay away for your safety. ”
Li Nianfan was frightened for a moment. Could there really be monsters in the pond? The monster that ate all the fish?
He was scared, but he had lived there for almost five years now and he was reluctant to move on. Even if he wanted to move, he had no other place to live.
“Master Li, I have a turtle here. This type of turtle will remain in place in the pond and will surface to get sunlight every afternoon. Can be put into the pool, and if it is safe means your pool is safe, ”saran the owner.
Li Nianfan's eyes twinkled with excitement. He said, “Yes, I will buy this turtle, please!”
“Master Li, if it wasn't for you, my stall would have been closed a long time ago. This turtle is young and not a valuable breed, so I will give it to you for free! “
Finally he got the turtle as a gift for buying krill. Li Nianfan carried a krill and a turtle in his hand, ready to test if there were any monsters hiding within his pond.
When he arrived at the entrance of the city, he realized that the crowd had gathered. Among the crowd, a middle-aged woman sobbed on the ground.
Li Nianfan advanced and asked, “Aunt Zhang, what happened?”
Auntie Zhang is a kind woman. When Li Nianfan first arrived at this immortal cultivation realm, he had helped him a lot.
When he saw Li Nianfan, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. “Mr Li, you are a capable person. Please, I beg you to save Nanan. He was captured but a monster! “
“Nanan captured monsters?” Li Nianfan asked worriedly. He was terrified by the news.
He could not help but recall the picture of the cute and cheerful little girl. He remembered Nanan well, with his two pigtail braids. Every time he saw her, he would call her ‘male sister’. She's very pretty, like an angel.
“Aunt Zhang, you're panicking too much! Although Mr. Li was a wise man, he was only an ordinary person. It's too dangerous to send him there! “
“Yes, I don't think you need to worry too much. Aren't there three cultivators climbing the hill? They'll definitely save Nanan. ”
“The three of them are not ordinary people. Nanan will be fine. ”
“Argh, what world is this! Why did that monster disturb the Fallen City ?! ”
The crowd was gossiping amongst themselves. Even though they wanted to help, they were unable to do so.
Li Nianfan thought for a moment. He comforts her, “Aunt Zhang, don't panic. I'll go and have a look. I promised to bring Nanan home today. ”
“Thank you Mr Li! Thank you, Mr. Li! ” Auntie Zhang thanks you with confidence. He trusted Li Nianfan over the three cultivators sent there.
“Master Li, monsters have evil spirits! Too dangerous to leave! ”
“Yes, we are ordinary people. We just have to report this to the Immortal Officer and have them send some cultivators to handle it. ”
Many people began to persuade Li Nianfan, worried for his safety.
He assured them, “Don't the three cultivators have already left? I'll just follow them and see if there's anything I can help. Thank you for your attention . He had made up his mind, and after knowing the location, he went there.
The monster fled to the mountain not far from it. Li Nianfan thought of tactics as he climbed the mountain. The most ideal scenario would be a monster defeated by three cultivators with him watching from the sidelines. However, if the three of them were no match for the monster, Li Nianfan could only hope for the best and believe in the jade given to him by Luo Shiyu. He knew that Luo Shiyu was a high-status cultivator, so he could only hope that the jade would help him when needed.
Li Nianfan rushed over, afraid of a break. He had heard that monsters would eat humans. If he was a second late, Nanan could be eaten by that monster!
“Nanan should stay safe,” murmured Li Nianfan.
Suddenly, Blackie sped up his run and turned into a black shadow that shot forward.
“Blackie, what are you doing! Now is not the time to play games. Stop!” Li Nianfan shouted after him as he watched Blackie disappear from sight. He was very angry and worried. “Anj*ng is stupid! Was he in a hurry to get killed !? ”
