I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot
Chapter 43 - Prodigal Wife!
The most important thing for cultivators was not Spiritual roots nor Spiritual talent. It was enlightenment!
Dao was the foundation of cultivation. Only when one's understanding of Dao was deep enough could one have a breakthrough. For some people, they usually had great Spiritual roots and resources but a shallow understanding of Dao, thus, being stuck in one stage forever! Hence, breaking through was the most important part of the cultivation!
As for many cultivators, this bottleneck could represent their entire life, and those who forced their breakthrough without an adequate understanding of Dao were considered to be on the crooked path. They could easily be possessed and end up in a worse state.
Therefore, enlightenment was considered a precious occasion for the cultivators. It was something that they could only come across by chance—a great opportunity that could not be missed!
Yet, one cup of tea was able to induce enlightenment?!
Even though Qin Manyun came from the Linxian Palace and had extended knowledge, she felt like it was all a dream. She could not believe what just happened.
Humm!
The Spiritual Qi in the lobby became chaotic as if the Spiritual Qi outside was drawn to something that was inside the lobby, causing a rush of energy to swarm into the lobby.
The Holy Emperor and Qin Manyun turned to look at Luo Shiyu who still had her eyes closed.
She was having…a breakthrough!
Rays of gold light exuded from Luo Shiyu. Instantly, the light condensed into a golden flame—the flame of the Golden Core!
The limitless Spiritual Qi seemed to fuel this golden flame, making the flame grow stronger and wilder.
Swiftly, the entire lobby turned to gold, illuminated by the flame. Hastily, the Holy Emperor raised his hand and gestured, isolating the lobby from the outside world.
During a breakthrough, one should not be disturbed by the outside world. Normally, people would go into isolation beforehand, unlike Luo Shiyu who decided to have a breakthrough out of the blue.
Perhaps Luo Shiyu herself did not expect to gain a breakthrough from drinking the tea.
It was the Golden Core realm! It was considered as the threshold of becoming an official cultivator! This was a stage that many people would fail to reach even after cultivating for their entire lives!
However, the Holy Emperor and Qin Manyun seemed confused. They were not too surprised. In fact, they felt rather sorry. The Basics of Wisdom contained in the tea was so concentrated that they, too, entered an enlightenment stage and received great benefits, let alone Luo Shiyu who was merely in the Foundation Building realm.
A top-grade tea like this was given to a Foundation Building cultivator? What a waste!
After a moment, the golden flame jolted around Luo Shiyu before they all condensed into Luo Shiyu's energy field like migratory birds.
Ding!
As if a bell just rang, a golden Dan appeared in Luo Shiyu's energy field, rotating slowly.
Golden Core—completed!
Luo Shiyu opened her eyes gradually in slight disbelief.
When she first met Li Nianfan, she was not even at the Foundation Building stage, but in around a month, she had reached the Golden Core! The speed of breaking through was even faster than anyone could ever imagine. Nobody would believe it even if she said it out loud. A hidden expert secretly residing in the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty was indeed the Dynasty's greatest blessing!
Luo Shiyu suddenly thought of a possibility. She looked at the Holy Emperor and stuttered, "Dad, the tea…is it…"
Bam!
The Holy Emperor staggered and fell into his chair. His face was pale from shock. Thinking about it, he felt as if his mind was about to explode!
"Zhong Xiu…this…the…the tea leaves, where did you get them from?" the Holy Emperor asked as if he was about to cry, his fingers trembling.
Zhong Xiu's heart sank a little. "I found it in the deeper end of the Treasure Vault. I saw that you kept it in a corner, so…"
"You're such a prodigal wife!" the Holy Emperor pointed at Zhong Xiu, his agonized face changing shape as he growled. "This was given by Mr. Li! I'm not even willing to drink them myself! This is a priceless treasure! This is my life!"
There was only one pound worth of leaves. Now that three cups were down, how was he supposed to live?! Qin Manyun was lucky to have tasted the tea thanks to fate! Other than those with holes in their brains, nobody would serve this kind of tea to their guests!
The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt. He almost broke down in tears.
Qin Manyun stood by the side awkwardly. She could not help but ask, "Luo Emperor, could you give me some of the tea leaves? I know they're precious, so I'll bring some items from the Linxian Palace in exchange."
"Exchange? Can you afford it? You drank my precious leaves! Go! Go away! I don't want to see you again!" the Holy Emperor was furious, like a bomb ready to explode anytime.
Qin Manyun was speechless. A tea that could induce enlightenment was indeed priceless. Even though the Linxian Palace had some treasures of the same level, there was no way she could exchange them.
Luo Shiyu pulled on Qin Manyun and whispered after sticking out her tongue, "Sister Manyun, let's go for now. My dad is about to explode, let's get out of here."
Qin Manyun followed Luo Shiyu to her room. Her beautiful face turned serious as she looked at Luo Shiyu with her beautiful eyes, "Shiyu, tell me. Where did you get the tea leaves from?"
Luo Shiyu had already prepared her speech on the way. She said, "We got it from a secret place fifty years ago. My dad's never been willing to drink it so he can't believe my mum used it by accident."
"Shiyu, do I look like someone who can be easily fooled?" Qin Manyun smiled and shook her head. "I did hear the words 'Mr. Li'. Who is he?"
Luo Shiyu panicked and tried to change the subject. "Ah, you must've been mistaken. Didn't you want to look for the nine-tailed fox? I'll go with you."
She was ready to leave but she was pulled back by Qin Manyun.
"Shiyu, you know you can't hide this from me. I'll stay here for as long as you won't tell me. I'll find out eventually." Qin Manyun looked straight into Luo Shiyu's eyes. She had a feeling that this was a big secret!
Luo Shiyu frowned, seemingly perplexed.
Finally, she let out a sigh. Not only did they waste the tea leaves, but she was also about to expose Li Nianfan's existence to yet another person!
After taking a deep breath, she started with a serious tone, "Sister Manyun, to be honest… This is about a very important figure."
"A very important figure?" Qin Manyun's heart jumped a little. She did not know why but her hair stood on their ends involuntarily.
If this was in the past, she would simply think that Luo Shiyu had yet to see anything outside the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty and was just exaggerating. However, after tasting the tea that contained the Basics of Wisdom, she knew that Luo Shiyu was not exaggerating at all!
"Also, you don't have to look for the nine-tailed fox anymore. She was saved by this important figure and is being kept by his side." As she mentioned the nine-tailed fox, Luo Shiyu could not hide the hint of envy in her eyes. Being able to stay by Li Nianfan's side would be so fortunate
"Saving the nine-tailed fox from natural tribulation?" Qin Manyun stared at her with disbelief. "How could it be? What kind of important figure is he? Unless he's an Immortal?"
Luo Shiyu shook her head. She said softly, "Not an Immortal, he…he's way above an Immortal!"
