I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot
Chapter Summary
Since Qin Manyun spoke so highly of his cooking, he could not help comparing his cooking to the dishes here in the Immortal Realm. If the dishes here were half as good as his, then it would be a joke to offer his cooking to someone like Qin Manyun! In fact, there were so many problems that he was unable to point them all out as he might offend this young man and end up making him an enemy.
Chapter 124: What Do You Mean?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “I might be wrong.
” Li Nianfan was shocked.
Then, he smiled without speaking further.
He was too critical.
Since Qin Manyun spoke so highly of his cooking, he could not help comparing his cooking to the dishes here in the Immortal Realm.
If the dishes here were half as good as his, then it would be a joke to offer his cooking to someone like Qin Manyun!
Since the food in this realm did not have as high of a standard as his, he was proud of himself.
After all, delicious food was priceless!
This proved that the so-called delicious food in this realm was not even close to the food he made!
No wonder the bunch of cultivators were so kind and friendly to him.
Besides admiring his artistic side, they probably just want to earn some free meals!
He raised the wine glass and took a sniff before taking a small sip.
After that, he placed it down right away.
The young man could not help asking again, “What now?
Is it not to your liking as well?
” After a moment of hesitation, he said, “The wine has a faint fragrance.
It’s crisp and clear in general.
Its making and ingredients are top-grade, too.
However, they could pay more attention to the temperature changes of its surrounding, since the changing of seasons affects the texture of the wine.
If they could make adjustments accordingly, it would be perfect.
” Hearing that Li Nianfan’s criticism did make sense, the young man was shocked.
Though after a while, he challenged him, “If there’s better wine made for ordinary men, they would’ve presented them here.
Why would they keep this as the house wine in the Immortal Guest House?
” He directly pointed out that Li Nianfan was merely an ordinary man.
How could he criticize the wine served to cultivators?
How could the wine served to cultivators be less impressive than wine for ordinary men?
What a joke!
Li Nianfan merely smiled.
“I’m just expressing my viewpoint.
Nothing’s unchangeable, especially the taste of wine.
What I said was just a small part of winemaking.
As they say, learning has no boundary, any man can teach.
Wouldn’t it be best to gather more knowledge?
” “Learning has no boundary, any man can teach?
” The young man’s pupils dilated as if he was shocked by what Li Nianfan said.
He sat, mumbling while transfixed in his seat.
By the side, Daji jolted slightly.
Her head was ringing loudly, as if Li Nianfan’s statement was the key to gain more Insights and that one could learn true Wisdom after deciphering his sentence.
His statement kept repeating in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more in awe she was.
It was as if she was swimming in a boundless sea, in awe of its vastness and unable to decide which direction to go.
Could it be that the reason her master decided to live as an ordinary man was because he had many things to learn from ordinary men?
Any man could teach.
A godly man like Li Nianfan was willing to learn from ordinary men?
Perhaps he was the only man who would do such a thing!
As for the young man, he could feel that his brain had been completely messed up.
The deadliness of this sentence was like a bullet shooting through his worldview, destroying all the things he thought he knew.
As the son of the Lord of Azure Ville, he was born with the top and finest resources in this Immortal Realm.
With the finest talents and teachers, everything he had could only be dreamt of by the others.
There was nothing else he could learn from the others.
Before he met Li Nianfan, he would have answered him by saying ‘there’s no need to learn’ but now, he was speechless!
Everything in Azure Ville was like this wine.
He thought it was perfect, but was it really so?
If he could ‘gather more knowledge’, would he stand out from the people in Azure Ville?
If he became more successful than his father...
The young man was breathing more rapidly.
He had to take a deep breath to calm down his rising heart rate.
He was able to learn such wisdom from an ordinary man.
It showed that his statement, ‘any man can teach’ was indeed correct.
He looked at Li Nianfan differently.
He stood up and said in a solemn tone, “I understand now.
Thank you for your teaching.
” Oh, another polite cultivator!
Li Nianfan was impressed by this young man’s politeness.
He smiled.
“It’s just some thoughts, not a teaching.
” The young man sat down again.
Out of the blue, he looked at Li Nianfan and asked awkwardly, “May I ask for a glass of wine?
” He was feeling emotional and needed some wine to calm himself down.
However, thinking about how the whole table of food belonged to Li Nianfan, he felt embarrassed.
“Haha!
No problem!
” Li Nianfan handed him a glass of wine.
The young man was pleased.
He raised the glass and said to Li Nianfan, “Thanks, let me make a toast to you!
” With that, he gulped down the glass of wine.
He felt that the wine tasted fuller than all the wines he had tasted in the past.
He said, “If I have the chance, I’ll do as you say.
Re-adjust the making of this wine.
I’m sure the taste and texture will greatly improve.
” It seemed that this young man was indeed someone of importance.
He had the power to re-adjust the winemaking in this town!
It seemed that he had made yet another powerful friend!
Li Nianfan smiled and did not point out that this was just a small problem with the wine.
The truth was that this wine had many problems.
In fact, there were so many problems that he was unable to point them all out as he might offend this young man and end up making him an enemy.
The young man continued to focus on the telling of ‘Journey to the West’.
It was almost reaching the end of the story, and the middle-aged man was analyzing the ending along with the audience.
“They were finally able to reach their destination after going through nine thousand, eight hundred and eighty-one challenges.
Senior Wu Cheng’en is trying to tell us that if we want to cultivate to Immortality, there’d be challenges in front of us.
Though as long as we remain determined to conquer all the challenges, we’d succeed eventually!
” “Exactly!
Through the telling of the ‘Journey to the West’, we can see that the group of four aren’t only facing physical challenges, they’re also mentally challenged as well.
They grow from within, which is similar to cultivators like us!
” “Indeed, the journey of our cultivation is just like theirs, filled with different kinds of tests.
” The guests in the Immortal Guest House nodded in agreement.
The young man beside Li Nianfan even stood up and called out in excitement, “I agree!
Here’s yours!
” With that, he tossed a couple of glowing Spiritual Stones to the man who was telling the story.
After he sat back down, he asked Li Nianfan, “Have you heard of the ‘Journey to the West’?
” “Yes.
” Li Nianfan nodded.
“Senior Wu Cheng’en’s indeed an expert.
Being able to write such an Immortal-classed story!
His experience is definitely beyond our imagination.
” The young man sighed in awe.
Then, he continued, “They all had extraordinary identities, and yet, they were willing to walk by foot to the destination that they eventually arrived at.
They are indeed role models.
” Li Nianfan looked at the young man strangely.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Actually, we should see it differently.
It’s because of their extraordinary identities that they were able to arrive at the destination.
” He was only stating a different point of view, but the meaning of it had changed completely.
The young man frowned.
“What do you mean?
”
