I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot Chapter 397
Advertisement
At the Immortal Realm, Fallen Immortal Mountain.
A few clouds floated by slowly in the air. Then, they landed at the four-part architecture.
Xiao Bai stood at the pavilion. Xiao Bai slightly bowed and said, "Welcome home, Master."
Li Nianfan looked around and asked curiously, "Xiao Bai, why is it only you at the house? Where's Blackie?"
"Went out to play, still not back yet."
Li Nianfan frowned. "I've neglected Blackie. Let Blackie have fun, as long as Blackie doesn't run into Demons."
He thought about it and realized he was always busy. He always left Blackie alone at home. However…it could not be helped. He was around a lot of Immortal bigshots. He could not let an ordinary dog accompany him. It was slightly inappropriate.
"This metal gnocchi can speak!" exclaimed Juling Shen behind Li Nianfan. He looked at Xiao Bai with disbelief. He exclaimed, "Awesome, this metal piece has a conscience and it has shiny eyes. Unbelievable."
Xiao Bai turned to look at Juling Shen and said, "Buff guy, I'm a robot."
Juling Shen scratched his head. "You're not a robot. You're more like a robotic Demon."
"Juling Shen, please, shut your big mouth." Taibai Jinxing at the side softly coughed. If he could, he would slap Juling Shen twice on the face. 'Why are you talking nonsense? Who cares if Xiao Bai's a robot or a demon? Xiao Bai's someone important to the expert. How can you bear the consequences? You won't live long like this.'
Then, he looked at Li Nianfan and said, "Saint, feel free to order us around if you need anything to be moved."
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "It's just some daily household items. I don't need your help, I can just put them in the System Space and move it."
"Saint, how can that be?" Taibai Jinxing waved his horsetail whisk and said with seriousness. "You're officially moving. People who move would hire other people to move their stuff. It's tradition."
Juling Shen also nodded. He flexed his muscles and said, "Yeah, Saint. Don't be courteous with us, it's my hobby to help others move."
"Alright." Li Nianfan helplessly shook his head.
He was not surprised that Taibai Jinxing and Juling Shen were so friendly. His position was like an employer. He felt like he was not as powerful as someone with high status, but anyone sane would try to befriend him.

Xiao Bai at the side asked, "Master, you're moving? Are you bringing Xiao Bai?"
Li Nianfan casually replied, "I'm not moving. I have a new house. I'll stay over there occasionally."
He smiled and let Taibai Jinxing wait for a moment. He went to open the door of the storage room and walked in.
Taibai Jinxing and Juling Shen stood outside the door. They silently observed everything in the four-part architecture. The house full of Spiritual Treasure astounded them. However, the thing that caught their attention the most was the Air Purifier and the Water Purifier.
Juling Shen carefully put his head closer to the Air Purifier. He inhaled the mist and instantly felt energized. His powers slightly improved!
Although it was slight, it was still incredible. Juling Shen felt like he could do nothing all day and just inhale the air from the Air Purifier. It was way better than his cultivation.
If he had one Air Purifier with him, his powers would be through the roof.
He was awestruck. "This is pure Immortal Qi. The effect is as good as an Immortal Dan!"
Taibai Jinxing was calm. He said quietly, "The Water Purifier could filter water into Spiritual Water, too. These two items could transform ordinary elements into Immortal elements. I'm sure they're Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. Alright, stop freaking out. Can you bear the consequences if you displease the expert?"
However, after a moment, he was stumped.
Li Nianfan walked out from the storage room with a Water Purifier and an Air Purifier.
Taibai Jinxing thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Li Nianfan. Then, he looked at the misting purifiers in his hand. He felt puzzled.
He could not help but ask, baffled, "Saint, why… Do you have two of those?"
"Is it weird that I have two of these?" Li Nianfan thought it was funny. "Aren't these like chairs and tables? It's just daily household items, it's not worth a lot. I have a lot of these inside. I would have left them stacked in there if I wasn't moving."
Taibai Jinxing's mouth was open. No sound came out.
'Can we have a normal conversation?'
He screamed internally.
'That's an Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. Not worth a lot? You have a lot of these?
'You can count the amount of Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures you have? Did you manufacture it?'

Taibai Jinxing gradually calmed down and kept a poker face. He did not move.
Clang.
Things were getting thrown out by Li Nianfan from the storage room.
Pots, pans, ladles, bowls, and kitchen utensils. Each of them shined beautifully.
'Heavenly Spiritual Treasures! They're Superior Heavenly Spiritual Treasures!'
They…were either in a box or simply placed on the floor. They were thrown out like garbage.
'This… So many treasures! Can I even count them?'
Taibai Jinxing was stunned.
Juling Shen rolled his eyes while his jaw was on the ground. He was thunderstruck.
He silently took the two axes on his waist and hid them away.
It was too embarrassing of a comparison!
His mind went off and he suddenly wanted to cry.
Not long ago, he was glad that the Saint blessed and rewarded him with Deluxe Merit. He was happy that his axes were improved. Back then…he was a happy guy. He was so excited that he showed off with his axes in front of everybody.
However, his two axes were just Inferior Deluxe Merit Treasures.
He looked at the set of knives tossed out by the expert. 'From the small fruit knife to the big knife, which one isn't a Superior Heavenly Spiritual Treasure?
'So embarrassing!
'I'm sorry, I didn't know I was so poor.'
Taibai Jinxing at the side also silently put away his horsetail whisk.
The treasure he most valued was inferior to kitchen utensils. He felt…painfully jealous.
"Alright, almost done. I'll leave it like that first."
Li Nianfan walked out of the storage room and wiped his hands. Then, he said, "Oh yeah, Xiao Bai, prepare a hundred grams of fruits for me in the backyard. I'll bring some for convenience."
"Yes, my noble Master." Xiao Bai immediately went to the backyard.
Taibai Jinxing and Juling Shen learned something new from that.
'Spiritual Fruits can be calculated with grams. And it's…a hundred grams.'
Li Nianfan packed some eggs, jellos, and wine.
He was finally done packing after half an hour.
"Alright. Xiao Bai, look after the house. I'll come back anytime," ordered Li Nianfan. They headed to the Heavenly Palace carrying luggage and bags.
Taibai Jinxing, Juling Shen, and two guards carried his things with caution. They did not dare to neglect it. They looked intensely serious as their hearts pounded. They held on tight.
'You might not believe it but I'm hugging a bunch of Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. I have a satchel of Spiritual Fruits on my back, too. I'm the cheapest thing on me right now.'
'I have never been this rich while hugging you guys.'
Li Nianfan saw that the old man, Taibai Jinxing, was covered with bags. He felt bad but Taibai Jinxing insisted on carrying it for him so he let it be.
He was bored on the road. Li Nianfan asked curiously, "Oh yeah, Brother Chancellor, I noticed recently that the Immortals of the Heavenly Palace have been very busy. What are you all doing?"
"Saint, you don't know this. All these years, the world revolved around the realms. A lot of places lack management. Moreover, there were a lot of Demons in the three realms. Powerful Demons caused havoc everywhere. We're in desperate need of staff to defeat them."
Taibai Jinxing paused, then said, "We need staff at the Heavenly Palace, too. The Emperor's recruiting. At the same time, we're also searching for guards or generals that survived."
"I see, you guys are indeed busy." Li Nianfan nodded. It seemed like the Heavenly Palace had a thousand tasks to do.
He continued to ask curiously, "Who did you guys hire so far?"
It should be easy to hire people to work for the Heavenly Palace.
"Sigh, it's too difficult!"
Taibai Jinxing frowned. The star on his forehead was slightly scrunched from his frowning. He sighed and said, "The Heavenly Palace isn't the same nowadays. In the past, we could attract staff with Flat Peaches. But even so, those who are capable aren't that willing to join us. The Heavenly Palace has fallen, and it's not as famous as it once was! We can only hire those with average cultivation and capabilities."
"Really?"
Li Nianfan raised his eyebrow. However, it was normal once he thought about it.
To ordinary people, the Heavenly Palace was too high-end and mysterious. However, in the eyes of bigshots, the Heavenly Palace was not worth their time. Joining the Heavenly Palace meant restricting their freedom. Big shots naturally would not want to.

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.
