I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 55 - The Godly Expert

Qin Manyun did her best to rush to the Linxian Palace as fast as she could.

The huge skyship landed on a square field in the Linxian Palace. Qin Manyun hurriedly walked to the venue where her Teachers and Masters were.

"Senior Qin."

"Senior Qin is back."

"Greetings to Senior Qin."

The Linxian Palace juniors respectively said their greetings to Qin Manyun. She nodded in response without stopping.

She walked to a big main hall and stopped, knocking three times on a stone wall that was next to the main hall.

After a brief moment, there was the sound of a splash.

The stone door opened and Qin Manyun walked in.

The stone room was divided into two areas which were separated by a huge crystal.

The crystal was translucent, and she could see the robed Master on the other side of it. The robed Master sat crossed-leg. There was a hairpin in his hair, as well as a horsetail whisk in his hand, too.

Qin Manyun greeted him respectfully. "Greetings to Master from Manyun."

The Master said from the other side of the crystal, "Back so soon? Do you have the Nine-Tailed Fox?"

"No, Master." Qin Manyun took a deep breath and continued in a serious tone, "However, I know the location of the Nine-Tailed Fox. But more importantly, I met someone of the utmost importance!"

There was a hint of doubt in the old Master's voice. "Someone with the utmost importance? Who?"

Qin Manyun replied, "It's a hidden expert, living in secrecy in the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty. His power is immeasurable. He was the one who saved the Nine-Tailed Fox."

The old Master moved. He said in a tone of surprise, "The Heavenly Lightning contains Dao of Destruction. He must be someone incredible to be able to save the Nine-Tailed Fox from a natural tribulation. If the Nine-Tailed Fox is being kept beside him, we should let it be."

"Master, you've previously mentioned that the Tianxin Zither has been damaged. Is it true?" Qin Manyun suddenly asked.

"Yes, it's true." The old Master sighed in exasperation and said, "The strings were damaged. It might never be fixed again."

"If I have an Enlightenment Bamboo, would it be possible to fix it?" asked Qin Manyun.

"Of course!" The Master was sure of it. Then, he shook his head and said, "However, Enlightenment Bamboo is very rare. The original Tianxin Zither was made from an Enlightenment Bamboo, which is what makes it so unique! Our lucky ancestors got an Enlightenment Bamboo by fate. It's too hard for us to get the bamboo!"

The Enlightenment Bamboo was not really a type of bamboo. Instead, it was a product of enlightenment!

The enlightenment state was harder to achieve than death.

Legends had it that if someone reached the state of enlightenment under a Bodhi Tree, the tree would grow fruits of Dao and become a sacred tree!

Enlightenment Bamboo was not as famous or valuable as a Bodhi Tree, but they were extremely similar and worked the same way.

An Enlightenment Bamboo was formed when an expert was near it, affecting its formation from the enlightenment and Insights.

However, it was impossible. Experts were rare, and experts who would reach enlightenment near bamboos were even rarer.

Too unrealistic.

It would take fate and luck, but more importantly, it would take the existence of said expert.

The Master sighed.

The Tianxin Zither had been passed down for many generations. It was the only treasure in the Linxian Palace that resembled an Immortal Item. It had been damaged. How would he face his ancestor?!

After the Enlightenment Bamboo introduction from the Master, Qin Manyun was feeling unconfident.

Did she bring back an Enlightenment Bamboo or was she mistaken?

She took out the bamboo from her Space Ring and asked meekly, "Master, is this the Enlightenment Bamboo?"

The Master shook his head without hesitation. "No way…"

What a naive girl. As if she would run into the Enlightenment Bamboo that easily.

However, he took it all back in the next moment. He jolted and gawked at the bamboo. Then, he took a closer look.

He sprung up instantly and ran into the crystal wall!

The crystal wall turned out to be a form of liquid. He popped out from the wall like a bubble.

Pop!

An old man with a long white beard and messy hair stood in front of Qin Manyun.

He snatched the bamboo and said with a shivering voice, "Let me see! Let me take a closer look!"

He caressed the bamboo and teared up. He said sobbingly, "It's the Enlightenment Bamboo! It really is!"

He never thought he would live to see this day. He felt like he was in a dream.

The Enlightenment Bamboo was short, but the quality was fantastic. It was even better than the bamboo their ancestors brought back!

The first Enlightenment Bamboo was badly damaged and charred. The Tianxin Zither would be fixed in no time.

For the Linxian Palace, the value of this Enlightenment Bamboo was too significant.

Did the Gods bless her with such a treasure?

The Master asked excitedly, "Manyun, where did you get this bamboo?"

"I got it from the expert I was talking about," replied Manyun.

The Master was in disbelief. "The expert just gave it to you willingly?"

Qin Manyun was feeling slightly awkward about this. She said embarrassingly, "Master, the expert was about to burn this bamboo. It was such a waste for a treasure like this, so I asked the expert if he could give it to me instead."

"What?!"

The old man jumped. "Burn…it?!"

Qin Manyun nodded and took out the dust she packed. "The expert seems to be making something. These are the remains. To him, it was all trash."

Trash?

The utmost valuable treasure was trash to him?

The old man stood there in silence. He was completely baffled.

"Master, are…are you alright?" Qin Manyun was worried.

After a long while, the old Master shook his head and said astonishingly, "I… I'm alright. Wow, he must be a Godly expert! You didn't offend him, did you?"

"I wouldn't dare, Master. I tried my best to please him." Qin Manyun hesitated, then continued, "Master, I gave all our Thousand-Year Black Ice to this expert."

"Good, good choice."

The old Master sighed in relief. Then, he smiled proudly. "That's my student. Always so smart. The expert probably gave you the Enlightenment Bamboo because you were kind and polite. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given it to you so easily! This is the best thing that's ever happened to the Linxian Palace. You're blessed with the best luck. Hurry up and tell me the rest. Spare no details."

Of course, Qin Manyun told him everything without holding back.

The old man's shock increased with each detail. He gasped at the end.

Yikes!
