I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

"It's impolite not to reciprocate. Nanan, give these head wreaths to the angels as something for them to remember their feathers by. We shouldn't let them think we're rude." Li Nianfan made some head wreaths and passed them to Nanan.

Although the angels voluntarily gave them the tribute, he felt that he should reciprocate with a gift. It was basic courtesy to treat everyone with respect. Besides, it was not too much trouble to make the head wreaths.

"By the way, give them some of the sweet rice wine, too," said Li Nianfan. He really wanted to let them know he appreciated them giving him the feathers.

"Yes, Brother Li," said Dragin obediently.

"Brother Li, are the feathers enough? The angels said they'll deliver more if you want," said Nanan.

"Oh? Did they really say that?" asked Li Nianfan with bright shiny eyes. The feathers he had were just enough to make a few more cushions and mats but not enough to make the bed sheets and pillowcases that he wanted. 'I feel so fancy. Other people would use goose down but I use angel down.'

Nanan nodded and said, "Yes, that's what they said."

"Well, I wouldn't mind if they bring some more but only if they're willing. Request for more black feathers if possible," said Li Nianfan with a smile. "By the way, their method for stripping off the feathers isn't that great. There's too much damage to the feathers, especially the black ones. It's a pity."

He wanted to pair the black feathers with the white feathers but there were not enough of the black ones.

"Brother Li, should we give them the hair removal stick?" suggested Nanan.

Li Nianfan nodded without hesitation. "Yes, that's a great idea."

In his eyes, the hair removal stick was not important to him. After that, Dragin and Nanan walked out of the four-part architecture.

Outside, Lord Angel and Alina were waiting nervously for them. They were fidgeting as they kept pacing back and forth. During this time, they witnessed several battles from the animals as they defended the fertilizer gold which became more and more tragic.

Then, the door opened and they eagerly rushed forward to meet Dragin and Nanan.

"Little Goddesses, how was it? Is the expert satisfied with our feathers," asked Lord Angel hurriedly.

"They're alright. It's just that some of the feathers were damaged. Brother Li was especially dissatisfied with the black feathers."

Both Lord Angel and Alina sighed internally and smiled bitterly. The fallen angel had gone crazy and did not want to cooperate with them, so it was only natural that his feathers were damaged. They were saddened by the fact that they had let the expert down.

"However, Brother Li still wants to thank you for your effort. Here are some head wreaths and sweet rice wine for you," said Nanan as she and Dragin brought out the gifts.

"Are these really for us?" Lord Angel and Alina looked at the 10 head wreaths. Their whole bodies were instantly covered in a layer of goosebumps. They almost fainted from the excitement.

To them, it would be enough if they left a good impression on the expert. It never crossed their minds that the expert would be so generous and give them so many head wreaths. Lord Angel stretched out his trembling hands as if stroking the most precious thing in the world and carefully accepted the head wreaths. There were even tears in his eyes. That was how excited and moved he was.

Then, he looked at the sweet rice wine. Inside a transparent box was a bowl filled with some kind of rice. The rice was submerged in some kind of liquid and there was even a hole in the middle.

"This is sweet rice wine…?" he asked curiously.

Dragin licked her lips when she recalled the taste of the rice wine. "Trust me, it's very delicious. You should count yourselves lucky."

Both Lord Angel and Alina gasped at the same time. They thought back to the pig food and decided that this sweet rice wine's value must be sky-high if the food given to the wild animals were already extraordinary. They had to pinch themselves to check if they were dreaming.

Lord Angel's face became flushed and he was a little incoherent. "Thank you, expert! The Angel Clan owes you a huge debt!"

"By the way, take this, too. It'll make removing your feathers faster and easier without damaging them," said Nanan as she took out the hair removal stick.

Lord Angel and Alina were overwhelmed by one surprise after another. They were filled with immense gratitude to the expert for giving them an Immortal Machine.

"I'm ashamed to say that as the lord of all angels, I didn't take the lead in stripping off my feathers. This is a dereliction of duty! I'll give this hair removal stick a try now." Lord Angel took the hair removal stick, spread his wings, and used it without hesitation. Immediately, a large number of feathers came off.

"This Immortal Machine's amazing!" Lord Angel was amazed and he immediately rolled the hair removal stick harder on his wings. He was so excited that one would think that the feathers were not his. In a blink of an eye, all his feathers had been stripped off his now-bald wings.

"Please, take these feathers to the expert," he said courteously.

"Sure!" Nanan and Dragin entered the four-part architecture again with Lord Angel's feathers.

After a while, they came out and handed more head wreaths to Lord Angel.

"Thank you! Oh, thank you so much!" Lord Angel fondly stroked the head wreaths made from his feathers. He was incredibly proud of them.

He and Alina bowed at the same time. "We'll take our leave now."

"By the way, since you come as friends, you should go register your visit at the Heavenly Palace," said Dragin.

"Will do," said Lord Angel solemnly while making a mental note to do as he was told.

Then, he and Alina walked down the Fallen Immortal Mountain. However, they did not immediately head to the Heavenly Palace but stopped at a random place to take out the sweet rice wine. Their eyes were full of enthusiasm and urgency.

A sweet-smelling fragrance instantly drifted out when they popped open the lid. The fragrance had a hint of normal rice wine and the sweetness of the glutinous rice. The mixture of the two created a scent that made them a little tipsy without even having to drink it yet.

"The expert's certainly extraordinary. The fragrance alone is enough to make me tipsy." Immediately, they divided the sweet rice wine and consumed them. The sweet rice wine was pre-chilled and they felt a refreshing feeling coursing through their bodies the minute they drank it. They were so happy to be alive in this world.

"Gah! I feel so hot!" Suddenly, Alina's body trembled as she exclaimed. Her cheeks were red like fire. She began to twist her body as she felt her brain melting. Her vision began to go blurry and the surrounding air seemed to have some weight. It felt like the air had become solid, pushing against her body and making it sway from side to side.

"Huh? Am I looking at Wisdom aura? It looks like a fish swimming back and forth in front of me," said Alina with a silly grin on her face. She then reached out and grabbed the air in front of her.

Beside her, Lord Angel's face was also a little red, but his condition was much better than Alina's. "Just as I expected! This sweet rice wine contains Origins of Wisdom!" Although he was prepared, he still trembled when the real experience occurred.

'How's this possible? The Origins of Wisdom are related to the foundation of the dimension. It's the most original force. It won't show itself unless it's forcibly extracted or the dimension has been completely annihilated. Did the expert just really give us the Origins of Wisdom? Where did he even get it from? It must be great being able to do whatever one wants.'

"No wonder the Wisdom aura of the seventh dimension's so rich. With the expert here, the potential of the seventh dimension is simply infinite." Lord Angel kept taking deep breaths to calm his trembling heart.

At this time, Alina had also woken up from her trance. "Huh? What happened to me just now?"

"You just resonated with the Wisdom aura. You weren't far from becoming a second-step Wisdom Elite," said Lord Angel.

Alina opened her mouth in surprise and asked, "Did I just take one big step?" Her disbelief was erased when she felt the power surging in her body. A tingling sensation shot across her skull and she exclaimed, "This sweet rice wine's heaven-defying!"

"It's even more than that! It's totally outrageous how this sweet rice wine contains the Origins of the Dimension." Lord Angel felt that his worldview had been completely shattered. He decided not to wrack his brain to understand things he could not understand. "Anyways, we have to make sure to stay on the expert's good side at all times. Let's go to the Heavenly Palace to register our visit now."

"Wise words, Father dear."

They flapped their bald wings and flew toward the Heavenly Palace. When they arrived at the Heavenly Palace, they immediately aroused the vigilance of Yang Jing and others, but after explaining the purpose of their visit, the situation improved.

Lord Angel was a second-step Wisdom Elite, strong enough to crush the palace, but he dared not put on the slightest air and acted extremely humble toward the people there.

"Head wreaths, sweet rice wine, and a hair removal stick?! Man, the expert's really good to you guys huh." The people of the Heavenly Palace were so envious when they heard about what they had received from the expert.

"Sure enough, to get the recognition of the expert, one needs to have a skill like laying eggs or growing feathers. Both of which I cannot do!" said Cultivator Junjun with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Xiao Chengfeng's eyes were red as he looked at Lord Angel's bald wings. He said sourly, "Brother, the expert has certainly made it worthwhile for you to give up your feathers."

Lord Angel erupted in laughter and said with pride, "Hahaha, I couldn't agree more. I'll work hard to regrow my feathers so I can offer them up to the expert again!"

"Brother, the feathers of the Angel Clan are obviously not enough," said the Jade Emperor contemplatively while he drummed his fingers on the table.

Lord Angel was taken aback for a moment. He then said, "Do you mean that I'll still need to get my hands on feathers from the fallen angels?"

"Bingo!" The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "We've been carrying out tasks for the expert and we understand his words very well. You obviously didn't fully understand the meaning of the expert's words."

Lord Angel suddenly became serious as he respectfully said, "Please, enlighten me."

"The expert already said that he lacks black feathers, so what are you going to do about that? Are you going to wait for the fallen angels to come out? How long would that take? Do you think the expert's willing to wait that long?" asked the Jade Emperor.

When these questions were raised, Lord Angel and Alina's expressions suddenly changed. The others also had stunned expressions.

Lord Angel's face turned pale as he said in fear, "Thank you for reminding me. I almost made a big mistake!" He did not think that far and the Jade Emperor was right—the expert might get angry if they made him wait too long.

"Please, tell us what to do," said Alina anxiously.

"Need we tell you? You should make the first move!" said Xiao Chengfeng.

"But the seal…" said Lord Angel hesitantly.

"Seal? What useless seal? Is that more important than the black feathers?" Xiao Chengfeng yelled at him. Then, he continued, "Do you really think the head wreaths and hair removal stick are mere decorations? Forget about the seal! You should charge forward even if you have to go through a mountain of swords and an ocean of fire!"

"You're right! There's nothing to fear when we have the head wreaths and the hair removal stick!" said Lord Angel. Then, he took a deep breath before saying, "I won't let the expert down!" He solemnly bowed to the people of the Heavenly Palace and gratefully said, "Thank you for all your advice. Your words have pulled me back from the edge of the abyss. I'm grateful for all that you've done. Please, accept a bow from me."

"You're welcome. It's our pleasure to help the expert in any way we can," said the Heavenly Palace people. They were happy with not taking the credit.

"I'll go back and make some preparations now. Hopefully, I'll have some black feathers for the expert soon." Lord Angel did not dare to waste any more time so he quickly left the place.

When he and Alina reached the fourth dimension, they instinctively went to the Heaven Mystery Pavilion to check out the situation. They saw Yun Qianshan and the others gathered on the eaves of the pavilion as if they badly needed some fresh air.

"Phew! The Origins of Dimensions were certainly extraordinary but the smell! Ugh! I don't think I can hold on much longer if I don't get some fresh air."

"Of course! This is the Origins of Dimension we're talking about!"

"Yeah! It's normal for our body to find it difficult to absorb something as great as the Origins! Let's rest and work harder later. We need to imbibe more Origins!"

They all roared excitedly.

Suddenly, they noticed Lord Angel and Alina. With one look, they were all shocked.

"Do my eyes deceive me? What happened to their wings?"

"Gosh! They're bald! Hahahah. This is too funny!"

"What happened? They must've been through a lot. Poor them."

Yun Qianshan and Zheng Shan laughed unscrupulously.

"Lord Angel, upon seeing you, I'm suddenly overcome by guilt!" The corner of Yun Qianshan's mouth crept up but he pretended to be sad and said, "We're enjoying ourselves so much over here, and yet, you've obviously been through a lot. It hurts me to see you like this."
