The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan was laughing, “Most impressive cultivation hero? Haha. This is too easy for me. I’ve read all the cultivation stories in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity and I’m familiar with all the plots!”

“But first we do need a title first, am I right? How about ‘The Great Cultivation Hero’?”

“No, that is too amateur. How about ‘The Greatest Cultivation Hero Ever’ instead? Haha, it sounds better.”

Xiang Li was listening with great anticipation as she nodded, “Yes my Big Brother is the Greatest Cultivation Hero Ever.”

“That is for sure, Xiang Li. Haha. There is no doubt about it.” Ji Yuan proclaimed proudly.

“Absolutely!” Xiang Li giggled.

Fairy Anyang whispered secretly to Xiang Li, “Is our master sure that he is able to write something so impressive that he is the greatest cultivation hero ever? The story also has to be the most impressive ever as well.”

Xiang Li put her hands on her bosoms as she whispered secretly to her, “In my heart Big Brother is the greatest cultivation hero ever. That is enough already.”

She began to giggle, “Maybe I will write a story also for this trial.”

Fairy Anyang rolled her eyes, “Keep it to yourself and don’t share with me. Or else I afraid that I may puke.”

Xiang Li giggled, “One day, you will be impressed by our master.”

“Never!” Fairy Anyang hummed coldly. “Did you see the way he is looking lecherously at me when we’ve only met for the very first time? And he had even lost control.”

“That is because you are too beautiful!” Xiang Li giggled with great delight.

Fairy Anyang: …

Ji Yuan was muttering to himself while he started to put his thoughts into writing. “Xiang Li, this will be the greatest cultivation hero that your Big Brother is going to create. Be prepared to be blown away completely! Haha.”

Xiang Li warned him, “Be careful of plagiarism.”

Ji Yuan frowned, “I am not copying word for word. You need to be better educated. You need to improve upon your lack of knowledge.”

He quickly ignored Xiang Li and started writing his epic story; he had always wanted to write an epic cultivation story.

<Ji Yuan a cultivator is born in Glory City, the only city that was well-preserved from the Age of Darkness.>

<He is the solo survivor of a fierce attack by an evil organization and even his girlfriend Jiajia had died in his arms. He was not to lament for too long before he too, was killed by the Evil Emperor and his fiend sage cultivators.>

Xiang Li was stunned. “Big Brother, you’ve game over in only two paragraphs?”

Ji Yuan laughed, “Of course not!”

<Ji Yuan thought that he was dead until he found out that he was brought back through time when he was only 13 year old!>

Ji Yuan explained with a grin, “Everyone loves transmigration stories! I am now brought back to life!”

Xiang Li blinked her eyes…

<This of course could not happen without the demonic book that he have found in his travel across the Divine Continent, among many mysterious things that he had also found. Even though Ji Yuan is a low talent cultivator but he is very good in finding mysterious treasures with his expert observations.>

<This time he is determined to stop the evil organization, save his city and his girlfriend Jiajia; he is determined to stop the events that occur in 2 years from happening.>

Xiang Li: …

“Big Brother, why are you only a 13 year kid? Aren’t you just a 15 year old brat 2 years later?”

Ji Yuan frowned, “All the kids love this type of cultivation story and imagine themselves as a genius cultivator when they are just a kid. Do you think anyone will read my story if we start at an old age and at a high cultivation realm?”

Xiang Li muttered, “But Big Brother, you’re trying to impress the three old men. They’re not kids.”

“Correction!” Ji Yuan rebuked her gently. “They’re only the trial spirits. Even though they look old but they are actually young at heart.”

Xiang Li muttered weakly, “They are actually very old spirits…”

Ji Yuan was not offended and instead he was laughing jovially, “Do you know why 99.9% of the cultivators have failed this trial in the first place?”

Xiang Li shook her head, “No?”

Ji Yuan answered, “That is because they’ve forgotten that this is actually the intellect trial! If you base on the appearances of these old men then you are on the wrong track. Therefore in order to pass this trial, we need to write the most popular and most generic cultivation story ever in order to impress them with our cultivation knowledge. Do you remember that they are actually asking to test our cultivation knowledge at the same time too?”

Xiang Li blinked her eyes, “Um…yes?”

“Therefore we are going to write the most epic ever cultivation hero in order to impress them. The cultivation hero will save his city and his girlfriend; that is why he is a ‘Hero’.” Ji Yuan grinned.

“Um…ok…” Xiang Li muttered. “But do you think that going back to time is unrealistic?”

Ji Yuan laughed, “Remember one of the trial conditions mention that we can write a fictional story. The second most important condition is to impress. It doesn’t matter if the cultivation isn’t real.”

Xiang Li returned a weak smile while Ji Yuan proclaimed loudly, “Just leave the epic writing to me!”

Ji Yuan continued to say, “Know why 99.9% of the cultivators have failed this trial? Because they lack the intellect to pass this intellect trial!”

Fairy Anyang whispered to Xiang Li, “I think you’ve better start writing your own version of the cultivation hero to help him. Your master is going to look like an idiot in this trial and he will probably fail his trial.”

Xiang Li asked, “Why? Big Brother will never fail any of his trials!”

Fairy Anyang smiled, “That is because he has already failed to impress the two of us with his cultivation hero already.”

Xiang Li protested weakly, “Big Brother will never be wrong…”

Fairy Anyang rolled her eyes, “Do you have to deceive yourself like this? Are you in love with him?”

Xiang Li put her palms on her face as she giggled shyly, “How do you know? Hehehe.”

Fairy Anyang: …

<Now Ji Yuan found himself in a cultivation class after he had transmigrated. He had instantly recognized familiar faces immediately and saw Yuluo, Little Princess, Qianxue, Feiyue, Chengxi, Yan’Er and of course Jiajia, whom he had thought had died in his arms.>

<There is of course Guo Taiming in the class as well who is always bullying Ji Yuan.>

<Not to mention that Mo Bei is the teacher in charge of the cultivation class now and when Ji Yuan had suddenly transmigrated and had given out a startled voice, Mo Bei began to angrily confronted Ji Yuan. “Adept Ji Yuan, do you have something to say about my class or are you not paying any attention?”

<Ji Yuan suddenly noted that Mo Bei is teaching the class on how to draw mystic talisman so he begins to say, “This Thunder Talisman has several flaws and is imperfect.”>

<Mo Bei immediately frowned, “What nonsense are you saying?! This Thunder Talisman has been perfected by countless generations of cultivators until it is no longer able to perfect.”>

<Because Ji Yuan has the Demonic Book of Darkness, he has foreknowledge of an even perfect talisman.”>

Xiang Li asked curiously, “How is it possible for countless generations of cultivators to be lagging behind an ancient book? Are they all idiots? In my trial, I’ve only the most basic profound cultivation methods…”

Ji Yuan interrupted weakly, “Xiang Li, this is not the real world. In this cultivation world, my Demonic Book of Darkness is perfect.”

“Um…alright.” Xiang Li nodded. “But you’re a cultivation hero, am I right? Why use such an evil name for your cheat?”

Ji Yuan laughed, “Because it sounds badass and cool.”

Xiang Li rolled her eyes, “Alright then…”

“How did you find this book, you didn’t explain.” Xiang Li asked again.

Ji Yuan frowned, “I found it during one of my travels. I did mention it.”

Xiang Li giggled. “I’ve forgotten. But you mention that you are a low talent cultivator so how did a low talent cultivator manage to comprehend something so profound as the Demonic Book of Darkness? Is it because anyone can also easily learn it?”

Ji Yuan: …

“That is not the point. Stop interrupting. When I found the Demonic Book of Darkness, its knowledge just open to me because I am the destined cultivation hero, OK?”

Xiang Li rolled her eyes with a weak smile; her Big Brother’s points are getting weaker and weaker now. She was only trying to help him to improve upon his writing.

<Ji Yuan immediately draws a new Thunder Talisman on the spot and smiled, “Try it.”>

<Immediately Mo Bei is stunned because he can find no flaws in the new Thunder Talisman!>

<Unknown to Ji Yuan and the cultivation class, the Senior Principal Mo Ming and two of the masters are secretly observing the cultivation class; they are all equally surprised that Ji Yuan is able to draw such a perfect Thunder Talisman!>

<The Thunder Talisman is one of the most difficult talisman to even begin with and Senior Principal Mo Ming is completely impressed by Ji Yuan’s skill!>

<He says, “This kid must be a true genius!”>

<Immediately, everyone is awed by Ji Yuan!>

<From that day onward, Ji Yuan is suddenly known as the genius of the cultivation class!>

<All the little maidens in the class will be secretly in love with him from that point on but Ji Yuan has no time for them; in his mind, he has to cultivate every day to save the city from its impending doom.>

<Whether he is eat, sleep or awake; he is always cultivating at an insane speed and breakthrough every few days.>

“You can breakthrough so easily? Sounds fake.” Xiang Li asked curiously.

Ji Yuan frowned. “This is a different cultivation world. I’m going to have level 1 to level 10 attach to each realm level. That is why I can breakthrough every now and then.”

“Erm, how many realm levels are there?” Xiang Li asked.

Ji Yuan frowned again, “No one will ask that question at the beginning of the story. Maybe there are 10, maybe there are 20. I add as I think about it. I don’t think you ever read a cultivation story in your life.”

Xiang Li: …

“But if you don’t know the complete realm level at the very start, how do you know how strong your opponents are?”

JI Yuan smiled and explained, “Because the MC of this story will never fight someone who is impossible to beat. Every realm level will be there to awe the readers to think that this is a new awesome realm level that has great disparity to beat from a lower realm level.”

Xiang Li asked, “Is it plot armor?”

Ji Yuan laughed, “The MC’s golden halo.”

Xiang Li said weakly, “What is the difference?”

“Plot armor means someone is always there to save the MC. The MC’s golden halo means that the MC will have amazing luck.” Ji Yuan laughed.

Xiang Li rolled her eyes; she still doesn’t see a difference.

“This MC in this story is going to be super smart, always win, super perfect and have no weakness.” Ji Yuan explained coolly to Xiang Li.

“You mean there are no smart villains in the story and they are there to be face-slapped by the MC?” Xiang Li giggled.

Ji Yuan frowned, “All the villains are super smart! But the MC is the only genius in the story.”

“Then how did this MC dies in the future if he is so smart and has the Demonic Book of Darkness?” Xiang Li asked again.

Ji Yuan: …

“Didn’t I say that he is a low talent cultivator from the beginning?”

Xiang Li: …

Fairy Anyang covered her face with her hands as she whispered secretly to Xiang Li, “Our master is just using whatever arguments that can suit him. I got a feeling that he will never get to complete this story because the entire story is broken and he is just writing along when he is there.”

Ji Yuan explained as he shook his head while explaining to Xiang Li who appeared to be such a cultivation noob in his eyes, “I’ve only got the Demonic Book of Darkness at the very last minute so there is no time to grow very powerful. But now I’ve the perfect opportunity to return to the past and be a perfect cultivation hero.”

“This time travel skill looks so easily to be mastered.” Xiang Li giggled.

Ji Yuan growled, “I’ve told you that the profound skills of the Demonic Book of Darkness revealed everything to me…”

Xiang Li interrupted with more giggles, “Revealed everything toward to you but you still got killed.”

Ji Yuan: …

He weakly replied, “Erm, it is only the theory part. I need to reach the proper cultivation realm in order to be truly powerful.”

“If you’ve only known the theory part then how do you manage to time travel and made that earlier Thunder Talisman?” Xiang Li could not resist asking.

“That is only because I am a genius. As long as I’ve that knowledge, I can make anything possible even without practicing it.” Ji Yuan declared proudly.

Xiang Li: …

Then how did you die in the first place…

<One day, Ji Yuan is taking a shower in the bathroom when Xue Qianxue has dropped into his bathtub.>

<Xue Qianxue is actually only trying to get Ji Yuan’s interest and to peep at him but alas, she has slipped and had accidentally dropped into his bathtub.>

Xiang Li: …

Xiang Li: …

Xiang Li: …

<Xue Qianxue quickly says, “Don’t get me wrong! I’m only catching a thief on the rooftop when I’ve slipped!”>

<But Ji Yuan is very cool to it and he calmly tells her to leave, showing no interest to her whatever so. Other than cultivation, he has no other interest.>

<This breaks Xue Qianxue’s poor heart because she is now a fangirl of Ji Yuan.>

<But just as she is about to leave, Ji Yuan says to her. “Wait a minute! Are you being afflicted by a strange heat that causes you to have the urge to bath for hours every day?”>

<Xue Qianxue gasps, “How do you know?”>

<Ji Yuan answers coolly, “That is because you have the Icy Divine Body and you’ve been trying to practice the fire profound skills to keep your icy body in check, am I right? Your upper axis accupoint and your middle axis accupoint, do you feel discomfort in those areas? And it gets increasing painful as times go by. If I am not wrong, you won’t live past 18 because of this.”>

<Xue Qianxue gasps again, “How…do you know about…this?”>

Xiang Li suggested, “Because you’ve peep at her before?”

Ji Yuan: …

“I just know with my superior divine sense.” Ji Yuan frowned.

“There is divine sense in this cultivation world?” Xiang Li asked curiously with a giggle.

“The Demonic Book of Darkness will reveal everything to me if I want to know anything about any heroines.”

Xiang Li: …

Seeing that Xiang Li was not convinced, Ji Yuan quickly added clumsily. “In the future, she will die because of the afflictions of her Icy Divine Body. So I have already known about her condition. So this time I am now trying to save her life with my foreknowledge.”

<Ji Yuan calmly says, “Only I can help you to cure you of your afflictions. Now remove your clothes and I will apply the cure for you.”>

Xiang Li: …

“Big Brother, isn’t this too lewd for age 13-15 readers?”

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, “The readers will love it, especially the three dirty old men that I am writing to impress. Haha.”

Xiang Li: …

Xiang Li: …

Xiang Li: …

Xiang Li said weakly, “Big Brother, I am thinking that…”

“You are already thinking that this cultivation hero is going to be super awesome, am I right?” Ji Yuan laughed jovially. “He is completely perfect.”

Xiang Li rolled her eyes before saying weakly, “Well, please continue…”

<Xue Qianxue looks at Ji Yuan in the eyes and hesitates for a while. But only for a while before she says to Ji Yuan, “I will strip for you to take a look. I trust you.”>

<Ji Yuan said coolly, “I am a perfect gentleman. I will not do anything funny. You can trust me to cure you or you can take away my life!”

<Xue Qianxue lowers her head to ask shyly, “Can you really cure me?”>

<Ji Yuan answers coolly, “I can surely cure you with my advance medical knowledge. My master is a medical saint.”>

Ji Yuan said to Xiang Li, “After I’ve cured her after giving her several treatments, she will fall madly in love with me because she can never forget my manly touches on her body.”

Xiang Li: …

“So who is the second maiden that you want to write about?” Xiang Li quickly asked weakly.

Ji Yuan laughed jovially as he started to smile wryly, “Jiajia. In my story, I’ll be the one screwing her and not the other way around. And I will be the super smart cultivator instead of her.”

Xiang Li: …

Xiang Li: …

Xiang Li: …

“Big Brother, why is that I’m thinking that you’re actually writing a revenge story on the heroines instead?” Xiang Li weakly said to Ji Yuan.𝑂𝓥𝐿xt.𝕔𝑶𝑚

Ji Yuan denied it immediately, “Rubbish! I’m not that petty!”
