My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 319 - The Sect Master’s Bewitchment



Chapter 319 The Sect Master’s Bewitchment

Three for Ling’e, three for Master, and three for Youqin… Li Changshou roughly calculated the number of immortal peaches he could use. He realized that if he did not try to use the immortal peaches to refine pills, he would waste some. The immortal peaches he brought back to the sect were more than enough.

To be safe, the Sect Leader could not send the immortal peach directly. After all, the Sect Leader…

He knew too much! Li Changshou even felt that the Sect Leader knew something that he did not know. Every time he predicted the Sect Leader’s reaction, there would be slight deviations.

If he could refine pills that could replicate the medicinal effects of the “immortal peach”, Li Changshou would naturally offer some to the Sect Leader and the sect. He would help some Perfected Immortal elders who were about to reach the end of their lifespans increase their lifespans.

Other than that, there were many mistakes. In his previous life, Li Changshou had already experienced the principle of ‘If you give someone help during times of need, they will be grateful to you.’

After handing over the peaches, Li Changshou realized that his Toxic Junior Sister was the easiest to deal with. There was no need to explain anything.

Li Changshou grabbed the peach and she raised her hand to swear that she would enter seclusion after eating it.

That made Li Changshou a little worried. He was worried that she would go down the same path as before she became an immortal, where she only focused on cultivating and did not know how to consolidate her Dao base, causing her Dao Fruit to be a little weak.

Youqin Xuanya was still far from the Golden Immortal Tribulation. There was no need for her to worry.

It would not be too late to secretly guide her in cultivation after his situation in the Immortal Du Sect became more stable.

After thinking about it, apart from the ‘paper effigy’s social circle’, Li Changshou only had a few trustworthy Dharma treasures, ahem, good friends in the Primordial World… After reaching the Golden Immortal realm, Li Changshou realized the importance of having friends. Every time he thought about how he would be the only one on the Little Qiong Peak after tens of thousands of years, he would still feel that something was missing even if his cultivation level was high and his safety was high. “He does not like crowds, but he wants to see liveliness in his own world. When he feels a little tired, he would take a few glances from afar and feel that he’s in the midst of a commotion.”

Therefore, Li Changshou would help those who had formed a good relationship with the Little Qiong Peak as long as they did not have any karma.

At that moment, he was riding a cloud that was neither high nor low. He was floating towards Pill Tripod Peak to give Elder Wan… peaches.

There was a brocade box slung on his wrist. There were three immortal peaches, a few side dishes, and a little bit of longevity wine in the brocade box.

Today, Li Changshou would use the ‘Flame of Heart’ immortal sense poisonous pill as a guide and secretly guide Elder Wan Linyun with the Grand Pure Pill Dao that he had mastered.

When Elder Wan reacted, he would use the chance to receive pointers from the experts of Ren School to conceal it. Then, he would take out the “Enlightenment Spirit Pill” and the immortal peaches.

If he did not explain anything and only sent pills and immortal peaches, Elder Wan would most likely not pursue the matter. However, it would easily leave a thorn in his heart… Li Changshou thought about it carefully for a long time before deciding to take some risks himself. He took the initiative to reveal some information to Elder Wan Linyun to dispel the doubts in his heart. After entering Pill Tripod Peak and seeing Elder Wan, Li Changshou bowed. The two looked at each other and smiled.

Although Elder Wan’s kind smile was hair-raising…

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Elder, have you been well recently?” Elder Wan Linyun nodded with a smile and invited Li Changshou to take a seat.

He placed a few dishes one the table, took out a pot of good wine, followed by two to three Poison Sutra excerpts. Four hours passed just like that.

Li Changshou’s plan went quite smoothly. Elder Wan Linyun quickly realized that Li Changshou’s attainments in alchemy were beyond his understanding. Li Changshou took out the Flame of Heart and shared the refinement and improvement process of the Immortal Sense Poison Pill with Elder Wan Linyun… “Changshou.” Elder Wan Linyun was filled with emotions. He smiled coldly and sighed. “Your attainments in the Dao of alchemy are not something I can compare to. It really makes me feel gratified. I knew that you had such comprehensive abilities and potential. However… aren’t you a little too fast?”

“Well, I had some luck.”

Li Changshou looked out of the window and deliberately lowered his voice. He said in a low voice, “Elder, don’t tell others that I have received the teachings of an expert of Ren School and the three volumes of alchemy. Recently, I have refined some Spirit Pills that can help cultivators improve their comprehension and break through bottlenecks. I have specially come to offer them to you, Elder!”

As he spoke, Li Changshou took out a few porcelain bottles and placed them in front of Elder Wan Linyun.

Elder Wan Linyun’s gaze slowly changed from gratification to relief.

“Alright, alright… I know that you have a bright future in alchemy. It’s enough to let you live comfortably for the rest of your life.”

The old man waved his hand and said, “This pill is so precious. The path to immortality is long. You should use it yourself. Even if you give it to me, it will be difficult for me to take another step forward. Cultivation is like climbing a mountain. My mountain is only this high.”

Li Changshou frowned and bowed deeply to Elder Wan Linyun.

“Elder, the Dao is endless, and there is a barrier in your heart. If you are hindered by the barrier, it will be difficult for you to take a single step forward. Elder, please accept these pills. If you have the intention to take another step forward, perhaps these pills can help you!”

Elder Wan Linyun frowned slightly. His eyes remained calm as he said, “Alright, don’t…”

“Elder!”

Li Changshou buried his head deeper and said in a clear voice, “Elder, if you did not guide me on the Dao of alchemy, how would I be able to enjoy my current glory!?! Please accept my kind intentions, Elder!”

Elder Wan Linyun frowned slightly and said, “Get up. If you continue to be so emotional, you don’t have to come next time.” “I wouldn’t dare!”

Li Changshou immediately looked up and smiled at Elder Wan Linyun.

Elder Wan Linyun was already fiddled with the few Spirit Pills. He could not bear to part with them. Clearly, he valued alchemy a lot.

Seeing that, Li Changshou took out three immortal peaches and naturally handed one to Elder Wan.

“Elder, try it.” “Yes.” Elder Wan casually grabbed the immortal peach. His gaze did not leave the porcelain bottle. He opened his mouth and bit it. His entire body froze like a stone statue…

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Elder, how is the peach? You’ve already eaten. You can’t turn around and chase me away!”

Elder Wan Linyun frowned and glared at Li Changshou. “Where did you get this peach?”

“It’s a gift from an expert, a gift from an expert. Anyway, it’s not from a scam. Elder, don’t worry.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Elder, you should go into seclusion after eating them today. These three peaches and one Spirit Pill are enough for you to break through to the first or second realm. You can become a Golden Immortal.”

“If you can break through to the Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible, it will be the best thing for the Immortal Du Sect. You will have an endless lifespan, and you will be able to live forever. Wouldn’t it be wonderful for you to study alchemy and poison forever?”

Elder Wan nodded slowly and took another bite of the immortal peach. He said coldly, “What other preparations have you made? Take them out.”

“One more thing. It’s about the medicinal effects of these few Spirit Pills.”

Li Changshou waved his sleeve and placed dozens of bamboo slips in front of Elder Wan Linyun. Li Changshou said seriously, “Take a look at these before you use the pill. If I’ve understood something wrong, I can correct it in time.” Elder Wan Linyun was speechless. “Elder, you can’t tell anyone about this. I want to cultivate in peace. I don’t want to… Huh?”

Li Changshou paused. Elder Wan Linyun nodded with a complicated expression. At that moment, Li Changshou frowned and said, “Elder, I have some enlightenment. I’ll meditate here for a while!”

“Sure!”

Elder Wan Linyun raised his hand and pointed at Li Changshou. A light green barrier surrounded Li Changshou. If it were any other place, Li Changshou would usually remain calm and multi-task to secretly search for the source of the sudden impulse.

However, since he was with Elder Wan, he did not need to go through so much trouble. Li Changshou’s mind sank to his main body. There seemed to be a blurry light in front of his eyes. He carefully sensed the spiritual perception that appeared in his heart, but he did not obtain anything. There was only… a feeling of being watched.

Li Changshou quickly captured that there was a layer of mysterious Dao runes around his essence soul. The Dao runes originated from the Big Boss Taiji Painting that the Pagoda Master had mentioned.

Someone was spying on me but was blocked by the Taiji Painting?

No, that’s not right…

The Taiji Painting had been seen through! Otherwise, I would not have sensed it so strongly. What happened? The two Saints of the Western Sect had attacked? Have I been exposed just like that?

That’s not right. If the Western Saints have found me, I should have sensed extreme danger. It should not be just a matter of “something happening”. Not long after, Li Changshou no longer felt anything in his heart. It was as if his previous senses were just an illusion.

This…

Li Changshou was shocked.

He quickly bade farewell to Elder Wan and rushed to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

This time, he could not be bothered to ask for the permission of the elder in charge of external affairs. He walked straight to the portrait of the Saint and took out the three incense sticks on the side of his hand. He kowtowed three times seriously.

The portrait of the Saint swayed gently, and a corner of it floated up slightly. A wisp of Dao runes did not disturb anyone. It condensed into two words in Li Changshou’s heart.

“Everything’s fine.” Li Changshou felt much more at ease. Clearly, the Saint knew that the ‘Taiji Painting’ warning had been broken. How much information did the words ‘Everything’s fine’ contain… Li Changshou bowed in front of the portrait for an hour and thought carefully.

At that moment, he could only make two simple deductions.

Firstly, a Saint was spying on him and broke the cover of the Taiji Painting. However, the Saint stopped him in time. That was why the Saint said that everything was fine.

Secondly, it could be that a Saint had seen through him. However, the Saint felt that it was fine, so he said that everything was fine.

The second option was very likely to lead to problems in the future. There was no need to discuss the first option.

Could it be that the person who looked at me just now was the master of the Jade Void Palace or the Green Touring Palace?

If I make bolder guesses, could he be… the old master of the Purple Cloud Palace?

Why?

Why are you looking at me?

Li Changshou had many options in his heart. He kept thinking and eliminating them. In the end, he decided on sixteen possible scenarios. Most of them were related to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation…

Just as Li Changshou felt that something was amiss, his heart surged.

This time, the message he received was rather clear. He was very familiar with the impulse.

A distinguished guest had arrived at the Sea God Temple. Li Changshou did not dare to delay. His spiritual will landed in the Sea God Temple in Anshui City. He looked at the Divine Envoys who were cultivating the battle techniques of the Magi in the front and back courtyards. He searched around, but there was nothing unusual. Why are there so many strange things happening today.. Suddenly, he heard a voice that was deliberately suppressed beside the statue.

“Changgeng… Changgeng? Can you hear me? Changgeng? If you can hear me, reply by making your statue jump!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

He had to make the statue move!

He used his spiritual will to look at the source of the voice. There was a faint black shadow there. The shape of the black shadow… was slightly plump.

Li Changshou remembered that voice. It belonged to the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, Daoist Duobao.

However, why is such a big shot looking for me so sneakily?

There is something abnormal about this matter. It is most likely a trap.

Li Changshou’s statue remained motionless. An old paper effigy that was in the Heaven Immortal realm emerged from the ground. It was ready to show itself at any time.

However, just as Li Changshou’s paper effigy appeared, a huge hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed his paper effigy’s arm. Without any explanation, it pulled him into a familiar… hole.

Based on his insight, the slightly plump Daoist Bai Jing in front of him was really Daoist Duobao.

After all, it was a unique mystical ability, Void Lord.

“Changgeng!”

Daoist Duobao pulled Li Changshou’s paper effigy and squatted down. He looked around worriedly and sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou.

“You’re in big trouble!”

Li Changshou held his breath and focused, but he did not panic. He remained calm and asked, “Senior, what’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong? What else can it be?” Daoist Duobao said anxiously. “To tell you the truth, I just left Green Touring Palace and immediately rushed over.”

“Do you know that Junior Sister Yun Xiao went to the Green Touring Palace to look for Master!?!”

Li Changshou was confused. What does this have to do with me?

“Well, I wonder… what urgent matter does Fairy have?”

Daoist Duobao blinked and chuckled.

“Little fellow, you call me senior, and you call Junior Sister Yunxiao Fairy. No! No! From today onwards, you will call me… Hmm… male immortal doesn’t sound good either…”

Li Changshou was still in the mood to joke. He heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands. “Immortal Elder?”

“Yes, yes. It’s just that it sounds a little distant. In the future, just call me Senior Brother.”

Daoist Duobao coughed and did not give Li Changshou a chance to retort. He immediately explained the entire situation. “Previously, Master and I were eating peaches and listening to songs in the palace… Ahem, Master was teaching me how to cultivate hard. Junior Sister Yun Xiao suddenly came and scared me so much that I swallowed the core of my peach!”

“Junior Sister Yun Xiao said that she had doubts and wanted Master to clear her doubts. Master did not dare to be careless. Junior Sister Yun Xiao rarely asked questions, but every question she asked would take Master a long time to answer and she could easily retort… As expected, Master could not answer the question Junior Sister Yun Xiao asked today.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fairy is so powerful that even the Saint is stumped.”

“You’re being too polite!”

Duobao put his hands in his sleeves and squatted in the corner of the cave with Li Changshou. He muttered, “It’s not the problem of my junior sister that is troubling the Saint. It’s you, Changgeng.”

Li Changshou’s smile froze. Could it be…

Duobao sighed and said, “What Junior Sister Yun Xiao asked seems to suggest that she has fallen in love. There are always thoughts in her heart, and she would always think of someone. There are also traces of that person in the Great Dao. Logically speaking, she has been cultivating for countless years. She should not have been so agitated. She is worried that she has been schemed against and wants Master to help her investigate.”

“Then?” Li Changshou could not help but ask.

Daoist Duobao smiled and said, “Master’s deduction was blocked by the Taiji Painting. He also personally attracted the Immortal Vanquishing Sword. While the Taiji Painting was distracted, he cut through the power of the Taiji Painting and saw… You.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. The case was solved!

His previous impulse was actually because the Grandmaster of Heaven used the Immortal Slaying Sword to poke him from afar!

The Primordial World was really too dangerous! “Hehe, are you afraid?”

Daoist Duobao bumped Li Changshou with his shoulder. “Don’t worry. Master said that Uncle-Master insisted on protecting you and isolated his deduction again.” “However, Master also said that he only took a glance at you and knew that you would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. You are also fated with Jie School. Moreover, Uncle-Master Li would definitely not use such a thing to plot against the disciples of the Dao Sect. He told her not to worry. Do you see that? Master was speaking up for you!”

Li Changshou could not help but be puzzled.

Why did the Grandmaster of Heaven…

Duobao smiled and said, “However, Junior Sister Yun Xiao is really not easy to fool. She even asked Master a few questions about the Love Tribulation. Master did not know how to answer her. Think about it. As the Sect Master, he can’t lose face in front of my junior sister. That’s why he said something mysterious…” “Next, Junior Sister will definitely look for you and ask you five questions. You have to answer according to what I tell you. You have to be in the same situation as Master’s prediction. That way, your relationship with Junior Sister Yun Xiao will be more stable. You can also take care of my master’s pride. Do you understand?” Li Changshou frowned and muttered, “Senior, if I say that I don’t understand…” Daoist Duobao glared at him and stood up. He raised his left hand in the air and shouted, “Where is the Immortal Vanquishing Array Diagram!?!”
