“Senior Brother, when did you come back? Why didn’t you call me?” In the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Lingle turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew out of the corner. Before she recovered her true body, she shouted happily. Li Changshou, who was sitting in front of the Pill Furnace and thinking about whether he should create a numinous treasure Pill Furnace, could not help but be stunned when he heard that.
“You can recognize my main body at a glance?” Ling’e blinked. There was a hint of nervousness in her eyes. She placed her hands behind her back and raised her little fingers. “Hmm… Can’t you tell?”
“It’s not that…”
Li Changshou rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.
At that moment, he had used the reverse method to set up some paper effigies around him. He had also openly displayed his main body and disguised it as a paper effigy. If he was attacked by an enemy, his main body could instantly transform into a broken paper effigy or hide in the ashes of the paper effigy. Although he had just returned a few days ago and the Taiji Painting and the Pagoda Master had yet to return, he would be safer if he took extra precautions.
The air here was the air of the Primordial World!
Li Changshou asked, “Ling’e, how did you recognize me?”
“This…”
Ling’e blinked. Can I say that?
If I revealed his technique and method, wouldn’t I be unable to distinguish the paper effigy from his senior brother’s main body in the future?
What if I want to implement some radical emotional sublimation plans in the future and end up finding the wrong main body? “I felt it. It’s a general feeling.” “Perhaps we’re too familiar with each other.” Li Changshou sniffed seriously and shook his head with a smile. “Forget it. It’s a good thing that you can recognize me. You won’t be fooled easily.” After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to think of a new plan. Ling’e patted her chest and slowly leaned over. She was dressed in a light pink dress that was gradually turning white. Her smooth and fair neck emitted a gentle glow. Her beautiful face, which had become more lively as her cultivation level increased, seemed supple.
Ling’e hesitated for a while before mustering her courage to ask softly, “Senior Brother, there’s something… Can I discuss with you?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Just say it. What’s wrong with discussing it?” “Well…” Ling’e tiptoed, but she could not say it. Li Changshou deliberately asked her, “Could it be that you want to go out and take a look? While Teacher has yet to take back a few treasures, I can protect you wherever you want to go. However, don’t cause trouble.”
As long as she said the word ‘yes’, she would have to copy the Steadiness Sutra three thousand times!
Ling’e hurriedly said, “No, the great calamity is coming now. It’s too unstable to go out.” Yes, that was very much like Li Changshou.
Li Changshou immediately felt relieved. He smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Isn’t this…”
Ling’e sighed softly and took the initiative to confess.
Before she was brought back to the Immortal Du Sect by her master, she was also a child of a wealthy mortal family in the trichiliocosm. After she entered the mountain to cultivate, she was cut off from her family like most disciples of the Immortal Du Sect.
She had many siblings in her family, and she had a few aunts. Her connections were complicated.
Because of that, her parents did not need her to return to send them off. Therefore, Ling’e did not return to her hometown.
However, a few years ago, Ling’e received a letter from her family. Only then did she know that her cousin, who was related to her, had also entered the immortal sect. Due to her outstanding potential, she had become a Perfected Immortal…
Upon hearing that, Li Changshou smiled and said, “That’s a good thing. Your friends and family have cultivated the Immortal Dao Fruit. You can also have a fellow Daoist who can befriend you.” Ling’e’s face darkened and she muttered, “Don’t mention it. My cousin’s personality is a little inappropriate. She has been teasing me since I was young. She snatched my food and even splashed water on my dress. She even pulled a few other children my age and stopped me from playing with them! Hmph!”
The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched.
The trauma of his childhood could not be underestimated.
Ling’e sighed again. “The rules of the Immortal Du Sect are that every few days, the executives will visit their disciples’ parents. My family knows about my cultivation in the Immortal Du Sect. The reason why that cousin of mine took the initiative to contact me a few years ago should be because she was pleased with herself. She had become Dao companions with the young master of a major faction in the trichiliocosm. She had also become an in-name disciple of an immortal from Jie School. I have never replied to her. Last month, she sent someone to deliver a jade token and said that she wanted to visit the Immortal Du Sect.”
At that point, Lingle pursed her lips and said gloomily, “I think she’s just here to show off. She hopes to see me not living as well as her.” “Don’t make such assumptions about others. Moreover, she’s your cousin who’s close to you.” Li Changshou said seriously, “Master is no longer around. You and I can only rely on each other. You are also the leader of the Little Qiong Peak. You don’t have to ask me about that. It’s rare for your family to visit. When will they come?” “It should be in the next three to five days.” Ling’e was a little uneasy. She said softly, “Senior Brother, I don’t want them to disturb you…” Li Changshou said warmly, “It’s fine. You can make the decision. If you want to see them, let them in. If you don’t want to see them, go and find the Sect Leader and secretly send them away. Don’t forget that you are now the in-name disciple of the Grand Pure One.”
Ling’e was instantly conflicted. After thinking for a while, she said, “Why don’t I entertain them at the Black Pool Peak?”
Although this girl said that she disliked it, she should be quite happy. Although they were childhood friends, they were still related by blood. It would be a blessing if they could interact more in the future.
Li Changshou had actually been worried that Ling’e would be bored to death in the mountains.
In the beginning, they did not have much strength. The fewer friends they had, the fewer disasters they would face.
Today, Li Changshou would continue to use the Steadiness Sutra to restrict himself, but Ling’e did not need to.
The upper limit of the disturbance that she could cause was completely under Li Changshou’s control.
Therefore, it was a good thing for Ling’e to make more friends.
Li Changshou reminded, “To be safe, let’s entertain them at the Black Pool Peak. I will seal all parts of the Little Qiong Peak later and ask the Big Boss Taiji Painting and the others to stay for a few more days. Remember to ask Lingli to prepare a few rare spiritual beasts in advance. You can also ask the Jiu Immortals to help you set up the array formation or gather with Senior Sister Liu Yan’er and the others. Also, don’t forget to call Aunt-Master Jiu Yushi to join in the fun. She’s always cultivating behind closed doors and rarely goes out.” “Yes, yes, I know!” Lingle placed her hands on her sides and fluttered them like two small wings. She said happily, “Thank you, Senior Brother.” “Go and get busy.” Li Changshou smiled and shook his head.
If he continued to remind her, he would become a nagging old Daoist priest. Ling’e said, “I’ll go make some snacks and fruit soup. They’ll be sent over later.”
After saying that, he hummed a tune and left the Pill Chamber on a cloud.
Li Changshou simply refined a furnace of sixth-grade Spirit Pills to restore his essence energy. He maintained the feeling of refining pills.
He extinguished the fire and spread his immortal senses inside the door. He looked at the immortal life on the Immortal Downpour Peak and sent his immortal senses to Pill Tripod Peak.
Elder Wan had been in seclusion after the Tribulation Transcendence. It was not convenient for him to congratulate him now.
Li Changshou asked in his heart, “Pagoda Master, when do you want to return to Teacher’s side?”
The two spiritual senses responded at the same time. “Actually, if the old master doesn’t confess, it’s fine for us to stay by your side,” the Pagoda Master replied calmly. However, the Taiji Painting said, “Your Dao has yet to be completed. Your Dao realm is not yet complete. It’s not appropriate for you to rely on us.” “That’s right,” Li Changshou replied. “I’ve checked everywhere. After Ling’e’s relatives leave, I’ll send everyone back to the Grand Pure One Temple.”
The treasures fell silent. They knew Li Changshou’s personality. He was thorough in his actions and had the most important life. He would never leave the word ‘stable’! However, they did not expect him to be so stable. Ling’e’s cousin, the daughter-in-law of an Immortal Dao faction in the trichiliocosm, obviously paid Spirit Stones to become in-name disciple of Jie School…
We need the Taiji Painting, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, the Cosmic Ruler, and the Flame Flag to be on guard at the same time?
The Pagoda Master muttered, “When I go back, I will definitely be sealed by the old master. I might as well be at ease with my little disciple. Little Disciple, how did you do it previously? That girl, Yun Xiao, can be charmed by you. Just a little more and you would… Hehehe, teach me a few moves? Let me get closer to Sister Golden Chalice.” The Cosmic Ruler complained, “Old pervert!”
Taiji Painting also said, “Frivolous!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. He was not too familiar with making friends with Numinous Treasures. After all, he did not have such knowledge in his previous life. Moreover, based on his understanding of Yun Xiao’s personality, he would definitely avoid her for hundreds of years if he did not have such a good opportunity to develop further! That nagging person who ruins things! Li Changshou sighed softly and listened to the criticisms of the Pagoda Master for not respecting treasures in his heart. He went to the rocking chair outside the door and closed his eyes leisurely. Li Changshou walked around the Heavenly Courts and realized that the Golden-Winged Roc was training the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the Water God Residence. He nodded in satisfaction.
That was what a mature Dharma treasure would do.
He found someone to give instructions and made a small courtyard for Ling Zhuzi to stay in after he returned.
As for…
Li Changshou could not be bothered about whether the Three Immortals of the Heavenly Courts would go to the Dragon Palace to celebrate or go to the World Edge Pavilion to spend. With Ao Yi watching, he naturally would not let Ling Zhuzi do anything rash. Bian Zhuang… forget it. After all, he was going to become Second Senior Brother’s man. It was not good to suppress his nature.
Yes, he’ll be damned if he dares to cause trouble in the Heavenly Courts!
Li Changshou’s slightly opened eyes flickered a few times. Bian Zhuang, who was chanting in the Netherworld, could not help but shiver. He looked around weakly…
There were more and more people living in the Water God Residence. From Ling Zhu, the Golden Roc, to Youqin Xuanya, they looked like they were in the second place of the Little Qiong Peak.
Recently, Li Changshou had actually been wanting to chat with Youqin Xuanya, the “Heavenly Soldier”. He had no other reason but to visit his junior sister. However, Youqin Xuanya was either in seclusion or on the way to kill demons.
Her reputation became more and more resounding. The scenes of her slaying demons were recorded by the other Heavenly Generals using Shadow-Retaining Spheres. They were constantly projected into the five continents and appeared on the huge bronze mirror that the Heavenly Courts stood in various places… That was the improvement of the Heavenly Courts’ soft power.
Long Ji did not see many people recently. She seemed to be going into seclusion to try her best to grow up and break free from the appearance of a young girl. That made Li Changshou have no choice but to continue preparing the boxes of “schemes”. The Heavenly Courts were already on the right track. Everything was developing rapidly.
There were many immortals in the originally desolate Cloud Sea Immortal Mountain. It was thriving. On Little Qiong Peak, Ling’e suddenly sent a voice transmission.
“Senior Brother, my cousin and the others are here. You don’t have to come over if you’re busy. I’ll deal with them.”
Li Changshou shifted his attention back to his main body. His immortal senses had already observed the dozen figures at the mountain gate, but he had not paid much attention to them. A magnificent carriage stopped on the cloud path. A handsome young Daoist sat inside. He was at the early-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm, and his Dao base was a little superficial. At that moment, he was looking at the woman beside him affectionately.
Beside the young Daoist, there was a beautiful female immortal wearing a veil. She should be Ling’e’s relative.
Are they here to look for Ling’e for something? It doesn’t seem to be the case. Otherwise, she would not have stayed in the carriage. Moreover, the woman looks a little arrogant… Li Changshou roughly understood. After thinking about it, Li Changshou focused his attention on Ling’e. He instructed the Pagoda Master and the flag to watch her closely and did not bother about her anymore. Then, Li Changshou’s attention returned to the Heavenly Courts. The paper effigy rode a cloud to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
According to the original plan, he would go to the Jade Emperor to report the subsequent progress of the matter regarding the red lotus. When the Jade Emperor heard that the red lotus had shattered, he could not help but frown. He asked, “IS it that serious to hide in Jie School?”
The Jade Emperor pondered for a while and said, “Changgeng, you have to pay attention to this matter. I know that you don’t want the Dao Sect to lose too much strength, but it’s not a small matter for the Heavenly Courts to select the legitimate
gods.”
“Your Majesty, please rest assured.”
Li Changshou bowed and said seriously, “Apart from the few little gods who don’t want them to be the eldest disciples of Jie School, the others will definitely not interfere with the operation of the Heavenly Dao because of personal matters.” “I naturally believe in Changgeng,” the White-Robed Jade Emperor said warmly. “When the Purple Cloud Palace discusses matters, the matter of the Great Tribulation should be much clearer. By the way, Changgeng, are you willing to go to the Purple Cloud Palace with me?”
“I’m willing.” Li Changshou pondered for a while. “However… Teacher asked me to accompany you.” The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “It’s fine. Anyway, we’re going to the Purple Cloud Palace. Can I snatch someone from Senior Brother Taiqing?” Li Changshou lowered his head and said, “Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty.” “I can’t snatch it anyway.” The Jade Emperor sighed and asked Li Changshou if there was anything new about the sea of blood helping Jie School snatch the red lotus.
Li Changshou sorted out his thoughts and picked out some things that the Jade Emperor did not know about and that happened in the Asura Ancient City. He slowly explained. He said, “The Reincarnation Pagoda will not fight for now. The senior brothers of the three sects, Qi Xunlian.”
Unexpectedly, the Sea Serpent Qi was hard to find, and his Dao heart was in danger. Princess Asura stabbed with her sword, and the Grand Supreme Elder Green Ox fell into deep thought.
In the end, the red lotus was still green. It was difficult for the Sect Master to succeed.
The Jade Emperor sighed when he heard that. He commented that the Patriarch of the Nether River did not know what was good for him and that Princess Asura was still loyal. The ruler of the Three Realms asked Li Changshou again. The ox in the Tushita Palace had changed its mind. Should he express that he would give him a reward or a memorial tablet for the “Green Ox’s Treasure”?
Li Changshou hurriedly dissuaded and said that there was no need for that.
He had to keep a low profile about the green ox. After all, he could not be sure how it would develop in the future.
As soon as he thought about the possibility that the single-horned King Si and the Ox King were not the same ox, Li Changshou… vaguely looked forward to the future of the story between the ox and Iron Fan. In the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor chatted with Li Changshou for a while and gave Li Changshou a mission… “Changgeng, Yun Hua seems to be a little unhappy recently. Help me visit her.” Li Changshou naturally agreed. He thought that Fairy Yun Hua might be worried about Yang Jian and Yang Chan. After leaving the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, he rode a cloud towards the Jade Pool. Unlike the story of Erlang splitting the mountain that Li Changshou originally knew, Fairy Yun Hua was not suppressed under the peach mountain. There were eight mountains at the edge of the Jade Pool. Seven of them were arranged in the positions of the Big Dipper. They formed a huge array and protected the immortal mountain that was suppressing Fairy Yun Hua. In order to prevent any rumors about Yang Jian’s growth from spreading, Li Changshou avoided him most of the time.
This time, when the Jade Emperor issued the decree, Li Changshou took the opportunity to visit Fairy Yun Hua. He could figure it out. The matters of Yang Jian were his trump card.
He rode a cloud and flew near the Jade Pool. He met more fairies on the cloud path than he did twenty to thirty years ago.
Everyone in the Heavenly Courts naturally knew who the Water God was. Whenever they saw Li Changshou, they bowed from afar. They looked amused.
When he arrived at the place where Fairy Yun Hua was imprisoned, Li Changshou did not enter. He only looked at the arrangements at the entrance.
This…
The interior of the mountain was hollowed out and set up a small Grotto-heaven. Jade trees, golden platforms, and warm pavilions gave birth to incense. Fairy Yun Hua, who was suppressed there by Heartless, could not take half a step out of the place. She could move around freely without any restrictions.
There were even six maidservants taking care of him. When he was fine, he could play the zither and play the flute.
In terms of suppression, Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to Fairy Yun Hua to tell her about Yang Jian and Yang Chan’s recent situation. Then, he waved his horsetail whisk and said to the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarding the entrance seriously, “All of you must guard him closely. Don’t be careless!”
“Yes!”
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals immediately lowered their heads and agreed. Li Changshou nodded in satisfaction. Before Fairy Yun Hua could rush out of the pavilion, he had already left on a cloud and returned to the Water God Residence.
On the way, Li Changshou’s spiritual perception flickered. He suddenly heard a term that interested him.
The Goddess of Stone.
Li Changshou sorted out the information captured by his immortal senses. A scene surfaced in his heart. It was the scene that had just happened on the Black Pool Peak…
There were a few short tables erected beside the pool. A thin canal was dug beside the pool and made into a winding stream. There were a few instruments placed not far away.
Ling’e was the host, while Jiu Yushi accompanied them. Opposite the two of them, the Dao companion who was a guest was holding hands with each other. At that moment, Ling’e had disguised her appearance to make herself look more ordinary. Moreover, her cultivation level had also been disguised with the Qi-Calming Mantra. She had revealed that she was in the Perfected Immortal realm, similar to her cousin. The veiled female immortal said gently, “I’m lucky to be a disciple of the Goddess of Stone. Although I’m only an in-name disciple who has learned some Dao techniques that she imparted, I still have some background. Ling’e, why don’t you come back with me? We are sisters and only relatives. When we travel together on the path of cultivation, I will naturally ensure that you have no lack of pills and Spirit Stones. I can also find a good Dao companion for you and help you cultivate. If you continue being a disciple here, ah, it’d be really difficult to stand
out.”
Jiu Yushi lowered her head and held back her laughter. Ling’e’s pretty face was extremely awkward.
In front of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou thought carefully and slowly stood up.
He had to stabilize his hand first and minimize the possibility of being exposed. He took out the “Dharma treasure” that he had never used before and was actually dispensable.
As her senior brother, he had to stand up for his junior sister and support her!
You still want to abduct my Ling’e?
Li Changshou pursed his lips and turned around to walk to the corner of the Pill Chamber. He untied his Daoist robe and took out a wooden box that had been sealed for many years.
Battle Robes!
What kind of robe? White brocade and golden embroidered crane collar!
What boots? Warm Jade Line Black Cloud-Treading Boots!
He could not afford to lose his belt. He could not afford to lose his headband. He hung a Spirit Jade Calabash around his waist as an ornament. The sleeves that were tied up were symmetrical.
He took out a Postnatal Spirit Jade Ring used for storage and casually injected some merit into it to turn it into a Postnatal Merit Numinous treasure.
The treasure glow that was constantly emitted was just to show that it was just an ordinary storage Dharma treasure in the house.
Li Changshou removed his disguise and walked out of the Pill Chamber. He adjusted his cultivation level to the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm and calmly floated towards the Black Pool Peak. The Water God is here to support Ling’e!
