My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 132 Genuine Fake Pill

“Humans have to experience the whipping of their cultivation lives before they can stand strong in the world. Only then can they compete with the sun and moon for glory and achieve an eternally peaceful life. Cultivation cannot be smooth-sailing. Therefore, we have to try our best to avoid karma. Furthermore, there are always some tribulations brewing in this world. Therefore, we have to be strong enough and experience some hardship in advance before we can survive the tribulation...”

“Is this... the reason you got beaten up by Master for four hours, Senior Brother?”

In Li Changshou’s straw hut, Ling’e could not help but laugh and cry. She frowned and looked at her senior brother who was lying on the straw bed.

The tragic scene of Senior Brother being beaten up just now was indeed the second time Ling’e had encountered something like that after entering the sect.

She did not know what was wrong with her master. He had not been that angry for a long time.

“Senior Brother, what did you do?”

“Heh, that’s not important.” The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched slightly. “Although there was a slip-up during the process, Master should have gotten himself together now.”

“Huh?” Ling’e blinked, slightly confused.

Originally, Li Changshou wanted to ask his master to take a stroll in the town. Then, he would arrange for one or two female Qi Refinement cultivators with lower cultivation levels to take the initiative to strike a conversation with his master, so that his master would regain some confidence.

That way, he would not be able to incur any karma, for they would only be talking to each other. With him controlling the medicinal effects of the Flame of Heart Pill, he would not really make the two parties develop romantic feelings for each other.

Never did he expect...

The people left, embarrassment arrived and the pill shattered.

Although it was only a short moment, the scene of a group of female qi-trainers with strange things swarming towards their master was really...

It was still fresh in his memory, and he had a deep impression of it.

What surprised Li Changshou was the sudden riot of spiritual beasts...

If Li Changshou had not reacted in time, taken advantage of the chaos and rushed out of the town with his master using Earth Escape... he would perhaps have been left behind to bear the losses of the town!

Little Poor Peak could not afford it.

However, he had accidentally discovered that the Flame of Heart Pill seemed to have an unexpected effect on spiritual beasts and demonic beasts.

With that lesson learned, Li Changshou decided to temporarily seal the Flame of Heart Spirit Pill as one of his trump cards. He would use it appropriately in the future.

Indeed, he should have stopped in time after getting the Anti-Reconnoitering Pill.

However, Li Changshou’s initial plan was to use the Flame of Heart to disrupt the other party’s state of mind during the battle in the future and achieve the effect of defeating the enemy.

The attempt to help his master was also a “practical assessment” of the medicinal effects...

Moreover, the Flame of Heart that was shattered this time was only a grade-one Spirit Pill.

Li Changshou still had a few grade-three Spirit Pills in his hands. He did not know if they could affect the mental state of a Heaven Immortal realm “expert” during a battle.

That was not easy to test.

“Senior Brother, do you need me to rub it for you?”

“There’s no need, there’s no need.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “This injury can heal itself at any time. This time, I was a little unstable when handling the matter. I’ll stay on guard. Go accompany Little Aunt-Master. Don’t let her come over. Otherwise, she will definitely be injured.”

“Alright...”

Lan Ling’e turned around and left the straw hut worriedly.

Li Changshou took in a breath of cold air. He laid on the ground and silently took out a stone slate before beginning to improve the Steadiness Sutra.

A burst of laughter suddenly sounded from the straw hut next door. Li Changshou scanned it with his immortal senses and saw that his master was continuously changing into different Daoist robes. He was also beginning to exude vitality...

Although there were some twists and turns, the effects seemed to have been achieved.

In the secret underground chamber of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou’s main body smiled slightly. He looked at the paper Daoist in the straw hut who had beaten him up and began to comprehend the Dao for the day.

Ever since General Dongmu came to thank him, he had not appeared in the temple for two years.

Li Changshou was not in a hurry. He was very calm.

It would naturally be good if he could obtain the support of the Jade Emperor who had great potential to be useful. If he could not, it would be because the expostulations he had given were too vague. He would continue to go to the Heavenly Courts to earn the position as a god.

There were gains and losses in everything. That was the truth of the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, it had only been two years. For Golden Immortals like the Jade Emperor and General Dongmu, a single seclusion and some enlightenment might not be enough for them to handle some major matters...

What made Li Changshou feel slightly relieved was that Elder Wan Linyun had returned safely from the North Continent. He had even specially invited Li Changshou over to admire the ferocious-looking poisonous insects.

Following that, Elder Wan Linyun went into seclusion to attempt creating the immortal sense poisonous pill. The two paper Daoists also stayed by Elder Wan’s side. Although Li Changshou had thought about whether he should secretly provide Elder Wan Linyun with some of the Flame of Heart Spirit Pills that he had refined... Li Changshou dispelled that thought after careful consideration.

Elder Wan Linyun was quite good-looking. Besides, Li Changshou wanted to see what kind of immortal sense poisonous pills Elder Wan Linyun could refine with his poison refinement skills.

He also took a few to expand the inventory of his trump cards.

In the past two years, the days of cultivation had finally returned to their usual stability.

After Lingle and his toxic junior sister discovered the secret to improving their efficiency, the progress of the transformation of the spiritual beast enclosure was very pleasant. They completed it within just a year.

Li Changshou waved his hand and spared the scolding

After the spiritual beast enclosure was completed, Youqin Xuanya felt that she had wasted too much time on cultivation. She also returned to her Cave Abode to cultivate for a long time.

In terms of self-control, Youqin Xuanya’s ability was not bad. She had merely been struck by Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu’s magical technique previously.

Recently, Li Changshou actually wanted to ask Jiu Jiu a question...

She spent every day getting drunk in the Little Qiong Peak. What was the point of creating defensive array formations with all of the savings that she had accumulated over a thousand years?

However, Jiu Jiu’s cultivation had always been that way. Whenever she gained enlightenment, it would last her for hundreds of years.

It was indeed the true meaning of the Inaction Sutra.

Jiu Jiu’s overall cultivation progress was thirty to forty percent faster than the other Qi Refinement cultivators of the same age who lived in seclusion every day.

However, it was too difficult to achieve inaction. Half of the reason for Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu’s inaction was the fact that she often drank too much.

There was not much going on in the Immortal Downpour Peak. Kuai Si’s disappearance did not affect the Immortal Downpour Peak much.

Throughout the Immortal Downpour Peak, from the widow to the disciples, all of them had seen Kuai Si’s death. They had seen him fight fiercely with others, but he had unfortunately been killed...

That saved Li Changshou a lot of effort. He decided to monitor the Immortal Downpour Peak for another three hundred years.

If no one mentioned that matter again, he would forget it.

If anyone else mentioned it again... Li Changshou could only plan again and end that karma.

Li Changshou had originally thought that the peaceful period of time would last until the opening of the Three Sects’ Meet in the Middle Continent. Therefore, he placed his focus on comprehending the Dao and improving the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra.

He did not expect that the calmness only lasted for two years...

On that day, Jiu Wu rode a cloud and rushed over from Pill Tripod Peak. Li Changshou was immediately alarmed.

He had clearly taken away two bottles of Ambition Pills half a month ago. It was not the day to “fulfill the order” yet.

“Changshou! Quick! Something happened!” “Oh?” Li Changshou walked out of the Pill Chamber. “Uncle-Master, speak slowly.”

Jiu Wu said anxiously, “Something happened to the Ambition Pill! After an elder in the Heaven Immortal realm ate the Ambition Pill, his mind was in a mess and he began behaving insanely.

At this moment, he is being treated by the elders at Pill Tripod Peak!”

Li Changshou frowned and immediately sensed that something was amiss.

He was the one who refined the Ambition Pill. Every medicinal ingredient was processed by him. He had checked the medicinal properties of every pill in detail.

Moreover, almost all the elders who had Dao companions in the sect had used them in the past few years. There were also some old Perfected Immortals who used them to stimulate their aged mentalities...

The pill only had the effect of giving the users “vivid imagination” and “waves of emotions”. Besides, after Li Changshou improved the pills, he specially reduced the usage of Love Stone and Love Water.

Jiu Wu said, “This matter has already alarmed the Grand Elder. What should we do?”

“Uncle-Master, are you sure that he ended up like that because he ate our Ambition Pill?”

“From what this elder said, it is indeed so...”

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Li Changshou’s expression turned solemn. He jumped onto Uncle-Master Jiu Wu’s cloud and the two of them left Little Qiong Peak together. They headed towards Pill Tripod Peak.

Along the way on the cloud, Li Changshou’s mind kept spinning. He had already used his immortal senses to observe the various parts of Pill Tripod Peak. He was analyzing in his heart that there was a possibility that someone was plotting against him.

After he jumped down from the clouds and gave Jiu Wu a few words of advice, he headed to a pavilion where seven or eight old Daoists had gathered.

Thankfully, Elder Wan Linyun was also there. That saved Li Changshou a lot of trouble.

Jiu Wu said, “Disciple-Nephew Changshou is here!”

The old Daoists in front immediately turned around and looked over. Most of them had worried expressions on their faces. Some of them were holding an Ambition Pill in their hands. They were probably analyzing the medicinal properties inside.

A middle-aged Daoist, whose clothes were in a mess, was sitting in a circular chair. He lowered his head and slept.

Li Changshou immediately captured a hint of the Intoxicating Soul Powder. It should have been Old Master Wan Linyun who had knocked that person unconscious.

“Changshou, do you have an antidote for the Ambition Pill?”

“I may have consumed an Ambition Pill before, but I was safe. Why is there such a hidden danger?”

“Elders, don’t be anxious.” Li Changshou bowed and said, “Can you let me take a look at this elder’s condition in detail? Although my cultivation level is low and my Dao in alchemy is insufficient, this Ambition Pill was refined by me. Perhaps I can see something.” Elder Wan Linyun said, “Let Changshou take a look.”

The other elders immediately made way for Li Changshou. He bowed and walked past the elders.

One of the reasons was that he wanted to be careful. He ought to put on his best etiquette too.

Li Changshou did not reveal his immortal power. Instead, he placed a hand on the unconscious elder’s arm and calmed himself down to sense it.

Very quickly, Li Changshou got an idea and turned to look at Jiu Wu.

“Uncle-Master, did you tell them that they can’t take other pills that have similar medicinal properties within three days of consuming the Ambition Pill?”. Jiu Wu nodded immediately and answered, “Disciple-Nephew, I have not forgotten anything that you have instructed me about.”

Li Changshou nodded slightly and said, “Elders, please bear witness and help me search this elder’s storage Dharma treasure. I want to see if there are any remnants of the Ambition Pill.”

Without waiting for the others to speak, Elder Wan Linyun took a step forward and said, “Let me do it.”

The other elders could only swallow their words.

The sullen-faced tyrant of the peak was currently frightening them.

Although it was rather rude to search other people’s storage Dharma treasures and forcefully open them as that might damage the restrictions on them, Li Changshou knew that he had to explain the matter clearly at this moment to prevent himself from being blamed for no reason.

Soon, Elder Wan Linyun unlocked that elder’s storage Dharma treasure. After searching for a while, he took out a jade bottle and poured out three light-blue pills.

Li Changshou grabbed one of the pills and pinched his fingertips. Then, he shook his head and took two steps back without saying anything

The other elders immediately walked forward and checked the medicinal properties of the remaining two pills. They deduced what kind of “performance” the pills would have. Soon, their expressions changed slightly... “Who refined this pill?”

“They seem to be no different from the Ambition Pill. However, the Ambition Pill refined by Disciple-Nephew Changshou has mild and neutral medicinal properties. Why do these two pills seem like they are evil?”

Elder Wan Linyun sneered and was about to wake the unconscious elder.

It was not easy for him to have a junior that he liked, but the latter had been framed! “Elder!”

Li Changshou hurriedly shouted, “Elder, don’t be in a rush.”

Elder Wan said calmly, “How can we not be anxious about this? Those who refined those pills recklessly have harmed quite a lot of people. They have even harmed your reputation for no reason!”

Li Changshou smiled bitterly. He secretly observed the expressions of the elders present and sighed.

“This matter should not be publicized. The person who refined this pill must be a senior in the sect. It’s also because my cultivation level is too low and I did not produce that many Ambition Pills. That’s why a senior decided to analyze the pill formula and refine it on his own. I have never thought of using the Ambition Pills to reap profits and gain fame. I initially just wanted to give it to Uncle-Master Jiu Wu to help him strengthen his ambitions. After that, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu offered the Ambition Pills to the elders. In fact, I had spent a lot of effort on this pill, which caused me to neglect my cultivation. However, this pill was not easy to refine. Therefore, the root of the problem lies with me.”

Elder Wan Linyun frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Li Changshou added,

“I will be with Uncle-Master Jiu Wu in a while. I will offer the Ambition Pills to the Hundred Mortal Hall. From now on, it will be distributed by the sect.

“Elders, please help me secretly tell the other elders who want to use the Ambition Pills to not look for Uncle-Master Jiu Wu from now on. They can just go to the Hundred Mortal Hall to look for some pills.

There are still pills that I have to refine in my furnace. I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, Li Changshou bowed and left the hall.

Only then did the elders regain their senses and hurriedly shouted, “Changshou, don’t be angry about this. We will definitely give you an explanation.”

“Changshou, don’t give the pills to the Hundred Mortal Hall...”

Li Changshou did not even look back.

Together with that scene, he displayed the pride and arrogance of a young man who refined pills.

“Hmph!”

The bronze staff in Elder Wan Linyun’s hand was smashed against the ground. The other elders trembled again. “After living for tens of thousands of years, you people are still inferior to a junior! If I find out who refined these fake pills to harm others, I will definitely not let him off!”

On the other side, Li Changshou had just flown out of Pill Tripod Peak on his cloud when Jiu Wu rushed up from behind.

However, before Jiu Wu could speak, Li Changshou said softly, “Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, I remember that there is an executive in Pill Tripod Peak called Liu Feixian...”

“That’s right. What’s wrong?”

“Uncle-Master, come closer...”

Li Changshou bent down and muttered into Jiu Wu’s ear.
