My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 167 You Think I’ve Lost, But...

“Brother, the seniors have all left.”

Xiong Lingli looked up at the sky and muttered softly.

Li Changshou, who was meditating in the shadows beside her, nodded slowly. He did not look up and only lowered his head to think.

Li Changshou’s heart twitched when he saw Youqin Xuanya, who was cultivating and gaining enlightenment in the boundary.

He was thinking of an immortal pill called the ‘Reverse Ambition Pill’ and was planning to use it to counter the poisonous attacks of his toxic junior sister...

Li Changshou had made up for the times that he had made use of her previously, by giving her the Faraday Cages to help her survive the Heavenly Tribulation.

When she comes to Little Qiong Peak later, I’ll avoid her and not bid her farewell.

That way, he could gradually reduce the implications and avoid getting more karma from her in the future.

There was a saying in the Steadiness Sutra”If one has many friends, there is no way of hiding. If there are few friends, there will be no trouble.

I... will not be deceived!

Li Changshou shook his head slightly in his heart. He prayed for peace on the Immortal Path and a chance to lead a peaceful life.

As for the Faraday Cage...

The Great “Origin” Immortals left, signifying the end of the main show of the Three Sects’ Meet.

However, to the immortals of the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools on the ground, there were many other miscellaneous and complicated things to do.

The matter about someone stirring trouble, which Sect Leader Ji Wuyou was worried about, should not be far away...

As expected, as soon as the immortals from the three sects had just dispersed, the members of the Carefree Immortal Sect of Ren School and the other four Immortal Sects went to look for Ji Wuyou together. After some small talk, Ji Wuyou looked for Li Changshou.

“Changshou.” Ji Wuyou smiled and shot Li Changshou a glance. “Come and meet the seniors.”

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

Li Changshou walked forward and bowed to the three old male and two old female immortals in front of him. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. He was slightly nervous.

“I’m Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect... Greetings, Sect Leaders.”

An old woman smiled and said warmly, “You’re really lucky.”

She was naturally talking about Youqin Xuanya’s confession.

As expected, if the five of them did not come into contact with his Dao Body, they would not be able to see through the sixth version of his Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra... Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, the old woman continued in a gentle voice, “Changshou, do you know how many disciples of Ren School who would otherwise be destroyed in the Heavenly Tribulation, transcend the tribulation because of your birdcage?”

“I know that you don’t have any refining techniques, but can you take the birdcages out and let me examine them? You might be able to find the method to refine it. Then, you will be rewarded greatly. I will give you a generous gift.”

Generous gift...

Li Changshou glanced at the Sect Leader, Daoist Wuyou, who gently winked at him...

What does that mean?

Li Changshou frowned slightly, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. “Please... please forgive me, seniors. I’m afraid I can’t take out that item.”

The old woman frowned. “Why can’t you take it out? Do you want to enjoy it alone? Or are you only willing to use it in the Immortal Du Sect?”

Another old man said in a low voice, “The Six Immortal Sects of Ren School are related to each other. It’s probably not appropriate for you to keep this to yourself...”

Li Changshou looked at his Sect Leader again, only to see that Daoist Wuyou looked troubled...

Forget it, the Sect Leader is a little unreliable. He shot me a glance too slowly.

Fortunately, he had already thought of a solution.

Li Changshou hurriedly bowed with a Dao salute and spoke in a voice that was filled with helplessness and was getting softer.

“I naturally don’t dare to hide it. However, helping others transcend the Heavenly Tribulation would result in karma... Although this item was extremely difficult to refine, there are definitely many masters of alchemy in the sect. It should not be difficult to replicate. Seniors, all of you are the Sect Leaders of large sects. Can you... guarantee that this item will not be spread outside Ren School?”

He continued, “I feel that once this item is spread to others, we will gain merit if it helps a good immortal to obtain the Dao. However, if it is used to help an evil immortal obtain the Dao, it will definitely bring about karma. In the Immortal Du Sect’s ‘Inaction Sutra’ that I’ve studied, we are warned... to adopt the law of inaction and follow the laws of nature...”

The Sect Leaders of the five Immortal Sects frowned and were momentarily speechless.

The Immortal Du Sect disciples were puzzled when they heard that. However, the elders nodded.

His eyes were filled with emotions, especially when he looked at Li Changshou’s back...

Ji Wuyou smiled and took two steps forward. He stood between Li Changshou and the five Sect Leaders of the immortal sects of Ren School.

Li Changshou calmed down slightly. He knew that the Sect Leader supported him, so he did not have much to worry about. When there’s a chance later, I’ll think of a way to introduce the Sect Leader to the Great Daoist Master. After all, the Sect Leader is also a Golden Immortal. He can also run errands in Tushita Palace...

Yes, I definitely am not trying to find a new Dharma treasure man for the Great Daoist Master!

A white-haired old man smiled and said, “In the Three Realms of the Primordial World, who can really avoid karma? Changshou, you’re actually over-thinking.” “I’m not...”

Li Changshou paused for a moment and was slightly surprised.

It was entirely because his immortal senses had captured one of the immortals from Chan School’s Jade Void Palace, who was thin and old, returning with a flower basket...

Judging from the direction of his cloud, he seems to be heading here.

Yun Zhongzi!

Could it be that this Primordial Master of Alchemy... is also interested in the Faraday Cage?

Li Changshou thought about it and continued, “I’m not over-thinking. I just think that this item was entrusted to me by an elder, and if I were to cause trouble for the reincarnation of that elder, wouldn’t that be...”

“It won’t be as serious as you make it out to be.” Another old woman smiled and sighed. “It’ll be fine if you take it out and just show it to us.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and deliberately stalled some time to wait for Yun Zhongzi.

Li Changshou waited for Yun Zhongzi to reach a spot that was about fifty kilometers away from the place and listened carefully. Then, he said hesitantly,

“It’s fine for you to take a look. However, we have to have a master of alchemy here. If he sees it and says that this item cannot be refined, please do not make things difficult for me later. I’ve only been on the path of cultivation for two hundred years. I... can’t afford it.”

Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “Don’t worry. All the Sect Leaders are the mainstays of Ren School. How can they make things difficult for a mere disciple like you?”

The two of them echoed one another, making the rest speechless.

The five Sect Leaders of the immortal sects of Ren School started to discuss. Before they could come to a conclusion, they heard laughter from the sky.

“Can you let me take a look?”

As he spoke, Yun Zhongzi’s figure appeared fifty kilometers away. He used the Cosmic escape technique and left a few afterimages in the air. His cultivation level was undoubtedly revealed.

The moment Yun Zhongzi appeared, Ji Wuyou and the other five Sect Leaders, as well as the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect and the two immortal sects, bowed and said, “Greetings, Senior. (Merit Golden Immortal, Uncle-Master)”

Li Changshou was really nervous at that moment. He was worried that that big shot would see through his disguise and cause more trouble.

However, Li Changshou did not expect that Yun Zhongzi would send a voice transmission to him.

“Don’t worry. I’ll help you resolve this situation. Before Senior Brother Xuan Du left, he told me not to expose your identity. I owe Senior Brother Xuan Du many favors. You can rest assured today.”

Li Changshou sighed and thought...

Indeed, with a backer, I can really spend less effort.

Yun Zhongzi, who was holding a flower basket, chuckled and said, “Fellow Daoists, there’s no need to be so polite. My young friend Changshou, can that birdcage of yours that can withstand the Heavenly Tribulation be revealed to me?”

Li Changshou continued to look hesitant. Naturally, he had to do his part well to keep the act going

Ji Wuyou coughed twice and glared at Li Changshou.

Li Changshou said in a low voice, “Senior, please set up a barrier. I’ll show this to you.

If Senior says that it can’t be refined, I believe all of you will believe me.”

A Sect Leader of Ren School scolded, “Little disciple, how can you guard against us like we’re thieves?”

Li Changshou looked troubled, but Yun Zhongzi stood up and smiled. “Why? Does everyone not believe me?”

The Golden Immortals did not dare to speak.

Yun Zhongzi took out a treasure bottle and placed it aside. He hovered in front of Li Changshou and grabbed his arm. Then, they turned into a stream of light and entered the bottle.

A group of Qi Refinement cultivators immediately surrounded it.

However, no matter how they probed, they could not see anything in the bottle.

A moment later, a stream of light flew out and transformed into Li Changshou and Yun Zhongzi. Yun Zhongzi frowned and pondered. He kept making calculations, but he heaved a long sigh. “I can’t refine this Dharma treasure.”

Everyone looked at each other.

Yun Zhongzi mumbled, “This does not conform to the principles of alchemy. It does not conform to the will of the Dao. This item should not exist in this world. Since I started refining, I have refined tens of thousands of treasures, but I have never seen such a mysterious item. The Great Dao is simple, and there is some complexity amidst the simplicity... I don’t know if I should say that it’s amazing or call it strange.”

The Sect Leaders of the six immortal sects, the disciples of the elders of the Immortal Du Sect, and the people from the three Immortal Sects of the Three Schools who used their immortal senses to observe the place were all shocked.

Even the Jade Void Palace’s Golden Immortal, Yun Zhongzi, could not replicate it?

Yun Zhongzi sighed and took out a jade token from the flower basket. He handed it to Li Changshou and said to him, “I owe you a favor today, young friend. If anything happens later, you can use this to find me.”

Li Changshou held the jade token in his hand. He knew that Yun Zhongzi was helping him temporarily because of the Great Daoist Master...

He remembered that Yun Zhongzi was one of the few experts in the Three Sects who would consider the life and death of mortals during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

As a Golden Immortal of Chan School, he knew that the Heavenly Fate of Chan School was to support the Zhou Kingdom. However, he still went to Chaoge City to offer his wooden sword to avoid suffering.

The merit Golden Immortal did not enter the God roll in the end, all because of his deep luck...

He had used the Dao of Static Shield to make that old immortal suspect his refining skills. Is this... not quite right...

However, Li Changshou could not explain that. He only knew a little. It was not the reincarnation of the Great Immortal Faraday or the reincarnation of Golden Immortal Schrödinger. “Forget it!”

Yun Zhongzi chuckled and looked slightly disappointed. He carried the flower basket and flew towards the clouds. He kept shaking his head and sighing as he left.

In fact, at that moment, Yun Zhongzi was protecting Li Changshou when he said that he could not understand the principles behind the item and that it could not be replicated. He also said that he owed Li Changshou a favor and protected Li Changshou. The immortals would not continue to make things difficult for him...

However, it was far from enough for Li Changshou.

As soon as Yun Zhongzi left, Li Changshou let out a sigh and summoned the two cages. He grabbed the cages and sighed. “Everything happened because of you. I’ve disappointed all of you. It’s my mistake.”

aus

As he spoke, the Dharma powers in his hands surged. The two birdcages exploded at the same time.

The surrounding immortals did not expect him to do that. However, Li Changshou attacked too quickly. No matter how high their cultivation level was, they could not stop him in time.

Ji Wuyou shouted, “Ah! You can’t do that! Just use it yourself!” “Changshou, don’t destroy this treasure!” “This!”

“Changshou!”

Li Changshou’s expression was determined. He casually threw out dozens of talismans and spewed out flames that filled the sky. In the blink of an eye, it engulfed the scattered parts of the birdcage...

After a while, there were only some ashes left on the ground.

The two cages that were originally not even worth a hundred Spirit Stones were destroyed and turned into ashes that drifted in the wind with the shake of Li Changshou’s hand...

There were no traces left behind.

Li Changshou bowed to all the seniors and said, “I have offended you just now. Please do not blame me. I’m not in a stable state of mind, so I’ll meditate for now.”

Then, he returned to Xiong Lingli’s side and closed his eyes to focus. He tried his best to conceal his aura and deal with the immortal senses that were inspecting him.

On the other side, the five Sect Leaders of the immortal sects of Ren School looked awkward. They wanted to move forward but could not. Instead, they went to Ji Wuyou’s side.

“Junior Brother Wuyou, sorry for offending you this time.” The old woman took out two storage Dharma treasures and handed them over using her immortal power. “Take this as an apology gift for you, young disciple.”

“We just want to observe a little. We have never thought of destroying the item that you are going to use for transcending your tribulation. These treasures can be considered as compensation for you.”

“Junior Brother Wuyou, please bring Disciple-Nephew Changshou to the Carefree Immortal Sect as a guest later.”

“There are two of them here. Although they can’t compare to the cage, they can be used to make up for it.”

Ji Wuyou did not reject the offer. He frowned and accepted all the gifts on Li Changshou’s behalf.

The five sect leaders of the Human Sect Immortal Sect did not stay any longer. They apologized and left in a hurry...

Li Changshou felt that his immortal senses were being extracted rapidly. He heaved a sigh of relief.

If that was the case, there would not be too many hidden dangers in the Faraday Cage. However, he could not let his guard down.

When Uncle-Master Jiu Wu sent the compensation gifts from the five Sect Leaders over, Li Changshou also frowned and accepted them. He lowered his head and sighed...

Acting was all about staying in character from the start to the end. At this moment, he had to put on an expression that suggested that he had suffered a huge loss.

In reality... All of a sudden, his wealth increased. Just now, in the treasure bottle, Senior Yun Zhongzi had given him more than ten numinous treasures, as well as a Postnatal-level... little trinket.

They were all goods that Yun Zhongzi had refined and usually gave to others.

Compared to the treasures refined by Yun Zhongzi, the Sect Leaders’ tokens of compensation were naturally inferior. However, the two Dharma treasures that could protect the essence soul during the Heavenly Tribulation were very rare.

Lingle’s Tribulation Transcendence gift bag instantly became heftier...

Huh?

A wave suddenly surged in his heart, and it seemed to have come from the South Ocean Sea God Temple.

A portion of Li Changshou’s attention landed on the statues of the main Gods in the Sea God Temple. Immediately, he “saw” a familiar, burly figure walking towards him

Why is Master Zhao here again?

It was not just Master Zhao. He arrived with a young girl and kept saying, “Little sister, listen to me. This Sea God is wise. If he agrees, I will teach you a technique where if you hit someone they will not dare to say anything after you do!”
