My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 204 Grandmaster, This Is As Far As I Can Help You

“General Dongmu, you must send this memorial to His Majesty. You must not leave it behind or let others know.”

In the Sea God Temple on the day before the painting appraisal of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou reminded the Heavenly Courts Express courier in front of him.

The memorial mentioned the arrangements of the Western Sect. It was important and could not be faulted.

Li Changshou pondered for a while before deciding to tell the Jade Emperor about the details. He also hinted to the Jade Emperor that he had already devised a scheme and planted a pawn in the Western Sect.

Moreover, that hidden chess pawn could serve the Jade Emperor in the future...

It was the first time that General Dongmu saw the Sea God’s serious expression. He did not dare to be careless. He solemnly agreed and sealed the scroll and memorial repeatedly. After settling the important matters, Li Changshou smiled and changed the topic. Suddenly... he became frivolous.

“General Dongmu... I have a small matter that I would like to trouble you to investigate.”

General Dongmu’s eyes lit up. He immediately took half a step forward. He almost could not control himself and pulled the hand of the Sea God in front of him.

The Sea God had invited him!

If he had a request for the Heavenly Courts, the Jade Emperor had instructed them long ago to give whatever they could!

If there were any personal matters, General Dongmu could not wait to return the favor that he owed the Sea God and improve his relationship with the Sea God! “Speak! Sea God, quickly tell me! Why not? Your Sea God’s matter is my business!”

Why are you so excited...

Li Changshou calmed himself down and smiled. “Actually, I’ve been studying two types of pills recently. I’ve searched through the manuals of Ren School, but there are no records of these two types of pills General Dongmu, have you ever heard of any spirit herbs that could have the effect of Elder Moon’s Acacia Tree? What kind of spirit herbs that are not precious has the effect of restoring an immortal body?”

Li Changshou sighed.

In fact, he only wanted to find spirit herbs that could “reconstruct an immortal body”. However, to be safe, he specially mentioned treasures like the Acacia Tree, which could easily cause people to misunderstand and be interested in them. That provided a smokescreen for him.

The existing pills that had similar effects to the Acacia Tree were the Ambition Pill and Flame of Heart. They were temporarily enough.

Upon hearing the Sea God’s words, General Dongmu was also stunned. He could not help but think for a while and quickly answered, “I have heard of a few treasures that can restore an immortal body, such as the Eight Treasures Heart Lotus in the Jade Pool. However, that lotus flower is something that the Queen Mother loves. Its effect is to revive the dead. If it’s just to restore the immortal body, it would be a little too powerful.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “General Dongmu, I want to develop a type of medicinal pill. It’s not just one or two pills. I don’t dare to use such a valuable treasure.”

“When I send the memorial over, I will investigate and ask about it.”

General Dongmu wanted to say something but hesitated. He gave Li Changshou a meaningful smile and bowed to Li Changshou before leaving hurriedly. He must have misunderstood something, although Li Changshou had deliberately made him misunderstand something...

After leaving the Sea God Temple, General Dongmu immediately hid his tracks. After finding an empty corner, Duke Eastwood used the ‘hidden’ mystical ability that he had just cultivated over the past two years. Then, he used his immortal senses to search every corner and discovered that there were no suspicious figures within a radius of thousands of kilometers. With a whoosh, he soared into the sky and charged towards the South-Heaven Gate at full speed! The South Continent was filled with fish and dragons. It was a dangerous place in the Primordial World. General Dongmu had experienced all of that before.

If he were to run a little slower, two powerhouses might suddenly appear. They shouted before collapsing in front of him!

He would never want to experience such a thing again!

Another safe return.

When he arrived at the South-Heaven Gate, General Dongmu heaved a sigh of relief. He revealed his figure and returned to his usual calm self before flying into the Heaven Gate.

The Heavenly troops guarding the Great Barrier bowed in unison.

General Dongmu nodded and entered without saying anything.

A colorful sword was hanging above the South-Heaven Gate.

The sword was called the Evil Spirit Executioner Heavenly Sword. It was refined by the Jade Emperor using the merit of the Heavenly Courts. There were a total of five swords that were at the five Heavenly Gates, which merged with the Heavenly Courts’ array formation.

If someone pretended to be a righteous god of the Heavenly Courts and sneaked into the South-Heaven Gate, the five swords would be able to distinguish them and slash down.

Even a Golden Immortal would be severely injured there!

After entering the South-Heaven Gate and taking the Dao Enlightenment Hall, General Dongmu flew for quite a while before arriving at Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Arriving in front of the Jade Emperor, Duke Eastwood presented Li Changshou’s memorial and stood below the platform. He lowered his head and waited for the Jade Emperor to speak.

This time, the Jade Emperor’s reaction was as expected. He laughed and praised the Sea God. Then, he sighed softly and pondered for a long time.

Every time His Majesty looked at the Sea God’s memorial, he would go through almost the same routine.

“General Dongmu,” said the white-robed young man on the platform, who was smiling. “Go to the Heavenly Court’s troops immediately and select forty thousand elite Heavenly Soldiers. You must train hard in battle formations and not slack off in the next ten years.”

“Yes!”

The Jade Emperor nodded slowly and smiled. “Did Guest Changgeng tell you anything else this time?”

General Dongmu did not hesitate and repeated the conversation he had with the Sea God.

The Jade Emperor’s attention was immediately diverted...

“The medicinal effect was similar to that of the Acacia Tree Tree? Hmm?”

The Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and revealed a look of enlightenment.

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Guest Changgeng is really scheming. Even if it’s a marriage between a man and a woman, he can still make a big fuss about it. He’s indeed impressive. If I can obtain this person’s help, I would really be favored by the Grand Pure One. Haha, hahaha.”

General Dongmu lowered his head and said, “Your Majesty, you really have great insights. I thought that the Sea God was refining this type of pill for his own use and hence I did not consider it deeply.”

“Guest Changgeng is not like that.” The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, “Go and deploy the troops first. General Dongmu, you will then go to the Elder Moon Hall and give Elder Moon more merit. Let him take a Spirit Root of the Acacia Tree and give it to Guest Changgeng.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Ah... It’s easier said than done.”

In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou shook his head and sighed. He continued to guard the Pill Furnace and refine pills.

Li Changshou’s immortal senses captured Ling’e, who had been working on needlework for three days and two nights. She carried a few brand-new dresses and went to Grandmaster’s straw hut...

Li Changshou had personally designed the inner blouses for Ling’e to sew them carefully.

They could only be considered ordinary Dharma treasures, and their defensive effects were not good. However, they had used double the restrictions when it came to isolating the immortal senses!

It was to ensure that others could not see through the mystery of the clothes with their immortal senses and vision.

Some parts of the clothes were thicker by several layers...

Soon, a wave of admiration came from the straw hut. Jiang Lin’er immediately made her move and set up several layers of immortal power boundaries.

Li Changshou immediately retracted his immortal senses and did not offend him.

Not long after, Jiang Lin’er walked out proudly with her head held high and chest puffed out.

This time, it was not going to go smoothly...

Ling’e could not help but support her forehead with one hand. She wanted to persuade her Grandmaster to keep a low profile, but she could not bring herself to say that.

“Grandmaster, how about I make a few more for you?”

“Yes! Go! i’ll stroll around the mountain! Thank you, Little Ling’e!”

Then, Jiang Lin’er walked forward with her hands behind her back.

She first went to old Daoist Qi Yuan’s straw hut and circled around to lecture her second disciple. Qi Yuan was stunned by the scolding. However, he could only lower his head and listen to the lecture. He did not dare to look up at his master.

Jiang Lin’er rolled her eyes and went to the Pill Chamber to take a look. She looked at Li Changshou proudly.

Although that rule of law did not treat the root of the problem, it still managed to pull their little grandmaster back a little.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Grandmaster’s long dress is very suitable. Her temperament is outstanding.”

Jiang Lin’er smiled and said, “Did you come up with this idea? I heard about it from Ling’e.”

“This... is just a temporary solution.” “Yes, you did well this time. Thank you, Grandmaster!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“Don’t be so reserved. Didn’t we talk about it last time? I treat you as my brother. You treat me as your Grandmaster. Let’s discuss our own matters!”

Jiang Lin’er jumped over with her hands behind her back and looked at Li Changshou’s Pill Furnace. She softly praised, “Your Pill Furnace is not bad.”

“It was a reward from Elder Wan Linyun.”

“Oh?” Jiang Lin’er coughed and said in a low voice, “Changshou, can you help me design a few pieces of armor? There’s something that’s a little loose here.”

Li Changshou thought for a while and smiled. “In the mortal world, I have seen some female generals wearing such armor. This is easy to make.” “I’ll leave this matter to you!” Jiang Lin’er patted Li Changshou’s shoulder and squinted. She asked, “What are your plans for this painting exhibition?”

“Grandmaster, please take a look.” Li Changshou pointed to the side. One by one, the portraits flew out and piled up into a small mountain. “I’ll hang them in front of the straw hut later.”

Jiang Lin’er nodded. “Yes, you don’t have to be too careful. You can just do whatever you want. Who else did you invite?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I haven’t decided yet. Let’s see who’s fated to pass by here. Come in and take a look.”

“Is that so?” Jiang Lin’er rolled her eyes but did not say anything else. She picked up a portrait and opened it to take a look. Soon, she sighed softly.

“You have such abilities? It’s really not easy.” Li Changshou smiled and did not reply Jiang Lin’er left the Pill Chamber very quickly. When she left, her steps were still very light.

After Li Changshou finished refining that batch of poisonous pills, he went to the straw hut and began to set it up. He hung up the paintings he had painted over the years. All of them were paintings of mountains and rivers. There was not a single portrait of a person.

Li Changshou was also worried that one of the people he had drawn would suddenly appear in front of the paper effigy in the future and reveal some flaws...

He naturally would not ignore such small details.

On the second day, Li Changshou had already set up a simple maze and isolation array in the open space in front of the straw hut by the lake.

Jiang Lin’er was invited into the array formation by Li Changshou.

After a while, Exalted Wang Qing came as promised.

Li Changshou bowed and handed over a bamboo stick without a trace.

He then said, “Exalted Wang Qing, this is given to you by Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. Uncle-Master Jiu Wu was afraid that you would feel awkward, so he did not dare to give it to you. There are eighteen conversation topics and some jokes in here. If you both fall silent and not know what to say, just take a random look at it. Every topic should be something my Grandmaster is interested in.”

Exalted Wang Qing raised his eyebrows and calmly put the bamboo stick into her sleeve. She casually took out two treasure pouches and gave them to Li Changshou. Then, she entered the bewitching array art exhibition expressionlessly.

There were two neat piles of spirit stones in the treasure pouch. They were of excellent quality and were very valuable.

Li Changshou walked to the side with a smile and handed the two treasures to Ling’e and Xiong Lingli.

He said, “Let’s begin.”

Then, Ling’e lowered her head and played the zither. The two paper effigies that Lingle made began to play the flute.

However, the moment the music started, Li Changshou immediately shouted for it to stop. He took out a music score and handed it to Ling’e. “Play this.”

“Senior Brother, did you compose a new song again?”

Ling’e’s eyes lit up. She immediately opened the music score and looked at it.

She muttered softly, “Should I play ‘Rivaling Love Birds’? Hmm, it’s not difficult to get the tune right...”

“Go ahead.”

Li Changshou nodded with a smile and walked to the lake with his hands behind his back. He placed a cushion under the willow tree and sat down comfortably.

Soon, there was a cheerful sound behind him. Li Changshou hummed a familiar tune in his heart and tapped his knee gently. The two figures in the “Art Exhibition” bewitching array finally started chatting and laughing today. However, eighteen bamboo sticks did not seem to be enough. In the blink of an eye, Exalted Wang Qing used three of them...

At the same time, on Mount E’mei in the Middle Continent, in a certain Cave Abode in the secluded place in the back mountain of the Grotto-heaven where immortal light lingered, the mighty male immortal sitting on a lotus platform suddenly opened his eyes.

He frowned and pinched his fingers to calculate. Very quickly, he pinched his beard and let out a soft moan...

“That’s strange. Why is it related to me and Chan School?”

He was naturally Master Zhao, the eldest disciple of the outer sect, Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming pondered for a while. However, he was unable to figure out the specifics.

That was not a warning from his teacher. It was just a sudden impulse when he was comprehending the Great Dao...

However, in Zhao Gongming’s realm where he had accumulated a long period of cultivation, his deduction technique could be considered powerful although it was not wonderful.

Zhao Gongming quickly deduced which direction that matter would take—the intersection between the South Ocean and the West Ocean.

Zhao Gongming did not dare to be careless when it concerned the matter of preaching. After all, the tension between the three sects had just eased.

Then, he quietly left the Cave Abode, hid his aura, and traveled. He secretly rushed to the West Ocean and headed south.

Half a day later, Zhao Gongming began to search the vast ocean. After spending some effort, he finally found a hidden array.

When he got close to the array formation, Zhao Gongming could sense the fluctuations of technical fights.

What is going on?

Zhao Gongming raised the two Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and let the two pearls carry Yin and Yang Qi around him. They quietly formed a hole on the array formation and looked inside.

Zhao Gongming could not help but laugh when he saw that. Then, he flew into a rage!

There were three Daoists there. Two of them were in the same group. Zhao Gongming had some impressions of them. They seemed to be experts from the Western Sect whom he and Sister Qiong Xiao had met in the Aparagodānīya Continent!

One of them fell to the ground, while the other cursed at the other old Daoist priest.

Do I have to apply what I learned?

The old Daoist priest who had been scammed was stunned. He remained standing, at a loss.

“This poor person seems to be... Senior Brother Yellow Dragon?”

Zhao Gongming did not hesitate. He immediately rushed into the array formation and shouted loudly. The twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls shone brightly! He dared to use the special technique that his Brother Sea God had developed for Zhao Gongming to bully the experts of the Dao Sect!

It was simply over!
