My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 267 Take Care, Old Friends

Where did Senior Brother go all these years?

In the straw hut, Ling’e sat in front of the glass mirror and quietly combed her long hair. It was the second day after Li Changshou returned to the sect.

Yesterday, she saw her senior brother’s paper effigy going out and returning quickly. When she heard her senior brother’s voice transmission, her heart finally calmed down. However, she began to feel puzzled.

If he had become Dao companions with someone else in the past twelve years, he might have three or four children now!

However, if she asked her senior brother that question, she would make her senior brother feel that she was interfering too much, thus causing him to distance himself from her...

Ling’e pursed her lips and thought about it. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

No!

I still have to try and sound Senior Brother out!

Yes, no matter what... she would treat Senior Brother’s children as her own!

After making up her mind, Ling’e immediately got busy. She carefully dressed herself in the mirror, but tried her best to prevent others from seeing that she was dolled up. She put on some blush, tied up her hair, and pursed her red lips. Not long after, she dressed up in vibrant clothes and looked as beautiful as usual.

She carried the dishes that she had prepared and hummed the tune that she had written recently. Ling’e rode a cloud and slowly drifted towards the Pill Chamber. When she arrived at the border of the array formation, the array formation outside the Pill Chamber was automatically unlocked. However, a voice transmission entered Ling’e’s ears.

“If there’s nothing important, we’ll meet again in half a month. I’m stabilizing my realm.”

Ling’e blinked when she heard that. She wanted to say something but hesitated. She quickly said, “Senior Brother, go ahead. I just wanted to welcome you!” Li Changshou chuckled and said, “Are you really just welcoming me?” “This...”

Ling’e immediately played dumb and chuckled. Since she did not dare to lie, she could only pretend to be stunned. However, Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “I’m going out for serious matters this time.” “Oh.” Ling’e heaved a sigh of relief. Her senior brother seemed to have seen through her thoughts and gave her such an answer.

He meant that he was not busy with something else other than the important matters...

That’s right. With Senior Brother’s troublesome personality, his heart can’t be won in just twelve years!

“Senior Brother, I’ll go and give the food to Master.”

“Go.” Li Changshou’s voice sounded. The array formation outside the Pill Chamber was slowly activated again. Li Changshou’s stared at Ling’e’s back with his immortal senses as she left. He tapped his fingers on the table and continued to think about a huge problem... Taibai Jinxing, Taibai Jinxing.

His alias actually corresponded to the old courtesan in the Heavenly Courts!

At that moment, Li Changshou was really at a loss for words. He kept repeating that sentence... I am the head of the Heavenly Courts’ officials. I am trusted by the Jade Emperor. You’ve been beaten by a monkey. I am from Ren School and am familiar with the Great Daoist Master. I have also obtained the mystical Dao of alchemy from the Elder Lord.” You’ve been beaten by a monkey.

I...

You’ve been beaten by a monkey. Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

I have a vulgarity that I don’t know if I should say.

He spent about three days adjusting his mentality and accepted the matter with an apprehensive attitude. “There’s nothing to be happy about.” Knowing that he might become Taibai Jinxing in the future Heavenly Courts did not mean that he could safely pass the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. It could not be said that he could rest easy in the future...

Firstly, he could not rule out the possibility that if something happened to him during the God-Conferment Tribulation, the Saint would casually create a Dharma treasure person to fill the gap. Secondly, it was not a good thing to become the number one minister of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts. There were two sides to everything. The Dao Sect could prosper and then decline. Even the Heavenly Courts could not escape that theorem. Although the Heavenly Courts had yet to rise, he still had to think further... The Heavenly Courts would give him merit because he worked for the Heavenly Courts. After that, they would not owe each other anything. That was the ideal situation that Li Changshou was pursuing. Also... The joke that he had heard in his previous life – a young man had gone for a divination. The fortune-teller had said that he would be able to live to 80 years old. Then, he lived aimlessly to 80 years old with paraplegia. Although it was a joke, the logic was very profound. If he wanted to live forever, he had to live forever healthily. It was the most important thing to avoid the Great God-Conferment Tribulation safely!

He sighed and thought, ‘I might as well pretend that I don’t know about this. This will definitely affect my judgment of some things in the future.’

Li Changshou pondered for a long time.

To be safe, he decided to do something terrible to himself...

After spending a few days, he figured out a simple Dharma spell and temporarily sealed his memories of ‘Taibai Jinxing Changgeng’ with a restriction technique!

If he heard the words ‘Taibai Jinxing’in the future, that portion of his memories would be unlocked

Furthermore, he had kept some of his “memories” sealed. He could take the initiative to recall that matter at any time...

After reaching the Golden Immortal realm, he could already figure out some simple Dharma spells. Li Changshou took out a piece of cloth and began to plan his cultivation. In the next hundred years, most of his attention would be focused on his main body. He would quietly comprehend the Dao and experience the mysterious Dao Realm. Everything else would be monitored and observed.

Although he had become a Golden Immortal, he still could not fight against the disciples of the Western Sect Saints, Daoist Wen Jing, and Jin Chanzi.

The difference was still huge.

Li Changshou knew that.

After reaching the Golden Immortal realm, cultivation would become slow and boring. He would have a long lifespan, and he would need a long time to experience his own Great Dao... Li Changshou’s concept of time changed again. In the blink of an eye, half a month passed quietly.

On the day that he agreed to meet Ling’e, Li Changshou specially freed up half a day to call Ling’e and Xiong Lingli to his straw hut by the lake to lecture Ling’e. Xiong Lingli was purely sitting in for lessons. Ling’e stared at Li Changshou for a while. Her nose twitched slightly as she muttered, “Senior Brother, why do I feel that you’re different from before?” Li Changshou nodded with a smile and said, “How am I different?”

“Well... I can’t tell you the specifics.” Ling’e pursed her lips and muttered softly. She could only blink. Li Changshou said warmly, “Sit down. I’ll tell you about Immortal Ascension.” Ling’e frowned slightly. Senior Brother is indeed different...

He has never been so gentle to me before! There must be a problem! However, Li Changshou’s next sentence was, “Regarding the matter of you neglecting your cultivation, I will punish you by making you copy the sutras later. This time, you will start by copying a thousand times and reach the top of copying it ten thousand times. Don’t worry.” Ling’e giggled when she heard that. She immediately calmed down.

This is what Senior Brother is like!

At that moment, Li Changshou had given Ling’e pointers on the Dao of Immortal Ascension. He had a different understanding of it. He made improvements to the old logic. He also had a faint insight.

Look at him.

He was talking about the Grand Pure One and the True Intent of Inaction.

Not long after, two lotus flowers appeared around Li Changshou. One of them entered Ling’e’s body, while the other entered Xiong Lingli’s body. Both of them were pulled into the Dao Enlightenment realm. That was a Dao-imparting technique. It could be considered an ability that only those who had reached the Golden Immortal realm could have.

Back then, when the Dao Ancestor of the Purple Cloud Palace preached the Dao, most of the powerful living beings in the world had gathered in one hall. When the Dao Ancestor preached the Dao, there were lotus flowers. Each lotus flower carried a Great Dao.

The three lectures of the Purple Cloud Palace were the best opportunities in the Primordial World in the past. From then on, the Essence Soul Dao had established its “rule”. Apart from the Magi, there were almost no physical cultivators.

The lotus flower that appeared when Li Changshou was preaching naturally could not be compared to those during the Dao preachings of the Purple Cloud Palace’s Dao Ancestor.

What was contained in the lotus flower was only his understanding of the Dao. He taught it to Ling’e and Xiong Lingli in a complete manner, so that they could slowly comprehend it in the future.

That lotus flower was enough to benefit Ling’e and let her advance to the Perfected Immortal realm!

Seeing that Ling’e and Xiong Lingli were already in seclusion in his straw hut, Li Changshou set up a two-layered immortal power barrier that corresponded to the strength of an Essence Immortal. He stood up and left the straw hut.

He went to the spiritual beast enclosure to take a look at the growth of the spiritual beasts. Then, he went to the back mountain to visit the meritorious trees of the Little Qiong Peak.

Sigh... It could be said that without the efforts of each generation of the spiritual trees, Li Changshou would not be where he was today!

In order to express his respect for them, Li Changshou decided to make the batch of spiritual trees retire in advance. He pulled them up, burned them with the True Samadhi Flames, and personally scattered their ashes. He had no choice. They knew too much.

Li Changshou felt much better as he looked at the ashes dancing in the sky... Due to the fact that his main body had not been out for a long time, he did not have many chances to personally scatter the ashes.

However, Li Changshou planned to go to a suitable place and plan to obtain some numinous treasures to protect himself next. Naturally, he could not avoid letting the paper effigy fight with the other Qi Refinement cultivators.

As for scattering ashes, that was a necessary method to sever karma when he was fighting. It was not possible for his main body to go out to search for treasures. It would be a small mistake that leads to greater losses. Furthermore, he now had the Dao of alchemy that the Elder Lord had taught him. It would not be a problem for him to become an alchemy master of his generation. Although he could not exchange for a truly precious numinous treasure with money, he could accumulate more and cause a qualitative change. Looking at the smoke, Li Changshou mumbled, “Take care, old friends.”

At the same time, I should get some high-level spiritual trees that can provide tree sap of better quality.

After he upgraded all kinds of escape techniques, he would try to improve the paper effigy mystical ability. He thought that although it was impossible to create a paper effigy incarnation of the Golden Immortal realm, he should be able to improve the quality of the paper effigies... Due to the fact that his immortal power could no longer be compared to before, the paper effigy’s overall strength could probably reach the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm with the support of the Golden Immortal realm’s immortal power.

If there were more of them, it would be considered a considerable amount of combat power.

Together with the mystical ability of casting beans that turn into soldiers, the number of bean soldiers that a paper effigy could summon at once would increase by several times.

It was no longer a far-fetched dream for the paper effigy to go against a Golden Immortal! However, if the Jade Emperor really let his incarnation bring 100,000 bean soldiers to fight everywhere... The price would be different...

Li Changshou took a stroll in the mountains for another hour. Just as he was about to return to the Pill Chamber, the bell in the Immortal Du Sect suddenly rang. The Sect Leader had gathered the Peak Leaders of the various peaks to discuss matters in the Immortal Du Hall.

Li Changshou soon saw his master rushing out of the straw hut with weary eyes. He held his Daoist robe and touched his beard as he hurriedly rode a cloud towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

I wonder how long Master slept...

After one or two years, Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu’s reincarnation will return. Master should become more energized then.

The purpose of gathering all the Peak Leaders should be to discuss the opening ceremony.

Later, he would have to remind his master not to let his master take in a disciple on a whim.

His immortal senses slowly extended in the sect. Li Changshou heard the whispers of a few patrolling disciples... “The Immortal Du Sect now has three Golden Immortals. I wonder which of the three Golden Immortals has stronger mystical abilities.”

“Of course it’s the Sect Leader! How many years has it been since the Sect Leader became a Golden Immortal?” “Elder Qi Ling is from the ancient divine beast lineage...” “That’s not necessarily true. I keep feeling that Exalted Wang Qing’s mystical abilities are the most powerful. Moreover, I heard that after he became a Golden Immortal, he quickly broke through his realm again.” “Let’s not talk about that. Let’s patrol the mountain and think about how we can break through the Immortal Ascension Tribulation!” That voice disappeared with the wind...

Li Changshou smiled calmly and disappeared.

A few days later, Li Changshou went to the Lingxiao Hall to pay a visit to the Jade Emperor. He rushed to the Hall of Enlightenment and looked at the decree that was about to be formed. In about half a year, the decree would be successfully condensed and the dragon race would be given some low-level Deity Positions.

The candidates for the Deity Position were naturally provided by the dragon race.

However, Li Changshou really had a headache about how to reward him.

During this process, he had to highlight the dignity of the Heavenly Courts and let the dragon race know that it was not easy to obtain the Heavenly Courts’ Deity Positions. He had to seize the opportunity to gain the dragon race’s favor...

After staying in the sect safely for half a year, Li Changshou had been thinking about the matter while comprehending the Great Dao and the Dao of alchemy. He had finally come up with a plan. With the principle of letting the Jade Emperor participate in everything, Li Changshou drew up a memorial for the Jade Emperor to take a look.

After receiving the Jade Emperor’s permission, Li Changshou went to the Hall of Enlightenment to collect five thousand elite Heavenly Soldiers. Later, he would go with him to issue a decree and express his gratitude. Next, before Li Changshou could take the initiative to contact Ao Yi, Ao Yi had already sent an invitation via spiritual will communication. The two of them had just set up the communication through the statue when Ao Yi shouted happily...

“Brother Sect Master!”

“Why are you so happy? Is there something joyous?”

“Yes!” Ao Yi hurriedly nodded and hesitated. Finally, he said softly, “Actually, I can’t say it.”

“Do you need to be so polite with me?” “That’s right. Brother, your friend is my friend.” Ao Yi’s face was filled with excitement as he said, “My mother has another thought. She wants to give me a younger brother or sister!”

Li Changshou’s eyes lit up.

Is Ao Bing going to be born?

Li Changshou coughed and smiled. “Congratulations, congratulations... Is it troublesome for the Dragon King to have children?”

“That’s right.” Ao Yi sighed and said, “It’s mainly because of the negative karma. Although Mother has already developed the idea and Father has the same thoughts, they might take some time to get to it.”

“Let’s not worry about this. I have good news for you. The Heavenly Courts’ decree has been consolidated. I have already obtained it.” “Really?!”

Ao Yi immediately grinned. “Brother Sect Master, I’ll get Father to prepare now! We must celebrate this time!” “There’s no hurry. I’ve thought of a better idea. It can help the dragon race stabilize the situation and strengthen the relationship between the dragon race and the Heavenly Courts. It can also allow the Jade Emperor to bestow more Deity Positions in the future.” “Brother, please enlighten me!”

And so on.

The spiritual will space was hazy. Two figures stopped in it. After a long discussion, Ao Yi finally left excitedly.

At the same time, at the border of the North Continent,a black leopard that was covered in wounds, ran in the forest for a while and finally arrived at an unfamiliar lake. It transformed into a human and lay in the lake in a sorry state, panting heavily. Wisps of spiritual energy in the water quickly entered his wounds and healed them. It was really too difficult to be a demon. After the rhinoceros king was killed, he joined a small demonic faction. This time, he simply pretended to be a mute.

However, he did not expect that he would be attacked a few days ago... What’s wrong with me?

Do I lack luck and merit? Or did I do all sorts of bad things in my previous life?

I have been cultivating for so many years since I gained sentience, but I did not dare to have any negative karma. Why does the heavens treat me like this?

“Ah...”

Lord Leopard sighed softly. His heart was dead silent. He sighed and said, “Instead of that, why don’t you let me die here? It’s better than being tortured in the future.”

Just as he finished speaking, a few whirlpools appeared in the lake beside him. A rather pretty water demon appeared and sized him up curiously.

Then, she dragged him back to the Cave Abode and took good care of him, forcing them to become husband and wife...
