My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 98 I’ll Treat Your Disciple Well

Did I really expose my cultivation level?

When Li Changshou flew towards the Immortal Du Hall on a cloud, he kept thinking about that problem.

Now, because of the matter regarding the South Ocean Sect and the fact that he might have been careless and faced Daoist Wen head-on for a while...

The cultivation level that I had hidden is no longer as simple as a trump card.

This directly concerns my life!

Li Changshou had put in a lot of effort into learning the “unorthodox” ‘Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra’.

In the beginning, he had analyzed all kinds of cultivation techniques and summed them up in reverse. He had also made a summary of the various techniques of hiding one’s aura, that existed in the Immortal Du Sect. He had also figured out a way to hide his aura...

Before he transcended the tribulation, that technique had already been improved dozens of times. After Li Changshou became an immortal, that technique was upgraded to the same level as the escape technique!

However, Li Changshou felt a little uncertain about facing a Golden Immortal who had been living for an unknown amount of time...

I can only have two strings to my bow. If the Sect Leader is testing me on purpose, I can use the third backup plan.

The so-called backup plan was to prove his innocence immediately.

He would immediately prove that he was not a spy of the enemy or an otherworldly demon and that he was a true disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. However, due to coincidences, his cultivation speed was a little faster. Thus, he had accidentally advanced during the Tribulation Transcendence... He landed in front of the magnificent hall and looked at it.

Li Changshou calmed himself down, retracted his immortal senses, and stabilized his aura at the eighth-stage of the Void Return realm. He then entered.

As soon as he entered the hall, he heard a faint voice transmission.

“Ahem, ahem... Li Changshou, the disciple from Little Qiong Peak? Don’t say anything. Just nod.”

Li Changshou nodded gently and remained composed.

The voice transmission continued, “Come to the left. There’s a small door at the corner of the hall. Come in. Don’t be nervous. I am the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect. I called you over because I wanted to tell you about something trivial.”

*Coughs*

Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Let’s not talk about the rest first. Why does the Sect Leader sound so sick in the voice transmission?

Li Changshou lowered his head and walked quickly to the somewhat empty main hall of the sect. He headed towards the left corner of the main hall and soon arrived in front of the two wooden doors.

He stood there for a while. When he heard the Sect Master’s voice again, he gently pushed open the wooden door...

There was a simple and elegant tea room inside. There were a few tables and chairs, and two open windows which revealed the beautiful scenery of Cloud Peak Island.

Li Changshou was not in the mood to appreciate those things. He raised his head and looked at the young Daoist who was seated in front of the window.

He was the Sect Leader and the in-name disciple of the in-name disciple of the Grand Pure One...

His name was Ji Wuyou.

His face was like a jade crown, his eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. He was handsome and suave. There was no need to mention too much about his appearance.

Normally, a male Qi Refinement cultivator who maintained the appearance of a middle-aged or young man would not be too ugly if it were not for his or his Dao companion’s special preferences.

The Sect Leader’s smile was gentle, and his temperament was elegant. He gave off a gentle and elegant vibe... However, that was not the point.

The point was...

The Golden Immortal Sect Leader’s face was pale, his aura was weak, and his eyes were out of focus. Although he was tall and taut, he seemed a little haggard and weak.

If he did not know that the Sect Leader Ji Wuyou’s Dao name was ‘Wuyou’, and was known as ‘Sect Leader Wuyou’ in the East Continent, Li Changshou would have given him a nickname in his head- ‘Empty Young Master of the Primordial World’.

When the Sect Leader saw Li Changshou, he smiled. A streak of immortal blood actually flowed from the corner of his mouth...

Li Changshou was shocked as well. “Sect Leader!”

“It’s just a small problem. There’s no need to worry. I’ve just suffered some injuries to my Essence Soul. I’ve already consumed some Spirit Pills with healing purposes.”

The Sect Leader Ji Wuyou wiped the corners of his mouth before taking a deep breath gently. He stabilized his injuries and said, “I will be able to recover from this minor injury in a while. You’re Changshou, right? Take this... I’ve been waiting for you for a few days just to give this to you.”

This Sect Leader Ji Wuyou took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and gently pushed it towards Li Changshou. Li Changshou lowered his head and held it with both hands.

At that moment, Li Changshou felt rather emotional.

My Sect Leader has sustained so many injuries for the sake of protecting the Immortal Du Sect! Yet, I previously commented that the Sect Leader’s mystical abilities are too weak, and said that he wasn’t competent enough. I really... Li Changshou sighed.

Li Changshou felt ashamed. He felt grateful towards the Sect Leader who was desperately protecting the sect.

“Sect Leader, you are injured. Please go into seclusion soon to recuperate. It has been hard on you. You fought against the demons from outside in order to protect the sect.”

“It’s just a trivial matter.”

Ji Wuyou laughed, looking a little awkward. He sighed and said, “Actually, a few days ago, I obtained a mystical ability from the founder of the sect, which allows me to nurture Connate Qi... I have been trying to cultivate these few days but I was too anxious and accidentally injured my Essence Soul. Haha...”

Ji Wuyou coughed.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“Changshou.”

Ji Wuyou calmly wiped the blood away from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the porcelain bottle in Li Changshou’s hand. His gaze was slightly hesitant, but he still spoke tactfully.

“The thing in your hand must be kept properly. Do you know that the Immortal Du Sect’s founder who is also my Master, is Perfected Du’e who belongs to the Ren School and is the Pure Virtue Immortal God of the Kunlun Mountain?”

He continued, “This porcelain bottle is from a senior of the Ren School. He entrusted the founder *cough*... to pass it to you. He claimed that he wants to sever some karma with you. I can’t say much about this. However, this is also your fate. The Spirit Pills inside must be used properly.” Do you understand?”

Li Changshou was suddenly enlightened. He lowered his head and said, “I understand.”

“Go. Just remember this. Your cultivation level and aptitude are not bad. When you transcend the tribulation and become an immortal, you can cultivate in peace in the sect.”

Ji Wuyou waved his hand. Li Changshou bowed and accepted the order before leaving the house.

Before he could close the door completely, Li Changshou heard some violent coughing and puffing which seemed to be the sound of blood spurting out...

The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched. He closed the wooden doors and pretended not to hear anything. Then, he turned around and walked towards the door.

The Sect Leader’s last sentence was actually to calm him down.

Every 200 years, the Immortal Du Sect would recruit a batch of disciples. Before they recruited the next batch of disciples, they would give them a choice. They could either continue to stay in the sect or go out to cultivate and explore the outside world.

What the sect leader meant was—as long as Li Changshou cultivated in peace and survived the Immortal Ascension Tribulation in the future, the treatment he received in the sect would not be too poor. After leaving the hall, Li Changshou felt much more at ease.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

His cultivation level was not exposed. As the Sect Leader of the sect, Ji Wuyou paid special attention to Li Changshou, a disciple of Little Qiong Peak, only because of the porcelain bottle in his hand.

If he had guessed correctly, the bottle was given by the Great Daoist Master Xuandu.

The karma that he wanted to sever was related to the matter that Elder Moon had looked him up for previously.

Um...

What did Master Xuandu and Elder Yue do to my marriage affinity clay figurines?

Li Changshou looked at the Spirit Pills in the porcelain bottle. Putting the quality of the spirit pills aside, the porcelain bottle itself was not an ordinary Dharma artifact. Apart from preserving the medicinal properties of the pills, it could also stabilize the pills and prevent clashes between medicinal properties.

After analyzing the effects of the Level-6 Spirit Pills in his head, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Nurtures the essence soul to strengthen the foundation, stabilizes the Essence Soul, strengthens the Connate Yang... I can tell that this Head Disciple of Ren School has rather impressive alchemy skills. After all, not everyone can take out a Yang-Refining Level-6 Spirit Pill.

This pill...

I’ll let Master use it.

After all, it’s a Level-6 Spirit Pill. It can be used to strengthen the Connate Yang and stabilize one’s Essence Soul. It will be very helpful to master, who is a Turbid Immortal.

However, the pill will eventually have an irrepressible effect on the bodies of male Qi Refinement cultivators. Should I persuade Master to find a wife?

If it’s just for the pill, there would be no need for it.

Why don’t I use this pill as a congratulatory gift for Master when he finds his Dao companion?

Li Changshou smiled and kept the porcelain bottle.

Li Changshou slowly released his immortal senses after he was a distance away from the Immortal Du Hall.

His junior sister was still sleeping soundly at Aunt-Master Jiu Shi’s place. However, the bag tied around her waist was constantly wriggling... Master is awake?

Li Changshou hurriedly drove over on a cloud.

He had long thought of an explanation he could give to his master. On the way, Li Changshou passed by the Hundred Mortal Hall and glanced at it.

Under the shade of a tree, two stone tablets were erected. On one of the tablets, there were words that described the calamity that suddenly struck the Immortal Du Sect, the battle fought by the sect the process of the protection of the sect.

On the other stone tablet were the names of the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect who had died in that battle...

The stability of a sect was actually dependent on the Qi Refinement cultivators in the sect who had to protect and maintain it.

They naturally had to protect their own nest.

However, Li Changshou soon saw another corner of the square opposite the two stone tablets...

There were three stone sculptures that had just been placed on the ground.

On the left was a petite and beautiful female immortal. In the middle of the room was a sword-bearing male immortal. On the right was a burly man who was carrying a huge ax and laughing with his mouth wide open.

Those three stone sculptures were quite magical. The creator of the stone sculptures accurately captured every paper Daoist’s “divine marrow”.

There were two vertical plaques on both sides of the three stone sculptures. On them were written:

“The heroes of the human race.”

“Immortal Du Sect has eternal respect for them.”

There were three incense sticks that were inserted in a small incense burner in front.

Li Changshou could not help but rub the spot in the middle of his forehead. He pretended not to see it and rushed to his junior sister’s side.

The Immortal Du Sect was investigating the origin of the Blood Mosquito Puppets and the followers of the few “Righteous Fellow Daoists”.

The reason for investigating the former was naturally to seek revenge.

The reason for investigating the latter was to make up to the three fellow Daoists by giving their friends and family some benefits.

Li Changshou felt that it would be better to keep the matter a secret and let the Immortal Du Sect search aimlessly, instead of revealing the information he knew, to the Immortal Du Sect.

And those righteous heroes...

Li Changshou immediately got an idea.

Should I get a few paper effigies to mourn and indirectly get some precious treasures and Spirit Stones from the sect?

Li Changshou smiled and dispelled that thought...

The battle allowed him to clearly understand the function of the array formation. He had also made further plans.

The Little Qiong Peak’s array formation could continuously be strengthened and driven deeper. The inner array foundations could be combined into a single array formation and he could refine Little Qiong Peak into a huge mobile array foundation.

Immortals with high cultivation levels could refine their Cave Abodes into Dharma treasures. They could be of any size the immortals preferred.

Once my cultivation level is higher, I can do that too.

If I encounter another disaster that threatens the entire sect...

I can sacrifice Little Qiong Peak to kill powerful enemies.

If I choose to retreat, I can directly put Little Qiong Peak into my sleeve and escape to a spot that was 50,000 kilometers away.

However, that would require vast amounts of precious materials and long-term preparations.

I don’t lack time now. I still have to do what I need to do.

Li Changshou made up his mind. He realized that he was already near the land of the Jiu immortals. He calmed his mind and lowered his head.

He had to wake his junior sister up first and return to the Little Qiong Peak together. He had to comfort his master before anything else.

What can I do for Disciple-Niece Han Zhi now?

Beside the Treasure Pool on Golden Ao Island.

Ao Yi, who looked like a delicate young man, looked at Han Zhi, who was secretly hurt. His gaze was filled with melancholy.

Senior Brother Yuan Ze had been schemed against and controlled by someone who made him do something ridiculous. A few days ago, he was sent back to Golden Ao Island by the Eldest Senior Brother of Ren School.

A few experts from Jie School pleaded for mercy in front of the Eldest Senior Brother from Ren School. In the end, Senior Brother Yuan Ze’s remnant soul was exonerated and allowed to reincarnate. He no longer has anything to do with Jie School...

Ao Yi could not help but make up his mind when he recalled how his Senior Brother Yuan Ze had taken care of him.

I will treat your disciple well.

“Han Zhi...”

Just as Ao Yi was about to say something when his immortal senses suddenly discovered two old Daoists who were flying towards him from outside the Golden Ao Island.

He immediately perked up and quickly said, “The two Senior Brothers who sent Senior Brother Yuan Ze’s soul to the underworld are back!”

Han Zhi looked up and her eyes turned red again. She hurriedly rode a cloud and went up in a bid to ask her master how he was doing in the Netherworld...

A moment later, the two old Daoists were stopped by Ao Yi and Han Zhixian. Both of them frowned and did not know what to say.

Ao Yi quickly asked, “Senior Brothers, is there something wrong?”

“Well...”

“Ah, it should have been fine. It should have been fine!”

The old Daoist priest on the left sighed and said in a low voice, “On account of the Jie School, the immortals of the underworld will not make things too hard for him.”

“However, according to the rules set by the Sage, we cannot interfere with the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Therefore, the immortals of the underworld can only guarantee that they will arrange for Junior Brother Yuan Ze to be reincarnated as a person with a good fortune. He will no longer have any ties with this life. However, unexpectedly...”.

The old Daoist priest on the right looked up and sighed. “Before Junior Brother Yuan Ze drank Meng Po’s soup, that wisp of soul spoke again!”

“W-What...”

Han Zhi asked in a trembling voice, “What did my master say?”

“He said, don’t worry. There shouldn’t be any problems with a trivial matter like reincarnation.”

Han Zhi could not help but hold her forehead with one hand, feeling dizzy...

Ao Yi quickly asked, “What happened?”

“He has passed the Bridge of Helplessness and drank Meng Po’s soup. He’s arrived in front of a few paths. However, for some reason, there was a wave in the River of Forgetfulness that appeared and sent his soul to the path to becoming beasts. We couldn’t save him either. His soul was absorbed by the Reincarnation Wheel. We have also asked around about the rest of the matters. Junior Brother Yuan Ze seems to have reincarnated as a demon. In his next life, he should be a black-skinned leopard.” “Master...”

When Han Zhi heard those words, she was overwhelmed with grief. Her essence soul was in turmoil and her mind was declining. Her body was on the verge of collapsing and she was quickly supported by Ao Yi.
