My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 77 - Greetings From The Old One

Chapter 77: Greetings From The Old One

Exalted Wang Qing is indeed powerful. His cultivation level is high, his mystical abilities are fierce, and he has many Dharma treasures.
The main point is, he has scheming tricks too.
Exalted Wang Qing and the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island were sparring outside the mountain-protecting array formation. The after-effects of the battle caused the array formation to sway back and forth, causing the Primordial Energy within a radius of hundreds of kilometers to fluctuate…
Hundreds of kilometers outside the mountain, an Earth Immortal Dao cultivator, who had turned himself into a tree stump, was still sleeping soundly. He was not disturbed at all…
Li Changshou was quite impressed by his master’s ability to stay calm-as-usual and focused.
In the battle, Exalted Wang Qing had displayed his domineering aura and style, giving Li Changshou some enlightenment about fights between many intermediate immortals.
Apart from the Sect Leader and the Grand Elders, who were in seclusion all year round, Exalted Wang Qing was considered the strongest in the Immortal Du Sect.
However, after cultivating for ten thousand years, Exalted Wang Qing was still unable to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. Even in the East Continent, he could not be considered an expert.
Heaven Immortals still had limited lifespans. No matter how powerful their mystical abilities were or how many Dharma treasures they had, they would not be able to avoid aging and time would still take its toll on them.
Only Golden Immortals… would enjoy immortality…
Only by using one’s own Dao to protect one’s own body would one be able to escape the fate of going through the standard cycle of life. Only then would one be able to live as long as heaven and earth. Only then would one be able to take the first step in the Primordial World.
That was only the first step.
It only meant that a true expert could somewhat take a serious look at him.
Li Changshou, who had been watching the battle by the lake, stood still with his hands behind his back. After watching the battle, he had gained some insight. However, he quickly accepted all of it. He suppressed his cultivation level and did not make a breakthrough.
This small realm is still not strong enough yet.
Although it was stated in the Inaction Sutra said that one needed to let nature take its course, and that doing nothing is an achievement, it was mainly meant to prevent cultivators from forcing themselves to impatiently cultivate to a certain realm.
Li Changshou’s pursuit of perfection in the lower realms was against the true meaning of the Inaction Sutra, but there were no side effects.
His long sleeve was flicked gently, and a gentle breeze blew past. There was nothing strange about it.
He turned around, but his little junior sister was nowhere to be seen.
Li Changshou scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and saw Ling’e sitting in front of her dressing table. She was facing the glazed glass mirror that he had given her, admiring her beauty…
“You’re a narcissist.”
Li Changshou chuckled and turned around to leave the Pill Chamber.
The array formations around the Pill Chamber were all activated. A few wooden plaques were erected outside the array formation. :
There were some words engraved on them—”If there’s anything you need, please enter the array. You will be able to detect something when you’re cultivating in seclusion.”
Once again, he sat down cross-legged behind the Pill Furnace and held onto the jade token that could control the array.
Li Changshou thought about it for a while and realized that there might be changes in the future. In the end, he had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.
Karma is hard to predict.
His trip to the Northern Continent had caused all sorts of troubles to arise.
Due to the fact that he had gone out to transcend the tribulation, he ended up getting involved in the matter with the South Ocean Sea God…
Right, how much merit from incense offerings do I have now?
Li Changshou felt the power of his merit. He could vaguely see a faint golden cloud around his essence soul.
Li Changshou pinched his fingers and made some calculations before feeling his aura surging. He almost cursed!
It has only been a few years, how could there be more than 600 statues?
More than six hundred villages and towns are performing the useless worships to the Sea God?
Are incense offerings really such a lucrative business in the mortal world!?!
He carefully sensed the situation again before secretly gritting his teeth…
Outrageous!
This Xiong Village is too outrageous!
They actually did not delve into the manufacturing industry and the entire village claims themselves to be the messengers of the Sea God in the South Sea. They are showing off their exaggerated muscles everywhere and promoting the mystical abilities of the Sea God in the South Sea. They are using this opportunity to make a fortune!
If you trust the Sea God, you’ll have great strength!
My foot!
Li Changshou’s lips twitched as he quickly thought of a solution.
Things cannot continue developing like this. Otherwise, the Sea God Sect will truly rise!
After so many years, the Western Sect may not have come looking for me and I’ve also earned a lot of merits, he is definitely a huge snake in the grass!
However, what could the Sea God, who was in charge of this matter, do?
I can’t show his face, I’ll definitely be targeted.
I have to stay far away from the South Sea. I have to stay in the Immortal Du Sect in the East Continent.
The Immortal Du Sect had been in trouble several times. For example, the time when Elder Wan Linyun became famous was because the immortals in the sect killed some demons and provoked a group of them that attacked the Immortal Du Sect.
When the Immortal Du Sect was first established, it had fought with other Immortal Sects for the spirit meridians, which resulted in a huge battle between Immortal Sects…
How could the old Saint care about such a conflict?
Even the founder of the Immortal Du Sect, the Perfected Du’e, wasn’t too “motivated” to appear.
However, if the Western Sect dared to seek the Immortal Du Sect because of the incident that happened in the South Sea, the experts from Ren School would definitely deal with it.
That was a battle between Saints. The nature of the battle was naturally different.
“I should go to the Hundred Mortal Hall and pay my respects.”
However, at the end of the day, isn’t this all because the Western Sect is too incompetent?
A group of them decided to sell incense offerings. They had put in a lot of effort to hatch a plot, but in the end, they could not even compete with a Sea God who did not even reveal his true body!
Li Changshou raised his head and sighed. He then felt a little helpless.
If the matter were to really cause trouble in the future, he could only say one thing…
“You are looking for the Sea God of the South Sea. What does it have to do with Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect?”
Li Changshou closed his eyes and focused his mind on the paper effigy. He observed the surroundings of the square and quickly got busy.
After completing the elixirs and exchanging them for spiritual herbs and precious materials, I will go into seclusion and stay on the mountain for twenty years!
I’ll have to put the money-making matters aside for now.
After all…
Staying alive is the most important.
…
“How can I do that? My appearance has already been decided on…”
After the Qi Refinement cultivators broke through to the Soul Formation Stage, they could change their appearance.
Therefore, most of the women in the younger generation of the sect were beautiful, and the men were decent-looking as well.
When one’s cultivation level was high, they would also pay attention to their appearance.
However, the Dao companions in the sect or the Qi Refinement cultivators who were already fond of someone else would conscientiously keep their appearances fixed…
Most men would keep themselves looking like they were in their thirties. They mostly looked handsome and mature.
Women were different. The ones who cared would “lock” their appearances whenever they felt that they looked the most beautiful.
For example, Ling’e knew that she herself, Youqin Xuanya, Liu Yan’er, her Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, as well as the other senior and junior sisters whom she was close to, had all locked their appearances. In the future, their appearances and figure would be the same…
That made it difficult for them to age naturally…
Although Ling’e knew that it would be very difficult to win Li Changshou’s heart and make him fall for her, she did not expect it… to be that tough!
“What should I do?”
Ling’e sighed softly. She recalled the contents of the painting that she had seen previously and thought about how she should deal with it.
Very quickly, Ling’e sat up and took out the small amount of rouge powder she had left. She pinched her chin with her left hand and revealed a thoughtful expression.
She could only start with makeup…
Since Senior Brother pursues thrill, I, his junior sister, shall go all out!
That’d make me worthy of being his junior!
…
Li Changshou could be considered to have made a fruitful trip to Linhai Town this time. Since he had decided to pause his plan to get rich, he focused on searching for the materials required for him to set up the array formation and reduced the accumulation of spiritual herbs and herbs.
He could not have the best of both worlds. Given the current situation, the defense system of the Little Qiong Peak was of utmost priority.
This time, the paper effigy had successfully sneaked back from Linhai Town. He drew a diagonal figure-eight as a return route.
When he found his master, he heard rhythmic snoring beside the tree stump.
The paper effigy looked at the Sensing Stone and realized that no one was investigating the place. He then searched the surroundings in detail.
After confirming that the place was safe, the paper effigy returned to the tree stump. His body swayed as he chanted, “Little, Little, Little”, and turned into his original appearance of a thick paper doll…
The paper effigy carried the bulging backpack on its back and raised the square box above its head. It ran to the tree stump and let out a “heya!” before throwing the square box out, after which it gently hit the tree stump.
“Eh?”
The tree stump, which was sleeping soundly, suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke. Old Daoist Qi Yuan stretched his back and stood up, looking at the square box beside his feet.
“Master, I’m back with the box.”
“Are you done?” Qi Yuan smiled and asked. He put the box into his sleeve and walked towards the sect.
Li Changshou’s mind immediately returned to his main body. He kept telling his master about what had happened previously.
In other words, it was the matter about the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island visiting the sect to discuss the Dao, as well as the sparring session with Ao Yi which he had won.
After hearing his recount, Qi Yuan felt regretful about the fact that he had missed out on such a lively event…
“Master, don’t worry about going out later,” Li Changshou said. He continued, “Master, you should focus on your cultivation and try your best to avoid going out. The last time we discussed the Dao, the people from Jie School fought a total of three battles. All of them were defeated. I’m afraid there will be more issues that will surface after that.”
Qi Yuan looked at the distant mountain gate and muttered softly, “What issues can there be? There’s no need for Jie School to go against us for such a trivial matter.”
Li Changshou replied, “It’s not that I’m afraid of being interrupted. I’m just afraid that someone might make use of this matter to create an issue. Now that the conflict between the Jie School and Chan School has worsened, there might be people thinking…”
“Thinking about what?”
“Using someone else to achieve their agenda.”
Qi Yuan shuddered and mumbled, “Changshou, should we inform the sect about this?”
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “Master, we’re easily targeted. For the sake of safety, it’s best to wait and see for now. Besides, if I can think of this, the other experts in the sect definitely can too. ”
“That’s true.”
Qi Yuan thought about it and realized that it was true.
Li Changshou, who was meditating in the Pill Chamber, sensed that his junior was about to enter the array formation. Thus, he told his master, “Master, come back and we’ll talk about this matter. I have one more thing to report to you.”
After he finished speaking, Li Changshou closed the array formation around the Pill Chamber and let Ling’e in.
However, he kept his immortal senses fixed on his master until the latter entered the sect. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
Master’s cultivation level is too low and it’d be worrying if he goes out.
Li Changshou remained seated and carefully speculated if others would make use of the fact that Ao Yi and his group had visited for a Dao discussion.
He had heard many people talking about the matter in Linhai Town, which was why he realized the possible consequences of the matter.
Of course, the people who were talking about the matter were all talking about how powerful Exalted Wang Qing was. No one would mention the young disciple who liked to use the Earth Escape technique to sneak in some attacks.
That made Li Changshou quite satisfied.
In fact, Li Changshou had always felt that the Western Sect had contributed greatly to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
It was because the Western Sect had obtained far too many benefits from it.
They transcended others, snatched treasures, obtained pets…
The conflicts between the three sects that have arisen after the Three Pure Ones split up, have been greatly magnified and blown up. Could it be that the two Western Saints have schemed against them as well?
This question…
“Senior Brother~~”
A sweet voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
His junior sister was there again. Every once in a while, she would do such meaningless things.
Li Changshou looked in the direction of the voice and immediately saw Ling’e, who was clad in a long dress with wide sleeves and raising her left hand to cover her face. She was walking slowly into the Pill Chamber.
“Junior Sister, I’m thinking about serious matters. What’s wrong with you?” Li Changshou smiled. “Did the Hundred Poisons Bees sting your face?”
“Senior Brother, you’re so annoying!”
Ling’e chided him softly. Then, with a hint of shyness, she moved the sleeve away from her face and revealed…
She revealed… her face.
She had thick makeup on, and she made her face look aged and wrinkled by pasting many pieces of paper on it…
Ling’e looked at the look of shock on his face and smiled smugly in her head. She bowed at him and deliberately said in a hoarse voice, “Greetings.”
Li Changshou opened his mouth and sat still on the meditation cushion. He could not move at all and looked like he had been petrified.
…
On a deserted island in the South Ocean less than a hundred kilometers from the land, three Daoists were kneeling on a reef, their faces as pale as sheets.
Buzz—
The sound of mosquitoes grew clearer in the waves. The three of them were Perfected Immortals, but cold sweat kept rolling down their foreheads.
All of a sudden, an array formation appeared out of nowhere. Wisps of gray Qi floated in all directions, and the surroundings turned dark.
Rays of blood-red light gathered at the side, forming a figure that was in a blood-colored dress.
It was a woman who was so beautiful that she looked a little demonic. She was absolutely gorgeous and her figure was exaggeratedly stunning. Clad in nothing but a red robe, she walked towards the three of them barefooted.
She stretched out her slender fingers and tapped one of them on the forehead. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A streak of blood flashed across her seductive face…
The True Immortal, on the other hand, did not even get to let out a single scream. In an instant, he was reduced to dust that scattered with the wind.
The woman snorted and she admired her long and slender fingers. She then said in a hoarse yet sultry voice, “This tastes horrible.”
“I told you to search for the so-called Sea God’s true body in the South Ocean, but you’re only kneeling here and begging me to spare you. Why? Do you think I won’t eat if I’m not hungry?”
The remaining two Daoists hurriedly lowered their heads. Their bodies were trembling, and they did not even dare to breathe.
