Chapter 109 Senior Brother Smiles
According to the disciples who were in charge of patrol, there were Qi Refinement cultivators who came to visit and claimed that they were looking for someone from the Little Qiong Peak.
Li Changshou scanned the area with his immortal senses. Fang Hao saw two figures leaving on a cloud outside the mountain gate. They seemed to have entrusted something to the immortals guarding the gate.
Li Changshou waved his hand and asked Ling’e to go over, according to the fixed rule of the Primordial World where the seniors would order the juniors around.
Li Changshou searched the Little Qiong Peak carefully to see if there were any mosquitoes.
The presence of mosquitoes was not a trivial matter.
Perhaps it was because Li Changshou had been too tired recently, but now that he was focused, he felt a little anxious…
He stood beside the lake, amongst a group of Spirit-Eating Jade Frogs, and used his immortal senses to examine the various parts of the mountain.
He suddenly realized something and obtained the ability to sense his surroundings.
What did that mean?
In fact, it was just a technique for using his immortal senses. There were no cultivation techniques in the system. It required the Qi Refinement cultivators to comprehend and figure it out.
With that ability, he could break the barrier within 50 kilometers when he spots an ant from 500 kilometers away.
Thus, Ling’e flew over from the gate.
When Li Changshou’s immortal senses were focused on her body in the past. He could only see her figure, face and expression. He could also barely tell the extent that her hair was fluttering.
It was different now. His immortal senses could even allow him to see the veins on her skin…
Actually, Lingle’s skin was really not bad. Even if Li Changshou used his Spiritual Perception, he could not find any flaws. Her skin was as smooth as jade and could be broken with a snap of a finger.
With such perfect skin… it would be a pity if he did not use her for spirit herbs.
Li Changshou retracted his immortal senses and continued to search the various parts of Little Qiong Peak. With his ability to detect, it allowed probing to be faster and more convenient.
Where were the mosquitoes?
Previously, he had performed a few full-scale massacres on mosquitoes in Little Qiong Peak. There was not a single ordinary mosquito at all.
“Senior Brother! See what I brought back!”
Ling’e jumped down from the cloud and shouted as if she was seeking credit.
A jade talisman slowly rotated in Lingle’s palm. It emitted a faint glow and looked rather ordinary.
“Have you checked it?”
Ling’e said, “I’ve checked. It’s just a messenger jade talisman. There are no restrictions.”
Li Changshou grabbed it and checked it a few more times.
Ling’e hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, this is for Master. We can’t open it casually.”
“For Master?”
“Yes. The immortal guarding the gate said that this jade token was left behind by two Qi Refinement cultivators. They said that they had something important to attend to, so they left first. The two of them asked if there was anyone else at Little Qiong Peak, and said that Master’s old friend had asked them to bring this jade token here. They want us to pass it to Master…”
“I wouldn’t have been interested if you didn’t tell me about it.” Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and weighed the jade token in his hand as if he wanted to see through the restrictions inside.
He did not dare to open it directly. After all, many jade tokens were made poorly. After the content was read, it would disappear automatically. However, if this is a trap, and there are some harmful methods hidden in there…
It was not easy for Master to become a Turbid Immortal. Even if he were to work in the Heavenly Courts in the future, he would barely be able to live for tens of thousands of years. He could not withstand such torture.
Ling’e whispered, “Senior Brother, does Master have any friends outside?” “As far as I know, no.”
Li Changshou said, “Let’s not talk about the people outside the sect. Those few acquaintances of Master’s in the sect barely have any ties with him. After all, Master has been cultivating hard for the past thousand
years.”
Ling’e sighed softly. “Master is so pitiful.” Li Changshou said in a low voice, “This communication jade token is probably part of someone else’s scheme… Ling’e, do you remember the rumor that you told me when I came back from the tomb?”
The two of them looked at each other and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Hence… the duo returned to Li Changshou’s straw hut and activated several small-scale array formations. They gathered and fiddled with them.
A moment later.
“Hahahaha! Senior Brother, I’ve already said it!”
Ling’e collapsed on her senior brother’s bed and laughed out loud. She laughed to the extent that the red hairpin tilted and her hair became messy.
It’s a pity that Little Aunt-Master is not here. Otherwise, it would have been a spectacular sight to see her laugh to this extent.
Beside the short table, Li Changshou was speechless. He stared at the “family letter” written on the jade token, as well as the words that were about to disappear…
It was really an ordinary letter…
Furthermore, it was a letter from an important person, who signed off as “Wan Jiangyu”.
If Li Changshou remembered correctly, his master had read that name out loud after getting drunk on several occasions when he was younger… It should be his Aunt-Master.
Li Changshou did not want to read the content of the letter, and he could only pen the words down before they disappeared.
Li Changshou wanted to use the communication jade token again, but he realized that the spiritual energy inside it had been used up.
He thought about it and took out a piece of cloth. He held a pen in his left hand and wrote down the contents. He then used his immortal power to dry the ink and created a fake letter.
He had also placed the jade token aside, and on it was the aura of “Wan Jiangyu”.
“Senior Brother, what is written in the letter?”
Li Changshou said, “The writer wants to tell Master that she has been doing well all these years. She has been leading a good life. She said that she was wrong in the past. As Master’s Senior Sister, she failed to protect him… Yunyun.”
Ling’e frowned slightly. The corners of her mouth twitched as she whispered, “Senior Brother, I don’t really like this Aunt-Master.”
“Yes, she never returned for eight to nine hundred years and didn’t contact Master at all. I don’t really like her either.”
Li Changshou’s voice became mellower. It was rare for him to speak in a gentle tone.
“I always prepare myself for the worst, be it when it comes to humans or other matters. Only by doing so can I deal with the worst situation. However, for this matter, I hope for the best.”
“Senior Brother, what is the best possibility?”
Ling’e folded her skirt and knelt beside her senior brother. Her eyes were filled with tenderness as she listened carefully.
“The best possibility… would be that this Aunt-Master had gone out to search for treasures that could heal Master’s injuries and restore his Dao foundation. However, her efforts were futile and hundreds of years had passed quickly. Her heart was filled with despair, but she did not dare to return. She was afraid that she would see Master giving up on himself, or a pile of bones and his grave.
Therefore, after eight to nine hundred years, she finally dared to send a letter of greeting…” After Li Changshou finished speaking, Lingle was already in a trance as her eyes glazed over.
Ling’e said gently, “Senior Brother if someone were to hurt me one day, would you also travel everywhere and put in all your effort for me…”
“Don’t worry.” Li Changshou nodded and said seriously, “As long as you’re not beaten to death, I can think of a way to save you. Even if you die, you can go to the underworld to reincarnate as long as your body and soul are not destroyed, can’t you? Besides, why would you get injured? Haven’t you written enough copies of the Steadiness Sutra?”
“I!”
Ling’e snapped back to reality instantly. She rolled her eyes in anger and wanted to bite her senior brother!
However, Ling’e noticed that her senior brother was squinting slightly, and the corners of his lips were slightly curled.
Every time her senior brother showed such a subtle expression…
Ling’e immediately retreated and felt nervous.
Who is it this time? I’m going to be arranged by Senior Brother…
“Ling’e, don’t you know a few disciples from other peaks?”
Li Changshou continued, “Let’s spread the news about Master and Wan Jiangyu secretly. It’s up to you to make arrangements. As long as you let others know that Little Qiong Peak’s Wan Jiangyu has returned to find Little Qiong Peak’s Qi Yuan, that’d be enough.”
Ling’e thought about it and understood her senior brother’s plan. She whispered, “Senior Brother, are you planning to…” “Don’t say anything more.” Li Changshou looked at his junior sister. “Just do these things to feel a little involved. I’ll make arrangements later.” “Oh.” Ling’e pursed her lips and did not dare to speak. She was already thinking about how to spread the news…
She naturally knew what her senior brother wanted to do. He undoubtedly wanted to sever the karma accumulated by her master in the past and settle that grudge.
As Li Changshou had expected, Old Daoist Qi Yuan discovered that he had secretly read the letter when he handed it to him.
In the end, his master naturally raised his horsetail whisk and chased Li Changshou around the mountain for an hour…
Qi Yuan read the letter and sighed. He did not say anything and did not look happy either.
The old Daoist priest Qi Yuan looked even older. He continued to meditate in his room.
Ling’e could not help but worry. “Senior Brother, why does Master not seem happy at all?”
Li Changshou rubbed the back of his buttocks and pursed his lips. He could not help but send a voice transmission to his junior sister and dissed his master.
“Master, is a stubborn person. He’s slow-witted. He’s still immersed in the disappointment of Aunt-Master leaving him and losing the battle back then. He still can’t get over it for the time being. If you don’t believe me, go over to take a look in an hour’s time. You’ll definitely jump around in the house.”
After saying that, Li Changshou shook his head and rode a cloud towards the Pill Chamber. Before he left, he muttered incessantly.
He had opened the communication jade token in advance for his master’s safety!
…
An hour later…
Ling’e, who was leaning against the window, suddenly heard a series of clattering sounds. A burst of laughter came from her master’s straw hut. The wooden door was slammed open by her master.
The old Daoist priest jumped out and raised his horsetail whisk while shouting, “Changshou! Ling’e! Your Aunt-Master has finally taken the initiative to send me a letter!”
Ling’e could not help but support her forehead with one hand. She then cooperated and shouted, “Master, is that true?”
“Ah! That’s right! Ling’e, quickly come and take a look!”
“Yes, Master. I’ll be right there.”
Ling’e smiled and ran over to read the letter that Li Changshou had copied…
In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that.
The next thing to do was to wait for news.
Once Junior Sister releases the information regarding Wan Jiangyu, we’ll see if we can find out where Master’s enemy is.
It would be best if we can provoke the other party and lure him to the Little Qiong Peak to stir trouble…
However, Li Changshou did not focus all his attention on that matter. He had two important things to do every day.
One of them was cultivation and enlightenment.
Secondly, he had to spend two hours every day to observe the development of the Sea God Sect through the senses of the statue…
Occasionally, he would give the Divine Envoys a dream and give blessings to the kind people who worshiped him.
Since he had voluntarily chosen that path, he would try his best to be a qualified “illegitimate god” and then slowly find an opportunity to escape…
It was worth mentioning that the few dragon Guardians were very powerful and supportive.
Those True Dragon Guardians discovered some demonic aura in the periphery of the Sea God Sect some time ago.
Without hesitation or investigating the other party’s background, they attacked him directly when they met. They even chased a Flying Great Demon that was of the for 15,000 kilometers and killed it in a large city in the mortal world.
The dragons of the Primordial World were quiet yet ruthless.
After that, some forces secretly got up to tricks, and a group of great demons arrived.
The Immortal Flood Dragon troops and experts of the dragon race that were hidden in the South Ocean were fighting together. However, they defeated those demons in a short while…
Li Changshou, who had “watched” the entire battle through the statue, felt very comfortable.
After a few conflicts, it was time for the Dragon Palace’s announcement to all the forces in the southwest region of the South Continent—the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean was used by the dragon race to collect incense offerings.
The dragon race had a deep heritage and was now filled with anger. Even the Western Sect was a little afraid of them. Moreover, there were some things that could not be shown explicitly…
Therefore, the people who were plotting in secret only used the powerful demons that were being controlled to test them. They did not want to be embroiled with the Sea God Sect.
Li Changshou felt that it was a pity that he could not promote the “One-stop funeral service” in the Sea God Sect, which included a funeral, scattering of ashes, and expiation Otherwise… the scene would definitely be spectacular.
While paying attention to the Sea God Sect, Li Changshou had also secretly observed the sect for three months.
Many people in the sect knew about the gossip revolving around Little Qiong Peak, but they only smiled and said a few words.
The enemy did not reveal any traces of his presence. He was having a battle of wit and bravery with Li Changshou and the air.
However, it did not matter. Li Changshou could wait patiently… However, what surprised Li Changshou was that three months later, the second letter was delivered to his master.
Qi Yuan became even more excited after reading the letter.
The old Daoist priest called Li Changshou and Lan Ling’e to the front. He smiled so widely that his beard seemed to touch his eyebrows and he solemnly announced, “Changshou, Ling’e, I’m going out now. Take care of Little Qiong Peak!”
Li Changshou frowned. His master had already flown towards the gate. Why are you in such a hurry?
What if you’re being schemed against?
Li Changshou hurriedly shouted, “Master! Wait…”
Li Changshou felt that the words ‘a minute’ were too unlucky. When he was about to say them, Li Changshou changed it to his usual voice and exclaimed, “Hold on!”
