Chapter 9: A Woman Three Years Older Holds a Gold Brick, Artificial Spiritual Root
When he discovered that Li Niansheng might be interested in Yixiu, Zhao Dezhu, Sect Leader of Linglong Sect, instantly thought of several plans.
"Yixiu, virtuous nephew, how has your Master, Zen Master Huihai, been recently?"
Seeing Zhao Dezhu, Sect Leader of Linglong Sect, greet him so warmly, Yixiu was a bit bewildered.
Because he couldn't understand why Chang Sheng Immortal, known for her coldness, would like such an ordinary wooden carving.
And everyone seemed to have misunderstood something.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, my Master is in good health."
"It's just that he recently had some insights, which is why he sent this humble monk here."
"Neither humble nor arrogant, truly a talented Disciple from a renowned Master."
"As for you Young Man's matters, we older generation won't interfere."
"A hundred years from now, when your Realm is stable, remember to come to Linglong Sect to propose."
Yixiu: ???
"Sect Leader, you've misunderstood, I'm not..."
Hearing this, Yixiu immediately panicked and quickly wanted to explain.
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Dezhu, Sect Leader of Linglong Sect.
"Oh my!"
"Young Man, don't be so wishy-washy when doing things, and don't be embarrassed just because your strength is a little weaker temporarily."
"As the saying goes, a woman three years older holds a gold brick, a woman thirty years older gives a kingdom, and a woman three thousand years older joins the ranks of Immortals."
"Although my closed-door Disciple is fifty years older than you, this is not a big issue for cultivators."
"As for your Master, I, Zhao Dezhu, will speak to him personally."
"It's not like your Tianfo Temple has no precedent for forming Daoist companions; your Master still has to give me this much Face, after all, your Master and I have known each other for over three hundred years."
Seeing this matter getting more complicated the more he tried to explain, Yixiu immediately stopped trying to explain.
The only plan now is to wait until he can meet with Martial Uncle Chang Sheng alone to explain clearly.
Li Niansheng returned to the Elder seats, and the ceremony of Linglong Sect also continued.
...
Linglong Town.
"Martial Uncle, this is how it is, this wooden carving is not mine."
"This place was really a coffin shop originally, you have to believe me."
Looking at the empty coffin shop, Yixiu almost cried from anxiety.
Chen Changsheng, that bastard, suddenly disappeared, and now even with a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain himself.
After the ceremony ended, Yixiu immediately rushed to find Li Niansheng to explain.
To make Li Niansheng believe him, Yixiu truthfully recounted everything that had happened with Chen Changsheng over the years.
But just as Yixiu brought Li Niansheng to see Chen Changsheng to prove his innocence...
The original coffin shop was gone, all traces of Chen Changsheng's life had disappeared, leaving only an empty storefront.
As if Chen Changsheng had never appeared at all.
However, facing Yixiu's anxiety, Li Niansheng remained calm from beginning to end.
After a long time, Li Niansheng spoke: "Yixiu, do you want to become Daoist companions with me?"
As soon as these words came out, Yixiu's eyelids started twitching wildly.
"No, I don't want to now, and I won't want to in the future."
"That's best," Li Niansheng nodded and said, "If you dare to have such a thought, I will pluck your bald head off your shoulders."
"From now on, no matter who asks you, you are not allowed to mention the name Chen Changsheng."
"If you dare to reveal even half a word, your life will not be guaranteed."
Facing Li Niansheng's murderous threat, Yixiu immediately realized something was wrong.
It seems Martial Uncle Chang Sheng knows Chen Changsheng, and by the looks of it, they might have known each other for a long time!
"Martial Uncle, please rest assured, this humble monk guarantees not to reveal even half a word."
"But this humble monk often comes here; if someone with ulterior motives investigates, they might find some clues."
"At that time, how should this humble monk answer?"
Hearing this, Li Niansheng thought for a moment and said, "You can truthfully recount your experiences together, but you must hide his appearance and name."
"If someone insists on asking for his title, just say he calls himself the Undertaker."
"This humble monk understands. Then will this humble monk still be able to see him?"
"Probably, after all, he is a very nostalgic person."
After speaking, Li Niansheng turned and left.
He glanced at Li Niansheng's back, then looked at the empty coffin shop again.
Many questions accumulated in Yixiu's heart, but no one could answer these questions for him.
The only way to unravel these questions is probably time.
...
A certain wilderness.
"Azure Dragon on the left, White Tiger on the right, Vermilion Bird in the front, Black Tortoise in the back."
"As expected, it's a place with excellent Feng Shui."
After observing the compass in his hand again, Chen Changsheng immediately slapped his thigh in excitement.
After the teleportation array was activated, he was sent to this wilderness.
Upon arriving here, Chen Changsheng immediately began searching for a place with excellent Feng Shui.
It took eight years to accompany Nian Sheng as she grew up, and fifty years to reach Linglong Sect.
After arriving near Linglong Sect, Chen Changsheng stayed in Linglong Town for another twenty years.
Eighty years of Lifespan, now only two years remain.
About to begin sleeping, Chen Changsheng naturally had to find a "good place".
After determining the location, Chen Changsheng immediately began the excavation work.
However, this excavation took a full year.
...
"Tsk tsk!"
"Simply perfect, how could I have come up with such a clever idea?"
Walking back and forth inside the cave, Chen Changsheng couldn't stop smiling.
Chen Changsheng spent a year forcefully digging out a cave in the mountainside.
To prevent being disturbed during his sleep, Chen Changsheng also made foolproof disguises for the cave entrance.
Above the cave entrance, Chen Changsheng piled up a large amount of soil, and in the soil, Chen Changsheng also mixed many seeds.
As long as it rains, the loose soil above the cave entrance will be washed down.
And the soil washed down will adhere to the stones blocking the cave entrance.
After those seeds naturally grow for one or two years, the traces of artificial excavation here will disappear without a trace.
After feeling a little proud of his design, Chen Changsheng took out a jade coffin from the System space.
Inside the jade coffin was filled with liquid emitting a medicinal fragrance.
This was also the second thing Chen Changsheng had to do before sleeping, creating an artificial Spiritual Root.
"System, can this method really work?"
"Whether it works or not, the host will know after trying."
"The result of failure is nothing more than wasting the sleeping time that you don't care about at all."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right, even if it fails, I won't lose anything."
After speaking, Chen Changsheng stripped off his clothes and got into the jade coffin filled with medicinal liquid, and began his eighty-year sleep.
After obtaining the autobiography of the Blood Demon Ancestor, Chen Changsheng had been contemplating the matter of artificial Spiritual Roots.
After contemplating for ten years, Chen Changsheng actually figured out a safe and reliable method.
