chapter 226

This time, I should be able to succeed. Li Changshou looked at Exalted Wang Qing who had landed by the lake, as well as his grandmaster, Jiang Lin’er, who had come out from the straw hut. He then lowered his head to look at the Flame Of Heart Pill in his hand…

Forget it. There’s no need for that. Too much of a good thing can be bad.

Li Changshou put away the medicine pouch and stood in front of the Pill Chamber with his hands behind his back.

The two of them sat under a familiar willow tree by the lake.

Li Changshou thought for a while and gave Ling’e some instructions.

Not long after, Ling’e rode a cloud towards the lake and landed in front of her master’s straw hut. She woke Daoist Qi Yuan, who was probably cultivating, up and told him a thing or two… Qi Yuan looked at the tree and was stunned.

“They made progress so quickly?” Li Changshou and Ling’e were speechless.

Then, Qi Yuan smiled gently, his eyes filled with emotions and nostalgia.

He looked at his master, Jiang Lin’er. It was as if he was looking at… an old lady who had been alone for thousands of years and was finally going to get married today. He was extremely pleased and a little reluctant to let her go. “Master, let’s go quickly.” Ling’e grimaced. Qi Yuan immediately stroked his beard, smiled, and nodded in agreement.

After that, the master and his disciples headed to the willow tree by the lake and bowed to Jiang Lin’er and Exalted Wang Qing.

Qi Yuan said, “Master, Uncle-Master, I’ve been wanting to cultivate in the Dao of alchemy recently. I’m going to stay in the Pill Chamber.”

Jiang Lin’er suddenly understood something. She pretended to be calm and replied, but her ears were already completely red. Ling’e took out a jade token and handed it to Jiang Lin’er respectfully.

She said gently, “Grandmaster, this is the isolation array formation around your house. Senior Brother and Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu made it together.”

“Okay, got it.” When Jiang Lin’er took the jade token, her hands were trembling.

At the side, Exalted Wang Qing said warmly, “Little Yuan, I have some alchemy techniques. Do you need them?”

“I don’t need them, I don’t need them.” Qi Yuan hurriedly said, “I just wanted a sense of novelty. I’ll go now.” After saying that, Qi Yuan and Ling’e bowed again and rode a cloud towards the Pill Chamber.

Within a five-kilometer radius of the lake, Jiang Lin’er and Master Forgotten Love were left alone…

They looked at each other affectionately. He had yet to finish his sentence. “Lin’er, I recently studied a cultivation technique.”

Jiang Lin’er lowered her head and said, “Okay, what cultivation technique is it?”

“Let’s go inside. It’s not convenient to reveal it outside.”

“O-Okay…”

Jiang Lin’er’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s. In a daze, she stood up and led the way to her straw hut.

As soon as Exalted Wang Qing stepped into the straw hut, Jiang Lin’er activated the various array formations in the straw hut and used her immortal power to set up several layers of boundaries.

He was a little flustered.

Li Changshou smiled calmly. How could such a small boundary be difficult for him?

Why? He had killed a few Dao Realm cultivators who were just a step away from the perfected Heaven Immortal realm.

He extended his immortal senses and realized that an even stronger boundary had appeared within the boundary. It seemed to have been set up by Exalted Wang Qing. Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Well, he did not want to pry into people’s privacy at first. He just wanted to see how things were going. Yes, he wanted to see if they had gone the wrong way. Since they did not want him to look, he would not look.

When he saw his master and Ling’e flying over on a cloud, Li Changshou turned around and started setting up the array.

Li Changshou took out a specially-made table. The middle of the table was emptied and there was a pot placed in it. The pot was split into four segments by two pieces of metal.

Self-invented Dharma artifactFully-automatic hotpot table!

The metal pot had a Dharma treasure restriction that could keep the environment warm. It could control the size of the fire by injecting Dharma powers.

Other than that, there were also a few small-scale defensive boundaries, anti-smell restrictions, and other small designs.

After setting up the tables and chairs, Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to Xiong Lingli to instruct her to kill a few spiritual beasts that were suitable for roasting.

Then, he took out a few spirit herbs and spirit vegetables that he had prepared previously. He poured immortal spring water into the pot and began to make the soup base.

There was a joyous occasion over there. It had to be lively over here. Although it was not as grand as the wedding held at the Dragon Palace and was not as crowded as the mortal world, it still felt like a wedding… When his master and Ling’e arrived, most of the hotpot was ready.

Ling’e said happily, “Senior Brother, what new thing have you made?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “This is called… a hot pot. I still need to make some sauce. Ling’e went to the Heaven-Breaking Peak to invite Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu over. She had been very bored recently. Let’s have a good time today. We’ll treat it as a celebration for Grandmaster and Uncle-Grandmaster.”

“Hey, I’ll go now!”

Ling’e turned around and left on a cloud. Qi Yuan shook his sleeve and smiled. “Changshou, what can I do for you?” Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Master, just sit and watch. How can I let you do spmething?”

Qi Yuan smiled and shook his head. He went to the lounge chair outside the door to rest.

Not long after, Xiong Lingli slaughtered a few spiritual beasts, cut them up and plated them. He carried dozens of kilograms of fresh spiritual beast meat and rushed to the Pill Chamber.

Moments later, Ling’e and Jiu Jiu sat on the large gourd.

However, Jiu Jiu’s senior brothers and senior sisters arrived together with her…

The Jiu Immortals had gone to the Little Qiong Peak to eat and drink while cultivating the Eight Trigrams technique.

Li Changshou took out the hotpot table as if he was performing a trick. After bowing, he arranged Jiu Wu, Jiu Shi, Jiu Lu’er, and the six other people to sit at the table next door. The Pill Chamber immediately became crowded, but it was really lively.

The relatives and friends of the two old newlyweds in the straw hut gathered there. They could be considered as witnesses of that historic moment…

Jiu Wu pulled Li Changshou’s arm and winked at him.

“Has this matter been settled? Or is it being settled now?”

Li Changshou smiled without saying anything.

To be honest, he did not dare to jump to conclusions about what those two people were doing behind closed doors…

According to common sense, the two of them should be carrying out some indescribable things.

However, Exalted Wang Qing could use an Enlightenment Manual as an immortal cultivation technique. The current situation might… develop into something uncertain.

Exalted Wang Qing’s third disciple, Jiu Ping, showed up at the Little Qiong Peak for the first time. She was a beautiful female Qi Refinement cultivator with a hint of heroic aura. She was at the peak of the Perfected Immortal realm and was not far from breaking through to the Heaven Immortal realm.

Jiu Ping smiled and said, “Old Wu, don’t ask around. Master has already activated the array. The deed must have been done.” Jiu Wu sighed. “You know our master’s character… Third Senior Sister.”

Jiu Shi frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “I’m really worried. I wonder if Master knows what to do about this. Ah, if only I could hear the commotion inside.”

Jiu Lu’er blinked. “But we can’t… go to the corner and eavesdrop…”

Their eyes lit up. “Ahem.” Li Changshou reminded them, “Uncle-Masters, Aunt-Masters, the cultivation level of Uncle-Grandmaster Wang Qing is unfathomable. We should not be able to creep up on them without disturbing and alarming them… That would only scare them.” “I have a solution!”

Jiu Jiu suddenly stood up with her hands on her waist. “I left a voice transmission conch in Aunt-Master Jiang Lin’er’s room! I originally wanted to see if this Uncle-Master had any weaknesses so that we can counter them. I never thought that hehe… it would be useful!”

As she spoke, Jiu Jiu took out another fist-sized white-jade conch from her sleeve.

Without waiting for them to speak, she raised her hand and tapped the conch in her hand, activating the restriction.

It was so silent in the Pill Chamber that a pin could be heard dropping. The few of them held their breaths and heard a weak, intermittent conversation coming from the conch… “Is this really not a cultivation technique?” Exalted Wang Qing asked.

“Of course not.” Jiang Lin’er sighed. “Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. This is what your disciple taught you about getting intimate in the bedroom. If you want me to have children, we will do it according to this method! Don’t, don’t think too much. When I was wandering outside, I saw too many of these things in the mortal towns…”

In the Pill Chamber, a group of figures gathered beside the conch and looked at each other as they held back their laughter.

Then, they heard Exalted Wang Qing say, “It’s actually this matter. Little Wu is worried… In that case, we…”

Crack!

That should be the sound of Jiang Lin’er slapping the table. “Seriously! I can’t hold it in anymore! Say it! Do you want a child? Answer me straightforwardly!”

“I, I… Lin’er, I’m about to transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation. I don’t have much confidence in it. I want to leave my bloodline…”

“Come here, lie down and take off your clothes!”

“Alright, what should I do?”

“Wow… Are you really going to embarrass me to death? Why are you still asking me what you should do at this time?!” Jiang Lin’er could not help but laugh and scold him. Then, she stammered…

“Just… just… I heard that you should actually just… move as you wish.” “I roughly understand…” All of a sudden, in the Pill Chamber, a slender hand reached out from the side and grabbed the mystical conch.

The group of people who were all immersed in eavesdropping looked up, only to meet a pair of angry eyes. They saw the owner of the slender hand, who was dressed in a snow-white robe, after which they shivered. It was Jiu Yiyi who had a cold expression!

“You guys!”

Jiu Yiyi shouted angrily and crushed the conch. “How dare you eavesdrop on Master and Aunt-Master? You are really itching for a beating! Seriously! Aren’t you afraid that Junior Brother Qi Yuan and the others will laugh at you!?!”

Jiu Wu and the others shivered. Qi Yuan lowered his head in shame and guilt.

He was very excited when listening just now.

Jiu Yiyi wanted to scold him again, but Li Changshou had already explained a few things to her and used the art of communication.

Jiu Yiyi’s expression became mellower and she asked, “Are you really worried that Master will misunderstand?” “Yes, yes.” The immortals in the Pill Chamber hurriedly nodded.

“Then, let’s forget about this.” Jiu Yiyi shook her head slightly. She looked at the steaming hot pot and said, “Drink less wine. Don’t cause a delay in your cultivation.”

Then, she turned around and left.

Jiu Jiu looked at the sea conch fragments on the ground and felt wronged.

She was poor to begin with. In order to exchange for that pair of Dharma treasures for eavesdropping, she had put in a lot of effort…

However…

Jiu Wu muttered, “What did Eldest Senior Sister come here for?” The six immortals looked at each other and could not help but smile.

Perhaps it was because Exalted Wang Qing was too dull that he needed Jiang Lin’er to take the initiative to make some things happen. As his disciples, Jiu Wu and the others were also a little embarrassed.

In the following hotpot banquet, Jiu Wu and the others kept toasting Qi Yuan, calling him “junior brother’. They almost changed Qi Yuan’s name to ‘Jiu Shi’ on the spot.

When they addressed Jiang Lin’er, they had changed from Aunt-Master uncle to ‘Master’s Wife’.

Li Changshou, Ling’e, and Xiong Lingli sat in a corner. Xiong Lingli only focused on eating and drinking. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

While they were getting noisy when drinking, Ling’e muttered softly, “Senior Brother, do you want… a child…” “Karma, thank you for your kindness. Copy the Steadiness Sutra a thousand times.”

“Yes!”

Ling’e grimaced and turned around with a flushed face. “I was just asking casually. Hmph…”

Li Changshou smiled.

The aroma of the wine in the cup was strong, and the white steam was churning.

In the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, the people seated at the two tables gradually walked around. Jiu Wu looked for Qi Yuan and drank wine together with him, while Jiu Jiu went over to snatch the meat from Xiong Lingli. Ling’e, on the other hand, was busy walking around. She kept replenishing the dishes, refilling the wine, and making seasonings. Li Changshou looked at the scene in front of him. He did not know if it was because he was close to the calamity, but he actually felt a little emotional.

Just like in his previous life, when he saw many people gathered together, he felt inexplicably touched… Brother Sect Master? Brother Sect Master?

Li Changshou, who was holding a glass of wine, frowned slightly. He instructed Ling’e before leaving the Pill Chamber quietly. Jiu Jiu blinked and wondered, “Where did Little Changshou go?”

Ling’e hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, go get some new dishes.”

“New dishes?” Jiu Jiu chuckled and patted her slightly bloated belly, causing a huge commotion. “It’s the best to follow Little Changshou. There won’t be a lack of good food, drinks, and fun. I’m bored to death cultivating alone!”

Lingle smiled and said, “Maybe after today, my Grandmaster will move to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.”

Jiu Jiu’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She ran over to hug Ling’e and cheered, causing others to be confused.

Li Changshou sensed Ao Yi’s spiritual will transmission and immediately focused his attention on the statue of the City God of Anshui.

According to the customs of the dragon race, shouldn’t the Second Sect Master not leave his house for three months?

Could it be that he is holding his beautiful wife in his arms again and is coming to show off to an old pure Yang like me…

This time, it really wasn’t the case.

Ao Yi looked anxious. After meeting Li Changshou in his dream, he did not hesitate and said, “Brother Sect Master, I just brought Sisi back to the Golden Ao Island. Everyone on the Golden Ao Island is spreading that you have bewitched Uncle-Master Zhao Gongming and are trying to stir up conflict between the Western Sect and the Jie School!”

Li Changshou raised his eyebrows.

The Western Sect had some technical skills this time.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “This is just a rumor. The wise will not worry.”

“A few senior brothers have already come to the Sea God Temple to ask you about it. I stopped them,” Ao Yi said in a low voice. “Sect Master, your reputation has been affected. This might be the Western Sect’s doing… They have secretly attacked. What should I do?”

“Don’t worry,” Li Changshou said gently. “Let me think of a plan for this. You don’t have to be anxious. If there is really any adverse effect, I would at most ask Senior Zhao Gongming to clarify it.”

Ao Yi was stunned… “Can you invite this senior just like that?”

“What do you think?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Why do you think those people back then retreated? At that time, a few disciples of the Saint from the other side wanted to go to the Dragon Palace to show their faces. However, they were stopped by Senior Gongming. It’s probably because of this that the other party schemed against us.” Ao Yi’s eyes flashed and he looked ashamed. He lowered his head and said, “Brother… Sect Master, please accept a bow from me!”

“Don’t bow.” Li Changshou raised his hand to support himself. He had already come up with a plan in his heart. He said, “You don’t have to bother about this matter. If the immortals from Jie School come to look for you, ask them to come to Anshui City. I’ll be waiting for them anytime.”

Ao Yi immediately nodded and agreed before leaving in a hurry.

After ending the spiritual communication, Li Changshou pondered.

Actually, he was not as calm as he appeared in front of Ao Yi. When he was choosing new herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden, he was constantly thinking about how to deal with that matter.

Did the Western Sect change their hands? The soft attack caused him to be extremely passive. Half a day later, six Jie School immortals from Anshui City came and headed straight for the Sea God Temple. The one leading them was a female immortal in the Golden Immortal realm.

At that moment, the hotpot banquet on Little Qiong Peak had already ended. Ling’e, Jiu Jiu, and Xiong Lingli had already gone to the chess room to play. His master was meditating in the Pill Chamber.

In the straw hut by the lake… there was still no movement. The barrier was guarding it tightly. Li Changshou shook his head and closed his eyes. He focused his attention on the temple and activated a paper effigy.

He looked at the painting of mountains and rivers hanging in the middle of his back hall… He already had a solution to deal with it.
