âUncle-Grandmaster? How is the Sect Leader?â In front of the Immortal Du Sectâs Immortal Du Hall, Li Changshou, Jiang Linâer, and Youqin Xuanya, who had just returned to the Immortal Du Sect for an hour, hurriedly went up to welcome them when they saw Exalted Wang Qing and a few elders entering from the inner hall.
Li Changshou asked that question with concern. Exalted Wang Qing could not help but smile bitterly.
Exalted Wang Qing said, âSect Leader has already gone into seclusion to recuperate. Previously, he had only injured his Essence Soul by shaking himself. He will recover after resting for a hundred years.â
The few of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Unstoppable, truly unstoppable!
When it happened, they were on the way back from outer spaceâŚ
Li Changshou heard from Sect Leader Ji Wuyou that the divine power was the Connate Qi in oneâs orifices. He felt that something was amiss and immediately sent a message to Exalted Wang Qing, saying that the Sect Leader had been injured by that mystical ability.
To be safe, he naturally had to make Exalted Wang Qing go persuade the Sect Leader to give up that unreliable mystical ability⌠However, just as Li Changshou finished speaking to Exalted Wang Qing, the Sect Leader said, âIâll show you guys some moves!â
Then, he took a deep breath and wisps of white smoke gathered in front of his nose. His face instantly turned bright purple! âHmph!â
A slight ripple appeared in the void ahead!
HoweverâŚ
âPfft!â
A mouthful of blood spewed out from the Sect Leaderâs mouth. The four of them were so frightened that their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly stood up and rushed forward.
Then, that was it.
Although the Sect Leader kept saying that he was fine, that everything was alright, and that it was a small problem, the blood had already dyed his green robe red. The few of them were shocked and nervous.
Exalted Wang Qing rode the cloud for the rest of the journey while Jiang Linâer helped the Sect Leader stabilize his injuries.
Fortunately, Li Changshou was beside the Sect Leader. There was still quite a bit of immortal power left in the paper effigyâs body.
While Li Changshou was supporting the Sect Leader, he took advantage when Exalted Wang Qing and Jiang Linâer were not noticing him and infused his immortal power into the Sect Leaderâs body, helping him stabilize his aura and essence soulâŚ
After returning to the Immortal Du Sect, Exalted Wang Qing had alarmed a few elders. It took them an hour to confirm that the Sect Leader was fineâŚ
One of the Grand Elders said in a low voice, âItâs best not to tell anyone about the Sect Leaderâs injury. It might cause the disciples to panic.â
The few of them agreed and accepted the order.
Since the Sect Leader was already in seclusion to recuperate, it was not convenient for them to look around. Thus, they returned to their respective peaks.
The little tree spirit had almost recovered from its injuries. However, due to the damage to its true spirit, it was still sleeping in Jiang Linâerâs palm. It would probably need some time to recuperate.
On the way back to the five continents, Youqin Xuanya had learned a lot from Li Changshouâs lecture. She had gained a lot of insight. At that moment, she bade Li Changshou farewell for the time being and returned to her Cave Abode to meditate and cultivate.
It could be said that she was very hardworking. According to the old rules, Li Changshou rode a cloud and returned to the Little Qiong Peak.
Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry at the thought of the Sect Leader practicing his mystical abilities.
Is it that difficult to cultivate Perfected Duâeâs double Qi in orifice? According to Li Changshouâs observation, he seemed to have refined a Connate Qi and then released it in a way similar to âwaveââŚ
When the Connate Qi surged out, it would naturally produce sounds like âHmphâ or âHahâ. If he refined that mystical ability, it could actually be replaced with âAhâ or âWahâ.
However, before the battle, it would be too strange to scream or exclaim.
I might as well âhumâ, âhengâ, and âhaâ. Then, everyone will gather around the fire to dance and sing a song, âWho is it that sent you to my mouthâ.
Just kidding, just kidding.
When Li Changshou returned to the Little Qiong Peak, he used his immortal senses to see what his Little Junior Sister was doing and chose different âreward setsâ according to her behavior.
This time, Lingâe did not disappoint Li Changshou. She was at a pool in the back of the mountain, playing with Little Aunt-Master and Xiong Lingli.
Li Changshou stood in front of the Pill Chamber and looked at it with his immortal senses.
Lingâe laughed till her hair was in a mess. Little Aunt-Masterâs clothes were a little messy again. Xiong Lingli was like a child who weighed hundreds of kilograms. She swung a huge net that was hundreds of feet wide and happily chased after the two people in front of her.
âForget it. I wonât punish you this time.â
Li Changshou shook his head. The paper effigy had returned to the Pill Chamber and was quietly thinking about how to deal with the Golden Immortal Tribulation.
After watching the previous tribulation, Lingâeâs attitude towards cultivation had changed. Her cultivation duration had increased significantly. Every time she played with Jiu Jiu and Xiong Lingli, she would control herself and keep it to four hours.
Li Changshou was pleased with Lingleâs improvement.
At the very least, the Tribulation Transcendence set that he had prepared for her would not be uselessâŚ
âAunt-Masterâs matter has been settled for now.â
Li Changshou did not think too much about it. He recalled what he had seen and heard in the Netherworld. He took out a few pieces of cloth and wrote in detail what he thought he could do to obtain merit.
The Magi had always been honest and naive.
Of course, there were wise ones among the Magi. However, most of them were not very smart.
From the fact that Gonggong and Zhurong, the two ancestral Magi, could be secretly provoked into a life-and-death battle, it could be verifiedâŚ
It was reasonable for the Magi to be in charge of the Netherworld and the Fengdu Reincarnation.
Li Changshou understood that he did not know much about the Netherworld. His understanding of the Netherworld was limited.
Someone once said that without the support of intelligence, he could not make a conclusion.
Li Changshou did not dare to make any conclusions about the matter of the Netherworld. He still had to wait for the time when he needed to plan for merit in the future. He had to go to the Netherworld to investigate and prepare himself before earning a huge amount of merit!
It could not be helped. The Golden Merit Body was one of the effective defensive methods when facing a Saint.
Life and death are not trivial. You only live once.
In Li Changshouâs plan, earning merit would be a âcareerâ that he would strive for in the future!
Merit was equivalent to the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. If one did not consider jumping out of the world, the more merit there was, the better. First, he would do something about it. Then, he would obtain a ten-foot-tall Golden Body and a few Postnatal Merit treasures!
UhâŚ
Li Changshou, who was thinking about the matter of the Netherworld, suddenly laughed.
In his previous life, when he was a mortal, he went to great lengths to make himself feel more comfortable and relaxed. He had also put in that much effort.
In this life, although he had more leisure in the mountains, more gorgeous immortal paths, more mystical abilities, and Dharma spells, his nature had not changed.
That was probably the nature of living beings.
He had always been a common person. âOthers laugh at me for being poor, while I laugh at others for having their corpses turn cold.â
Eh? Thatâs also counted as a coincidence?
He had unexpectedly achieved a critical breakthrough in his poetic career!
Three days after returning to the sect, Jiang Linâer, who had moved to the Wang Qing Residence, âsilentlyâ went to Little Qiong Peak and launched a righteous attack on Jiu Jiu, who was fishing by the lake.
The scene was very chaotic. Jiu Jiu, who was unwilling to be suppressed, fought back with all her might. In the end, she and Jiang Linâer fell into the water together, causing Little Lingâe and Xiong Lingli to watch from afar and
laugh.
A moment later, Jiu Jiu carried the guilt that she could not hide and cried in the shade of the tree.
Jiang Linâer, who was standing at the side, was in a good mood. She pinched her waist and laughed for a while. Then, she called Lingâe and Xiong Lingli over to announce something big!
However, Jiang Linâer rolled her eyes and sighed.
âWell, Little Jiu, I wonât play with you anymore.â
Jiu Jiu, who was pretending to be crying, was stunned. She pretended to be weak and rubbed her eyes, saying softly, âHmph, I wonât believe you!â
âXiao Jiu, do you know?â
Jiang Linâer looked up at the sky and said in an ethereal voice, âAll these years, I know that you have been blaming me for offending you but this is a way for me to express my love for you! However, I wonâtâŚâ
Lingâe suddenly had a bad premonition. She hurriedly asked, âGrandmaster, what happened to you?â
Jiang Linâer sighed softly. Suddenly, she lowered her head and muttered, âNever
again.â
Even Jiu Jiu, the victim, could not help but feel a little bewildered. She stood up and walked over, covering her short linen shirt and asking softly, âAunt-Master, are you alright?â Xiong Lingli whispered, âI feel that this situation is like a pre-death explanation in a storyâŚâ âPui! Pui!â
Lingâe raised her hand and hit Xiong Lingli lightly. She chided, âAunt-Master, donât say such unlucky words! Why would something happen to Grandmaster!?!â
Immediately, Jiu Jiu, Lingâe, and Xiong Lingli surrounded Jiang Linâer and kept asking her about Jiang Linâer.
True Rustic Little Qiong Peak.
Jiang Linâer pursed her lips and asked softly, âLittle Jiu, donât you blame me?â
Jiu Jiu pondered for a while and said softly, âAunt-Master, although you always bully others, itâs a good thing that youâre also a woman. Itâs not a big deal to fight and play with me. I just canât retaliate, so Iâm a little frustrated. Actually, you⌠are pretty good to me.â
Jiang Linâerâs eyes were filled with gratitude. She asked gently, âThen, can you let me get some of your luck for the last time?â Jiu Jiu smiled bitterly and said, âAunt-Master, donât be like this. If I want to find a Dao companion in the future, others might mindâŚâ
âI only have one wish now, Little JiuâŚâ
âThen, you, oh!â
Jiu Jiu closed her eyes tightly and puffed out her chest. She gritted her teeth and said, âIâm drunk and I fell asleep. I donât know anything!â
âAlright!â
Jiang Linâerâs eyes lit up. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and slowly raised her evil hands.
Beside her, Lingâe could not help but support her forehead with one hand and pretend that she did not see that scene.
Eldest Aunt-Master was really being bullied by her little GrandmasterâŚ
At this moment!
âAhem!â
A light cough came from the side. Li Changshou rode a cloud slowly and smiled from afar. âGrandmaster, howâs the tree spiritâs injury?â
Jiang Linâer paused and rolled her eyes.
Rascal, you have ruined my plans! However, Li Changshou had already appeared. Jiang Linâer could only raise her hands and pat Jiu Jiu on the shoulder.
Even if they were fooling around, Jiang Linâer could not let Jiu Jiu lose out in that aspect. Li Changshou would think that it was cheap. Jiang Linâer supported Jiu Jiuâs shoulders and said earnestly, âIn the future, I will be your Masterâs wife. I canât continue to fool around with you like this. Come, Little Jiu. Call me Aunt-Master.â Jiu Jiu was speechless.
If it wasnât because she couldnât defeat her, she would have pounced on her!
When Li Changshou flew over, Jiang Linâer took out a piece of jade that was emitting a light green color. When the jade was opened, a three-inch-tall paper doll emerged from it and looked around timidly.
Lingâeâs eyes lit up. âCould this be Aunt-MasterâŚâ
âShh!â
Jiang Linâer gestured for her to keep quiet. âThis is just a tree spirit. Donât think too much about it. Well, Iâm currently in a very close relationship with Jiu Jiuâs master. Itâs not good for me to keep her in Wang Qing Residence. Changshou, Lingâe, Iâll give you a big task today! After rearing this little tree spirit, I will let her live in peace for the rest of her life and investigate in the Netherworld. It will only be less than ten years.â
Li Changshou and Lingâe nodded solemnly. Lingâe said confidently, âGrandmaster, donât worry. We will definitely not let⌠the little tree spirit suffer any grievances!â âWell.â Jiang Linâer smiled and said, âThe tree spirit is ultimately different from us humans. She only has a simple intelligence. Just place her on a treeâŚâ
Jiang Linâer carefully gave a few instructions before handing the tree spirit over to Li Changshou and Lingâe. Then, she rode on a cloud in a relaxed manner.
Perhaps she felt that Lingâe was a little gentler than the rest of them.
The little tree spirit hugged Lingâeâs fingers and knelt on her palm. It closed its eyes gently and did not dare to face the unfamiliar environment.
A few faces came over from the side and filled up the Tree Spiritâs vision.
Xiong Lingli exclaimed softly, âWow, Cousin, how can humans be so small?â
âThis is a spirit.â Li Changshou smiled and said, âTo be precise, she doesnât have a physical body. Itâs similar to the essence soul of a human.â
Jiu Jiu asked curiously, âWhat is this tree spiritâs relationship with your Grandmaster? A pet?â
Li Changshou smiled awkwardly and said, âSheâs not a pet. Sheâs the reincarnation of a good friend of Grandmaster. When the tree spiritâs lifespan is exhausted, we will send her into reincarnation and reincarnate.â
Jiu Jiu was enlightened. She raised her hand and poked the tree spiritâs soft body.
The tree spirit let out a soft âahâ and tightened its grip on Lingâeâs fingers.
Seeing that, Xiong Lingliâs eyes lit up with love. She placed her two big fists by her mouth, looking shyâŚ
âThe tree spirit is so cute!â
Li Changshou smiled calmly and instructed them how to take care of the tree spirit. Then, he left.
What Li Changshou did not expect was⌠normally, tree spirits would drink morning mew and absorb spiritual energy. After a few days, their new tree spirit learned how to drink wine and eat meat.
When Li Changshou saw the little tree spirit again, the latter was wearing a small immortal dress and sitting on Xiong Lingliâs shoulder.
It opened its mouth and looked rather ferociousâŚ
As such, spring passed, autumn arrived, and summer arrived.
Seven years had passed unknowingly in the sect.
The tribulation heat in the Immortal Du Sect had already begun. It was estimated that it would continue for about ten years. Li Changshou found an opportunity to go out for a walk and accidentally passed the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
The Immortal Du Sect expressed their congratulations. The Sect Leader, who had been in seclusion recently to recuperate, even ordered the Elder to give the latter half of the Inaction Sutra to Li Changshou.
Unfortunately, Li Changshou did not dare to look at them anymore. If he looked at them again, he would not be able to do anything even if he severed the Dao Realm.
His identity had also officially changed from an immortal seedling in the sect to a new immortal. He was hidden among more ordinary disciples.
With the chaos in the four seas, the plot of the Western Sect, and the rise of the Heavenly Courts⌠Li Changshouâs disguise as an ordinary disciple of the Immortal Du Sect was getting more and more powerful. It could not be taken off casually.
Just as Li Changshou was making his calculations, he realized that there should be another wave of trouble caused by the Western Sect. Something that was closely related to him was happening
In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall of the Heavenly Courts.
