chapter 253

Bian Zhuang? Li Changshou was also a little stunned. He took a closer look and sensed the other party’s aura and Dao runes before realizing that he had not seen wrongly. Isn’t this fellow the young master of the World Edge Pavilion? Why are you… planting beans here? “Ao Yi.”

Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to remind him. Ao Yi, who was a little obsessed with the scenery, suddenly realized something. He immediately put away the sword in his hand and frowned slightly. “Brother Sect Master, why is this person in the Heavenly Courts?” “I don’t know either.” Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “Let’s go to the Tushita Palace to meet the Grand Supreme Elder first before coming over to ask him about this matter.”

Ao Yi nodded and answered. He and Li Changshou continued to rush to the Tushita Palace. His expression gradually eased up as he calmed down.

In front of the Tushita Palace, a boy had been waiting for a long time. He said that the Grand Supreme Elder wanted Changgeng to enter. Ao Yi also knew that Li Changshou wanted to bring him to meet the Saint’s incarnation. However, the Saint’s incarnation was obviously unwilling to see him. He hurriedly said, “Brother, hurry and enter. I’ll wait outside.” It was because the opportunity had yet to arrive.

Before Li Changshou entered the Tushita Palace, he specially sent a voice transmission to Ao Yi to tell him not to wander around and to wait there. Ao Yi solemnly agreed… At that moment, Li Changshou carried his horsetail whisk and followed the boy into the door that had only a crack. Li Changshou was slightly surprised to step into the Tushita Palace.

The Tushita Palace that he was thinking about should have a mysterious array formation. There were Spirit Pills floating everywhere, and Dao children formed from the Connate Spirit Root running on the ground… However, when he arrived, he saw a large courtyard, a large pavilion that could barely be considered a hall, and a few common spirit trees of the Heavenly Courts that were not withered… Li Changshou carefully sensed something and detected a wisp of obscure Dao runes that seemed to be indistinct and filled the entire Tushita Palace.

The Dao runes of the Saint’s incarnation!

It was the Dao runes of a Saint!

Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart. For some reason, he felt a strong sense of respect for the existence that he had yet to see in the square hall. At that moment, a dry cough came from ahead. A familiar figure pushed open the door of the hall and smiled at Li Changshou. Great Daoist Master! Uh, he was still sleepy and could not help but yawn…

The Great Daoist Master teased, “Little Silver, I asked you to fetch the disciples of Ren School and the newly-promoted Sea God. Why did you bring back a paper effigy?” Paper effigy?

The boy looked at Li Changshou curiously. Li Changshou subconsciously looked at his body and realized that there was nothing wrong with the paper effigy. Following that, Li Changshou understood that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was protecting him. He wanted to teased him first so that the Grand Supreme Elder would not be unhappy. Come to think of it… Little Silver? That silly Silver-Horned King? Do you dare to answer when I call you?

Li Changshou looked at the boy who might not be too smart. He smiled warmly and hurriedly bowed to the Great Daoist Master. “My main body wants to focus on cultivation and form the Golden Immortal Dao as soon as possible. Therefore, I went to the Heavenly Courts in the form of an incarnation to help His Majesty, the Jade Emperor. Great Daoist Master, you agreed previously, didn’t you…”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and squinted. “Come in. The Grand Supreme Elder has been waiting for you for half a day.”

Li Changshou’s request to exchange glances with the Great Daoist Master was cut off by the Great Daoist Master’s blink of an eye. Instead, he gave Li Changshou a reassuring smile. In short, he would kowtow without saying anything after entering. Everything the Saint said was right! Yes, to be safe, he had to be suspicious. He had to consider the possibility that the Great Daoist Master had fooled him, that this place might be a fake Heavenly Courts, that he might have accidentally entered a dream while cultivating… and so on. There was no harm in bowing more. The Great Daoist Master turned around and entered the hall. Li Changshou lowered his head and followed behind.

After entering, he immediately saw the very eye-catching Violet Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace. The furnace was rather large and almost occupied half of the hall. The first thing that came to Li Changshou’s mind when he saw the furnace was the word “beautiful”. The appearance of the Eight Trigrams Furnace was extremely charming, and every curve was subtly aligned with the Great Dao.

Before he could take a closer look, Li Changshou’s attention had already shifted to the old man sitting in front of the Eight Trigrams Furnace… How should I describe this old man?

At first glance, he looks ordinary. Then, he looks benevolent. At the third glance, he looks like a child with white hair. At the fourth glance, he looks like he has a boundless Dao Realm. However, after I close my eyes, I do not have any impression of him. He can’t even retain the image of the Grand Supreme Elder… “I, Disciple Li Changshou, greets the Grand Supreme Elder! Please forgive me for coming as a paper effigy, Grand Supreme Elder!” The Grand Supreme Elder seemed to smile, but he also seemed like he did not.

“Sit.”

Li Changshou seemed to have heard wrongly. He was stunned for a moment before he stood up and sat on the meditation cushion that had appeared out of thin air. The Grand Supreme Elder continued, “Today, I’ll teach you the three volumes of the Dao of alchemy.”

“Thank you, Grand Supreme Elder!”

“Yes.” The Grand Supreme Elder nodded slowly and looked at a certain Great Daoist Master who was about to leave through the back door of the hall. “Come back.” “Ah, I’m here.” The Great Daoist Master agreed and walked over quietly. He tried his best to smile peacefully. “Grand Supreme Elder, I don’t like alchemy.”

Another meditation cushion appeared in front of Li Changshou. Although the Great Daoist Master said that he did not like it, he could only sit on it obediently. There was a deeper meaning to the seat. However, Li Changshou knew that he had already obtained the approval of the Grand Supreme Elder! The Grand Supreme Elder widened his eyes. “Quiet.”

The Great Daoist Master sat even more upright, as if he wanted to continue maintaining… the dignity of the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect in front of Li Changshou. Li Changshou muttered in his heart, Why does the Great Daoist Master seem like he’s afraid of listening to the Grand Supreme Elder’s preaching… Today, the Grand Supreme Elder was going to teach him the Dao of alchemy. This should not cause him to experience the Golden Immortal Tribulation. Furthermore, he could not reject the Grand Supreme Elder’s wish to impart the Dao. There was nothing he could do about the Golden Immortal Tribulation. Soon, Li Changshou understood why the Great Daoist Master had sneaked away… The Grand Supreme Elder did not speak. He just remained seated quietly. An azure lotus that was spinning slowly appeared in his palm. Two petals flew out from the azure lotus. One of them disappeared, and the other landed on the Great Daoist Master’s forehead. The Great Daoist Master trembled and fainted.

This?

Before Li Changshou could blink, he realized something. The main body hidden in the vase in the corner of the secret underground chamber of Little Qiong Peak opened his eyes. A petal covered his entire vision and landed on his forehead.

With a bang, the vase shattered!

Li Changshou’s body was lying in the corner of the secret chamber, surrounded by wisps of Dao runes…

In Li Changshou’s heart, a large number ofno, a massive number of alchemy techniques emerged! It was no longer enlightenment. It was just forcefully stuffing the water of the ocean into a small fish pond! The fish pond was still safe and sound. It was beginning to passively accept! “The methods of the Saint are really mysterious…”

Li Changshou did not have time to think. His mind was completely immersed in the Dao of alchemy.

He was submerged in water and did not know what to do.

The flood lasted for three years…

“Ling’e, why hasn’t your senior brother appeared in the past few years…? Hurry up and take your tiles, Ling’e.” In the chess room of Little Qiong Peak, Jiu Jiu yawned and asked. Ling’e smiled and said, “I’ve been in seclusion all this while. I don’t know about this. Hehe, Two Dots? I’ll Pong! My senior brother should be cultivating in seclusion. Aunt-Master, do you not have any wine to drink? I don’t have any here either.” “Hmph, do I not have a senior brother?”

Jiu Jiu could not help but roll her eyes. Then, she smacked her lips and said, “Well, the wine that Fifth Senior Brother brewed is a little tastier than the wine that Little Changshou brewed… Xuanya, it’s your turn.” “Yes…”

Youqin Xuanya held the jade stone in her hand and compared it with the patterns on the other jade stones. Recently, she had just come into contact with the newly-advanced conservation project of Little Qiong Peak, so she was not very good at it.

She said in a low voice, “I want to use this tile that you discarded and then use this jade stone that has four thin bars carved on it… Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Senior Brother Changshou in a long time. I miss him a little.”

“Oh?” Jiu Jiu smiled and squinted. She looked at Youqin Xuanya and then at Ling’e. She suddenly realized that both of them were very calm.

There is no fun in eating this melon. Xiong Lingli picked up the jade stone that Youqin Xuanya had just thrown out with her big hand. “Run, Five Points.” Jiu Jiu shouted softly, “Look at my Heaven Immortal Hand!”

After saying that, she took the piece of jade that was the furthest from the pile of jade, which was in the shape of a rectangle. Then, her eyes lit up and her sins trembled. She spread out the jade token in front of her and shouted excitedly, “Self-pick! All clear! Hurry up, Spirit Stones!” Ling’e and Xiong Lingli immediately complained. Youqin Xuanya smiled warmly. The three of them took out a few Spirit Stones and handed them to Jiu Jiu.

Jiu Jiu laughed uncontrollably, her eyes sparkling… The mahjong competition in the Primordial World continued.

Half a day later, the four of them went to the spiritual beast enclosure and chose two spiritual beasts that looked like they were hungry and hated the world. In order to fulfill their desires, they brought them to the lake to enjoy the scenery… Then, they set up the barbecue rack, prepared the fine wine and dishes, and began to sing over the wine tonight. “It has indeed been a long time since Senior Brother last appeared.”

Ling’e looked at the paper effigy in her sleeve and muttered worriedly.

That situation was indeed very abnormal. He had already been out of seclusion for more than half a year, yet her senior brother had not come to reprimand her… Jiu Jiu asked softly, “Did something happen to him during cultivation?” “That’s impossible,” Ling’e hurriedly said. “Senior Brother doesn’t cultivate fast or goes for credit. Every step he takes is stable. There will definitely not be any problems.” Youqin Xuanya asked, “Did Senior Brother Changshou leave any Seclusion Stones behind?”

“This…”

Lingle shook her head and could not help but look worried.

The so-called Seclusion Stone was a type of Dharma artifact. It could sense the state of the Qi Refinement cultivators when they were cultivating in seclusion. If they went crazy or encountered danger, they could remind their friends and family to treat them. Some things were better left unsaid. Once they were mentioned, one would not stop thinking about it. Then, they would fall into a strange circle…

Soon, Jiu Jiu, Youqin Xuanya, and Ling’e began to worry. Ling’e said, “Every time Senior Brother goes into seclusion, he would inform me in advance. This time, he did not…” The three senior experts of the Little Qiong Peak foodie team could no longer sit still. Only Xiong Lingli knew that her cousin was an omnipotent Sea God and did not feel worried. “No, I have to go and take a look!” Jiu Jiu said. “He went into seclusion without saying anything, what if something happens?” Youqin Xuanya hummed softly and said in a low voice, “If we disturb Senior Brother, wouldn’t that ruin his cultivation?” Jiu Jiu waved her hand. “At most, you and Ling’e can repay me with your bodies!” “Aunt-Master!” Ling’e blushed, but she looked worried.

Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips calmly and said, “Aunt-Master, don’t joke like that. It will ruin Senior Brother Changshou’s reputation.” Ling’e said, “In this case, I’ll go to the vicinity of the Pill Chamber and take a walk. If Senior Brother is not in seclusion, he will activate the array formation outside the Pill Chamber for me.”

“Let’s go. Lingli, you continue roasting here. The three of us will go over.” Jiu Jiu called out and brought Ling’e and Youqin Xuanya to the edge of the array formation outside the Pill Chamber.

When they arrived, they could sense the spiritual energy flowing in the forest ahead. The three of them waited quietly for a while… Youqin Xuanya could not help but ask, “Is there a way to enter the array formation?” Ling’e and Jiu Jiu shook their heads. The three of them were even more worried.

Jiu Jiu shouted, “Little Changshou…” The sound of the shout entered the array formation without any response. At that moment, a certain disciple of Ren School, whose mind was still filled with a large amount of information and was about to complete the Dao acceptance, was disturbed by the yelling

Little Aunt-Master… Ling’e… Xuan…

Although Li Changshou could not escape from the “teaching procedure”, he could still focus a little. He barely raised his hand to form a hand seal and opened the array formation passage that his junior sister had specially used… “Ling’e, Xuanya? Has the array formation here been activated?” Jiu Jiu pointed to the forest in front and asked curiously.

Ling’e took out a piece of jade and looked at the flickering green light on the jade. She heaved a sigh of relief. “Senior Brother, you’re fine. Do we still have to go in?” “Of course! We’re already here! Let’s go and see what he’s up to!” At that moment, Jiu Jiu grabbed one of them and pulled them into the forest. Li Changshou, who had just opened the array formation’s path, lost his perception of the outside world once again…

Fortunately, his main body was lying in the secret underground chamber. There was only a paper effigy lying in the Pill Chamber. That was what Jiu Jiu and the other two saw… The Pill Chamber was covered in a thin layer of dust. Li Changshou lay in front of the Pill Furnace with a peaceful expression. He closed his eyes quietly and did not breathe much… “Senior Brother!”

Ling’e could not help but tremble. She hurriedly rushed forward. However, Youqin Xuanya’s cultivation level was slightly higher. At that moment, she appeared beside Li Changshou. She knelt and raised her hand. She placed a slender finger on Li Changshou’s wrist and closed her eyes to feel it.

“His immortal power is still functioning normally, and the power of his essence soul is stable,” Youqin Xuanya said softly. “It doesn’t seem to be a big deal.” “Why is he lying down?”

Jiu Jiu frowned and leaned over. She knelt on Li Changshou’s head and tapped his forehead with her finger to sense it carefully. Ling’e seemed to have recalled something. She knelt on the other side and pinched her senior brother’s fingers gently. It felt… hard… After carefully experiencing it, she realized that it was indeed her senior brother’s paper effigy. Jiu Jiu said seriously, “According to my diagnosis, he should have fallen asleep because he was mentally exhausted. He might have been too tired from refining pills previously. Sometimes, it is too tiring for Qi Refinement cultivators to refine pills and practice alchemy. They would indeed fall into a deep sleep. There is no need to worry… Normally, in such a situation, he would only need a female Qi Refinement cultivator to use her mouth-to-mouth technique to expel a feminine aura. That way, he would be able to wake up immediately. Both of you are his junior sisters. Who’s going to do it?” “Is that true?”

“This matter…”

Ling’e looked at Youqin Xuanya, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and a spark flashed across them.

Jiu Jiu covered her mouth and giggled.

“Let me do it.”

Youqin Xuanya said softly. Her gaze was firm, and her heart did not waver.

Ling’e frowned slightly. She wanted to remind her that it was his incarnation, but she was afraid of exposing his secret…

Moreover, she felt a little uncomfortable…

Ling’e braced herself and said, “Senior Sister, let me do it. I’ve been brought up by Senior Brother since I was young. I’m closer to him. Senior Brother will not dislike this.”

Jiu Jiu quickly moved a wooden stool over and grabbed a handful of spiritual melon seeds. She entered a state of watching the show. Her big eyes…

Brilliant!

Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips and seemed to want to continue. Ling’e sighed in her heart. She was afraid that the matter of her senior brother’s incarnation would be exposed, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere. The two of them looked at each other but neither of them wanted to give in…

Suddenly, Li Changshou, who was lying down, let out a soft groan. He raised his hand to support his forehead and opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with confusion as he said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t cause trouble. I’m having a headache now…” Li Changshou slowly sat up. Ling’e and Youqin hurriedly helped him up. Jiu Jiu, who was behind him, instantly put away her melon seeds and stool. She knelt there obediently, her eyes filled with worry for her disciple-nephew’s body. “Senior Brother, are you alright?” “Senior Brother Changshou, are you feeling unwell?”

“Yes, I’m fine…” Li Changshou rubbed his forehead.” Ling’e, how long have you been in seclusion?” “Senior Brother, I’ve been in seclusion for three years. I’ve been out for half a year.”

Three years…

The Saint had given me a lotus petal and knocked me out for three whole years!

Just as Li Changshou was about to complain, he quickly restored the immortal senses of the paper effigies. Suddenly, he was shocked. He took a deep breath and revealed a rare look of anxiety. “Why are they fighting?!” After saying that, he immediately closed his eyes and returned his spirit to the paper effigy in the Tushita Palace, leaving the fairies to look at each other.
