He had picked up a treasure⌠Before Li Changshou could complain, Yun Xiaoâs eyes lit up. Yun Xiao seemed to be saying, âWhy are you here again, Fellow Daoist?â She was asking him why he had formed some ties with her Senior Brother Duobao and why he had brought him here. âFairies, we meet again.â
Although Li Changshou was caught off guard, he knew that he could not let the big shots of Jie School have a feud with him.
He bowed to Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao and said, âThis matter is complicated. Please allow me to explain it in detail later.â
Yun Xiao nodded slightly. Her gaze was gentle.
However, Qiong Xiao, who was not worthy of appearing, snorted and said, âWho are you? Have we met before?â
âWait, wait.â
Li Changshou smiled awkwardly. He took out a paper effigy from his sleeve and transformed it into an old immortal that was specially used by the Sea God.
The paper effigy that looked like a middle-aged Daoist turned into a paper effigy and entered the old immortalâs sleeve.
Li Changshou bowed again and said, âFairy, donât blame me.â
Daoist Duobao looked at Li Changshouâs paper effigy with interest. Yun Xiao also smiled.
Qiong Xiao, on the other hand, supported her forehead with one hand. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. âItâs you again, that little fellow who likes to pretend to be old.â âWhy?â
Daoist Duobao smiled and said, âYou guys know each other?â
Qiong Xiao snorted and replied, âThe Sea God and the immortals of the Three-Immortal Island are familiar with each other. The four of us have received a lot of care from the Sea God. Big Sister has even personally gone into seclusion for him for twelve years. Eldest Senior Brother, do you think we know each other?â
Twelve years of seclusion?
Wow!
Daoist Duobaoâs eyes instantly lit up!
âThird Sister, donât say that,â Yun Xiao said gently. âFellow Daoist Sea God and the four of us are fated. Itâs true that he had taken care of
us.
Letâs go down and talk. Donât let the fellow disciples wait for too long.â
âAlright.â Daoist Duobao nodded and agreed.
Li Changshou said, âThen Iâll tell youâŚâ
âHey! What are you going to say?â
Daoist Duobao immediately attacked and grabbed Li Changshouâs arm. âChanggeng, why are you running away? Since youâre already here, you should join in the fun!â
He continued, âAlso, what if the Deputy Sect Master Randeng ambushes you when you are on the way? You have insufficient Dharma powers and numinous treasures are insufficient. How will your incarnation deal with it?â
âLetâs go, letâs go. Letâs go down and drink tea and eat wine. I still have so many tricks up my sleeve. I want to talk to you in detail. You can take your leave after youâve had your fill. Coincidentally, Junior Sister Yun Xiao is here. Let her send you back to the Heavenly Courts. Thereâs no need to be afraid of Randeng.â
Li Changshou looked at Fairy Yun Xiao and saw her nod with a smile. He could not continue to decline.
Therefore, he performed a Dao salute and followed behind Daoist Duobao. Together with Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao, they left the island and headed towards the immortals from Jie School.
They exchanged greetings and laughed.
There were smiling faces everywhere. There were immortals everywhere too.
The immortals of Jie School indeed followed their hearts.
Daoist Duobao wanted to have a long chat with Li Changshou. Li Changshou was arranged to sit at the main table of the wedding banquet, beside Daoist Duobao. On the other side was Goddess Yun XiaoâŚ
If that was a banquet of Chan School, Li Changshouâs seniority would be insufficient. He would not even be able to sit at the main table.
Just as they sat down, Li Changshou heard a surprised voice transmission.
âBrother Sect Master! Didnât you say that you were busy previously!?!â
Li Changshou turned his head and saw his Second Sect Master, Ao Yi, standing in the corner of the hall.
Ao Yi immediately wanted to move forward, but he could not help but stop when he saw the people seated at Li Changshouâs table.
The aura was too strong, causing the dragon to be afraid.
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. âI met Senior Duobao by chance and was pulled here. Iâll go and talk to you and Sister-in-law later.â
Ao Yi agreed and lowered his head to return to his seat. He whispered a few words into Jiang Siâerâs ear. Jiang Siâer turned her head and looked over, her eyes filled with admiration.
The two main leads of todayâs banquet⌠were not important.
At that moment, they had already completed the ceremony to become Dao companions. When the immortals from Jie School walked forward, Daoist Duobao took out three to four Postnatal numinous treasures from his sleeve as a congratulatory gift.
Li Changshou could not be rude. He took out two bottles of Spirit Pills from his sleeve.
The benefits of Ren Schoolâs forte at alchemy were also reflected. In Li Changshouâs eyes, the Grade Four and Grade Five Spirit Pills, which were not considered outstanding, were considered a significant gift to the immortals of Jie School
After sending the congratulatory gifts, he became more confident about eating at the banquet.
However, Li Changshou sat in between Daoist Duobao and Fairy Yun Xiao. He was really a little restrained. He did not dare to move his chopsticks. He just smiled and sat still like a clay statue.
He suddenly heard a voice transmission.
Fairy Yun Xiao on the left asked, âFellow Daoist, whatâs going on?â
Daoist Duobao on the right asked, âChanggeng, whatâs going on between you and Junior Sister Yun Xiao?â
That was probably the tacit understanding between the big shots.
Li Changshou returned to Fairy Yun Xiao and said, âWhen I was searching for treasures, I accidentally met Senior Duobao. Then, I met the Deputy Sect Master Randeng. This matter is quite complicated.â Then, he replied Daoist Duo Bao, âSenior, donât misunderstand. Iâve only interacted with Fairy Yun Xiao a few times.â
Yun Xiao said, âThereâs no hurry. Tell them slowly.â
Daoist Duobao, who was on the other side, remained calm and smiled secretly.
âOnly interacted a few times? I donât think so. I smelled it just now. After Junior Sister Yun Xiao saw you, not only did her expression change, but her Dao runes also became as gentle as water. Even her own scent changed. Why? Do you still dislike Junior Sister Yun Xiao? Please understand the Four Immortal-Vanquishing Swords.â
Immortal VanquishingâŚ
Numerous Primordial Beasts ran through Li Changshouâs mind.
What the hell?
Is everyone in Jie School afraid that Fairy Yun Xiao will not be able to find a Dao companion? Isnât being someoneâs Dao companion an insult to an existence like Fairy Yun Xiao, who is as beautiful as a painting?
Li Changshou did not even have time to complain. He had already started to transmit his voice to the left and right.
Especially when he was talking to such experts, he had to think carefully and consider every word he said. He was afraid of causing misunderstandings and making mistakes.
It would be fine if it was just a random matter that they were discussing.
While Daoist Duobao was pulling him to gossip, Yun Xiao was carefully asking about the matter regarding Randeng and Duobao.
Not long after, Qiong Xiao went to the side to join in the fun. She asked him if there were any new tricks during this period of time. She even asked Li Changshou to plead with Fairy Yun Xiao so that she and Bi Xiao could go out and move around.
That was completely different from controlling the paper effigy. Li Changshou felt exhausted after a while and almost exploded⌠Fortunately, Yun Xiao noticed Li Changshouâs abnormality in time. She felt that Li Changshouâs reply was slower and that he would say âYesâ and âwellâ as fillers to express what he was thinking
Yun Xiao asked gently, âIs Senior Brother Duobao also sending you a voice transmission?â
âAh, yesâŚâ
âWhy didnât you tell me?â Yun Xiao said softly, âYou should respond to Senior Brother Duobao first. Donât be slow. You and I can talk later.â
There was a warm and fuzzy feeling in Li Changshouâs heart. He thanked Fairy Yun Xiao and began to focus on transmitting his voice to Duobao.
Half a day later, the stars in the night sky were traceless.
A white cloud flew across the sea and carried two figures towards the Immortal Du Sect.
Fairy Yun Xiao knew about Li Changshouâs background. Previously, when she left Golden Ao Island, she had taken Li Changshou to the Heavenly Courts on a cloud. However, she had turned to the East Continent halfway.
On the way, Li Changshou did not hide anything. He said that he had received guidance from Senior Fuxi and had gone to the valley to search for treasures. He had accidentally bumped into Daoist Duobao. With Daoist Duobaoâs care and help, he had obtained two small copper coins.
Then, Randeng arrived. Duobao brought him to hide in the cave and chased him all the way to Golden Ao Island.
There was nothing to hide. Firstly, Li Changshou did not take the initiative to plot against Duobao.
Secondly, from Li Changshouâs point of view, if the Copper Coins of Treasurefall were to be taken away by Randeng, the ones who would suffer would be Jie School.
After hearing that, Yun Xiao pondered for a while and said, âYou canât be blamed for this matter. The Deputy Sect Master Randeng is really going overboard. Did your paper effigy technique break through to the Golden Immortal realm? This will greatly increase your strength. I should congratulate you.â
âAhâŚâ
âWhat happened?â âIâm fine, Iâm fine. I just remembered that I was punished by the Heavenly Punishment previously.â Li Changshou sighed softly. âNow, Iâm thinking that I might have received the love of the Heavenly Dao.
âI was punished by the Heavenly Punishment during the Tribulation Transcendence. I was also punished by the Heavenly Punishment when I was refining pills and treasures. I was struck until my skin and flesh were torn apart. However, to be safe, I can only be grateful.â
âHehâŚâ
Such faint laughter?
Li Changshou could not help but look at Yun Xiao, who pursed her lips and smiled.
At that moment, the starlight shone on her fair and flawless skinâŚ
Ahem, karma, karma, calm down.
Li Changshou raised a red wooden sign in his heart and immediately calmed his mind. He maintained his calm state of mind and continued to chat and laugh with Fairy Yun Xiao.
In the fog, mountains and rivers were connected.
Li Changshou had never felt that the Golden Ao Island could be so close to the Immortal Du Sect. After saying just a few hundred words, he had already arrived near the Immortal Du Sect.
Yun Xiao looked at the mountain-protecting array formation and asked, âCan I send you into the array formation?â
âNo need, no need. Iâll just use the paper effigy to receive it.â Li Changshou bowed and said, âThank you for sending me off, Fairy.â
Yun Xiao bowed slightly and said, âThen Iâll return to the Three-Immortal Island to cultivate.â
âTake care, Fairy.â
âYes.â
At that moment, Fairy Yun Xiao rode a cloud and turned around. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared under the resplendent stars.
Li Changshou landed in the forest below. Then, he used Earth Escape and disappeared without a trace.
âTsk, how should I sever this karma?â
âŚ
The Copper Coins of Treasurefall, the Divine Sea-Calming Needle, Da Yuâs Hydrology Diagram, the Acacia Tree, the Five-Element Spiritual PearlâŚ
In the secret underground chamber, Li Changshou felt satisfied when he counted the treasures that he had obtained recently.
His strength had been greatly enhanced!
However, the Five-Element Pearls had to be used in the core array formation of the Little Qiong Peak. Although the five pearls could barely be considered Connate numinous treasure, it would be a waste to use them there.
However, from another perspective, that also increased the possibility of the future development of the Little Qiong Peak. After all, the plan for Little Qiong Peakâs vagrancy was only in the early stages. Its final form should be similar to the Heaven-Breaking Sealâs brick that was used for smashing people, as well as the mobile Cave Abode, which was extremely sturdy.
Da Yuâs Hydrology Diagram was exclusive to the Sea God. It was also a huge trump card of the Golden Immortal realm paper effigy in the future.
There was no need to mention the Godly Sea-Calming Needle. He could not snatch a monkey and dig its ear with the rod. The metal rod was destined to go to the East Ocean. He could only think of a way to obtain the power of merit on it.
The only thing that could be used were the Copper Coins of Treasurefall.
Li Changshou held the two copper coins in his hand and carefully sized them up. The words and patterns on the copper coins were a little blurry.
He rubbed his fingers gently a few times and realized that that layer of âwrapperâ was actually formed over many years by the turbid energy in the mortal world.
Just as Daoist Duobao had said, as long as he used his own merit to nurture it, he could make the treasure shine again.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and decided to stabilize himself first. The next time he went to offer incense to the Saint, he would bring him to the Heavenly Courts to use the Merit Sacrifice.
Logically speaking, Randeng should not have sensed anything, but just in caseâŚ
âSenior Brother?â
Lingâeâs gentle voice sounded outside the Pill Chamber.
The paper effigy guarding the Pill Chamber immediately stood up and called out to Lingâe, âFollow my instructions and cast the Manifestation Spell to enter from this small hole.â
âAlright.â Lingâe agreed without hesitation. Soon, the wooden door of the secret underground chamber was gently pushed open. Lingâe looked around curiously and jumped in gracefully. âSenior Brother, whatâs wrong?â
Li Changshou smiled and said, âYour Tribulation Transcendence is imminent. There are some things that I should tell you.â
Then, the wooden door closed. Li Changshou pointed in front of him and a circular chair appeared behind the desk.
Lingâe walked over slowly. Although she usually had light makeup on, her entire body exuded a surreal vibe, perhaps because she was approaching the Tribulation Transcendence.
In the following period of time, Li Changshou would not wander around anymore. He would focus on accompanying his junior sister and helping her successfully transcend the tribulation and ascend to immortality.
It would be best if she could ascend.
However, he could not force it.
âLingâe, how much do you know about Ren School?â
Lingâe blinked. Her long eyelashes flickered, and her fair face flushed.
When it came to Ren School, it was definitely the custom of Dao companions that stood outâŚ
She bit her lower lip and asked softly, âSenior Brother, is this place very hidden? No one will find out, right?â
âThatâs right. This place is surrounded by the array formations of the Little Qiong Peak. Now that the array formations are constantly being upgraded, even ordinary Golden Immortals would not be able to find this place unless they open this mountain.â
Lingâeâs face turned red instantly. She pursed her lips and white fog appeared above her head. It was unknown what she was thinkingâŚ
Li Changshou silently took out two stone slabs and a carving knife. He placed one in front of Lingâe and the other in front of him.
âCome, Iâve done some unsafe things outside today. Iâll be punished with you. Weâll copy it 4,500 times each.â
âAhem!â
Lingâeâs aura trembled. She looked at her senior brother pitifully and said aggrievedly, âSenior Brother, Iâve punished myself previously and adding them together, I only have more than 900 copies leftâŚâ
âI need to copy it 9,000 times.â
âHehe, Senior Brother, Iâll write half for you!â
âYes, remember to add the 900 times too. Iâll copy it 4,500 times. You will copy it 5,400 times. Letâs begin.â
Lingâeâs eyes were filled with tears. Li Changshou, on the other hand, squinted and smiled. He lowered his head and picked up the carving knife to start carving carefully. âFocus on writing. Donât think too much. I will help you improve your Dao base and increase your chances of success.â
âSenior Brother, can you remove the concealment spells on your bodyâŚâ âI can do it this time, but donât make such a request again.â Li Changshou nodded and dispersed the few spells on him.
