My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 129

Chapter 129 Immortal Sense Poisonous Pill: Burning Heart

Li Changshou looked at the two female Qi Refinement cultivators in front of him…

Jiu Jiu’s eyes were blurry, and she was still stretching and yawning. Her clothes were a little messy.

Youqin Xuanya, who was standing at the side, looked straight at Li Changshou. Her eyes were bright and clear, and her attitude was proper, as she accepted all the punishments.

Ling’e lowered her head and stood by the bed, her face full of despair…

Ling’e was definitely filled with regret. She felt that back then, she shouldn’t have shown off her skills in roasting meat and caused Little Aunt-Master and Senior Sister Youqin to be implicated one after another.

She clearly knew that her senior brother would definitely scold her after he came out of seclusion, but she was still thinking that he probably would not blame all of them…

Li Changshou closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

“Senior Brother Changshou!”

Youqin Xuanya cupped her fists and lowered her head to admit her mistake. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail that swayed gently. She explained, “I was happy to see all the spiritual beasts, so I deliberately encouraged Junior Sister Ling’e to come up with all sorts of excuses to turn the spiritual beasts into food. I’m willing to receive all your punishment!”

Li Changshou smiled and asked warmly, “Was it delicious?”

“Yeah… yes.” Youqin Xuanya’s face, who was supposed to look cold and aloof, suddenly blushed. Jiu Jiu yawned. “Little Changshou, I just ate some spiritual beasts of yours. I’ll give you precious materials and Spirit Stones in return.”

Li Changshou said calmly, “Aunt-Master, your precious materials and Spirit Stones are already accompanying you in another form.”

“Oh no! I almost forgot that I used up all my savings!” Jiu Jiu shuddered and sobered up. She stood barefooted on the ground and pondered for a while.

Although she was a little “barbaric” sometimes, she, as an Aunt-Master, would not bully a little Disciple-Nephew.

Ling’e sighed softly and bit her lips lightly. She knew that she had to form a united front at this moment and implicate her Little Aunt-Master and Senior Sister Youqin.

Therefore, Ling’e whispered, “Senior Brother, I’m the reason for this entire matter…”

“Junior Sister, don’t be so nervous.” Li Changshou smiled and continued, “After all, I’m not a demon. Why are you so afraid?”

The corners of Lingle’s lips twitched as she subconsciously took half a step back. “Let Little Ling’e go! If there’s anything, come at me!”

Jiu Jiu decisively protected Ling’e who was behind her. She puffed out her chest and raised her head. “At most, I’ll pay you what I owe with my body! I’ll stand up against you to the end!”

“Aunt-Master, don’t say that.” Li Changshou frowned and continued, “I still respect you. I have no improper thoughts about you.”

“Pui! I meant helping you with alchemy and refining the array foundations!”

Jiu Jiu let out a soft snort. Her face had turned red for a moment just now, but she could not put down her “pride and dignity” as his Aunt-Master. She then stubbornly added, “Can you even have any improper thoughts? In that case, why don’t you have proper thoughts about Ling’e and let me broaden my horizons!?!”

The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched slightly, but he avoided the topic leisurely.

The Immortal Du Sect also had spiritual beasts.

Li Changshou put his hands behind his back and sighed. “Since you’ve already eaten them, can I possibly make you spit them out? However, Little Qiong Peak cannot suffer such losses for no reason. I have calculated the value of those spiritual beasts in detail. Now, I will give the three of you another form of compensation. Please look over.”

As he spoke, he took out two sheepskin scrolls from his sleeve and slowly unrolled them. There was actually a complicated design sketch illustrated on them.

“If you feel that there’s nothing wrong with it, seal it with each of your hands and make an oath. Pick a day and start working on it.”

“What’s this?”

Jiu Jiu was the first to come over. The three of them were also a little puzzled…

Thus, half a day later, at the periphery of the spiritual beast enclosure, three beautiful figures who had their sleeves rolled up and skirts folded, slowly flew over, using their immortal power and Dharma powers, dragging a pile of wood that had just been processed…

Soon, a sweet voice echoed on Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou, who was in the Pill Chamber, moved his fingers slightly and strengthened the isolation array around Little Qiong Peak.

tas

Although he was not in the wrong, if other disciples were to coincidentally see the aloof and icy-cold Head Disciple, who was currently popular in the sect, working as a carpenter on his Little Qiong Peak… his fellow disciples who had some fantasies about the Head Disciple would probably develop some inner demons.

Li Changshou shook his head and continued refining pills.

There was sufficient stock for the Ambition Pill. It was only right to sell a few more low-level Spirit Pills and purchase some young spiritual beasts.

Otherwise, he would feel like something was missing in the spiritual beast enclosure that was empty. Little Qiong Peak would not seem perfect either. I’ll buy some cheap and tasty ones this time. Currently, the spiritual beast blood required for refining pills would have to be at least a few thousand years of age. Little Qiong Peak did not have those things. Occasionally, he had to go to Pill Tripod Peak to seek help.

He spent half a month on alchemy, and thus, the vicinity of the spiritual beast enclosure had also been bustling for half a month.

Li Changshou did not make things difficult for the three of them. After all, one of them was his junior sister, while the other was his Little Aunt-Master who was close to him. The other was a toxic junior sister who was too serious about everything.

Li Changshou merely wanted them to build a pavilion near the spiritual beast enclosure, where the mountains and rivers were beautiful. He wanted them to go to the pavilion and have fun in the future.

It was not appropriate for them to go to the resting area by the lake where he and his master would rest in.

Apart from the pavilion, the overall project only involved a small plan to alter the spiritual beast enclosure.

According to their current efficiency, tsk, they will definitely be done within 30 years. It would not affect Youqin Xuanya’s participation in the Three Sects’ Meet.

They played around while working. The construction of the pavilion that could have been built in half a day ended up being delayed and dragged on for half a month…

Li Changshou felt helpless about that. He decided to keep a distance from the three of them in the future to avoid being affected by them.

A few months later, on Pill Tripod Peak, Li Changshou would visit Old Master Wan Linyun from time to time, as per normal routine.

The two of them strolled through the forest of Pill Tripod Peak where the trees were dancing and the path was tranquil. When they stepped

specks of light on the ground, it looked rather elegant.

“Changshou, recently, I have been inspired by your Sensing Stone and came up with an idea for a poisonous pill lately.” “Oh?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Elder, you’ve come to meditate so it must be something impressive. Could it be that this poisonous pill is going to be sensitive to immortal senses?”

Elder Wan Linyun smiled “coldly” and said warmly, “That’s right. Changshou, do you know what immortal senses and spiritual senses are?”

Li Changshou replied, “I have read about them in the sutras in my sect. Spiritual senses and immortal senses are the thoughts that emanate from the essence soul, and the essence soul’s perception of the world. According to the ‘Good Immortal Sutra’, the Essence Soul is the heart. Spiritual senses and immortal senses are the senses of the heart. Mortals rely on their eyes, ears, nose, and tongue. The human heart is presumptuous. They are ignorant of the Great Dao. Qi Refinement cultivators view the world with their hearts, so they call it spiritual senses.”

Elder Wan Linyun’s smile turned colder as his eyes glistened with admiration even though he could easily obtain similar answers from other disciples in the sect.

Elder Wan Linyun said, “Ever since I saw your Sensing Stone last time, I’ve been searching through ancient books and reading the books in the Dao Repository in the sect. I’ve also been pondering about it with a few elders who are good at refining pills. The colorful flower juice would change color when it encounters spiritual senses and immortal senses. The tree sap of the Jade spiritual wood would be divided into nets if it encountered any spiritual senses and immortal senses. Other than that, there are also seven to eight types of spiritual senses and immortal senses that could react to. I tried them one by one and finalized the pill formula.”

As he spoke, Elder Wan Linyun handed a piece of paper to Li Changshou and sneered. “Take a look. What do you think?”

Although Li Changshou was used to Elder Wan Linyun’s signature smile, he would occasionally be frightened. Li Changshou grabbed the pill formula and looked at it carefully. He pondered carefully in his heart. Sometimes, he would frown, sometimes he would look enlightened. In the end, he nodded slightly.

Li Changshou said, “This pill formula should be feasible. I feel so enlightened, be it regarding the medicinal properties or theories.”

“Next, I’ll figure out the quantity and refinement method,” said Elder Wan Linyun. “I’ll go to the North Continent soon to search for the Blue Crystal Divine Spiked Worms. If I can catch a few more, this pill will be completed in three years.”

“Elder, are you going to the North Continent personally?”

“Yes. I’ve asked the juniors of Pill Tripod Peak to search everywhere. We can’t find the Blue Crystal Divine Spiked Worms in the East Continent.”

Elder Wan Linyun leaned his weight on the bronze walking stick and stared at the thick, green trees. “Poisonous pills of immortal senses are rare in the world. If I can refine it, it would really be gratifying.”

He continued, “Changshou, I have lived for more than half my lifespan as a Heaven Immortal. However, the opportunity to live forever has not appeared yet. I reckon I won’t be able to obtain the Dao Fruit of Longevity. If I can leave behind a few more copies of the Poison Sutra in my lifetime and produce a few more new formulas, this trip would be worth

it.”

Li Changshou felt a little emotional when he heard that. However, he did not say anything and just listened with a smile. “By the way, Changshou, your Ambition Pill…”

“Ahem!”

Li Changshou did not expect the topic to change so quickly.

“Elder, do you want to use one? After the internal sect competition in the sect, I refined many of those pills. However, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu took all of them. I have just brewed a new batch of Love Water recently. If you need some, I will send them to you after I finish refining them.”

Elder Wan Linyun waved his hand and said, “What can I use it for? I don’t have the heart for it.”

“You really scared me…”

“Heh heh heh, that Ambition Pill of yours seems to be refined from the Love Stone of Love Gu,” Elder Wan Linyun said seriously. “I obtained one from Liu Feixian and figured out the medicinal formula and theory within it. This item is not only effective for male cultivators who have weak mentalities, but also for female cultivators. You have to tell those who took the pills not to cause trouble.”

“I will remember.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Elder, you are able to determine that the main ingredient of the pill is the Love Stone with just one pill. I… am very impressed. Recently, I have been wanting to improve the formula. I want to add two herbs that will strengthen Yang.”

Wan Linyun smiled. “That’s not bad. It’s good that you know about this.”

Li Changshou thought for a while and took out a treasure pouch from his chest pocket. He said, “Elder, please bring this item with you to the North Continent. The North Continent is dangerous. Although I can’t help much, there are two paper effigies in the pouch, which are not afraid of the poisonous miasma.”

“Okay.” Wan Linyun took the treasure pouch and placed it in his sleeve solemnly.

That was purely for the sake of Li Changshou’s pride.

Ever since he returned from Pill Tripod Peak, Li Changshou had been thinking about the ‘poison of immortal senses’ that Elder Wan Linyun had come up with.

After the poisonous pill was refined, it would be like a Sensing Stone, and could be worn on one’s body.

Its effect was to injure the person who had tried to search him using immortal senses. However, the damage would not be significant. At most, it would cause the person to feel a headache and some dizziness.

Li Changshou, on the other hand, felt that that poisonous pill would be rather useless.

If he were to replace the main ingredient, which was the Blue Crystal Divine Spiked Worms, with other herbs to achieve the effect of secretly marking the source of immortal senses, that would harm the other party and be more useful…

Ahem, only then would that be a good item for anti-reconnaissance!

“What can be used to replace the worms?”

Li Changshou subconsciously fell into deep thought. His knowledge in that aspect was definitely not as rich as Elder Wan Linyun’s. Furthermore, it was not as convenient for him to go out and move around, as compared to Elder Wan Linyun…

Huh?

Li Changshou suddenly thought of something.

The demonic vixen that I and Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had captured…

That demonic vixen’s Enchantment Spell…

The Love Stone that I’m holding onto…

Immortal senses are the senses of one’s heart… Marking the reconnoiters and affecting their minds…

“That’s true. I can start with this…”

Li Changshou muttered to himself for a while before casually grabbing slip. He sat on the rocking chair in front of the Pill Chamber and began to draw and write on it with a carving knife.

Very quickly, an immortal sense poisonous pill that was temporarily known as “If you look at me, you will be marked and have your heart burned” slowly took shape under his carving knife.

The highest realm of poisoning was to make the other party take the initiative and fall for the trick unknowingly.

After being busy for half a day, Li Changshou felt a little dizzy. He scanned the figure in the spiritual beast enclosure with his immortal senses…

The three figures there were busy chopping wood, chopping trees, and digging soil. They were much more hardworking than before.

Li Changshou looked at their figures and was slightly dazed. He smiled secretly.

As expected, the ones who work hard are the most beautiful. In the end, no one lied to me.

In Elder Moon Hall of the Heavenly Courts, General Dongmu looked around and crept up carefully.
