Chapter 76: The Mystery That Shocked Junior!


What did it mean to hide one’s identity after settling the matter?


In Youqin Xuanya’s eyes, that was what Li Changshou did.


Senior Brother Changshou put in a lot of effort and went through a lot of hardships, and dangers. He barely managed to defeat the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace East Ocean, Ao Yi, who was also a member of the Jie School…


However, he is very humble and does not seek fame. He left quietly…


In reality… Li Changshou first pulled Ao Yi up and said that he had offended him.


That was to eliminate potential hostility so that the Jie School and Ao Yi could reduce their hatred towards him.


Li Changshou then confessed to the elders in front of the hall and claimed that he had won unfairly. He revealed that he had only used the escape technique and talisman technique that the sect had taught him, which gave him an edge. He also said that he was willing to receive punishment from the sect for damaging the sect’s reputation.


That was to further reduce his sense of guilt and exude authority for the sect. He also hinted to his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu that he wanted to return to the Little Qiong Peak.


Li Changshou then bowed to the people from the Golden Ao Island, appearing rather ashamed…


With a few simple sentences and actions, Li Changshou seamlessly gave everyone an out.


The elder of the Immortal Du Sect was a reasonable person. He could tell that Li Changshou did not want to become enemies with the Golden Ao Island and the Dragon Palace. Thus, he deliberately reprimanded him with a stern expression and asked him to return to the Little Qiong Peak to reflect on his mistakes.


That elder was actually just putting on an act. He was implying that Li Changshou should return to the Little Qiong Peak and wait for his reward later.


However, Youqin Xuanya kept frowning while standing at the side. If her master had not been holding her down, she would have definitely stood up and argued for her Senior Brother Changshou, who was still not considered a friend…


Youqin Xuanya sighed softly as she watched Li Changshou leave in the starry sky.


She thought, When can I be as outstanding as Senior Brother?


After Li Changshou left the Heaven-Breaking Peak, he sighed and thought to himself, I’ve finally dealt with this. It’s really troublesome.


However, no matter what he did, the truth was that Little Qiong Peak was being watched by everyone in the sect.


After the paper effigy returns from the outside world this time, I’ll continue to refine pills in silence. I’ll be able to peacefully refine pills for ten years and then continue my plan to become wealthy.


No, eight to ten years wouldn’t be enough, but at least, it will be stable…


I’ll need at least twenty years!


Judging from this little dragon’s expression, he might come to Little Qiong Peak to apologize later.


Li Changshou thought about it for a while and hid the Beauty’s Charm in his treasure pouch. He did not want to be careless and mistakenly take out that item instead.


Moreover, he was not the only one who could refine Beauty’s Charm. There were countless Qi Refinement cultivators who enjoyed drinking it during the Primordial World.


That alone made him certain that the East Ocean would not be able to discover any dirt on him.


At this moment, it was extremely lively in the Heaven-Breaking Peak. All the Heaven Immortals had begun to preach and discuss the Dao. The people who had been watching the battle earlier had also stayed to listen to the Heaven Immortals from both factions.


However, Li Changshou saw that the Heaven Immortal of the Golden Ao Island was boiling with fury just now. He reckoned that he would still have to meet with the Heaven Immortals of his sect in a while…


That had nothing to do with him. He had merely completed the mission given by the sect.


Upon returning to the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou first walked around the Pill Chamber.


He thought about the mistakes that he could have made, and how could he salvage the situation if there had been any.


If Master’s enemy was watching today as well…


What would he think?


It would be great if the enemy could attack me. I could give the enemy a chance to go out on purpose and find a place to humiliate him…


Before I attack, I can even use the Sound Sphere to prove that he was the one who wanted to harm me, a disciple. Thankfully, I have the poison that Elder Wan Linyun had given me for protection…


After that, even if I have to go into seclusion at the Little Qiong Peak for hundreds of years according to the sect rules, it would not be a problem at all. Anyway, my main body doesn’t want to go anywhere.


Li Changshou chuckled. He knew that it was just his wishful thinking.


After all, he was just a quasi-immortal and a young junior immortal who was at the seventh stage of the Void Return. The enemy should not be able to sense any threat…


Let’s see what happens next.


Although Li Changshou wanted to ask his master who his enemy was, he was afraid that his master would feel upset after recalling the past.


Secondly, he cared about his master’s pride.


If he asked the others, he might be suspected if the enemy were to appear again later…


The matter had to be planned carefully.


He had been exposed for no reason this time, although it was not that he had not done enough…


There was no need to belittle himself. Li Changshou had already tried his best to protect himself.


However, who would have thought…


He was happily shopping in Linhai Town, buying herbs and selling pills. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jiu Wu and Ao Yi, who were completely unrelated to each other, wandering around the trapped arrays around his Pill Chamber…


What the hell is that?


Although there was a sign because he had run into the Heaven Immortal of Golden Ao Island in Linhai Town, he did not expect things to develop that way.


I shall tell Master to reject all guests of Little Qiong Peak in the future.


Li Changshou sighed and tried to sense the essence soul of the paper effigy. His mind instantly switched over. When he realized that the surroundings were silent and did not pose any threat, he immediately switched back to his main body.


The “inn” was set up by the Linhai Sword Sect. The rent for a small room was not cheap.


However, that place was relatively safe. The Heaven Immortal experts from the Linhai Sword Sect were stationed nearby, and the patrolling immortal soldiers were paying plenty of attention.


Now, he could only wait for the sect to quieten down before thinking about getting rich.


Li Changshou was still a little worried. He walked around the mountain twice and checked the locations where the array foundations were hidden underground.


After getting busy for a while, he suddenly caught sight of a figure flying over from Pill Tripod Peak. It soon landed near the straw hut by the lake…


Li Changshou hurriedly drove back on the cloud. From afar, he saw a figure standing by the lake.


Ling’e stuck her head out of her straw hut and pointed at the lake beside Li Changshou. There was an old man with a bronze walking stick…


It was Elder Wan Linyun.



“Elder, why are you here?”


Li Changshou hurriedly bowed.


Wan Linyun turned to look at Li Changshou. There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes. The corners of his lips trembled slightly as he revealed a ruthless sneer.


“I used my immortal senses to watch you win against that dragon. However, you were reprimanded by the other elders, so I came by to take a look. You did well this time…”


“The escape technique is one of your own abilities. You don’t have to care too much about others’ opinions. If someone in the sect blames you later, show them this.”


As he spoke, Elder Wan Linyun pushed his slightly coarse palm forward and gave Li Changshou a black piece of jade that had immortal powers.


Li Changshou held it with both hands and lowered his head to take a look. He saw that there was a wisp of Qi contained in the jade, and in the middle was the character ‘Yun’.


“Tell them what I said,” said Elder Wan Linyun fiercely. “In the future, I will protect Little Qiong Peak. Not everyone can reprimand you!”


Li Changshou felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in his heart, and he quickly thanked him.


He knew that the elder was not plotting anything against the Little Poor Peak.


Elder Wan Linyun had truly kept himself in recluse for many years and did not know the ways of the world.


Previously, Li Changshou and a few elders had been putting on an act to give everyone a way out, but Elder Wan Linyun thought that Li Changshou had been reprimanded by the sect.


The escape technique was looked down upon by the disciples.


Poisons were also looked down upon by the disciples…


Li Changshou pondered in his heart. Perhaps Elder Wan Linyun was so excited because he recalled what happened back then…


Elder Wan Linyun’s leg injury was caused by his own master who reprimanded him for studying the Poison Sutra, which was an insult to Dao.


Tens of thousands of years later, Elder Wan Linyun went on the path of refining poison to prove to his master that poison was medicine. “Poison is Medicine” was written in the last words of Elder Wan Linyun’s Poison Sutra.



However, when Elder Wan Linyun used the poisonous pills to save the Immortal Du Sect from the demons ten thousand years ago, Elder Wan Linyun’s master had already passed away…


Li Changshou held onto the jade and bowed deeply.


“Elder, thank you for your concern.”


Wan Linyun revealed a stiff smile and said, “Rest for a while. I still need to refine pills when I get back.”


“I will visit the peak another day.”


“Yes, you can come anytime.”


Wan Linyun put away his benevolent smile that could stop babies from crying. He tapped his walking stick and clouds appeared on the ground. He then headed towards Pill Tripod Peak.


The elder was there to encourage Li Changshou.


Other elders did not commend Li Changshou, but he did.


The other seniors in the sects would not protect Li Changshou, but he would.


It was just that simple…


Li Changshou held the jade pendant in his hand and stood by the lake. He looked into the distance for a long time before he calmed down.


The Primordial World may be dangerous, but Primordials are not all evil.


“Senior Brother!”


Ling’e poked her head out from the window and said softly, “Someone’s coming over again!”


“I saw.”


Li Changshou put away the jade pendant and sighed. There are so many guests today…


“Junior, you’re quite obedient today.” Li Changshou turned around and praised her.


Ling’e, who was lying on the window sill, grimaced and exclaimed, “It’s all because I’m afraid that I’ll be scolded by you if I cause trouble for you!”


“By the way, Senior Brother, did you… admit defeat just now?”


“We won,” Li Changshou said. “However, we still have to care about these things in our sect.”


“Oh, right, pack up later and deliver some tea to my room. “Ao Yi, the prince of the Dragon Palace has brought a female companion over. The Little Qiong Peak has to send someone with good looks.”


Ling’e blinked, pursed her lips and chuckled.


She hurriedly opened the isolation array formation outside her own room, which her senior had modified recently. She then started changing her clothes swiftly…


Soon, Ao Yi, Han Zhi, and Jiu Wu, who was leading the way, landed slowly while standing on the cloud.


Li Changshou went forward to welcome them. He exchanged glances with Jiu Wu, and the two of them instantly understood each other.


Previously, Li Changshou had guessed that Ao Yi would visit him and apologize. However, he did not expect that the prince Ao Yi would greet him with cupped hands.


“Your Highness, you don’t have to be so polite. Please come in. Your Highness, I’m sorry for being rude.”


Li Changshou then led Ao Yi and Han Zhixian into his straw hut.


Before Ao Yi could mention what happened, Li Changshou asked, “Your Highness, do you understand the Dao of Danqing?”


He changed the topic to something unrelated.


Ao Yi and Han Zhi were soon distracted by Li Changshou.


Li Changshou, on the other hand, took out many paintings that he had collected and drawn when he was free. He allowed them to appreciate the paintings.


The direction of the topic was completely controlled by Li Changshou. Ao Yi the dragon and Han Zhi the human nodded continuously while standing at the side. They found it to be especially interesting.


Jiu Wu was initially worried that the atmosphere would be awkward, but very quickly, the short Daoist was attracted by the topic and joined in the discussion. He also took out his personal collection of paintings…


An hour later, Ling’e, who had dressed up seriously, came over to serve tea. The eyes of the three guests lit up.


Li Changshou’s junior sister was dressed in a silk dress and wearing exquisite jade hair accessories with white pearl tassels.


Her eyes, nose, and pink lips were beautiful. Her ears, eyelashes, and teeth were exquisite.


She had gorgeous eyebrows and a jade-like neck.


Her skin was as fair as snow, and her slender waist was extremely alluring.


At first glance, he felt that she should have been the fairy dancing with the zither in the palace that day.


When he looked at her for the second time, he felt that she was like a beauty who had walked out of those paintings…


Ling’e’s temperament, looks, and features were all slightly superior to the female immortal of Jie School, Han Zhi.


When Ling’e sat beside her senior brother, her clear and glistening gaze made Jiu Wu ponder.


Little Jiu is not interested in Changshou, is she?


If she, then this junior beside Changshou…


I have to remind Little Jiu.


He felt a sense of threat because he was experienced.


The conversation about Danqing lasted from midnight to daybreak. Ao Yi and Han Zhi both felt that Li Changshou was a refined person.


The host, Li Changshou was happy. Seeing that they did not want to leave, Li Changshou had no choice but to change the topic to music…


However, Han Zhi suddenly heard her master’s voice and whispered something into Ao Yi’s ear.


The young dragon frowned and muttered to himself. With a look of regret, he stood up and bade Li Changshou farewell.


Something had happened at Heaven-Breaking Peak. Ao Yi’s senior brothers were also intending to spar with two elders of the Immortal Du Sect. They had to rush over to take a look…


Li Changshou sent them out of the straw hut and walked them to the lake. Only then did they part reluctantly.


I’ve finally sent them away…


The second prince of the Dragon Palace, who looked like a young man, smiled and said, “Brother Changshou, if you’re free, please come to Golden Ao Island to play. We’ll welcome you warmly and we can have a long talk.”


“Sure, sure.”


Ao Yi and Han Zhi hurried to the Heaven-Breaking Peak. Jiu Wu gave Li Changshou a thumbs-up and chased after them.


Li Changshou waved his hand and thought to himself,


Let’s meet again if fate allows…


Of course, it would be best if we don’t.


After Li Changshou sent away the troublesome ones, he stretched his back and focused his immortal senses on the Heaven-Breaking Peak.


Exalted Wang Qing is going to attack again.


Although Li Changshou wanted to go and take a look as well, he felt that there had been enough trouble that day. Therefore, he decided to watch the “sparring session” between the Heaven Immortals from afar.


In the straw hut, Ling’e, who was in a good mood, had already started to pack her things diligently. She put away her cup and plate and tidied up the scattered paintings…


Her gaze was attracted by a scroll of painting that had some of its contents exposed. She tilted her head and looked at it. She then saw the sentence written when she lifted her head…


“My Love.”


The handwriting belonged to Senior Brother’s loved one?


Hehe, I want to see what kind of woman you like.


Ling’e stole a glance at Li Changshou’s back as he stood by the lake. She then pulled out the painting and slowly unrolled it.


The thing was actually… a secret treasure for retirement.


It was the secret treasure that Li Changshou had eliminated in his early years. It was the prototype of the tool he would use to calm his mind and heart…


It was named “Aged Beauties”!


Due to the exquisite workmanship and superior painting techniques that were used, Li Changshou had kept it as an emergency secret treasure.


It had been thrown into the storage bag that contained all the completed paintings. It had been more than ten years since then. Yet, Li Changshou had accidentally taken it out again but he did not display it.


Ling’e kept unrolling the scroll, and soon, she saw many “beauties”. Her hands began to tremble, and her legs turned to jelly. She fell to the side of the table.


Uh…


What should I do?
