Chapter 63 - Fewer Tricks And More Sincerity (1/2)
Why is my left armpit so itchy recently?
While refining pills, Li Changshou stretched his left arm and frowned slightly.
He now had an immortal body. He was as pure as jade from the inside out.
How could someone as pure as him suddenly… feel an itch in his armpit?
It was not a trivial matter, but Li Changshou did not find anything wrong with himself after checking for half a month.
Could it be the after-effects of Heaven’s Punishment? That shouldn’t be the case.
After thinking about it, he could only boil it down to his immortal body still being imperfect. He had to slowly consolidate his cultivation level.
After he ascended, Li Changshou felt that his mentality had changed slightly. Although the change was not obvious, he was still a little more confident.
As a result… he even dared to gain enlightenment of the Dao in the Pill Chamber!
Sigh, I should be more careful.
Let’s follow the old rules and strengthen a small realm before going on to the next realm.
At present, he still had a very long lifespan and the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation was also very far away. There was no need to be too anxious.
Only by stabilizing his foundations and strengthening his immortal foundation would he be able to learn about the path towards immortality. Only then would he be strong enough to protect his own life in the future.
His immortal sense allowed him to sense that Fairy had flown over from the straw hut. Li Changshou closed some of the array formations and allowed her to reach the Pill Chamber without any obstructions.
Soon, Fairy jumped from the cloud to the Pill Chamber.
“Senior! Are you… roasting your hand?”
“Roasting my hand? This is alchemy.”
In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou turned around and moved away to reveal the three-foot-tall pocket-sized pill furnace.
The blue fairy blinked as she held onto the food container. She looked at the Pill Chamber that had become much more s.p.a.cious and the small three-foot-tall Pill Furnace on the ground. She then drew the outline of a larger Pill Furnace with her finger…
“What about the bigger one?”
“It blew up half a month ago.” Li Changshou lowered his head and sighed. He carefully controlled the fire of the small Pill Furnace.
There were no restrictions or array formations for the Pill Furnace, nor were there any methods for the flames in the Pill Furnace to be stabilized. It had become as troublesome as it used to many years ago, and he needed to constantly control the fire. Some elixirs could not be refined either.
“Senior Brother, you have to be careful when refining pills. Is this also that dangerous?”
The blue fairy was a little worried as she gave him a reminder. She carried the dark purple, hollowed-out phoenix food container and placed it on a short table beside her.
She looked up and saw that the roof seemed to have been replaced too
She got busy at the side and put the two tables together, before activating simple restrictions on the table. Then, she took out the delicacies she had just prepared and slowly laid them on the table.
When Li Changshou was not in the mountains, the blue fairy would be wearing her same few loose-fit training suits most of the time.
When he was around, she would definitely change into beautiful fairy dresses even if she wouldn’t be seeing him for a few days. Occasionally, she would fill her eyebrows in and put on some lipstick…
“Senior, are you still going to invite Uncle-Master Jiu Wu this time?”
“Yes, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu sent me a letter via a paper crane yesterday. He said that he wanted to come and talk to me about something today.”
Li Changshou took a deep breath. The flames in the Pill Furnace gradually subsided, and the medicinal pills began to emit a medicinal fragrance.
Thinking about how he had fooled Jiu Wu a few years ago and made him take those oaths, Li Changshou smiled.
He thought I shall treat this banquet as an apology to Uncle-Master Jiu Wu.
After laying out the dishes and warming the wine, the blue fairy looked at the pouch hanging on her waist and giggled.
“What’s the matter?” While waiting for the pill to be ready, Li Changshou asked casually, “You’ve recovered so quickly? It seems that you have forgotten the lesson from last time.”
“I didn’t! I definitely didn’t!”
The blue fairy quickly frowned and put on a look of distress. She lamented, “Senior Brother, it was my fault for making you angry previously…”
“Alright.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “What did you make for me? Take it out.”
Fairy’s eyes lit up, and she said gleefully, “Hehe, Senior, you’ve indeed peeked at me!”
Li Changshou said helplessly, “There’s no need to peek. I can easily guess what you’re thinking.”
“What?” Fairy was a little disappointed. She tossed the pouch at him and walked out of the door with pursed lips.
“Stinky Senior, here’s the robe I made for you!”
“I’m going back to cultivate. I’ll come back later to clean up the dishes!”
Li Changshou caught the pouch and looked inside. When he saw that it was an ordinary, dark-green-colored robe, he put on a satisfied smile.
Indeed, nurturing and grooming his female junior was not a waste of effort…
He was very satisfied with the robe.
Sitting on the rocking chair outside the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou waited quietly for Jiu Wu to arrive. He closed his eyes and pondered over the divine powers and mystical abilities.
Soon, a short Daoist appeared outside the Little Qiong Peak.
Li Changshou stood up and welcomed him. He closed the array formation around him and bowed to his Uncle-Master. Everything was the same as before.
However, this time, the short Daoist walked a few rounds around the place and finally landed far away from him. He looked around while keeping his hands behind his back.
His gaze was filled with vigilance.
Li Changshou smiled without saying a word. He stood quietly by the door and waited. When he saw his Uncle-Master walking over, he did not say anything.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled when they were 30 feet away.
“Ahem!”
Jiu Wu coughed lightly and said indifferently, “Why? Do you not need me to guide you in setting up array formations this time?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “I didn’t prepare in advance. Uncle-Master, when you said that you would be coming, I asked Junior Sister to make some dishes and wine. Uncle-Master, if you’d like to guide me in array formation cultivation, I do have some doubts.”
“No, no.” Jiu Wu immediately shook his head and declined, “I’m old and I can’t guide you, I can’t anymore.”
“Uncle-Master, your attainment in array formations is far beyond what I can achieve.”
Li Changshou continued with a serious expression, “I’ve only developed some new ideas in some insignificant aspects. If I really want to set up a powerful array, I will need an immortal like you, who is truly good at array formations and has a high cultivation level, as well as sufficient materials.”
Jiu Wu raised his thick eyebrows and smiled.
“Are you not going to leave a Shadow Sphere for me this time?”
Li Changshou shook his head with a smile. Just as he was about to turn around and invite his Uncle-Master into the room, Jiu Wu smiled smugly and took out from his Daoist robe…
two fist-sized gla.s.s spheres.
“Heh-heh, I brought some!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
“As long as you’re happy, Uncle-Master.” Li Changshou made an inviting gesture and said, “I have nothing to ask of you this time. I just want to listen to your teachings. Please come in.”
Thus, he took his time to inspect and scrutinize.
Jiu Wu noticed the changes in the Pill Furnace. He could not help but a.n.a.lyze in his head and speculate what kind of arrangement a small Pill Furnace would create.
Finally, after much effort, Jiu Wu and Li Changshou sat down.
Looking at the banquet in front of him…
Jiu Wu squinted and took out a rabbit, which was a spiritual beast, from his sleeve. Then, he started to feed the food to the rabbit.
