Chapter 63 - Fewer Tricks And More Sincerity (2/2)
Li Changshou was also happy as he watched and waited quietly for Jiu Wu to finish.
Finally, when Jiu Wu confirmed that Li Changshou did not spike the food today, he picked up a pair of jade chopsticks and cleared his throat. With a troubled expression, he said,
“Your Uncle-Master Jiu s.h.i.+ has been in seclusion recently, in a bid to seek a breakthrough. Apprentice-Nephew… please don’t say the same thing as you did previously.”
Li Changshou said, “I can swear that at this moment, I sincerely want to invite you to drink and chat!”
“In that case, take an oath.” Jiu Wu nodded. “Come, hurry, and do it.”
“I’m just making a casual remark. If you really swear, wouldn’t that mean that you really have a guilty conscience?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Uncle-Master, I would like to toast you.”
Jiu Wu laughed. He raised his wine gla.s.s and tipped it towards Li Changshou from afar, but only took a sip.
“Let’s talk about business before we drink.” Jiu Wu said, “This time, according to the promise I made last time, I will discuss it with you in advance. If you agree to this, the sect will definitely reward you handsomely.”
“If you don’t agree, I’ll pretend that I didn’t mention it.”
“Oh?” Li Changshou pondered for a moment and understood what was going on. He continued, “If you want to promote the Chain Array in the sect, you don’t have to ask me.”
Jiu Wu frowned. “How did you know? I didn’t mention this to anyone!”
“I guessed it.” Li Changshou picked up a mouthful of the spiritual fish that his junior sister had cooked. The white and tender fish melted in his mouth, and it was sweet and fragrant. The aftertaste lingered on his lips and teeth.
“So you agree?” Jiu Wu smiled. “Come, tell me. How did you set up the Chain Array?”
So he did not understand…
Li Changshou said, “Actually, I’ve read about it briefly in the ancient books and made a summary.”
Li Changshou took out a sheepskin scroll immediately.
Of course, he would not reveal his trump card so easily.
What he was revealing now was actually just a theoretical plan that was used to solve the key difficulty in forming the Chain Array formation—the adaptability of different array formations.
It was a solution that he developed in the earlier stage.
There were also reference materials included, which were all ancient books that no one cared about and were hidden in the outer hall of the Dao Repository.
The plan was completely different from the idea of the ‘formation base unit’ that he was currently using. The disadvantage was that it was a waste of materials, but it could also achieve the effect of setting up a Chain Array.
On the first day that the array formations around the Pill Chamber had been set up, he had been waiting to reveal the sheepskin scroll. Today, he had finally ‘got what he wanted’.
Jiu Wu grabbed it and read it carefully.
After a while, the short Daoist could not help but slap his thigh and praise Li Changshou.
“I thought I would have to spend some effort to persuade you, but I didn’t expect you to take it out so readily! I haven’t thought so highly of you for nothing. I haven’t thought so highly of you for nothing!”
“Can you really offer this to the sect?”
Li Changshou smiled and nodded. He agreed, “Of course.”
“Ah, I never thought you would! I used my own standards to judge and misunderstood you. I even thought that you were the type to keep the good stuff to yourself!”
Jiu Wu sighed with emotion. He picked up the wine gla.s.s and drank the wine in one gulp. “I deserve punishment, I deserve punishment!”
Li Changshou said seriously, “The sect is my home, and its prosperity depends on everyone. Uncle-Master, um… what rewards can the sect give?”
Jiu Wu smiled and said, “We will definitely not miss your portion out! What do you want?”
“If possible,” Li Changshou said as he pointed at the Pill Furnace beside him.
Jiu Wu was stunned at first, after which he nodded and agreed.
He even said, “If you can’t find the pill furnace that you like in the sect, I will ask your Uncle-Master Jiu s.h.i.+ to make one for you when he comes out of seclusion!”
“His weapon refinement techniques are not comparable to the Heaven Immortal Elders in the sect but she is quite skilled!”
Li Changshou immediately smiled and toasted Jiu Wu.
All of a sudden, everyone toasted. The two got along very well…
When they drank till they were slightly tipsy, Li Changshou suggested that they roast the rabbit that was used for taste-picking in the Pill Furnace, and they really proceeded to do so.
It tasted pretty good.
After drinking the wine, Jiu Wu returned and came to look for Li Changshou three days later. He then brought him to Pill Tripod Peak to select a new Pill Furnace.
Pill Tripod Peak was a branch of the Immortal Du Sect that specialized in alchemy and weapon refinement. Although there were not many pills and Dharma treasures produced, they had quite a good reputation in the East Continent of Purvavideha, and were considered a rare highlight of the Immortal Du Sect.
Li Changshou and Jiu Wu had just left the Little Qiong Peak when a beautiful figure flew over from the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Li Changshou frowned slightly when his immortal senses captured this beautiful figure.
There was no need to take a closer look at her face. Just by looking at her slim and perfect figure, as well as the familiar red dress, he could tell who she was.
Youqin Xuanya!
On the Little Qiong Peak, Fairy was cultivating under a tree…
Li Changshou thought about it for a while and decided not to interfere. He continued to chat with his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu.
The two shared similar interests when they were not plotting against each other.
…
Under the willow tree, Youqin Xuanya stood quietly and explained her intentions.
Although she wanted to go to the Little Qiong Peak to meet that Senior she could not show up there for no reason. After coming out of seclusion this time, she thought about it for a few days and nights before finally coming up with a solution.
She decided to use the excuse of asking for some insights about Earth Escape cultivation.
After saying this, Youqin Xuanya lowered her head and waited quietly. Deep down, she felt that her excuse was too far-fetched. She did not know if she could deceive him…
She heard some rustling sounds, but he did not hear Fairy’s reply.
Youqin Xuanya looked up and saw a stone slate with a few lines engraved on it:
“Senior has just gone out.”
“I was punished by Senior so I cannot speak.”
“Senior Sister, please go inside and wait for a while.”
The fairy laughed in her head. She had promised her senior not to talk to strangers and she felt that Senior Sister Youqin could be considered a stranger even though they had slept together.
She thought that if she said that, Senior Sister Youqin would definitely leave.
“Gone out” was actually a little vague. It was very easy for people to think that he had left the sect.
“That’s good too.”
Also?
“Sorry to disturb you, Junior Sister.”
Youqin Xuanya cupped her hands and bowed to Fairy before walking to the straw hut at the side.
Fairy tilted her head. Just as she was about to speak, she could not help but smack her forehead…
This senior sister…
isn’t toxic, is she?
Don’t you understand the ways of the world?
