Chapter 79 - Wish Fulfilled, Wine Maiden Clears the Stage (2/2)
Half a minute before he told her about his plan, his girlfriend broke up with him and officially became his ex-girlfriend.
That was the best portrayal of happiness and sorrow!
He snapped out of his thoughts and began to handle the materials.
For the next half a year, Li Changshou got busy in the secret chamber. He focused on refining the array foundation and expanding the array formation inside the Little Qiong Peak.
The wind chime that was made from the Stone of Sensation and was hung outside the Pill Chamber, had not shone for two months…
The commotion caused by the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island gradually calmed down.
Li Changshou waited for another half a year before he came out of the secret chamber. He changed into a clean robe and flew at a suitable height towards the Dao Repository at the back of the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
What was the Dao Repository?
It was the place of Dao treasures.
Only a small portion of the ancient books there was created by the Immortal Du Sect. Most of the treasures were external items.
The past generations of Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals in the Immortal Du Sect would leave their useless cultivation techniques, manuals, and miscellaneous items in the Dao Repository.
Some of the more valuable ancient books or the copies of profound cultivation technique volumes would be placed in the inner hall.
The Dao Repository was huge. The outer hall could hold more than a thousand people. There were bookshelves filled with cla.s.sics and spell books everywhere.
In a few corners, there were also piles of miscellaneous items that had not been taken care of.
Don’t underestimate them.
They were actually the foundation of the Immortal Du Sect!
Li Changshou had once found the incomplete Secret Tome of the Witch Sect in those piles of junk that had been acc.u.mulating for countless years. He had also found blood-stained linen film in a piece of tattered beast skin…
At that time, he did not go to the outer hall to do those things rashly. He was appointed by the Hundred Mortal Hall to be in charge of cleaning the place.
He spent a few years searching carefully.
From then on, he received the Hundred Mortal Hall’s commendation. They had given him double his initial monthly allowance for the past few years…
Now, Li Changshou no longer rummaged through the miscellaneous items.
He had searched everywhere, but there was nothing useful!
It was a pity that the carving knife that he had found inside had been destroyed by the Immortal Ascension Tribulation…
However, the Immortal Ascension could not destroy the Sutra-writing technique that he had comprehended through another beast-skin scroll.
There were dozens of disciples in the outer hall of the Dao Repository.
What was interesting was that more than ten people were gathered beside the bookshelves where the books about escape techniques were stored. They were reading about the Five-Element escape techniques that no one had been interested in, as well as other escape techniques that were unorthodox…
Li Changshou did not look further. He lowered his head and walked to the deepest part of the outer hall. He found the two doors that were embedded in the rock walls and emitted a faint glow…
The Night Luminescent Dharma Pearl emitted a gentle light. An elder was sitting on a meditation cus.h.i.+on in front of the door and resting with his eyes closed.
The elder was not too tall. His face was thin, and his long hair was grayish-white. There were no wrinkles on his face, but he seemed to have aged.
“Elder Qi Ling, there are experts in the sect. Their cultivation level is unknown. They have been guarding the Dao Repository all year round. They rarely go out, and their whereabouts are unknown.”
Li Changshou had heard the name of that elder from Jiu Jiu when he went to the North Continent.
Li Changshou held the silver-white sword with both hands and bowed. He said, “I wish to enter the inner sect to read the manuals.”
Elder Qi Ling slowly opened his eyes. There was no change in his gray eyes. He simply stared at the small sword in Li Changshou’s hand without looking at him.
“Go in.”
“Yes.”
Amidst the faint sounds that resulted from friction, the door to the Dao Repository’s inner hall slowly opened. Li Changshou stepped in and disappeared in a flash.
Finally…
He had sneaked in…
…
Li Changshou had just entered the inner hall of the Dao Repository.
On the other side of the Heaven-Splitting Peak where the Nine Jiu Immortals lived, there was suddenly a thundering explosion. Lightning flashed and the array formation outside was instantly dispersed. A slender figure slowly rose into the sky.
The few menial disciples, who were always busy with ch.o.r.es, raised their heads together, each with a look of admiration on their faces.
The female immortal who was hovering in the air was surrounded by immortal light, which shone brightly on her face.
Her hair fluttered in the wind, but her linen blouse was still tight and the hem of her short skirt swayed gently while she stuck her bare feet downwards…
Very quickly, she opened her pure and innocent eyes and revealed a confident smile.
Late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm!
I surpa.s.sed Fifth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Sister in one move!
I did not expect to make such a huge advancement this time! I’ve been in the Dao Enlightenment state all this while. Unknowingly, such a long time had pa.s.sed!
She placed his hands on his waist and felt smug for a while. She had been holding it in!
Hehehe, where is Fifth Senior Brother?
Where is Little Shoushou?
Is there no one to welcome me out of seclusion?
Jiu Jiu reached for her waist and grabbed the small gourd.
Seriously, I made a huge leap in my seclusion this time. Master must praise me…
“Uh!”
Jiu Jiu looked down at her beloved wine gourd and shook it gently, only to find that there was no sound of water inside.
Oh no!
I finished all the wine before I went into seclusion. Only then did I feel like I had broken through the bottleneck and entered the Dao Realm!
Hiss—
After taking a deep breath, Jiu Jiu did not care about posing anymore. She quickly went back to her own pavilion, where she heard the sound of someone rummaging inside the room.
d.a.m.n it, how could I have any stock!
I can’t keep wine!
“Fifth Senior Brother!”
“Help!”
Jiu Jiu rushed out of the attic and dashed to Jiu Wu’s attic. However, from afar, she could see that the array formations around Jiu Wu’s attic had been completely activated. There was a wooden sign hanging in front of the door. It read “I have something to do.”
“Ah! Little Shoushou! Can you give me my salary in advance!?!”
Jiu Jiu quickly summoned the huge gourd and rushed towards the Little Qiong Peak with it.
She was as fast as a flash of light and she shocked a few of her fellow disciples who were pa.s.sing by…
A moment later, in Little Qiong Peak, Ling’e, who was cultivating quietly, suddenly heard the sound of something heavy falling outside the straw hut.
Ling’e immediately became alert. Her spiritual senses probed outward while she held a few porcelain bottles in her hand.
However, just as she was about to stand up and check, she realized that the array formations outside the straw hut had been forcefully broken!
A gray shadow rushed into the door and collapsed on the ground. Ling’e was so frightened that she almost tossed the porcelain bottles in her hand out…
That’s not right. The scale is terrifyingly large and the arrays are so elastic that others will bounce off of it…
“Little Aunt-Master?”
“What’s wrong with you!?!”
Ling’e rushed forward and shouted anxiously.
Jiu Jiu lay on the ground weakly. She slowly turned her head, revealing a dejected face that resembled that of a mortal that was on the verge of death in the desert…
Ling’e was shocked and at a complete loss.
“Little Aunt-Master, don’t scare me! My senior brother just went to Heaven-Breaking Peak!”
“Quick…”
Jiu Jiu’s lips trembled as she extended her hand towards Ling’e, filled with hope.
It was as if she had used the last bit of energy she could muster to say those words…
“Give me wine…”
