Chapter 115 Fellow Daoist, The Path Is Narrow
“The internal sect compet.i.tion…”
It began to rain in Little Qiong Peak.
Li Changshou tidied up the pills in the Pill Chamber and headed towards the straw hut. He was thinking about the important internal sect compet.i.tion that he and his junior sister could not avoid.
Now, his cultivation level was at the first stage of the Dao Requital realm. His disciple ranking within the sect was maintained in the twenties.
To the sect, he was an immortal seedling who had taken the wrong path. He liked to refine pills and array formations.
To Li Changshou, that position was just right. He did not have much of a presence, but he could also receive better treatment in the sect.
He kept a wisp of immortal senses and watched Daoist Kuai Si, who was in seclusion on the Immortal Downpour Peak. Li Changshou then focused most of his attention back onto the trivial matter before him…
“It’s time to deliver the poison.” Youqin Xuanya had just arrived yesterday and he felt that she should not have left yet.
Over the past decade, Youqin Xuanya has come to the Little Qiong Peak rather regularly.
Every two years, she would appear at the Little Qiong Peak on time.
It was like she was just performing an official ch.o.r.e that was part of her routine, in order to maintain the friends.h.i.+p.
At the same time, it was also because she had not seen a certain senior brother for a long time and she felt slightly empty deep down.
She felt that Senior Brother Changshou was a role model for her. She had to look at him often to know if she had gone astray…
Every time she visited, Li Changshou would avoid her and let Ling’e accompany her for tea instead.
Li Changshou would only appear when Youqin Xuanya was about to leave and return to the Heaven-Breaking Peak to continue cultivating in seclusion. He would say a few words to her and bid her farewell.
That way, Youqin Xuanya would feel that her trip was not wasted. When she returned, she would not repeatedly look back either.
The rain was hazy, and the clouds gradually rose.
Li Changshou quickly walked to the lake and threw some fish food into the lake.
The mountains in the far distance were hidden, and there were ripples on the nearby waters.
In the straw hut behind him, which was within two layers of array formations, the cups and plates were strewn all over the place. The banquet had long ended. The three figures were sleeping on Ling’e’s bed…
Youqin Xuanya’s exclusive spot was at the foot of the bed. She was sleeping soundly. Lingle lay on her side while Jiu Jiu hugged her wine jar and sat by the bed.
All three of them had rouge on their faces which were painted badly to make them look funny. Jiu Jiu had the most rouge on her face. Naturally, she had lost the most miserably yesterday. Li Changshou glanced at Youqin Xuanya’s cultivation level…
She was at the sixth stage of the Dao Requital realm, which was still three stages away from reaching her Heavenly Tribulation.
Li Changshou was slightly worried about Youqin Xuanya’s Tribulation Transcendence.
Judging from Youqin Xuanya’s current apt.i.tude, she would have at least seven Heavenly Tribulations, or eight Thunder Tribulations.
However, Youqin Xuanya’s cultivation level was still rather low. If she encountered a Heavenly Tribulation like the one he had, she might…
Although Youqin Xuanya did not “benefit” him much, she was still considered half a friend…
I’ll give her ten percent of the set of preparations for the Tribulation Transcendence that I had made for Ling’e.
Li Changshou smiled in his head. As he observed his master’s condition, he stared at his enemy.
In comparison, Li Changshou felt that it was a little unjust.
Ling’e had heard about the incident that happened between Junior Brother Qi Qi and Senior Sister Yan’er back then. She had also asked around and found out some rumors about their master, Uncle-Master, and Daoist Kuai Si.
According to the rumors, Master and Daoist Kuai Si had a conflict because of an issue regarding Dao companions. Both of them had a private battle.
However, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had mentioned a sneak attack.
Based on Li Changshou’s secret investigation over the past ten years, as well as the information that he had obtained from his master, he had more or less figured out the original story… About a thousand years ago, the master of Little Qiong Peak took in two disciples. When his disciples’ cultivation level was on the right track, he left to wander the world and seek a breakthrough.
He left Wan Jiangyu, and her Junior Brother, Qi Yuan behind.
They were all immortal seedlings of that batch of disciples back then. Wan Jiangyu was ranked 89th, and Qi Yuan was ranked 145th.
The two of them were childhood sweethearts. In the environment of the Immortal Du Sect where everyone had a Dao companion, they naturally had feelings for each other.
After that, the immortal seedling of the Immortal Downpour Peak, Kuai Si, fell in love with Wan Jiangyu at first sight. He begged for her to reciprocate his feelings for more than ten years but to no avail. Hence, he blamed it on Qi Yuan. He secretly provoked Qi Yuan and was at odds with him. In the end, he asked Qi Yuan out for a battle. In reality, he secretly launched a sneak attack and severely injured Qi Yuan…
That was why Wan Jiangyu took the risk and went out to search for herbs for Qi Yuan.
As for the rumor that Ling’e had first found out, Wan Jiangyu was angry that she had been objectified and treated as a “treasure” that the male Qi Refinement cultivators fought over. Hence, she left the sect to look for her master, while Qi Yuan and Kuai Si fought. Qi Yuan was not his match and ended up getting severely injured.
That piece of news was actually spread by the Immortal Downpour Peak back then. They were just biased towards Kuai Si.
Back then, Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu and his master were isolated and helpless. There were no elders or immortals from Little Qiong Peak and hence, they had no choice but to bear with it.
Now…
Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu died miserably in the North Continent. Fortunately, her remnant soul reincarnated in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Qi Yuan’s Dao base had been damaged and he had struggled for eight to nine hundred years. He should have died under the Heavenly Tribulation, but he had been saved by a pill from his eldest disciple, Li Changshou.
Li Changshou was a little angry. The reason why he was angry was not that Kuai Si was despicable and shameless. He had long experienced such people in his previous life.
Li Changshou was angered by two things.
Firstly, the sect’s choice of internal punishment after the incident was based on the principle of downplaying major matters into smaller ones and avoiding trouble. The Immortal Downpour Peak managed to protect Kuai Si. Kuai Si was now rigorous and in high spirits. He had a Dao companion, became a Heaven Immortal Conspiracy, and was working towards immortality. However, his master could only reach the Perfected Immortal realm at most.
Secondly, Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu had been forced to such a state by the Immortal Forest Peak. How helpless had she been? There were numerous immortals in the sect, yet she had to go to the North Continent alone…
However, it did not matter.
If the sect did not punish the culprit, he, Qi Yuan’s disciple, would go and seek justice on his behalf!
There were tension and disagreements between the peaks. That was the conclusion that Li Changshou had come to after entering the sect.
Therefore, he would not deliberately target the Immortal Downpour Peak. At most, he would launch some sneak attacks during the internal compet.i.tion in the sect where he would meet the disciples of the Immortal Downpour Peak.
Now, I just need you to move.
Li Changshou squinted slightly. He stared at the Immortal Downpour Peak that was shrouded in the rain and fog, as well as the figure that was meditating in the Cave Abode.
“Senior Brother? When did you come over?”
Li Changshou turned around and saw Lingle walking out of the straw hut.
She was combing her long, smooth hair with her fingers. Her pretty face was slightly flushed because she had just woken up. She smiled at Li Changshou. The two figures slowly woke up in the straw hut behind him…
Li Changshou smiled at Ling’e.
Back then, Wan Jiangyu could not protect her junior brother, and no one stood up for Little Qiong Peak.
It will not be the case now.
A moment later.
