Chapter 126 - I Learned It, I Learned It (2/2)
As he spoke, Qin Wan took out a white jade flute from his sleeve. The jade flute was glowing, and there was a glistening spiritual glow on it. Wisps of green light surrounded it. However, it was a spiritual treasure that was of superior quality and spirituality. In fact, it could barely reach the threshold of a Postnatal numinous treasure!
Qin Wan handed the white jade flute to Ji Wuyou and smiled. “Sect Master Wuyou, please don’t decline. Otherwise, I will feel unhappy.”
Ji Wuyou smiled and took the white jade flute from Li Changshou. He wrapped it with immortal power and handed it to Li Changshou.
He urged, “Aren’t you going to thank Senior Qin for the treasures?”.
Li Changshou held the white jade flute with both hands and said in a low voice, “Thank you for the treasure, Senior.”
Then, the Sect Leader smiled and said, “Little Wu, go and obtain the method for refining the array foundations and give Changshou 300 years’ worth of monthly allowance. It’s a reward from the sect. From now on, the array formations in the sect will be free for Changshou’s use. Changshou, if you lack the materials needed to refine array formations, you can get the Hundred Mortal Hall to help you out.”
Jiu Wu was elated. He immediately accepted the order and flew towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Li Changshou could only suppress the helplessness in his heart and bow to the Sect Leader.
At the end of the day, he had gained some benefits.
Ji Wuyou revealed the fact that he valued and nurtured talented disciples, as the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect. He then brought the old immortals back to the jade platform and continued to observe the ceremony.
The Heavenly Lord Qin Wan felt that he had gained a lot. Before they left, he even took a few glances at Li Changshou to memorize his aura and face.
On the way back to the jade platform, the leader of the ten Heavenly Lords had already started to frown from time to time. He seemed to be in the midst of thinking about how to improve the Ten Absolute Arrays of his ten siblings…
Li Changshou watched the big shots leave. After they left, he could not help but rub his brows.
Ao Yi smiled and asked, “Brother Changshou, do you know how to play the flute? Why don’t you play a piece?”
Li Changshou tried to force an ugly smile. He looked at his array formation and activated the trapping arrays and Bewitching Array once again.
In his heart, he could not help but imagine a scene.
The scene depicted piles of yellow sand in the dark sky and two armies confronting each other, both on the ground and in the sky. Birds, beasts, and strange people were everywhere.
Suddenly, an army retreated rapidly. Ten huge vortexes appeared in the sky, and they were connected to each other. They were menacing and full of sharp, murderous intent.
Nine men and one woman appeared in the vortex and shouted in unison,
“Immortals of Chan School do you dare to enter our Ten Absolute Chain Arrays?”
Li Changshou held the white jade flute in his hand and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Ao Yi hurriedly asked, “Brother Changshou, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. It’s nothing.” Li Changshou sighed and looked at the tea room that was not far away. “Let’s return to the place where the grand compet.i.tion is held later. Let’s take our time and chat here.”
“Yes,” replied Ao Yi, looking depressed.
Ao Yi and Li Changshou sat in the tea room in the forest.
Li Changshou took out his tea leaves and brewed a cup of tea. Then, he began to ponder. If the method of linking array foundations was spread, there would be problems in the future.
Although the one that he had given to the sect was an outdated version, that version could also be used. Furthermore, if one were to follow the logic of the original version, he might be able to develop better ideas…
On second thought, I only provided some technical support.
There is no need for the Saint to argue with me, a disciple, over this, right?
Although I should always be prepared for the worst, this matter… I have to consider it thoroughly.
Li Changshou placed the white jade flute on the table. Seeing Ao Yi’s gloomy expression, he asked, “Why? Is your cultivation not smooth? Did the dragon race encounter some trouble again?”
Ao Yi sighed and answered, “The Dragon race is still the same. My cultivation is rather smooth.” Ao Yi sighed again and continued, “Brother Changshou, you can be considered an expert in this aspect. Can you help me solve my doubts?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Speak. What do you not understand about array formations?”
Ao Yi’s face was a little awkward. He whispered, “It’s not about the Dao of array formations, nor is it about cultivation. It’s… about romantic relations.h.i.+ps.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Brother, how am I in any way, an expert?
Li Changshou frowned and asked, “Is it about you and Han Zhi?”
“Well… Brother Changshou, you actually saw through me.” Ao Yi scratched his head and said in a low voice, “I know that this is not right. Han Zhi is my Disciple-Niece. However, ever since her master’s accident, I’ve developed some thoughts that I shouldn’t have. Brother Changshou, do you think I… have some illness?”
Li Changshou shook his head and answered, “Don’t think too much.”
He took out a treasure pouch and took out handfuls of incense from it. He crushed them and gathered them with his Dharmic powers. Then, he rubbed them slowly.
Li Changshou asked casually, “Have you confessed your feelings for her?”
“Yes,” said Ao Yi with a serious expression. “As a male of the dragon race, I must openly admit to my feelings if I fancy someone. It’s not like us to be wishy-washy.”
“Have you gotten rejected?”
“Um… Yes.” Ao Yi lowered his head. “She said that she does not have such thoughts about me. She said that she feels like I’m her younger brother. Ah, I don’t know what’s wrong. Ever since I encountered a group of sullen-faced elders in the South Ocean that year and was… my human body stopped growing.”
Li Changshou nodded calmly and felt a little embarra.s.sed. He rubbed the “incense” ball in his hand and muttered…
“I have some medicinal wine here. Do you want to try it?”
“Huh?” Ao Yi blinked. “What medicinal wine?”
“It’s for replenis.h.i.+ng the Yang of men. After drinking it, your body might react… That’s not right. This has nothing to do with your humanoid body.”
Li Changshou rubbed his hands slowly and pondered over that matter.
Ao Yi is now an important tool of mine… Um, an important business partner. I have to help him.
“Brother Changshou.” Ao Yi looked at the three “ma.s.sive” incense sticks in Li Changshou’s hands, which were gradually taking shape. “What are you doing?” “Later, I’ll go offer incense and pay respects to the Ancestral Grandmaster.” Li Changshou smiled bitterly. “I’ll just ask to be at ease.”
Ao Yi was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization.
No wonder Brother Changshou was chosen as a merit a.s.signee…
His method of offering incense to the Saint is completely different from the others that I had seen!
I’ve learned it.
At that moment, the group of old immortals returned to the jade platform. They were still talking about the small Chain Arrays. All of them were very interested in the topic.
However, a middle-aged Heaven Immortal Elder from the Immortal Du Sect could not help but stand up at that moment. He smiled and said, “Little Changshou not only creates unique array formations. In terms of alchemy, he also…’ “Cough! Cough, cough!”
Daoist Wuyou covered his mouth and coughed. He glared at the elder. The latter snapped out of his daze and quickly shut up.
Therefore, the immortals were even more puzzled…
