Chapter 132 - Genuine Fake Pill (1/2)
“Humans have to experience the whipping of their cultivation lives before they can stand strong in the world. Only then can they compete with the sun and moon for glory and achieve an eternally peaceful life. Cultivation cannot be smooth-sailing. Therefore, we have to try our best to avoid karma. Furthermore, there are always some tribulations brewing in this world. Therefore, we have to be strong enough and experience some hards.h.i.+p in advance before we can survive the tribulation…”
“Is this… the reason you got beaten up by Master for four hours, Senior Brother?”
In Li Changshou’s straw hut, Ling’e could not help but laugh and cry. She frowned and looked at her senior brother who was lying on the straw bed.
The tragic scene of Senior Brother being beaten up just now was indeed the second time Ling’e had encountered something like that after entering the sect.
She did not know what was wrong with her master. He had not been that angry for a long time.
“Senior Brother, what did you do?”
“Heh, that’s not important.” The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched slightly. “Although there was a slip-up during the process, Master should have gotten himself together now.”
“Huh?” Ling’e blinked, slightly confused.
Originally, Li Changshou wanted to ask his master to take a stroll in the town. Then, he would arrange for one or two female Qi Refinement cultivators with lower cultivation levels to take the initiative to strike a conversation with his master, so that his master would regain some confidence.
That way, he would not be able to incur any karma, for they would only be talking to each other. With him controlling the medicinal effects of the Flame of Heart Pill, he would not really make the two parties develop romantic feelings for each other.
Never did he expect…
The people left, embarra.s.sment arrived and the pill shattered.
Although it was only a short moment, the scene of a group of female qi-trainers with strange things swarming towards their master was really…
It was still fresh in his memory, and he had a deep impression of it.
What surprised Li Changshou was the sudden riot of spiritual beasts…
If Li Changshou had not reacted in time, taken advantage of the chaos and rushed out of the town with his master using Earth Escape… he would perhaps have been left behind to bear the losses of the town!
Little Poor Peak could not afford it.
However, he had accidentally discovered that the Flame of Heart Pill seemed to have an unexpected effect on spiritual beasts and demonic beasts.
With that lesson learned, Li Changshou decided to temporarily seal the Flame of Heart Spirit Pill as one of his trump cards. He would use it appropriately in the future.
Indeed, he should have stopped in time after getting the Anti-Reconnoitering Pill.
However, Li Changshou’s initial plan was to use the Flame of Heart to disrupt the other party’s state of mind during the battle in the future and achieve the effect of defeating the enemy.
The attempt to help his master was also a “practical a.s.sessment” of the medicinal effects…
Moreover, the Flame of Heart that was shattered this time was only a grade-one Spirit Pill.
Li Changshou still had a few grade-three Spirit Pills in his hands. He did not know if they could affect the mental state of a Heaven Immortal realm “expert” during a battle.
That was not easy to test.
“Senior Brother, do you need me to rub it for you?”
“There’s no need, there’s no need.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “This injury can heal itself at any time. This time, I was a little unstable when handling the matter. I’ll stay on guard. Go accompany Little Aunt-Master. Don’t let her come over. Otherwise, she will definitely be injured.”
“Alright…”
Lan Ling’e turned around and left the straw hut worriedly.
Li Changshou took in a breath of cold air. He laid on the ground and silently took out a stone slate before beginning to improve the Steadiness Sutra.
A burst of laughter suddenly sounded from the straw hut next door. Li Changshou scanned it with his immortal senses and saw that his master was continuously changing into different Daoist robes. He was also beginning to exude vitality…
Although there were some twists and turns, the effects seemed to have been achieved.
In the secret underground chamber of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou’s main body smiled slightly. He looked at the paper Daoist in the straw hut who had beaten him up and began to comprehend the Dao for the day.
Ever since General Dongmu came to thank him, he had not appeared in the temple for two years.
Li Changshou was not in a hurry. He was very calm.
It would naturally be good if he could obtain the support of the Jade Emperor who had great potential to be useful. If he could not, it would be because the expostulations he had given were too vague. He would continue to go to the Heavenly Courts to earn the position as a G.o.d.
There were gains and losses in everything. That was the truth of the Heavenly Dao.
Moreover, it had only been two years. For Golden Immortals like the Jade Emperor and General Dongmu, a single seclusion and some enlightenment might not be enough for them to handle some major matters…
What made Li Changshou feel slightly relieved was that Elder Wan Linyun had returned safely from the North Continent. He had even specially invited Li Changshou over to admire the ferocious-looking poisonous insects.
Following that, Elder Wan Linyun went into seclusion to attempt creating the immortal sense poisonous pill. The two paper Daoists also stayed by Elder Wan’s side. Although Li Changshou had thought about whether he should secretly provide Elder Wan Linyun with some of the Flame of Heart Spirit Pills that he had refined… Li Changshou dispelled that thought after careful consideration.
Elder Wan Linyun was quite good-looking. Besides, Li Changshou wanted to see what kind of immortal sense poisonous pills Elder Wan Linyun could refine with his poison refinement skills.
He also took a few to expand the inventory of his trump cards.
In the past two years, the days of cultivation had finally returned to their usual stability.
After Lingle and his toxic junior sister discovered the secret to improving their efficiency, the progress of the transformation of the spiritual beast enclosure was very pleasant. They completed it within just a year.
Li Changshou waved his hand and spared the scolding
After the spiritual beast enclosure was completed, Youqin Xuanya felt that she had wasted too much time on cultivation. She also returned to her Cave Abode to cultivate for a long time.
In terms of self-control, Youqin Xuanya’s ability was not bad. She had merely been struck by Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu’s magical technique previously.
Recently, Li Changshou actually wanted to ask Jiu Jiu a question…
She spent every day getting drunk in the Little Qiong Peak. What was the point of creating defensive array formations with all of the savings that she had acc.u.mulated over a thousand years?
However, Jiu Jiu’s cultivation had always been that way. Whenever she gained enlightenment, it would last her for hundreds of years.
It was indeed the true meaning of the Inaction Sutra.
Jiu Jiu’s overall cultivation progress was thirty to forty percent faster than the other Qi Refinement cultivators of the same age who lived in seclusion every day.
However, it was too difficult to achieve inaction. Half of the reason for Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu’s inaction was the fact that she often drank too much.
There was not much going on in the Immortal Downpour Peak. Kuai Si’s disappearance did not affect the Immortal Downpour Peak much.
Throughout the Immortal Downpour Peak, from the widow to the disciples, all of them had seen Kuai Si’s death. They had seen him fight fiercely with others, but he had unfortunately been killed…
That saved Li Changshou a lot of effort. He decided to monitor the Immortal Downpour Peak for another three hundred years.
If no one mentioned that matter again, he would forget it.
If anyone else mentioned it again… Li Changshou could only plan again and end that karma.
Li Changshou had originally thought that the peaceful period of time would last until the opening of the Three Sects’ Meet in the Middle Continent. Therefore, he placed his focus on comprehending the Dao and improving the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra.
He did not expect that the calmness only lasted for two years…
On that day, Jiu Wu rode a cloud and rushed over from Pill Tripod Peak. Li Changshou was immediately alarmed.
