Chapter 141 - Daoist Changgeng (1/2)
The dragon race fought with the mosquitoes and I became the winner?
When he received the thank-you gift from the dragon race, Li Changshou only had a vague feeling
When Li Changshou received the Jade Emperor’s reward, he finally understood something…
Although the dragon race had won that battle, he had indeed profited from it. He had only wasted a bit of his immortal energy. The Sea G.o.d Sect suffered some losses from the wreckage of the temples but he obtained a small pile of treasures.
He had also obtained the dragon race’s grat.i.tude and done them quite a huge favor.
How many times have I accepted that deal?
Forget it, it would be best if nothing happens.
Most of the treasures given by the Dragon Palace were precious Spirit Stones. A small amount of them were pure treasures like corals, pearls, and luminous pearls.
Naturally, the Dragon Palace would not give away common items like gold and silver. The precious materials, spirit stones, and the dozens of large boxes were all taken by Li Changshou’s paper effigies. They were useless in the mortal world.
There were many storage bags, and they played a crucial role here!
Li Changshou had given a portion of the treasures to the Magihuman Divine Envoys of Xiong Village, who had performed well. A portion of them was used to build the temple.
After this…
Li Changshou reckoned that the two paper effigies would be busy and spend ten days to half a month on just counting and handling the materials, and placing the secret Magi restrictions on them.
However, with this help…
There could be a huge advancement in Little Qiong Peak’s comprehensive defense array and Little Qiong Peak’s vagrant plan!
Although he had a supporter, he still had to run, ahem…
Although he had the backing of a big shot now, he still had to be fully prepared to deal with any emergency situations.
If you’re too conceited when a good thing happens, there will definitely be some mishaps that were not of an equal level. Li Changshou pondered for a while. The joy in his heart gradually turned into worry and he began to inspect his surroundings. However, just as Li Changshou finished counting the treasures given by the Dragon Palace, the familiar figure arrived at the familiar street and entered the familiar temple…
He was naturally General Dongmu, who had brought the Jade Emperor with him.
Li Changshou made one of the paper effigies turn into a thin, white-haired old man. He carried a horsetail whisk and was clad in a white robe as he rushed to meet General Dongmu.
Previously, Li Changshou had instructed General Dongmu to go to a different Sea G.o.d Temple, but his words had completely fallen on deaf ears.
After entering the spiritual painting of mountains and river, General Dongmu asked with concern, “Is the Sea G.o.d okay?”
“Yes, thank you for your concern.”
“This time, I’m not the only one who’s concerned. His Majesty is the one who sent me here.”
“Oh? Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!”
Li Changshou cupped his hands towards the sky. His smile did not change much.
General Dongmu secretly sized him up. For some reason, when he saw that Sea G.o.d’s… paper effigy, he felt that the other party’s charm and Dao runes were slightly different.
It seemed… the Sea G.o.d was much more composed and confident than before. His white hair had become much softer and brighter.
“Sea G.o.d, this is a gift from His Majesty.”
General Dongmu held two storage bracelets and smiled. “Therefore, the Heavenly Court’s decree has yet to be formed. The G.o.d Position has yet to be restored. This time, the reward will not be honorable.”
Li Changshou walked forward and held the treasure in his hand. He said seriously, “Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty!”
Then, he casually grabbed a bracelet without looking at it. He took half a step forward and handed it to General Dongmu.
“General Dongmu…”
“Hey, what are you doing!?! I’m not that kind of immortal G.o.d!”
General Dongmu frowned and waved his hand. Li Changshou smiled and handed it over. He said, “It’s all thanks to the fact that you had put in a good word for me in front of His Majesty, General Dongmu. Take this as a wedding gift from me…”
The two figures inside the spiritual painting could be seen pus.h.i.+ng each other and turning each other’s gifts down. It took a while before they stopped.
Hence, the rewards from the Jade Emperor were reduced by half.
Li Changshou’s heart was twitching, but he knew that it was a necessary step. According to the conversation he had with Elder Moon, he found out that the Immortal G.o.ds of the Heavenly Courts were interested in that…
After that, the two of them chatted for a v and talked about irrelevant topics.
Li Changshou was not in a hurry to tell the Jade Emperor about the dragon race. Not only was the time not right now, but it was also easy for the Jade Emperor to be suspicious if he spoke too much.
General Dongmu tried to find a topic to talk about. He wanted to find out Li Changshou’s name. However, Li Changshou changed the topic without him noticing.
In the end, Dong Mugong had no choice but to ask directly, “We’re getting closer, Fellow Daoist. It’s rude of me to not know your Daoist name. May I know your name, Fellow Daoist? It’d be easier for me to report to His Majesty.” Li Changshou immediately smiled and nodded. However, his mind was racing.
Should I tell him my real name?
Wouldn’t that be a waste of the Saint’s help and effort to cover up for me?
Although his future plans were still to work in the Heavenly Courts and follow the Jade Emperor and Grand Supreme Elder, the image of the old immortal would be destroyed if the Jade Emperor knew that the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean was not a hidden expert but a disciple. His prestige would be greatly reduced, and it would not be convenient for him to do anything
Li Changshou still wanted to be somewhat mysterious towards the Jade Emperor…
His heart skipped a beat.
My name is Li Changshou. How about…
Li Changshou smiled and said, “The Xuan Sect is in a wonderful realm. The immortal spirits are raised by themselves.
I have no other intentions. I have to seek immortality.”
General Dongmu frowned and said, “Fellow Daoist, is your Dao name hidden in those four sentences?”
Li Changshou smiled and asked, “Master Mu, do you know how many names are there in Ren School?”
General Dongmu could not help but think, Aren’t there only two people from Ren School?
One is the Grand Pure One, while the other is the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du…
That’s right. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du does not have any Daoist name or name. Furthermore, he has the Taiji Painting to ensure that his luck is not affected.
Do the experts of Ren School not like to use names?
In that case, how do they usually tell others about their names?
I am an intermediate Daoist in Xuandu Temple. I am Xuandu Temple’s Little Whirlwind. I am the Little Tyrant of the Grand Pure One…
General Dongmu composed himself and smiled bitterly. “But how should I report this to His Majesty?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’ll give myself a Daoist name now. From today onwards, I’ll call myself Daoist Changgeng. You may tell that to His Majesty.”
“Sure!”
General Dongmu smiled and bowed to Li Changshou before returning to the Heavenly Palace to report.
After Li Changshou sent General Dongmu off, he took a look at the item bestowed by the Jade Emperor. It was nothing more than just some Spirit Stones and precious materials.
Although the Heavenly Courts had plenty of merit now, there were not many treasures. Li Changshou spent a month to secretly transport the treasures he could use back to the Immortal Du Sect after receiving the rewards from the dragon race and the Jade Emperor.
Li Changshou looked for Lingle and told her not to neglect her cultivation.
He went to report to his master that he was going to enter seclusion for five to ten years and asked his master to urge his junior sister to cultivate.
