Chapter 152 Pretending to Be Injured — From The Beginner Stage To Giving Up
Li Changshou suddenly fell sick.
It was the day before the Hundred Mortal Hall informed the top thirty-six disciples of the sect compet.i.tion, as well as the ones who had been recommended by the twelve elders, to head to the Hundred Mortal Hall for a meeting…
Li Changshou had grasped the timing accurately.
In fact, Li Changshou had received accurate news when he was using the Wind Speech Incantation to observe the sect. He knew that they would be gathering the disciples tomorrow.
He expected that the conference would be taking place within half a year’s time…
Do they want to choose me as the leader?
They want me to continue fighting at the forefront and resolve all troubles?
It was impossible for him, Li Changshou, to fall for the same trick twice!
This time, Li Changshou first “fell sick”. He even made thorough considerations and came up with countermeasures.
Ling’e hurriedly called Jiu Jiu over. Jiu Jiu quickly brought her Fifth Senior Brother, who had not been in seclusion for many years, to the Little Qiong Peak.
In the straw hut, Li Changshou’s face was pale and his breathing was weak. He lay on the straw bed and his entire body was nothing but feeble.
After Jiu Wu made a detailed diagnosis, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s not a serious injury. It’s just that you failed to break through and injured your essence soul instead, causing your Dao base to be unstable. In such a situation, you cannot use your Dharma powers or your essence soul. However, you only need to recuperate for seven to eight years before you can slowly recover. There won’t be any hidden dangers. Don’t worry.”
Although Ling’e knew that her senior brother must have faked it on purpose, she could not help but ask after hearing Jiu Wu’s words, “What if he uses his Dharma powers?”
“He might easily damage his Dao base.” Jiu Wu muttered to himself. “It’s best not to use it.”
On the bed, Li Changshou, whose lips were pale, said, “Sigh, I wanted to advance by a small stage, but I didn’t think that it would be too forceful… Ahem, ahem…”
Jiu Wu muttered to himself, “I’ll go look for Elder Wan and ask for a pill that can stabilize my essence soul. The quality of my refinement is low, so it’s not safe.”
Ling’e hurriedly asked, “Then, will it let you recover a little earlier, Senior Brother?”
Li Changshou smiled in his heart. He felt that he did not dote on his junior sister in vain.
Jiu Wu said in a low voice, “It’s difficult. You have to recuperate to recover from such injuries. The pills will only allow him to not suffer any more injuries when he recuperates.”
Ling’e sighed softly. She was actually slightly relieved.
Jiu Wu quickly got busy. He went to ask for pills and reported to the Hundred Mortal Hall. He also saved Ling’e from the ha.s.sle of running around.
Li Changshou lay on the bed. The Dharma powers that he had simulated were a little messy.
Later, when his master heard about that matter, he went over anxiously to treat Li Changshou. He almost forgot that his eldest disciple had already transcended the Heavenly Tribulation.
Fortunately, Qi Yuan realized that Li Changshou’s injuries were not serious, so he did not ask further. Instead, he went back to cultivate.
Pretending to be sick seemed like a small matter, but to Li Changshou, it meant a lot.
The visit by Elder Wan Linyun was within Li Changshou’s expectations.
After Elder Wan Linyun carefully checked, he got to the same conclusion as Jiu Wu.
It was a huge affirmation for Li Changshou’s acting skills!
“You… don’t move.” Elder Wan said slowly, “You will recover in six to seven years.
“Don’t be impatient. Your apt.i.tude is already the best. Your awareness is high and your character is good. You’re good-looking. You will definitely be fine.
“Later, if I refine that pill, I’ll come over and give it to you for your appraisal.”
Li Changshou was very touched, but he wanted to remind Elder wan…
You seem to have taken a wrong path when it comes to Immortal Sense Poison Pills. Furthermore, you’re almost going to take the wrong path and create another type of poisonous pill…
Hence, after Elder Wan Linyun left behind many pills for recuperation, he returned to Pill Tripod Peak and did not worry about Li Changshou’s injuries anymore.
Next, Li Changshou estimated… that there was a high chance that a few elders from the Hundred Mortal Hall would come together.
The elders who had received the Ambition Pill in the sect would also form a group to visit the Little Qiong Peak.
He reckoned that he should be able to earn some pills by pretending to be sick this time. Later, he would secretly make the paper effigy sell them in the town. Then, he would be able to replenish the spiritual beast enclosure that he would never be able to fill up.
Actually, what he could not satisfy was not the spiritual beast enclosure, but human desires… and their appet.i.te.
As Li Changshou had expected, after Elder Wan returned, the few “spiritual fish” elders from the Hundred Mortal Hall came together. They touched Li Changshou’s wrist and suggested that he rest peacefully.
Not long after, another few Heaven Immortal elders arrived.
There were eight people who had eaten the Ambition Pill and not gone into seclusion. They were there to visit Li Changshou and asked tactfully if he had any remaining pills.
Li Changshou was naturally prepared. He gave one to each of them.
At that moment, the higher-ups in the sect knew that Li Changshou had injured his essence soul and Dao base because of his rapid cultivation…
The ordinary disciples did not know about it. It had nothing to do with them.
However, from the moment Youqin Xuanya rushed over, things had begun to escalate out of Li Changshou’s expectations…
“Senior Brother Changshou!”
Youqin Xuanya, who was dressed in an icy-blue dress, frowned.
She quickly walked to the bed and looked at the pale Li Changshou. Her eyes were filled with worry.
Ling’e, who was beside the bed, hurriedly said, “Senior Sister, don’t worry. My senior brother’s cultivation level had been disrupted. The elders in the sect have already diagnosed him. After he recuperates, he can recover.”
Youqin Xuanya nodded gently and looked into Li Changshou’s eyes.
For some reason… Li Changshou made eye contact with the Head Disciple of the outer sect of Jie School but he did not panic at all.
However, at that moment, Li Changshou felt a little anxious…
You’re toxic…
He heard Youqin Xuanya say softly, “Senior Brother, I know.”
Li Changshou’s Adam’s apple bobbed. What do you know?
She continued “You must be rus.h.i.+ng to cultivate because you want to make a name for the sect during the Three Sects’ Meet.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
That was really not the case.
“Senior Brother Changshou, don’t worry. As the Head Disciple of this generation, I will definitely take on your promise, Senior Brother Changshou. I will give it my all to fight for the Immortal Du Sect!”
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. If that was just her comprehension, it would not be a big deal.
“Junior Sister Youqin…”
“Senior Brother, don’t say anything. Rest a.s.sured and recuperate!”
Youqin Xuanya hurriedly bent down and gently pressed Li Changshou’s shoulder. Her long hair hung in front of Li Changshou.
Her face was beautiful, but her gaze was filled with determination!
