Chapter 167 - You Think I’ve Lost, But… (1/2)
“Brother, the seniors have all left.”
Xiong Lingli looked up at the sky and muttered softly.
Li Changshou, who was meditating in the shadows beside her, nodded slowly. He did not look up and only lowered his head to think.
Li Changshou’s heart twitched when he saw Youqin Xuanya, who was cultivating and gaining enlightenment in the boundary.
He was thinking of an immortal pill called the ‘Reverse Ambition Pill’ and was planning to use it to counter the poisonous attacks of his toxic junior sister…
Li Changshou had made up for the times that he had made use of her previously, by giving her the Faraday Cages to help her survive the Heavenly Tribulation.
When she comes to Little Qiong Peak later, I’ll avoid her and not bid her farewell.
That way, he could gradually reduce the implications and avoid getting more karma from her in the future.
There was a saying in the Steadiness Sutra”If one has many friends, there is no way of hiding. If there are few friends, there will be no trouble.
I… will not be deceived!
Li Changshou shook his head slightly in his heart. He prayed for peace on the Immortal Path and a chance to lead a peaceful life.
As for the Faraday Cage…
The Great “Origin” Immortals left, signifying the end of the main show of the Three Sects’ Meet.
However, to the immortals of the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools on the ground, there were many other miscellaneous and complicated things to do.
The matter about someone stirring trouble, which Sect Leader Ji Wuyou was worried about, should not be far away…
As expected, as soon as the immortals from the three sects had just dispersed, the members of the Carefree Immortal Sect of Ren School and the other four Immortal Sects went to look for Ji Wuyou together. After some small talk, Ji Wuyou looked for Li Changshou.
“Changshou.” Ji Wuyou smiled and shot Li Changshou a glance. “Come and meet the seniors.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
Li Changshou walked forward and bowed to the three old male and two old female immortals in front of him. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. He was slightly nervous.
“I’m Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect… Greetings, Sect Leaders.”
An old woman smiled and said warmly, “You’re really lucky.”
She was naturally talking about Youqin Xuanya’s confession.
As expected, if the five of them did not come into contact with his Dao Body, they would not be able to see through the sixth version of his Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra… Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, the old woman continued in a gentle voice, “Changshou, do you know how many disciples of Ren School who would otherwise be destroyed in the Heavenly Tribulation, transcend the tribulation because of your birdcage?”
“I know that you don’t have any refining techniques, but can you take the birdcages out and let me examine them? You might be able to find the method to refine it. Then, you will be rewarded greatly. I will give you a generous gift.”
Generous gift…
Li Changshou glanced at the Sect Leader, Daoist Wuyou, who gently winked at him…
What does that mean?
Li Changshou frowned slightly, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. “Please… please forgive me, seniors. I’m afraid I can’t take out that item.”
The old woman frowned. “Why can’t you take it out? Do you want to enjoy it alone? Or are you only willing to use it in the Immortal Du Sect?”
Another old man said in a low voice, “The Six Immortal Sects of Ren School are related to each other. It’s probably not appropriate for you to keep this to yourself…”
Li Changshou looked at his Sect Leader again, only to see that Daoist Wuyou looked troubled…
Forget it, the Sect Leader is a little unreliable. He shot me a glance too slowly.
Fortunately, he had already thought of a solution.
Li Changshou hurriedly bowed with a Dao salute and spoke in a voice that was filled with helplessness and was getting softer.
“I naturally don’t dare to hide it. However, helping others transcend the Heavenly Tribulation would result in karma… Although this item was extremely difficult to refine, there are definitely many masters of alchemy in the sect. It should not be difficult to replicate. Seniors, all of you are the Sect Leaders of large sects. Can you… guarantee that this item will not be spread outside Ren School?”
He continued, “I feel that once this item is spread to others, we will gain merit if it helps a good immortal to obtain the Dao. However, if it is used to help an evil immortal obtain the Dao, it will definitely bring about karma. In the Immortal Du Sect’s ‘Inaction Sutra’ that I’ve studied, we are warned… to adopt the law of inaction and follow the laws of nature…”
The Sect Leaders of the five Immortal Sects frowned and were momentarily speechless.
The Immortal Du Sect disciples were puzzled when they heard that. However, the elders nodded.
His eyes were filled with emotions, especially when he looked at Li Changshou’s back…
Ji Wuyou smiled and took two steps forward. He stood between Li Changshou and the five Sect Leaders of the immortal sects of Ren School.
Li Changshou calmed down slightly. He knew that the Sect Leader supported him, so he did not have much to worry about. When there’s a chance later, I’ll think of a way to introduce the Sect Leader to the Great Daoist Master. After all, the Sect Leader is also a Golden Immortal. He can also run errands in Tus.h.i.+ta Palace…
Yes, I definitely am not trying to find a new Dharma treasure man for the Great Daoist Master!
A white-haired old man smiled and said, “In the Three Realms of the Primordial World, who can really avoid karma? Changshou, you’re actually over-thinking.” “I’m not…”
Li Changshou paused for a moment and was slightly surprised.
It was entirely because his immortal senses had captured one of the immortals from Chan School’s Jade Void Palace, who was thin and old, returning with a flower basket…
Judging from the direction of his cloud, he seems to be heading here.
Yun Zhongzi!
Could it be that this Primordial Master of Alchemy… is also interested in the Faraday Cage?
Li Changshou thought about it and continued, “I’m not over-thinking. I just think that this item was entrusted to me by an elder, and if I were to cause trouble for the reincarnation of that elder, wouldn’t that be…”
“It won’t be as serious as you make it out to be.” Another old woman smiled and sighed. “It’ll be fine if you take it out and just show it to us.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and deliberately stalled some time to wait for Yun Zhongzi.
Li Changshou waited for Yun Zhongzi to reach a spot that was about fifty kilometers away from the place and listened carefully. Then, he said hesitantly,
“It’s fine for you to take a look. However, we have to have a master of alchemy here. If he sees it and says that this item cannot be refined, please do not make things difficult for me later. I’ve only been on the path of cultivation for two hundred years. I… can’t afford it.”
Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “Don’t worry. All the Sect Leaders are the mainstays of Ren School. How can they make things difficult for a mere disciple like you?”
The two of them echoed one another, making the rest speechless.
The five Sect Leaders of the immortal sects of Ren School started to discuss. Before they could come to a conclusion, they heard laughter from the sky.
“Can you let me take a look?”
As he spoke, Yun Zhongzi’s figure appeared fifty kilometers away. He used the Cosmic escape technique and left a few afterimages in the air. His cultivation level was undoubtedly revealed.
The moment Yun Zhongzi appeared, Ji Wuyou and the other five Sect Leaders, as well as the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect and the two immortal sects, bowed and said, “Greetings, Senior. (Merit Golden Immortal, Uncle-Master)”
Li Changshou was really nervous at that moment. He was worried that that big shot would see through his disguise and cause more trouble.
However, Li Changshou did not expect that Yun Zhongzi would send a voice transmission to him.
