Chapter 173 - The Little Daoist Master With the Certificate (2/2)
Li Changshou could only lower his head and smile bitterly. It seemed a little inappropriate to use the word ‘clever’ on a two-hundred-year-old mature Qi Refinement cultivator like him. However, it was fortunate that he was not called a little genius or something…
The Great Daoist Master stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, “From the looks of it, these rebels in the city should be retreating after being frightened by you, Little Daoist Master. Tell me, how did you think of using the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts to imitate the Three Pure Ones’ mystical abilities?”
“Great Daoist Master, these are all because my cultivation level is too low and I’m in an unstable place like the Primordial World. Therefore, I have to think of ways to protect myself when I’m in danger.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Great Daoist Master, you have great achievements. You have to worry about Ren School every day. Naturally, you won’t think about these tricks.”
It was obvious that Li Changshou was hinting at something… Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and shook his head. He then asked, “You seemed to be interested in letting Little Daoist Master Xuan Du leave a bad impression on others. Why?”
“This…” Li Changshou deliberated over his words and said, “I feel that the Dao of disguise should not be just a superficial aura. His gaze, temperament, speech, actions, and even words that he often says, should be different. Only then will the enemy be confused. For example, I used a paper effigy to turn into an old woman and called myself an old woman. Just now, I hid my body and aura and went out to fight the enemy. I used the ident.i.ty of Little Daoist Master Xuan Du, so I was more confident. It fits the words and actions of a disciple of yours. I’m slightly conceited, and I’m a little inexperienced…” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du looked enlightened. He looked at Li Changshou and smiled.
“In terms of meticulousness, I’m inferior to you. In the future, I still have to spend more time on comprehending the Great Dao and understanding nature. I shouldn’t be scheming, or Teacher won’t like it.”
Li Changshou’s expression was serious. He bowed and said, “I will follow your instructions, Great Daoist Master.”
All of a sudden, a few curses were heard from the chaotic voices outside.
“Don’t let these traitors escape!”
“The dragon race is approaching. Stop them!”
Due to the sudden appearance of “Little Daoist Master Xuan Du” and the threat of him “easily” killing a Golden Immortal, the Sea Clan rebellion army had already removed the array formation and quickly retreated to the deep sea.
Seeing this, the Sea Clan’s generals, ministers, guards, and maidservants, who had been hiding during the chaotic battle, suddenly appeared in a magical manner and rushed to Ao Yi, who was in the corner of the city. “Guard! Guard!”
“Your Highness Ao Yi, I have arrived late!” Li Changshou kept the four paper effigies and used his immortal senses to look at Ao Yi’s current situation. His expression… became a little strange…
Grandmaster Xuan Du smiled and said, “It’s fine. Let’s go.”
“Great Daoist Master, I’m worried about Ao Yi’s safety. I wonder if I can ask you to stay for a while longer.” Li Changshou lowered his head and said, “Demons are cunning. I’m worried that there are traitors in this place.”
The Great Daoist Master nodded. “Alright.”
Then, the Great Daoist Master came up with another question to test how Li Changshou would make use of that matter next.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and deliberated his words. He could only say that he would act according to the situation and see the exact reaction of the dragon race. At the current stage, he would respond to all changes by not changing.
If the dragon race guessed that the Heavenly Courts were helping and had a good impression of the Heavenly Courts, he would let nature take its course.
If they got wary of the Heavenly Courts, he could use Ao Yi and other methods to eliminate their vigilance…
This time, it was the Western Sect who made the move. The Ren School had already foiled the Western Sect’s scheme. Ren School was not at a loss.
The only reason that the Heavenly Courts could make its presence known a little was because Li Changshou had a sudden inspiration and the Heavenly Courts had made a small profit… “Changshou.” the Great Daoist Master instructed, “If you do well, the Heavenly Dao will definitely send you a lot of merits to reward you. With merit protecting you, your cultivation path will be much safer. You need to spend more effort on this matter. The Heavenly Dao will give you more merit.”
After saying that, the Great Daoist Master took out a jade pendant from his chest pocket and clenched it slightly. The jade pendant slowly melted and condensed into a green jade token. On the front, there were five large words written in bold and lively fonts -“Little Daoist Master Xuan Du!”
On the back, there were the words ‘Ren School’ and ‘Great Daoist Master’.
The most important thing was the wisp of Dao runes had been infused into the jade token.
“If the Western Sect finds trouble with you, take this out and give it to them.” Grandmaster Xuan Du said calmly, “We don’t have many people in Ren School. In fact, only my teacher and I are in charge of this, but you don’t have to be afraid of the Western Sect. When you transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation, I’ll bring you to the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace to greet the Grand Supreme Elder first. When that happens, we’ll see how your luck is. I hope that you will not be arrogant, and instead be patient, and remember to stay calm and quiet at all times. This is Teacher’s teachings to all disciples.”
Li Changshou held the jade token with both hands and felt much more at ease. He said firmly, “Today, I will definitely not forget a single word that you have taught me, Great Daoist Master!”
The Great Mage praised Li Changshou repeatedly. He raised his hand and patted Li Changshou’s arm. His eyes were filled with admiration and gratification.
At that moment, a series of roars of dragons came from the sea. Dozens of azure dragons rushed into the sea and swam towards the place at high speed.
“Let’s go.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du waved his long sleeve and turned Li Changshou and himself into two b.a.l.l.s of smoke before disappearing into the seawater.
From the beginning to the end, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du did not reveal his whereabouts at all.
The name of Little Daoist Master Xuan Du was also officially spread throughout the Primordial World…
When the experts from the dragon race rushed over, they stared at each other in shock upon sight of the scene…
A dragon-headed elder said with a trembling voice, “Didn’t you say that His Highness the Second Prince is in trouble and that chaotic battle might have erupted here? Why, why… are things like this?”
“Look, His Highness the Second Prince is over there!”
“Uh, should we not disturb them?”
“Hey! Quickly set up the barrier! What kind of behavior is this!?! Why did they lead His Highness astray!?!”
Immediately, a group of dragon race experts split into two teams. One team chased after the rebellion army, while the other team… went to protect their Second Prince.
Li Changshou did not even get to bid farewell to the Great Daoist Master this time. After being in a daze in the seawater, he appeared near Jiu Wu and his paper effigies. He was less than 500 kilometers away from the paper effigy that was meditating.
The Great Daoist Master had already left.
Li Changshou sighed softly. He looked at the jade token in his hand and smiled.
Another life-saving amulet!
The loss of fifty-six miniature array disks was worth it. Hmm, I’ll look for the wealthy dragon family and get themto reimburse me later. That would be a profit…
What Li Changshou did not know was that the Great Daoist Master had left in a hurry because of something else.
The Great Daoist Master returned to the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace of the Heavenly Courts and went to the place where the Grand Supreme Elder was in seclusion to seek an audience. He asked if the Grand Supreme Elder had all the thirty-six mystical abilities.
What kind of expert was the Grand Supreme Elder? He was the incarnation of a Saint and was half a Saint. He would naturally not collect such a mystical ability that was just organized by the Immortals of the Dao Sect.
It was too low-level…
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du bowed and bade farewell. He then secretly went to the Dao Repository of Ren School and the other Immortal Sects to search carefully.
It’s just a Man-Forming Paper Cutouts technique but Little Changshou managed to use it to get up to so many tricks. I really wanted to see how much fun this fellow would be able to get up to after learning the Dharmic formulations such as Soldier Formation, Stone Armor, and Cloud-forming Immortal!
Hahahahahaha…
Li Changshou, who was trying to use his real body to replace his paper effigy while exhibiting Earth Escape, sneezed. He frowned and pondered. He began to a.n.a.lyze why he had such a reaction. He was worried that his ident.i.ty as a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect had been exposed…
Half a day later, in a luxurious yet s.p.a.cious palace, corals were placed everywhere, and bubbles floated.
On the bed, Ao Yi opened his eyes. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The unfamiliar ceiling…
An unfamiliar aura…
An unfamiliar woman… Huh?!
