Chapter 225 - I, Fugui Am Not Worthy Of Having A Dao Companion! (1/2)
“Elder, I would like to ask for your help…”
Under the bright sunlight, Elder Wan Linyun held his bronze walking stick and slowly flew towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
If it were anyone else who made such a request, Elder Wan Linyun would probably not even turn his head back and simply just send a Bewitching Pill over.
However, that request was made by Li Changshou…
That was quite different. Changshou is kind-hearted and pure. He often has his own unique insight on the Dao of alchemy and poisonous pills. He is also kind to others…
There were too many merits.
Changshou definitely had a reason for letting him do that.
Elder Wan Linyun arrived at the Heaven-Breaking Peak on a cloud. A few disciples who had just left the peak trembled. They tensed up and bowed respectfully…
Wan Linyun nodded slowly. With a stern face, he walked towards the w.a.n.g Qing Residence beside the Nine Jiu Immortals Abode.
The w.a.n.g Qing Residence was a small building that was built on the edge of the cliff. From the name, one could tell that it was… w.a.n.g Fugui’s cultivation hut.
When they arrived in front of the building, a beautiful figure flew out on a cloud and welcomed them. It was Jiu Yiyi, the eldest disciple of Exalted w.a.n.g Qing.
“Greetings, Elder Wan.”
Jiu Yiyi, who was dressed in a colorful dress, bowed forward and revealed a polite smile. “Elder, are you looking for Master?” Elder Wan Linyun smiled coldly. Even though she knew that the poisonous elder was smiling normally, Jiu Yiyi could not help but feel her scalp go numb. She subconsciously wanted to retreat.
“I’m here to talk to your master about alchemy.” Jiu Yiyi hurriedly said, “Elder, please don’t blame me. My master has recently realized something and is in seclusion. I’m afraid…”
Just as Jiu Yiyi finished speaking, she heard a soft sigh from the pavilion.
“It’s fine. I’m prepared to come out of seclusion. Elder Wan Linyun, please enter.”
Jiu Yiyi hurriedly acknowledged and retreated to the side.
Elder Wan Linyun nodded slightly. He took two steps in the air with his walking stick. His thin figure had already arrived in front of the building and floated in.
In the w.a.n.g Qing Residence, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing, who was dressed in a long green robe, was welcoming him outside. When he saw Wan Linyun, he immediately cupped his hands and said, “Greetings, Elder Wan.”
w.a.n.g Fugui entered the sect later. In terms of seniority, he was after Elder Wan Linyun.
“You and I are both elders in the sect. However, Elder, you are more senior than me. You don’t have to bow like that.”
Elder Wan Linyun said that. Exalted w.a.n.g Qing smiled and gestured for Elder Wan Linyun to sit down calmly.
On Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou, who had captured that scene from afar with his immortal senses, suddenly had a thought…
Exalted w.a.n.g Qing was indeed avoiding his little grandmaster.
Why did he hide?
Hasn’t he mentally prepared himself to stop being a bachelor? Or is he afraid that he will lose face because he can’t bring himself to do it?
Li Changshou sat on the rocking chair and quietly thought about it.
If that had happened because of his ‘Newlyweds Collection’, he would have to do something to salvage the situation.
This is really…
It is difficult to predict the mysterious emotions of humans.
The surroundings of the w.a.n.g Qing Residence were quickly protected by array formations and boundaries, blocking Li Changshou’s immortal senses.
However, it did not matter.
Since he had invited Elder Wan Linyun, Li Changshou naturally came up with a plan.
At that moment, there was a paper effigy hidden in Elder Wan Linyun’s sleeve. On the paper effigy was a ‘Two-Hearts Connection’.
It was a Dharma artifact that could be used for spiritual communication. It was a product of the Changshou trinket series.
Hence, Li Changshou could listen to the two seniors’ conversation throughout the entire process. He could also communicate with Elder Wan Linyun in time.
However…
After the array formation was activated, Elder Wan Linyun and Exalted w.a.n.g Qing fell into silence.
If it were not for the sound of wind, the chirping of birds outside the door, and the occasional howl that would only come from Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu’s house when she was extremely bored…
Li Changshou almost thought that his paper effigy had failed.
After his Grandmaster returned to the mountain, Jiu Jiu did not dare to go to the Little Qiong Peak anymore. During this period, Ling’e would bring wine over.
This made her, who had been in seclusion several times, feel like she was about to go crazy.
In w.a.n.g Qing’s Residence,
Exalted w.a.n.g Qing and Elder Wan Linyun took their seats in the hall. The mood gradually turned awkward.
The two of them did not have much interaction in the first place. Occasionally, they would meet each other at an official occasion. They would discuss important matters of the sect, and they would see each other less than once or twice in a thousand years.
In other words, they were not familiar with each other.
After a while, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing said, “Elder Wan, why are you here this time…?”.
Elder Wan Linyun pondered for a moment. Thinking of the advice from Changshou, he sneered.
The man was confused. He did not know how he had offended the elder. He frowned and waited for Elder Wan to speak.
Elder Wan Linyun pondered and asked, “Do you have a Dao companion?”
Dao companion?
Even though Exalted w.a.n.g Qing was a little confused, he still answered immediately, “I, your Disciple-Nephew, have a Dao companion. However, I have not informed the sect yet. My Dao companion is Jiang Lin’er from the Little Qiong Peak. She has also mentioned you many times.”
“Yes, I take care of Jiang Lin’er.
You don’t have to call yourself a disciple-nephew. You have broken the sect rules.”
Elder Wan Linyun replied indifferently. Li Changshou’s voice sounded in his heart…
Elder, that’s not what I want you to talk to him about.
“Ahem.” Elder Wan Linyun cleared his throat and pressed his walking stick with his hands. He looked at Exalted w.a.n.g Qing and continued, “Since you have a Dao partner, it’s simple. “I have been refining a type of elixir recently. It is targeted at human Qi-Refinement cultivators who are at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm. I don’t know how effective it is, so I want to try it on you.”
Exalted w.a.n.g Qing smiled and said, “So that’s what happened. Elder, just say it.”
Elder Wan Linyun said calmly, “Did I beat around the bush?”
“No.” Exalted w.a.n.g Qing smiled apologetically. Elder Wan Linyun had already taken out a brocade pouch.
The brocade pouch was made by Li Changshou. It contained the latest version of the Ambition Pill…
There was a Love Water overdose warning.
Elder Wan Linyun continued, “This pill is for someone with a Dao companion… You know what it means, right?”
“I know.” Exalted w.a.n.g Qing smiled, but his smile froze. He sighed and said, “But I only have a rough idea. Overall, I’m not proficient. To be honest, Elder Wan, I’m also worried about this matter.”
