Chapter 267 Take Care, Old Friends
Where did Senior Brother go all these years?
In the straw hut, Ling’e sat in front of the gla.s.s mirror and quietly combed her long hair. It was the second day after Li Changshou returned to the sect.
Yesterday, she saw her senior brother’s paper effigy going out and returning quickly. When she heard her senior brother’s voice transmission, her heart finally calmed down. However, she began to feel puzzled.
If he had become Dao companions with someone else in the past twelve years, he might have three or four children now!
However, if she asked her senior brother that question, she would make her senior brother feel that she was interfering too much, thus causing him to distance himself from her…
Ling’e pursed her lips and thought about it. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
No!
I still have to try and sound Senior Brother out!
Yes, no matter what… she would treat Senior Brother’s children as her own!
After making up her mind, Ling’e immediately got busy. She carefully dressed herself in the mirror, but tried her best to prevent others from seeing that she was dolled up. She put on some blush, tied up her hair, and pursed her red lips. Not long after, she dressed up in vibrant clothes and looked as beautiful as usual.
She carried the dishes that she had prepared and hummed the tune that she had written recently. Ling’e rode a cloud and slowly drifted towards the Pill Chamber. When she arrived at the border of the array formation, the array formation outside the Pill Chamber was automatically unlocked. However, a voice transmission entered Ling’e’s ears.
“If there’s nothing important, we’ll meet again in half a month. I’m stabilizing my realm.”
Ling’e blinked when she heard that. She wanted to say something but hesitated. She quickly said, “Senior Brother, go ahead. I just wanted to welcome you!” Li Changshou chuckled and said, “Are you really just welcoming me?” “This…”
Ling’e immediately played dumb and chuckled. Since she did not dare to lie, she could only pretend to be stunned. However, Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “I’m going out for serious matters this time.” “Oh.” Ling’e heaved a sigh of relief. Her senior brother seemed to have seen through her thoughts and gave her such an answer.
He meant that he was not busy with something else other than the important matters…
That’s right. With Senior Brother’s troublesome personality, his heart can’t be won in just twelve years!
“Senior Brother, I’ll go and give the food to Master.”
“Go.” Li Changshou’s voice sounded. The array formation outside the Pill Chamber was slowly activated again. Li Changshou’s stared at Ling’e’s back with his immortal senses as she left. He tapped his fingers on the table and continued to think about a huge problem… Taibai Jinxing, Taibai Jinxing.
His alias actually corresponded to the old courtesan in the Heavenly Courts!
At that moment, Li Changshou was really at a loss for words. He kept repeating that sentence… I am the head of the Heavenly Courts’ officials. I am trusted by the Jade Emperor. You’ve been beaten by a monkey. I am from Ren School and am familiar with the Great Daoist Master. I have also obtained the mystical Dao of alchemy from the Elder Lord.” You’ve been beaten by a monkey.
I…
You’ve been beaten by a monkey. Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
I have a vulgarity that I don’t know if I should say.
He spent about three days adjusting his mentality and accepted the matter with an apprehensive att.i.tude. “There’s nothing to be happy about.” Knowing that he might become Taibai Jinxing in the future Heavenly Courts did not mean that he could safely pa.s.s the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. It could not be said that he could rest easy in the future…
Firstly, he could not rule out the possibility that if something happened to him during the G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, the Saint would casually create a Dharma treasure person to fill the gap. Secondly, it was not a good thing to become the number one minister of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts. There were two sides to everything. The Dao Sect could prosper and then decline. Even the Heavenly Courts could not escape that theorem. Although the Heavenly Courts had yet to rise, he still had to think further… The Heavenly Courts would give him merit because he worked for the Heavenly Courts. After that, they would not owe each other anything. That was the ideal situation that Li Changshou was pursuing. Also… The joke that he had heard in his previous life – a young man had gone for a divination. The fortune-teller had said that he would be able to live to 80 years old. Then, he lived aimlessly to 80 years old with paraplegia. Although it was a joke, the logic was very profound. If he wanted to live forever, he had to live forever healthily. It was the most important thing to avoid the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation safely!
He sighed and thought, ‘I might as well pretend that I don’t know about this. This will definitely affect my judgment of some things in the future.’
Li Changshou pondered for a long time.
To be safe, he decided to do something terrible to himself…
After spending a few days, he figured out a simple Dharma spell and temporarily sealed his memories of ‘Taibai Jinxing Changgeng’ with a restriction technique!
If he heard the words ‘Taibai Jinxing’in the future, that portion of his memories would be unlocked
Furthermore, he had kept some of his “memories” sealed. He could take the initiative to recall that matter at any time…
After reaching the Golden Immortal realm, he could already figure out some simple Dharma spells. Li Changshou took out a piece of cloth and began to plan his cultivation. In the next hundred years, most of his attention would be focused on his main body. He would quietly comprehend the Dao and experience the mysterious Dao Realm. Everything else would be monitored and observed.
Although he had become a Golden Immortal, he still could not fight against the disciples of the Western Sect Saints, Daoist Wen Jing, and Jin Chanzi.
The difference was still huge.
Li Changshou knew that.
After reaching the Golden Immortal realm, cultivation would become slow and boring. He would have a long lifespan, and he would need a long time to experience his own Great Dao… Li Changshou’s concept of time changed again. In the blink of an eye, half a month pa.s.sed quietly.
On the day that he agreed to meet Ling’e, Li Changshou specially freed up half a day to call Ling’e and Xiong Lingli to his straw hut by the lake to lecture Ling’e. Xiong Lingli was purely sitting in for lessons. Ling’e stared at Li Changshou for a while. Her nose twitched slightly as she muttered, “Senior Brother, why do I feel that you’re different from before?” Li Changshou nodded with a smile and said, “How am I different?”
“Well… I can’t tell you the specifics.” Ling’e pursed her lips and muttered softly. She could only blink. Li Changshou said warmly, “Sit down. I’ll tell you about Immortal Ascension.” Ling’e frowned slightly. Senior Brother is indeed different…
He has never been so gentle to me before! There must be a problem! However, Li Changshou’s next sentence was, “Regarding the matter of you neglecting your cultivation, I will punish you by making you copy the sutras later. This time, you will start by copying a thousand times and reach the top of copying it ten thousand times. Don’t worry.” Ling’e giggled when she heard that. She immediately calmed down.
This is what Senior Brother is like!
At that moment, Li Changshou had given Ling’e pointers on the Dao of Immortal Ascension. He had a different understanding of it. He made improvements to the old logic. He also had a faint insight.
Look at him.
He was talking about the Grand Pure One and the True Intent of Inaction.
Not long after, two lotus flowers appeared around Li Changshou. One of them entered Ling’e’s body, while the other entered Xiong Lingli’s body. Both of them were pulled into the Dao Enlightenment realm. That was a Dao-imparting technique. It could be considered an ability that only those who had reached the Golden Immortal realm could have.
Back then, when the Dao Ancestor of the Purple Cloud Palace preached the Dao, most of the powerful living beings in the world had gathered in one hall. When the Dao Ancestor preached the Dao, there were lotus flowers. Each lotus flower carried a Great Dao.
The three lectures of the Purple Cloud Palace were the best opportunities in the Primordial World in the past. From then on, the Essence Soul Dao had established its “rule”. Apart from the Magi, there were almost no physical cultivators.
The lotus flower that appeared when Li Changshou was preaching naturally could not be compared to those during the Dao preachings of the Purple Cloud Palace’s Dao Ancestor.
What was contained in the lotus flower was only his understanding of the Dao. He taught it to Ling’e and Xiong Lingli in a complete manner, so that they could slowly comprehend it in the future.
