Chapter 186 The Answer Isn’t That Simple!
A golden ray of light flashed, and a young dragon in a brocade robe with horns on his head appeared beside the Treasure Pool once again. He seemed to be in a daze.
Brother Changshou...
No, is Brother Sect Master so frightening when it comes to making friends?
Thinking about how he had lost his composure several times in his Master’s Cave Abode due to his shock, Ao Yi’s face turned red...
The breeze of the ocean carried a faint salty smell.
Ao Yi shook his head gently. He could not help but think about the dignified, elegant, and poised demeanor of his Aunt-Master that he had seen from afar.
Ao Yi had grown up looking at beautiful women. The personality of the women from the Sea Clan who were chosen to enter the Dragon Palace did not matter. They just had to be good-looking people who had taken human form.
Even so, Ao Yi was shocked when he saw that Aunt-Master from afar...
There was something even more amazing!
That Aunt-Master actually showed concern to his Brother Sect Master!
That’s right. The reason his master, the Great Black Clouds Immortal, had called him over this time was to ask about the... preferences of the Sect Master of the Sea God.
That was naturally not asked by his master. His master’s first main body was the huge island itself. His second main body was serving in Green Touring Palace. If the Sect Master did not go to Golden Ao Island, his master would not have any connections with his Brother Sect Master.
The person who was investigating the matter was the Aunt-Master. Among the eight disciples of the Saint of Jie School, she was the most mysterious and least visible one...
The eldest of the Three Xiao Immortals, Fairy Yun Xiao!
How did he hook up, ahem, get acquainted with her?
Ao Yi frowned as he thought about it. He stared at the tiny ripples created by the sea breeze and could not recover from it for a long time.
Ah, the Sect Master is indeed the Sect Master!
Before he became an immortal, he had already been highly regarded by the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du. Now, he has obtained the care and concern of the most mysterious fairy of the Three Xiao Immortals, Fairy Yun Xiao.
According to his master, Aunt-Master Yun Xiao owed the Sect Master a favor. She wanted to give the Sect Master a gift so that she could sever the karma between them.
This...
Did he really think that the dragon race can be fooled easily?
Ao Yi laughed in his heart.
Of course, if it happened decades ago, he might have really been fooled.
Now, he, Ao Yi, had been with the Sect Master for such a long time. He could already see through the superficial meaning of many things and dig out the deeper meaning!
If she only owed the Sect Master a favor, wouldn’t she just give him a Postnatal numinous treasure?
Fairy Yun Xiao had specially gone to Golden Ao Island to ask him, the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace, and the “Little Translucent” disciple of Jie School, about the Sea God’s preferences, temperaments, and treasures that the Sea God liked...
How could the dragon not have any imaginations since she valued him so much?
However, the question that Aunt-Master Yun Xiao had thrown was indeed difficult for Ao Yi.
He really did not know what the Sect Master liked and was troubled by that question for a long time.
Beauty?
The Sect Master does not get involved with women. Besides, he has a little junior sister who’s his childhood sweetheart.
If the Sect Master liked beautiful women, how could there be no female dragons and sea maidens around him now?
There were many useless members of the dragon race. They could do anything they wanted. They were the most lustful. They had accumulated a lot of “capital” in that aspect.
Merit?
Sect Master does not lack any. The Sect Master is a merit agent for the Great Daoist Master of Ren School. The amount of incense offerings he receives from the South Ocean Sea God Sect is definitely much more what I do as the Second Sect Master.
Treasure?
That’s a joke.
Does Ren School lack treasures?
If he were to give those treasures and Postnatal numinous treasures that even the dragon race looked down on, to his Brother Sect Master who was valued even by the Great Daoist Master, wouldn’t he be asking to be humiliated?
Therefore, Ao Yi pondered carefully and answered what he was thinking.
Apart from the content that was bound by the Dao oath, he could not expose that his Brother Sect Master was Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. He did not hide anything else. It was all his sincere words...
He said, “Aunt-Master, my Sect Master is elegant, easy-going, wise and resourceful. I don’t know what my Sect Master likes. My Sect Leader is an upright and righteous person. He is good at military techniques and plotting schemes. He has done many great favors to the dragon race. Actually, you’re not the only one who wants to know about my Sect Master’s preferences. I’ve asked my father before. My mother wanted to give him all sorts of treasures and maidservants’ Cave Abodes, but she was stopped by me. The Sect Master of the Sea God Sect is an elegant person. How can he use such a filthy thing?”
Ao Yi saw... the Great Black Clouds Immortal smiling and nodding upon hearing his reply.
His Aunt-Master, Fairy Yun Xiao, also smiled, as if she was very satisfied with his answer.
His master asked again, “What mystical abilities and commonly used Dharma treasures do your elder brother have?”
Ao Yi pondered for a moment and replied, “The Sect Master hasn’t been cultivating for long. However, he is already regarded highly by the expert of Ren School, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, at such a young age. He is entrusted with an important task. He is good at array formations and had once used array formations to trap... experts whose cultivation levels were many times higher than him. He is extremely talented in this Dao. He is good at escaping and had even instructed his disciples to improve their Water Escape and Void Escape techniques. His insights are so profound that even the experts of the dragon race cannot match up to him! Other than that, my Sect Master is good at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. His painting skills are amazing!”
After hearing what he said, his master smiled and said that he had exaggerated and was boasting about his Sect Master.
Why does he think I’m bragging?
I had clearly seen it with my own eyes!
Of course, Ao Yi could not refute his master. He did not dare to argue with his master and could only say, “In my opinion, my Sect Master should be the most talented and poetic... man in the human race.”
Then, he was thrown out of the Cave Abode by his master...
Was I exaggerating?
I was clearly speaking the truth!
Although his dragon race was proud and conceited, they seldom boasted, especially when his elder brother was a human. Come to think of it, I didn’t expose any information, did I?
After pondering for a while, Ao Yi recalled something and could not help but mutter to himself...
In another half a month, he would bring Sisi to the Immortal Du Sect to play with the Sect Master. If he knew the Sect Master’s preferences and prepared a gift from the dragon race for him, wouldn’t that be a wonderful thing?
What does the Sect Master like?
“But I can’t ask directly.”
Ao Yi pondered for a while and he bore that matter in mind. He rushed out of Golden Ao Island and met up with a few experts of the dragon race before rushing back to the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
It was really difficult to give his Brother Sect Master some gifts.
“Ah, why are you still so poor after cheating hundreds of treasures from the dragon race?”
Half a month later, in the secret underground chamber of Little Qiong Peak,
Li Changshou looked at the few figures who were busy repairing the spiritual beast enclosure and calculated the amount of materials needed for the next step of the plan for Little Qiong Peak. He sighed softly.
The gap was too big. It was too hard to make up for it.
Li Changshou did not want to lower his requirements for the Little Qiong Peak’s array formation because of his poverty.
The array foundation that was buried now was also meant for building a foundation for the future. He could not be careless.
It was similar to cultivation. One could not be short-sighted. One had to plan ahead for the long run.
He was in a hurry to succeed in his cultivation. Just like Youqin Xuanya, who had transcended the Heavenly Tribulation, he would have died long ago without the birdcage.
In addition... a few days ago, Li Changshou had already started requesting Ling’e to suppress the Dao Realm and slow down the speed of her breakthrough.
Li Changshou had been urging Ling’e to make a breakthrough. Since the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean was not stable, Li Changshou was worried that he might be chased by the Western Sect. That way, he would have to leave the Immortal Du Sect.
Therefore, Li Changshou wanted Ling’e to be valued by the Immortal Du Sect in advance and take good care of herself and her master.
Although there were still hidden dangers in that aspect, it was relatively stable. There was no need for Ling’e to be too anxious to break through.
It was the most important thing to let Lingle secure her foundation and develop her potential to the maximum...
If there were no nine-petaled lotus phenomena before Ling’e transcended the tribulation, Li Changshou would personally take action to suppress her realm.
Li Changshou had personally created his junior sister’s Great Dao. He knew how to help her.
Apart from that, Li Changshou had also completed the “Tribulation Transcendence Gift Bag” that he had prepared for Ling’e.
There were three sets of life-saving items for the Tribulation Transcendence—the birdcage, the Immortal-Melting Pill, and the Soul-Locking Pill.
There was a rule for advancing through the Tribulation Transcendence. One had to show that he or she was a disciple of the Dao Sect, and thank the Heavenly Dao for taking time out of his busy schedule to strike. One would also have to thank the Heavenly Dao for giving them the Heavenly Punishment and maintaining the stability of the world.
Apart from that, there were also twelve types of pills, defensive Dharma treasures that were specially used for the Tribulation Transcendence, lightning-repelling techniques that could be cultivated before the Tribulation Transcendence, two guardian essence souls he had just obtained, Dharma treasures that could resist the Tribulation Transcendence, miniature array formations she had to use after the Tribulation Transcendence, as well as pills that would increase comprehension...
And so on.
Ling’e was already a little worried about the Immortal Ascension Tribulation...
However, she did not know that her senior brother had stabilized her chances of transcending the tribulation to 95%.
Three out of the remaining five percent would depend on whether she worked hard to cultivate.
The last two percent would be up to the Heavenly Dao’s random strikes, as usual.
Unfortunately, his master had injured his Dao base. There was no point in making any preparations. At that time, he could only use the Immortal-Melting Pill to save his master’s life.
His enemies had already been killed, and his enemies’ Dao companions had remarried. His enemies’ disciples had also taken him as their master. Moreover, under the supervision of his immortal senses, the Immortal Downpour Peak did not target the Little Qiong Peak. There was no need to mention anything about his master’s past...
He could only wait for his Grandmaster to find his uncle-master and resolve the regret in his heart.
Next...
Li Changshou thought that when his master’s lifespan was exhausted, he should be able to gain a stable footing in the Heavenly Courts. Then, he would establish connections in the netherworld and arrange for his master to reincarnate and cultivate again.
That’s right. Li Changshou had almost arranged everything in Qi Yuan’s next life, not just the current...
Of course, he still respected his master’s opinion. He only gave his master more options.
Li Changshou sighed and continued to worry about the huge deficiency in the materials.
If he was poor, he could still live.
Once the safety factor increased, his happiness index would definitely soar!
After spending some time, Li Changshou made a generous plan for the next twenty years. He allocated the time for his epiphany, enlightenment, cultivation, alchemy, and refinement.
After doing that, Li Changshou took out one of the two mystical abilities that the Great Daoist Master had given him-Scattering Beans That Turn Into Soldiers.
Li Changshou carefully observed the jade slip. Below the jade slip was a line of characters.
“The Dao Repository of the Carefree Immortal Sect.”
It should be because those mystical abilities were too low-grade. The Great Daoist Master had never cultivated it before, so he could not be bothered to create another one. He directly went to find a ready-made one and threw it at him.
Li Changshou smiled and pushed the jade slip ten feet away with immortal power.
As it was given to him by the Great Daoist Master, Elder Moon took it out from his dream. Li Changshou did not push it out by 100 feet this time. He only gave himself the lowest-grade triple-layer protection and slowly opened the jade slip...
Steadiness was an attitude of cultivation.
Soon, Li Changshou confirmed that there were no traps in the jade slip. Then, he put it in front of him and read it carefully.
The method of forming soldiers with beans was similar to the method of Man-Forming Paper Cutouts. It looked like he could just casually throw a bean out and turn it into an army of soldiers.
In fact, the beans were already considered a Dharma artifact. They could only be produced with complicated processes.
It was even more complicated than Man-Forming Paper Cutouts.
Li Changshou carefully thought about the value of the demonic modification of that mystical ability, as well as the space he could use to operate it. Unknowingly, he fell into deep thought.
Outside the secret chamber, the sun set, and the moon rose.
In the dead of the night, Li Changshou had just gained some inspiration from some demonic changes when a figure flew over from the Heaven-Breaking Peak. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. She then entered the isolation array outside the Little Qiong Peak.
Why is Toxic Junior Sister here at this hour?
Li Changshou put down the jade slip and activated the paper effigy who pretended to be meditating in the Pill Chamber. He stood up and went to the Pill Chamber to temporarily close the outer array formation.
Youqin Xuanya quickly noticed Li Changshou. She pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Just as Li Changshou was about to open his mouth to make some small talk, a ripple suddenly rose in his heart. He frowned and pinched his fingers to calculate. A wisp of his attention landed on the statue of the Sea God Sect’s main god in Anshui City.
He immediately saw a woman covered in thin fog standing in the brightly lit main hall of the temple. She looked around with interest as she observed the surrounding murals...
This aura, the Dao runes...
Uh, why did this big shot suddenly come to the Sea God Sect?
Li Changshou was shocked. He quickly sent a voice transmission to Youqin Xuanya and asked her to wait in the Pill Chamber. He was fully focused on dealing with the expert who had suddenly arrived...
