"Aren't Dao companions supposed to be cultivation partners? Since when are Dao companions the same as husband and wife?
Can't I focus on the Great Dao?
Can't I cultivate in peace?! Can't I!?! "
In the Pill Chamber of Xiao Qiong Mount, Jiuwu's face was slightly red. He sat there and kept slamming the table, letting out suppressed growls.
At the banquet in the Pill Chamber, Jiuwu sat in the main seat. Beside him were Jiuwu's Sixth Junior Sister, Jiulu 'er, and Seventh Junior Brother, Jiuji.
Jiujiu was naturally there as well. However, at that moment, she was sitting at the side with Li Changshou and Ling 'e. She looked more like the host entertaining the guests.
Jiu Lu 'er looked like a graceful and intelligent fairy, but she also exuded a delicate and gentle aura.
She seemed to love the color green. She was dressed in a light green, soft, fragrant dress, and a grass-green jacket. Her red hairpin was carved from clear jade.
Jiulu 'er was of medium height, and her figure was between slender and exquisite. She was somewhat similar to Jiujiu, but she was not as good as Jiujiu.
She had a slightly round face, willowy eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, thin lips, and a slender and fair neck …
At first glance, she gave off a very gentle feeling. When she spoke, she also spoke in a gentle and soft voice. She was neither fast nor slow, as if speaking loudly to her would make others feel a little rude and offended.
Then, he looked at Jiuji, who was beside him …
The two of them were naturally worried about their fifth senior brother, so they followed him to the banquet.
After Jiuwu drank two cups of wine, Jiulu 'er asked softly, "Fifth Senior Brother, what's wrong with you and Fourth Senior Sister?"
Hence, Jiuwu started talking and slammed the table to complain.
Jiulu 'er and Jiuji frowned and remained silent.
The culprit, Li Changshou, kept comforting him. He pinched Jiuwu's nose and fed him chicken soup.
Only Ling'e and Jiujiu, who had no idea what was going on, were left looking at each other …
Ling'e knew some things about men and women, but not much.
Jiujiu, on the other hand, had been influenced by what she had seen and heard since she was young. After cultivating for more than a thousand years, she also knew about these things. However, because she did not have much experience, she did not know what was wrong with Fifth Senior Brother. He was suddenly full of complaints …
At the beginning of the banquet, Jiuwu was constantly complaining.
Fortunately, Li Changshou suggested that Jiuwu go out for a walk to relax, so the four of them could eat, drink, and have fun. That way, they didn't waste a table full of good dishes.
As he strolled around the spirit beast enclosure, Li Changshou pondered how he could salvage the situation.
Seeing that Jiuwu had calmed down, Li Changshou asked in a low voice,
"Jiu Wu, there's no one else here.
I treat you as my Martial Uncle and also as a close friend. What is going on?
Haven't you and Uncle-Master Jiushi always been in love with each other? "
"Ah!"
Jiuwu sighed and turned his head without saying a word.
Li Changshou asked again, "Jiu Wu, do you have any … difficulties?"
"Ah!"
Jiu Wu sighed again. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said in a low voice, "Uncle-Master, there's something I don't know if I should say."
Jiu Wu said, "Go ahead. I'm listening."
"Uncle-Master, sometimes, you're not too confident in this aspect," Li Changshou said. "Actually, Uncle-Master, you're already very good. If you're like this, I'll definitely stay away from Dao companions in the future."
"I …"
Jiuwu paused and smiled bitterly. He patted his thigh.
"Alright, I'll tell you the truth!
I don't know why, but … I just don't want to get close to women … "
Li Changshou took half a step back when he heard that.
Jiuwu was so angry that he laughed. He scolded, "Don't think too much! I'm not Daoist Gu Yang! "
"Yes, yes." Li Changshou was naturally joking. He also knew what the root of Jiuwu's illness was.
After pondering for a while, Li Changshou said, "Uncle-Master, I heard Master talk about the details of you guys exterminating demons. Have you seen the … painting of aged beauties that I drew?"
"Yes, I've seen it." Jiuwu frowned and said, "That painting of yours is just a painting. How can it affect me?
I'm a Perfected Immortal after all. My mental state is rather stable. "
"Of course not. However, at that time, you seemed to have been struck by the Fox Demon's Enchantment Spell. At that time, you were completely defenseless …"
Li Changshou reminded Jiuwu. He thought for a while and immediately came to a realization.
"Is that really the case?"
"It should be." Li Changshou sighed. "This matter stems from the painting I made. Although it's a side effect of the Enchantment Spell, I'm also responsible.
Uncle-Master, if you trust me, let me try and see if I can salvage the situation. "
Jiuwu frowned. "How do you want to salvage the situation?"
Li Changshou smiled calmly. He was naturally confident.
After a while, Jiuwu was in high spirits. His eyes were filled with hope as he returned to the banquet in the Pill Chamber.
He seemed to have changed into a completely different person. He kept inviting the few of them to drink and eat. The atmosphere quickly became lively …
His three junior brothers and sisters naturally did not know what was going on and were all confused.
Li Changshou did not return with Jiuwu. Instead, two hours later, he rubbed his eyebrows and returned to the Pill Chamber. He solemnly stuffed a treasure pouch into Jiuwu's hand.
Jiuwu asked in a low voice, "How many are there?"
"Thirty-six volumes, corresponding to the number of Heavenly Stars."
"Very good! Thank you, Disciple-Nephew! "Jiuwu smiled.
Seeing that Jiujiu was staring at the treasure pouch in his hand with a burning gaze, the short Daoist scolded jokingly, "Don't look at it too much. This is not for a child like you!"
Then, Jiuwu put away the treasure pouch solemnly and gave Li Changshou a thumbs-up.
"Disciple-Nephew, you're the most reliable!"
"It's a small matter. Uncle-Master, don't forget our previous agreement."
"Of course. Come! I'll toast you! If this matter succeeds, I will definitely thank you handsomely! "
"Uncle-Master, you don't have to be so polite. Just remember not to tell anyone."
The two of them chatted with each other and managed to whet the appetite of the people around them. However, no matter how the four of them tried to probe, the two of them smiled and did not say anything.
Soon, Jiuwu left his junior brothers and sisters behind and left on a cloud.
Jiulu 'er and Jiuji also bade farewell and left.
After they left, Jiujiu stared at Li Changshou and kept asking questions. Li Changshou had no choice but to explain to Jiuwu.
"There's something wrong with Jiu Wu's body. His Yang energy is a little lacking.
Therefore, I gave him some pills and made some paintings that were pleasing to the eye. "
"That's it?"
"Yes, that's it."
However, just as Li Changshou finished speaking, Ling 'e, who was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, suddenly thought of something. Her hand shook, and the jade plate almost shattered.
Li Changshou turned to look at her. Ling 'e immediately lowered her head and held back her laughter. Her actions became more agile.
She recalled the rapid reproduction of the Jade Frog …
…
Heaven-Breaking Peak, the residence of the Nine Jiu Immortals.
Jiuwu hurriedly flew back and entered his pavilion. He took out two treasure pouches.
He took out a few bottles of pills from one treasure pouch and a stack of exquisite paintings from the other treasure pouch.
Li Changshou's instructions surfaced in the short Daoist's heart.
Uncle-Master, remember to take a look at the scroll first to cancel out the images in your heart.
Let's try to take another Ambition Pill to see if it has any effect.
However, remember, you can't eat too many of these pills. One pill can refresh your mind. Two pills will make you never feel tired. Three pills will make you prone to accidents.
Jiuwu took a deep breath and whispered,
"Disciple-Nephew Changshou, Uncle-Master's future is in your hands!"
After saying that, he slowly opened the scroll marked 'One' with a rather solemn mood. He slowly unfurled the scroll. First, he saw two lines of poetry.
'When will the spring flowers and autumn moon end? How many lingering dreams are there?'
Then, the scroll slowly unfurled. An indescribable scroll was outlined with meticulous ink …
Jiu Wu gradually felt that something was amiss. He continued to read on, and a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
An hour later, he opened all the scrolls and consumed another pill. He sat there quietly and fell into a daze.
This time, in just a moment, Jiuwu stood up.
His Adam's apple trembled, his heart trembled, and his eyes turned red …
This is!
This is a feeling that I haven't felt for more than ten years!
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm fine! "
The short Daoist hurriedly put away the pills and carried the paintings. He hurriedly left the pavilion and rushed towards his Dao companion's pavilion.
Half a month later.
Jiuwu and Jiushi held hands and went to Xiao Qiong Mount together to thank Li Changshou. They said that Li Changshou had miraculous hands and was a benevolent doctor … and so on.
After that, Ling'e laughed uncontrollably.
As the Inner Competition in the sect was approaching, Jiuwu took an immortal treasure and two superior-quality Dharma treasures as a thank you gift.
Li Changshou did not decline. He knew that Jiu Wu had been an executive for many years and had a rich family background. Hence, he accepted all three treasures and gave Jiu Wu three jars of Poisonous Dragon Wine.
He consolidated the effects and replenished his Primordial Energy. From the looks of it, Jiu Wu was clearly at a disadvantage compared to half a month ago.
Li Changshou thought that the karma would end there …
The immortal treasure was a short sword. Li Changshou had given it to Ling'e for self-defense.
Li Changshou kept the two superior-quality Dharma treasures for himself. He wanted to use them to study when he studied the refinement restrictions later.
Li Changshou had set a goal for Ling'e in the sect Competition this time.
Even if Ling'e took the initiative to expose her true cultivation level, she had to work hard to fight for the top 108 places!
That way, Ling'e would be able to receive more attention from the sect.
Now that Li Changshou was the trump card of Xiao Qiong Mount, it did not matter whether his junior sister hid it or not.
He only needed Ling'e to pay attention to the rules when she was outside and not cause any new trouble.
As for Li Changshou himself, he did not have any expectations for the Sect Competition. He would be stable if he could get into the top 36 places. There was no point in fighting anymore.
Days passed. The little spirit trees planted in the back mountain had already grown well, and there was an endless supply of paper effigies.
The old trees that had worked hard were also … cut down by Li Changshou.
They were chopped as firewood.
After all, they knew too many things. It would be too cruel to kill them after they became spirits in the future.
They were still trees now, so it was fine if they were cut down. There was no pain and they died peacefully.
Little Aunt-Master had also been much more obedient in the past few months, as if he was afraid of disturbing Li Changshou and Ling'e's cultivation.
This pair of senior and junior brothers were perhaps the two young disciples with the most stable mental states before the competition in the sect.
When the two of them were free, they would discuss how to help their master get out of the haze.
Li Changshou also agreed to Little Ling'e's suggestion to find a Dao companion for their master.
However, Li Changshou also said that he had to let nature take its course. He could not be anxious.
Just like that, another few months passed quickly. The various peaks of the Duxian Gate were filled with streams of light every day, and figures were chasing after each other. They were busy preparing for the Competition.
That atmosphere was like a festival in the mortal world.
Li Changshou also began to teach Ling'e how to defend against the enemy. He shared some simple tricks with his junior sister so that she could advance more easily.
Among the disciples, Ling'e was the latest to enter the sect, but her cultivation level was not the lowest.
There was still half a month before the Competition. The venue had already begun to be set up at the foot of the Heaven-Breaking Peak. Most of the elders who had been in seclusion all year round had also woken up and were prepared to watch the grand event that happened once every 200 years at the Duxian Gate …
That was not all. The Duxian Gate had also sent out invitations to a few sects that were on good terms with the East Continent, as well as a few sects from Ren School.
The aura of the Sect Leader of the Gold God realm would occasionally appear once or twice.
Li Changshou was also a little worried. He wondered if the Sect Leader was still vomiting blood …
Originally, Li Changshou thought that nothing would happen before the Competition.
Xianlin Mount seemed to have temporarily forgotten about the Perfected Immortal, Kuai Si. The surroundings of the Duxian Gate had also calmed down. No one was plotting against him.
On the Sea God Sect's side, the ferocious development momentum had finally stabilized. The Dragons had also restrained themselves. They did not fight head-on with the other factions. They only guarded the merit that they could obtain.
Li Changshou had already accumulated quite a lot of merit from incense offerings. He could almost condense the Golden Body of Merit … a little fingernail …
However, what Li Changshou did not expect was that Jiu Wu arrived at Xiao Qiong Mount on a cloud with a pile of gifts.
When the short Daoist saw Li Changshou, he revealed a meaningful smile.
"Changshou, do you still have any more Ambition Pills?"
Li Changshou frowned and said, "Uncle-Master, you shouldn't be able to use up all those pills …"
"Indeed." Jiuwu's expression was a little awkward. He set up a soundproof barrier. "I don't know how Master found out about me and Shi Shi.
Master asked me about the cause and effect, so I explained it briefly.
I didn't say anything about you. I still remember the oath.
However, when Master asked me, two elders happened to be there. Then, one of the elders secretly looked for me …
Changshou, you also know that if you cultivate for too long, your mentality will become indifferent. The elders also have Dao companions. Naturally, they are worried about this. I can't reject them, so I took out the Ambition Pills …
Guess what?
Hey! It's really useful! "
Li Changshou could not help but support his forehead with one hand. He could not recover for a while.
He was in Ren School to cultivate peacefully and find a backer to protect himself so that he could successfully pluck the Longevity Fruit!
He was not here to open a medicinal hall and sell Ambition Pills. He was not here to cooperate with an unreliable Great Daoist Master to mess around in the sect!
Jiuwu smiled and said, "Changshou, can you still refine Ambition Pills?
What materials do you need? I'll bring them to you immediately! "
"No more." Li Changshou shook his head decisively. "This kind of thing is very difficult to refine. There will definitely be no more."
Uncle-Master Jiu Wu looked regretful.
"Really? Then I'll go back and tell the elders.
Ah, they had prepared a lot of gifts to thank you. The Elder even promised to reward you with the second volume of the Inaction Sutra when you become an immortal … "
Li Changshou smiled. Was he such a person who would be moved by external things?
Yes.
Li Changshou took out six porcelain bottles from his sleeve. "Give some to the elders. I really don't have any more."
After all, he still had to leave some for the spiritual beasts in his spiritual beast enclosure …
