As the Immortal Sect's Disciple Competition approached, Li Changshou sat on the Xiao Qiong Mount. He could clearly sense that there was an undercurrent surging in the sect.
"Elder Ge, do you have any extra Ambition Pills?"
"Sigh, Xiaowu only gave me three. After using them, they're really not bad. It's as if I've found that throbbing feeling from back then …"
"This item is really not bad. We've tried many spirit pills and miraculous herbs previously. This is the only thing that made our withered Dao hearts ripple again."
"Not bad, not bad. There's a herb inside that is extremely rare. I pondered about it for a long time, but I still can't figure it out."
"I have to say that the disciple who refined this pill is a talent …"
"We have to keep such a disciple in the sect and focus on nurturing him …"
That was the conversation between two Heaven Immortal realm elders on the cloud. Li Changshou's Wind Speech Incantation had coincidentally captured it.
The herb that he could not figure out should be the relatively "unorthodox" Love Stone …
Originally, Li Changshou only needed to give away the pill formula, and that matter would not have much to do with him.
However, the Ambition Pill was not only used to arouse the passion of the old Qi Refinement cultivators for life. If someone used it to do evil things, he would also have to bear some karma.
That pill was different from the Poisonous Dragon Wine.
The Poisonous Dragon Wine allowed the Dao Body to replenish its Primordial Energy and Yang Qi. It used the Dao Body's reaction to affect one's own behavior.
However, the Ambition Pill directly affected one's mental state.
Now, through Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, he could control the direction of the pills. That was the most important thing.
The refining technique of that pill was not considered complicated, and the refining threshold was not high. The difficult part was the "Love Stone".
That way, it would not arouse any suspicions about Li Changshou's cultivation level.
At most, he would sigh with emotion that this disciple was smart enough to have blossomed in array formations and alchemy …
Originally, there was still half a month before the Immortal Sect Competition. Li Changshou, the young disciple, should be preparing for the battle with his fellow disciples later.
Although it was useless, it was reasonable.
But now …
"Competition? What Competition?
Would you benefit more from the Inner Sect Competition, or would you benefit more from refining the Ambition Pill?
Changshou, you are not selling elixirs, you are making outstanding contributions to the harmony and stability of our Duxian Gate!
Love Gu, right?
This Martial Uncle will get you a hundred and eighty pairs. Just wait and see! "
After saying that, Jiu Wu rushed out of the immortal sect and rushed to the town square to search for the Love Gu.
Li Changshou also reminded him that the Ambition Pill was a secret of the Xiao Qiong Mount, and that the Love Voodoo and the Love Stone must not be leaked. Naturally, Jiuwu agreed.
With the restriction of the Great Dao oath, Jiuwu would not joke around with the rest of his long life.
Jiuwu went out for six days and managed to get three pairs of love Gu, he secretly gave them to Li Changshou.
Li Changshou did not hesitate.
In front of Jiuwu, Li Changshou fed the Love Gu to the Spirit-Consolidating Poisonous Grass and turned it into a Love Stone. He concocted the secret medicinal liquid that was necessary to refine the Ambition Pill and sealed it in the Pill Chamber …
However, the next batch of Ambition Pills would take at least forty-nine days to be refined.
Since he already had a new Love Stone, Li Changshou took out two-thirds of his remaining stock.
He had to keep some for himself in case of emergencies.
"Uncle-Master, I have an idea."
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said slowly,
"Please take care of the Ambition Pill in the future, Uncle-Master.
You have to record the whereabouts of every pill. Even if the elders take it and give it as a gift, you have to ask where it went.
This thing can be used to stimulate the Dao heart, but it can also be used for evil. It's better to be careful.
I can't let Uncle-Master work for nothing. Uncle-Master, how about we split the benefits that we obtained from the elders 50-50? "
Jiuwu smiled and said, "You're so careful. I don't know what you're afraid of! Don't split it 50-50. That's too unfair to you. "
Li Changshou said seriously, "I'm providing the Ambition Pill.
Uncle-Master, you have to give it to the elders. These two processes are equally important.
The cost of this item is the few pairs of Love Gu. Uncle-Master, you have to provide the precious materials to refine the pills.
Just as Uncle-Master said before, we aren't selling pills, we're doing a favor. The Elders' rewards are varied, but it's reasonable for us to split fifty percent of the rewards between us.
Uncle-Master, don't stand on ceremony with me. "
"This …"
Jiuwu pondered for a while. When he saw Li Changshou's sincere eyes, he nodded and agreed.
Li Changshou reminded Jiuwu not to mention anything about him when he "presented the pills". He also gave Jiuwu a copy of the pill formula.
Although Jiu Wu felt a little uncomfortable being taken care of by his disciple-nephew, he did not feel too comfortable.
However …
The "General Distributor of the Duxian Gate" of the Ambition Pill was also very touched.
Hence, another batch of Ambition Pills was "distributed" by Jiuwu and flowed into the hands of the elders who had Dao companions.
That led to a slightly abnormal phenomenon.
A few days later, the Inner Sect Competition began. Most of the Heaven Immortal Elders and Perfected Immortal Elders gathered on the clouds in the sky.
There should have been dozens or even hundreds of white-haired, youthful, and sage-like elders.
However, what appeared now was a group of young and middle-aged male immortals, as well as some beautiful, delicate, and charming female immortals …
While the disciples' horizons were broadened, the Sect Leader of the Duxian Gate, who appeared later, almost thought that he had gone to the wrong sect.
…
Half a day before the Competition officially began …
Qiyuan Laodao finally walked out of his straw hut. He looked at his two beloved disciples who were about to "go to war", and his eyes were filled with emotions.
He had watched his two disciples grow up slowly. He was about to send them to the Heaven-Breaking Peak to take the exam. Qi Yuan's heart stirred.
However, when Qi Yuan took a closer look, he realized that something was amiss.
His eldest disciple, Li Changshou, was naturally the same as usual. He was dressed in an ordinary long robe, and his temperament was not outstanding. People would subconsciously ignore him at a glance.
His youngest disciple, Ling'e, was quite different today.
She was dressed in a warm yellow dress. The style of the dress was ordinary, but the workmanship was exquisite. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item. The main point was that there was a little immortal light flowing on it. It seemed to be an immortal treasure.
It was not just the long dress. There was also the red hairpin on Ling'e's head, the bracelet on her jade-like arm, the short sword in her hand, and even the two unique earrings on her earlobes. They were all immortal treasures that contained immortal light …
In order to let his junior sister have a good ranking, Li Changshou had equipped her with immortal treasures.
Moreover, those immortal treasures were all brought by Jiu Wu and bestowed by the elders in the sect.
Although it was not appropriate to make this matter public, the elders would not be surprised as to why there were so many treasures on the Xiao Qiong Mount.
"Changshou." Qi Yuan looked at Li Changshou and said in a low voice, "What did you do that went against your conscience?"
Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry. He handed a treasure pouch to his master with both hands.
"Master, take these treasures to protect yourself.
Don't worry, Master. These treasures were given to you by the elders. "
At that moment, Li Changshou reported the matter of the Ambition Pill to his master. Qiyuan Laodao did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"We are disciples of Ren School. Why is our Dao companion like this … Ah, forget it.
Forget it.
Changshou, you can offer pills, but don't be greedy for the rewards from the elders.
The Duxian Sect has the protection of these elders and the help of the disciples. That's why we can cultivate in peace. "
Li Changshou nodded repeatedly. He naturally had to deal with his master.
However, it was naturally impossible for him to give pills for free.
With the help of the Ambition Pill, Li Changshou's plan to modify the Xiao Qiong Mount could be completed at least a few hundred years ahead of schedule …
The bell of the Heaven-Breaking Peak rang. The two of them bade farewell to their master and rode a cloud towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Along the way, they could see many clouds flying out from the various peaks. Some were high and some were low. All of them rushed to the venue of the Inner Competition.
The venue was at the foot of the Heaven-Breaking Peak. There was a gentle slope and a valley there. At that moment, it had already been set up simply.
The competition system was not complicated. The disciples would draw lots to fight. Every disciple would have twelve rounds of preliminary tests. Based on the number of victories in the twelve rounds of battles, 360 people would enter the next round and obtain the number of Heavenly Cycles.
The process was repeated continuously. 108 people would emerge victorious from the 360 people, 72 people would emerge victorious from the 108 people, and 36 people would emerge victorious from the 72 people …
Due to the large number of disciples, there was no time limit for the Inner Competition. During the day, there would be fights, and at night, there would be an elder giving a lecture.
From the looks of it, it was indeed a grand event that happened once every two hundred years in the sect. It was comparable to the opening ceremony.
When Li Changshou and Ling'e arrived, they naturally found an inconspicuous corner and stayed there.
Some of the more high-profile peaks, such as Danding Peak and Xianlin Mount, would also have a flag with the words' Dan 'and' Lin 'written on it. The disciples of their respective peaks would also gather together.
Some were more casual. The disciples would hang out with their close friends and visit each other casually.
The bell rang for nine times.
White clouds rose and fell everywhere, and the mountain slopes and river valleys were already full of people.
The last time so many disciples gathered was when the Duxian Gate suffered a calamity. However, at that time, the disciples were only running for their lives and were in a rather pathetic state.
Today, they were all in high spirits and eager to give it a try. They had the demeanor of a great immortal sect.
Witnessing this scene, Li Changshou also felt poetic. He recited in his heart,
"The entire mountain is filled with handsome boys and beautiful girls.
Look up at the clouds, the elders are not simple. "
When he saw the group of elders who had changed their old appearances, Li Changshou felt a little helpless.
Suddenly, he heard praises around him. Dozens of white clouds flew over from the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
The first person was dressed in a fiery red dress. Her black hair was tied up simply, and her face was as cold as ice. She was as beautiful as Heng 'e, and she carried her iconic sword on her back. She landed in the most eye-catching spot that was reserved for her.
The current chief disciple, Youqin Genya.
Before Youqin Genya landed, she was looking for something in the crowd. After looking around twice, she finally saw the pair of senior and junior brothers and sisters. A smile appeared on her lips as she nodded slightly.
In an instant, gazes gathered on Li Changshou and Ling'e.
When Youqin Genya appeared, Li Changshou had already taken half a step back without a trace. Everyone's eyes were attracted to Ling'e.
However, Ling'e bowed in return. She raised her clean chin slightly and smiled gently. She appeared rather confident …
Then, she heard a voice transmit into her ears.
"Repeat the Steadiness Sutra a hundred times. Remember it."
Ling'e immediately lowered her head and thought to herself, 'Oh no. Why didn't I resist comparing myself to Senior Sister Youqin?'
As the disciples gathered in the valley on the hillside, white clouds floated around them. Most of the immortals of the Duxian Gate were gathered there.
After a while, the bell rang again. A jade platform rose from the Immortal Du Hall, and dozens of figures sat on it.
The Sect Leader was empty … ahem, Daoist Wuyou, the Deputy Sect Leader, Exalted Wang Qing, and a few other Heaven Immortal realm elders accompanied dozens of guests who had arrived a few days earlier. They slowly walked over from the jade platform.
Li Changshou secretly sensed the aura on the jade platform and frowned.
The Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island were here again.
Moreover, there were two "experts" in the Gold God realm who came this time. They emitted a little pressure from the Gold God realm. Perhaps, they were two of the ten Heavenly Lords.
Li Changshou had never seen them before, so he could only guess.
Previously, when the Blood Mosquito puppets attacked the Duxian Gate, there were three Qi Refinement cultivators from Golden Ao Island. After that, Master Xuandu appeared and found out that the three of them had been controlled.
Today, the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island had come to attend the ceremony again. They should be trying to "reconcile" with the Ren School. They seemed to be trying to make amends.
That had nothing to do with his disciple.
However, there were a few young disciples standing behind the seats of the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island. Li Changshou was very familiar with one of them …
At that moment, the young man also noticed Li Changshou.
He whispered a few words into the ear of a Gold God of Jie School before slipping off the jade platform and flying towards Li Changshou and Ling'e.
He was none other than a disciple of Jie School, the Second Prince of Donghai Dragon Palace, the Second Hierarch of the Sea God Sect in the South Sea, and the Great Guardian of the Azure Dragon — Ao Yi!
"Brother Changshou!"
"Oh, Brother Yi, how have you been?"
"Thanks to Brother Changshou, I've been well recently."
The two of them looked at each other and did not say anything.
According to the rules of the Sea God Sect in the South Sea, the true meaning of the simple conversation just now was:
"Greetings, Hierarch!
Second Hierarch, you may dispense with the formalities. Everyone is watching.
Recently, the Sea God Sect has been doing well. Hierarch, you don't have to worry too much. Just focus on your cultivation … "
So on.
Although the two of them were speaking in riddles and did not expose anything, it was not a secret that Ao Yi was on good terms with Li Changshou during his trip to the Duxian Gate.
However, Li Changshou felt a little uncomfortable at that moment.
On the left stood a beautiful junior sister who had recently risen in the ranks of the Fairies in the sect. From time to time, male disciples would look over.
On the right stood a young man with a powerful background. His figure and appearance were rather outstanding. He had a pair of horns and looked slightly cute. Occasionally, female disciples would look over.
Li Changshou, who was stuck in the middle, was rendered speechless.
He had a feeling that the peaceful, comfortable, and low-key daily cultivation life that he had spent in the sect for eighty to ninety years was gone forever.
