It was a sunny day, and the sun was shining brightly.
In the residence of the Nine Jiu Immortals on the Heaven-Breaking Peak …
Jiuwu held his waist and swayed his five-foot-tall Dao Body gently in front of his pavilion. He circulated his immortal power slightly and no longer felt tired.
It was already three days after he and Jiushi returned from the Xiao Qiong Mount. He had just sent his Dao companion into seclusion and was thinking about whether he should cultivate or go to the Hundred Mortal Hall to take a look.
At that moment, a huge gourd descended from the sky.
Jiuwu immediately perked up. He immediately put his hands behind his back and returned to his usual serious look. He cleared his throat and said loudly,
"Little Nine, come to my place."
"Senior Brother? I was just about to look for you. I've brought back what you wanted … Ha … "
Jiujiu, who was on the huge gourd, popped her head out and could not help but cover her mouth and yawn. She was also dispirited and listless.
The huge gourd turned and landed in front of Jiuwu's pavilion.
The nine of them had outstanding aptitudes and were top-notch cultivators among their peers. Apart from Jiujiu, they each had their own "side jobs".
Jiushi was good at refining treasures, while Jiuwu was good at brewing wine and refining pills. Therefore, the bottom floor of Jiuwu's small building was filled with wine jars, precious materials, and pill furnaces.
Clearly, Jiujiu had learned her habit of not tidying up from there. However, she had developed it.
Jiujiu yawned and acted as if she had returned to her own house. She sat at a round table and threw the small cage in her hand to Jiuwu.
"Senior Brother, this is the small spider you want. Don't let it die this time …
Aren't you embarrassed to ask me for things from a junior all day long?! "
"It's rare that you haven't forgotten about this." Jiuwu opened the black cloth covering the wooden cage and took a look. He immediately beamed.
Inside, there was a pair of separated spiders. Their heads were like meat buns, with three heads and multiple pupils.
Jiujiu yawned tiredly. "Senior Brother, if there's nothing else, I'll go back."
"Wait a minute, I'm looking for a few things." Jiuwu jogged all the way, hung the spider in the shade, then turned around and ran to a bookshelf.
Jiujiu's face was full of despair as she laid her head on the table. "Senior Brother, what do you want to do? I'm so tired right now. I want to go back to drink something and sleep for a few days."
Tired?
Jiuwu, who was standing beside a bookshelf, turned his head and carefully looked at Jiujiu. He remembered that he couldn't directly see through his junior sister's cultivation, let alone her physical condition.
But when he thought of the situation in the small pill room, Jiuwu sighed in his heart, feeling the sorrow of an old father.
Forget it, a grown girl can't be kept at home.
Under the prevailing trend of Dao companions in the sect, his little junior sister would never be able to escape this trend …
Where did this trend come from?
This had to be explained from the older generation of Heaven Immortals. There were more than ten elders in the Duxian Sect, and there were a total of four pairs of loving Dao companions. There was really no one who could follow suit.
Jiujiu sighed helplessly as she lay there. She recalled her experience of accompanying a certain Disciple-Nephew to refine poisonous pills in the past few days …
Although it was very interesting and novel, and a certain Disciple-Nephew had given her enough benefits. He had even given her many poisonous pills that could poison Perfected Immortals.
However, she had to be tense and could not relax. To her, it was indeed quite taxing.
She had never been so tired before. Jiujiu said faintly,
"He's clearly just a little fellow in the Void Return Realm, but he tortured me for so long. I'm so tired."
Crack!
The jade token in Jiuwu's hand accidentally slipped to the ground. The short Daoist raised his head and sighed. His eyes were slightly moist.
Little Jiu had really grown up …
Her Fifth Senior Brother, who was half a father to her, was finally going to let her enjoy a beautiful cultivation life.
After taking the jade token back into his hand, Jiuwu looked at the words written on it.
"General Principles of Array Formations – Wang Qing Sanren"
Jiu Wu casually took out two jade slips from the corner of the bookshelf. Then, he turned and walked towards Jiu Jiu.
"Little Jiu, help me bring these things to Disciple-Nephew Changshou." Jiuwu sent the jade token to his junior sister with his immortal power and said warmly, "This is the outline of array formations written by Master, as well as some of the insights your Third Senior Sister and I have gained after studying array formations for so many years."
"Huh?" Jiujiu took the jade token and threw it into her storage Dharma treasure. She asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, why are you suddenly so concerned about Little Shoushou?"
Little … Little Shoushou …
Isn't that how I address him when I'm deeply in love with Little Shishi?
Jiuwu raised his head and took a deep breath. He revealed a kind smile and said warmly, "After we met in the North Continent the last time, I felt that Disciple-Nephew Changshou is a rather steady junior.
Oh right, your Fourth Senior Sister has refined a few new clothes for you. "
Jiuwu took out a treasure pouch and handed it to Jiujiu.
"There are also some rouge, face powder, and jewelry used by women in this pouch.
If you like it, you can ask your Senior Sister to refine it for you … "
"Clothes? What clothes? "
Jiujiu took the treasure pouch and casually refined it. She pulled out a thin gauze dress and frowned.
"Senior Brother … When did I wear something like this …"
"Ahem, don't blame me for talking too much. Junior Sister, although you are naturally beautiful, you still have to dress up.
By the way, did you and Disciple-Nephew Changshou start … in the past two years? "
"In the past two years? Start? "
Jiujiu glanced at Jiuwu and suddenly frowned. She stuffed the gauze dress back into the treasure pouch and asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Don't tell me you guys think that I'm together with Little Shoushou?"
Jiuwu was stunned. "You're not together?"
"Tsk." Jiujiu immediately looked disdainful. "What kind of person do you think your Junior Sister is? Am I the kind of person who would lay a hand on a junior?! I can't do something like an old cow eating young grass! "
Jiuwu glared at her. "Then why have you been going to Xiao Qiong Mount for the past two years?"
"To help set up the array formation." Jiujiu spread her hands. "I was punished to abstain from alcohol for three years. Disciple-Nephew has some good things that can replace alcohol.
In return, I helped him set up the array formation. "
Jiuwu's eyes widened. "Junior Sister, did you set up the array formation at Xiao Qiong Mount?"
"That's right. I did it myself!"
Jiujiu raised her eyebrows proudly, but she quickly told him the truth. "Senior Brother, you know that I'm not interested in array formations.
It was Changshou who told me where to put the things. Then, when the array formation was about to take shape, I was responsible for suppressing the surging Spirit Qi.
However, there was no need to set up the array formation during this period. I couldn't take his things for free, so I helped him refine some pills in the past few days …
Senior Brother?
What's wrong with you, Fifth Senior Brother? Why do you look so strange? "
"I see!"
Jiuwu suddenly understood. He got up and paced back and forth. "So that chain array formation wasn't set up by someone who has yet to become an immortal. No wonder it's a relatively simple maze array and trapping array!
Using my own plan and your help, I was able to come up with such an idea. Wonderful, wonderful!
Although this Li Changshou's aptitude isn't top-notch, he is considered above average for reaching the Void Return Realm after a hundred years of cultivation. If he is nurtured well, it won't be a problem for him to become an immortal. He's a promising talent. "
Beside him, Jiujiu yawned and stood up silently. She lowered her head, bowed, and floated toward the door with her arms hanging down.
"Senior Brother, I'm going back to rest. Refining pills is so tiring."
"Hey, Little Jiu, the three jade tokens I gave you just now!" Jiuwu hurriedly said, "Return them to me. They are considered treasures of our lineage. We can't just pass them on to others."
"Why are you being so stingy?" Jiujiu rolled her eyes and casually threw two porcelain bottles back. "Just take it that I'm in charge. I'll use the poisonous pills refined by Xiao Shoushou in exchange for some of your cultivation insights. That should be fine, right?
This is a poisonous pill that can kill a Perfected Immortal! It's also because of our hard work. "
"Those are not ordinary insights … Poisonous pills?"
Jiuwu caught the porcelain bottle and looked at it with a frown.
Jiujiu had already taken the opportunity to float out of Jiuwu's building. She returned to her own building and activated the array outside …
Jiuwu could not help but laugh. It was fine if Ninth Junior Sister wanted to give it to him. After all, Li Changshou was also a disciple of the sect.
He wrapped several strands of immortal power around him and placed the porcelain bottles a few dozen feet away. He opened the porcelain bottles in the air and looked inside. He found that there were three vermilion pills in each of the two porcelain bottles, exuding a faint fragrance.
"It's actually the Rotting Bone and Heart Eroding Pill and the Soul Reaping Pill?
The quality is not bad. Although they are poisonous pills, they are true immortal pills …
Were they also refined with Little Jiu's help? This Li Changshou is quite something. "
Jiuwu could not help but laugh. He saw something on the porcelain bottles. He brought the porcelain bottles closer and took a closer look at them.
There were two lines of small words written on them. When the two porcelain bottles were connected, they formed the first and second sentences.
"The path of immortality is rare. A gentleman who does not care about vanity will be determined."
The short Daoist held the porcelain bottle and pondered for a while. Soon, he smiled.
"This little fellow had indeed discovered me and Shi Shi previously. That's why he deliberately undid the array.
The meaning of these two sentences was to explain that he and Little Jiu were friends and not to worry.
That's not right. He actually managed to predict that these two porcelain bottles would eventually fall into my or Shi Shi's hands?
Little Jiu would definitely not notice the words on it. Even if he did, he would not care. It was clearly for us to see. Moreover, it should have been fused with Dharma powers not long ago. There are still some traces left.
In other words, he wants I to pretend that I did not notice anything unusual about him? "
The short Daoist put away the porcelain bottle and walked to the round table with his hands behind his back. He rubbed his chin and pondered.
Jiuwu recalled the many arrangements that he had discovered in a radius of 50 kilometers when he had discovered Li Changshou and Youqin Genya's traces in the North Continent …
Then, he looked up at the wooden cage that he had hung in the shade.
That kind of Fiendish Spider was very difficult to raise, but it could reproduce continuously over there …
In addition to the Chain Array and poisonous pills that had appeared in the past few days …
Jiuwu sighed softly. "What an impressive junior.
You did not stand out. Even before you went to the North Continent, not many people in the sect had heard of your Daoist name. There was no trace of you in the rankings of the younger generation.
You did not want to be noticed and wanted to hide in a quiet place to cultivate. I did not want to disturb you. However, as an executive of the Duxian Gate, I was a little worried about you.
Tsk, a gentleman will be determined … When a person is determined, we will meet at three quarters of an hour? "
Jiuwu could not help but be stunned. He could not help but laugh.
…
At three quarters past midnight, Jiuwu rode a white cloud and floated to the Xiao Qiong Mount.
At that moment, the array formation around the Pill Chamber had been closed. A slender figure stood in front of the door of the Pill Chamber. He cupped his hands and bowed to Jiuwu from afar.
Jiuwu smiled and landed on the cloud. Before he entered the Pill Chamber, he could already smell the mellow fragrance of wine.
Li Changshou cupped his hands and bowed. "Greetings, Aunt-Master."
"A gentleman will be determined." Jiuwu smiled and shook his head. He sighed softly and said, "Aren't you afraid that I won't come? I'll let you go to the Punishment Hall to question me? "
"Well …" Li Changshou maintained his posture of cupping his hands and said slowly, "Actually, I'm not confident. Ever since I met you in the North Continent, I've been worried about this matter. However, I know that you are highly respected and will definitely not deliberately make things difficult for the juniors in the sect.
Moreover, I just don't want to attract attention. I have no disloyalty to the Duxian Gate. I also know that as a disciple of the Duxian Gate, I am upright and not afraid of being questioned.
Please come in and rest, Aunt-Master.
I know that Aunt-Master is a brewing expert, so I asked my junior sister to make a few dishes to accompany wine. I boldly invite Aunt-Master to try the wine that I brewed.
If Aunt-Master has any doubts, feel free to ask me tonight. I will think about it and tell you the truth. I only hope that I can dispel the doubts in your heart, so that I can cultivate in peace as usual. "
Jiuwu nodded with a smile and entered the Pill Chamber with his hands behind his back.
Under a window sill, under the bright moonlight, a short table was filled with delicacies. A luminous cup was filled with fine wine.
It was actually the 'Ganges River Dry Liquor' that was brewed for Jiujiu. Li Changshou had opened a small jar in advance.
