He changed into the Daoist robe that Ling 'e had personally sewn. His long hair was tied up with a Dao hoop and he smiled calmly at the mirror. Then, he adjusted himself and returned to his serious expression …
It was better to be serious.
"Senior Brother ~"
Li Changshou turned his head and saw Ling 'e carrying an incense burner into the straw hut. She placed the incense burner beside Li Changshou and let him smoke it.
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and removed the disguise on his face, as well as the halos that reduced his charm.
He put on a jade pendant that he had carefully chosen and tied his long hair with a ribbon that complemented his green Daoist robe. He then tidied up his sideburns and habitually shaved his beard, which he could already control for the rest of his life.
Then, he straightened his collar and dusted his cloth shoes. Then, he stopped the activities of the paper effigies and returned his attention to his main body.
Li Changshou looked at himself in the mirror and sighed softly.
What is he doing?
He could clearly rely on his face to earn a living, but he had embarked on a path of cultivation in the Primordial World that relied on scheming to obtain the right to survive!
Li Changshou did not expect that the first time he dressed up seriously in his life was not to meet a fairy …
On the way to visit Perfected Yu Ding while driving the paper effigy, he suddenly received a summon from his teacher in Taiqing. He should have been asked to go to the Taiqing Temple.
Since the Saint had summoned him, what else could it be?
There was only one of the four options: imparting the technique, admonishing him, officially taking him in as a disciple, and explaining some important matters.
It was impossible for him to send a bronze mirror over and create a bronze mirror entertainment for the Celestial Court.
That was really not Taiqing.
At that thought, Li Changshou smiled faintly and tried a few more postures. He crossed his arms and pretended to be deep in thought. He smiled to increase his youthful vibe and frowned.
Pfft …
Steam suddenly curled up from the side. Li Changshou turned his head and saw Ling 'e lying crookedly on the chair. Her face was red, and white smoke was rising from her head.
I'm seriously overloaded.
"Alright, I'm on my way."
Li Changshou cleared his throat and summoned the Black Yellow Pagoda. He told Bai Ze to keep an eye on Xiao Qiong Mount and turned to walk to the side hut.
He lit three joss sticks and paid his respects to his master's memorial tablet.
Qi Yuan died young, living for more than a thousand years.
"Senior Brother!"
Ling'e shouted from behind. She ran over with small steps, tiptoed, and leaned forward. She looked at Li Changshou's true face, which he had finally revealed with much difficulty. She asked softly,
"Are you going to see Sister Yun Xiao?"
"Of course … not," Li Changshou said with a smile, "Teacher must have something to tell me. He wants me to go to the Taiqing temple."
Ling 'e was stunned for a moment before she heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought you were going to use your main body to meet Heng' e, Senior Brother."
Li Changshou said, "You don't leave the house, but you know about this."
"It's all spread." Ling 'e pursed her lips. "The number one beauty of the Three Realms."
Li Changshou casually pinched Ling 'e's face. Ling' e cried out and was gently pulled around by her senior brother. She was angry but did not dare to say anything.
Li Changshou teased, "I thought you understood. I never judge a book by its cover."
After saying that, he turned into a wisp of spring wind and disappeared with the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.
Ling 'e tilted her head and felt that her senior brother had "promised" something just now. Then, she realized that he was teasing her and waved her fist in the direction where Li Changshou had escaped.
She was born … Hmm, more stable, and pleasing to the eye.
Ling 'e moved in front of the mirror and carefully sized up the increasingly beautiful face in the mirror. Although she knew that her senior brother was teasing her, she still fell into deep thought.
After Li Changshou left the Duxian Gate, he asked the Pagoda Master how to go to the Taiqing Temple. However, the Pagoda Master asked Li Changshou to go to the Celestial Court first before flying out of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court.
Therefore, Li Changshou used the transformation technique and transformed into a Heavenly General of the Water God Residence. He took his token and sneaked into the East Heaven Gate.
It was also because he was a legitimate god of the Celestial Court. His essence soul was accompanied by a Divine Power Treasure. The three swords hanging on the Heaven Gate did not react at all. Otherwise, even if Zhao Gongming came, at least one of the three swords would fall.
After the matter with the Immortal Elder Fu Yuan, the Jade Emperor tried his best to increase the defense of the Heaven Gate. The three swords were targeted at the immortals, demons, and demons.
Li Changshou used his escape technique and quietly flew to the Eighth Heaven. Then, he flew towards the deepest part of the sky.
The higher he flew, the more he could feel a gradually increasing pressure on his head. However, his body became more and more agile.
After flying out of the Nine Heavens, a violent wind began to appear in the sky, tearing the smoke that floated over into spiritual energy.
Although Li Changshou would not be affected by the surging spiritual energy, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda still did its best to emit the Mysterious Yellow Aura and wrap around Li Changshou.
The Pagoda Master, who was originally carefree and did not take the treasures of the world seriously, became obedient at that moment. He repeatedly reminded Li Changshou not to be too restrained later and not to be too open. The old master did not like to be too over-the-top. It was enough to express his respect.
In place?
What should I do?
Tears welled up in my eyes, I walked forward quickly, lifted the hem of my Daoist robe, and kowtowed to the Lord Sage first?
Be steady.
When he was outside the Taiqing Temple, he had to bow once. When he entered, he had to bow again. If he could approach the Saint, he had to bow again!
That was the third bow to a disciple. Regardless of whether the Lord Sage acknowledged it or not, he had to bow first!
Hence, Li Changshou carefully deduced his performance when he arrived at the Taiqing Temple a few times. His body had already flown to an unknown height and rushed into the shallow blue sky …
Looking up, Li Changshou could clearly see a thin film that isolated the sky. Endless stars seemed to be hanging on the thin film.
Pangu split the world apart. His eyes turned into the sun and moon, and his long hair turned into stars.
In the ancient times, the Demon Court collected the gold of the Heavenly Cycle Stars and refined the Great Heavenly Cycle Stars Array. Therefore, the starry sky after the ancient times was no longer the original star map of the ancient times.
Outside the boundless sea of stars, Li Changshou seemed to have seen the boundary of the world and the vast void outside the clear air.
Outside the void was Chaos.
The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda gave Li Changshou a direction. Li Changshou continued to fly forward. At that moment, he did not use any escape techniques or mystical abilities. He only used his immortal power to drive himself forward.
Not long after, a sea of clouds appeared under the starry sky. Li Changshou crashed into it and his immortal senses were immediately suppressed to a radius of 100 feet around him.
An ethereal and light pressure assaulted him. It was naturally the Taiqing Dao runes that Li Changshou was extremely familiar with.
After flying for an unknown period of time, a small Daoist temple appeared in the clouds in front of him.
Li Changshou had thought about it for many years, but he could not imagine what the Taiqing Temple looked like. Now that he saw it, he could not help but smile.
It was as if that was how it should be.
The main building of the small courtyard was a small temple that was 20 feet long and wide. It did not even have eaves.
Could it be that the Lord Sage had casually chosen a small temple in a village in the mortal world and moved it to the Nine Heavens to become the Saint's Dao venue?
Li Changshou did not dare to delay. He carried the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda and walked to the wooden door of the small courtyard. He immediately kowtowed.
A voice suddenly sounded in his heart.
"Enter."
He naturally blocked Li Changshou's movement node.
Li Changshou agreed softly. He pushed open the courtyard door, took a deep breath, and walked in.
The courtyard was empty. There was only a collapsed meditation cushion and two potted plants. That should be the Great Daoist Master's cultivation place.
In the green tiled house in the north of the small courtyard sat the thin Daoist. Apart from the Daoist and the meditation cushion, there was only a long table behind the Daoist.
Li Changshou did not dare to look at the old Daoist priest for too long. He walked steadily to the door sill, lifted the hem of his Daoist robe, knelt down, and kowtowed to the old Daoist priest.
The Origin of the Dao.
Inherited Ancestor.
"I, Changshou, pay my respects to Teacher."
Lao Dao squeezed out a smile on his thin face. A voice transmission entered Li Changshou's heart.
"Get up."
It was indeed a tradition of Ren School to send voice transmissions in person!
"Thank you, Teacher," Li Changshou replied softly. He stood up and carried the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda to the side.
The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda disappeared silently.
The old man was the Taiqing Lao Tzu. He could not describe his face because his face was born from his Dao heart. The Dao heart of a Saint was no longer something in the world.
Li Changshou could not form an image of the Taiqing Master in his heart. He could only make an outline and remember the feeling in his heart.
He was relaxed, calm, and composed.
Beside him was the true intent of nature, and in front of him was the manifestation of the Great Dao.
The Taiqing Saint slowly raised his finger. Immortal light circulated in the courtyard and condensed into a second meditation cushion. It was beside Master Xuandu's meditation cushion. Then, the meditation cushion flew into the room.
"Sit."
Lao Tzu sent a voice transmission. Li Changshou lowered his head and agreed. He used the most standard meditation posture and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion.
He puffed out his chest, raised his head, relaxed his shoulders, lifted his buttocks, and tucked in his abdomen. The Dao was natural.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the Taiqing Temple was clearly a little … stiff.
Li Changshou sat there quietly and waited for his teacher's reprimand. He did not dare to think about anything else. He relaxed his body and mind and maintained sufficient vigilance.
The Saint of Taiqing only sat there with his eyes half-closed. The charm of the Great Dao circulated around him.
Then …
There was nothing else.
"Is Master testing my patience?"
Li Changshou could only think that way. Hence, he meditated quietly and did not allow himself to comprehend the Dao. He did not allow himself to have too many thoughts. His Dao heart was peaceful and he waited for the Saint to speak at any time.
He sat there for three days and three nights …
Outside the Taiqing Temple, the stars revolved and the clouds stirred. Li Changshou sat there quietly.
For some reason, he even sang in his heart …
I should be in the courtyard, not in the room. I suddenly feel so strange.
Calm down, calm down. The Saint's gaze lasts for ten thousand years. I just need to wait well.
Another half a month passed …
The Taiqing Master finally took action!
The strongest Saint in the world casually cut open the universe with his finger and took out a stone slab from a vortex. He held it in his hand and lowered his head to read.
Li Changshou really did not want to peek. He happened to see two Dao runes from the corner of his eyes.
The so-called Dao runes were special "words" created by the Connate lifeforms in ancient times. The full name was "Great Dao Runes".
The Dao runes did not have fixed words or grammar. Instead, they carried the information in complicated "patterns" and allowed the reader to comprehend it himself.
Some profound Dao runes would make people dizzy when they looked at them. Some would even be injured by the Dao runes.
After that, the era of Connate lifeforms was destroyed. The Dao runes were gradually replaced by the images and words of Postnatal lifeforms.
The two Dao runes that Li Changshou saw were not some obscure Great Dao cultivation technique. He carefully thought about it in his heart. It was actually …
Uh, "Skills to Communicate with Disciples".
Li Changshou almost covered his eyes and cried …
Teacher, if you can't find a topic, I can take the initiative to speak. There is no need to wait for 18 days and 14 hours!
"Teacher," Li Changshou asked in a gentle voice, "Did you summon me over because you have something to instruct me?"
The Taiqing Master nodded slowly and continued to send a voice transmission to Li Changshou.
"The Purple Cloud Palace is discussing the God-Conferment. Do you know?"
"I know." Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Teacher, do you have anything to remind me about this?"
"Yes, follow me when the time comes."
"Yes, Master!"
Li Changshou lowered his head and agreed. Lao Tzu nodded slowly. Then, the Taiqing Temple fell into silence again.
What … should I do?
Li Changshou did not dare to speak and sat there obediently. If it was just to explain that matter, he would leave whenever the Saint asked him to.
Hence, another half a month later.
The Taiqing Master's voice sounded in Li Changshou's heart.
"Are you investigating that taboo?"
"I didn't investigate. Aunt-Master Nuwa has already told me a lot."
Li Changshou took out the answer that he had long prepared and whispered, "I should have been warned by the Heavenly Dao using this taboo."
"That's right. I'm warning you."
The Taiqing Master paused and looked at Li Changshou. Suddenly, he said something that made Li Changshou's heart turn cold.
"You know too much."
Li Changshou was shocked and almost jumped up to kneel.
Fortunately, the Lord Sage realized that those words were a little too scary. He explained, "This is not a bad thing."
Li Changshou's Dao heart relaxed.
"Teacher, my Dao is balanced. I will not blindly resist the Heavenly Dao. I will do my best to do what I should do for the Dao Sect."
"Okay."
The Taiqing Saint smiled slightly. The voice transmission to Li Changshou became smoother.
"You contributed the most to the rise of the Celestial Court. The Great Dao of Equalization should be used well."
"I will remember Teacher's teachings."
"Don't worry about Zhun Ti. The Western Sect still has its destiny to follow."
Li Changshou tried his best to understand that sentence. He nodded with a solemn expression and asked, "Teacher, I've always been a little uncertain.
"Teacher, disciple has always been a bit unsure. I don't know how far I should go in my schemes against the Western Sect. Please teach me."
The Taiqing Saint said calmly, "Saints cannot die."
"I understand," Li Changshou replied and felt emotional.
The Lord Sage was really domineering.
He made it sound as if he had defeated a group of Saints!
In the Taiqing Temple, the conversation quietened down again. The Taiqing Saint seemed to have used up all his words and was waiting for his words to slowly recover.
Li Changshou did not dare to say anything and waited obediently by the side.
Li Changshou could clearly feel a sense of stability and safety beside his teacher, the Saint. However, he also felt powerless as if everything was not under his control.
Who knew if the Grand Pure One's next question would be to ask how he was getting along with Yun Xiao!
Another half a month later …
"Yun Xiao, do you like it?"
She really asked!
"Yes." Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Fairy Yun Xiao has a noble personality and a deep Dao. She is also righteous and wise. Every time I talk to her, I feel enlightened."
"If Wen Jing can destroy the Gold Lotus, she can join Ren School.
If you can be considered a peacock from the Western Sect, you can also join Ren School. "
"Yes, I understand. I'll help Senior Brother arrange it later. However, Senior Brother seems to be … not interested in these matters."
Li Changshou asked softly with uncertainty, "Teacher, is that what you mean?"
The smile on the Taiqing Saint's lips widened. His fingers streaked across the universe and took out a jade token from the vortex. He handed it to Li Changshou.
Li Changshou hurriedly grabbed it with both hands and looked at the contents of the jade token. It was actually a …
Escape technique!
What does Teacher mean?
After learning this escape technique, Senior Brother Xuandu will not be able to catch up to me and then let go of this matter?
"Thank you for the technique, Teacher. I will definitely contribute to the prosperity of Ren School!"
The Saint of Taiqing smiled in satisfaction and entered the next round …
The cycle of silence.
…
Three years later, Li Changshou left the Taiqing Temple and quietly returned to the Xiao Qiong Mount. He reached the rocking chair in front of his Pill Chamber and lay down silently. He sighed softly.
I'm finally back …
"Senior Brother!"
Ling 'e called out softly and flew over on a white cloud. She jumped in front of Li Changshou and bowed.
She shouted happily, "Senior Brother, you must have gained an extraordinary harvest after listening to the Lord Sage's teachings for so long!"
"This is for you." Li Changshou took out a jade bottle from his sleeve. "In the future, when you encounter a strong enemy, hold this bottle and point it at him. If he dares to speak, he will be captured and brought into this place.
The Saint gave it to you and accepted you as an in-name disciple. "
Ling 'e blinked and held the bottle over. She did not feel that being an in-name disciple of the Taiqing Saint was a big deal. She pestered her senior brother and asked him questions. She was filled with curiosity.
When Ling 'e asked, "What did the Saint say to you, Senior Brother?"
Li Changshou closed his eyes and sighed. No one would believe him if he said that he was chatting with the Taiqing Teacher.
However, this time, he was indeed called to chat about family matters. In the end, if not for the fact that the Taiqing Master really could not find a topic to talk about, he probably would not have let him back!
Li Changshou said weakly,
"Kowtow three times in front of the Saint and impart the Inaction Dao of Taiqing."
Ling 'e blinked, her eyes filled with gratification. For some reason, she felt that the child that she had painstakingly raised was finally promising.
