"Lord Envoy!"
On the reef, a Daoist said with a trembling voice, "We have already searched everywhere. We have also been watching outside Xiong Village for a long time …
However, we can't find the whereabouts of the Sea God at all!
Please spare us, Lord Envoy!
We are willing to search for mortal blood for a thousand years for you! "
"Mortals?" The woman's eyes were cold. "What's so good about the blood of mortals?
Not only will there be no spiritual energy, but there will also be a loss of merit.
You have followed me for so long. You should know that I have already washed away the negative karma left behind by my original cultivation. I no longer kill mortals.
As for you, hmph!
On account that our sect is still in need of help, I'll temporarily pardon the two of you for not doing a good job. "
The two Daoists heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly shouted,
"Thank you, Lord Envoy!"
"Thank you, Lord Envoy!"
The woman glanced at the two of them coldly. The two Perfected Immortals hurriedly shut up and continued to kneel there, not even daring to breathe.
These human Qi Refinement cultivators are really useless.
The woman snorted coldly and narrowed her long phoenix-like eyes. She stared at the distant sea and thought about the orders she had just received.
Her Daoist name was Wen Jing. She was originally the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito King who had obtained the Dao. She was neither a demon nor a spirit. In fact, she was an ancient ferocious demon.
Seriously speaking, she was still a queen!
Before the six ancient Saints had obtained the Dao, she had led the Blood-Winged Black Mosquitoes to harm the living beings of the Western Sect. Later, she was restrained by the two "reserve" Saints of the Western Sect, but she was not killed by the two Saints.
At that time, the two Saints of the Western Sect had already obtained the Primordial Violet Qi bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, but they had not comprehended the method to become a Saint.
Now that a long time had passed, Wenjing Daoren had secretly succeeded in cultivating the Dao and became the Plague Cleansing Envoy of the Western Sect. She specialized in doing dirty work that would damage the reputation of the Western Sect.
She was ferocious and did not blink when she killed living beings.
When she transformed, she chose such an enchanting appearance so that it would be convenient for her to do some sinister deeds.
After being forced to join the Western Sect, Daoist Wen Jing had continuously used the merit of incense offerings to wash away the negative karma on her body. Now, her negative karma had been reduced to zero.
However, the Heavenly Dao sensed it and did not allow her to obtain any merit. It also made Wenjing Daoren very angry.
"I really want to stab this biased Heavenly Dao of the human race!"
Wenjing Daoren was deep in thought when she heard the two people beside her talking again …
"Lord Emissary, the South Sea Sect only occupied the periphery.
The incense offerings we set up occupied a large area in the southwest of the South Continent …
Actually, this time … I didn't lose too much. "
"Lord Envoy, why don't we secretly destroy that Xiong Village …"
Wenjing Daoren turned his head and looked at his subordinate. The latter shuddered and didn't dare to say anything else.
He only hated himself for having a mouth!
"Killing mortals will only increase negative karma for nothing. There's no benefit at all.
What I want to find is the person who set up the trap for the Joss Flames. I want to suck his merit and blood essence dry.
To build so many statues in such a short period of time, this person's scheming is far more profound than the few of you trash. "
The enchanting Taoist dressed in a blood-red robe scolded coldly and took a few steps to the side. Her figure swayed and was extremely beautiful, but the two of them did not dare to lift their eyelids.
Wenjing Daoren pondered for a while and said, "The South Sea is still far from the Western Sect.
"The South Sea is far from the West to begin with. There are only hundreds of thousands of Joss Flames here. It doesn't matter if it's lost.
Now, I have an even more important matter for you to investigate.
In the East Continent, there is an immortal sect called the Duxian Sect. It can barely be considered a disciple of Ren School. A few days ago, it fought with a few lousy Heaven Immortals of Golden Ao Island.
Today, you will rush to the East Continent to investigate this matter and see if there is any basis for scheming.
If you do this well, I can let you atone for your sins. I will also give you some rewards. "
The two of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy after surviving a calamity.
Then, the two of them shouted in a loud voice,
"Yes, Sir!"
"Go. If you mess up or expose your identities, you know the consequences."
Wenjing Daoren waved her slender fingers gently.
The two of them hurriedly retreated and jumped into the sea, quickly leaving the place that was enveloped by the array formation.
"Useless people are really useless. They can only be used to gather information."
There was a hint of coldness in Wenjing Daoren's eyes. With a flick of her finger, two black mosquitoes flew out and landed on the back of the two Perfected Immortals' necks silently. The two of them did not notice it at all …
If there are any abnormalities, suck them dry and kill them. Don't leave any traces.
After giving the order in his heart, the voice of the black mosquito echoed.
"Yes, King."
Previously, the person who had given her the order to make an issue out of the battle between the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island, the Deputy Hierarch of the Western Sect, was a disciple of the Great Saint.
That seemed to be a small matter, but Wenjing Daoren knew very well that it involved the pride of the Three Sects of the Dao Sect and the Saints …
She had to plan carefully and could not appear personally.
If she was not careful and exposed the fact that the Western Sect had been trying to divide the Three Sects of the Dao Sect, she would definitely be killed by the two Saints of the Western Sect before the experts of the Dao Sect attacked.
At that time, she, the ferocious demon, would become the culprit behind the relationship between the Three Sects of the Dao Sect …
Although she had been doing some dirty work for the Western Sect, it did not mean that Wenjing Daoren was willing to submit.
Submit?
She was the queen of a race!
If not for the fact that the two Saints of the Western Sect had detained all the black mosquitoes in her race and used them as a threat, she would have long sucked the sanctimonious Deputy Hierarch dry!
"Hmph!"
Wenjing Daoren swept her sleeves, and her enchanting figure turned into a sanguine color. She disappeared with the surrounding array formation.
There was nothing on the surface of the sea except for the sound of mosquitoes circling around.
They only heard the sound, but did not know its whereabouts.
That was probably a secret technique passed down by the ancestors of the Mosquitoes.
…
"Stupid Senior Brother!"
On the Little Qiong Peak, under the willow tree by the lake, Lan Ling 'e was kneeling by the lake. She used her handkerchief to wash the "makeup" that she had painstakingly put on.
"Bad Senior Brother!
You didn't tell me what the painting was and made me embarrass myself!
In the end, you even said that my Dao heart is unstable and that I'm doing these extraordinary things every day. I'm doing all this to make you happy!
It's just copying the Inaction Sutra a hundred times. So be it! What's the big deal!?! "
In his master's straw hut, Li Changshou could not help but raise his hand to his forehead when he heard Lan Ling 'e complaining softly by the lake.
This …
Qiyuan Laodao sat on the round chair and gestured for Li Changshou to take a seat beside him. He asked, "Changshou, what do you want to discuss with me?"
"Master, activate the surrounding array formations first. I'm afraid that the walls have ears."
"Okay." Qiyuan Laodao nodded and activated the array formation around the straw hut. Then, he stared at Li Changshou and sized him up.
Previously, when Ling 'e did not reveal that her senior brother was extraordinary, Qiyuan Laodao only felt that his eldest disciple was timid and afraid of death. However, his aptitude was excellent and his cultivation progress had always been good.
However, after being trapped in the Pill Chamber's maze array, Qiyuan Laodao thought about his interactions with his eldest disciple …
He still could not find any clues.
However, the array formation around the Pill Chamber …
This mysterious Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra …
And the mystical ability of the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts that he could not understand …
"Changshou." Qiyuan Laodao leaned forward and whispered, "Tell me the truth.
What realm are you at now? "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "When I went out to return home, I went to transcend the tribulation."
Then, when I transcended the tribulation, I accidentally ascended … Naturally, he could not say the latter half of the sentence directly.
Qiyuan Laodao nodded and felt more at ease.
He had finally confirmed his eldest disciple's true cultivation level.
After transcending the tribulation, he would be an Essence Immortal.
He had already become an immortal in 120 to 130 years. His aptitude was already top-notch!
Qiyuan Laodao frowned again and said, "Then why did you hide your cultivation level?
Isn't it good to reveal your cultivation level normally and get the sect's care and protection? "
"Master, the world is difficult, and the human heart is unpredictable."
Li Changshou said in a low voice, "Think about it. When I was in the Void Return Realm, I always appeared to be in the Soul Formation Realm.
If someone wants to deal with me, they will naturally consider it as dealing with a Soul Formation Realm cultivator. Then, the other party will most likely reveal a flaw and I will have a higher chance of survival …
You should be able to understand this logic. "
Qiyuan Laodao nodded and pondered. He had a nagging feeling that something was amiss, but he could not tell what it was.
Li Changshou continued, "I have been pretending to be an outstanding disciple in the sect. My strength is close to that of the immortal seedlings. The monthly allowance that I can receive is only 20% less than those immortal seedlings.
However, the benefit is that others do not know my name or my techniques. No one will plot against me.
Master, think about it.
If an immortal seedling appears in our Xiao Qiong Mount, others will definitely be jealous.
If a chief disciple appears, he might be targeted by the other peaks …
There will also be competition between the peaks for cultivation resources. After all, the income of the various aspects of the sect is stable. "
Qi Yuan pondered for a while and nodded slowly.
In the past, he had always felt that his eldest disciple's unorthodox methods were crooked. Now that his eldest disciple was stronger than him, he suddenly felt that these principles …
Actually, it made sense …
Qiyuan Laodao stroked his beard and sighed. "That's really the case. I didn't think too much about it previously."
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. He did not expect his master to be more easygoing than he had imagined …
Ahem, it's easy to convince him.
"Master, what I want to tell you today is about the future of you, Junior Sister, and me."
"Future?"
Qiyuan Laodao did not know whether to laugh or cry. He scolded, "What do you mean by a way out?
Isn't it wonderful for us to cultivate in the sect and live in peace every day?
Do you think that the sect can't accommodate an immortal like you? "
"The sect is naturally very good to us. If the sect is in trouble, I will definitely help the entire sect under the premise that I can protect my life. I will definitely take revenge in the future."
Li Changshou said seriously, "But Master, don't you want to live longer?"
"Of course I want to live longer." Qi Yuan sighed and said, "However, you don't have to worry about me. I'm already satisfied that I can become a Turbid Immortal and have the chance to cultivate to the Perfected Immortal realm …"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Master, there's a way that you can extend your lifespan after you cultivate to the Perfected Immortal realm.
Moreover, it will be beneficial to me and my junior sister in the future. "
"It's beneficial to you and Ling'e? Tell me about it. "
Li Changshou pointed at the top and wrote two words on the table with his finger.
Celestial Court.
Ancient version!
Qiyuan Laodao frowned and pondered for a while.
When Li Changshou saw that, he sighed in his heart.
Like most cultivators, his master should be resistant to a "public" place like the Celestial Court.
There was nothing he could do about it. After all, cultivating in the mountains was carefree. It was far better than being controlled by the Heavenly rules and being ordered around by others.
Li Changshou had prepared an excuse in advance to see if he could persuade his master to go to heaven.
If his master did not want to go to heaven, Li Changshou would not force him. This time, he was just giving it a try …
"Master …"
Just as Li Changshou was about to speak, Qi Yuan asked in confusion,
"What's the use of this place for lifespan?"
Huh?
Li Changshou was stunned. "Master, don't you know the benefits of this place?"
"I heard that after the Great Magi-Demon War, a few Lord Sage set up such a place in the broken Demon Court." Qi Yuan frowned and said, "I didn't hear the details."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
At that moment, the existence of the Celestial Court …
It was simply too tempting!
"Master, listen to me in detail."
Qiyuan Laodao nodded and listened to Li Changshou with interest.
Half a day later.
Li Changshou walked back to the Pill Chamber with his hands behind his back. The small box had already been retrieved from his master.
He did not expect his master to not be resistant to working in the Celestial Court. Instead, he felt that it was quite novel. He would be more motivated to cultivate and break through to the Perfected Immortal realm …
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that after his master became a Turbid Immortal, he would actually be out of place in the sect.
If his master could break through to the Perfected Immortal realm as soon as possible, he would be able to become a low-ranking official in the Celestial Court or become a land owner.
Li Changshou had left many pills for his master to increase his cultivation level.
He was already a Turbid Immortal, so there was no need for him to be particular about anything else. His future development potential was limited, so it was not impossible to use pills to increase his cultivation level.
When his master reached the Perfected Immortal realm, he would use his connections with the Moon God to get his master to become a clerk in the Celestial Court …
The second step of the plan was rather easy.
Next, it would depend on when his master could break through to the Perfected Immortal realm. It would probably take another thousand years.
Or even two thousand years …
However, it would definitely be before the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was formed!
The cultivation of Turbid Immortals was much more difficult than the Essence Immortals of the Heaven Immortal Dao. Part of the reason was that they could not obtain the opportunity of the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Before that, should we make a safe house outside the mountain gate?"
Li Changshou slowly pondered.
If the Duxian Gate were to be in danger of being exterminated before the three of them reported to the Celestial Court, he would be able to bring his master and junior sister to a place to settle down …
After strolling in the forest for a while, Li Changshou temporarily gave up on that idea.
The most important thing now was to do a good job with the Xiao Qiong Mount Composite Array.
In fact, he did not have that many precious materials to build a "safe house" with complete array formations.
As soon as he returned to the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou's immortal senses captured Jiuwu's flying figure.
Jiu Wu had indeed helped him a lot during Ao Yi's sudden visit this time. Regardless of whether he had helped or not, he still appreciated his sincerity.
The short Daoist seemed to be in a good mood. After entering the isolation array outside the Xiao Qiong Mount, he laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha!
Disciple-Nephew Changshou, guess what I brought you?
This time, you dealt with the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island well. The sect has given you many rewards! "
As he spoke, the short Daoist stood on the cloud and threw two treasure pouches over. "These are all precious materials used to set up array formations. Take it as an encouragement for you to continue studying the Dao of array formations!"
Li Changshou used his immortal power to control the treasure pouch. He checked it from afar before holding it in his hand.
Jiuwu was already used to that. He rode a cloud and stopped in the air 100 feet away.
Li Changshou cupped his hands and bowed. "Thank you, Uncle-Master."
"Sigh, it's too early to thank me."
Jiuwu took out another silver-white sword and threw it over casually. He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "This is the permit to enter the inner hall of the Dao Repository.
I spent some effort to get it for you over there.
In the inner hall of the Dao Repository, there are a large number of array formations and alchemy manuals that only Perfected Immortals in the sect can read.
How is it?
Huh?
Huh? "
As he spoke, Jiuwu winked.
Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat. He immediately grabbed the silver-white sword in his hand and played with it twice. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He did not expect that there would be such benefits this time!
Previously, he had exposed his cultivation level and attracted attention. He had suffered a slight loss.
From the looks of it, he had really profited!
"Uncle-Master, come in and sit down."
"No, no." Jiuwu waved his hand and sighed. "Ah, I'm a tiring person. I'm about to go out again.
You should become an immortal earlier and become an executive in the sect. Then, you will know how tiring this job is. "
Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Uncle-Master, why are you going out this time?"
Jiuwu smiled and said, "The Middle Continent seems to be holding a Three Schools Immortal Sect Meeting. It's estimated to be held in fifty or a hundred years.
I will immediately go with the two elders to show my face. I will represent the Duxian Gate and discuss the details with the other sects.
However, compared to those large sects, the Duxian Gate is too young. Our weight is Taiqing, so we don't dare to say much. We can only listen to the other sects. "
Three Schools Immortal Sect Meeting?
What … is this?
Is it related to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation?
Li Changshou pondered for a while. Jiuwu seemed to be a little anxious. He instructed him to cultivate well and immediately turned around to leave.
Li Changshou looked up and hurriedly said,
"Uncle-Master, wait!"
He should have called out 'Wait' instead, since it was a slip of the tongue.
