"Changshou!
If it weren't for the poisonous pill that you gave me from Elder Wan Linyun, I wouldn't have been able to see you!
Sigh! "
In Jiuwu's pavilion on the Heaven-Breaking Peak, where the Nine Jiu Immortals resided.
It had been two and a half months since the group from the Duxian Gate returned to the sect safely.
Li Changshou waited for Jiuwu's injuries to stabilize and the popularity of the people visiting him to recede before he brought Ling'e to visit Jiu Wu.
His master had been cultivating in seclusion and was not disturbed by this matter.
In the past two and a half months, Li Changshou had been working non-stop day and night. He had made the outer and inner array formations of the Xiao Qiong Mount reach the maximum performance that he could achieve at that moment. He had completely used up all the precious materials that he had accumulated previously!
However, he felt a little more at ease as he stayed.
As soon as he was led into Jiuwu's pavilion by Jiujiu, Li Changshou heard Jiuwu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, sighing …
Li Changshou bowed with a solemn expression and bowed to Jiuwu with his junior sister.
Ling'e placed the tonic wine at the side and was pulled into the side room by Jiujiu.
The tonic wine was specially brewed by Li Changshou for Jiuwu. It could replenish one's primordial energy, stop losses, stabilize one's essence, and strengthen one's muscles and bones.
Li Changshou sighed and walked to the side of the bed.
Due to the fact that Li Changshou had previously reminded Jiujiu, Jiujiu did not expose Li Changshou's "dream".
Even so, Jiuwu was still grateful to Li Changshou. It was all because the poisonous pill had saved his life at the critical moment.
"Martial Uncle, how are your injuries?"
"It's alright." Jiuwu heaved a sigh of relief and said emotionally, "It's just that two of my fellow sect members who traveled with me met with an unexpected calamity. Their souls were scattered in the Center God Province and they can't return."
Li Changshou nodded and could only sigh at the impermanence of the world.
After the two of them sighed for a while, Li Changshou went straight to the point …
"Martial Uncle, how's the investigation going?"
"There are some clues, but it's better than nothing." Jiuwu's eyes revealed a little helplessness. "I don't know what to say …"
This matter might have something to do with the Great Dao of the Chan Sect.
Someone doesn't want the Three Sects' Meet to start smoothly. It seems like they want to cause trouble in secret. "
Li Changshou thought to himself …
"This matter is definitely not that simple."
However, he did not say much and only sighed. "The implications of this matter are too great."
"That's right." Jiuwu shook his head, his eyes filled with sighs. "Changshou, let's talk about your poisonous pill …"
"Uncle-Master, do you want two more to protect yourself?"
Jiuwu said firmly, "That's right. Uncle-Master, you can use immortal treasures, immortal pills, or any treasures you want to exchange for them!"
Li Changshou shook his head slowly and said with a serious expression, "The poisonous pill that I gave you the last time was actually given to me by Elder Wan Linyun. He asked me to figure out the method of alchemy.
Uncle-Master, why don't you look for Elder Wan Linyun …
Uncle-Master, I'll send you a voice transmission. "
Mumbling, and so on and so forth.
Jiuwu quickly nodded and agreed. He pondered.
Although Elder Wan Linyun was indeed infamous, he only knew how powerful the poisonous pill was after using it once …
Sometimes, life-saving immortal pills were a life, and poisonous pills that could kill were also a life.
Jiu Wu said, "Alright, I'll bring Shi Shi with me to visit Elder Wan Linyun later."
Li Changshou nodded slightly. Then, he recalled the matter of Elder Wan Linyun creating his own mystical ability.
He would have to visit him later and ask the elder to teach him the mystical ability called the Poisonous Heaven Cleansing Hand … to protect himself.
Li Changshou asked Jiuwu about the details of the attack on the Golden Palace Sect in front of the mountain gate with concern.
Jiuwu told him everything he knew.
When Li Changshou asked why the five of them went out secretly, Jiuwu sent a voice transmission.
"I've only told the Sect Leader and the elders about this matter. The sect has also given the order not to spread it.
If it weren't for you, I would definitely not have said it.
It was a senior brother …
"Ah, it was an executive of the sect. He said that an expert from Ren School wanted to secretly meet us at the Duxian Gate. He instructed us about some matters regarding the Three Sects' Meeting and lured the other four of us into an ambush.
There were three Heaven Immortals and sixteen Perfected Immortals who ambushed us.
Before the battle even started, the executive's body instantly collapsed …
When we checked later, his essence soul was also shriveled, just like the people who attacked us. The power of his essence soul and soul were all sucked out.
We can only vaguely deduce from the identity of the person who ambushed us. It seems to be the Immortal Sect of Chan School. "
Li Changshou was stunned. There was a hint of fear on his face as he sighed with Jiuwu.
The two of them muttered for a long time, causing a few wisps of spiritual senses and immortal senses to investigate.
Soon, Li Changshou asked the last question of the trip.
"Jiu Wu, I found a jade slip in the inner hall of the Dao Repository Hall. It seems to mention … that there is an Earth Meridian Teleportation Array in the underground meridian of the sect …"
Jiuwu smiled bitterly and sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou.
"There is indeed. The elders, Peak Masters, and the executives of the older generation all know about it. They just don't talk about it.
After the calamity of the demons' sneak attack ten thousand years ago, the Sect Leader of the Duxian Gate also felt that he had to hold back. Therefore, he created an escape route for the disciples who were not strong enough to fight.
"That earth meridian leads to the East Ocean. If a powerful enemy attacks, the disciples can go underground from the Hundred Mortal Hall and use the teleportation array to leave. That way, they will not be affected.
However, only the Hundred Mortal Hall has a way down. "
Li Changshou looked enlightened, but he smiled in his heart …
Now, he could officially announce that there were two ways to go to the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array!
He had never seen any jade slips related to the underground escape route of the Earth Meridian. It was purely …
He dug it directly!
Half a month ago, Li Changshou, who was preparing to create an escape route for the Xiao Qiong Mount's Earth Meridian, dug through the Earth Meridian under Xiao Qiong Mount and almost destroyed the array.
The so-called Earth Meridian Teleportation Array was actually not complicated. Although it had the word 'teleportation', it was not a 'Cosmic Array'. It was just using the power of the earth meridians to 'teleport' along the earth meridians. In an instant, it could appear thousands of kilometers away.
The arrangement in the sect saved Li Changshou a lot of hard work.
However, to be safe, Li Changshou still left a small Earth Meridian Teleportation Array in a more remote location. The direction was in the opposite direction of the sect's large teleportation array.
For that, he used up the last of his precious materials.
Jiuwu reminded him, "You can't tell anyone about this. It's easy for the disciples to panic."
Li Changshou nodded and agreed. He changed the topic and talked about recuperating …
An hour later.
Jiushi came from the side with a bowl of soup and a bottle of pills.
He said gently, "Wuwu, it's time to take your medicine."
Li Changshou looked at the scene that seemed to be a famous painting from his previous life, 'Dalang, it's time to take your medicine'. He stood up tactfully and bade farewell to the two Aunt-Masters.
His junior sister also floated out of the house and bowed to Jiuwu and Jiushi.
Jiujiu originally wanted to go to Xiao Qiong Mount with them to play, but she thought that she could not be too heartless, so she sent Li Changshou and Ling'e out with Senior Sister Jiushi. She waved goodbye to the two of them and continued to guard Fifth Senior Brother …
He had to wait for the right time to play.
Li Changshou brought his junior sister to the Hundred Mortal Hall and bowed to the portrait of Taiqing Lao Tzu before returning to Xiao Qiong Mount …
On the cloud path, Ling'e saw that Li Changshou's expression was a little gloomy.
She whispered, "Senior Brother, is the problem very serious?"
"There's too little information now. I can't be sure," Li Changshou said to his junior sister via voice transmission. "I'll go to the Pill Chamber to cultivate in seclusion for a few days and think about this matter.
If there are any abnormalities in the sect, immediately crush the communication talisman I gave you.
Don't be afraid of wasting it. I can still refine it. "
"Oh, okay."
Ling'e nodded and watched her senior brother land in the Pill Chamber. She stood on the cloud and sighed softly.
Although she also wanted to be like Senior Brother and make herself nervous, but ….
She looked around the sect. Clouds curled up everywhere, and the immortal cranes were auspicious. It was still as peaceful as before …
"Senior Brother, are you … too sensitive?"
Ling'e sighed softly and rode a cloud towards her straw hut.
The array formation around the Pill Chamber was activated. At that moment, there was no more spiritual energy surging in the forest. It was rather calm.
However, if a person with sharp spiritual senses stood outside the dense forest and took a look inside, they might have goosebumps all over their bodies …
…
After entering the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou casually left a paper effigy and turned into green smoke before returning to the secret underground chamber.
He took out a stack of blank scrolls and spread them out on the ground. Then, he took off his shoes and strolled on them.
It was not that he needed a special "posture" to calm down and think …
An hour later, Li Changshou took out a charcoal pencil that he had made and sat down cross-legged. He wrote a line of small words on the leftmost side of the top scroll.
"If I'm the mastermind."
Then, he drew two arrows. One of the arrows was flat, and it was written, "The attack has nothing to do with the Dao discussion between the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island."
The other arrow pointed diagonally at a large blank area below, and it was written, "It's related to the Dao discussion between the Golden Scholars."
After pondering for a while, he drew some arrows on each of the two items and slowly listed all the possible development routes that he felt were possible. Then, he analyzed them one by one …
This time, no matter how small the possibility was, he could not let it go!
"There's really not much information that I know now."
He only knew that the person who schemed against the Duxian Gate was extremely powerful. He had the mystical abilities to control Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals. He could kill those puppets instantly.
There were a few motives.
He had a feud with the Duxian Gate and was plotting against the Duxian Gate's "wealth" …
However, the most likely "enemy motive" was circled by Li Changshou.
"Interfering with the Three Sects' Meeting and sowing discord between the three sects."
He analyzed from the source and verified from the results, not letting go of any logical chain.
Li Changshou lowered his head to write and draw. His immortal senses enveloped the entire Xiao Qiong Mount, and the charcoal pencil in his hand became shorter and shorter.
Three days passed.
Li Changshou heaved a long sigh of relief and sat behind the desk in the secret underground chamber. In front of him was a "black screen" with a white background that he had propped up with his immortal power.
There were densely packed words, symbols, arrows, and patterns.
There were more than ten "storylines" and hundreds of possible scenarios …
Even if the culprit was unknown, as long as the other party took the next step, he would be able to find the corresponding "storylines"!
Li Changshou did not want to find out who the culprit was. There was no point in doing so.
That was because the culprit was most likely someone that he could not come into contact with now.
Li Changshou only wanted to react quickly and make the right response when the other party made a move and was noticed by him …
Directly exposing his cultivation level would only increase the combat power of an elder in the sect. It would not be of much use.
Are there not enough elders in the various peaks?
In a short period of time, it was impossible for him to obtain the authority to speak for the Duxian Gate.
Therefore, it was better to hide his cultivation trump card and secretly do his best to protect himself and the sect …
Moreover, from the practical point of view, hiding in the dark would be more useful.
He took out three wooden signs and Li Changshou took out a carving knife. He lowered his head and fiddled with it.
He used the potion that would disappear after looking at it and wrote three strategies on it. He then placed them in three brocade pouches.
The first strategy was to cry.
He had already laid the groundwork for Jiu Wu. Jiu Wu would go to look for Elder Wan Linyun later.
The brocade pouch would be handed over to Jiu Wu by Elder Wan Linyun. He also strictly ordered Jiu Wu to stay in the sect. If the sect was attacked and the mountain-protecting array formation was broken, he had to ensure that Jiu Wu would definitely open the brocade pouch.
The so-called "crying" was not to cry casually. One had to know how to cry.
Li Changshou wrote on the wooden sign:
"I went to the Hundred Mortal Hall to look for the portrait of the Ancestral Master. I cried from the bottom of my heart and said that the Duxian Gate respected the wonderful Taiqing technique. I was originally at peace with the world, but I was used by others. I wanted to destroy the Ren School and the Duxian Gate to sow discord among the three sects. I asked the Ancestral Master to appear …"
The second brocade pouch was given to Aunt-Master Jiujiu. He could not give it to her directly after something major happened.
The third brocade pouch was given to his master. It stated that he needed his master's help to protect him. In fact, he wanted his master to protect his junior sister and leave.
If a war were to break out between the sects, his master would definitely be affected. He had to be prepared in advance.
Li Changshou did not need anyone to protect him. After discovering the various signs, his main body would definitely be in an extremely safe place …
After sealing the brocade pouch, Li Changshou shouted,
"Prepare for battle!"
Uh, I seem to be the only one in the entire army.
He casually swiped his hand across the table, and two rows of paper effigies jumped out of his sleeve. They bowed to Li Changshou in unison.
Li Changshou smiled and did it again.
"Prepare for battle!"
The paper effigy instantly waved its hand with a murderous aura. It was ferocious.
I'm not joking anymore.
There were three most important things that he had to do now.
He had to quickly expand the Poison Catalyzing Dharma Artifact Vault and increase the number of poisonous powders without an upper limit.
He had to strengthen the paper effigy so that he could split his attention and control it. He could not focus all his attention on the paper effigy.
He had obtained Elder Wan Linyun's deep trust. That was a thigh that was not weaker than the Gold God's!
Li Changshou stood up and looked at the word "culprit" written in the middle of the "black screen" in front of him. His eyes flickered.
It doesn't matter if you are from the west or the north, or if you have a grudge against the Duxian Gate, or if you have a grudge against the other two sects in Chan School and don't want the three sects to reconcile …
As long as you dare to move!
Hmph!
If I dare to run …
…
Half a year later, at the Golden Palace Sect in the Middle Continent.
Three figures flew out of the Immortal Island. They were the three Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island. They had agreed to return to Golden Ao Island. They were a little tired of staying there.
The three of them happened to be the ones who had gone to the Duxian Gate that day.
The other two heard Lao Dao Yuan Ze's complaints and felt the same way. They decided to return to Golden Ao Island to cultivate in advance.
Instead of wasting time here, he might as well go back and enjoy himself!
The white cloud flew for 500 kilometers. Lao Dao Yuan Ze stood at the back. A trace of blood flashed across his eyes. He took two steps forward and suddenly said, "Fellow Daoists …"
The two of them turned around and suddenly heard the buzzing sound of mosquitoes. Before they could react, they felt a pain at the back of their necks and were about to fall.
The old Daoist priest Yuan Ze supported the two middle-aged men and continued to fly in the southeast direction on the cloud as if nothing had happened.
Another half a month later …
Lao Dao Yuan Ze rode the white cloud and stopped in a dense forest in the territory of the demons at the border between the Middle Continent and the East Continent.
As if they had discussed it previously, black shadows gathered from all over the forest and surrounded the three of them. All of them knelt down.
There were demons, humans, and spirits among those figures. They were wrapped in black clothes and tried their best to conceal their auras.
The only thing they had in common was that there were invisible wounds on their necks that had already healed.
A demon came forward with three trays and knelt in front of the three of them. The tray shone with sanguine light. There were three fist-sized, seven-petaled blood-colored lotus flowers.
At that moment, only Old Daoist Yuan Ze and the other two could see a blood-colored figure flickering and floating around them …
The figure's face was blurry, and her figure was exaggerated. She was extremely enchanting.
She whispered something into the ears of the three of them. Her gentle voice drilled into the hearts of the three of them.
"Take it … Take it …
This is the longevity that you have been yearning for …
The Three Sects' Meet is meant for Chan School to suppress Jie School. You have a way to stop it now …
Only you can stop it …
Hurry up and destroy the Duxian Gate, the Duxian Gate … "
The three Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island, led by Lao Dao Yuan Ze, each held a seven-petaled blood lotus and said in unison,
"Yes, Sir!
We will not fail this time! "
Tens of thousands of kilometers away, in the depths of a valley, Wenjing Daoren, who was sitting cross-legged on a jade-colored meditation cushion, smiled coldly.
She did not care too much and turned around to fly towards the west.
She controlled the Qi Refinement cultivators of Jie School and arranged for the puppets to attack the five immortals in the Duxian Gate in order to make the Duxian Gate attract the attention of all parties.
Then, she would let the Qi Refinement cultivators of Jie School disguise themselves as the Immortal Sect of Chan School and the demons to destroy the tiny Duxian Gate …
The scheme was complete.
That was a small scheme to her. The three Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island were a disguise that she had set up.
As long as that happened, the gap between the three sects would continue to increase regardless of the outcome.
It was both a conspiracy and an open scheme.
As for her …
How could she continue to show her face? If she accidentally attracted the Eldest Senior Brother of Ren School, she would not be confident of escaping.
It was a wise move to escape before the incident and secretly return to the Western Sect to watch a good show from afar.
If he discovered that the three of them had succeeded or failed, he would destroy them and leave behind clues that pointed to Jie School and Chan School. That would be the end of it.
If I succeed this time, what will those bastard Deputy Hierarch give me as a reward?
Hmph, what are you going to give to me!?!
If it weren't for the protection of the two masters, these good-for-nothings …
I will suck you dry sooner or later!
Wenjing Daoren sneered and disappeared, leaving only the sound of a mosquito that gradually faded away.
