Chapter 151 Little Qiong Peak’s Cla.s.sroom
The weather in the Immortal Du Sect was mostly pleasant and sunny.
After resting for a day and night, Li Changshou felt that his entire body had become much lighter. He was in a daze, and his mind was clear, full of enlightenment.
It was indeed good weather for enlightenment…
According to the agreement yesterday, Ling’e arrived outside the array formation early and waited for two hours.
Actually, Li Changshou had already been staring at his junior sister for two hours.
When a portion of his mind was resting, he opened up the killing arrays around the Pill Chamber. It was not easy for his little Junior Sister to be raised. He did not want anything to happen to her because of her carelessness… Fortunately, Ling’e was very obedient. She stood quietly outside the array formation.
After Li Changshou unlocked the array formation, she rode a cloud and hummed a song. With a faint smile, she floated towards the Pill Chamber.
Ling’e had also dressed up that day. She was clad in a light green, thin, long dress. Her long hair was tied up with a ribbon. Her originally delicate and pretty face was perfectly decorated with some powder.
As her black hair fluttered in the wind, one could see that her willow-like waist was slightly slender.
Her skirt fluttered and the hem rose in the wind, and her slender legs could be seen.
Li Changshou led his junior sister to the Pill Chamber. Just as he was about to activate the surrounding array formations and conduct a systematic and comprehensive lesson for her, his immortal senses captured Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu flying out of the Heaven-Breaking Peak…
After thinking for a while, Li Changshou felt that he should take the opportunity to let his Little Aunt-Master, who would occasionally go out, undergo some changes in mentality… Ahem, what mentality…
He only gave his Aunt-Master some small and useless advice. He wanted her to sever the karma as soon as possible so that it would not affect the sect and Little Qiong Peak…
Very quickly, Jiu Jiu sneakily approached the vicinity and jumped into the Pill Chamber with a whirring sound.
Ling’e patted her chest cooperatively. Jiu Jiu was instantly overjoyed.
Li Changshou smiled and handed a few bottles of fine wine to Jiu Jiu. He said slowly, “Aunt-Master, I’m going to tutor Lingle today. Are you going to listen by the side or go somewhere else to play?”.
“Revision?”
Jiu Jiu blinked and quickly puffed up her chest as she raised her head. “Then today, I will give you some pointers on your cultivation!”
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and thought to himself, You have the final say since you have a higher level of seniority. The jade token in his hand flickered. Layers of array formations were activated around the Pill Chamber.
Li Changshou said, “It’s naturally best if you can stay, Aunt-Master. However, you still have to swear an oath to not tell anyone else what you heard today and to keep it between the three of us. This… is, after all, our Little Qiong Peak’s unique technique.”
Jiu Jiu frowned and muttered, “What is it that can’t be taught to outsiders? Little Qiong Peak has a unique technique?” Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “Could it have been left behind by your ferocious grandmaster?”
Li Changshou and Ling’e looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Jiu Jiu was instantly interested. After making an oath, she carried the rocking chair outside the door and jumped onto the rocking chair.
“Go on, go on. I’ll listen by the side!”
At that moment, Li Changshou modified the lesson plan that he had previously prepared. He removed some personal experience and began teaching Ling’e. What he taught was—the three important things of achieving victory, staying stable and severing karma.
There was no need to take more opportunities or treasures. The Dao Fruit of longevity was on him.
Ling’e listened attentively and nodded continuously. Jiu Jiu, who was beside her, was rather surprised.
Aunt-Master Jiang Lin’er is indeed someone who lived outside. Those principles seem to be very useful!
As such, Jiu Jiu was listening with relish and excitement.
After Li Changshou spoke for an hour, he started to answer questions in cla.s.s.
“Junior Sister, if you met someone who’s at the same level as you and has unknown intentions, how are you going to deal with him?”
Ling’e thought for a moment and said, “Put him down with an incapacitating agent.”
Li Changshou continued to ask, “If he only wants to ask you for your name…”
Without thinking, Ling’e answered, “Increase the dosage!”
Jiu Jiu, who was at the side, could not help but sway. She almost slipped off her chair.
Li Changshou said, “Tell me about your thoughts.”
Ling’e said seriously, “If he knows my name, wouldn’t he be able to use witchcraft on me?”
Li Changshou rubbed the middle of his forehead and said, “Don’t follow my theory. It’s not a wise move to confuse others for no reason. Just follow your heart.”
Ling’e pursed her lips and muttered softly, “Senior Brother, what if you misunderstand that there’s something between me and him…”
Jiu Jiu could not help but laugh.
Li Changshou said, “Think about it again.”
Ling’e frowned and thought for a while. Soon, she whispered, “I’ll still use the incapacitating agent to knock him down… Then, I’ll change his aura and appearance. I’ll spill the immortal wine all over his body and quickly leave him.”
“You barely pa.s.sed.”
“Hehe, you taught me that, Senior Brother!”
Li Changshou shook his head and said, “You forgot to observe the surroundings and deduce the person’s chances of survival after being drugged with the incapacitating agent.”
Ling’e asked, “But if I were to go out alone, shouldn’t I change my appearance and figure and try my best to integrate into the environment so that no one will notice me?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “That’s true. I’ve been enlightened recently. Continue listening to the questions…”
Just like that, Ling’e remained seated and kept answering. Li Changshou paced back and forth, asking questions, imparting knowledge, and answering questions.
Seated on the rocking chair at the side, Jiu Jiu’s expression changed from a look of shock to blankness, then to realization. She was also acquiring a little bit of the secret technique of Little Qiong Peak.
Four hours later… Li Changshou said, “Alright, that’s all for today’s revision lesson.”
Ling’e nodded happily and heaved a sigh of relief. Her expression was filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Re… revision?
Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she could not say anything. She thought about it carefully. Those principles… were actually not wrong.
Next…
“Junior Sister, if someone tries to kill you and you succeed in killing him, or if you kill your enemy, what will you do?”
Without thinking, Ling’e said, “Flee far away.”
Li Changshou shook his head and said, “It’s not bad to escape, but how should you deal with the corpses before you escape?
What if the remnant soul of the corpse escapes with hatred towards you?
“There are many Yin cultivation techniques in this world that allow remnant souls to reincarnate.”
Ling’e pinched her smooth chin and said firmly, “Senior Brother, please teach me!”
“The core of today’s lecture is the Little Qiong ash-scattering method!”
Li Changshou nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of his sleeve, a wooden board appeared behind him.
There were more than ten simple images drawn on the wooden board. There were detailed explanations for each painting.
Li Changshou began to explain.
“The first step of dealing with the corpses is to prepare the methods to handle them. You can use poisonous pills and True Flames. While dealing with the corpses, the most important thing that you need to do is to determine if the other party has a Dharma treasure that will not report on its own. Therefore, you should try your best to destroy the other party’s storage Dharma treasures. Don’t keep thinking about how wonderful it would be to pick up treasures after killing someone. However, the most important thing is to deal with the other party’s soul.”
He continued, “The Essence Soul Dao is the mainstream cultivation method in the Three Realms. The effects of different Dao const.i.tuents are varied. The soul of the enemy is the most important thing to deal with when handling the corpses. Today, I will teach you to use the strongest Dharma artifact of the Little Qiong Peak!”
“The strongest Dharma artifact?” Ling’e was intrigued.
Li Changshou took out two green beads and handed them to Ling’e solemnly.
That was the legacy!
That was the Senior Brother’s love for his Junior Sister!
“This item is called the Soul-Bewitching Pearl. It only has one use, and that is to collect remnant souls.”
Little Aunt-Master’s voice came from the side. “Give me one too!”
Li Changshou smiled and took out two Soul-Bewitching Pearls. He used the simulated Dharma powers to push them to Little Aunt-Master. He smiled and said, “Aunt-Master, do you think this is necessary?”
Jiu Jiu nodded forcefully. The linen s.h.i.+rt that she was wearing could not bear the burden.
Jiu Jiu smiled and said, “Don’t be fooled by your Grandmaster’s frivolous behavior. She often bullies the weak… Hmph, she bullies those who are older! However, I admire her abilities. I saw her that day too. If my master had not come and if Elder Wan had not been ruthless, the others would not have been able to stop her.”
Li Changshou revealed a gratified smile and continued with his lesson.
“This is only the first step,” Li Changshou said. “The Soul-Bewitching Pearl might not be able to completely absorb the soul. It might even leave traces of the soul fragment. In the Three Realms, there is a treasure called the Six Paths of Reincarnation that could nurture remnant souls. A remnant soul can be reincarnated. At this moment, we need these three scriptures!”
“Use the ‘Disaster-dispelling Blessing Incantation’, which is used to eliminate your own negative karma, to directly lure the remnant soul of the other party to the Dao of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the ‘Expiation Sutra’, and the ‘Pure-Land Rebirth Mantra’ that came from the west.”
“After the three incantations, burn the other party’s essence soul with the burning technique and the Soul-Bewitching Pearls. You only need to observe carefully. Most of the time, you will not miss anything. Of course, the premise is that you have to be in a quiet environment and quickly finish all of this.”
Ling’e and Jiu Jiu nodded in unison. Their beautiful eyes were filled with admiration.
Of course, Li Changshou would teach Lingle the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts mystical ability in the future. However, he could not casually teach it to Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu.
Gradually, time pa.s.sed from dawn to dusk.
In the Pill Chamber, which was covered by layers of array formations, Li Changshou’s figure paced back and forth. Ling’e kept nodding, asking questions, and repeatedly revised.
Jiu Jiu, who had unknowingly sat on the meditation cus.h.i.+on with Ling’e, quickly joined the ranks of seeking guidance.
Li Changshou could only say that Little Aunt-Master was indeed a senior in the sect whom he thought highly of. She accepted those thoughts very quickly. Naturally, it was all thanks to Grandmaster Jiang Lin’er.
Li Changshou had never expected that his grandmaster, who was wandering outside, would suddenly return to the sect. Her “ability to move” in the mountain suddenly became stronger.
There were some minor matters that could be concealed by being attributed directly to the excuse of “Grandmaster’s impartation”.
The first letter that Jiang Lin’er sent was delivered to the Immortal Du Sect six years after she left.
The letter was for Li Changshou, not old Daoist priest Qi Yuan. Hence, Li Changshou had perfectly hidden it from his master.
According to the letter, Jiang Lin’er had returned to her original “Immortals’ group”. Her life was very comfortable.
She had already gone to the underworld three or four times and had been trying to get through the connections. Finally, she found out the trajectory of Wan Jiangyu’s reincarnation
However, Jiang Lin’er only found out that during the last path of reincarnation, Wan Jiangyu reincarnated into a tree spirit. That tree spirit was born hundreds of years ago, and its lifespan was nearing its end… Jiang Lin’er decided to wait until the next life of Wan Jiangyu. She wanted to see if she could bring Wan Jiangyu back to the Immortal Du Sect and renew her immortal fate.
Li Changshou and Ling’e were rather happy about that. Li Changshou decided that he would definitely research and develop a type of medicinal pill in the future to let his Grandmaster get rid of her worries.
Since he already had the Ambition Pill, he should make another pill to achieve perfection. When Li Changshou was deducing the general situation in the underground chamber, he did not forget to visit Elder Wan Linyun to look at the immortal sense pills.
However, Elder Wan Linyun seemed to be in a dilemma. He could not refine the Immortal Sense poisonous pills for a long time, but Li Changshou could not directly take the Anti-Reconnoitering Pill and Flame of Heart Pill.
He could only wait for Elder Wan Linyun to figure it out himself.
The Sea G.o.d Sect of the South Ocean had entered a long period of peace. However, the dragon race had encountered some trouble. There had been an incessant insurgency in the four seas, causing the four Dragon Palaces to be exhausted from dealing with them.
It was obvious that the Western Sect was playing tricks on them.
Li Changshou was not in a hurry. Those changes were all in his calculations and deductions.
He had to complete the mission given to him by the Saint while ensuring his own safety.
There was no news of the Heavenly Courts’ decree. In the 15th year of the ‘Sea G.o.d Temple Scam’ incident, General Dongmu had ascended again. He had brought three questions from the Jade Emperor, so Li Changshou naturally answered them steadily.
From Li Changshou’s point of view, those answers were not excellent, but they could be considered above average. They could definitely solve the problem, but it would require some unnecessary effort.
Then… General Dongmu did not give any “user feedback either”. Li Changshou did not know the effect for the time being.
The Western Sect’s plot against the dragon race should last centuries, or even longer.
Li Changshou cultivated quietly in the sect and meditated. He waited slowly and contacted Ao Yi regularly. He was in no hurry to get involved.
The sun rose and the moon set. The cycle continued.
When the sky was dark and bright, the world would follow.
Gradually, Li Changshou’s deductions regarding the matter that involved the dragon race had already been met with several logical theories.
However, he could not predict what the Western Sect would do next…
The first to happen was actually the Three Sects’ Meet.
Recently, there had been all kinds of news circulating in the sect. It seemed that the Three Sects’ Meet was about to start in advance. The Three Immortal Sects would gather at the Golden Palace Sect in the Middle Continent…
Li Changshou decided that once the Three Sects’ Meet was over, he would personally write a letter to explain to the Jade Emperor about the dragon race and stabilize one of the people involved in the entry of the dragon race to the Heavenly Courts.
With the intention to give it a try, he began his long-prepared escape plan.
It was impossible for him to ambush Ling’e, injure her severely, and stay behind to take care of her…
If his master took care of her in the sect and he went out, wouldn’t that be a waste of effort?
