Chapter 113 Specializing in all Bewitching Mystical Abilities
How… do I go about it?
On the way to meet up with Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, Li Changshou allowed the paper effigy to maintain his master’s Earth Escape speed. He was a little conflicted.
He had used the paper effigy to help his master go to that place because he wanted to catch the other party’s weakness that would reveal her true colors.
However, his True Samadhi Flames had burned the “weakness” to the point that there were only some sc.r.a.ps left. He had even scattered them just now…
Although there were still some remnant souls of the Soul-Bewitching Pearl, they would quickly dissipate…
Li Changshou had a.n.a.lyzed and deduced the possibility. The two letters could be part of a scam. The only enemy that his master had, wanted to deceive his master to that place and then secretly kill him.
However, Li Changshou did not expect that his master’s enemy would secretly hire a demon in the Perfected Immortal realm to commit murder.
A masked man in a Dharma treasure cloak appeared in front of the centipede demon’s remnant soul…
Considering that the other party would definitely use an illusory trick when doing such a thing, that tiny bit of information was meaningless.
This centipede was considered unlucky.
He had traveled hundreds of kilometers from the North Continent to that place and rushed to the “home” of the demons, which he was familiar with. The centipede demons had chosen Lindong City
The centipede demons thought that it was a deal that was definitely profitable. They had been hiding in the dark for months and were waiting to meet their target during a “late-night rendezvous”. They would then kick the Turbid Immortals to death with their legs…
However, he did not expect that the centipede demon would be gone for more than a month before the agreed date. Li Changshou put away the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and sighed softly in his heart. He did not dwell on that matter.
Perhaps, that was fate.
Li Changshou intentionally revealed a wisp of his aura. Jiu Wu quickly captured Qi Yuan, who had rushed over underground.
The short Daoist coughed and put his hands behind his back, indicating that he had not gone overboard.
The lady boss, who had a graceful posture, was now tied up with an immortal rope and thrown under the tree. “Senior Brother, have you not asked?”
“Qi Yuan” slowly crawled out of the gra.s.s. Jiu Wu frowned and shook his head.
Jiu Wu said, “Junior Brother, I did some calculations just now. However, my deduction method is not good. I can only find out that the origin of merit on this demon is not insignificant.”
Li Changshou deliberately sighed and said, “I thought that there would be some merit treasures this time…”
“Junior Brother, you can’t think that way,” Jiu Wu said seriously. “We are both human Qi Refinement cultivators. It is our duty to protect the human race since we entered the Ren School to cultivate.”
He continued, “If we let this bunch of demons cause trouble in that brothel, who knows how many mortals would have their families ruined? How many mortal men would have their Yang sucked away by the demons, and end up having their lifespans shortened?”
Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. He thought, Uncle-Master’s awareness is quite good.
“This demon is also evil,” said Jiu Wu. “Although he has merit protecting her, we can’t ignore her. When she wakes up, we’ll interrogate her and take action…”
Jiu Wu swiped his hand across his neck. Qi Yuan gave him a thumbs-up and smiled. The word ‘good’ was actually an expression of ‘yes’ and ‘sure’. It was mostly used by older Qi Refinement cultivators.
Try imagining a white-haired, youthful-looking old immortal arriving on a cloud and saying a few words to his disciple before nodding with a smile.
“Okay!” “Yes!” “Sure!” “Alright!” “Just do
it!”
Wouldn’t that seem too out-of-character?
If that old immortal flung his horsetail whisk and calmly said the word ‘good’, it would make it difficult for others to understand him. At the same time, his temperament would be even more mysterious.
However, Li Changshou did not like to say the word ‘good’. When he picked the Dao Fruit of Longevity and lived a long life, he would probably say something like ‘steady’ when he talked to his juniors when he was old.
“Steady.”
He will then talk about serious matters.
Jiu Wu and Li Changshou who had disguised himself as Qi Yuan, brought the manager of the brothel who might actually be a six-tailed fox and who had never woken up, to hide at the edge of the East Ocean.
They were also worried that experts from the demon race would come to seek revenge, so they kept changing their hiding places. Killing living beings with merit would naturally attract negative karma.
However, that demoness had done evil in the secular world. If they did not kill her, it would contradict the principles of the Immortal Du Sect.
Jiu Wu and “Qi Yuan” were also discussing. If they could not do it, they would bring the female vixen back to the Immortal Du Sect to be imprisoned. They would kill her after her power of merit dissipated.
Before that, they had to interrogate her and find out what kind of good deeds she had done…
Half a month later…
“Senior Brother Jiu Wu, how much incapacitating agent have you drugged her with?”
“Not much. An entire pill bestowed by Elder Wan…”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
The manager of the brothel was only at the mid-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm. Naturally, she could not withstand such strong medicinal effects.
The matter in Lindong City had been resolved in advance. Li Changshou did not want to wait there any longer, so he secretly used some “antidote”.
Three days later, the charming demoness finally woke up.
She woke up at dusk on the edge of a deserted island, bound by the immortal rope. Her demonic powers could not be used… Li Changshou immediately sensed that the demoness had woken up and wanted to remind Jiu Wu. However, he could not say anything as he was using his master’s ident.i.ty.
The female manager was not simple either. When she woke up, she did not do anything unusual. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep while secretly using her immortal senses to observe the two Daoists.
An hour later, the rainbow b.u.t.terfly mark on her forehead flashed gently. A wisp of dark fragrance silently spread on her body and diffused.
Soon, she made a sound and her long eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes…
Jiu Wu and “Qi Yuan”, who were meditating in the ocean, opened their eyes simultaneously.
“Hmph, you’re finally awake!”
Jiu Wu immediately stood up and swept his sleeves. He held the immortal-grade sword while it was in its sheath and turned around to interrogate the demoness.
However… just as Jiu Wu turned around, he saw a dim light under the tree. The demoness trapped by the immortal rope was actually that… graceful, sultry and charming.
Her face looked somewhat similar to his beloved senior sister. Her figure was actually so charming…
Jiu Wu put down the sword in his hand and stopped in his tracks. He stared straight ahead and his breathing began to quicken.
“Qi Yuan”, who was standing at the side, reacted in the same way. Moreover, his breathing rate was even higher than Jiu Wu’s.
However, Li Changshou had deliberately made the paper effigy behave that way.
What a powerful charming ability!
The paper effigy pretending to be his master was just a paper effigy that had a portion of the power of his Essence Soul.
After the demoness secretly used her mystical ability, Li Changshou could sense that his mental state had changed slightly…
He silently chanted the Heart-Calming Incantation, and his heart suddenly felt empty.
That was the first time Li Changshou had encountered such a mystical ability. He was also using the paper effigy to observe carefully.
That mystical ability was called an Enchantment Spell. When the ancient demons flourished, some demons would specially cultivate that technique. They would use it to trap the experts of the demon race and find a backing for themselves.
At that moment, the demoness was not just casting a simple Enchantment Spell. She was also displaying her charm. Her posture, expression, gaze, and even the degree of her lips opening and closing were clearly complementing her charm.
Very quickly, Li Changshou realized that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu could not take it anymore…
The short Daoist took a small step forward…
If Uncle-Master Jiu Wu got controlled by the other party’s Enchantment Spell, things would get a little troublesome.
Hence…
Crack!
A portrait suddenly slipped from “Qi Yuan’s” sleeve and hit the beach. Then, it opened a little.
“Qi Yuan” lowered his head and looked confused.
He muttered, “Isn’t this… the painting Changshou gave me… Senior Brother, Senior Brother Jiu Wu?”
“Huh?” Jiu Wu’s eyes were fixed on him. Without looking back, he replied casually, “Junior Brother, what’s wrong?”
“Qi Yuan” picked up the portrait on the ground, walked to Jiu Wu’s side, and slowly opened it.
It was as if he had accidentally b.u.mped into Uncle-Master Jiu Wu’s shoulder with his elbow.
Jiu Wu lowered his head subconsciously and saw the painting that was being unveiled slowly…
At that moment, the world in Jiu Wu’s eyes was pink.
The painting was half a foot open and he could see the edges of a dress. Jiu Wu was curious as well. He wanted to look up at the beauty under the tree but he also wanted to see who the person in the painting was.
Soon after, the painting was revealed by another inch and the face of the person in the painting could be seen.
Her face was full of wrinkles, her dress was loose and baggy, her fingers were slightly bent like an orchid, and her fingertips were yellowish…
In an instant, Jiu Wu seemed to have heard a “ding” sound. The decadent voice beside his ear instantly dissipated.
The short Daoist took three steps back and held his breath. His eyes regained their clarity. He was full of energy and could not help but s.h.i.+ver.
The demoness under the tree frowned but continued to exert her force.
However… it seemed that her mystical ability was completely ineffective.
Jiu Wu’s back was covered in cold sweat. He whispered, “What… What happened just
now?”
“Qi Yuan”, who was at the side, continued to slowly open the painting. “Senior Brother, look. The technique used in this painting is quite amazing.”
“I…”
Jiu Wu lowered his head and looked at the painting that had already been half-revealed. The “beauties” on it had all kinds of postures, and there were no longer any ripples in his heart.
Jiu Wu frowned. “Junior Brother, what is this?”
“Ah, this is a gift from Changshou.” “Qi Yuan” smiled bitterly. “I don’t know why it dropped out just now.
Changshou is teasing me. He said that I’m old, so he gave me this strange painting of beauties.”
“Fortunately, we have this!”
Jiu Wu squinted and looked at the demoness under the tree.
With a clang, Jiu Wu pulled out his immortal sword. He gritted his teeth and cursed, “How dare you use your Enchantment Spell to deceive us! You are courting death!”
Under the tree, the manager of the brothel frowned. However, she smiled delicately and revealed a pitiful look. Her phoenix-like eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like an orchid that was blooming in the wind…
The old Daoist priest by the side carried the painting and leaned over.
“Senior Brother, look at this person. Changshou drew quite well.”
Jiu Wu lowered his head and took a glance. It was as if the old woman in the painting had come to life and winked at him gently.
The short Daoist priest shuddered again.
He then looked at the demoness under the tree. Just now, he had thought that she resembled an orchid blooming alone in the wind but now, he instantly felt that… there was nothing but Setaria everywhere!
Jiu Wu raised his hand and threw his sword at the manager of the brothel. The sharp sword brushed past her ear and pierced into the tree.
This time, the manager of the brothel was completely shocked.
She stared at the painting in the old Daoist priest’s hand. Naturally, she could not see the contents of the painting.
However, she was certain that it was that very painting that made the two of them instantly escape the effects of the Enchantment Spell that she had cast with all her strength!
What Dharma treasure is that?
Jiu Wu immediately threw out dozens of Dao talismans. Without any effort, he completely suppressed the demonic power and spirit of the demoness who was originally bound by the immortal rope.
Jiu Wu looked at “Qi Yuan” and asked, “Junior Brother Qi Yuan, what is this thing?”
“It’s just a painting,” Qi Yuan replied and slowly stowed away the painting.
The “Aged Beauties” painting was a necessary item for Qi Refinement cultivators who wanted to cultivate their Dao,calm their hearts and resist Enchantment Spells!
“Let me take a few more glances.” “Well… Alright. This item is good but please don’t look at it too much, Senior Brother. After all, you have a Dao companion.”
Jiu Wu smiled and said calmly,
“Don’t worry. It won’t be a problem.
Disciple-Nephew Changshou’s painting skills are really not bad. Time will take its toll on all beauties and they will eventually turn into nothing but skeletons and ashes. It’s better to live a carefree life.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Isn’t this effect a little too good?
Later on, I shall give Uncle-Master some Poisonous Dragon Wine. After all, if he were to become a s.e.xually impotent Daoist, I would end up forming karma with Aunt-Master Jiu s.h.i.+.
Half a day later, Jiu Wu and Li Changshou’s paper effigy rode a cloud towards the East Continent.
The two of them did not directly kill the demoness. They had already inquired about her origins. After her Enchantment Spell became ineffective, she did not put up much resistance and instead straightforwardly told them about her origins.
Simply put, the vixen was fearless. She was certain that the two of them would not kill her who had merit to protect her.
Just like how there were both good and evil humans, there were good and evil demons as well.
This Six-Tailed Vixen had been cultivating for more than six thousand years. She had only been a manager of a brothel, earned some money and kept the little demons under control. She had never directly absorbed mortal Yang energy.
However, she did not do any kind deeds.
The merit she had was pa.s.sed down from her ancestors. Her ancestors had secretly saved many humans during the Great Magi-Demon War back then. After the human race prospered, they gave her a small amount of merit.
It was not easy for the two of them to deal with demons who had merit on their bodies and had ancestors who had contributed to the human race. Therefore, they brought the demoness back to the sect to be punished.
“Junior Brother,” Jiu Wu said, “Can you lend me your Aged Beauties painting? I’m afraid that the elders in the sect will be charmed by her. Although it won’t be a big deal, it’ll still make them look bad.”
Li Changshou hesitated for a moment before handing the painting over. It was originally an ordinary painting. It was just that the concept was a little ingenious. It was not a big deal.
Besides, he… had many other items that were similar.
