My Senior Brother Is Too Steady
Chapter 22: First Plans for ‘Helping Teacher Withstand Tribulation’
Qi Yuan drank until midnight before he returned to Little Qiong Peak.
It had been seven or eight years since Li Changshou had last seen his master look this happy. As he walked, he hummed a melody that Li Changshou had never heard before.
When he passed Li Changshou at the door, Qi Yuan shouted, “Changshou? Are you cultivating? ”
“Master, your student is resting. I calm my heart and mind today and prepare to cultivate tomorrow, ” replied Li Changshou, who sat on the straw bed with her eyes closed. He was just about to stand up and open the door for his master when he heard the latter laughing.
“Rest, break. I will return to exile. You did well this time. You used an escape technique to save his Martial Niece Youqin Xuan from Heaven-Breaking Peak. You really glorified our Little Qiong Peak this time around. However, you should not be too proud of yourself. You should make cultivation your priority. Don't spend more time and effort than ever before on your escape technique. Your own Dao Realm should be the point! ”
“Muridmu understands,” replied Li Changshou from inside the house.
Qi Yuan smiled as he stroked his beard, and said, “Mm, keep working hard to strengthen your cultivation level. You can't act hastily while cultivating. You have to keep going, step by step. That's the only way you'll be able to get past the big hurdles. Go ahead and rest. Your master will isolate himself. Ling’e became a haggard for worrying about you for the past few days. Remember to cheer him up later.”
“Ya,” replied Li Changshou in a warm tone.
Qi Yuan laughed and then continued to hum as he walked to his own rapids hut. After he entered, he activated several arrays around his house.
One needed silence while cultivating in seclusion. Noise-cancelling type arrays and alert type arrays are required.
Li Changshou looked at the jade box in the Dharma artifact storage, and then heaved a sigh of relief. He would prepare for a few more days before starting to build the Pill Chamber, which he had dreamed of for a long time. Eventually, he would be able to refine the Eternal Smelting Pill.
If he could refine the Eternal Smelting Pill successfully, and persuade his master to use this pill the moment he experienced the Heavenly Tribulation, there would be a 90% chance that his master would survive.
For a postnatal living being who wished to live a long life, becoming immortal through Heavenly Tribulation was an unavoidable suffering.
After the Heavenly Lightning attacked, decisions would be made on their life or death.
Since ancient times, no one dared to say with full confidence that they would be able to pass through the Heavenly Tribulation alive.
Since he had been injured before, Dao Qi Yuan's base was compromised, and his own cultivation level was unstable. His soul power was also about half that of an ordinary cultivator at the Ninth Stage of Dao Retaliation.
If Li Changshou did not find another way to help him, his master would definitely die during the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, Qi Yuan insisted on withstanding the Heavenly Tribulation to become immortal.
Qi Yuan was not only the Master of Li Changshou and Lan Ling’e, but he was also the Peak Leader of Little Qiong Peak. He was the only Peak Leader in the Eternal Du Sect, who had yet to ascend to immortality. The other senior Peak Leaders would never tell Little Qiong Peak about the decisions they made.
In comparison, Aunt Jiu Jiu, who had joined the Immortal Du Sect several years after Qi Yuan, was already a Perfect Immortal. Unfortunately, Qi Yuan was far behind him.
Before ascending to immortality, human cultivators had to be younger than 3,000 years old. This is the Dao limit. Qi Yuan actually had hundreds, maybe even more than 1,000, years left.
However, Li Changshou knew that his master did not want to suppress his cultivation level again — let alone his master wanting to wait until he ran out of time before he bet and tried to ascend to immortality.
Sometimes, Li Changshou even felt that his Master was hoping to die in the Heavenly Tribulation. Perhaps he wanted to endure the Heavenly Tribulation in the hope of this death, in the hope that he could survive!
Maybe all this sounds noble and enthusiastic. However, to Li Changshou, his master's mindset was stubborn and ridiculous.
That was why Li Changshou started to prepare 15 years ago…
That was the reason Li Changshou decided to act contrary to his principles for the first time, by leaving the safety of his own mountain and going to the Northern Continent. When he found the Eternal Liberation Potion, he also decided to take the plunge and plot against the Three-Eyed Blue Wave Snake, Yuwen Ling, and the others.
The crux of Li Changshou's first plan for ‘Help Master Surviving in Tribulation’ involves refining the Eternal Melting Pill from the Eternal Liberation Herbal.
When the time came for his master to endure the Heavenly Tribulation, Qi Yuan only needed to go through the first tribulation to develop a wisp of immortal spiritual aura. Then, he would be able to swallow the Immortal Liquefaction Pill. The pill will allow him to pretend to be dead and activate ‘Deliverance by Execution’. Then, he could avoid enduring the next tribulation.
If immortal beings failed to endure the Heavenly Tribulation, they could go through Liberation by Execution and become a Murky God.
The Cloudy God could not compare to the Essence God in terms of cultivation and mystical abilities. However, they have the same life span. They can also continue cultivating.
According to the classical texts, the highest cultivation level that the Murky God could reach was the Perfect Immortal Realm. This route was often referred to as the Earth Immortal Dao, in contrast to the Heaven Immortal Dao.
As part of this first plan, Li Changshou had even managed to map out the final years of his master's life.
Qi Yuan would become an Earth Immortal and accumulate hundreds of years of cultivation. Then, he would go to the Heavenly Court, which had just been established and lacked manpower. There, he would get an easy role as an Earth God from a small region, a Mountain God, or a River God. All he had to do was enjoy the fragrant offerings and enjoy the lifespan as long as an ordinary Perfect God.
If Qi Yuan managed to achieve something that would reward him from the Heavenly Court, he might even be able to live as long as a Heavenly God.
At the same time, Qi Yuan could establish a network in the Heavenly Court. Once Li Changshou and his junior sister were ready, they could go to the Heavenly Court and apply for easy roles as well. In the future, they could become elders of the Three Realms Management Organization. Then, they would enjoy an easy life until they died of old age.
That's the perfect plan.
“Purifying this pill will not be considered complicated. If I could obtain Perfect Immortality like Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu to help me, and if I could prepare more ingredients, I would be able to produce them. However..”
Master Li Changshou was a model cultivator in the sect. He was the type who would rather suffer and die than lose his reputation. Persuading him to use such a method to survive would probably be much more difficult than finding the Eternal Liberation Potion.
However, as his disciple, Li Changshou had to endure this karma. This was a responsibility he could not avoid.
If this doesn't work, he has to cheat and lie. He had no choice but to wrap the Eternal Melting Pill with candy and tell his master that it was a soul-saving immortal pill.
Just thinking about it already made Li Changshou smile.
The birds and bees shouted outside his window as he began to think about his own experiences during this trip. He pondered the area where he had failed.
Li Changshou was not good enough when he dealt with the Immortal Essence. He was not quick enough to clean up either.
He could fix the Human-forming Paper Cut. The clones he produced still did not look 100% realistic.
Li Changshou was also slow in transition between the escape techniques of the Five Elements. When he entered the roots of the old fir tree, there were waves on the ground.
As for his own Heavenly Tribulation, Li Changshou was in no hurry. As long as he was not 99% sure that he would survive the tribulation, Li Changshou would not take that step.
The remaining 1% chance was left if there was a seizure in the Heavenly Dao.
dong!
A stone hit the wooden wall of his rapids hut. Li Changshou flicked his finger to count and realized that it was past five in the morning.
He got up and walked out of the thatched hut, towards the house where his sister lived.
…
In the ten years since her younger sister joined the sect, Lan Ling’e had received lessons, cosmetology lessons, and life guidance from 03:00 to 05:00 a.m.
When Li Changshou arrived in front of her rapids hut, she knocked on the door gently, causing it to open a little by itself. Then, he pushed her and entered.
A pink curtain flew towards him. Even the carpet under his feet became pink.
Through the translucent screen, he saw a familiar figure lying on the bed, facing inward. Her thin dress made Li Changshou see a beautiful sight.
Obstructed views, however, are the most forgiving — it prevents one from developing dirty thoughts.
Li Changshou did not glance at him a second time. He sat in the host's chair and said indifferently, “Stop pretending to sleep. You usually do not sleep in such a graceful position. ”
He heard a whimper coming from behind the scenes. “Senior Brother, I just learned how to produce Soft Immortal Disperser. Now, I feel quite dizzy and dizzy. I can't do anything else. My body is weak, and I have no energy.”
Li Changshou nodded. He stood up and said, “Then, we'll talk tomorrow. It's not a big deal anyway.”
Lan Ling’e immediately shouted, “No!” Then, angrily, he said, “Sit down! I'm out now! Hmph. You better explain clearly why you came back so late! ”
There was a lot of commotion before Lan Ling’e finally came out from behind the scenes in a long dress. He sat on the left side of the table and looked at Li Changshou angrily.
Li Changshou smiled helplessly and said, “Actually, we had an accident. Do you know Yuan Qing from Heaven-Breaking Peak?”
“Ya,” replied Lan Ling’e. He blinked and said, “He is a disciple of the Heaven-Breaking Peak who went to the Northern Continent with you. He is second in our generation. It says he's pretty gentle. ”
“Remember: Men are just being gentle. He plotted against his Old Youqin this time, and his Old Youqin killed him.”
Li Changshou shook his head and arranged the image that appeared in his memory.
“Everything he does is an example of losing the big picture for the sake of small gains. He gave up his own identity as a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, and insisted on gaining the temporal power of an earthly kingdom.”
Lan Ling’e propped up her chin with her hands and leaned forward on the table. Gently, he said, “Senior sister, what happened?”
Li Changshou slowly explained, “Youqin Her elder is the Sixth Princess of a country in the Southern Continent. Yuan Qing was the son of a concubine, belonging to a distinguished family. He was called the Fourth Young Master.
“Mother Yuan Qing may have been a concubine, but she was a strong person. She was the young mistress of another respectable family and had her own strength.
“These people set their sights on the Sixth Princess, who had been sent as a disciple to the Eternal Du Sect.
“If Yuan Qing were to marry the Sixth Princess, not only would he be the prince of that earthly country, but he would also be able to hold more power in his own home. At the same time, there would be a possibility of him ruling the entire country in the future. That was why they put out so much effort and made sure Yuan Qing entered the Eternal Du Sect as well.
“However, Yuan Qing was not very successful. Even after 60 years, he failed to win the heart of the beautiful. The people who supported him became worried. Finally, they decided that they could not wait any longer. They decided to take this risk..”.
Li Changshou briefly explained everything that happened to his younger sister.
“Now, not only have these people failed, they have also suffered huge losses. Both families will be involved. Their Country Master might have to uproot them all to appease the Eternal Du Sect. ”
Seeing Lan Ling’e thinking hard, Li Changshou said warmly, Little “E, what did you learn from this story?”
“Hmm..”
Lan Ling’e hummed in a low voice. Then, she firmly said, “Women cannot be concubines! Otherwise, we would have to expend a lot of effort to gain a bit of strength! ”
“Cough!”
Li Changshou could not help but put his forehead in his hands. “What else?”
“This Yuan Qing plan is very bad. Moreover, the influential members of this esteemed family greatly underestimated the strength of the Eternal Du Sect and the value of its disciples.”
Lan Ling’e started her analysis very seriously. “I think they should be working to beat Youqin Xuanya. They should have tolerated their desires for several thousand years until Yuan Qing became an Immortal Heaven. Then, he could secretly become the king of an earthly country. Using his strength, he could amass the wealth of his people and donate it to the Immortal Du Sect. It would increase his status and importance in the sect. That way, he would succeed in terms of his immortal cultivation and earthly pursuits! Wanting to rise to power as the husband of a princess will fantasize. These kings have no shortage of sons.”
Li Changshou was speechless.

“Forget. Let's think of this as music in the ear. You also come from an honorable earthly family. I'd like to remind you to be careful. ”
“Hehe.” Lan Ling’e giggled. “Don't worry, Senior Brother. Ling’e will not go anywhere without you.”
Li Changshou could not help but shake his head and laugh. “Give me your medicine sachet. I'll fill it up for you. You must have used quite a lot this time. ”
Lan Ling’e immediately looked guilty. He slowly sat up straight and crossed his long, slender legs. She placed both her hands on her knees and shifted her beautiful gaze. She acts—compliant, cute, and distracted.
‘Come. I did not waste the poisonous powder and pills that Senior Brother gave me this time ..’
