My Senior Brother Is Too Steady
Chapter 23: Senior Brother Has Planned

Li Changshou looked at the thirteen almost empty Dharma storage artifacts in front of him, as black lines appeared on his forehead. He started muttering to himself in a low voice, as if a terrible storm was brewing, “My Junior Sister is a spender! He fought the shrimp demon, who had as much fighting skills as an ordinary human. However, he used more than 80% of the poisonous powder I prepared for him.. This amount is enough to kill 100,000 strong mortal soldiers!”.

Lan Ling’e knelt on the mattress in front of her, two streams of tears streaming down her cheeks. He tried to look as pathetic as possible so that he could escape the fair punishment of his elder brother.

The corner of Li Changshou's mouth twitched as she picked up the wallet and asked, “Did you kill the big demons in the Eastern Ocean?”

“Yeah, Senior Brother said to use this if I face danger.The shrimp demon almost killed me! I poured the powder unconsciously! ”

Li Changshou's expression darkened. “I remember preparing these nine bottles for you.”

“I almost got killed several times ..”

Lan Ling’e pursed her lips and continued to cry. Angrily, he whined, “Senior sister, don't get mad. I know that you are trying hard to produce these things. I accidentally wasted it.”

Li Changshou was unable to find himself to blow up his little sister while she looked like that. He sighed and said, “Usaha is a small thing, but the material is hard to find. Few people in the Eternal Du Sect knew how to manufacture poisonous pills. I used my own monthly allowance to exchange these materials little by little. ”

“Senior sister, I also thought of this.”

Lan Ling’e blinked, then patted the corset wrapped around her slender waist. Then, he took out seven or eight simple Dharma storage artifacts.

“That's why I exchanged the rewards I obtained this time with the poisonous potions and medicines I found in the sect! We didn't suffer any losses this time. I think we even made a profit! ”

Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry. He observed Lan Ling’e's widened eyes, which looked like two clear gems. There's a little avoidance.

‘This girl ..’

“What else do you have to account for? Tell me everything when my mood is still good enough.”

Lan Ling’e took a deep breath and suddenly raised her hand. With all her might, she bent down, lowered her head, and banged her palms and forehead against the ground at the same time. Her long hair fell on both sides of her face.

He prostrated himself to admit his mistake!

Lan Ling’e closed her eyes tightly and gathered her courage to shout,

“Senior Brother! Ling’e are you wrong! Two Uncle-Masters became interested in the poisonous powder you produced. They took out some of my most powerful poison bottles! I really don't know how to turn it down. Senior Brother, I accidentally exposed the fact that you are very skilled in producing poison! ”

The house became so quiet that one could hear the pin drop.

Lan Ling’e's shoulders continued to tremble.

He was not afraid of being scolded by his older brother. In fact, he wanted his elder brother to beat him to release his frustration.

Her brother had taught her everything she knew. He understands the principle. That's why he's so nervous. Lan Ling’e was worried she would ‘leave her’ and did not want anything to do with her in the future.

‘Why.... it's quiet…? I'm done for, I'm done for. Senior Brother is really disappointed in me this time! Lan Ling’e, Lan Ling’e. How do you lose control of yourself when you step outside? You even neglect to take care of yourself and end up showing off in front of others. Now, the other elders in the sect are watching you.’.

All over the world, Lan Ling’e probably best understood the character of her elder brother.

Li Changshou could hide 90% of his skills as his trump card. In every way, he prioritized being a humble person. He will never cause unnecessary karma.

Lan Ling’e was probably the only person who was cared for and loved by her elder brother, and that was only because they had the same master. Otherwise, his elder brother would probably never have glanced at him a second time!

Lan Ling’e sobbed as she said, “Senior sister, you can hit me if you want, but please don't leave me. I will never show off in front of others again!”

Lan Ling’e caught a glimpse of the hand that was outstretched towards her, and instinctively closed her eyes.

Ever since Lan Ling’e joined the sect, she had never experienced any physical punishment. Was the first time he would be a good blow from his senior brother?

It's a good thing if he's going to hit her. At the very least, his elder brother could use such a method of punishment on him.

The hand, which carried countless worries, finally landed. However, it did not hit him. Instead, it makes a bend and pinches his ear, then turns left and right.

“Aduh, Senior Sister, soft. Sick... My ears are dislodged...”.

“Stop using this tone with me. If Master hears you, he might think I did something else.”

Li Changshou let go of her small ears and said without further ado, “Wake up. That's not a big deal.”

Lan Ling’e immediately sat up straight and stood up. This movement revealed quite a number of his slender figure.

Frustrated, he looked at his elder brother and asked gently, “Senior sister, you didn't hide your skills? Will you be dealing with the sect?”

“A face-to-face? What face to face?”

Once again, Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Do you think I don't know you well?

“Because I gave you a poisonous powder to protect yourself, I'm ready for you to do something like that. Actually, I deliberately allowed you to reveal this poison. I also have other important considerations.

“Come and sit.

“Is Senior Wan Linyun from Pill Tripod Peak among the two elders who took poison from you?

“Senior has a disease in his left leg, so he walks with a copper stick. He also looks very cold. However, when she talks to others, she tends to smile stiffly.”

‘Involuntarily allow me to reveal? Other important considerations?’

Lan Ling’e. “Senior sister, how do you know? That was the elder. Didn't you just come back last night? The one who first asked for the poisonous powder was Elder Ge, the organizer of the Main Meeting. Two days ago, at noon, the old man with the cane came. He gave me a lot of herbs and took them. Senior Sister!”

Lan Ling’e reacted quickly and turned to look at Li Changshou's deep eyes. With gritted teeth, he said, “You planned everything!”

“Why did such a thing happen between us, Junior Sister? I was just trying to protect you. The more you know, the more you feel burdened. ”

“Murids of various peaks can obtain recipes from the Outer Hall of the Silk Dao. They could also obtain herbs from Bai Fan Hall.

“Now, within the sect—and even in other immortal cultivation sects in the five continents—most people underestimate the power of poison. They think that this is an embarrassing skill. People who use poison are often ostracized and looked down upon.

“So, it's not a big deal even if people find out that I'm experienced in purifying poisons. It won't attract the attention of observers. Instead, they will think that I am an ordinary student who has gone down the wrong path.”

Li Changshou stopped in the middle of the sentence, an understanding smile spreading across her face.

“Moreover, the poisonous powder I gave you contained some strange poison, mentioned in the Poison Sutra I copied from the Dao Sutra Pavilion. The author of the Poison Sutra was this Elder Wan Linyun. I think he is the elder with the deepest understanding of poison in our Eternal Du Sect. If I can build a relationship with this elder through this meeting, perhaps I will be able to obtain guidance from him in this regard. ”

“Senior Brother!” Lan Ling’e whined furiously. “Do you have to use me in your plans?! If this is the case, can't you tell me beforehand? You made use of your gentle and adorable Junior Sister. You really ... too much ..”

Li Changshou glanced at him to the side and said, “Don't change the subject. We're talking about you wasting poisonous pills. I've got to make you suffer for it so you'll remember this lesson. I'll punish you by making you do the logging on the back mountain tomorrow to reclaim that land. You are also not allowed to use your Dharma power.”

“Be that. It was no big deal,” Lan Ling’e replied as she lowered her gaze— a submission was written all over her face.

Finally, he could not hold it any longer and asked, “What are we reclaiming that land for?”

“We will build a Pill Chamber to purify pills and poisons. Through you, I allow the Sect Management to know that I am good at purifying poison. After this, I will be able to naturally and systematically tinker with more pills and poisons at our Little Qiong Peak. I don't need to do all this by hiding anymore.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Changshou stood up and took out all the medicinal sachets. Then, he stretched and said, “After I finish meditating during the day, I will find a suitable position to build the Pill Room.”

“Senior sister, you are obviously trying to slack off. How could you ask your gentle Junior Sister to come in ?! ”

Lan Ling’e made a face behind Li Changshou as she whined.

“This is for you, gentle cultivator.”

When Li Changshou reached the door, she suddenly recalled something. He took out a jade box from his sleeve and threw it at his junior sister.

“Gift?”

Lan Ling’e immediately forgot her frustration and caught the jade box excitedly.

He was just about to open it when he suddenly realized something. Using his Dharmic power to hold his box, he sent it ten feet away before opening it from afar.

A subtle aroma entered his nose. There was a white flower with six petals lying on the jade box.

‘It's jamu. I think it's jewelry or something.’

Lan Ling’e was just about to curse her elder brother but found out that he had left the room. All that was left was his slightly tired and hoarse voice, saying, “Other times, before you take a bath, put this in warm water. This will expand your meridians, detoxify and nourish your face, and make your skin glow. See you tomorrow.”

“Alright, thank you, Senior Brother. See you tomorrow.”

Huh…

Lan Ling’e heaved a sigh of relief and slumped into her chair. Then, he smiled excitedly.

He got through it safely!

His senior brother still spoiled him. At first, Lan Ling’e thought that she would receive such a harsh outfit after disposing of so many poisonous powders. He did not expect that his elder brother would just pinch his ear.

However, it seemed like his elder brother had planned everything for the Main Meeting, down to his small details.

Lan Ling’e was unhappy with it—she couldn't help feeling that her older brother still didn't believe her.

‘Forget it, that's what Senior Sister is like.’

He always burned his cut hair until there was no dust left, and used poison to melt his cut nails until they completely melted. Even after his junior sister got drunk on purpose, he would use the Immortal Trap Key to tie her to the bed before tucking her in.

‘Eh, it looks like I revealed it too much.’ Lan Ling’e blushed. ‘I accidentally got drunk last year!’

…

After returning to his own rapids hut, Li Changshou meditated by his bedside. In his mind, he began to plan to build the Pill Chamber.

Before this, he had used an herbal tripod, which he always carried. However, it was not enough to meet his needs. Moreover, in order to produce a stronger pill like the Eternal Smelting Pill, he needed a tripod of larger potions and of better quality.

First, he had to build a Pill Chamber. Then, he would go to Bai Fan Hall to seek the help of his familiar martial uncle and aunt.

He could have wanted a better tripod, but he couldn't have expected it. It all depends on his luck.

It would be best if he could find a tripod of old herbs that were worn out. He would try to save her and see if she could work a miracle. In fact, Li Changshou had already thought about the Pill Room for 30 to 40 years now. He just hesitated.

Mediocre is the best disguise.

From the isolation row formation, which surrounded where he lived with his master, to the array formation outside the straw hut of his sister and younger sister, and the mountains, water, and trees around Little Qiong Peak, the, everything seems ordinary. There's nothing special to talk about.

While building this Pill Room, Li Changshou had to make arrangements both inside and outside to prevent others from finding his ‘’ little technique while refining pills and poisons.

From the very beginning of his cultivation journey, Li Changshou understood that a deliberate disguise would not hide his true progress from experts. On the contrary, they might attract special attention.—observed by these experts is not necessarily a good thing.

On the other hand, not being noticed by them would ensure that nothing unexpected bad would happen to Li Changshou, or at the very least, the chances of it happening were extremely slim.

“Pill Chamber should not be too close to our accommodation. If a poisonous aura leaked ..” Li Changshou muttered to himself in a low voice and took out the Dharma storage artifact, which he used exclusively to store books. From inside, he took out a thick pile of sheepskin.

There were array formations and structural blueprints drawn on each sheepskin. There are also signs of many modifications being made to each image. The ink on the skin of the oldest sheep among them seemed to fade.
