My Senior Brother Is Too Steady
Chapter 33: Your Uncles Are Not Evil People
Ta*k long after the Heavenly Tribulation ended, Qi Yuan went through a long, complicated journey in his heart.
At first, he thought, ‘Heh, I was released by execution under the Heavenly Tribulation and became a Murky Immortal …
‘And this happens in front of everyone. I resolutely ate the immortal pill that helped me use Liberation by Execution and used it to avoid misery …
‘Hehehe, from now on, I can't raise my head outside the sect anymore.’
Immediately after, Qi Yuan recalled the scene when his own disciple knelt before him and handed this immortal pill to him.
‘Forget. Changshou had good intentions.
‘As his master, I keep thinking about the ideals of death in Heavenly Tribulation. I ignored the efforts of my own students to make sure I was safe.
‘It definitely wasn't easy for him to get these pills. Changshou had endured so much for this. He had just broken through to the Void Return Realm in the Northern Continent. How can I waste my effort?
‘So what if I'm an Abadi Murky?
‘The path in front is unsealed. I will be much stronger than if I were an Immortal Ghost, or if my soul was destroyed. I will be able to protect both of my disciples, as well. Enough.’
That was why Qi Yuan gave the Dao salute to Li Changshou.
Once again, a figure appeared from various places to congratulate Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan was stunned at first. Then, he cupped his hands together and greeted them one by one, meeting old friends whom he had not seen for a long time.
‘The Cloudy God is also eternal. I can live and enjoy tens of thousands of years. I can work hard to become a Perfect Immortal and receive more disciples. It will bring glory to my Little Qiong Peak!’
Qi Yuan slowly comforted himself.
At the same time, when he was surrounded by people congratulating him, Qi Yuan heard a voice transmission from his older disciple.
“Master, if someone asks you what pills you ate to use Liberation by Execution, tell them that it is the Eternal Smelting Pill.
“The recipe for making this pill can be found on the second last bookcase in the northwest corner of the Silk Dao Outer Hall. It was recorded on sheepskin.
“After that, if people ask you if you have a spare Immortal-Melting Pill, you can give a maximum of three pills. As much as possible, make sure that the people you promise are immortal beings who are reliable, close to you, and really need the Eternal Liquefaction Pill.
“It is very difficult to make these things. Moreover, it could directly poison immortal beings. One can easily get into trouble with these things. ”
Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment and then turned to face his two disciples. He subtly smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood Li Changshou's direction.
Li Changshou felt the final weight on his chest lift up. He was finally relieved and energized, and he was breathing smoothly once again. He turned to Ling’e and said, “Saudari, you wait here. If Master invites people to have tea and chat, remember to serve them well.”
Lan Ling’e quickly asked, “Senior sister, where are you going? Did you not celebrate with Master? ”
Li Changshou smiled and replied, “I will rest while waiting for Master to finish what he has to do. According to sect tradition, Immortal Ascension was a big deal. Many people will come to congratulate Master. We don't need to worry.”
“Good!” reply Lan Ling’e. “Quick, go and rest, Senior Brother. You have worked hard during this period. I'll watch Master! ”
Thus, while many immortal beings rushed towards Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou slipped away and hid in his Pill Chamber.
He did not activate the large array formation around the Pill Chamber. He had only activated an array formation within 1,000 feet of him.
He moved the rocking chair and sat in front of the Pill Chamber, looking out into the forest and the water body. His eyelids fluttered shut as he gently swayed forwards and backwards.
‘After working so hard for so long, Master finally made it through the Heavenly Tribulation.
‘After observing the Heavenly Tribulation Master, I feel more confident to go through it. I will wait for what I have gathered to be enriched. Then, I no longer need to suppress my cultivation level. I can start to risk the Heavenly Tribulation.
‘However, I cannot go through the Heavenly Tribulation within the sect. Otherwise, at least half of the trump cards that I have been hiding with great difficulty in these 100 years will be revealed.
‘However, speaking of this, Master's skill was really bad before he experienced the Heavenly Tribulation. The Immortal-Melting Pill immediately melted his body and soul.’.
Li Changshou closed his eyes and hummed the immortal melody he heard as his master turned immortal. Soon, he entered the realm of enlightenment, halfway between consciousness and unconsciousness.
He controlled his breath as his soul fused with Heaven and Earth.
A lotus flower with nine petals floated out from his chest. The lotus flower looked fresh, bright, and full of life as it held the Dao, which Li Changshou had comprehended. Everything seems mysterious yet natural—s difficult to explain in words.
This lotus flower slowly faded away with the wind. However, like a magnet, he attracted more lotus flowers from various parts of Li Changshou's body. They revolved around him, as Li Changshou's narrowed eyes reflected a feeling of peace.
Very quickly, Li Changshou regained her composure. He chased away the surrounding lotus flowers and sealed his own aura, which he almost revealed.
The Pill Chamber is not completely safe. If he wanted to cultivate, he would have to go to the secret underground chamber.
For all he knew, a powerful and skilled Eternal Heaven like the Great Wang Qing might sweep his immortality senses past Little Qiong Peak.
He lay back on the chair and rested for a while.
A white cloud suddenly floated from the lake in front of the mountain.
Li Changshou immediately opened his eyes to observe him. When he saw the short Daoist in the white clouds, he quickly deactivated the array formation around the Pill Chamber and stood up to greet him.
“Murid you greet Uncle-Master Jiu.”
Jiu Wu smiled and reprimanded. “Your master held a banquet and attended a guest, yet you hid here and laze around. Your Young Brother's slender legs will break from running!”
“Muridmu doesn't like crowds. I have no choice but to ask my skilled Junior Sister to work harder, ” replied Li Changshou, smiling. He waited for Jiu Wu to get closer to the Pill Chamber before he reactivated the dozens of array formations around them. Cupping his hands, Li Chanshou said, “Uncle-Master, please sit inside.”
“No need. I don't have time for that now. I have to go for a walk. I took the time before that to come here and tell you two things. ” Jiu Wu waved her hand, took out a jade slip from inside her sleeve, then threw it at Li Changshou.
Excitedly, Jiu Wu said, “See. Look what this is. Don't say Uncle-Master just drink your dry wine without giving ‘friends wine and bacon’ this any benefit! ”
Li Changshou was speechless.
Using his left hand, Li Changshou reached out and grabbed the jade slip. He let it float beside him as he used his spiritual awareness to analyze it.
‘Oh? Volume One Silk Inaction?’
Li Changshou felt a little surprised. He raised his chin to stare at Jiu Wu, who remained above the clouds. “Uncle-Master, is this ... appropriate?”
“Why do you ask if it is worth it?” Jiu Wu smiled. “The unwritten rule in the sect is that the top 20 disciples of each generation will be allowed to try to understand Volume One of the Inaction Sutra first. Ordinary disciples could only obtain this book after they ascended to immortality. You might be at the Sixth Stage of Void Return right now, right? You must be one of the top ten disciples in the sect. I remember you seem to have passed another stage when we last drank together. ”
‘Last time..’.
Li Changshou was also helpless. In order to avoid going through the Heavenly Tribulation unprepared, he had to suppress his cultivation level and stop himself from reaching the Ninth Stage of the Vengeance Dao.
However, a few months ago, while he was drinking with Jiu Wu, they were discussing poetry. A strange feeling suddenly swept over him, and he inadvertently gained enlightenment.
It was a good thing that he still had three small realms as a buffer. Moreover, at that moment, Jiu Wu was dazed from drinking.
He heard Jiu Wu add, “Don't worry, I didn't reveal the fact that you are at the Sixth Stage of Void Return. The Volume One Sutra of Inaction is a gift for this journey. I spent a lot of effort to talk to the Gifts Hall elder to get this first for you. That's why I brought him here early.
“What did you say? Do you want to learn it? This is the main legacy of the Dao Immortal Du Sect!”
“Ya,” replied Li Changshou, smiling as he nodded. However, he handed the jade slip back to Jiu Wu. “However, I never like getting out of the mountain. I was worried that I should reject Uncle-Master's good intentions. ”
Jiu Wu frowned and narrowed her eyes. “I didn't say anything. How do you know that you have to log out?”
“The Eastern Ocean Dragon Palace invites us to the Devil Weeping Meeting,” Li Changshou replied, his expression solemn. “News has spread within the sect. It will be hard for me to stay in the dark. Many fellows, outstanding disciples struggled to get a chance to go to the Demon-Sweeping Meet and make a name for themselves. Uncle-Master, why do you want lazy people like me to add numbers? ”
Confused, Jiu Wu asked, “Since you know that people are fighting for this opportunity, why don't you want to go?”
Li Changshou muttered softly for a few seconds and replied, “When we went to the East Sea to get rid of the demons during the last Prime Meeting, we killed some Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals who were out of line. If the Immortal Du Sect were to send disciples to the Eastern Ocean again this time, the Eastern Ocean Dragon Palace would definitely make our lives difficult. Uncle-Master, you know this. Your students really don't want to get involved in something as troublesome as this.”
“You are very observant!” Jiu Wu laughed softly as she muttered to herself above the clouds.
Suddenly, he lowered the white cloud and said in a deep worried tone, “Actually, I don't want to trouble you. However, Changshou, there are not many intelligent disciples in your generation. Even the most experienced disciple, Yuan Qing, got into trouble and was executed.
“In addition to the East Sea Dragon Palace, there are other immortal sects that are no match for our disciples. Their students might make our lives difficult there too …
“Some other elders are worried that our young disciple will not be able to accept it. They may be easily distracted by their provocative words, and cause problems that will make us joke.
“Other people in the sect also do not know that you, Li Changshou, are full of — cough schemes — they do not know that you, Martial Nephew Changshou, are hiding so much. However, I know that you are stable and reliable. You are also resourceful and assertive. That's why I was thinking of asking you to come along. When a need arises, you can guide your fellow disciples.
“More, I will lead the team personally this time. Some elders in the sect would go along as well. You will be completely safe. What the hell are you saying? Would you mind it? This is the Sutra of Inaction we are talking about. This is the real secret to longevity.”
Indeed, the Inaction Sutra teased Li Changshou, however…
“Uncle-Master, your disciple still wants to stay on the mountain and cultivate peacefully.”
The corner of Jiu Wu's lips twitched downward. He breathed and looked up at the sky. “Forget. Your Uncle-Master is not a bad person. I'm not going to force you to do something you don't want. Ai, I think we should rearrange the ranks of the disciples to fill the void.”.
Li Changshou pondered a little harder, clearly once again weighing the pros and cons carefully. Then, he nodded slowly and said in a low voice, “Murid you can show his face as a cultivator at the Second Stage of Void Return. I will also follow Uncle-Teacher's instructions and try my best to remind my fellow disciples on the way when needed. However, if they do not listen to me, I will not be able to do anything more.”
“Haha, don't worry. They have no choice but to listen to you. ” Jiu Wu threw the jade slip back to Li Changshou and said, “Take this. Understand it well. Go to the Realm of Retaliation Dao as soon as possible. ”
‘Brat, I know you won't take the bait unless I give you some benefits. The elder of the Hall of Appreciation already gave me permission to give this silk to you a year and a half ago. It is a good thing that I hold myself back and use it at the right time.’
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiu Wu pointed his clouds upwards, a slight smile on his lips. Then, he disappeared in the middle of the road.
Li Changshou studied the jade slip in his hand and thought hard.
It became even more difficult to suppress his cultivation level within these two years. Once he reached the Ninth Stage of the Vengeance Dao, he would not be able to control his progress. He now had the Inaction Sutra, and he could search for a secluded spot in the vast Eastern Ocean.
What's more, Volume One of the Inaction Sutra will be easy to understand. It was not half a deceptive book like the Nine Palms Hand to Defeat the Dragon. As long as he did not suffer a loss this time, he would consider it a victory.
…
It was dawn on the day after Qi Yuan ascended to immortality.
Lan Ling’e massaged her shoulders tiredly as she sat in front of the now empty straw hut.
The night before, his master had gone to attend a banquet at another peak with a group of Uncle and Aunt-Master whom he had never seen before. He had spent four hours after that cleaning the inside and outside of his master's hut.
“Disturbing Senior Sister. You should have come to help! ”
As soon as he muttered this complaint, Lan Ling’e looked at the huge wine gourd in the sky in her peripheral vision. Instantly, he pouted.
‘Aibi-Tuan Jiu Jiu is here to look for Senior Brother again .. There must be something wrong with them! The longest interval between Auntie-Teacher visits in years is just 20 days! Hmph! We're both female cultivators. So what if you are a Perfect Immortal? That's not true. For a Refined Immortal to become an adult so far is quite ridiculous ..’
Lan Ling’e immediately cried and sobbed in her heart.
‘Senior sister must have liked—’

“Excuse.”
A greeting suddenly sounded behind Lan Ling’e. She involuntarily jumped up, gripping the silver spikes with her hands as her skirt fluttered in the wind. Instantly, he turned to face the source of the voice.
Then, Lan Ling’e hesitated.
The one who spoke was wearing an ice blue one-shoulder dress. There was a wide bladed sword in its sheath on its back. His long hair was tied with simple ponytails and blown away by the wind. Her beautiful yet cold face looked very familiar.
“Does Senior Brother Changshou stay here**?”
