Chapter 110 - Fellow Daoist, Have You Heard…

Chapter 110 Fellow Daoist, Have You Heard…

In the white clouds of the blue sky, in front of the straw hut by the lake.

The moment Qi Yuan, who had been stopped in his tracks by his eldest disciple, landed on the ground, Li Changshou and Lan Lingle immediately rushed forward and blocked their master’s path.

This scene immediately reminded Qi Yuan of his encounter in the Pill Chamber.

The old Daoist priest subconsciously took half a step back and looked at both of his disciples solemnly…

“What are the two of you up to again?”

“Master, don’t worry. Junior Sister and I will not drug you and make you pass out this time.” Li Changshou smiled kindly and humbly.

Lan Ling’e said, “Master, this Aunt-Master has not given you any news for so many years. She suddenly sent you two letters in the past few months and even asked you to meet her. Isn’t that too… sudden?”

Qi Yuan sighed and said, “Your Aunt-Master was just angry at me for being incompetent back then.”

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Master, men cannot call themselves incompetent.”

Qi Yuan did not understand what was going on. Ling’e glanced at her senior brother and smiled meaningfully… with some shyness.

Li Changshou continued, “Master, our Aunt-Master is also from Little Qiong Peak. If she wants to see you, why won’t she come back to the sect? Back when Aunt-Master left the sect, she did not become an immortal. She went out under the pretext of looking for the grandmaster who was out traveling. However, she did not return for nearly a thousand years. According to the sect rules, it should be considered treason.”

“Master, if you go and look for this Aunt-Master, how are you going to explain to the sect? Master, if the elders in the sect ask about it, how can you answer them with a clear conscience?”

Qi Yuan frowned and pondered. He grabbed his horsetail whisk and paced back and forth on the grass patch beside the lake.

At the side, Ling’e secretly gave Li Changshou a thumbs-up. Li Changshou merely lowered his head and did not say anything.

Li Changshou knew that he would occasionally complicate issues and read too much into things.

However, it was better to consider more than not.

Moreover, there was indeed something fishy about the matter regarding his master.

Although he had just said that he would not drug his master and make him pass out, he would not be wrong to create a Bewitching Array Formation or something if he could not convince him verbally.

Just as Li Changshou was about to continue persuading his master, he heard his master

sigh.

Qi Yuan said, “That’s true. When your Aunt-Master left, the sect had already removed her name from the list of disciples.”

Qi Yuan looked at Li Changshou. Although he found it difficult to speak, he still asked, “Changshou, what do you think we should

do?”

Li Changshou used the voice transmission technique and said,

“Master, why don’t you write a letter and tell me where you are meeting her? I’ll send this letter to you using paper effigies.

Master, you’ve seen it before. It’s going to be just like how I went out to buy herbs.

No matter what, we can’t just look at this matter from our own perspective. Master, you can convince Aunt-Master to go back to the sect and admit to your mistakes.

“Although the rules in our sect are strict, the punishments are not too severe. At most, you will have to be in seclusion for a thousand years.

Master, do you think that’s true?”

Qi Yuan remained silent. He had already made up his mind.

Li Changshou then sent a voice transmission to Ling’e, telling her what to say. The two of them began to carry out their carefully premeditated conversation.

Not long after, Qi Yuan nodded and was convinced by the two of them.

The old Daoist priest hurriedly returned to his room and wrote a letter using the communication jade token. He edited it repeatedly and deliberated over his words. After four hours, he handed the communication jade token to Li Changshou solemnly.

“Don’t peek!”

“Don’t worry, Master.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “When you were writing the letter, I had already finished reading it.”

“You!”

“I’m joking. I’m just joking. Master, don’t be angry.”

“Sooner or later, the two of you will be the death of me!”

Then, Qi Yuan told him the location of the meeting place.

In the mortal world of the South Continent, there was a mortal city called ‘Lindong’ on the Coast of the East Ocean.

The agreed time to meet was two months later. The two agreed to meet at the east side of the city, after the sun set…

Li Changshou advised his master to cultivate in the house during this period of time. He also strengthened the array formation around his master’s straw hut to prevent external detection.

“Senior Brother, what do you want to do?”

Ling’e sneaked up to him and muttered under her breath. Li Changshou did not say anything else and simply told her not to wander around for the time being.

“I won’t be going to the Pill Chamber for the next two months. I’ll just cultivate in the straw hut.” Li Changshou’s gaze remained calm.

Ling’e tidied her hair and asked softly, “Then, should I send the paper effigy out of the mountain?”

“No need.” Li Changshou looked at his junior sister and smiled. “You’re quite familiar with the process. Just cultivate peacefully. When you transcend the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation and encounter such a thing again, I will let you participate more.”

“Yes! Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will work hard!”

Ling’e immediately agreed energetically.

When Li Changshou returned to his straw hut to cultivate, she snapped out of her senses and held her forehead while moaning.

If I want to be used as a Dharma treasure by Senior Brother, I will have to be an Immortal at the very least…

Little Aunt-Master, seriously!

She has warped Senior Brother’s understanding of the size, and had also raised the threshold of his requirements for being a “human Dharma treasure”!

Just as she was complaining in her heart, Ling’e suddenly heard a shout from afar.

“Little Ling’e…”

Ling’e looked up and saw a black shadow pouncing at her.

She grabbed the two jade bottles subconsciously. However, she suddenly remembered that her senior brother was beside her. No one would be able to ambush Little Qiong Peak…

as

In a split second, Lingle looked up again.

There was no need to take a look at that person’s face at all. Just by looking at her heinous sins, she could tell that it was her Little Aunt-Master, whom she was complaining about in her heart, who had arrived!

With a soft heave, Ling’e put away the jade bottle and was hit in the chest. Jiu Jiu picked her up and spun a few rounds on the spot. The two of them laughed and joked in front of the straw hut.

“Uncle-Master, you’re making me feel so uncomfortable…”

“Hahahaha, feel my love for you! Little Ling’e!”

“Uncle-Master, I was wrong. Hahaha! Don’t tickle me… I was wrong…”

Li Changshou smiled when he saw that.

However, deep down, he was also worried about Ling’e’s cultivation.

She had been fooling around with Jiu Jiu every day, and her cultivation had inevitably been delayed. He had to remind her about that.

Not long after, Ling’e, who could not withstand her Little Aunt-Master’s attack, could only pass the buck and call for Senior Brother to save her…

Jiu Jiu’s eyes lit up. “Eh? Your senior brother is out of seclusion?

Call him over to play Fight the Great God! I haven’t seen him in half a year!”

Li Changshou shook his head helplessly and walked out of the straw hut.

The meditation cushion wasn’t warm yet.

Ling’e’s straw hut soon became lively.

Li Changshou took out two jars of fine wine. Ling’e took out the snacks that she had made for her Aunt-Master previously. The three of them held onto the cards that Li Changshou had made and started battling.

“A pair of Perfected Immortals!”

“Hmph! A pair of Heaven Immortals!”

“We are Little Immortals in this match. Senior Brother is a Great God! Aunt-Master, why are you suppressing me!?!” “Uh… I was tempted, I was tempted.”

“I think you should just admit defeat.” Li Changshou shook his head calmly. “The two Golden Immortal cards are in my hands. Do you think you can make a comeback?”

Ling’e immediately snorted. “Nonsense. The little Golden Immortal Card was clearly with me… Oh no, I was tricked!”

Jiu Jiu hugged her feet and laughed out loud. She almost flipped while laughing. “How dare you mock me…”

At that moment, an old Daoist priest walked over leisurely. It was Qi Yuan.

“Master!”

“Senior Brother Qi Yuan!”

The three of them were about to stand up when “Qi Yuan” raised his hand to indicate that they did not need to stand up. “You guys can have fun. Changshou, Ling’e, accompany Junior Sister Jiu Jiu. I have to go out, I have something to do.” Lan Ling’e blinked. Li Changshou stood up and bowed.

“Qi Yuan” waved his hand and smiled as he rode a cloud and flew towards the gate.

As if recalling something, Lan Ling’e winked at Li Changshou. Li Changshou smiled and told them to continue playing cards.

Jiu Jiu was immediately delighted. “Did you hear that? Your master told you to accompany me! Quick, serve me some good wine and dishes. Let me win when we play cards!”

Li Changshou and Ling’e chuckled as they continued playing with Jiu Jiu.

Li Changshou was multitasking at this moment, but it did not affect his consecutive victories.

The old Daoist Qi Yuan who came in just now was naturally a paper effigy whom Li Changshou disguised as Qi Yuan. He had also been given the green light by his master.

Due to the fact that he had controlled multiple paper effigies simultaneously previously, it was no longer a burden for him to multitask.

While the main body was playing cards with Little Aunt-Master, the paper effigy had already made it out of the sect easily. It rode a cloud towards the south…

After a while, Li Changshou took a look at the Sensing Stone that the paper effigy which was in the form of his master had brought with him. The sensing stone was shimmering.

A wisp of immortal senses continued to probe the paper effigy. Li Changshou maintained his composure and continued flying towards the south. The paper effigy’s expression immediately turned complicated. There were some anxiety, amazement, and some timidness on his face which seemed to show that he was afraid to see him. It looked more like Qi Yuan than Qi Yuan himself…

The immortal senses chased for more than 200 kilometers before gradually weakening.

Although he did not know who was secretly investigating, he reckoned that based on that situation, the other party’s cultivation level was probably at the mid-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm.

It was a confirmation of his previous guess.

However, it was just a guess. Li Changshou would not make any judgment based on it. The information he knew was too little.

It was actually very difficult to simulate his master’s Turbid Immortal Qi. The hardest part was the Turbid Qi.

Li Changshou had also thought of an “indecent idea”. He grabbed his master’s horsetail whisk, which was often used to punish disciples, and restrained most of the paper effigy’s aura to make it seem like the real deal.

When Li Changshou was about to return, he helped his master replace the horsetail whisk with one that had softer “fur”…

After traveling more than 500 kilometers from Mount Li, he took the path to the Southern Continent.

The free, frolicking birds in the sky are laughing at my troubles.

The paper effigy, which had disguised himself as Qi Yuan, was flying in the sky. Li Changshou’s immortal senses discovered a white cloud with a few Immortal Du Sect immortals on it, 250 kilometers to the east… However, they were Jiu Wu, Jiu Shi, and the other two executives who had gone out to do their work and were returning to the sect.

e

Jiu Wu also noticed “Qi Yuan”.

The short Daoist was worried. He said something to Jiu Shi, who was beside him. Then, he let the three of them return to the sect first. He took a turn on his cloud and chased after them.

However, Jiu Wu did not move forward. He followed “Qi Yuan” while keeping a distance of 150 kilometers between them and kept his immortal senses fixed on “Qi Yuan. He wanted to see what “Qi Yuan” was going to do.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Did Uncle-Master Jiu Wu take Master for a spy…

He was disguised as his master now. His master’s immortal senses definitely could not detect Uncle-Master Jiu Wu.

Li Changshou pondered for a while and did not bother about Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, allowing him to follow.

As he chatted and played with Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, he controlled the paper Daoist and slowly flew towards the South Continent.

Jiu Wu, on the other hand, was very patient. He kept a distance of 150 kilometers and stroked his chin from time to time, thinking about something…

The tailing lasted for half a month…

Li Changshou even suspected that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu was related to his master’s enemy.

However, after careful consideration, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had only met Qi Yuan by chance and had no interaction with him. The two of them had also met a few times and there was nothing unusual about it.

After walking and stopping, “Qi Yuan” arrived one and a half months ahead of time. He arrived at the place where he and his senior sister were supposed to meet. It was Lindong City, which was located in the northeast of the East Ocean.

The paper effigy transformed into a common old Daoist priest that roamed around. He held his horsetail whisk and frowned as he entered the city through the city gate.

Jiu Wu landed outside the city and scratched his head. It was obvious that he was curious about his junior brother’s whereabouts.

Could it be related to the great calamity that happened in the sect previously?

He is also Junior Disciple-Nephew Changshou’s master. I can’t ignore him…

Just as that thought surfaced in Jiu Wu’s mind, his immortal senses captured Junior Brother Qi Yuan, who had just entered the city, and saw that he was greeted by an old Daoist priest in a Daoist robe. He said something in a low voice.

“There is indeed a problem.”

Jiu Wu immediately concealed his aura and secretly moved towards the city, wanting to investigate carefully.

The short Daoist naturally misunderstood.

When Li Changshou’s paper effigy entered the city just now, the old Daoist priest clad in a Daoist robe and whose cultivation level was at the Soul Formation realm walked up to him. He did not meet him, nor did he mention anything about Wan Jiangyu.

The old Daoist priest’s face was decent-looking and his aura was calm. He came forward and cupped his hands before bowing. Then, he said, “Fellow Daoist, have you heard of the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean?”
