My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 157 Small Merit Waistcoat

“Alright!”

On the high platform in Lingxiao Treasure Hall, a white-robed young man shouted. General Dongmu who was below the platform could not help but shiver.

When he heard that, the Jade Emperor, Hao Tian, laughed loudly. He kept patting the desk and clicked his tongue in wonder.

“What the guest Changgeng said is true and resonates with how I feel! I’ve been concerned about this for many years. Today, I finally have someone to speak to! Hahahaha! Why have I only met Changgeng now? Hahaha! The four seas are settled!”

General Dongmu lowered his head and did not dare to speak. However, in his heart, he was filled with admiration.

He had obtained that introductory message from the Sea God Sect four hours ago.

After he took action, General Dongmu immediately rushed back and handed it to His Majesty.

It had been many years since he had seen the Jade Emperor being that happy… In his heart, General Dongmu understood the hidden meaning behind His Majesty’s words.

“I’ve been keeping this in my heart for many years. Today, I finally have a guest to talk about this matter with.” That meant that His Majesty had not expected that matter to be resolved.

Fellow Daoist Changgeng is truly an expert! “Congratulations, Your Majesty.” General Dongmu cupped his hands and said, “Now, we have to appease the Four Seas. The Three Realms will return soon.”

“What you said is a little exaggerated, General Dongmu.” The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “There are a few Saints in the Three Realms presiding over it now. The Three Sects of the Dao Sect are protecting the world. It doesn’t matter if it returns or not. The Three Realms will be safe.”

General Dongmu’s expression changed, but he laughed in his heart.

Ever since His Majesty met the Sea God of the South Ocean, his daily behavior had become much more stable.

Of course, he did not dare to say that since he was a servant. He could only lower his head and sigh.

“Your Majesty is magnanimous. I can’t reach

Hao Tian smiled and looked at the warm cloth in front of him. His eyes were full of admiration, and his heart was surging.

If he took in the dragon race and the four seas, he could display his might through the clouds and rain.

He could control the seas and stabilize the world. He could use the Sea Army to settle the trichiliocosm!

Hao Tian saw the crucial moment of the Heavenly Court’s rise.

It was as if he had suddenly found a door. After pushing it open, there was a bright path!

In the end, Li Changshou wrote two sentences.

The first line was that he should not be too hasty in everything. It was best for him to rely on his power and influence to achieve victory.

The second sentence was interesting.

“A helping hand in need is better than a complementary accessory…”

Hao Tian carefully thought about it and soon understood. He smiled confidently.

“General Dongmu!”

“I’m here.”

“Let’s go to the Illuminated Hall to take a look and understand the decree. How does that sound?”

“Yes, I’ll go take a look.”

Then, General Dongmu turned around and left quickly. Hao Tian sat behind the desk, his fingers brushing against the memorial. He could not help but laugh.

“Although there are not many disciples in Ren School, most of them are really extraordinary.”

When General Dongmu returned in a hurry and said that only thirty percent of the decree had just been completed, Hao Tian nodded slightly and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip to the Tushita Palace and retrieve some high-grade spiritual herbs and precious herbs for me to use during refining.” General Dongmu lowered his head and nodded. He walked out from the side of the hall and rode a cloud towards the Heavenly Courts’ treasure vault.

“Changgeng, Chang, Geng…”

Hao Tian stood up and stretched his muscles and supported himself against the desk with one hand, keeping the other behind his back. He looked at the stars that were slowly revolving on the dome of Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

“Does this Dao name belong to any expert from Ren School? Senior Brother, the Grand Pure One, only has a few in-name disciples. Who would be related to this Dao name?”

In the empty hall, the Jade Emperor Hao Tian muttered softly. The clouds on the floor of the hall could not give him any reply.

The emperor suddenly thought of something and looked at Li Changshou’s admonishments carefully. Then, he took out other admonishments and compared them.

Not long after, the Jade Emperor’s eyes lit up. He grabbed a piece of cloth and wrote a line of small words on it.

Soon, the emperor summoned a civil servant outside the hall and pushed down the cloth that he had written on, with immortal power.

“Tell the servants of the Heavenly Courts that all memorials will have to be in this format, no matter who submits it.

If anything is wrong, they will be punished for ten years.”

The moment the Jade Emperor finished speaking, the servant immediately lowered his head and accepted his orders.

At that moment, a golden light flashed from the top of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and disappeared from the Heavenly Courts.

The Jade Emperor naturally knew what was going on.

As soon as he said that, the Heavenly Dao had a detection. Due to the matter regarding the “memorial format”, he had bestowed the Heavenly Dao merit to the Sea God of the South Ocean.

The golden light formed from merit was not considered small.

The Jade Emperor chuckled.

He felt that he had given too little merit.

Unfortunately, even if he was the Jade Emperor, he could not change his mind. Otherwise, he would not be stingy at all.

At the same time… on the treasure ship that had yet to leave the East Continent, a golden glow suddenly appeared around Li Changshou.

He immediately opened his eyes and activated his long robe with Dharma powers, quickly covering the golden light…

What the hell?

Li Changshou scanned his body and looked at the surroundings of his essence soul. There was a flash of golden light, and the tiny essence soul effigy was submerged in the pool of merit! The merit that suddenly appeared was much purer than the incense merit he had collected previously!

Is this…

Has the Jade Emperor specially rewarded me because he had seen the memorial I had written?

Li Changshou quickly refined the merit. After the boxers, he began to put on a small waistcoat for the essence soul effigy.

The Life Safety Index increased by three times!

During that process, Li Changshou’s mind was tense. He used his immortal senses to monitor his surroundings.

Fortunately, the changes around him just now did not disturb anyone on the ship.

The seven Sensing Stones on his body did not light up.

Twelve feet away, in another corner of the deck of the treasure ship, Youqin Xuanya had entered a state of meditation.

Li Changshou thought about it and did not make any rash moves. He focused on refining the power of merit that suddenly appeared.

His Majesty, the Jade Emperor… is too generous!

Li Changshou praised. He knew that it was not easy to obtain that merit. It was a reward that could only be obtained by calculating the destiny of the entire dragon race.

Clearly, he had misunderstood something since he had not officially ascended to the heavens… Li Changshou quickly realized another problem.

Will the Jade Emperor feel anything when the merit is directly descended?

If his identity was exposed because of this, he would not be happy.

I should think of a way to allow the paper effigy to temporarily store the power of merit. Then, when the Heavenly Dao gives me my salary in the future, I will send it to this subsidiary account…

Li Changshou quickly pondered while pinching his fingers to calculate.

If there was any special characteristic that was not necessary for humans, Li Changshou felt that it would be excessive curiosity.

He had repeatedly reminded Wang Qi not to try the Poisonous Dragon Wine casually.

Unexpectedly, in less than twelve hours, his Junior Brother Wang Qi…

On the second day of the journey to the Middle Continent, the treasure ship flew on the cloud. Most of the Qi Refinement cultivators on the ship found their own places to cultivate, regardless of their cultivation level or whether they were pretending.

Li Changshou had done some merit for his essence soul. He sneaked away from Youqin Xuanya and found a corner to wait.

Just as he sat down, he took out a piece of paper formed from the essence of a young spirit tree and began to cut it with his fingers. Wang Qi bent over and hurried over.

Wang Qi’s cultivation level was already at the fifth-stage of the Dao Requital realm. However, at that moment, hot air was rising from his head. His face was red, and his eyes were sparkling. He was nothing like his usual carefree and unrestrained self.

“Senior Brother Changshou… do you have an antidote for that wine? I accidentally drank a cup!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

There’s no hope. Carry him away. Next.

Of course, he could not say that out loud. After all, they were from the same sect

Li Changshou smiled bitterly. “How can there be an antidote? Junior Brother Wang, I have reminded you many times. Why did you still!?!”

“I was just curious…”.

Wang Qi could not help but stomp his feet. “Senior Brother, what should we do?”

“You and Senior Sister Yan’er have already become Dao companions. This should not have been so difficult.”

Wang Qi said in a hushed tone, “The Sect Master and the Grand Elders are watching!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

You’re making it sound as if the Sect Leader and elders really wanted to peek at you, the Cave Abode defensive array formation that you set up in the immortal sect could really isolate their immortal senses!

Li Changshou naturally knew how powerful the late-stage Heaven Immortal realm immortal senses were.

The comprehensive protective array formations that Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu spent a lot of money to build with his help could barely resist…

Of course, he could not say that out loud, lest he made the Dao companions in the sect feel uneasy.

If he were to cause some young disciples who secretly liked to pursue thrills and were very bold, to feel ashamed to the point of developing mental demons and going crazy, the karma would be huge.

Li Changshou muttered to himself and said, “Why don’t you ask the Sect Leader for help and ask him to help you refine the Yang in your body?

The Sect Leader is actually very concerned about us young disciples. Besides, we can only look for the Sect Leader for help regarding this matter. If we look for other elders, you will definitely be punished and scolded.”

Wang Qi thought about it carefully and found that it made sense.

“I’ve troubled you, Senior Brother Changshou!”

Wang Qi bowed and made a Dao salute. He sighed in his heart. “I’ll go and ask to see the Sect Leader now. I’ll accept it if he wants to punish me.”

Li Changshou nodded slightly. His Junior Brother Qi Qi was quite responsible. After secretly drinking the Poisonous Dragon Wine, he did not bring trouble to his Dao companion.

Li Changshou could not help but shake his head as he watched Wang Qi leave in a hurry…

What is this?

Fortunately, I did not give Wang Qi the Ambition Pill. Otherwise, Wang Qi would not just have his body hunched. He would have hugged the pole and danced on the ship…

Li Changshou closed his eyes and rested. He continued to monitor his surroundings while paying attention to Wang Qi’s situation.

Li Changshou had already found the fastest escape routes on the treasure ship.

If he was attacked on the way by a stronger enemy, he could retreat at the fastest speed and call for reinforcements…

When a strategic retreat was made, there would be a legitimate excuse. That was actually quite important.

Li Changshou’s immortal senses captured Wang Qi knocking the door to the luxurious suite on the top floor of the treasure ship. After Wang Qi went in, he knelt down and told Sect Leader Ji Wuyou that he had drunk the Poisonous Dragon Wine out of curiosity. Daoist Wuyou was also puzzled. He glanced at Wang Qi and asked him to take out the Poisonous Dragon Wine.

After that, Ji Wuyou dipped his finger in some wine and analyzed the medicinal properties carefully. He could not help but laugh and ask Wang Qi where that item had come from.

Wang Qi hesitated for a while and did not dare to hide anything. He told Li Changshou that he had gone to look for Senior Brother Changshou to ask for it. It had nothing to do with Senior Brother Changshou.

Daoist Wuyou could not help but laugh and said gently, “Don’t be nervous. This item is not bad. I will not punish you. I have already sent a voice transmission to call your Dao companion over. Look behind you…”

Wang Qi turned to look, only to see that Liu Yan’er had already rushed into the room and was kneeling beside Wang Qi with a blank expression.

After that, Ji Wuyou put his hands behind his back and smiled. Without giving them a chance to speak, he left the room.

The Sect Leader activated the surrounding array formations and personally set up a barrier for them.

Before Wang Qi and Liu Yan’er could react, they were already trapped inside. After that, Ji Wuyou went to the top of the treasure ship and admired the magnificent mountains of the world. He could not help but sigh.

“It’s good to be young… *coughs*!”

When Ji Wuyou coughed, he lowered his head and saw Li Changshou, who was meditating at the corner of the ship.

The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect was instantly interested. He floated down.

Li Changshou hurriedly stood up to welcome him. He felt a little helpless and respectfully called out, “Greetings, Sect Leader.”

“Yes, there’s no need to be so polite.” Daoist Wuyou casually set up a soundproof barrier and went straight to the point. “Did you bring the Poisonous Dragon Wine and the Ambition Pill that you refined earlier?”

Li Changshou immediately took out three bottles of Ambition Pills and six jars of Poisonous Dragon Wine. He placed them in a treasure pouch and handed them to the Sect Leader.

“Sect Leader, the injury to your essence soul doesn’t seem to have fully healed. If you use these two things together… it’ll be very nourishing…”

“What are you thinking? I don’t have a Dao companion. It’s been hundreds of thousands of years and I’m still alone.”

Daoist Wuyou said in a low voice, “I really have a few old friends. They have lived for a long time, and their mentality has changed. They are already very incompatible with their Dao companions. They are often troubled over that matter.

*Coughs*…

You did well in this matter. When we go there later, you and Xuanya will follow behind me. I’ll show you the true experts of the Three Sects.”

Li Changshou’s heart did not waver. He tried his best to put on a slightly excited expression and said in a low voice, “Thank you, Sect Leader. I accept your orders.”

Daoist Wuyou smiled in satisfaction. He put away the treasure pouch and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something.

“Changshou, you and Great Daoist Master Xuan Du of Ren School…”

Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat.

Has the matter regarding my secret interaction with Great Daoist Master Xuan Du… been exposed?
