Chapter 79: Wish Fulfilled, Wine Maiden Clears the Stage
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After leaving the Little Qiong Peak, Jiu Wu looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand and thought to himself in amazement.
I never expected that Disciple-Nephew Changshou would be so familiar with Elder Wan Linyun, who is the most aloof person in the sect.
This is a good thing that could poison Heaven Immortals…
Changshou is very thoughtful. He actually gave me such expensive poisonous pills to protect myself.
Jiu Wu chuckled and raised his sleeve to take a look. He chose to place the bottle of pills in a treasure pouch in his sleeve that was rather easily distinguished. He then continued to fly towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
In front of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou sat on a reclining chair and continued playing with the silver-white sword.
The Dao Repository Inner Hall…
Tsk, the Dao Repository Inner Hall!
It contains the core Dao bearings of the Immortal Du Sect, information about high-level Dharma spells, mystical abilities, alchemy, array formations, refining artifacts, and other precious manuals.
There are also some medicinal herbs and precious materials that I could exchange for, using my monthly allowance!
Li Changshou felt that he was smiling like a lecherous man who had seen a brothel and had also gotten a huge sum of money from his wealthy father…
He coughed twice and immediately regained his usual composure.
He was indeed very happy about that.
After transcending the tribulation and ascending, what he lacked the most were strong foundations.
However… he could not go to the repository immediately.
He decided to settle down for a while first. It would not be too late for him to head to the Dao Repository after the sect stopped paying that much attention to him.
Anyway, Heaven-Splitting Peak was right there. It wouldn’t run away. There was no reason for him to cause trouble for himself.
The poisonous pills that were given to Jiu Wu were also a token of gratitude. They were indeed from Elder Wan Linyun.
The high-grade immortal pills refined by every alchemist would be slightly different. The pills refined by Li Changshou had some slight “personal characteristics”.
During such situations where he was giving pills and not a poisonous pill treatment, he could only use Elder Wan Linyun’s poisonous pills…
His Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu had not come out of seclusion for a long time. If he had taken out the high-grade poisonous pills that he had refined in the sect, it would be difficult to explain clearly where the toxin-suppressing immortal power came from.
Speaking of which, Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu has been in seclusion for so long… Could it be that he is about to break through to the Heaven Immortal realm this time?
That’s not right. He should still be a little lacking…
Li Changshou was actually more worried about his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. His cultivation would inevitably be affected if he kept running around the sect.
That was probably one of the reasons why cultivators of the Dao Sects were unwilling to cultivate in the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou put away the silver sword and scanned the lake with his immortal senses. He realized that Ling’e was still writing her scriptures. He sighed softly in his heart.
It’s a good thing that my mental endurance is strong enough, so you didn’t succeed in scaring me.
He activated the surrounding array formation and used the paper effigy as a disguise. He then turned into a wisp of green smoke and floated into the underground chamber.
After some careful thought, he felt that he had to thank the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace, Ao Yi, for causing trouble for nothing…
Although it had always been troublesome to encounter Ao Yi, the outcome this time was not bad.
During the Demon-Sweeping Meet in the Dragon Palace, he had finally obtained the True Samadhi Flames cultivation technique.
After the Qi Refinement cultivators of Jie School had come to create trouble for him, he obtained the permission to enter the Dao Repository Inner Hall…
During the previous encounter, he was unlucky to have ended up losing a large amount of incapacitating agents. However, he did not dare to go to the Dragon Palace to get a ‘thank you’ gift bag…
If I meet the Prince of the Dragon Palace again…
Forget it, it’s best that I don’t.
Li Changshou shook his head. He had already reached the center of the Recovery Array. He walked towards the rock layer in front of him…
At the same time…
In the Treasure Pool of Golden Ao Island, Ao Yi, who was hiding at the bottom of the pool and cultivating the Ice-Condensed Earth technique, shivered.
The shiver made him wake up from the Dao Enlightenment realm.
The scene of him losing to Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, surfaced in Ao Yi’s heart. He did not feel any resentment, however.
His mystical abilities were inferior but there was nothing to be resentful about.
If I can’t stop focusing on victory and bring myself to admit defeat, how am I going to influence the dragons?
A look of relief flashed across Ao Yi’s eyes.
Then, he thought about how he and Li Changshou had spent a night admiring the Danqing paintings and reciting poems…
Judging from Brother Changshou’s cultured personality, he is truly a gentleman-like person. He is refined and elegant, a rare gem among the humans.
If I have the chance in the future, I must visit the Immortal Du Sect.
As for the five senior brothers from Golden Ao Island, they had also suffered defeat in the Immortal Du Sect…
On the way back, the eight of them had agreed not to mention the matter after returning to Golden Ao Island.
This is for the smooth development of the relationship between the two schools. We’re not feeling embarrassed!
“Uncle-Master Ao Yi?”
A voice suddenly called out from the side of the pool. The azure dragon looked up and saw through the clear water, the young girl Han Zhi who was standing by the pool.
A smile appeared on the azure dragon as it transformed into a human body and swam up slowly.
Although he did not know why his human body stopped growing, he still had a youthful figure…
There were some things that would not be hindered by his bodily size.
The young girl who was standing by the pool asked, “Are you not cultivating? Am I disturbing you, Uncle-Master?”
“I… I was thinking about something so I did not cultivate. Do you want to go to the East Ocean today?”
“Is there beautiful scenery in the East Ocean?”
“Yes, there are a few beautiful places over there, like the Coral Treasure Forest, Sea Forest Falls…”
Soon, the young couple rode the clouds and headed towards the East Ocean.
At the end of the island, the pair of terrifying eyes opened again.
However, this time, there were more fluctuations.
It should be a friendly gaze.
…
Li Changshou’s immortal senses spread around the Little Qiong Peak as he walked along the stone path, in case anyone approached him.
Next, Li Changshou was going to use a large number of precious materials to refine the array foundation, update and expand the array formation system of the Little Qiong Peak.
The treasures that Jiu Wu had sent over to him were considered rewards from the sect. They could be used to modify the Confinement array formation and Bewitching Array. He could openly add some lethal array formations that could kill the intruders…
As for the outer layer of the array, he naturally had to wait for Jiu Jiu to come out of seclusion before setting it up. His master’s strength was limited, and it would be difficult for him to suppress the spiritual power and stop it from surging when he set up the chain array.
He pushed open the wooden door to see that the secret chamber was filled.
Thirty-two jade squares were arranged diagonally and neatly. Inside each square, there was solidified “tree pulp”.
It was the paper that was used for the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts.
The tree saps had been processed dozens of times in an orderly manner. They retained the aura of living beings and could contain Dharma powers and immortal powers.
When he was creating paper dolls, Li Changshou looked like he was only using a piece of paper to cut the paper. In fact, the paper itself was considered a Dharma treasure…
Li Changshou quickly folded the paper that had been hung up. Then, he covered it with a piece of beast skin that was engraved with special restrictions, after which he walked to the back of the desk.
Making paper effigies really required plenty of paper. He had to make a batch of ‘paper’ every two years.
As a result, the old spiritual trees that he had previously moved had become much thinner…
Now, we have to start saving paper.
The paper effigy is still unstable. It would be a waste to use too much paper.
At the thought that he would be able to come into contact with a bunch of high-level array formations and high-level Dharma treasures, and continue to perfect the paper effigy’s incarnation technique, Li Changshou could not help but chuckle…
When one is happy, they would smile often and luck would shine on them.
However, Li Changshou quickly suppressed his joy.
Based on his experience in his previous life, the happier he was, the easier it would be for him to get into trouble.
For example, when he graduated from university in his previous life, he had a girlfriend whom he was in a stable relationship with.
At that time, his family had given him a sum of money to start a business. Li Changshou started to plan for the future happily and wanted to have the best of both worlds—a successful relationship and career…
However…
Half a minute before he told her about his plan, his girlfriend broke up with him and officially became his ex-girlfriend.
That was the best portrayal of happiness and sorrow!
He snapped out of his thoughts and began to handle the materials.
For the next half a year, Li Changshou got busy in the secret chamber. He focused on refining the array foundation and expanding the array formation inside the Little Qiong Peak.
The wind chime that was made from the Stone of Sensation and was hung outside the Pill Chamber, had not shone for two months…
The commotion caused by the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island gradually calmed down.
Li Changshou waited for another half a year before he came out of the secret chamber. He changed into a clean robe and flew at a suitable height towards the Dao Repository at the back of the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
What was the Dao Repository?
It was the place of Dao treasures.
Only a small portion of the ancient books there was created by the Immortal Du Sect. Most of the treasures were external items.
The past generations of Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals in the Immortal Du Sect would leave their useless cultivation techniques, manuals, and miscellaneous items in the Dao Repository.
Some of the more valuable ancient books or the copies of profound cultivation technique volumes would be placed in the inner hall.
The Dao Repository was huge. The outer hall could hold more than a thousand people. There were bookshelves filled with classics and spell books everywhere.
In a few corners, there were also piles of miscellaneous items that had not been taken care of.
Don’t underestimate them.
They were actually the foundation of the Immortal Du Sect!
Li Changshou had once found the incomplete Secret Tome of the Witch Sect in those piles of junk that had been accumulating for countless years. He had also found blood-stained linen film in a piece of tattered beast skin…
At that time, he did not go to the outer hall to do those things rashly. He was appointed by the Hundred Mortal Hall to be in charge of cleaning the place.
He spent a few years searching carefully.
From then on, he received the Hundred Mortal Hall’s commendation. They had given him double his initial monthly allowance for the past few years…
Now, Li Changshou no longer rummaged through the miscellaneous items.
He had searched everywhere, but there was nothing useful!
It was a pity that the carving knife that he had found inside had been destroyed by the Immortal Ascension Tribulation…
However, the Immortal Ascension could not destroy the Sutra-writing technique that he had comprehended through another beast-skin scroll.
There were dozens of disciples in the outer hall of the Dao Repository.
What was interesting was that more than ten people were gathered beside the bookshelves where the books about escape techniques were stored. They were reading about the Five-Element escape techniques that no one had been interested in, as well as other escape techniques that were unorthodox…
Li Changshou did not look further. He lowered his head and walked to the deepest part of the outer hall. He found the two doors that were embedded in the rock walls and emitted a faint glow…
The Night Luminescent Dharma Pearl emitted a gentle light. An elder was sitting on a meditation cushion in front of the door and resting with his eyes closed.
The elder was not too tall. His face was thin, and his long hair was grayish-white. There were no wrinkles on his face, but he seemed to have aged.
“Elder Qi Ling, there are experts in the sect. Their cultivation level is unknown. They have been guarding the Dao Repository all year round. They rarely go out, and their whereabouts are unknown.”
Li Changshou had heard the name of that elder from Jiu Jiu when he went to the North Continent.
Li Changshou held the silver-white sword with both hands and bowed. He said, “I wish to enter the inner sect to read the manuals.”
Elder Qi Ling slowly opened his eyes. There was no change in his gray eyes. He simply stared at the small sword in Li Changshou’s hand without looking at him.
“Go in.”
“Yes.”
Amidst the faint sounds that resulted from friction, the door to the Dao Repository’s inner hall slowly opened. Li Changshou stepped in and disappeared in a flash.
Finally…
He had sneaked in…
…
Li Changshou had just entered the inner hall of the Dao Repository.
On the other side of the Heaven-Splitting Peak where the Nine Jiu Immortals lived, there was suddenly a thundering explosion. Lightning flashed and the array formation outside was instantly dispersed. A slender figure slowly rose into the sky.
The few menial disciples, who were always busy with chores, raised their heads together, each with a look of admiration on their faces.
The female immortal who was hovering in the air was surrounded by immortal light, which shone brightly on her face.
Her hair fluttered in the wind, but her linen blouse was still tight and the hem of her short skirt swayed gently while she stuck her bare feet downwards…
Very quickly, she opened her pure and innocent eyes and revealed a confident smile.
Late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm!
I surpassed Fifth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Sister in one move!
I did not expect to make such a huge advancement this time! I’ve been in the Dao Enlightenment state all this while. Unknowingly, such a long time had passed!
She placed his hands on his waist and felt smug for a while. She had been holding it in!
Hehehe, where is Fifth Senior Brother?
Where is Little Shoushou?
Is there no one to welcome me out of seclusion?
Jiu Jiu reached for her waist and grabbed the small gourd.
Seriously, I made a huge leap in my seclusion this time. Master must praise me…
“Uh!”
Jiu Jiu looked down at her beloved wine gourd and shook it gently, only to find that there was no sound of water inside.
Oh no!
I finished all the wine before I went into seclusion. Only then did I feel like I had broken through the bottleneck and entered the Dao Realm!
Hiss—
After taking a deep breath, Jiu Jiu did not care about posing anymore. She quickly went back to her own pavilion, where she heard the sound of someone rummaging inside the room.
Damn it, how could I have any stock!
I can’t keep wine!
“Fifth Senior Brother!”
“Help!”
Jiu Jiu rushed out of the attic and dashed to Jiu Wu’s attic. However, from afar, she could see that the array formations around Jiu Wu’s attic had been completely activated. There was a wooden sign hanging in front of the door. It read “I have something to do.”
“Ah! Little Shoushou! Can you give me my salary in advance!?!”
Jiu Jiu quickly summoned the huge gourd and rushed towards the Little Qiong Peak with it.
She was as fast as a flash of light and she shocked a few of her fellow disciples who were passing by…
A moment later, in Little Qiong Peak, Ling’e, who was cultivating quietly, suddenly heard the sound of something heavy falling outside the straw hut.
Ling’e immediately became alert. Her spiritual senses probed outward while she held a few porcelain bottles in her hand.
However, just as she was about to stand up and check, she realized that the array formations outside the straw hut had been forcefully broken!
A gray shadow rushed into the door and collapsed on the ground. Ling’e was so frightened that she almost tossed the porcelain bottles in her hand out…
That’s not right. The scale is terrifyingly large and the arrays are so elastic that others will bounce off of it…
“Little Aunt-Master?”
“What’s wrong with you!?!”
Ling’e rushed forward and shouted anxiously.
Jiu Jiu lay on the ground weakly. She slowly turned her head, revealing a dejected face that resembled that of a mortal that was on the verge of death in the desert…
Ling’e was shocked and at a complete loss.
“Little Aunt-Master, don’t scare me! My senior brother just went to Heaven-Breaking Peak!”
“Quick…”
Jiu Jiu’s lips trembled as she extended her hand towards Ling’e, filled with hope.
It was as if she had used the last bit of energy she could muster to say those words…
“Give me wine…”
