Chapter 109: A Smile from Senior Brother

Chapter 109: A Smile from Senior Brother

According to the disciples patrolling the mountain, there was a Qi Cultivator who came to visit, claiming to be looking for someone from Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou's divine sense swept over, and he could see outside the mountain gate, two figures were leaving on clouds, seemingly leaving something with the gatekeeper.

Following the ancient rule of "the old ordering the young," Li Changshou gestured for Ling'e to go out.

Meanwhile, Li Changshou carefully searched Little Qiong Peak himself, checking for any disturbances caused by mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes were no small matter.

Perhaps due to Li Changshou's recent fatigue and his current forced alertness, his mind was feeling a bit urgent...

He stood by the lake, among a group of jade frog spirit animals, using his divine sense to carefully scan various places in the mountain.

Suddenly, he had a realization and gained insight into the microcosm, mastering the method of perception.

What is perception?

It's just a technique for using divine sense, not a systematic cultivation method, requiring Qi Cultivators to understand and explore on their own.

With this divine skill, one can observe insects and ants from thousands of miles away, and break through obstacles within a hundred miles.

Just like Ling'e who flew from the mountain gate just now;

Originally, Li Changshou's divine sense could only lock onto her figure and facial expressions, barely discerning the swaying amplitude of her hair.

But now, it was different. His divine sense could even see the texture of her skin...

Speaking of which, Ling'e's skin was indeed quite good. Even with the microcosm technique, Li Changshou couldn't find any flaws.

Skin like condensed fat, lustrous as jade, could be broken with a flick.

Such perfect skin... it's really a waste not to use it for refining spirit grass.

Li Changshou withdrew his divine sense and continued to search various places on Little Qiong Peak; with the ability of micro perception, the exploration became rapid and convenient.

Where are the mosquitoes?

He had already done several comprehensive mosquito eradication works on Little Qiong Peak before, and now there were hardly any ordinary mosquitoes left.

"Senior Brother! Look what I brought back!"

Ling'e jumped down from the clouds, calling out in a tone of triumph.

A jade talisman rotated slowly in Ling'e's palm, emitting a faint light, looking quite ordinary.

"Have you checked it?"

Ling'e said, "Yes, I've checked it. It's just a transmission jade talisman with no restrictions."

Li Changshou took it casually and checked it several times.

Ling'e hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, this is for Master. We can't just open it casually."

"For Master?"

"Yes, the gatekeeper said that two Qi Cultivators left this jade talisman, saying that they had some urgent matters to attend to first. They asked if anyone was still at Little Qiong Peak and then said that this jade talisman was entrusted to them by Master's old friend, and they asked us to pass it on to Master..."

"If you didn't mention this, I wouldn't have been so interested," Li Changshou raised an eyebrow and weighed the jade talisman in his hand, as if trying to see through any restrictions inside.

He didn't dare to open it directly. After all, many transmission jade talismans were crudely made, and if you read the content once, it would automatically disappear.

But, what if this was some kind of trap, containing harmful tricks...

"Senior Brother, does Master have any friends outside?"

"As far as I know, no."

Li Changshou said, "Let alone outside the gate, even among these few inside, the relationship is superficial. After all, for most of the past thousand years, Master has been immersed in solitary cultivation."

Ling'e sighed softly, "Master is such a pitiful male immortal."

Li Changshou said solemnly, "This transmission jade talisman is very likely to be someone else's plot...

Ling'e, do you remember the rumor you told me when I returned from guarding the tomb last time?"

The two senior brother and sister exchanged glances, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

So...

The two senior brothers and sisters returned to Li Changshou's thatched house and set up several small formations together, huddled together to work on it.

After a while...

"Hahaha! I told you, Senior Brother!"

Ling'e lay on Senior Brother's bed, laughing heartily, her hairpins askew, her cloud-like hair in disarray.

Unfortunately, Little Junior Uncle wasn't here, otherwise, if he laughed so hard, it would be quite a sight.

At the low table, Li Changshou's forehead was full of black lines, staring at the letter that appeared on the jade talisman, and those disappearing words...

It really was just an ordinary letter...

And it was from an important person, a letter to Master, signed "Wanjiang Rain".

If Li Changshou didn't remember wrongly, when he was young, Master had mentioned this name many times after getting drunk...

It should be his senior brother without a doubt.

Li Changshou didn't want to read the contents of the letter, but he could only memorize it while the words were still visible.

This transmission jade talisman was somewhat "low-quality." Li Changshou wanted to use it again, but found that its spiritual power had been depleted;

He thought for a moment, took out a piece of cloth, held the brush in his left hand, copied the contents once, and used his immortal power to dry the ink, pretending to write a letter.

He placed the jade talisman aside, which still had some traces of this "Wanjiang Rain".

"Senior Brother, what did the letter say?"

Li Changshou said, "The sender tells Master that she has been well these years, living a good life. She admits to her mistakes in the past and regrets not being able to protect Master as a senior sister..."

Ling'e frowned slightly, pouted her lips, and whispered, "Senior Brother, I don't quite like this senior brother."

"Well, after eight or nine hundred years away, without any communication with Master, I don't like him either."

Li Changshou's voice slowed down, unusually gentle, and said:

"I always prepare for the worst when it comes to people and things. Only then can I respond in time to the worst situations.

But for this matter, I hope deep down that it can turn out to be the best possibility."

"What do you think, Senior Brother, would be the best possibility?"

Ling'e gathered her skirt, kneeling beside her senior brother, her eyes full of tenderness, listening carefully.

"The best possibility...

It's that when this senior brother went out, he searched for treasures to heal Master's injuries and replenish his Taoist foundation, but found nothing after hundreds of years of searching. With despair in his heart, he didn't dare to return, fearing that what he would see was a Master who had given up on himself, or even just a pile of bones and a grave.

So, after eight or nine hundred years, she dared to send a letter of greeting..."

After Li Changshou finished speaking, Ling'e's eyes were intoxicated.

Ling'e softly said, "Senior Brother, if one day I'm injured by someone, will you also rush around for me, not caring about anything else..."

"Don't worry," Li Changshou nodded, his tone serious, "As long as you're not directly killed, I can find a way to bring you back to life. Even if you die, as long as you don't lose your body and soul, can't we go to the underworld and be reincarnated?

Moreover, why would you be injured by someone? Haven't you copied the 'Stable Character Classic' enough?"

"Me!"

Ling E suddenly lost her composure, so annoyed she rolled her eyes, tempted to go up and bite her senior brother!

But then, Ling E noticed that her senior brother's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a subtle upward curve at the corners of his mouth.

Whenever her senior brother showed this subtle expression...

Ling E immediately shrank back, feeling nervous in her heart.

Who is going to be arranged by her senior brother this time...

"Ling E, don't you know a few disciples from Biefeng?" Li Changshou said, "Spread the news about Master's matter and the name Wanjing Rain in secret.

Regardless of how you arrange it, as long as people know that Wanjing Rain from Xiaojiongfeng is coming back to find Qi Yuan from Xiaojiongfeng, it's enough."

Ling E's mind turned, already understanding her senior brother's plan, and whispered, "Senior brother, are you planning to..."

"Don't say much," Li Changshou glanced at his junior sister, "Just do these things, have a bit of involvement, and I'll handle the rest."

"Oh," Ling E pursed her lips, also not daring to say much.

In her heart, she had already started thinking about how to spread this news...

What her senior brother wanted to do, she naturally understood; it was nothing more than to settle the cause and effect of the past for Master, and settle that old grudge.

When she handed the letter to Master, as expected by Li Changshou, Daoist Qi Yuan found out about him peeking at the letter.

The result was naturally being chased all over the mountains by Master with a whisk for half an hour...

After reading the letter, Daoist Qi Yuan sighed deeply, not saying much, nor showing any happy expression;

Even the old Daoist's figure appeared even older, continuing to meditate in seclusion in the room.

Ling E couldn't help but worry, "Senior brother, why does Master seem not happy at all?"

Li Changshou rubbed his backside, his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but complain to his junior sister:

"Master, this person, is stubborn and slow to think.

He is still immersed in the loss of his senior brother leaving him and losing the competition, and hasn't reacted yet.

If you don't believe it, wait half an hour and see, he'll definitely be jumping around in the room."

With that, Li Changshou shook his head and headed towards the alchemy room, muttering as he left.

He opened the communication talisman in advance, not just for the safety of Master!

...

Half an hour later...

Ling E, who was lying by the window, suddenly heard a clattering noise; laughter came from Master's grass hut, and the wooden door was directly kicked open by Master.

The old Daoist jumped out directly, shouting with the whisk in his hand:

"Changshou! Ling E!

Your senior brother finally took the initiative to send a letter!"

Ling E couldn't help but facepalm, and shouted in response, "Master, really?"

"Yeah! Yeah! Ling E, come and see, come and see!"

"Okay, Master, I'll come right over."

With a smile on her face, Ling E ran over and read the letter copied by Li Changshou again...

In the alchemy room, Li Changshou saw this scene with his divine sense and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Next was waiting for news.

Waiting for the news related to "Wanjing Rain" released by his junior sister, to see if they could find out Master's enemies.

Ideally, it would stimulate the other party a bit and lure him to cause trouble at Xiaojiongfeng...

But at this time, Li Changshou did not focus all his attention on this matter, as he had two major tasks to do every day now.

Firstly, of course, was to comprehend cultivation insights.

Secondly, it was to spend an hour every day, through divine image induction, to care about the development of the Hai Shen Sect...

Occasionally, give some guidance to the believers in dreams, and bestow blessings on the worldly good people who worship him.

Since he had chosen this path actively now, he would do his best to be a qualified "wild" god, and then slowly find an opportunity to break free...

It's worth mentioning that the guardians of the Dragon Clan were very powerful.

These true dragon guardians had recently discovered demonic energy in the peripheral areas of the South Sea Sect;

Without a word, they directly confronted the other party without checking their background, even chasing and killing a demon of the Tianxian realm for three thousand miles, killing him in a worldly city.

In the primordial chaos, there was Brother Dragon, ruthless and few words.

Subsequently, some forces acted in secret and brought in a group of demons;

The dragon soldiers and experts of the Dragon Clan in the South Sea joined forces and directly crushed this group of demons in just a moment...

This battle, observed by Li Changshou through divine image, was very satisfying.

After several conflicts, it was declared by the Dragon Palace to all forces intervening in the southwestern region of the Nanshan Baizhou—

The South Sea Hai Shen Sect belonged to their Dragon Clan's incense.

The Dragon Clan had a deep foundation, and now they were holding back a belly full of anger; even the Western Sects had some fear of them, and some things couldn't be put on the surface...

Therefore, those who were planning in secret only used some controlled demons to probe a bit, and didn't entangle much with the Hai Shen Sect.

Li Changshou felt it was a pity that he couldn't promote the "Yanghui Super Funeral One-Stop Service" within the Hai Shen Sect yet, otherwise...

The scene would definitely be spectacular.

While paying attention to the Hai Shen Sect, Li Changshou also secretly observed the sect for more than three months;

Many people in the sect knew about the gossip of Xiaojiongfeng, but they just talked about it and laughed it off.

The enemy still showed no trace, as if Li Changshou was currently competing with thin air.

But it didn't matter, Li Changshou could wait patiently...

However, what surprised Li Changshou somewhat was that after three months, the second letter to Master was brought over again.

And this time, after reading the letter, Daoist Qi Yuan was even more excited.

The old Daoist called Li Changshou and Lan Ling E over, laughing so much that his beard flew to his eyebrows, and solemnly announced:

"Changshou, Ling E, Master is going out now, you two take good care of Xiaojiongfeng!"

Li Changshou frowned, Master had already flown towards the mountain gate on a cloud.

So hastily?

What if he's being plotted against?

Li Changshou hurriedly shouted, "Master! Wait..."

"Wait" was too ominous, as the words reached his lips, Li Changshou changed it to the phrase he usually said:

"Hold on!"
