My Senior Brother is Too Steady

In the rear hall of Anshui City, a Water-Fire Taiji Painting appeared out of thin air. It carried the power of water and fire and slowly rotated.

The Great Daoist Master jumped out of it with a cold expression.

When the Water-Fire Taiji Painting dissipated, the Great Daoist Master’s sleeve fluttered gently. A handful of ashes floated out and turned into Li Changshou’s figure with specks of light.

He still looked like an old immortal. There was still the image of a pagoda on his chest. The Great Daoist Master exhaled and sat back on the round chair. He was silent for a while before sighing.

“This Uncle-Master is a little too…”

Li Changshou held his horsetail whisk and whispered, “Great Daoist Master, after all, this is the Saint…”

“Yes, I know that.” The Great Daoist Master nodded slowly and said, “I should have listened to you and cut off the cicada’s skin in front of this Uncle-Master. I originally thought that it would not be good to involve the conflict between the Western Sect and the Dao Sect. However, from the looks of it, there is no need to care about the pride of the Western Sect. They don’t care about pride.”

The Great Daoist Master was gentle and easy-going even when he was angry.

Li Changshou did not know how to persuade him.

That Saint is really… it’s hard to explain.

A moment ago, at the ruins of the Great Spirit Explosion, the Second Sect Master of the Western Sect, Daoist Zhunti, whose face was blurry and whose body was covered by the rays of light, appeared. He said that the Golden Cicada was fated with the West and asked the two of them to stop.

At that time, Li Changshou had secretly given the Great Daoist Master a suggestion to add insult to injury. However, the Great Daoist Master had clearly hesitated, causing him to miss the opportunity.

It was not that the Great Daoist Master did not dare to go against the Saint. If necessary, the Great Daoist Master would still go against him.

However, what happened today was Li Changshou’s counterattack against Jin Chanzi. There was a reason for it.

If the Great Daoist Master forcefully killed Jin Chanzi, he would be exposed. If the Ren School wanted to destroy the destiny of the Western Sect, they would increase unnecessary karma for the Ren School…

That was actually nothing much.

The Ren School had a total of two and a half Saints. At most, the Grand Pure One would fight with the two Saints of the Western Sect.

It was impossible that they would be afraid. He reckoned that they would be able to defeat the Western Sect…

However, in that case, things would get out of hand. The Primordial World would definitely be in turmoil. The Dao Sect’s luck would be affected, and the Great Daoist Master would definitely be pulled back to the Grand Pure One and be grounded for a few hundreds of thousands of years…

That would not be beautiful.

Mostly importantly, the Great Daoist Master saw Li Changshou’s performance today and realized that Jin Chanzi… It would be difficult for Jin Chanzi to pose any threat to Ren School in the future.

When Jin Chanzi grew up again, Li Changshou would not stay in the same place. When the time came, he would probably only use his brain and his fingers to deal with him.

Therefore, the Great Daoist Master decided not to kill Jin Chanzi. He only tried to sever the karma.

The Great Daoist Master said, “Uncle-Master Zhun Ti, this Primordial Beast wants to harm the disciples of Ren School. It should be killed by the disciples of Ren School.”

The old Daoist priest on the cloud said calmly, “Why? Is my status not enough?”

The Great Daoist Master’s smile gradually disappeared. He looked up at the rays of light in the clouds, his figure still standing tall.

The clouds in the sky were like mountains, and the people below were like huge ponds!

The Great Daoist Master said, “If you say that, I won’t dare to say anything. However, Uncle-Master, how should we end today’s karma?”

The old Daoist priest said, “Since I’m here, karma can be destroyed.” “What if the Golden Cicada attacks the people of Ren School again?”

“There is a natural law of fate,” the old Daoist priest said leisurely. “Since there is a cause, there will be consequences.”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du squinted slightly.

Li Changshou, who was hiding in the Great Daoist Master’s sleeve, sighed.

Is this a Saint?

He said those words casually and did not care about the actual meaning at all. It was purely to tell you— “I will definitely protect this Golden Cicada today. Do whatever you want!”

That only happened with the presence of the Great Daoist Master. If it were Li Changshou alone, he would probably not even have the chance to speak. Daoist Zhun Ti would attack him with the Seven Wonder Tree.

At that moment, the Great Daoist Master could only retreat. If he continued speaking, Daoist Zhun Ti would probably use some pompous words to dismiss him. Li Changshou rubbed the Great Daoist Master’s arm and sent a voice transmission. “Great Daoist Master, pardon me, but you can say, ‘I wonder what the Western Sect is going to do with the Golden Cicada.’ Even if such a Primordial Beast has cleared its negative karma, it should not enter the Saint’s eyes.”

Since he could not kill Jin Chanzi, he would destroy his opportunity to become a disciple of the Saint and minimize the trouble he would face in the future.

The Great Daoist Master’s eyes lit up and he followed his instructions.

Indeed, Saint Zhun Ti had changed his strategy… The old Daoist said, “This Golden Cicada attacked my senior brother’s golden body a long time ago, so he owes the Western Sect karma. In the future, we will have a fateful encounter with him and make him offer his Dharma body to the Western Sect. I’ve already come here personally today. Do you think that I’m not worthy enough for you to let him off on my account?”

The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Uncle-Master, you’re being too serious. Since you’ve made a request, I will not make things difficult for this Golden Cicada today. However, this Golden Cicada is a ferocious Primordial Beast. It has accumulated many bad karma. Aunt-Master, you are a Saint. You actually personally appeared and took it away. I’m afraid it will damage the reputation of the Western Sect.”

Zhun Ti did not speak for a long time. Then, he said, “This Golden Cicada’s ferocious nature is rare. I brought him back to the spiritual mountain to suppress him in the Merit Pool and expiate his soul.

Disciple-Nephew, you worry too much. Leave.”

Upon hearing that, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du cupped his hands and did not say anything else. He turned around and walked away, disappearing from the world and returning to the rear hall of the Sea God Temple.

That was a Saint.

There was no need to reason. Once he spoke, even the Great Daoist Master could only retreat temporarily and return home to throw a fit.

In the Sea God Temple, the Exquisite Heaven And Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda slowly emerged from Li Changshou’s chest and sent a spiritual message to the Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou. Li Changshou did not know what kind of voice and tone the spiritual will had transformed into, in the Great Daoist Master’s heart.

However, in Li Changshou’s heart, it said, “Kill him! Eldest Disciple, what are you afraid of? Zhun Ti is a good-for-nothing. If we really fight, he might not be your match! Can his Seven Wonder Tree be used? I’ve tried it in the ancient times. That tree is not good at all. It’s just bullying quasi-Dao Saints who don’t have any treasures and small Connate numinous treasures. Call the Boss in the painting and the others over and fight him head-on. There’s no problem. We definitely won’t lose!”

The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and said, “I can do whatever I want, but I cannot go overboard. If I were to attack the Saint, I would have embarrassed Teacher. Moreover, the Saint’s mystical abilities are unfathomable. He has merged with the Heavenly Dao and is connected to the world. We will not be able to win just by having many treasures.”

The little pagoda trembled and immediately retracted the light, as if it was angry. Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Great Daoist Master, I did not think through it properly. I only considered how he would escape and did not consider that his life-saving mystical ability would be like that. If I had hidden some of the paper effigies at the side back then, there would be no further trouble at the end of the spiritual explosion.” “This is not your fault,” the Great Daoist Master said kindly. “You have already done very well. If I had your cultivation level and gone to do such a thing, I would definitely not be able to do it so properly without leaving traces. However, after this matter, Changshou, you can be at ease. The Western Sect will not dare to attack you directly.”

As he spoke, the Great Daoist Master took out a jade token from his sleeve and gently pushed it towards Li Changshou.

“Today, I saw you use the Water Escape technique to almost shake off that golden cicada. Only then did I know that your greatest talent is in this escape technique. Take this. I wanted to let you cultivate in peace. Don’t be distracted by these mystical abilities.”

Li Changshou held the jade token with both hands and carefully looked at it…

He was so excited that his heart raced and his hands trembled!

From now on, I don’t have any escape techniques!

I only have the Cosmic Escape Technique!

The name of the escape technique was very simple. It was the Cosmic Escape. However, according to the theorem of ‘the fewer words there are, the bigger the matter’, those three ordinary words were definitely extraordinary! “Thank you, Great Daoist Master.”

Li Changshou put away the jade token. Naturally, he could not comprehend it immediately.

The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “You have finally met the Saint today. Do you have any enlightenment?”

Li Changshou said seriously, “I actually don’t have any thoughts. I couldn’t see the appearance of a Saint either. I feel a little regretful…

Great Daoist Master, I think we can continue with this matter. We should not let it go.”

“What do you want to do? Tell me.”

“I want to use the power of the dragon race to spread some news.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and said slowly, “For example… They can say that in the ancient times, there was a ferocious beast known as the Six-Winged Golden Cicada. It is ferocious and ruthless. It has powerful abilities and is proficient in the Universe Technique. If anyone captures this ferocious beast, they cannot kill it directly. The cicada’s skin can be used to refine Spirit Pills that would give immortality to those who consumed them, and Golden Immortals who take them can perfect their Dao realm. We can use this to pressure the Western Sect so that the Golden Cicada will not be able to make a comeback.”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du’s eyes lit up. Then, he looked at Li Changshou in admiration.

The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, which was sulking, trembled slightly. The rays of light appeared again, and the aura of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda kept falling. Two wisps of spiritual will entered Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master’s hearts… “Where did this random treasure come from? This scheming fellow is almost catching up to our old master!”

Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master looked at each other and did not dare to reply. He was really frightened.

as r

When the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda left, it was a little reluctant to leave and cursed.

It really wanted to stay by Li Changshou’s side and protect Li Changshou when he roamed the world.

Although Li Changshou wanted to nod and agree, he could only thank the senior of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda for protecting him…

Although the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda did not unleash any of its power in the previous fights, it was a guarantee and a sense of security that Li Changshou yearned for!

Moreover, the Great Daoist Master was not beside him. Li Changshou’s main body would only cultivate in the mountains. There was nothing fun about it. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda would probably get tired of it soon.

The Great Daoist Master sent Li Changshou back to the Immortal Du Sect. Li Changshou watched as the Great Daoist Master returned to the Tushita Palace of the Heavenly Courts.

In the secret underground chamber, Li Changshou postponed his plans and began to reconsider.

The thickness of the “slingshot” was slightly different from what Li Changshou had expected.

He’s really thick-skinned…

As expected of someone who could say that the Primordial World is fated with the West.

Li Changshou would not be surprised if such a Saint killed a disciple of Ren School.

Especially since he had met Saint Zhun Ti today, he had to be more careful in the future.

Yes, I will persevere and hide in the mountain for 100,000 years without wavering! Li Changshou checked the anti-detection trinkets on his body and carefully sensed the Dao runes left behind by the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. Then, he carefully sensed a wisp of obscure Dao runes that were similar to that of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.

That was the power of the Taiji Painting, which was a treasure of Ren School that was used to conceal his identity and block out all deductions!

Li Changshou chuckled.

How could a numinous treasure like the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda have such a temperament? I wonder what kind of temperament the Taiji Painting, the Wind-Fire meditation cushion, and other treasures have.

If they are all hot-tempered, it would be extremely lively.

“Saint…”

Li Changshou took a deep breath and took out two copper coins from his sleeve.

Previously, when the Great Daoist Master was in the Sea God Temple, Li Changshou had secretly tried to use his merit to nurture the two copper coins. There were no abnormalities or changes.

At that moment, more than half of the “coating” on the two copper coins had been removed. The coins were bright gold.

Li Changshou placed his hands on the two copper coins and transferred some Heavenly Dao merit into them.

Ding – The two copper coins trembled slightly and let out a crisp sound. A wisp of spiritual will was transmitted to Li Changshou’s heart…

However, the difference between the treasures was obvious.

For example, the Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda Pagoda of Heaven and Earth could not only communicate with the wielder of the pagoda, but it could also talk about learning to tease, ahem, to get close to living beings. It knew the orders of the Saint and was as lively as a chatterbox who was not able to speak for millions of years.

The two copper coins that Li Changshou had been looking forward to for a long time could only express their intimacy and joy towards Li Changshou. They tried their best, and only then did Li Changshou realize something. It had the simplest instruction manual.

Li Changshou studied it carefully and frowned.

This treasure is not as mystical as I thought…

The Great Dao that they contained was a “trade-off” of the human Dao.

It meant that any treasure could be sold at a good price and could be bought back with the copper coin.

Due to the fact that ‘military affairs can destroy the market’, the copper coins could not be used on weapon-like Dharma treasures.

Since it was a transaction, the person who held the copper coins would naturally have to pay the price.

The copper coins were just a kind of currency. They were given value, and what gave them value was the power of merit.

Simply put, if he used the copper coins to obtain numinous treasures, he would have to expend his merit.

The higher the grade of the treasure, the more merit he would have to consume. In fact, the Heavenly Dao allowed negative karma.

That also verified Li Changshou’s previous conjecture. Merit and negative karma could be offset, but the two were not as simple as eliminating and negating each other.

Li Changshou could not help but fall into deep thought…

His merit had to be used to condense the Golden Body of Merit. He could not waste it.

From the looks of it, the main purpose of him obtaining the copper coins was to help Master Zhao block a calamity and reduce the karma of Fairy Yun Xiao’s tribulation…

“Forget it.” Li Changshou shook his head and gently gave the two copper coins some words of encouragement. Then, he put them into a brocade box and placed it into his trump card storage.

Then, Li Changshou took out a piece of cloth and began to plan carefully for the matters regarding Jin Chanzi in the future.

He wanted to hold a public debate so that the Western Saints would not accept Jin Chanzi as their disciple.

If Jin Chanzi was only a Dharma treasure used for obtaining a sutra, he would have more room to maneuver.

Today, the Western Sect had actually lost the battle. Saint Zhun Ti had personally appeared to protect the Golden Cicada. That was embarrassing.

However, he did not expect the Saint to be so thick-skinned that he was not bothered by it at all. That made the Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou feel that they did not get much of an advantage…

He had used 72 paper effigies…

The inventory had become less abundant.

Li Changshou scanned the rear mountain of the Little Qiong Peak with his immortal senses. It seemed that he had to get some thousand-year-old spiritual trees for a transplant.

“Huh?”

Li Changshou blinked and realized something. Could it be that… I was the one who spread the rumor that one could live forever after eating the flesh of Tang Seng?

What a subtle participation in historical myths… Hence, Li Changshou felt more confident.
