My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 517 Unlucky Rock

The world was endless. A hole was dug through. In the East Continent, in a bustling town near the East Ocean, people were still coming and going as usual.

There were countless Qi Refinement cultivators hidden in the famous mountains and rivers. The legendary figures of the immortal sect also needed to exchange for items. Spirit Stones, pills, and precious materials were the three pillars of most of the outposts in the Primordial World. Of course, the service industry of the Primordial World occupied a large portion of the place where the World Edge Pavilion was situated. Daoist Duobao arrived an hour earlier than the agreed time with Li Changshou.

Daoist Duobao retracted his pressure and aura. He put his hands in his sleeves and looked more natural…

The aura of a wealthy person. Ahem, the Rat Treasure Vault’s warning! Changgeng said that there’s a huge matter today. Do you know who has implicated the fate of Jie School? Could it be that it has something to do with itinerant cultivators?

Daoist Duobao pondered. Just as he took two steps on the streets of the town, he heard Li Changshou’s voice transmission. “Senior Brother Duobao, there’s a pill shop in front. Go into the alley beside the Pill Medicine Shop and walk a hundred steps through a few simple illusion arrays.”

Duobao was a little confused. He looked in the direction Li Changshou had pointed out and nodded calmly before walking forward.

There was a messy street hidden there. There were many carpets, and there was a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

Daoist Duobao thought nothing of it. He could flatten the town with a flip of his hand, so he naturally did not feel much.

He calmly walked into the alley, passed through the illusion array, and arrived at the hidden street. Li Changshou sent another voice transmission and led Daoist Duobao to a corner. After making many turns, Duobao finally put a paper effigy into his sleeve and met Li Changshou. As soon as they met, Daoist Duobao asked his eldest senior brother three questions. “What’s going on?” “What’s going on?” “Who is plotting here?” Li Changshou’s paper effigy sighed and sent a voice transmission to Daoist Duobao. “Let’s get ready first. I’ll slowly tell Senior Brother about this.” Daoist Duobao naturally trusted Li Changshou. After all, he was watching Li Changshou and Junior Sister Yun Xiao’s live broadcast… ahem!

After all, he was the junior brother of Ren School who had bathed with his master.

That was their friendship with the immortals of Jie School!

This time, Li Changshou did not seek any benefits. He purely wanted to help the sect get rid of some chronic illnesses and clear away some negative karma to stabilize the Dao Sect.

Perhaps this operation could only salvage some luck for Jie School and increase the chances of survival for Yun Xiao and Master Zhao.

However, it was better than doing nothing. While Lingle’s cousin Cai Yao and her Dao companion had yet to arrive, Li Changshou communicated with Daoist Duobao for a while. After understanding Daoist Duobao’s understanding of “acting”, he began to train Daoist Duobao in all aspects. Daoist Duobao really did not expect… He was the first disciple of Jie School, the eldest disciple of Tongtian, and the number one treasure hunter in the Primordial World…

Yet, he would end up in such a state too!

An hour later…

Daoist Duobao was wrapped in a light yellow robe. There was a hint of alcohol around him. His slightly plump face was no longer fair and tender. Instead, he looked more experienced.

He spread a blanket on the street and sat cross-legged calmly. There were more than ten bottles of pills in front of him, and he looked a little dejected.

In his sleeve, a paper effigy was sending a voice transmission.

“Senior Brother Duobao, whether we can succeed this time will depend on our confidence in some details. Senior Brother, please have a more arrogant expression. When you look around, you have to use your peripheral vision. The first thing you do when you meet someone is humph…” The corners of Daoist Duobao’s mouth twitched slightly. “Changgeng, is there any powerful enemy that requires you to be in such a disguise? We can just fight. If we are not his match, we can ask Junior Brother and Junior Sister to come and help. At most, we can just say ‘Master save me’. Teacher will not sit by and do nothing. Why go through so much trouble?”

“Senior Brother, we’re not going to kill the enemy this time. We’re going to investigate the matter. If I don’t search by following the clues, I might ruin it.”

Li Changshou told the truth, “The Qi Refinement cultivators who are using the vine this time are somewhat related to me. They just came from where my main body is hiding. If I attack him directly, I will have to move to the Heavenly Courts to hide in the future…”

Duobao smiled and said, “I have fewer worries. Changgeng, don’t blame me. Let’s do as you say.”

“There are many special Shadow-Retaining Spheres in the treasure pouch that I just gave to Senior Brother,” Li Changshou reminded. “We have to remember everything this time. Senior Brother, I feel that we don’t have to kill a few people or dozens of people. We have to prevent such a situation from happening again.” “That’s right.” Daoist Duobao praised via voice transmission. “Changgeng is right. We have to resolve the flaws in the sect and not kill living beings. It was easy to kill a few so-called experts and completely resolve the hidden dangers. However… can Changgeng tell me what’s going on?”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and continued to use the paper effigy to send a voice transmission. “Before that, Senior Brother, please agree to three things.” “What is it?” “Firstly, you will not be impulsive.” “Secondly, think twice before deciding.” “Thirdly, don’t alert the enemy.” “Alright.” Daoist Duobao agreed solemnly. Li Changshou pondered for a while and simply told Daoist Duobao the information he had obtained.

Gradually, Duobao’s face darkened. He sat there and cursed, “These!”

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother!”

“These dregs of herbs! They really want to anger me to death! They don’t even know how to refine pills and waste precious herbs!”

Daoist Duobao gritted his teeth and cursed. After attracting more than ten gazes, it did not affect anything else. Then, Daoist Duobao cursed Li Changshou’s paper effigy. “This bunch of thieves have misunderstood Jie School! For this matter, I will kill one of them and kill two of them. Those bastards who sold themselves for Spirit Stones and precious materials! They are not worthy of being disciples of Jie School! I was wondering why the red lotus shattered directly. It turns out that it was because of these dregs! I’m so angry!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. He was really angry. He had even forgotten to say that he was angry. “Senior Brother, could it be that you don’t know about this matter at all? Did Uncle-Master not ask about it?” Li Changshou was puzzled. Daoist Duobao thought carefully and pinched his fingers to deduce. Soon, he thought of something. “Previously, Junior Sister Jinling’s disciple, Yu Yuan, once told me that there are always some disciples in the Three Thousand Worlds opening sermons every once in a while. It seems a little strange.” “Then?”

Daoist Duobao looked ashamed and said in a low voice, “I still think that these fellow disciples worship Master and imitate Master’s preaching on the Immortal Island to bring glory to Jie School! Unexpectedly, they preached the Dao for such a reason. When teaching the Dao, there was no distinction between good and evil! Ah! I was too confident and made mistakes.” Li Changshou said, “It’s not too late to salvage the situation now. Senior Brother, please suffer some grievances this time. Let’s get rid of this hidden danger early. Moreover, this matter could not be summarized. There must be immortals who had gone out to preach the Dao. They did not know the inside story. However, they could not tolerate it and just reprimanded him slightly. If you commit an offense that you know about, or if you are trying to use your personal interests as a catalyst, you must be severely punished.” “That’s right. Changgeng, please put in effort in the future.”

Daoist Duobao’s eyes flashed with killing intent. The entire street instantly darkened and turned into an ice cave.

Fortunately, Daoist Duobao quickly retracted his aura and sat there to continue acting as a stubborn alchemist…

Daoist Duobao looked at the stalls on the left, right, and opposite him. The stall owners looked into the depths of the alley and paid attention to the others. They also brought them deeper into the alley and gave Daoist Duobao a cover.

To be safe, Li Changshou had previously set up three paper effigies to add to the atmosphere.

On the other side, the young master of an immortal faction in the trichiliocosm and Ling’e’s cousin, Cai Yao, had already left the Little Qiong Peak. They rode a carriage and rushed to the town with guards.

Li Changshou did not repeatedly remind Daoist Duobao. After all, he was the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School and had rich experience in the Primordial World. He did not have to worry too much. He still had to respect the Eldest Senior Brother of the three sects.

At that moment, Li Changshou suddenly felt puzzled…

Who is the Eldest Senior Brother of the Western Sect?

He had never heard of him.

Four hours later, a man and a woman stepped into the hidden street. They were dressed in slightly luxurious robes, and their bodies emitted the aura of Spirit Stones. The Qi Refinement cultivators who were setting up stalls there perked up. A few weak shouts immediately sounded in the streets…

“Bewitching Powder, Bewitching Powder. The Bewitching Powder that doesn’t increase in price can bewitch Perfected Immortals and confused Heaven Immortals.”

“The Blood Eruption Eye-Rending Pearl is a Dharma artifact that can kill Perfected Immortals. There are three of them.”

“Spiritual beasts for sale at a cheap price!Young spiritual beasts for sale!” However, the couple only looked around and walked forward, causing the shouts in front and behind to quickly fade.

Clearly, he had come prepared. It was not easy to deceive him.

“Husband,” Cai Yao suddenly said, “Is it the one in front?”

The male immortal looked up and indeed saw Daoist Duobao. He sized him up carefully and realized that he was exactly as Ling’e’s senior brother had said! One word: rich.

At that moment, the male immortal walked forward and cupped his hands. He bowed and took out a jade token from his sleeve.

A slightly plump Daoist who was about to chase him away frowned and muttered, “What’s your relationship with the owner of the jade token?”

The male immortal smiled and said calmly, “He’s a good friend who hit it off at first sight.” The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched when he heard that through the paper effigy.

It was indeed considered connected. However, it was just a superficial form.

The process of the male immortal taking the bait was very smooth. Without struggling, he was fooled by Daoist Duobao.

Li Changshou’s previous worries had been proven to be unnecessary.

Who was Daoist Duobao?

Before he became the Grandmaster of Heaven’s disciple, he was the first Treasure-seeking Rat that ran freely in the Primordial World and did not die. His outstanding courage had trained his agile reaction.

He had really dug more holes than others.

Looking at the jade token that Li Changshou had given the male immortal, he first understood the origins of the male immortal. He also wanted to play hard to get and declined a little, indicating that he was used to being idle and did not want to be the Chief Alchemist.

The male immortal invited him again and again. He was very polite to the wise. Daoist Duobao seemed to be a little shaken, but he still rejected him.

Until…

The veiled Cai Yao said, “Husband, why don’t you buy all of this senior’s pills?” The male immortal followed his instructions and was scammed by Daoist Duobao. Daoist Duobao took the Spirit Stones and nodded reluctantly.

He portrayed a somewhat unscrupulous alchemist vividly.

Daoist Duobao even added scenes for himself and fabricated a daughter to fill the gaps in Li Changshou’s original script. On a cloud boat that flew out of the five continents, dozens of guards were patrolling everywhere. The cabin was filled with singing and dancing. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Daoist Duobao sighed. He said that he had already received a message from Li Changshou and agreed to go to the trichiliocosm to develop. Firstly, he wanted to obtain some Spirit Stones and treasures. Secondly, he wanted to find a way out for his only daughter. The male immortal looked enlightened. He looked at Daoist Duobao’s complicated eyes and sighed. “Fellow Daoist, you work hard for your children. I’m impressed. Come, let me toast you.” “Young Sect Master, you flatter me.” Duobao held his wine glass and lowered it.

Some details and words made Cai Yao’s husband believe that he had taken the initiative.

Soon, Bu Zhongyao told Daoist Duobao in detail what he had said to Li Changshou previously. In order to reassure Daoist Duobao, he specially explained in detail, causing the light in Daoist Duobao’s eyes to intensify.

Li Changshou secretly observed that scene and felt more admiration for Daoist Duobao.

He was the Eldest Senior Brother of the number one sect. For the sake of teaching fate and for the sake of his fellow disciples, he had acted and deceived a little Heaven Immortal who did not have any real talent…

If the immortals of Jie School knew about it, they would probably cry and sigh. When the time was right, Daoist Duobao took out a treasure pouch from his sleeve and said softly, “I have some savings here. I wonder if Young Sect Master can guide me? Or, how many pills can I exchange for two chances to listen to the Dao? For the first time, the Young Sect Master casually made arrangements for me to experience it so that I can be more at ease. Don’t blame me, Young Sect Master. I only have one daughter…” “Hey.” The male immortal pushed the treasure pouch back and smiled. “How can I make you spend?”

Daoist Duobao hurriedly said, “Young Sect Master, don’t do that. We are not close yet. When we become familiar with each other in the future, I will not harp on this matter. In that case, there are hundreds of Spirit Pills that I have refined here. Most of them are of similar value.”

Daoist Duobao took out a few huge gourds from his sleeve again and opened the mouth of the gourd. All of a sudden, rays of golden light shone from the mouth of a calabash. It was as if there were bells and immortal music echoing, and rays of light were surging towards him. Eighth-grade Spirit Pills! Daoist Duobao’s expression changed. He stuffed the gourd into his sleeve and smiled awkwardly at the male immortal. “I took it wrongly. It was given to me by my master. I did not refine it.”

At that moment, Bu Zhongyao was no longer calm. He stared at Daoist Duobao like lightning and laughed loudly. Then, he patted his chest and agreed. At that moment, Bu Zhongyao sent out two jade talismans and contacted two batches of experts who were involved in the sale of Jie School’s in-name disciples. Perhaps Daoist Duobao and Li Changshou were lucky, or perhaps the immortals and itinerant cultivators of Jie School were unlucky. Bu Zhongyao quickly received a reply. Half a month later, there would be a Dao discussion. It was just a seat, and he had to collect five hundred Spirit Stones. He could guarantee that the people who came would be experts from Jie School… Bu Zhongyao gritted his teeth and took some immortal treasures. He squeezed out a seat and handed the jade token to Daoist Duobao.

Half a month later, Yun Zhou rushed to a Sector and arrived in front of a hidden valley.

When he got off the cloud boat, Daoist Duobao cupped his hands and said, “I will definitely repay you generously!” “You’re welcome, Sir.”

Bu Zhongyao smiled calmly and watched Daoist Duobao fly into the clouds in front of him. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Cai Yao said worriedly, “Husband, why do I feel that something is amiss?”

“What do you know?”

Bu Zhongyao smiled calmly. “These Qi Refinement cultivators who have no hope of living forever pour their heart and soul into their children. They want their children to do something that they can’t do. For that, they could even throw away their lives. An eighth-grade Spirit Pill… The expert behind him is definitely not simple.” Cai Yao wanted to say something but hesitated. Bu Zhongyao had already made a gesture. The cloud boat slowly moved forward and waited outside the Chiliocosm.

Clouds filled the valley.

The fog was just a simple maze. It naturally could not block Daoist Duobao’s vision and Li Changshou’s detection.

The dozens of meditation cushions in the middle of the valley were already filled.

There was a straw hut in front of the meditation cushion. There was a meditation cushion in the straw hut.

That was also very particular. In the rules of the Primordial World, the more powerful an immortal was, the simpler the arrangements would be. They would use that to highlight the immortal’s elegant personality.

“Stay.”

A soft shout came from the side. Two tall and thin Daoists blocked the way.

Daoist Duobao stopped and handed over the jade token that Bu Zhongyao had given him. There was a friendly smile on his lips, and he was a little reserved.

At the same time, according to Li Changshou’s discussion, Daoist Duobao secretly released two Dharma treasure insects and stuck them to their ankles. He did not attract their attention at all.

A Daoist threw a meditation cushion over and said firmly, “This is your meditation cushion. Remember not to make a sound inside. Listen to the Dao and don’t ask any questions.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Go in. You’re late. Remember to sit back.”

“Thank you, thank you.” Daoist Duobao cupped his hands and carried the meditation cushion to the middle of the valley. He sat behind dozens of men and women. As soon as he sat down, Daoist Duobao snorted coldly at Li Changshou. “Those two are immortals of Jie School!”

Li Changshou reminded, “Eldest Senior Brother, we’ve already come this far. Don’t alert the enemy.” Daoist Duobao nodded with a smile. He looked amiable on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

Li Changshou’s paper effigies secretly activated the Wind Speech Incantation, but they found nothing. The surroundings were silent. Not long after, Daoist Duobao put his hands in his sleeves and stuck a small jade piece onto Li Changshou’s paper effigy. Li Changshou immediately heard a conversation from somewhere. Someone should be sending a voice transmission. She first heard an anxious man’s voice. “Senior Sister, I’m begging you this time. Senior Brother Lin Liang, who is supposed to be here, suddenly had something to do. Those itinerant cultivators who want to listen to the Dao have gathered. We can’t let them disperse.”

Then, he heard a gentle female voice. “Why can’t we let them disperse?” “Isn’t that damaging to the reputation of Jie School?” “Ah, I actually know about the things that you guys did behind the scenes. I just promised Senior Brother Ma Yuan to help you a few times. After this, I will no longer owe Senior Brother Ma Yuan a favor.” “Thank you, Senior Sister. Thank you, Senior Sister. These are all negotiable. It’s about time…”

Another sigh was heard, and the female voice fell silent.

After a while, the clouds in the depths of the valley split apart. A graceful female immortal dressed in a black dress slowly flew over on a white cloud. She landed in front of the straw hut and sat on the meditation cushion.

There was a little mist covering her face and she emitted her Dao runes. She could be considered an expert. At that moment, she said gently, “I’m a Qi Refinement cultivator of Jie School. My Dao name is Shi Ji. I’m here today to explain the Golden Immortal Dao to you.” Daoist Duobao slowly lowered his head. His eyes flickered, but he quickly hid them.

Although Li Changshou, who was in his sleeve, was only a paper effigy, with Daoist Duobao’s help, his immortal senses could see the famous Unlucky Immortal. In all honesty, the Goddess of Stone, Shi Ji, was outstanding. She had fair skin, exquisite facial features, and was also beautiful. However, that could not reduce Daoist Duobao’s killing intent. Daoist Duobao sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou. “Shi Ji is unforgivable!”

Li Changshou muttered in his heart…

The Goddess of Stone seemed to be famous on the original God-Conferment Roll. Should I make a temporary oath this time and see if I can kill the immortals on the original roll before the God-Conferment Roll appears? After thinking about it carefully, Li Changshou dismissed that thought.

Today, he was helping the Jie School clean up Chen Ke’s old illness. There was no need to complicate matters. He still had to be steady and not interfere with the internal affairs of Jie School. He only suggested and gave some solutions. It was the wisest choice not to make any decisions for Jie School.

Suddenly, Shi Ji seemed to have sensed something. She looked up at where Daoist Duobao was sitting and her gentle voice paused.

“Why isn’t that fat Daoist looking at me? Is what I said too superficial?”
