Chapter 65: Junior Sister, This Test Is The Best!
“Moon Elder, you’re an immortal who manages marriages. How would you know what love is!?!”
In the front hall, a drunk Heavenly General was wailing.
The Moon Elder looked extremely helpless and he could only say some comforting words, but he did not dare to agree and promise to help that Heavenly General get married.
What had the Moon Elder not encountered in the past ten thousand years?
He had been through many such situations.
He could only comfort him continuously and try to knock some sense into him. He then contacted the other Heavenly Generals to get them to deal with this matter.
Marriage Affinity mainly depended on one’s own hard work. If he wanted to develop a romance with that fairy, he would have to think long and hard for a solution he could use to move her…
Before that, Elder Yue was repairing the clay figurine that Xuan Du had damaged.
The clay figurine was formed from the power of the Heavenly Dao and hence constantly detected Heavenly Dao. Although it could be repaired, the process was very complicated.
The main thing to do was to temporarily remove the clay figurine from the Wheel of Destiny. After the repairs were completed, he would put it back.
Just a moment ago, the Moon Elder was about to finish the repairing process but the Heavenly General suddenly arrived and complained to him.
Since the clay figurine could not be away from the Wheel of Marriage for too long, the Moon Elder handed over the last bit of the repair process, which was easy work, to his two disciples to handle.
In the apse, the two boys carefully installed the clay figurine’s new left arm and a wisp of mysterious Dao emanated from the clay figurine, causing the arm to instantly fuse and become one with its body.
Then…
The younger boy pointed at the remaining clay on the table and asked softly, “Senior, what should we do?”
“Oh no! I made a mistake at the shoulder! There’s a small crack! Oh no, I can’t stuff it in.”
“In this case, will Master punish us?”
“Yes…”
The older boy pondered for a moment and looked at the clay figurine in his hand. His eyes lit up.
He discovered that the width of the bottom of the clay figurine was just right because his legs were slightly parted.
The boys looked at each other, after which the two of them carefully placed the clay between the legs of the clay figurine together.
After that, the older boy took out a small hairpin and used it to poke the clay inwards, creating a deeper indent.
It was a success!
As soon as the two boys were done with the mending, the drunk Heavenly General in the front hall was taken away by two of his friends.
The Moon Elder walked over with his hands behind her back and asked in a gentle voice, “Have the two of you mended the clay figurine?”
“Yes Master, we have mended it!”
The Moon Elder grabbed the clay figurine and looked at it. He nodded in satisfaction and tossed two bottles of pills at his disciples.
“Not bad. Go to the front hall and cultivate.”
After saying that, the Moon Elder carried the clay figurine into the starry sky and gently pushed the clay figurines that had been summoned from the Immortal Du Sect backwards.
The Wheel of Marriage appeared and the Great Dao wheel rotated.
The male clay figurine slowly floated back to its original position and the three female clay figurines around it detected its movement. The three red strings slowly extended towards the clay figurine that had just returned.
The Moon Elder heaved a sigh of relief. It was finally settled.
He then noticed the clay figurine swaying its body to dodge an incoming red string.
“Is this fellow really dedicated to cultivating Dao?”
The Moon Elder smiled and looked at the three red strings on the clay figurines which did not seem to have changed much.
“Interesting. It depends on how long you can hide. I can’t force you on this matter. We have to bring couples together, we can’t make things difficult for them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the male clay figurine gently avoided the other red string, after which the clay that the two boys had just stuck in between its legs slid off and floated in the sea of stars…
The Moon Elder was stunned for a moment and his face instantly stiffened. He tilted his head and looked at the male clay figurine that had just been repaired, only to see that it was surrounded by three other male clay figurines…
How… how could this happen? This had never happened before!
Could this lad be any more ruthless?!
No, this could be because some of the fragments were accidentally added to it when I was repairing the clay doll.
Come to think of it…
The clay figurine is only a carrier of the red string. The main reason why the left arm is important is that it might produce a new red string of marriage…
The Great Daoist Master probably would not notice it…
This is a Heavenly Dao marriage clay figurine that has no other symbolic meaning. At most, there would be a subtle connection with the person but his body will not be affected…
Right?
“Remember to focus on this!”
The warnings that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du’s had given when he left in a hurry were still ringing in his ears. The Moon Elder’s Adam’s apple bobbed and he hurriedly took a few steps forward and squeezed the speck of clay in the air with his hand.
He crushed it, ground it into the powder, put it into his sleeve, and looked around. He then walked quickly to the clay figurine and studied it carefully. He carefully smeared the powder in his hand on the left shoulder of the figurine. It seemed that the amendments made were not perfect, and there was a tiny crack there…
“Nothing happened. Haha, nothing happened. The power of the Three Stars is a blessing! It’s a huge blessing!”
“Hahaha… Hahaha…”
The two boys at the door quietly slipped away…
Not long after, the Moon Elder stood there with his hands clasped behind his back. He muttered, “If there are really any negative effects… it would be our fault. What should I do?”
…
In the secret underground chamber of Little Qiong Peak,
Li Changshou sat cross-legged on the prayer mat and cultivated quietly. His body was like glass, and his immortal soul was unsullied. A ball of True Samadhi Flames slowly circulated in his body, illuminating his skin as though it was translucent. There was an immortal glow within.
After checking carefully, he still did not find anything unusual about his body.
He thought for a while and went into peaceful seclusion for a few months. He only relaxed a little when his small cultivation realm was almost perfected.
There should be no problem.
Although he had perfected his small realm, Li Changshou was not in a hurry to achieve breakthrough immediately. He followed his original plan and tried to gain enlightenment about the realm again.
The first step was to learn new things through revision.
The second step was to change one’s perspective and verify the results of Dao before checking for mistakes and making up for them.
The third step was to suppress one’s cultivation level and strive for perfection.
He had to repeat those three steps several times before he could minimize the probability of ‘disruption’. Only then would he be able to stabilize his realm.
The primeval opportunity had been snatched away by the Connate pioneers. If he wanted to have the ability to protect himself in the future, he could only seek stability in the early, intermediate, and late stages, and then accumulate in the last stage.
His ideas and train of thought had always been clear.
Most of the experts in the Primordial Times have already established their strength.
What he wanted to pursue was the height that he could reach in the future. He did not want to fight for time.
After being in seclusion for another half a year, Li Changshou finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his body. The itchiness in his body did not appear again.
As he had ascended a while ago, he had already understood the first volume of the Inaction Sutra.
However, he did not have the right opportunity to study the second volume of the Inaction Sutra. Furthermore, it was a taboo for him to cultivate the core cultivation techniques of his sect. There were also some risks involved.
There was no wall in the world that was impenetrable.
Putting aside the tricks and trump cards that Li Changshou had kept, his final amulet was actually to not violate the core rules of the Immortal Du Sect and harm the interests of the Immortal Du Sect.
Let’s take it slow.
“The Inaction Sutra” is vast and profound. There is a general outline in the first volume.
He had to study it carefully and slowly understand the words, one by one. He would definitely gain something from doing so.
Maybe he could come up with something new.
After another hundred years, the immortal seedlings of the same generation as him in the sect would begin to undergo Tribulation Transcendence, one after another. He could also arrange for them to go out and “coincidentally” transcend the Immortal Ascension Tribulation. By then, it would not be too late for him to cultivate the second volume of the Inaction Scripture.
After returning to the Pill Chamber from the secret chamber, he put away the paper effigy that he had been working on for a long time. It was already realistic enough to be a clone.
Li Changshou sat beside the Pill Furnace and began to refine it slowly.
This Pill Furnace was called the Thousand Poisons Hundred Golden Furnace. It was a superior immortal treasure and the Pill Furnace that Elder Wan Linyun had kept as a spare.
The furnace was forged with Hundred Refined Bright Fire Gold, and mixed with hundreds of precious materials. Even ordinary Golden Immortals would not blast it immediately to refine pills, much less a Heaven Immortal like Wan Linyun.
Looking closely at the outer wall of the Pill Furnace, he realized that pure spiritual energy was flowing under the black metallic luster. There were hundreds of poisonous insects and twelve types of poisonous spiritual beasts carved on the surface of the Pill Furnace.
However, the Pill Furnace did not have any poisonous corrosive properties. On the contrary, it could suppress the toxicity of the pill and increase its safety.
Originally, Elder Wan Linyun wanted Li Changshou to take another Pill Furnace that was even more precious and could increase the rate of formation of the pills, as well as improve their quality. However, Li Changshou insisted on choosing this Pill Furnace that was used as a backup…
That made Elder Wan Linyun sigh.
After all, the Primordial Times were far away and it was difficult to obtain treasures. Hence, treasures were more precious to most people who would defy rules for them.
There were too few young people who would not be shaken by the treasures.
However, Li Changshou was focused on safety,
Li Changshou was very satisfied with the Pill Furnace after refining a furnace full of poisonous pills…
Next, he could discuss the plan to make money with his master.
“I’ll have to let you use these small arrays to protect yourself first,” Li Changshou muttered. “Once I have the precious materials, I’ll make sure that you’re safe and sound here. No one will be able to bully you.”
That Pill Furnace was not a spirit treasure. Naturally, it would not give him any response.
It had been some time since he returned. It was time for him to pay a second visit to Elder Wan Linyun at the Pill Tripod Peak.
He could not just disappear after receiving the benefits.
Hmm… I’ll go catch a few spiritual fish and get Fairy to prepare some dishes. I’ll bring two jars of fine wine with me to visit him.
As Li Changshou planned his agenda, he slowly walked out of the Pill Chamber and rode a cloud towards the straw hut.
His immortal senses easily penetrated through the array formation around the Fairy’s straw hut and he saw her leaning against the window and resting.
Her black hair cascaded down her shoulders and waist. Her curvy figure that was hidden under her thin shirt was exquisite.
If not for the occasional chuckling and the way she would address him as ‘Senior’, which would kill most of the mood, such a beautiful scene was enough to make one enthralled.
On the stone slab beside her hand, there was an incomplete relief of Li Changshou riding on the clouds and returning…
“You’re not cultivating properly.”
Li Changshou shook his head. However, he did not disturb Fairy. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen by the lake to start cooking.
After being busy for four hours, he whipped up a scrumptious meal.
During the first two years when Fairy had just arrived at the mountain, she was still a young girl who was used to living in luxury, could not bear the hardships in the mountain. Li Changshou’s culinary skills had been honed at that time.
After that, Li Changshou actively nurtured his junior’s tenacious and hardworking spirit. After she abstained from eating, he had also imparted all his culinary skills to her.
He placed the remaining dishes on the plate into two food containers, one of which he quietly placed beside his junior. He then placed the other in front of his master’s door.
Afterward, Li Changshou carried a few dishes and two jars of wine with him as he hovered at a suitable height. He avoided the busy Cloud Path and headed for Pill Tripod Peak.
Not long after he left, Fairy’s nose twitched slightly. She was attracted by the fragrance of the dishes and slowly opened her eyes.
“Huh?”
The blue fairy licked her lips and she saw the food container beside her hand, as well as the bamboo piece on it.
“Don’t slack off in cultivation. Only by working hard, can you reap the fruit of your labor and become immortal.”
Fairy was stunned for a moment, after which she smiled happily.
Senior had dropped by!
He even cooked for me!
Oh?
That’s abnormal.
Fairy stood up instantly resting her right elbow on her left hand and pinching her smooth chin with her right hand. She began pondering quietly.
Hmph, Senior must be trying to test if I still remember the contents of his lecture!
With a tap of her finger, a talisman flew out from her sleeve and stuck to the food container.
She then threw the food container out of the window while flames flickered on the talisman, causing the food container to explode immediately.
Although her shot was not perfect, it was at least outstanding!
Fairy smiled smugly and then walked out of her straw hut to search for her senior.
However, her attention was quickly caught by the identical-looking food container in front of her master’s door.
The smug smile on Fairy’s face gradually froze. She raised her hand and placed it on her forehead while groaning softly.
The food was really cooked by Senior.
I haven’t eaten it for many years… Why am I…
Sigh, Senior has led me astray!
“Master is in seclusion. I’m sure he didn’t notice. The food is outside the array formation.”
It’s going to turn bad if it’s left there…
Fairy looked around before tiptoeing towards her Master’s wooden door. She looked down and picked up the food container from the ground.
Master, I don’t want to snatch food from you but you’re busy getting enlightenment about the Immortal Dao, so you definitely won’t come out of seclusion. It’s not good to waste food, right?
Screech—
The wooden door slowly opened. The Daoist priest Qi Yuan, who was stretching his back, looked down and saw his little disciple standing in front of the door. He smiled warmly.
“Fairy, what are you doing here?”
“Um… Master… Senior made some dishes and asked me to send them to you.”
“Oh?” Qi Yuan immediately grinned widely and grabbed the food container. “It’s rare for you guys to be so filial. It wouldn’t be too late for me to go to the Heaven-Breaking Peak after I eat it.”
Fairy turned around and allowed her back to face her master. She pouted and looked aggrieved.
I’m crying, Master. I’m really crying, Master…
She took a deep breath and asked casually, “Master, do you have something to settle at the Heaven-Breaking Peak?”
“Ahem!”
The Daoist priest pretended to be calm and replied, “It’s not a big deal. Well, I’ve become an immortal and previously, I received a notice from the Hundred Mortal Hall that the Little Qiong Peak can now participate in the gathering that happens once every ten years.”
“Oh, huh?”
