My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Little Qiong Peak's Special Production of the Ambition Pill

“Aren't Dao companions just people who cultivate together? When did Dao companions become the same as a married couple? Can't I just focus on the Great Dao?

Can't I have some peace and cultivate quietly? Can't I!?!”

In the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Jiu Wu's face was slightly red. He sat on the table and smacked it continuously, letting out a low growl.

At the Pill Chamber's banquet, Jiu Wu sat at the main seat. Beside him was Jiu Wu's sixth junior sister, Jiu Lu'er, and his seventh junior brother, Jiu Qi.

Jiu Jiu was naturally there as well. However, she was currently sitting beside Li Changshou and Ling'e. She looked more like the host who was entertaining guests.

Jiu Lu'er looked like a graceful and intelligent fairy who exuded a delicate and gentle aura.

She seemed to love green. She was dressed in an elegant light-green dress and a straw-green jacket. Her red hairpin was carved from clear jade.

Jiu Lu'er was of average height, and her figure was slender and petite. It was somewhat similar to Jiu Jiu, but a little inferior.

She had a round little face, almond-shaped eyes, thin lips, and a fair neck…

At first glance, she gave off a very gentle vibe. She spoke in a gentle voice and her speech was well-paced. It was as if one would feel that they were being rude and offensive by speaking loudly to her.

As for Jiu Qi who was beside him… he was also worried about Fifth Senior Brother and the two of them followed him to the banquet.

Jiu Wu drank two cups of wine in sorrow. Jiu Lu'er asked softly, “Fifth Senior Brother, what happened between you and Fourth Senior Sister?”

Therefore, Jiu Wu broke his silence and started complaining.

Jiu Lu'er and Jiu Qi frowned and remained silent.

Li Changshou, who was at the side, kept comforting him. He pinched Jiu Wu's nose and made him gulp down some chicken soup.

Ling'e and Jiu Jiu, who were the only ones who did not know what was going on, looked at each other…

Ling'e only knew a little bit about romance.

Jiu Jiu, on the other hand, had been influenced since she was young. She had cultivated for more than a thousand years and knew about those things. However, because she did not have much experience, she did not know what happened to Fifth Senior Brother. He was suddenly full of complaints…

At the start of the banquet, she heard Jiu Wu whining constantly.

Fortunately, Li Changshou suggested that Jiu Wu go out for a walk and relax. He asked the four of them to eat, drink, and play. Hence, the delectable dishes did not go to waste.

As Li Changshou strolled around the spiritual beast enclosure, he thought about how he could salvage the situation.

Seeing that Jiu Wu had calmed down, Li Changshou asked softly, “Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, there is no one else here. I treat you as my uncle-master and a good friend. What is going on? Haven't you and Aunt-Master Jiu Shi always had a loving relationship?”

“Ah!”

Jiu Wu sighed and turned his head.

Li Changshou asked again, “Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, do you have something… that you find difficult to say?”

“Ah!”

Jiu Wu sighed again and hesitated to speak. Li Changshou thought about it and said in a low voice, “Uncle-Master, there's something I don't know if I should say.”

Jiu Wu said, “Tell me. I'm listening.”

“Uncle-Master, sometimes, you're not very confident in this aspect,” Li Changshou continued, “Actually, you're already very good. If you still end up like this I'll definitely keep a distance from matters regarding Dao companions in the future.”

Jiu Wu paused and laughed bitterly before patting his thigh.

“Alright, I'll tell you the truth! I don't know why, but… I just don't want to get close to women lately…”

Li Changshou immediately took half a step back. Jiu Wu was instantly angered to the point of bursting into laughter. He cursed, “Don't think about it! I'm not impotent!”

“Yes, yes.” Li Changshou was naturally just cracking a joke. He also knew what Jiu Wu's problem was.

After muttering to himself for a while, Li Changshou said, “Uncle-Master, I heard Master mention the details of the process of you guys destroying the demons. Have you seen the… 'Aged Beauties' painting that I painted?”

“Yes, I have.” Jiu Wu frowned and continued, “That painting of yours is just a painting. How could it affect me? I'm a Perfected Immortal after all. My mental state is quite stable.”

“It's definitely not just the map alone. However, at that time, it seemed that you had been struck by the demonic vixen's Enchantment Spell, Uncle-Master. At that time, you were completely mentally unprepared…”

Li Changshou reminded him a little. Jiu Wu thought for a while and suddenly realized something.

“Is that so?”

“That should be the case.” Li Changshou sighed. “This matter stemmed from the painting I created. Although you're suffering from the after-effects of the Enchantment Spell, I'm responsible for it. Uncle-Master, if you trust me, let me try and see if I can salvage the situation.” Jiu Wu's short and thick eyebrows furrowed. “How are you going to salvage this?”

Li Changshou smiled calmly and confidently.

After a while, Jiu Wu was full of energy. His eyes were filled with hope as he returned to the banquet at the Pill Chamber.

He seemed to have completely become a different person. He kept calling out to the few of them and asked them to drink and eat. The atmosphere quickly became lively…

His junior brother and two junior sisters were naturally confused.

Li Changshou did not return with Jiu Wu. Instead, he rubbed his forehead and returned to the Pill Chamber two hours later. He solemnly stuffed a treasure pouch into Jiu Wu's hand.

Jiu Wu asked softly, “How many?”

“Thirty-six volumes, the number of Heavenly Constellations.”

“Very good! Thank you, Disciple-Nephew!” Jiu Wu grinned.

Seeing that Jiu Jiu was staring at the treasure pouch in her hand with a burning gaze, the short Daoist laughed and chided, “Don't stare at it for too long. This is not something a child like you can see!”

Then, Jiu Wu put away the treasure pouch solemnly and gave Li Changshou a thumbs-up. “Disciple-Nephew, you're still the most reliable!” “It's just a small matter. Uncle-Master, don't forget our previous agreement.” “Of course! Come! I'll toast to you! If I succeed this time, I'll reward you greatly!”

“Uncle-Master, you don't have to be so polite. Just remember not to tell others.”

The two of them spoke one after another, which was enough to whet the appetite of the people around them. However, no matter how the four of them tried to pry and find out, the two of them smiled and did not say anything.

Very quickly, Jiu Wu abandoned his junior brother and junior sister and left on a cloud in a hurry.

Jiu Lu'er and Jiu Qi also bade farewell and left.

After they left, Jiu Jiu stared at Li Changshou and kept bombarding him with questions. Li Changshou had no choice but to explain to his Little Aunt-Master.

“Uncle-Master Jiu Wu is experiencing some issues with his body, and his Yang is slightly damaged. Hence, I gave him some pills and created some paintings that would be pleasing to the eye.”

“That's it?”

“Yes, that's it.”

However, just as Li Changshou finished speaking, Ling'e, who was cleaning the dishes, suddenly recalled something. Her hand trembled and she almost shattered the jade plates.

Li Changshou turned to look at her, and Ling'e immediately lowered her head to suppress her laughter. She became more agile. She recalled the rapid reproduction of the Jade Frogs…

In the residence of the Nine Jiu Immortals on the Heaven-Breaking Peak, Jiu Wu hurriedly flew back and plunged into his pavilion. He took out two treasure pouches. He took out a few bottles of pills from a treasure pouch, as well as a set of exquisite portraits. Li Changshou's advice surfaced in the short Daoist's mind.

“Uncle-Master, remember to take a look at the scroll first and try to forget the images in your mind. Then, try to take another Ambition Pill and see if it works. Remember, you can't eat too many pills. One pill can wake you up. Two pills will allow you to never get exhausted. Three pills will easily cause trouble.”

Jiu Wu took a deep breath and whispered, “Disciple-Nephew Changshou, I'll leave my future in your hands!” With that said, he slowly and solemnly unrolled the scroll that was labeled 'One'. He saw two lines of a poem.

“When will spring and autumn end? How much do you know about my lingering dreams?”

Then, the painting was slowly unfolded. An indescribable painting was outlined with fine ink…

Jiu Wu gradually felt that something was amiss. He slowly looked at it, and a smile appeared on his lips…

An hour later, he unrolled all the paintings and consumed another pill. He remained seated in a daze.

This time, after a short while, Jiu Wu stood up.

His Adam's apple bobbed and his heart trembled. His eyes were red…

This!

This is the feeling that I had not felt in more than a decade!

“Shi Shi, Shi Shi! I'm fine now!”

The short Daoist quickly put away the pills, picked up the paintings, and left the pavilion in a hurry. He rushed towards his Dao partner's pavilion.

Half a month later.

Jiu Wu and Jiu Shi held hands and headed to the Little Qiong Peak together to thank Li Changshou. They said that Li Changshou had miraculously helped them and that he was a noble doctor… and so on.

After that, Ling'e laughed uncontrollably.

As the competition was approaching, Jiu Wu gave them an immortal treasure and two superior-grade Dharma treasures as a gift. Li Changshou did not refuse. He knew that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu served as an executive all year round and had a rich family background. Therefore, he accepted all three treasures and gave Uncle-Master Jiu Wu three jars of Poisonous Dragon Wine.

After consolidating the effects and replenishing his Primordial Energy, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu looked like he was a little weaker than he was more than half a month ago.

Li Changshou had originally thought that he would let that matter rest…

That immortal treasure was a short sword that Li Changshou had given to Ling'e for self-defense.

Li Changshou kept the two superior-grade Dharma treasures for himself. He thought about how he would use them for research when he studied the restrictions of refining later.

Li Changshou set a goal for Ling'e for the internal sect competition-Even if Ling'e took the initiative to expose her true cultivation level, she had to work hard to get into the top 108 places!

Only then would Ling'e receive more attention from the sect.

Li Changshou was now the trump card of Little Qiong Peak. It did not matter whether his junior sister hid it or not.

As long as Ling'e stayed outside, kept her promise, and didn't cause any trouble, everything would be alright. As for Li Changshou himself, he actually did not have many expectations for the internal sect competition. He just needed to make it to the top thirty-six. There was no point in competing

Days passed. The Little Spirit Trees that had been planted at the back of the mountain were growing healthily. The paper effigies had a continuous supply of tree sap.

The old trees that had worked hard and worked hard were also…

chopped off like firewood by Li Changshou.

After all, they knew too many things. It would be too cruel to kill after they became spirits.

They were currently still trees. It would be fine if they were cut. There would be no pain and they would die peacefully.

Little Aunt-Master had been behaving rather properly for the past few months. She seemed to be afraid of disturbing Li Changshou and Ling'e's cultivation.

The two of them might be the disciples with the most stable mentalities in the sect, before the internal sect competition.

When the two of them were free, they would discuss how to help their master overcome his sorrow. Lingle's suggestion was to find a Dao companion for their master. Li Changshou also agreed.

However, Li Changshou also said that they should let nature take its course. They could not rush it.

Just like that, another few months passed by in a hurry. The Immortal Du Sect's peaks would shoot out streams of light every day, and figures would appear endlessly. They were busy preparing for the competition.

This atmosphere was very similar to that of the mortal world during celebrations.

Li Changshou also began to teach Ling'e how to defend herself. He shared some simple tricks with his junior sister so that she could advance more easily.

Among those disciples, Ling'e was the last to enter the sect, but her cultivation level was not the worst.

There was still half a month before the competition. The Heaven-Breaking Peak had already begun to set up the venue. Most of the elders who had been in seclusion all year round had also woken up and were prepared to watch the grand event of the Immortal Du Sect that occurred once every 200 years…

That was not all. The Immortal Du Sect even sent out invitations to the outside world to invite the sects of the East Continent, which had a good relationship with them, as well as the factions under Ren School.

The aura of the Golden Immortal Sect Leader would occasionally appear once or twice.

Li Changshou also missed him. He wondered if the Sect Leader was still vomiting blood…

Originally, Li Changshou had thought that nothing would happen before the competition.

The people of the Immortal Downpour Peak seemed to have forgotten about the Perfected Immortal Kuai Si for the time being. The Immortal Du Sect's surroundings were already stable and no one was plotting against it.

On the Sea God Sect's side, their ferocious development had finally stabilized. The dragon race had also restrained themselves. They did not go head-on with the other factions. They only guarded the merit that they obtained.

Li Changshou had already accumulated quite a lot of merit from incense offerings. He could almost condense a… small fingernail of a Golden Body out of merit…

However, what Li Changshou did not expect was that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had gone to Little Qiong Peak on a cloud and with a bunch of gifts.

The short Daoist priest revealed a meaningful smile when he saw Li Changshou. “Changshou, do you still have any Ambition Pills?”

Li Changshou frowned and said, “Uncle-Master, you shouldn't be running out of those pills…”

“I haven't run out.” Jiu Wu's expression was a little awkward. He set up a sound-proof barrier. “Well, I don't know why Master found out about me and Shi Shi.”

He continued, “Master asked me what happened, so I explained briefly. I didn't say anything about you. I still remember the oath. However, when Master asked me about it at that time, two elders happened to be there. Then, an elder secretly looked for me…

“Changshou, you should know that if you cultivate for too long, your mental state will become dull. The elders also have Dao companions. Naturally, they would be worried about such matters. It's not good for me to turn them down, so I took out the Ambition Pill… Guess what? Heh! It really works!”

Li Changshou could not help but support his forehead with one hand.

He cultivated in Ren School in order to find backing to protect himself so that he could successfully obtain the Longevity Fruit!

I'm not here to operate a medicine hall and sell Ambition Pills. I'm not here to cooperate with some unreliable Great Daoist Masters and create trouble!

Jiu Wu smiled and said, “Changshou, can you still refine the Ambition Pill? What materials do you need? I'll bring them over immediately!”

“No.” Li Changshou shook his head firmly. “These pills are very difficult to refine. There won't be more of them.”

Uncle-Master Jiu Wu looked disappointed and he asked softly, “Really? I'll go back and tell the elders then. Sigh, they had prepared many gifts to thank you. The Mentor Elder had promised that when you become an immortal, you would be rewarded with the next volume of the Inaction Sutra…”

Li Changshou smiled and thought, Am I someone who wavers because of a material object?

Yes.

Li Changshou took out six porcelain bottles from his sleeve and said, “I'll give a single portion to each of the elders. I really don't have more.”

After all, he had to leave some for the spiritual beasts in his spiritual beast enclosure…
