My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 47

“It's just growing a beard… You scared me.”

Jiu Jiu picked up the wooden ladle and smelled the wine in the jar at the side. She said in lingering fear, “I thought my Yin and Yang would be out of balance, and I would turn into a manly woman.”

Li Changshou laughed softly and shook his head. He had always respected his martial aunt's logical thinking.

“Martial Aunt, after I finish refining this furnace of pills, I will probably be in seclusion from half a year to one year and cultivate the True Samadhi Flames. I have prepared a year's worth of those few kinds of wine for you. However, it won't be good for you if you drink too much of these. You should drink in moderation. It's at the same old place on the shelf at the side of the medicinal wine jar.”

“Half a year?”

Jiu Jiu took those few wine pots and replaced them with a few empty ones. She walked over with her hands at her back and warned him seriously, “Although the True Samadhi Flames can be cultivated at the Void Return Realm, what is needed in the beginning is to burn your essence, Qi, and spirit to condense the fire seedling! Don't rush! Don't cultivate the Dharma spell into deficit essence Qi, and end up losing your essence, Qi, and spirit! That would be horrible!”

Li Changshou nodded his head with a smile and continued to bury his head to separate the herbs.

Jiu Jiu yawned helplessly and mumbled, “I've been stuck in a bottleneck in the past few years. I have problems in breaking through my cultivation level.

“However, I have encountered such situations a few times in the past. After I was stuck at the bottleneck for a few years, I managed to break through for no reason.

“After I break through, I will be entering seclusion for a few years. It might be decades, so you might not see me for a very long time.”

Li Changshou replied with a smile, “Martial Aunt, you've already mainly cultivated the Inaction Sutra, right?”

“Yes.” Jiu Jiu took a bamboo chair over and sat at the side of the table. She rested her head on the table while being bored to death. “When you ascend to an immortal, you can also cultivate the Inaction Sutra. If you have good potential, you can also cultivate it at the Void Return Realm.

“Unfortunately…

“Oh, that's right. I heard Fifth Senior Brother say that your master seems to be starting to achieve enlightenment on the Inaction Sutra.”

“Yes. Two months ago, my master obtained a sutra sent by the sectarian officer within the sect.” Li Changshou casually said, “Actually, given your attitude, you're most suitable to cultivate the Inaction Sutra.”

Jiu Jiu blinked her eyes. “Little Changshou, you're saying the same thing as my master.”

Li Changshou replied, “Previously, Martial Uncle Jiu Wu had also given me Volume One of the Inaction Sutra. Aren't these words from the sutra?”

“I see,” Jiu Jiu murmured to herself and quietly watched Li Changshou sort out the herbs at the side. Unconsciously, she got lost in thoughts…

A moment later.

“Little Shoushou… you're actually pretty good-looking… Hehehe… Why did I not realize that in the past?”

“Eh?”

Li Changshou, who had prepared for alchemy, turned his head. He found that his martial aunt had fallen asleep on the table and was mumbling in her sleep.

After Immortal Ascension, her immortal body was still pure. Although his martial aunt did not tidy up her mid-length hair all year round, it was still smooth and shiny black.

She had a phoenix tail braid without any head ornaments, and she did not put on any cosmetics. She gave people the feeling that she was simple and pure.

His martial aunt, who had fallen into a deep sleep, could be described as having good skin and a clear mind.

Unfortunately, she was too lively when asleep.

Li Changshou shook his head with a smile and walked out of the Pill Chamber quietly. He looked at the little spiritual fish he had raised in the pond, which was shaped like Yin-Yang fish, and waited for Jiu Jiu to take a breather and wake up.

After all, he had something to ask her. He could not be too harsh on his martial aunt, as he wanted to use her pure immortal powers for alchemy.

After two days, Li Changshou was done with refining pills and temporarily sealed up the Pill Chamber. Then, he activated the array formations within 1.5 kilometers of the Pill Chamber.

After he sent Jiu Jiu away, he went to find Lan Ling'e to tell her about his seclusion.

Li Changshou was going to condense the fire seedling of the True Samadhi Flames during his seclusion this time, which would take him around half a year.

Lan Ling'e, who was dressed in a loose training attire and analyzing the technique of spreading medicine, was suddenly somewhat bewildered.

“Senior Brother, are you not entering seclusion in the Pill Chamber?”

“It's easy to cause the place to explode while cultivating the True Samadhi Flames,” Li Changshou replied with a smile. “I will do a wooden raft later on and enter seclusion in the middle of the lake. That would be better.”

Lan Ling'e blinked and wanted to say something but hesitated.

Li Changshou put a few porcelain bottles in her hands and told her about the usage and dosage of those bottles of pills.

With her mind constantly pondering, Lan Ling'e still asked softly, “Senior Brother, you don't need to… hide the True Samadhi Flames?

“Isn't that Dharma spell very formidable?”

Li Changshou knocked on his junior sister's head, with naturally not much force.

Despite facing each other, Li Changshou still explained carefully to her by voice transmission, “You've not had my lessons in the past few years. Have you forgotten what I've taught you? The True Samadhi Flames were bestowed by the master of Jiu Wu and Jiu Jiu. If I hide it and don't use it, the others will have more doubts. It's considered a trump card if the others cannot imagine, guess, or think of any information exposed based on your daily life, rather than just talking about its power.”

Lan Ling'e stuck her tongue out and learned obediently with her head lowered.

Li Changshou took another two porcelain bottles and sent a voice transmission. “Place these two bottles of pills in front of our master's house. These are the immortal pills for him to refine, and they have cleansing effects. Don't try them secretly. You will explode from the medicinal effect of the immortal pills.”

Lan Ling'e was happy right away. “Then after Master eats them, wouldn't he…”

“It'll be hard.” Li Changshou shook his head and sighed lightly. He wandered to the forest and was prepared to create the wooden rafts that he would be using later on.

Lan Ling'e opened the jade bottle to smell it, and pure essence Qi rushed forth.

She took a breath lightly and felt heavy in her head. She returned to her house while feeling dizzy and quickly mediated to dispel the medicinal effect.

Li Changshou laughed softly upon seeing that. He found an old forest, pulled up his sleeves, and started going all out.

Two days later…

“What's that sound?”

Lan Ling'e, who had just awakened from her meditation, got up to look outside the window. She opened her mouth and took a few breaths before she felt helpless…

‘I will do a small wooden raft later on.'

When Lan Ling'e recalled what her senior brother had said and looked at the big, ‘simple' 500-feet tower ship that had just been launched on the lake, she could not help slap her forehead.

What had her senior brother misunderstood regarding the size?

Lan Ling'e lowered her head to look at the curve on her training attire, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

‘Stupid Senior Brother, he actually… lost the concept of size thanks to Martial Aunt Jiu Jiu!'

Actually, Li Changshou was not someone who emphasized pleasure. He put more importance on usability when he created some fun things.

The small wooden raft was just formed simply by wood, and there were no restrictions. In terms of the difficulty in making it, it was indeed just a gadget.

The place where he would enter seclusion had to have a simple warning array, isolation array, and anti-probe array. He needed some space to place and hide the base of these array formations.

Apart from that, he still had some plans up his sleeves.

The two-floor-high tower ship had a total of seven rooms of similar sizes, with each room interconnected and placed with a cushion.

After he later entered seclusion and activated the surrounding array formations, he would also place a few paper dolls in each room.

If someone came into contact with the array formations, the paper dolls' restrictions would be activated right away and transform into his own figure, which would be enough to pass off as genuine!

That was simply a necessity to avoid being plotted against!

Unfortunately, such a design was still not perfect. He would still have a one-seventh chance of being stabbed to death.

“Ling'e, I'm going to start seclusion now.”

After receiving Li Changshou's voice transmission, Li Changshou quickly walked to the door and waved her hand at him, who was standing on the tower ship.

When Li Changshou conjured a seal with both hands, layers of array formations on the wooden raft were activated, covering a huge area of the lake below. The little wooden raft became fuzzier under the layers of light.

In a short while, a lot of white mists emerged on the surface of the water. Lan Ling'e could no longer see where her senior brother was.

Li Changshou put paper dolls in each room and secretly went to a cabin room. He fumbled to set up an array formation in the corner and opened a secret compartment, where the clear lake water was underneath…

After conjuring a seal, he used his Illusion Spell to transform into a spiritual fish, entered the water without a sound, and swam towards the bottom of the water that had been shrouded by layers of array formations, leaving only seven paper dolls in each cabin room.

He had made such a huge wooden raft because he wanted to let these few layers of array formations cover the underwater.

It was Li Changshou's third seclusion place at the bottom.

When his master had brought little Ling'e up the mountain in the past, he had also entered seclusion here and achieved initial success in condensing the Cold Nether Fire.

In the Five Elements, water was able to restrain fire. It was actually an exceptional technique to prevent self-explosion caused by the convergence of too much fire when cultivating a fire spell underwater.

However… a small part of the Little Qiong Peak, which used to be green and lush, was suddenly bare.

The East Ocean, Crystal Palace.

“How dare you, Ao Yi!

“How dare you spout nonsense and disrespect your elders! You have disgraced the prestige of the race, and defamed the honor of the race!

“Do… Do you know what kind of offense this is!”

In the spacious, empty palace of the second prince, the young Ao Yi from the dragon race had been tied to an iron pillar by chains. He closed his eyes tightly and vaguely heard the scoldings at the side of his ear.

He sneered and endured the pain on his back, still looking very firm.

Ao Yi now felt that this Crystal Palace was very absurd and incomparably ridiculous.

When he had stood at the celebration feast on the other day, he faced his father and said, “I want to become a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect and cultivate like the Saint of the Three Schools!”

That shock, disbelief, and change in expression of the dragon's head…

Those ridiculous scoldings due to his disgraceful behavior and disgrace brought upon the dragon race…

The aura rushing forth from those dragon experts crushed his 10-year-old body on the spot!

The ones who had scolded him on that day were either his father's brothers or the older dragons. They had the right to scold this nephew of theirs.

Those chancellors of those races of the ocean and those generals of the dragon race without the bloodline of the Dragon King had also not dared to utter a word. However, they shot him a contemptuous look.

When he had gone to pay respect to the Saints, he had been regarded as disgraceful.

When he had gone out to become a disciple and cultivate, he had been regarded as a rebel of the dragon race.

This was ridiculous, really ridiculous…

“This is extremely ridiculous!” Ao Yi could not help but berate with a painful look on his delicate face.

Ice-cold force appeared on the iron pillar behind his back, and icicles pierced through his fair, clear, and smooth back, causing Ao Yi to tremble from the pain.

However, he still had a sober gaze, and his determination did not vanish at all!

A few moments ago, his mother had just left and persuaded him to admit his mistakes early…

“My son, are the skills from our race not enough for you to learn? Are the treasures from our race not enough for you to play with?

“Why did you have to do such absurd things, and even say those absurd words before so many uncles of our race?

“You want to join the Saints, but did you know that they don't take in disciples from the dragon race except for the Jie School?

“That Chan School's master had taken in an illegitimate dragon as his disciple in the past. He had used his treasures to strip away the last destiny from the dragon race and placed them on his disciple.

“How can our race forget such a humiliation?

“My son, who has confused you?'

How could Ao Yi not understand these words from his mother and know the truth?

One of the 12 Golden Immortals of the Chan School, Perfected Yellow Dragon, was clearly a bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon. Back then, he had only been seriously injured and landed in the Kunlun Mountains. He had been cared for by the Three Pure Ones, who had yet to become Saints, and became an ornamental dragon of the Three Pure Ones.

Before the Ancient Saint had appeared, the dragon race had treated that as a disgrace. They had severed all ties with Perfected Yellow Dragon and even removed his name from the Dragon Registry.

Afterward, the Three Pure Ones had become Saints. The dragon race had not been able to put down their dignity to curry favor with Perfected Yellow Dragon. Instead, they had started to spread rumors within the race and called him an illegitimate dragon.

As for the so-called Saints did not take in disciples of the dragon race…

After the Three Pure Ones had become Saints, a group of experts from the dragon race had brought the young dragon forward to be a disciple at the Golden Turtle Island and were very respectful to the Saints.

However, they had heard that the Grandmaster of Heaven took in the least disciples. He had only allowed the most outstanding disciples of the dragon race to become disciples of the Saints. They had not become a disciple of the Saints directly. The experts of the dragon race had turned back and felt that the Saints were humiliating them…

What kind of absurdity was that?

This was absurd!

Ao Yi trembled lightly all over, and the light on the iron pillar on his back gradually weakened.

‘I, Ao Yi, have to endure this.'

Only he, the Second Prince of the Dragon King, could completely become humble and a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, which had a rank in the middle of the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools…

Even if he knelt before the Immortal Du Sect and became an in-name disciple… could he break through the pointless arrogance of the dragon race and tear apart their twisted self-esteem!

If these humiliations still could not awaken the dead-drunk dragon race, then he would stand on the peak of all spirits as a Saint!

At that time, he would ask these ancient elders… what was the way out for the dragon race!?

After taking a breath, Ao Yi opened his mouth and screamed, “Let me out! I want to see my father! I want to go to the Immortal Du Sect, and become a disciple and learn the Dao!”

A group of maidservants outside the hall felt sorry for him on their teary, delicate faces. However, they were stopped by the flood dragon troops and could not go near the Second Prince.
