My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 69: Don’t Force Me To Draw My Sword!

Initially, Li Changshou was not used to shifting his consciousness onto the paper effigy.

It was the kind of feeling... where he felt very fragile, light, weak, helpless, vulnerable, and insecure...

However, he was able to get used to it after a while.

After leaving the town, Li Changshou was certain that someone was tailing him. Pretending not to know, he rode a cloud towards the place he had reserved.

Due to the fact that there was an Anti-Five-Element Array formation around Linhai Town, he could not use any escape technique. Therefore, he had to pull some distance away before he could use Earth Escape.

Two of the strange men who had been following him had already rushed up to the spot in front of him and set up some array formations and traps in the forest.

I must have been targeted by those people when I took out the superior-grade Spirit Stones.

Li Changshou thought to himself and felt helpless.

Spirit Stones were considered hard currency in the East Continent and the Central Deity Continent because they had the most uses. Moreover, the Qi cultivators needed them and the production was stable.

However, superior-grade Spirit Stones were usually produced in the core of the spirit meridian. They were rare and precious, and their value was much higher than ordinary Spirit Stones.

The 300-feet dense forest in front should be where they’re attacking.

He had just left the boundary of the Anti-Five-Element Array, which was where he could use the Earth Escape...

They had obviously planned this meticulously.

The combat ability of the paper effigy was debatable, and its defense was definitely inferior. It was only as strong as a cultivator who was at the Void Return Stage.

However, he had instilled his immortal power into it. He could directly cast powerful Dharma spells...

The place was quite close to the town Although it was remote, the strong Primordial Energy fluctuations would definitely attract the attention of many Qi cultivators.

Furthermore, the paper effigy had expended too much immortal power and was prone to being unable to go home because he was deprived.

The paper effigy had a third of his assets.

Even though he had paper effigy No. 2 and No. 3 as backups, it was best not to lose anything...

He had to end the battle quickly and not let the other party touch him!

The closer he got to the traps set up by the other party, the more he felt that they were looking at him.

He did not feel alarmed because his main body wasn’t there.

Li Changshou looked at the diamond-shaped gemstone hanging on his waist, which was the second product of his refinement that he was satisfied with. It was the Sensing Stone.

The first product that he was satisfied with was the Soul-Bewitching Pearl.

In the past six years, apart from adding restrictions like ‘Mind Entrust’ and ‘Stable Immortality’ to the paper effigies, he had also created that pearl.

The gem was purple-red in color, which meant that three immortal senses and spiritual senses were locked onto him.

In the forest in front, the two figures hiding behind the trees were keeping their guards up.

There was another person hiding behind the clouds in the sky. He seemed to be passing by, but he maintained the same speed and was going in the same direction as Li Changshou...

So brazen?

The town was indeed chaotic. There were many itinerant cultivators and there were no rules outside the town.

He was still a thousand feet away from the enemy’s trap...

500 feet...

100 feet...

Li Changshou suddenly realized something and mumbled, “I forgot to buy something.”

He then turned around and was about to leave the town.

Suddenly, a ray of light fell from above. Two figures appeared from behind and in front of him respectively. They rushed towards Li Changshou, and the light from the treasure in their hands flickered!

The corners of Li Changshou’s lips twitched slightly. However, he immediately acted as his expression changed drastically as he plunged into the forest.

“You! Who are you!”

It was a close call. A three-feet-long square seal landed right in front of him!

The wind blew, causing Li Changshou’s long hair to dance wildly!

As soon as he landed, five figures rushed towards him from behind.

Li Changshou took two steps back and gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

He shouted, “Wait! We can talk!”

The five of them did not stop at all. The two of them used their techniques and threw treasures at Li Changshou.

Li Changshou’s eyes widened. He pulled the sword on his back out by three inches. Wisps of colorless powder were activated by his immortal power and floated towards the five of them.

With exquisite footwork, he dodged the incoming Dharma treasures, Dharma spells, and talismans, looking rather pathetic.

The assassin with the highest cultivation level in the sky opened his left palm and aimed it at Li Changshou.

A mysterious wave appeared around Li Changshou, and his movements slowed down.

The treasure seal was smashed downwards once again!

The aura around Li Changshou’s body trembled. He revealed his Essence Immortal cultivation level and forcefully pushed away the ripples around him. Once again, he avoided the seal by a close shave!

There was anger in his eyes. He growled, “Don’t force me to attack with the sword!”

In the air, the middle-aged Daoist, whose cultivation level was at the early-stage of Perfected Immortal Realm, laughed coldly. He put away the seal before throwing it at Li Changshou’s forehead again.

The four of them used their Dharma spells and divine powers again to seal the corner that Li Changshou was retreating towards...

In the Primordial world, smashing someone else with a brick was a form of assault that had prevailed for a long time.

All of a sudden, the Dao Requital cultivator who had the weakest cultivation level among them, shouted in a trembling voice, “Little...”

The few of them looked over and at the same time, their vision became blurry.

The Perfected Immortal who was in the air turned pale. Just as he was about to turn around and fly away, he staggered and fell from the sky!

The four people on the ground fell even faster, and they instantly lied on the ground in the forest.

Li Changshou waved his left hand, and the Sky Treasure Umbrella rose in the sky, forming an isolation array formation.

Li Changshou, who had been grabbing the hilt of his sword, stopped in his tracks. He suddenly rushed forward and finally pulled out his long... sword?

It was not a sword!

Half of the sword was at the bottom of the hilt. The sword blade had no edge, but the tip of the sword was made of seven Dharma treasure ropes!

Li Changshou swung the strange sword, and the rope on it instantly lengthened. It was like Qi Yuan’s whisk. In the blink of an eye, he had tied up the Perfected Immortal who had yet to land on the ground!

Li Changshou casually pulled the rope and the five figures instantly gathered in front of him!

At the same time, three paper effigies jumped out from Li Changshou’s sleeve. Before they landed on the ground, they turned into three sullen-faced old Daoists.

Paper Effigy No. 1 took out a Demon-Suppressing Wooden Fish while Paper Effigy No. 2 held onto a Soul-Conquering Golden Bell and took out two cans of Immortal-Incinerating Powder. Paper Effigy No. 3 acted like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey...

They landed in front of Li Changshou and Paper Effigy No. 2 immediately sprinkled the Immortal-Burning Powder. Paper Effigy No. 3 took away their storage Dharma treasures.

A few balls of True Samadhi Flames darted out of Li Changshou’s palm and reached between the five of them.

The flames instantly expanded...

The wooden fish sounded, the bell rang, and the chant sounded.

Li Changshou’s gaze was fixed in the direction of the town. He noticed that there seemed to be some people looking in his direction, but no one came over.

He scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and was on guard. The Soul-Bewitching Pearls that he threw out began to rotate rapidly, absorbing the souls of five people at once.

Ever since he counterattacked, there was only a pile of ashes left in front of him. It had not even been ten minutes.

Li Changshou activated the Earth Escape technique and stabbed the sword back into the scabbard on his back. The paper effigies jumped back into his sleeve one after another.

The few pieces of Dharma treasures on the ground that had been half-destroyed by the True Samadhi Flames were also stored in a treasure pouch that was especially used for storing trash.

At the final step, Li Changshou’s sleeves trembled. The ashes drifted in the wind and transformed into nutrients for the plants and vegetation.

After retracting the improved Sky Treasure Umbrella, he stepped into the quicksand on the ground, and his figure flew towards the north.

The people who were investigating the place only managed to catch a glimpse of his back view as he left, as well as the words he muttered to himself...

“I told you not to force me to draw my sword.”

This sword cultivator is so powerful...

...

Li Changshou thought to himself that the paper effigies’ immortal power reserves were still quite rich. Hence, he first traveled 10,000 kilometers to the north, then turned to the east and took a stroll before returning to the Immortal Du Sect.

The situation was really dangerous...

Fortunately, the Perfected Immortal was careless and underestimated his opponent. He was used to using Dharma treasures to attack others. Before he could unleash much of his strength, he was defeated by the poisonous powder that he had released.

Now, Li Changshou already had a drug that could replace the Soft Immortal Disperser— Soul Intoxication Powder.

There were a total of six types of poisonous powder that were released when he drew his sword. When the Perfected Immortal fell from the sky, half of his body was already dead. In the end, he was engulfed by the True Samadhi Flames. His Primordial Spirit was still trembling.

If I was that careless, I would have died.

Li Changshou sighed and gave himself a warning.

He won and felt the joy of getting their assets for no reason.

There was actually nothing to be happy about. After all, the fact that he was being targeted by others, meant that he was still not steady enough and was too reckless.

I shall go back and write a reflection letter. Next time, I’ll ask Master to come out for a few more days.

However...

Looking at the treasure pouches in his sleeve, which were filled with spiritual herbs, poisonous herbs, and young spiritual beasts, he reckoned that he would be busy for three to five years.

He wanted to become rich!

He wanted to have more money to protect Dao!

Li Changshou rushed all the way back to the forest at the time that he had settled on.

The paper effigy quickly placed the square box inside the soil. He looked at his Sensing Stone and realized that it was glistening a little.

Li Changshou soon found his master, who was hiding five kilometers away, and sent a voice transmission. “Master, please retract your immortal senses.”

Qi Yuan, who was curiously sizing up the paper effigy, immediately responded and retracted his immortal senses.

The diamond-shaped immortal stone was no longer shining.

The paper effigy slowly shrugged his shoulders and mumbled, “Little... Little... Little...”

Wisps of immortal light surrounded the thickened paper effigy which reappeared again. The small cloth bag on its shoulder was bulging. It nimbly jumped into the box and put on the lid.

“Alright, Master. Take back the box. Just pretend that nothing happened and return to the mountain. Next time, let’s find a suitable reason to come out for a walk.”

The old Daoist priest Qi Yuan chuckled. He rode a cloud and took away the square box.

Li Changshou’s conscious returned to his original body in the Pill Chamber. He immediately heaved a long sigh of relief.

That feeling of being fragile, helpless, weak, and pitiful finally disappeared.

The main body is still the most comfortable... and safe.

...

What exactly will Senior Changshou like?

In the Heaven-Breaking Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, not far from where the Jiuyi Jiu Xian lived, was a cave abode on a rock wall.

The exterior of the cave abode looked ordinary, but the interior was very exquisite.

As soon as he entered the cave abode, he found himself in an elegant ‘Hall’. On his left, he could see a ten-feet-long lotus pond. The bottom of the pond was covered in spiritual jade. The water in the pond emitted a bright glow and there were one or two carps under the lotus leaves.

On the right was a spacious guest room. There were meditation cushions, seats, and a partition. There were curtains on both sides, and there were murals of mountains and rivers on the walls.

As he continued to explore, he discovered that there were two forks. One of them led to the owner of the abode, where the Perfected Immortal Jiang Jingshan cultivated and lived.

The other led to the room of Youqin Xuanya, Jiang Jingshan’s personal disciple. She was the head disciple of the younger generation of the Immortal Du Sect.

Youqin Xuanya, who had just woken up from her Dao Enlightenment state, was thinking about a question...

Master had previously said that exchanging gifts is an effective method for improving friendships.

She wanted to give Senior Changshou a present and also wanted to receive a gift from him. That could prove that he treated her as a ‘friend’.

Friends needed to constantly communicate and improve their friendship. A friendship where they could talk about everything was something that Youqin Xuanya yearned for.

Unfortunately, she still... didn’t have a single friend.

My cultivation level is not high, so I only have the Earth Escape technique. If others find out, I’m afraid I will become a laughing stock.

Earth Escape.

Youqin Xuanya blinked her eyes. As her eyelashes fluttered, she had already thought of something.

She turned around and walked towards the wardrobe.

The furnishings in the room were actually very simple, but the furniture was made of extraordinary materials.

She took out a jewelry box from the wardrobe. As soon as she opened it, it shone brightly, and she could see many spiritual lights flashing.

They were all rewards that her parents had given her before she went to the Immortal Du Sect to seek immortality.

Although the mortal world in the Southern Continent was currently a chaotic place, the karma between the human emperors was too great. No Qi cultivators dared to interfere with the lives of the emperors.

However, that did not stop the emperors from using various methods to obtain the Qi Refinement technique.

Almost half of the human emperors in the mortal world had methods to increase their lifespans. Youqin Kingdom was a classic example of a place where immortals and mortals co-existed. From the emperor to the generals, all of them had cultivation levels that were comparable to a small immortal.

Youqin Xuanya searched the jewelry box for a while and soon picked up a yellow pearl.

It was not a Dharma treasure, but a pearl formed from spirit meridians. It contained the pure power of the Five Elements of Earth. Although it was not a valuable treasure, it had a certain effect on earth-type Dharma spells.

The Earth Escape technique was also ordinary.

Such heaven-made pearls were hundreds of times more precious than Dharma treasures and Dharma artifacts that offered the same effect.

“Will Senior think that the gift is too insignificant?”

Youqin Xuanya pondered for a while before making a decision. She took out a small brocade box and placed the pearl inside.

After some thought, she took out another brocade handkerchief and hesitated for an hour before writing something on it – “For you, Senior Changshou.”

After covering the pearl with the square handkerchief, she closed the brocade box. She pursed her lips and smiled. Even her footsteps were much lighter.
