Chapter 81: Caused By A Ceramic Bottle…

“Here?”

“Yes, move the Qian position another three inches. The base of the array should face south, and six feet and three inches underground.”

“I’ve found it… ah… hey!”

Three months after Jiu Jiu came out of seclusion, three figures were getting busy outside the Pill Chamber on the Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou commanded, and Ling’e supported him.

Jiu Jiu, on the other hand, was multitasking. She was in charge of suppressing the spiritual energy in the array formation, controlling the fluctuations of the array formations in various places, checking the positions of the bases of the array formations, and covering the refined ones with immortal power. She then slowly buried them underground…

Nothing should go wrong during this process. 

After setting down the foundation of the array formation, Jiu Jiu let out a long breath and leaned against the tree trunk while panting heavily…

“How many more?”

Li Changshou took a look at his treasure pouch. There were still about one-third of array formations left, which amounted to about sixty.

However…

He only wanted Jiu Jiu to help him in name and wanted for her to remember the experience deeply. He did not actually need her to set up all the array foundations…

In reality, most of the array foundations he had set up this time had to be slightly adjusted later.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “There are only three left. Thank you, Aunt-Master.”

When she heard that there were only three more to go, Jiu Jiu’s eyes were filled with relief like she had just survived a calamity.

“Finally, it’s been a few months. I’m almost done.”

Standing at the side, Ling’e could tell from Li Changshou’s expression that he was deep in thought.

Senior Brother can already set up the array without Little Aunt-Master’s help?

Jiu Jiu took out a Spirit Wine Pill. With a few cracking sounds, she became energetic again!

“Settle them in one go!”

Jiu Jiu jumped up and rushed to the next place where the array formation had to be buried.

Ling’e straightened her hair and chuckled. She picked up her bamboo basket and quickly followed.

“Little Aunt-Master, have some fruits and get some rest.”

“Little Ling’e is so considerate, unlike your senior who does nothing but order me around and make me do work for him!”

“Senior is just sparing a thought for the safety of Little Qiong Peak. Thank you, Little Aunt-Master. Let me massage your shoulders…”

“Ah, to the left… We both have hard lives.”

As they laughed, Ling’e and Jiu Jiu walked away from the forest.

Li Changshou slowly followed them. He pondered about activating the array formation and perfecting the theory of the Chain Array.

They worked for another half a day.

At sunset, the remaining three array foundations were finally settled.

Jiu Jiu acted like she was a completely different person. She was in high spirits. She pulled Ling’e along and called Li Changshou to go to the straw hut to have a game of ‘Battle The Almighty!’

Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart. The array formation had to be fine-tuned in detail for quite some time, so he was not in a hurry.

When he walked out of the forest, Li Changshou suddenly had a sudden urge.

This is…

Li Changshou looked at his Aunt-Master and junior who were jumping around in front of him. He retracted his right hand into his sleeve and immediately pinched his fingers to calculate. Very quickly, he understood something.

The pill in the porcelain bottle that he had given Jiu Wu had been taken out!

The porcelain bottle was naturally not an ordinary porcelain bottle. It was a Dharma artifact that could store immortal pills and preserve medicinal properties.

Li Changshou had tampered with it by adding two restrictions, and put a wisp of his spiritual senses into it.

As long as the pills inside were taken out, he would detect something!

What is going on…

Did Uncle-Master Jiu Wu use the ‘Corrosive Immortal Soul-Converging Pill’ because he’s in danger?

Or could Uncle-Master Jiu Wu have taken out the pill to show it to others?

Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that the bottle had shattered on its own…

Although Uncle-Master Jiu Wu is sometimes unreliable, he had always been cautious when he was outside.

Otherwise, the sect would not have given him the important task of preparing and organizing the Three Sects Assembly, because he would have to be careful and not offend others…

There is most likely to be something wrong with Uncle-Master Jiu Wu.

The Middle Continent is too far away from this place. I can’t do anything immediately either. 

Li Changshou immediately had an idea…

He shouted, “Aunt-Master Jiu!”

“Eh? What’s wrong? Come over and have fun! Hehehehe!”

Li Changshou coughed and spoke to Jiu Jiu seriously.

After hearing his words, Jiu Jiu and Ling’e’s expressions changed.

Weird…

Jiu Jiu asked in disbelief, “Really?”

“Of course.” Li Changshou nodded solemnly.

“Well.” Jiu Jiu could not help but blink. She raised her hand and pinched her thin earlobe. “You dreamed that my Fifth Senior Brother was in danger yesterday? He was being chased by seven or eight burly, bear-like people?”

“That’s right,” Li Changshou said with a serious expression. “After thinking about it today, I can’t stop feeling worried. As a Qi Refinement cultivator, my senses should be telling me something.”

Jiu Jiu frowned and whispered, “But you…”

“If Fifth Senior Brother is in trouble, the person dreaming of him should be my Fourth Senior Sister. Or, it could also be me. If I dream of him… that’d be reasonable. After all, Fifth Senior Brother had always treated me like he was my brother and father….”

“Why… did you dream of Senior Brother? What’s going on!?!”

“Uncle-Master Jiu Wu and I are also considered good friends and close confidantes.” Li Changshou smiled bitterly. “Let’s not dwell on the details.

“There should be a way to contact Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. Aunt-Master, are you willing to believe me for once?”

“Of course I believe you.”

Jiu Jiu said seriously, “Otherwise, we wouldn’t take everything that you give us.”

Ling’e turned her head to the side. She knew that Li Changshou was talking about serious matters, and hence she held back her laughter.

“Aunt-Master, please take this matter seriously,” Li Changshou said. “I rarely dream. There are a few instances that have been very accurate.”

Jiu Jiu hesitated a little and said softly, “But we’re going to disturb Fourth Senior Sister’s seclusion just because of your dream… Okay, I’ll try waking her up.”

Li Changshou added, “Please tell her that it was what you saw in your dream.”

“Why? Are you afraid of being scolded?”

“I’m not afraid of being scolded. I’m just afraid of being misunderstood… Besides, I really don’t want to attract any attention from the sect.”

Jiu Jiu scoffed and chided, “You’re making it sound as if everyone wants to stare at you! I’ll go and call for Fourth Senior Sister now. Wait for me here!”

“When I come back, we’ll continue playing ‘Fighting The God’!”

Li Changshou and Ling’e agreed at the same time. Jiu Jiu yawned and flew away with the huge gourd.

Just as Jiu Jiu left, Ling’e walked over with her hands behind her back. She knocked her slender shoulders lightly against Li Changshou.

“Senior Brother, are you serious?”

“About what?”

“Your dream about Uncle-Master Jiu Wu being chased by a few burly men.”

“Of course the dream wasn’t real.”

Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes as he said, “However, it might be real that he’s in trouble.”

“Go back and pack your luggage. Bring all your useful items with you.”

Ling’e was stunned. “What’s wrong, Senior Brother?”

“Just in case.” Li Changshou’s eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a glint in his eyes. “Everything has to be prepared in advance.”

Lan Ling’e pursed her lips and blinked. She lowered her head and expressed assent before rushing to her straw hut.

…

The message that Li Changshou revealed caused a huge commotion in the Immortal Du Sect.

Jiu Jiu returned to the Heaven-Breaking Peak and told Jiu Shi about how Jiu Wu had been chased by a group of strong men.

Even though Jiu Shi had been disturbed during her Dao Enlightenment, she was not unhappy. In front of Jiu Jiu, she took out the ‘Ten Thousand Miles String’ messenger talisman that she had refined with Jiu Wu…

Then…

There was no reply.

Jiu Shi was first stunned, after which she took out a mirror which was a treasure.

It was called the Heartfelt Treasure Mirror. It contained some blood from Jiu Wu’s heart. She could use it to see what Jiu Wu was looking at, just by activating it.

It was an excellent item that was mandatory for checking on one’s Dao companion and being on guard against anyone who might try to come in between their relationship.

However, the mirror did not respond to Jiu Shi’s repeated urgings.

At this moment, Jiu Shi was starting to panic. She quickly pulled Jiu Jiu to seek help from her Master…

In less than an hour, the Heaven-Breaking Peak’s bell was ringing at an anxious pace!

A powerful pressure suddenly appeared on the Heaven-Splitting Peak. A figure shrouded in green light rushed out of the mountain-protecting array formation and darted towards the west!

After a while, four figures rushed out of the mountain-protecting array formation and stood facing all directions.

Among those four people, one of them was Exalted Wang Qing, whom Li Changshou was more familiar with.

At the same time, wisps of Heaven Immortal aura appeared on the various peaks. The elders in the sect were alarmed…

The person who had soared into the sky and flew towards the Middle Continent was the Immortal Du Sect’s…

Sect Leader.

Li Changshou stood in front of the straw hut and carefully tried to detect something for a while. He managed to sense the mysterious Dao runes that were unique to the Golden Immortal realm.

There was indeed a Golden Immortal in the Immortal Du Sect!

Golden Immortals had immortality and their own Dao had already been acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao. If there was no calamity, they could live forever with their Dao.

However, the Golden Immortal realm was an extremely blurry realm. There were obvious differences between Golden Immortals and their abilities varied. They could sometimes be worlds apart.

The Dao Realm was only the foundation that was akin to a ticket to becoming an expert.

Mystical abilities and treasures were the main factors that determined the strength of a Golden Immortal realm.

The Sect Leader who was also a Golden Immortal realm was far from being comparable to the famous twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School.

Moreover, the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan School had made their “grand debut on the Primordial stage” 129,600 years ago. At that time, they were only collectively known as the twelve Golden Immortals.

For people like Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi, who had entered Saint’s tutelage earlier, they should have long reached the realm of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.

The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were considered Golden Immortals that had the intent to achieve perfection in their own Dao. If they could not overcome a small tribulation, they would not be able to escape a great calamity.

Most of the eight outer sect disciples and seven Immortal attendants of the Jie School should be in the Zenith Realm.

As those thoughts flashed through his mind, Li Changshou began to miss his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu…

Jiu Wu was only an Immortal. In the Primordial World, he could not even qualify to be cannon fodder.

If anything were to happen, and he got into a terrible mishap, it would not come as a surprise…

That was how dangerous the Primordial world was.

“Senior Brother, is Uncle-Master Jiu Wu really in trouble?” Ling’e asked worriedly.

“Yes.” Li Changshou said calmly, “You don’t have to worry. If this matter concerns the Three Sects, the Ren School will send experts to protect the Immortal Sect…”

Just as he finished speaking, Jiu Jiu hurried over from the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

Jiu Jiu had yet to land on the ground but she hurriedly yelled at Li Changshou and Ling’e who were standing in front of the straw hut.

“Changshou, Ling’e! Something happened!”

Li Changshou frowned and quickly asked, “What happened? Aunt-Master, speak slowly.”

How could Jiu Jiu slow down?

She said anxiously, “I can’t contact Fifth Senior Brother’s messenger talisman for now. Only one of the other two elders and two executives’ messenger talismans are connected! However, they heard the sounds of a battle!”

“This matter has already alarmed the Sect Leader and several Grand Elders. The Sect Leader has already come out of seclusion and headed to the Middle Continent. We have already contacted the Golden Palace Sect. The Golden Palace Sect has also agreed to send a large number of experts to search…”

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “In that case, there’s no need to be anxious.

“Aunt-Master, go inside and rest. We’re too far away. We can’t help much.”

“How can I not be anxious? I’m dying of anxiety.”

Jiu Jiu stomped her feet and paced around a few times. She then looked at Li Changshou with an apologetic look in her eyes and said softly, “I shouldn’t be rushing you, actually. Thank you, Changshou. If you had not dreamed about it, things would have probably gotten worse.”

Li Changshou sighed and said, “Uncle-Master Jiu Wu and I have a strong relationship. You don’t have to thank me for this matter. However, Aunt-Master, you have to remember to say that you were the one who dreamed of it.”

“Yes, I know…”

Jiu Jiu looked at Li Changshou and mumbled, “Actually, there’s something I want to trouble you with.”

“About what?”

Jiu Jiu frowned and asked, “Can you sleep again? Let’s see if you can dream of what’s going on there.”

“I know that this is a little difficult for you. Dreams depend on your feelings and luck… but…”

Li Changshou immediately nodded and agreed, “Alright, I’ll try to dream of it.”

“Ling’e, accompany Aunt-Master. Don’t let her get too anxious.”

“Thank you, Little Shoushou…”

Jiu Jiu said in a low voice. Her expression was somewhat haggard due to her anxiety.

Li Changshou responded, lowered his head, and walked towards his straw hut. Ling’e held Jiu Jiu’s arm and comforted her softly.

Of course, Li Changshou could not dream of anything. He only went back to his room and lay down on his bed. He calmly analyzed the troubles that the Immortal Du Sect might encounter, as well as the possible ways that the matter would escalate in the future.

To Li Changshou, being worried was the most useless emotion.

He felt that it was worse than being angry and infuriated out of helplessness.

This time, Li Changshou did not expect that he had secretly saved Jiu Wu and the two elders in the sect…

After realizing that the poison pill had been used, Li Changshou quickly informed Jiu Jiu.

Jiu Jiu and Jiu Shi sensed that something might happen to Jiu Wu and immediately informed the sect.

The disciples in the sect had all lost contact with Jiu Wu and reported the matter to the Sect Leader…

The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect came out of seclusion and quickly rushed to the Middle Continent. The Grand Elder also contacted a familiar fellow Daoist from the Golden Palace Sect…

The experts from the Golden Palace Sect had only gone out for a short while when they found a large array that concealed their surroundings a thousand miles away from the Golden Palace Sect. They then found the members of the Immortal Du Sect who had been surrounded.

The few experts rushed forward and captured the people surrounding them and deliberately left some alive. However, the moment those people were captured, their essence soul strangely withered…

The people from the Immortal Du Sect did not know the reason for the appearance of the group of five people. Two Heaven Immortal realm elders were injured. Jiu Wu was also seriously injured. The other two Perfected Immortal realm executives… died.

All three sects were enraged!

It did not matter who died. What was important was that they were getting insulted!

The experts from Ren School immediately stood up and protected Jiu Wu and the others. They swore to investigate the incident of the Immortal Sect being attacked…

When Li Changshou received the news from Jiu Jiu, Jiu Wu and the two elders were already escorted back to the Immortal Du Sect by the Sect Master and other experts.

They had yet to find out who the culprit was.

Li Changshou stood in front of the door of the Pill Chamber and heaved a sigh of relief…

He did not expect those little items that he had created when he occasionally got strange ideas, to really be useful at crucial moments. He decided to make more of them in the future.

Also…

The Earth Meridians Escape Array below the Little Qiong Peak, as well as the safety room, should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
