Chapter 126 I Learned It, I Learned It
“Are you lost?”
Creak, creak...
The wooden tablet swayed gently, and a gentle breeze blew.
A group of neat-looking immortals stood in front of the swaying wooden sign. The atmosphere... was a little awkward.
They naturally did not use their immortal powers to forcefully blow and disperse the array formations there. They were all important figures. How could they do something so embarrassing?
No one knew who laughed first but soon after, the experts put their hands behind their backs and laughed confidently.
Outside the array formation, Li Changshou, Ao Yi, and Jiu Wu were standing in a line. Ao Yi smiled.
He heard the voice of Heavenly Lord Qin Wan from Golden Ao Island.
“The arrangement of this place can be considered wonderful. By making use of the linkage of the array formation’s foundations, we can change the array formations that were similar to each other, chain after chain, array formation after array formation. The only way to break through them is to forcefully blow the array formations apart... Not to mention, the person who set up the array formations here does not have a high cultivation level, and the array foundations he had laid are not powerful enough. Hence, the array formation can be easily blown apart. If I were to refine such array foundations and use this method to set them up, even the Golden Immortals would be trapped. Amazing, it’s indeed wonderful, hahaha!”
Li Changshou, who was outside the array formation, did not feel any emotions when he heard that.
It would be a joke if the prestigious and established Golden Immortals of Jie School could not see through such a simple setup.
Similarly, Li Changshou did not feel any joy after being praised. Instead, he was rather glad.
He was glad that his Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra had withstood the gazes of the ones at the Golden Immortal realm...
From this point of view, the matter today is not without any benefits.
That confirmed that his decision to hide his aura was not wrong.
If he could not avoid the Three Sects’ Meet, the improvement of that technique would be much easier.
After sensing for a while, he realized that a group of old immortals was walking slowly in the array formation. They were constantly commenting and discussing the Dao of the array formations. All of them looked like they had made some gains...
What could they see? What could they gain?
These are essentially Perfected-Immortal-level Bewitching Arrays and trapping arrays. Huh?
Li Changshou was suddenly inspired and it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed across his heart. He turned to look at Jiu Wu, and his eyes suddenly widened. Uncle-Master Jiu Wu shuddered. “Changshou, why are you looking at me? Why do you look so scary?” “Nothing, nothing.” Li Changshou immediately adjusted his expression, but his heart was in turmoil.
I almost forgot that these ten Heavenly Lords are also going to be famous figures on the God roll in the future!
The ten Heavenly Lords are best at setting up the Ten Absolute Arrays!
In the future Great God-Conferment War, the ten Heavenly Lords would be considered important figures who had entered Jie School during the mid-stages, which were considered earlier. They would set up the Ten Absolute Arrays and kill some cannon fodders from Chan School. Then, they would be destroyed by Chan School.
At the same time, it was because the ten Heaven Monarchs were defeated one after another and the Ten Absolute Arrays were broken one after another that Zhao Gongming, the outer sect disciple, was lured out and pushed the Great God-Conferment War to the climax.
All of that had nothing to do with Li Changshou...
But if...
If...
If Heavenly Lord Qin was inspired by the small array formations that he had set up casually and decided to upgrade the Ten Absolute Arrays into a series of Chain Arrays, they would really be able to defeat the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
By then... it will have nothing to do with me, a disciple of Ren School... right?
Li Changshou could not help but support his forehead with one hand.
He suddenly wanted to bring his master and junior sister along, find an opportunity to sneak to the Heavenly Courts, and yell, “The Sea God of the South Ocean is here to seek refuge!”
No, if I really anger the Saint, the Jade Emperor would not be able to protect me. I can only cozy up to the Grand Pure One...
This is really an unexpected calamity.
Li Changshou was being worried when he heard the Sect Leader, Daoist Wuyou’s voice transmission.
“Changshou, *coughs*... Let’s break the array...”
Li Changshou quickly stabilized his mental state and broke the array formation.
The group of old immortals laughed loudly and walked out of the array formation.
Fortunately, they did not investigate the place in detail. They only took a simple stroll and did not find any array foundations that had yet to be activated.
The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, Daoist Wuyou, walked at the front. He pointed at Li Changshou and smiled warmly.
“The small array formations here were set up by this disciple.”
Ao Yi and Jiu Wu immediately retreated to the sides and caused Li Changshou to be revealed. The two of them had a tacit understanding.
Immediately, all eyes were on him.
Li Changshou’s body tensed up as he bowed slightly. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he looked nervous. The immortal power in his body was like a pool of stagnant water. The Dao Requital realm Dharma powers that he simulated were also circulating slightly quickly...
Fortunately, the gazes were gradually shifted away and they did not see anything. He heard a series of praises about the teachings of Ren School being indeed extraordinary and that the prestigious teachers had taught their disciples well.
They said that Li Changshou would definitely become a competent person in the future. Ten thousand years later, they would have another great talent in array formations...
With his Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra, he managed to pull through the second wave of scrutiny by the Golden Immortals, but Li Changshou could not bring himself to be happy.
If he really changed the direction of the Great God-Conferment War because of what happened today, it would be huge karma!
If the Saint were to deduce, he would not be able to escape!
Yet...
Hearing that, Heavenly Lord Qin smiled and said, “Sect Leader Wuyou, I would like to use a few treasures to exchange for the array formations here. I would like to take them back and fiddle with them with my siblings. Is that okay?”
No! Of course not!
Hurry up and say that this is a secret of Ren School!
Li Changshou screamed in his heart.
Unfortunately, the “empty” Sect Leader, Ji Wuyou, could not hear Li Changshou’s thoughts. He waved his hand and said, “Don’t mention treasures. It’s just simple methods used to deal with the array foundations.”
He called, “Changshou.”
Li Changshou hesitated and whispered, “I’m here...”
Jiu Wu said that Li Changshou was shocked. He then stood up righteously and said, “Sect Leader, Changshou has already given the method for linking array foundations to the sect.”
“Oh?” Ji Wuyou smiled and squinted. He looked at Li Changshou and found him to be more and more pleasing to the eye. He even had the thought of taking him in as a disciple. “I’ll take it later and give it to Senior Qin!”
Jiu Wu immediately agreed.
Qin Wan smiled and said, “I can’t receive the benefit for nothing. Otherwise, my Dao heart will not be at ease.”
As he spoke, Qin Wan took out a white jade flute from his sleeve. The jade flute was glowing, and there was a glistening spiritual glow on it. Wisps of green light surrounded it. However, it was a spiritual treasure that was of superior quality and spirituality. In fact, it could barely reach the threshold of a Postnatal numinous treasure!
Qin Wan handed the white jade flute to Ji Wuyou and smiled. “Sect Master Wuyou, please don’t decline. Otherwise, I will feel unhappy.”
Ji Wuyou smiled and took the white jade flute from Li Changshou. He wrapped it with immortal power and handed it to Li Changshou.
He urged, “Aren’t you going to thank Senior Qin for the treasures?”.
Li Changshou held the white jade flute with both hands and said in a low voice, “Thank you for the treasure, Senior.”
Then, the Sect Leader smiled and said, “Little Wu, go and obtain the method for refining the array foundations and give Changshou 300 years’ worth of monthly allowance. It’s a reward from the sect. From now on, the array formations in the sect will be free for Changshou’s use. Changshou, if you lack the materials needed to refine array formations, you can get the Hundred Mortal Hall to help you out.”
Jiu Wu was elated. He immediately accepted the order and flew towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Li Changshou could only suppress the helplessness in his heart and bow to the Sect Leader.
At the end of the day, he had gained some benefits.
Ji Wuyou revealed the fact that he valued and nurtured talented disciples, as the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect. He then brought the old immortals back to the jade platform and continued to observe the ceremony.
The Heavenly Lord Qin Wan felt that he had gained a lot. Before they left, he even took a few glances at Li Changshou to memorize his aura and face.
On the way back to the jade platform, the leader of the ten Heavenly Lords had already started to frown from time to time. He seemed to be in the midst of thinking about how to improve the Ten Absolute Arrays of his ten siblings...
Li Changshou watched the big shots leave. After they left, he could not help but rub his brows.
Ao Yi smiled and asked, “Brother Changshou, do you know how to play the flute? Why don’t you play a piece?”
Li Changshou tried to force an ugly smile. He looked at his array formation and activated the trapping arrays and Bewitching Array once again.
In his heart, he could not help but imagine a scene.
The scene depicted piles of yellow sand in the dark sky and two armies confronting each other, both on the ground and in the sky. Birds, beasts, and strange people were everywhere.
Suddenly, an army retreated rapidly. Ten huge vortexes appeared in the sky, and they were connected to each other. They were menacing and full of sharp, murderous intent.
Nine men and one woman appeared in the vortex and shouted in unison,
“Immortals of Chan School do you dare to enter our Ten Absolute Chain Arrays?”
Li Changshou held the white jade flute in his hand and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Ao Yi hurriedly asked, “Brother Changshou, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. It’s nothing.” Li Changshou sighed and looked at the tea room that was not far away. “Let’s return to the place where the grand competition is held later. Let’s take our time and chat here.”
“Yes,” replied Ao Yi, looking depressed.
Ao Yi and Li Changshou sat in the tea room in the forest.
Li Changshou took out his tea leaves and brewed a cup of tea. Then, he began to ponder. If the method of linking array foundations was spread, there would be problems in the future.
Although the one that he had given to the sect was an outdated version, that version could also be used. Furthermore, if one were to follow the logic of the original version, he might be able to develop better ideas...
On second thought, I only provided some technical support.
There is no need for the Saint to argue with me, a disciple, over this, right?
Although I should always be prepared for the worst, this matter... I have to consider it thoroughly.
Li Changshou placed the white jade flute on the table. Seeing Ao Yi’s gloomy expression, he asked, “Why? Is your cultivation not smooth? Did the dragon race encounter some trouble again?”
Ao Yi sighed and answered, “The Dragon race is still the same. My cultivation is rather smooth.” Ao Yi sighed again and continued, “Brother Changshou, you can be considered an expert in this aspect. Can you help me solve my doubts?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Speak. What do you not understand about array formations?”
Ao Yi’s face was a little awkward. He whispered, “It’s not about the Dao of array formations, nor is it about cultivation. It’s... about romantic relationships.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Brother, how am I in any way, an expert?
Li Changshou frowned and asked, “Is it about you and Han Zhi?”
“Well... Brother Changshou, you actually saw through me.” Ao Yi scratched his head and said in a low voice, “I know that this is not right. Han Zhi is my Disciple-Niece. However, ever since her master’s accident, I’ve developed some thoughts that I shouldn’t have. Brother Changshou, do you think I... have some illness?”
Li Changshou shook his head and answered, “Don’t think too much.”
He took out a treasure pouch and took out handfuls of incense from it. He crushed them and gathered them with his Dharmic powers. Then, he rubbed them slowly.
Li Changshou asked casually, “Have you confessed your feelings for her?”
“Yes,” said Ao Yi with a serious expression. “As a male of the dragon race, I must openly admit to my feelings if I fancy someone. It’s not like us to be wishy-washy.”
“Have you gotten rejected?”
“Um... Yes.” Ao Yi lowered his head. “She said that she does not have such thoughts about me. She said that she feels like I’m her younger brother. Ah, I don’t know what’s wrong. Ever since I encountered a group of sullen-faced elders in the South Ocean that year and was... my human body stopped growing.”
Li Changshou nodded calmly and felt a little embarrassed. He rubbed the “incense” ball in his hand and muttered...
“I have some medicinal wine here. Do you want to try it?”
“Huh?” Ao Yi blinked. “What medicinal wine?”
“It’s for replenishing the Yang of men. After drinking it, your body might react... That’s not right. This has nothing to do with your humanoid body.”
Li Changshou rubbed his hands slowly and pondered over that matter.
Ao Yi is now an important tool of mine... Um, an important business partner. I have to help him.
“Brother Changshou.” Ao Yi looked at the three “massive” incense sticks in Li Changshou’s hands, which were gradually taking shape. “What are you doing?” “Later, I’ll go offer incense and pay respects to the Ancestral Grandmaster.” Li Changshou smiled bitterly. “I’ll just ask to be at ease.”
Ao Yi was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization.
No wonder Brother Changshou was chosen as a merit assignee...
His method of offering incense to the Saint is completely different from the others that I had seen!
I’ve learned it.
At that moment, the group of old immortals returned to the jade platform. They were still talking about the small Chain Arrays. All of them were very interested in the topic.
However, a middle-aged Heaven Immortal Elder from the Immortal Du Sect could not help but stand up at that moment. He smiled and said, “Little Changshou not only creates unique array formations. In terms of alchemy, he also...’ “Cough! Cough, cough!”
Daoist Wuyou covered his mouth and coughed. He glared at the elder. The latter snapped out of his daze and quickly shut up.
Therefore, the immortals were even more puzzled...
