Pill Tripod Peak of the Immortal Du Sect. At that moment, apart from Exalted Wang Qing, who had gone out to deal with the dark organizations, the Golden Immortals in the sect were already above Pill Tripod Peak. In fact, only Sect Leader Wuyou and Elder Qi Ling were in charge of escorting Elder Wan Linyun to the mountain gate to transcend the tribulation later.
There were already a few Grand Elders in the sect. They led dozens of Heaven Immortal realm Peak Leaders and elders to the Golden Immortal Tribulation Stage, which was 500 kilometers away, to get busy. They were in charge of setting up some protective array formations to check if there were any external enemies hiding there.
At that moment, most of the ‘experts’ of the Immortal Du Sect had solemn expressions.
They had already received news in advance that Elder Wan Linyun was barely able to survive the Golden Immortal Tribulation.
In other words, it was very likely Elder Wan Linyun’s death tribulation.
However, to be able to fight for the Dao Fruit of Longevity was something that most human Qi Refinement cultivators could only hope for. No one wanted to retreat after reaching this stage.
The Peak Leaders and elders of Pill Tripod Peak led hundreds of disciples from the various peaks to stand quietly in front of Elder Wan Linyun’s house.
Most of them looked respectful, but the atmosphere was a little oppressive. There were streams of light flying over from outside the peak.
It had been a long time since the Immortal Du Sect had been so lively.
A white cloud flew over from the Little Qiong Peak. It was neither high nor low, and its position was neither forward nor backward. It did not attract the attention of many disciples.
The young Daoist and fairy standing on the cloud were naturally Li Changshou and Ling’e. After they arrived at Pill Tripod Peak, they landed in front of Elder Wan Linyun’s house and stood behind the disciples.
However, before Li Changshou could stand firmly, he heard a voice from the house that had been quiet for a long time.
“Changshou is here?”
Li Changshou hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed to the door. “I have come to congratulate you, Elder. I have picked the Longevity Fruit today.”
Creak…
The wooden door was pulled open from the inside. A ray of sunlight shone down. An old man with a thin and wrinkled face slowly walked out. He pulled out a cold smile. The hundreds of figures in front of the door lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
“Changshou, follow me. Let’s take a walk at the back of the mountain.”
Elder Wan Linyun waved his hand and leaned on his copper walking stick to the side.
“Yes.” Li Changshou agreed and sent a voice transmission to tell Ling’e to wait there. He calmly circled around his fellow disciples and chased after them.
The disciples looked at him enviously.
Everyone knew that Elder Wan had chosen to bring Li Changshou to the back mountain alone before he transcended the Golden Immortal Tribulation. That was to pass on his legacy.
The Immortal Du Sect was a disciple of Ren School. Apart from being biased, ahem!
Although Dao companions were flourishing in the sect, the Qi Refinement cultivators pursued peace and quiet. They also cultivated morals. Therefore, most people were just envious. No one was unhappy or anything. They all said that this was Li Changshou’s opportunity in the Little Qiong Peak.
However…
“Elder Wan, you’re safe this time.”
In the sky, the Sect Leader Ji Wuyou, sent a voice transmission to Elder Qi Ling.
Although Elder Qi Ling was puzzled, he did not ask further.
After a while, two figures walked slowly on the path that was filled with sunlight. Their laughter spread everywhere.
Old Master Wan Linyun revealed a gentle smile that could make babies stop crying. He spoke warmly about some alchemy insights while Li Changshou listened attentively. To be safe, he took the Shadow-Retaining Ball and remembered Elder Wan’s words.
At that moment, rich Heavenly Dao power circled in the sky. From time to time, rays of light surged out from Elder Wan’s body and scattered bits of starlight.
Wisps of auspicious aura that looked like ten-thousand-year-old herbs slowly spread out from Elder Wan’s body.
Wherever it passed, the grass would grow at a visible speed.
The spiritual energy in the area had added some medicinal properties.
These phenomena indicated that Old Master Wan Linyun was about to cultivate the Dao Fruit of Longevity…
“Elder, how confident are you this time?”
Li Changshou asked with a smile and casually set up a soundproof barrier. Elder Wan Linyun shook his head and sighed. “Thirty percent at most, it’s not bad.”
Li Changshou could not help but frown.
Elder Wan Linyun’s eyes were filled with emotions. He took out a bracelet from his sleeve and slowly handed it over.
“I know that you are no longer an ordinary immortal, but I don’t know the details. However, in the Immortal Du Sect, you are the only one I like. I’ll leave this with you. If I can’t survive this tribulation, you shall keep it.”
Li Changshou hesitated for a while and held the copper bangle with both hands.
Without needing to use his immortal senses to investigate, he knew that it was the accumulation of Elder Wan Linyun’s life.
Elder Wan Linyun heaved a sigh of relief and looked up at the gloomy sky.
“When I first entered the sect, I always heard that there is a limit to longevity. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed. Only then did I know how much I have to bear and how much I have to bear with the word longevity. I have no regrets. Changshou, you…” “Elder,” Li Changshou said in a low voice, “I’m sorry to interrupt you. We have an important mission and we’re pressed for time. I have some treasures to deal with the Golden Immortal Tribulation. I’ll give them to you today, Elder.”
Elder Wan Linyun, who was about to recall his life events, could not help but be stunned. When he turned around, Li Changshou had already sent him a bottle of pills.
At some point in time, layers of immortal power barriers had been placed around him.
Li Changshou said, “Elder, these are Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. There are two in total. I still have some stock. Elder, you don’t have to decline.”
“Nine…”
Elder Wan Linyun frowned. Li Changshou had already stuffed the pill into his hand.
Elder Wan lowered his head to take a look. His old hands trembled slightly.
Li Changshou took out a jade box and placed it in Elder Wan Linyun’s hand.
“Elder, this is not a pill. However, according to my careful analysis, after consuming this item, I will be able to maintain full immortal power for several hours and replenish the damage to my Dao base. Coincidentally, your Dao is related to the Dao of alchemy. You can use it now. Later, you can use all kinds of pills. It can be considered more preparation.”
As he spoke, Li Changshou had already opened the jade box. The little basin-shaped immortal fruit that looked like it was carved from white jade stunned Elder Wan Linyun.
Connate Spirit Fruit!
Ginseng Fruit!
“I can’t do that!”
“Elder, don’t delay the time.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “After my master died, I no longer want to see any elders in trouble. Your Golden Immortal Tribulation should not be the end of the immortal path. Eat it first. If you want to thank me, you can thank me after the Golden Immortal Tribulation. The Heavenly Dao does not wait for anyone.” Elder Wan Linyun was not a wishy-washy person. Although he was shocked and uncertain, he still swallowed the ginseng fruit after some hesitation.
Li Changshou took out a few treasure pouches from his sleeve. One of them contained more than ten bottles of Spirit Pills, while the other contained a few special Dharma artifacts to protect his essence soul…
Li Changshou quickly explained the uses of pills and Dharma artifacts. Elder Wan Linyun frowned and said that he had remembered everything
However, these were just external “encouragement”.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and began to activate it mentally.
If he gave the elder more hope, it might be effective.
“Elder,” Li Changshou said, “Do you know that there is a Poison Immortal from Jie School called Lu Yue?” Elder Wan Linyun immediately nodded. “He is a mighty figure in the field of poisonous pills.”
“Look.” Li Changshou held the two jade talismans. “I’ll leave the Poison Sutra written by Senior Brother Lu Yue with you first. After you transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation, we’ll study it together.”
Elder Wan Linyun was shocked. His hand trembled with excitement and grabbed Li Changshou’s wrist.
“Changshou, do you know Senior Lu Yue?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “We entered the World Edge Pavilion together and killed thousands of enemies together. We naturally know each other. Elder, don’t ask first. After you transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation, I will bring you to meet Senior Brother Lu Yue… Please keep this a secret. The Immortal Du Sect is a place for me to protect myself.”
“Good, good!”
Elder Wan Linyun nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with emotions. However, he was even more puzzled when he looked at Li Changshou.
“Changshou, now…” Li Changshou smiled and extended his hands forward. He gently touched the back of Elder Wan Linyun’s hand, revealing his second-to-last disguised cultivation level.
Dong!
Elder Wan Linyun subconsciously took half a step back with his walking stick. His gaze turned from complicated to peaceful.
It was like a dream.
“Ah, I was blind before…”
“Elder, you’ve misunderstood.” Li Changshou said seriously, “I’m not the reincarnation of a mighty figure. I’m not deliberately hiding in the Immortal Du Sect. I am Li Changshou of the Little Qiong Peak. I followed my master, Qi Yuan, to cultivate. After that, I only managed to grasp a few opportunities due to fate. From then on, I advanced step by step. With my current cultivation level, I can say a few words in Ren School and the Heavenly Courts. Elder, you don’t have to care about that. If not for the guidance that the elders gave me, the teachings of the Poison Sutra, and the poisonous pills they gave me, I would not have been in this situation today. The item that I have given you today is the heart of my fist. I will repay you for your kindness back then!”
Elder Wan Linyun smiled coldly and sighed.
“Changshou accounts for half of the wonders in the world. Since you said that, I believe you. The Golden Immortal Tribulation of longevity is imminent. If we can survive today’s tribulation, we can have a good chat.”
Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Elder, don’t be stingy with pills. I’ve left enough copies of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and various Spirit Pills for Ling’e.” “Okay.”
Elder Wan Linyun looked at the sky. “It’s about time.”
Thunder rumbled in the world as surging black clouds gathered from all directions. The copper staff tapped the ground gently, and a white cloud supported Elder Wan Linyun. The old man was rather carefree at that moment. His smile was surprisingly not that frightening “I’m going!”
Li Changshou retracted the fourteen layers of immortal power barriers in time and bowed deeply to Elder Wan Linyun.
“Elder, your immortal luck is flourishing! You have become a Golden Immortal!”
In front of the house not far away, the disciples of the hundreds of immortal sects bowed.
At the periphery of Pill Tripod Peak and all over the Immortal Du Sect, many figures bowed to Elder Wan Linyun’s back. Their immortal luck was flourishing, and the words of Golden Immortal Chang Sheng and the others rose and fell.
In the sky, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou held the sky with one hand. The mountain-protecting array formation instantly dissipated.
Then, Ji Wuyou, Elder Qi Ling, and Elder Wan Linyun turned into three streams of light and headed towards the Tribulation Stage thousands of kilometers away.
The mountain-protecting array formation was activated again. The light curtain rose from all directions at the same time and quickly closed in the sky like water flowing together. It returned to the thin and smooth situation.
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.
With two Nine Revolutions Golden Pills and the help of the ginseng fruit, Elder Wan’s Golden Immortal Tribulation did not seem to be very powerful. The chances of him transcending the Golden Immortal Tribulation should be at 98%
It was quite good. When Elder Wan Linyun became a Golden Immortal, he could help Li Changshou befriend Lu Yue.
Although the two Poison Immortals temporarily could not obtain double the joy, they should be able to be unrivaled in the Three Realms when it came to using poison.
Li Changshou looked at where Ling’e was and realized that she was chatting and laughing with a few fairies from the same batch as her. He sent a voice transmission to Ling’e and returned to the Little Qiong Peak alone.
In the eyes of most immortals in the sect, he had obtained Elder Wan’s legacy. Not long after his master, Qi Yuan, had died, he had not cultivated with Ling’e for long, and today’s events had happened…
He reckoned that many Peak Leaders and elders might want to take them as disciples…
It’s for their own good. Forget it.
Although the Grand Pure One is a magnanimous Saint, he should still mind something like that.
After returning to the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou sat on the rocking chair in front of the Pill Chamber and quietly waited for the results of Elder Wan Linyun’s Tribulation Transcendence.
He should be fine. The Heavenly Dao was already so familiar with him and even owed him two huge merit points. Elder Wan Linyun did not have any scenes in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation…
Huh?
Wait!
This familiar feeling, the rapidly decreasing pressure, the familiar trembling of his Dao heart…
Li Changshou’s body froze. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at the low sky outside the roof.
A gray cloud floated quietly.
This time, it did not condense into the face of an old man, nor did it have any Dao runes. However, Li Changshou seemed to have heard an old, lazy, and calm greeting. Should I strike the head first or buttocks first?
No!
Li Changshou flipped over and jumped up. He quickly rushed to the outer array formation and looked up at the gray cloud above him.
What has that got to do with me?
Elder Wan Linyun was an elder that he respected. He had only given him a ginseng fruit, two Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, a few treasure pouches, and a little preparation to deal with the calamity.
What was wrong with that?
Is there anything that violates the rules of the Heavenly Dao?
He had gathered the ginseng fruits and the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill with his own abilities. He did not fight or cause any negative karma. He relied on what he had!
Crack!
A bolt of purple lightning as thick as an arm struck Li Changshou, causing him to stagger.
Tsk, I’m shocked.
I’m not injured much but it’s really painful.
Terrible!
Is there any justice in this world?! Crack! Crack!
Several purple lightning bolts that were as thick as an arm fell at the same time. Li Changshou trembled and shouted in his heart, “Thank you, Heavenly Dao, for taking the time to strike.” His body swayed slightly, avoiding the lightning bolts and exploding at the same time. He endured them one by one.
In the forest, Li Changshou’s hair was in a mess. His face was filled with sorrow and helplessness. His lips trembled…
In his heart, the few precious treasures of Ren School who did not even think of helping him block the lightning were like old men who had their acupoints poked!
The Taiji Painting would probably be able to produce wrinkles!
It was too much! The gray clouds in the sky trembled a few times before another bolt of lightning struck.
Li Changshou ran around and evenly distributed the power of the divine lightning to avoid causing too much damage to his array formation.
What is going on?
That was already the extent of helping Elder Wan Linyun transcend the tribulation.
In that case, should I be prepared when Ling’e transcends the tribulation?
No, more than that.
The “loving care and concern” from his Grandmaster was much more exciting than the Golden Immortal Tribulation!
He cursed in Ren School vulgarities.
“Huh? Is there thunder over there?”
In the spiritual beast enclosure, a small mountain slowly stood up and tiptoed to look in the direction of the Pill Chamber.
Then, the head on the small mountain blinked and looked at the roasted All-Spirited Ox that was about to taste…
“Continue eating. It shouldn’t be a big deal.”
Xiong Lingli muttered and wiped away the tears at the corner of her mouth that were flowing out because the spiritual beast that she had raised had been accidentally killed by the Heaven Descending Stone. She continued to wait.
Ah, after the Little Qiong Peak is emptier, I can finally eat my fill.
There were too many people whom she had to share food with previously. Xiong Lingli’s appetite was not very good. Now, it was much more comfortable.
At that moment…
At the Heavenly Courts’ Western Heavenly Gate, rays of light shone through half of the sky. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarding the gate looked at the sky in confusion.
There, a ten-feet-tall statue slowly flew over.
A faint pressure spread in the world, causing many Heavenly Soldiers to have the thought of worshiping him. It also made the Heavenly Generals with slightly higher cultivation levels turn pale.
A Heavenly General was enlightened. He turned around and shouted,
“Quick! Sound the drums! Make way for the Heavenly Gate! A Saint is coming!”
