Chapter 163 Advanced Test Of Ren School
Li Changshou hid in the dark and pointed to show the way. Xiong Lingli ran on the ground. The two of them quickly arrived at another hidden place.
Since he could not stay on the edge, he could only change his strategy.
Two waves of demonic beasts rushed towards his location. According to Li Changshou’s prediction, if someone did not do it on purpose, it would be the punishment mechanism that was hidden at the edge. It would not be easy to tamper with the painting in front of everyone.
It was very likely that that situation was one of the hidden rules of the conference… This Senior Yun Zhongzi is very thoughtful.
Relying on the fact that his immortal senses could travel far away, Li Changshou activated the Wind Speech Incantation and prepared a spider web. Then, he cast the Earth Escape and followed behind Xiong Lingli. Very quickly, Xiong Lingli ran to a riverside. On a hillside by a river, she found a huge hole that was washed out by the river and hid in it with Li Changshou.
Li Changshou set up two layers of low-level illusion techniques and used his immortal senses to continue observing the surroundings within a five-hundred-kilometer radius.
This time, they were in the range of the Qi Refinement cultivators’ activities. They were not at the periphery.
In a battle between Qi Refinement cultivators of that level, there was no need for him to reveal his trump cards and attract attention.
Xiong Lingli struggled to curl up in the corner and looked down at Li Changshou. “Cousin, are we going to hide forever?”.
“It depends,” Li Changshou said with a smile. Suddenly, he heard a thundering sound coming from Xiong Ling’s armor.
Xiong Lingli scratched her head in embarra.s.sment. “I was hungry after looking at the two demonic beasts.”
“You can’t eat those two.” Li Changshou took out a bottle of pills. “If you’re hungry, eat one… You should have abstained from eating.”
“Yes, I won’t starve to death even if I don’t eat now. However, if I don’t eat meat, I won’t have much strength left in me.”
Xiong Lingli said in embarra.s.sment. She was often hungry when she was in the sect. After all, after everyone had abstained from eating, they did not like to eat…
Li Changshou nodded and roughly understood the physique of a Magihuman.
Just as he was about to continue asking, his immortal senses suddenly captured three more demonic birds flying out from the periphery, charging towards him and Xiong Lingli.
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and immediately ruled out his previous guess of the “punishment mechanism”. Among the remaining possibilities, there was one that was the most likely. It could be that someone was deliberately making things difficult. The other major possibility was that the Magihuman bloodline would make Magihumans have an additional attraction to demonic beasts.
“Lingli, have you hunted and killed birds before?”
Xiong Lingli immediately nodded and replied happily, “Of course I have! Everyone in our village knows how to hunt and catch fish and birds! However, when I was hunting birds, I would throw some forks at them. I didn’t bring any with me…”
“I’ll just make some for you.” Li Changshou waved his hand outwards. Waves of sand surged out from the bottom of the river, quickly forming a yellow three-pointed fork between Li Changshou’s hands.
With every fork, Li Changshou would especially increase the thickness and weight. The quality was fixed and it was great to touch.
Xiong Lingli watched on excitedly by the side…
The Sea G.o.d had appeared in front of her!
Li Changshou handed the long fork to Xiong Lingli and said seriously, “A few big birds are flying over. It’s up to you. Don’t feel pressured. If you can’t handle it, I will naturally take action.”
Xiong Lingli pursed her lips and her eyes lit up. She nodded profusely at Li Changshou and whispered,
“Cousin! I will protect you!”
Li Changshou smiled and waved his hand. Xiong Lingli carried the long fork and rushed out of his hiding place.
A moment later, a hurried sound of air breaking could be heard outside the cave, followed by the shrill cries of the demonic beasts…
Li Changshou put away the porcelain bottle in his hand whilst in the ground. His immortal senses also captured that the dozen or so Qi Refinement cultivators who were chasing after the demonic beasts had already scattered…
Three colorful demonic beasts crashed into the forest a thousand feet away.
Xiong Lingli was stunned when she saw the beasts. She wiped the saliva away from the corners of her mouth, turned around, and prepared to return to the hole in the ground.
She heard a voice transmission.
“Go and chop off the wings of the demonic bird on the left. Let’s go somewhere else and roast it for you to eat. This demonic bird is called the Rainbow-Feathered Big Golden Chicken. Its wings are extremely delicious.”
Xiong Lingli immediately rushed forward happily. She swiftly grabbed the demonic bird’s wings, which were more than thirty feet long, and stepped on its body. She pulled hard, and blood splattered everywhere…
After a while, Xiong Lingli placed two chicken wings that were ten feet long under her ribs and sprinted furiously.
When the Qi Refinement cultivators from the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools saw him, they all retreated. Most of them were stunned and did not dare to talk about sparring…
No one would dare to sneak an attack during such an occasion.
Everyone had to act like a gentleman and be polite. Even if they wanted to compete for the treasures, they had to shout in advance and say that they were going to attack…
An hour later, in an open s.p.a.ce in a forest, Xiong Lingli sat obediently behind a long and narrow fire pit. She held a thirty-foot-long clay fork in her left hand, and on the clay fork, there were two ten-feet-long… Primordial World Special Produce-Super Chicken Wings!
The fire was not an ordinary fire. It was the ‘Forging True Flames’ that Li Changshou would occasionally use when refining pills. Its power was medial-cla.s.s. Li Changshou was hiding in a huge tree not far away. He observed his surroundings quietly and thought about his previous encounter…
Xiong Lingli sprinkled some salt and seasonings that she had prepared herself. She waved her hands around casually and skilfully.
She kept licking her lips and even happily hummed a sect song from the Carefree Immortal Sect.
“The gra.s.s by the green river, the turtles running on the sh.o.r.e. Why can’t they run fast? The Evergreen Herb on their heads~”
If anyone else heard that song, they would definitely think that the Carefree Immortal Sect was chaotic!
However, Li Changshou was different.
He frowned slightly when he heard that. He thought to himself that there were a few mighty figures outside who were related to the turtle. There was the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit from Jie School to begin with.
He had to pay more attention to such details.
Li Changshou said, “Let’s sing another song.”
“Okay.” Xiong Lingli cringed and answered obediently. She did not dare to speak, but she felt that the Sea G.o.d might want to hear her sing a song.
Soon, she found a suitable pitch and hummed the second sect song of the Carefree Immortal Sect…
Outside the painting, the Great Daoist Master who was on the cloud stopped affecting the treasure map.
He did not intentionally make things difficult for Li Changshou. Instead, he was planning to make Li Changshou famous in the Three Sects’ Meet and pave the way for Li Changshou to enter the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace.
At that moment, the Eldest Senior Brother of Ren School was already thinking about another problem…
What is the reason that I forced Li Changshou to be so cautious and go into hiding?
Could it be that someone is secretly threatening the disciples of my Ren School?
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du remained calm as he calculated with his fingers.
Little Changshou has Teacher to help him cover up the heavenly secret. I cannot deduce anything, but the Immortal Du Sect he is in can be deduced at will…
He walked around Li Changshou and observed Li Changshou’s short life from the side. He naturally had some answers.
At that moment, Xuan Du calmed his heart and focused. He pinched his fingers, and the image of a Taiji Painting appeared in his palm.
Then, the heavenly secret revealed:
The only calamity that the Immortal Du Sect had suffered in the past three hundred years was that a certain expert from the Western Sect secretly plotted and used a puppet to attack the sect.
Did that matter really affect him that much?
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du pondered for a while and quickly decided to continue probing. However, the method was no longer as simple as before.
He wanted to investigate Li Changshou in all aspects.
At that moment, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du started to formulate scripts one after another in his heart. He began to secretly… launch the small test that was of the “highest level of Ren School”!
The first wave:
A few Qi Refinement cultivators from Jie School were working together to attack a demonic beast. There was a purple hammer wrapped in lightning on the demonic beast’s back. The demon beast was on the verge of death.
The Qi Refinement cultivators had already entered the superficial stage of giving way and were telling each other to “Take it”.
Suddenly, thunder rumbled. The purple divine hammer entered the demonic beast’s body. The demonic beast’s demonic power exploded instantly!
When the Qi Refinement cultivators saw that, they reacted quickly and immediately ran away. They heard a vague voice beside their ears that guided them to where Li Changshou and Xiong Lingli were hiding.
Li Changshou had been observing that place for a long time. He immediately switched from the Wood Escape to Earth Escape and sent a voice transmission to Xiong Lingli.
Xiong Lingli, who had just finished two large chicken wings, immediately stood up with the clay fork. Following Li Changshou’s instructions, she hid in the forest at the side and prepared to fight!
Very quickly, a few figures rushed over with the demonic beasts. A wisp of colorless and odorless drug entered the demonic beast’s soul and instantly made it faint!
At that moment, Xiong Lingli, who had entered a state of hunting, shouted softly. She raised her clay fork and leaped up. Her movements were accurate and ruthless, and her expression was calm. She gripped the clay fork tightly with her hands, and she directly pierced it through the demonic beast’s neck!
Demonic blood splattered all over the place. Xiong Lingli held the clay fork and twisted it forcefully. The demon beast did not even make a sound as it instantly kicked the bucket!
The disciples who were being chased turned their heads to look. What they saw was the majestic back that was bathed in blood…
A female Qi Refinement cultivator’s eyes blurred. She blushed and said softly, “Fellow Daoist…”
“Oh? Did you call me Fellow Daoist?”
Xiong Lingli turned around and looked. Her face, which was even cuter than the female Qi Refinement cultivator opposite her, instantly made the latter press her soft lips together.
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to Xiong Lingli. Xiong Lingli glared at her and asked the others, “There’s a hammer here. Do you want a hammer?”
“Fellow Daoist, you saved our lives. How can we obtain such a treasure?”
“These are some tokens of grat.i.tude. Please accept them, Fellow Daoist.”
At that moment, the disciples from Jie School each took out some Spirit Stones and pills. After pus.h.i.+ng them over with their Dharma powers, they hurriedly bade farewell.
Xiong Lingli was a little puzzled. According to the Sea G.o.d’s decree, she first put away the items and then pulled out the hammer in the demon beast’s body. She shouted in surprise, “Cousin, this hammer is so small. Why is it so heavy?” Li Changshou said, “According to my refinement technique, refine this numinous treasure and use it for self-defense in the future.”
“Okay!” Xiong Lingli replied. She held the hammer in her hand and injected her Dharma powers into it. Soon, she completed the initial refinement.
The thunder hammer was indeed produced by Yun Zhongzi, a blacksmith master. It was powerful and had many tricks.
The moment it was refined by Xiong Lingli, the thunder hammer turned into half a meter long. Xiong Lingli could hold it well. “Let’s go,” Li Changshou said. “Continue changing places.”
Xiong Lingli agreed. She picked up the hammer and continued to run.
On the cloud outside the panting, on the cloud, the lonely figure smiled in satisfaction and continued his next inspection…
In the next six hours, Li Changshou encountered all kinds of strange things.
Some of the unconscious female Qi Refinement cultivators, who had been injured by the demonic beasts, fell into the lake and were drenched.
Two demonic beasts were fighting each other. Coincidentally, they died at a spot that was not far from Li Changshou, and a few Qi Refinement cultivators nearby were rus.h.i.+ng
over…
There were all kinds of things.
Li Changshou did not deliberately do it. His actions had always followed the principle of ‘not touching karma’. If he could avoid it, he would avoid it. If he could not avoid it, he would skillfully use his newly obtained “Dharma treasure man”.
The only difference was that he would usually not interfere with other people’s troubles.
However, in the painting, he would grab the other party if it did not require much effort. However, he would quickly leave and do good deeds without leaving his name. If he knew that someone would use such a method to test his character, Li Changshou would definitely call them senseless in his heart and display the image of an ordinary “humble gentleman”.
The results of the test slowly condensed in the heart of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du. There was only one word he could think of.
Steady.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du understood.
The feeling was very mystical. It could only be understood and not transmitted.
At that moment, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was already interested. He sent out his trump card and flicked at the treasure map.
In a stream, Li Changshou, who was using the Water Escape technique to move forward slowly, suddenly had an epiphany. He seemed to have something to say. Those insights gradually condensed into six large words.
‘Show The Prowess Of Ren School.’
Li Changshou frowned and immediately appeared in the water. He then bowed to the sky.
He had just learned a “small survival technique for the Primordial World” from the twelve Golden Immortals of Jie School. He seized the opportunity to wors.h.i.+p the Saint.
Could it be that my mission is to show our might here?
However… this does not fit the teachings of Ren School…
Could it be the Great Daoist Master?
