My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 152 - Pretending to Be Injured — From The Beginner Stage To Giving Up



Chapter 152 Pretending to Be Injured — From The Beginner Stage To Giving Up

Li Changshou suddenly fell sick.

It was the day before the Hundred Mortal Hall informed the top thirty-six disciples of the sect competition, as well as the ones who had been recommended by the twelve elders, to head to the Hundred Mortal Hall for a meeting…

Li Changshou had grasped the timing accurately.

In fact, Li Changshou had received accurate news when he was using the Wind Speech Incantation to observe the sect. He knew that they would be gathering the disciples tomorrow.

He expected that the conference would be taking place within half a year’s time…

Do they want to choose me as the leader?

They want me to continue fighting at the forefront and resolve all troubles?

It was impossible for him, Li Changshou, to fall for the same trick twice!

This time, Li Changshou first “fell sick”. He even made thorough considerations and came up with countermeasures.

Ling’e hurriedly called Jiu Jiu over. Jiu Jiu quickly brought her Fifth Senior Brother, who had not been in seclusion for many years, to the Little Qiong Peak.

In the straw hut, Li Changshou’s face was pale and his breathing was weak. He lay on the straw bed and his entire body was nothing but feeble.

After Jiu Wu made a detailed diagnosis, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s not a serious injury. It’s just that you failed to break through and injured your essence soul instead, causing your Dao base to be unstable. In such a situation, you cannot use your Dharma powers or your essence soul. However, you only need to recuperate for seven to eight years before you can slowly recover. There won’t be any hidden dangers. Don’t worry.”

Although Ling’e knew that her senior brother must have faked it on purpose, she could not help but ask after hearing Jiu Wu’s words, “What if he uses his Dharma powers?”

“He might easily damage his Dao base.” Jiu Wu muttered to himself. “It’s best not to use it.”

On the bed, Li Changshou, whose lips were pale, said, “Sigh, I wanted to advance by a small stage, but I didn’t think that it would be too forceful… Ahem, ahem…”

Jiu Wu muttered to himself, “I’ll go look for Elder Wan and ask for a pill that can stabilize my essence soul. The quality of my refinement is low, so it’s not safe.”

Ling’e hurriedly asked, “Then, will it let you recover a little earlier, Senior Brother?”

Li Changshou smiled in his heart. He felt that he did not dote on his junior sister in vain.

Jiu Wu said in a low voice, “It’s difficult. You have to recuperate to recover from such injuries. The pills will only allow him to not suffer any more injuries when he recuperates.”

Ling’e sighed softly. She was actually slightly relieved.

Jiu Wu quickly got busy. He went to ask for pills and reported to the Hundred Mortal Hall. He also saved Ling’e from the hassle of running around.

Li Changshou lay on the bed. The Dharma powers that he had simulated were a little messy.

Later, when his master heard about that matter, he went over anxiously to treat Li Changshou. He almost forgot that his eldest disciple had already transcended the Heavenly Tribulation.

Fortunately, Qi Yuan realized that Li Changshou’s injuries were not serious, so he did not ask further. Instead, he went back to cultivate.

Pretending to be sick seemed like a small matter, but to Li Changshou, it meant a lot.

The visit by Elder Wan Linyun was within Li Changshou’s expectations.

After Elder Wan Linyun carefully checked, he got to the same conclusion as Jiu Wu.

It was a huge affirmation for Li Changshou’s acting skills!

“You… don’t move.” Elder Wan said slowly, “You will recover in six to seven years.

“Don’t be impatient. Your aptitude is already the best. Your awareness is high and your character is good. You’re good-looking. You will definitely be fine.

“Later, if I refine that pill, I’ll come over and give it to you for your appraisal.”

Li Changshou was very touched, but he wanted to remind Elder wan…

You seem to have taken a wrong path when it comes to Immortal Sense Poison Pills. Furthermore, you’re almost going to take the wrong path and create another type of poisonous pill…

Hence, after Elder Wan Linyun left behind many pills for recuperation, he returned to Pill Tripod Peak and did not worry about Li Changshou’s injuries anymore.

Next, Li Changshou estimated… that there was a high chance that a few elders from the Hundred Mortal Hall would come together.

The elders who had received the Ambition Pill in the sect would also form a group to visit the Little Qiong Peak.

He reckoned that he should be able to earn some pills by pretending to be sick this time. Later, he would secretly make the paper effigy sell them in the town. Then, he would be able to replenish the spiritual beast enclosure that he would never be able to fill up.

Actually, what he could not satisfy was not the spiritual beast enclosure, but human desires… and their appetite.

As Li Changshou had expected, after Elder Wan returned, the few “spiritual fish” elders from the Hundred Mortal Hall came together. They touched Li Changshou’s wrist and suggested that he rest peacefully.

Not long after, another few Heaven Immortal elders arrived.

There were eight people who had eaten the Ambition Pill and not gone into seclusion. They were there to visit Li Changshou and asked tactfully if he had any remaining pills.

Li Changshou was naturally prepared. He gave one to each of them.

At that moment, the higher-ups in the sect knew that Li Changshou had injured his essence soul and Dao base because of his rapid cultivation…

The ordinary disciples did not know about it. It had nothing to do with them.

However, from the moment Youqin Xuanya rushed over, things had begun to escalate out of Li Changshou’s expectations…

“Senior Brother Changshou!”

Youqin Xuanya, who was dressed in an icy-blue dress, frowned.

She quickly walked to the bed and looked at the pale Li Changshou. Her eyes were filled with worry.

Ling’e, who was beside the bed, hurriedly said, “Senior Sister, don’t worry. My senior brother’s cultivation level had been disrupted. The elders in the sect have already diagnosed him. After he recuperates, he can recover.”

Youqin Xuanya nodded gently and looked into Li Changshou’s eyes.

For some reason… Li Changshou made eye contact with the Head Disciple of the outer sect of Jie School but he did not panic at all.

However, at that moment, Li Changshou felt a little anxious…

You’re toxic…

He heard Youqin Xuanya say softly, “Senior Brother, I know.”

Li Changshou’s Adam’s apple bobbed. What do you know?

She continued “You must be rushing to cultivate because you want to make a name for the sect during the Three Sects’ Meet.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

That was really not the case.

“Senior Brother Changshou, don’t worry. As the Head Disciple of this generation, I will definitely take on your promise, Senior Brother Changshou. I will give it my all to fight for the Immortal Du Sect!”

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. If that was just her comprehension, it would not be a big deal.

“Junior Sister Youqin…”

“Senior Brother, don’t say anything. Rest assured and recuperate!”

Youqin Xuanya hurriedly bent down and gently pressed Li Changshou’s shoulder. Her long hair hung in front of Li Changshou.

Her face was beautiful, but her gaze was filled with determination!

“I will definitely not disappoint you, Senior Brother Changshou!”

Li Changshou revealed a gratified smile…

Fortunately, she did not stray too far this time.

Youqin Xuanya stayed there for four hours before leaving. Before her departure, she left behind many pills.

However, as soon as Youqin Xuanya left, Jiu Jiu, who had not returned after going out, rode a large gourd towards the direction of the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

What surprised Li Changshou was that there was an unfamiliar figure beside the huge gourd…

This person’s aura was restrained, and there was not a single fluctuation in his body. He was slightly thin, and his forehead was slightly dark.

However, when Li Changshou saw that person, his heart skipped a beat. He really wanted to rush out and stop his Little Aunt-Master…

He was Elder Qi Ling!

One of the two Golden Immortals in the sect, from the Ancient Qilin Clan!

Li Changshou still did not know about Elder Qi Ling’s story, but his eyesight and cultivation level were not something Elder Wan could compare with!

He had already completed the sixth modified version of the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra. Perhaps, he could conceal his cultivation level in front of that elder…

However, the other party would definitely see through his fake “illness”!

What should I do?

Why did Junior Sister Youqin’s toxicity shift to Little Aunt-Master today?

How did Little Aunt-Master manage to get the elder of the Dao Repository Hall to stand up!?! Could this elder be from a large sect? Ahem, these are no longer important. Li Changshou quickly realized something…

It did not matter. He had already considered that!

If he could not hide from the Golden Immortals in the sect, he would not have done such a “dangerous act” that would easily expose his trump card.

He gritted his teeth secretly and clenched his fists. He calculated the subsequent aura fluctuations, the changes in the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra, and the different levels of disguises. He directly… shook his own essence soul!

With a dull thud, Li Changshou’s essence soul trembled. There was blood at the corner of his mouth. He was already slightly injured!

The previous weakness was released from the inside out!

That was the highest level of pretending to be injured—True Damage!

Ling’e, who was beside the bed, did not know what had just happened. Little Aunt-Master had already pulled the elder to the straw hut. Ling’e hurriedly welcomed him outside…

He heard Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu whining.

“Elder, quickly take a look! You have such a high cultivation level, that fellow would definitely be fine if you just pointed at him! The Three Sects’ Meet is about to begin. He is an outstanding disciple in the sect. He might only encounter such a major event once in his life. It would be good for him to join in the

fun.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless. “You…” Elder Qi Ling’s sigh was filled with the doting love that he had towards his juniors as an elder.

The elder walked into the straw hut and glanced at Li Changshou’s bedside. Then, he said, “It’s no different from what you said. It’s just that his essence soul was injured from the impact. Don’t worry. I’ll go back if there’s nothing else.”

Li Changshou said weakly, “Thank you, Elder…”

Elder Qi Ling nodded calmly. When he turned to look at Jiu Jiu, he smiled kindly.

This elder came and left quickly. Jiu Jiu was still very polite and she sent the elder back to the Dao Repository Hall.

Later, I have to have a good talk with Little Aunt-Master.

Unknowingly, Little Aunt-Master had almost ruined all my trump cards. After the elder left, the incident continued. However, it was just a small accident this time.

Liu Feixian, the slightly plump Daoist from Pill Tripod Peak arrived at Little Qiong Peak on a cloud with some gifts. He gave Li Changshou a few words of encouragement and left hurriedly. Finally, it was late at night…

Ling’e, who had been exhausted the entire day, sat on the bed and could not help but grumble softly.

“Senior Brother, when did you become so popular?”

“Perhaps, it’s about temperament.” Li Changshou slowly heaved a sigh of relief and continued to lie on the bed, lamenting in his heart.

From pretending to be injured to being seriously injured, he had experienced plenty today.

However, as long as he did not go to the Three Sects’ Meet, getting injured would just be a small consequence as he would be able to recover from his minor injuries easily!

It was worth it!

Ling’e smiled and said, “The most shocking person today is not Senior Sister Youqin, but Little Aunt-Master.”

“I didn’t expect her to put so much effort into inviting such an expert from the sect. I’m just suffering from a small injury…”

Li Changshou shook his head. Just as he was about to complain, his immortal senses swept past the two figures that were flying towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

One of the two figures was Youqin Xuanya, who had left previously. The other was…

It was… a person who was dressed in white and coughing intermittently. His face was handsome, and his body was empty.

He was the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, Empty, ahem, Daoist Wuyou!

Li Changshou’s lips twitched. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.

At first, he heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that it should be the case. Even if Little Aunt-Master would occasionally “be toxic”, how could her toxicity surpass that of Toxic Junior Sister?

Li Changshou felt slightly relieved. Then, he felt a sense of helplessness. For the first time in his life, he regretted being too slow to react when Youqin Xuanya descended from the sky in the North Continent!

Come to think of it, are all the pretty girls in his Little Qiong Peak so close to me?!

I’m above!

If he could hide it from Elder Qi Ling, he would naturally be able to hide it from the Sect Leader.

After hiding it from Sect Leader Ji Wuyou, Li Changshou’s injury had become convincing.

Although there were some slip-ups, they were basically within Li Changshou’s control. This time, he had checked how effective his sixth version of the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra was.

Later, he could pass the third version to his master and junior sister.

However, Li Changshou did not feel at ease for more than twelve hours.

On the second day of pretending to be sick, 46 disciples gathered in the Hundred Mortal Hall. They closed the restrictions in the hall and began to brief the disciples about the Three Sects’ Meet.

However, after they finished the meeting, Youqin Xuanya and Jiu Wu rushed to the Little Qiong Peak one after another and brought the same news to Li Changshou.

“Sect Leader, please give me some advice. Li Changshou has contributed to the sect and placed great importance on the Three Sects’ Meet. He will work hard to cultivate and break through before the meet begins. Now, Li Changshou and Youqin Xuanya are the leaders of the disciples. The other disciples should be under their control.”

Li Changshou felt rather helpless. He whispered, “Did you get it wrong?”

“No, this is the sect’s affirmation towards you.” Jiu Wu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Changshou. You will definitely make it in time for this meeting.”

Youqin Xuanya nodded slightly and said, “That’s right. You’ll definitely catch up. The meeting will be held in twelve years’ time. We will arrive there half a year in advance.”

Ten!

Li Changshou widened his eyes and slowly closed them again. He took a deep breath and laughed out loud. He sighed that… life was unpredictable.
