My Senior Brother is Too Steady

“Ha…”

“Awesome!”

Jiu Jiu, who had just chugged alcohol, was lying on the low table. Her face was red, and she held the empty wine pot in her hand. She let out two sighs of comfort and satisfaction.

Beside her, Ling’e was at a loss and did not know if she should laugh or cry. She persuaded, “Aunt-Master, you’re too reliant on wine.”

“Hey, hey, hey.” Jiu Jiu sighed softly. “It’s my habit and my interest. I can’t just throw it away! If I throw it away, I’ll lose my vitality!”

“Little Ling’e, I haven’t seen you for a few years and you’ve gotten prettier again. Come and let me take a look at you!”

“Aunt-Master, the array formation is broken. Stop fooling around…”

Ling’e smiled bitterly and dodged lightly. Jiu Jiu, who was slightly drunk, did not force her. She simply pinched Ling’e’s face and leaned back.

To her, it was too tiring to sit. It was better to lie down comfortably.

“Ling’e, why did your senior brother go to the Heaven-Breaking Peak?”

“He should have gone to the Dao Repository Hall. He will probably return soon.”

“Oh, the Dao Repository Hall…”

Ling’e folded her skirt and sat elegantly at the side, concocting a new pot of Drunken Immortal Wine for Jiu Jiu.

Fortunately, Senior Brother left some kind of incapacitating agent with me… Ahem, I mean wine. Otherwise, given the situation just now, I’m afraid Little Aunt-Master would have gone crazy.

“Thank you, Little Ling’e!”

“Hehe, the people from the Little Qiong Peak are so nice. They have glib tongues and offer me wine. I really like this place.”

Jiu Jiu continued to mumble, “When it comes to cultivation, everyone’s Dao is different. Our Dao is wine. Is that okay?”

Ling’e chuckled. “Of course.”

Jiu Jiu lifted the wine pot and poured the remaining wine into her mouth twice before licking her lips.

She had drunk a little too quickly just now and thus began to feel sleepy.

“Little Ling’e, let me borrow your bed…”

Before she could finish speaking, Jiu Jiu had already carried her gourd to the bed. She turned over and lay down, after which she began to snore.

Ling’e smiled bitterly. She tidied up the cups and plates on the table and sat down again. She felt rather dumbfounded by Jiu Jiu’s “sin”…

Finally, she let out a faint sigh and carried the meditation cushion to the straw hut to meditate.

The array outside the house was broken by Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu.

When she sleeps after getting drunk, she always ends up throwing some of her clothes and undergarments around…

I have to keep an eye on this place to prevent others from taking advantage of her.

Ling’e then meditated and tried to get some Dao enlightenment.

However, she was thinking about her senior, Li Changshou.

Ling’e quickly got distracted and began to think about things like the type of woman her senior brother fancied.

However, Ling’e was wrong this time…

Li Changshou went to the Dao Repository Hall and did not return even after half a month.

After Jiu Jiu woke up, she played the Immortal Life Simulation and dressed up puppets with Ling’e, after which they played dress-up in real life.

Finally, after she finished drinking all the wine that Ling’e had, Jiu Jiu got bored again…

After waiting for half a month, she wanted to look for Li Changshou to show off her cultivation level and get some wine to drink. In the end, she could not help but stand up!

“This fellow is wasting so much time by going to the Dao Repository Hall!”

“I’ll go to the Dao Repository Palace to find him!”

“Hey, Aunt-Master…”

Before Ling’e could say anything, Jiu Jiu had already jumped into the air angrily. She sat in front of the gourd and sped towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak!

However, when they reached the outer hall of the Dao Repository Palace, Jiu Jiu circled around twice, but she still could not find Li Changshou.

She scanned the place with her immortal senses but she could not detect Li Changshou’s aura at all.

Has he gone somewhere else?

Jiu Jiu carried the huge gourd on her back and sneaked to the inner hall. She sneakily approached Elder Qi Ling and suddenly shouted, “Elder!”

Elder Qi Ling slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Jiu Jiu, he became more energetic and smiled.

“Little Jiu, what are you finding? I’ll go get it for you.”

“Elder, have you ever seen a disciple who’s in the Void Return stage? His name is Li Changshou, a disciple of the Little Qiong Peak. He’s about… this tall!”

Jiu Jiu lifted her arm, stood on tiptoe, and tried to show how tall Li Changshou was.

“He looks rather neat, but he has a very mean personality. He often uses good wine to threaten his adorable and kind Little Aunt-Master, and makes me be at his beck and call!”

Elder Qi Ling thought about it carefully and smiled. “He’s in the inner hall.”

Jiu Jiu was stunned. “Why did you let him go to the inner hall?”

“It seems that he has a permit…”

Qi Ling mumbled and was about to continue speaking when he realized that Jiu Jiu was no longer beside him.

Jiu Jiu had already pushed open the door to the inner hall. She tilted her body and looked inside, but she could not find Li Changshou.

“Huh? He’s not here anymore?”

Jiu Jiu released her immortal senses and searched the place repeatedly. Finally, she found an inconspicuous corner and ‘saw’ Li Changshou, who was leaning against the wall and reading the jade slip…

This guy has hidden himself so well. Is he reading pornographic material?

Jiu Jiu narrowed her eyes and smiled, as she got a terrible idea.

“Elder, I’m going in.”

“Go, go.”

Elder Qi Ling waved his hand without looking back. He closed his eyes and continued to meditate. The smile on his lips remained.

Jiu Jiu tiptoed into the inner hall. Under the cover of the bookshelves and shelves, she secretly approached Li Changshou, who was in the corner.

There were a few figures in the inner hall. They were all Perfected Immortals in the sect. Some of them were reading ancient books or meditating in the corner.

The inner hall was much smaller than the outer hall.

However, any one of the ancient books there could be exchanged for a large amount of precious materials and spirit herbs in the town.

Apart from the Inaction Sutra, the various Peak Leaders and Elders’ personal treasures could be found there too.

For example, Li Changshou was currently reading the Heavenly Mortal Forbidden Tome. There were many advanced blacksmithing restrictions recorded in it, which could be used to forge advanced immortal treasures.

Of course, the premise was that the forger had excellent techniques and high-quality materials.

This jade slip itself was a Dharma treasure. The jade slip emitted a dense glow and it was guaranteed that the contents engraved on it would not be corroded over time.

Hiding behind the bookshelf, Jiu Jiu licked her lips. In her mind, she could already imagine the scene of Li Changshou being scared out of his wits.

It was too late!

With excellent footwork, Jiu Jiu nimbly turned around. She raised her arm and grimaced, after which she immediately released her aura!

“Ah!”

However…

Li Changshou raised his left hand and flicked his finger. A light blue pill accurately entered Jiu Jiu’s mouth.

“Huh?”

Jiu Jiu stopped in front of Li Changshou, tilted her head slightly, and chewed the pill.

Jiu Jiu made some crunching sounds when she chewed. The fragrance of alcohol lingered in her heart, and a mouthful of sweet liquid slid down her throat. While she was doing so, a wisp of spiritual energy flowed throughout her body…

The slightly intoxicating and comfortable feeling made Jiu Jiu let out a soft snort. Her face was slightly flushed.

“Whoa… Delicious! What is this!?!”

“Shh!”

Li Changshou made a hand gesture and hushed her. He put down the jade slip and looked at his young Aunt-Master who was in front of him. He really wanted to… touch her head.

Ahem, she’s my senior so I can’t do that. 

Little Aunt-Master has finally come out of seclusion.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “That was the Spirit Wine Pill which was refined using twelve-flavored spiritual herbs and the essence of alcohol. The effect is only to replenish one’s Primordial Energy, but the taste is indeed rather delectable.”

Jiu Jiu immediately reached her hand out and looked at the other corners of the inner hall like a thief. When she realized that no one was looking at her, she whispered, “Give me a few more!”

She also cared about her pride.

She was a little embarrassed about being fed by her disciple-nephew.

Li Changshou casually took out a treasure pouch and said, “There are sixty of them in here. It’s a gift to congratulate you for coming out of seclusion.”

“You still know the right thing to do!”

Jiu Jiu patted Li Changshou’s arm in satisfaction. She grabbed the treasure pouch and took out a porcelain bottle that was also an enchanted armament.

She placed the huge gourd on her back aside. Like Li Changshou, she leaned against the flat stone wall and looked over…

“What are you looking at?”

“The various restrictions for refining,” Li Changshou said. “There are a few restrictions. I want to see if I can use them on the foundation of the array formations.”

“By the way, Aunt-Master, do you have any intention of improving the array formation around the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak?”

Jiu Jiu blinked. “Didn’t you just build the array formations of your Pill Chamber?”

“It had not even been a hundred years. Why are you still trying to improve it? Are you still planning to suppress your spiritual energy and set up the array formation like before?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll take it!”

Jiu Jiu rolled her eyes and stretched out two fingers. “I want Two-year-old immortal brew, Beauty’s Charm, and the Ganges River’s Dry Wine! I also want three hundred Spirit Pills!”

Li Changshou nodded decisively. “Deal.”

Jiu Jiu felt a little embarrassed, as if she had extorted her Disciple-Nephew.

She had originally wanted to order some wine. She kept her hands behind her back and leaned against the stone wall, appearing slightly dazed.

Li Changshou glanced at her and continued reading.

“I’ll probably stay here for another month. Aunt-Master, you cultivate first. Wait for me for a while.”

Jiu Jiu blinked and said softly, “Okay, I’ll wait here then. One month… be over soon.”

Li Changshou suddenly recalled that his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had gone to the Middle Continent to participate in the preparation for the Three Sects Assembly and had yet to return.

If Aunt-Master had just broken through, she might not have any wine to drink.

He took out another treasure pouch and handed it to Jiu Jiu. “This is your salary, I’m giving it to you in advance. However, for now, I only have Beauty Brew.”

Jiu Jiu scratched her forehead. “I’m sorry about that.”

“Forget it then…”

Li Changshou retracted his hand, but Jiu Jiu snatched the bag away.

“You’ve already taken it out! How can you take it back!?! Hmph, I’ll accept it graciously!”

“Hmph, I’ll accept it generously!”

Li Changshou smiled and continued to memorize the restrictions with his head hung low.

Jiu Jiu yawned from the side and found a jade token, on which there were some spells. She read it slowly while she was beside Li Changshou and tossed two Spirit Wine Pills into her mouth.

Li Changshou said, “Eat less. This thing will make you drunk.”

“Oh… but they’re really delicious!”

Not long after, Li Changshou heard faint snoring coming from the side…

Li Changshou sighed. He had a feeling that his Aunt-Master’s personality only matched a fraction of her age.

That was good.

Li Changshou actually had other pills that were similar to the Spirit Wine Pill. However, he had to take them out slowly. It would not be nice if he gave them all to her at once.

He focused his mind and continued to memorize.

As a disciple who was at the Seventh Stage of Void Return, it would not be appropriate for him to enter the Dao Repository Hall all the time. It would be best if he could remember everything he needed.

From now… I’m an emotionless broken record.

…

In the forbidden areas of the mountains in the north-east of the Middle Continent, there was an immortal island that hovered above the mountains.

There were countless buildings and palaces on it. White clouds surrounded the island, and immortal sounds could be heard. Layers of array formations surrounded the island.

This is what a great sect is like!

It was the Golden Palace Sect which was founded by the Qi Refinement cultivator Chi Jingzi who was from the Chan School.

Chi Jingzi cultivated in a Grotto-heaven blessed land—the Heavenly Cloud Cave of Taihua Mountain. He had also once gone to the Golden Palace Sect.

He was one of the top ten Immortal Sects of the Chan School, who was competent and strong…

The Golden Palace Sect was one of the organizers of the Sect Meeting between the three sect leaders.

It was meant to ease tension and increase harmony.

The Three Pure Ones were originally one. After the Great God Pangu split the heavens and earth and died, his Essence Soul transformed into the Grand Pure One, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasures. They were called the Three Friends and the reason that the Dao Sect’s Three Pures were formed.

The three of them were originally staying in the small courtyard on Kunlun Mountain. After that, they became Hong Jun’s three personal disciples and changed the Xuan Sect to the Dao Sect. Hong Jun was made the Dao Ancestor.

However, due to the different ideals of accepting and teaching disciples, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure were gradually at odds.

After that, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning reprimanded the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasures, Duobao. In a moment of pique, the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasures moved to the South Ocean.

When the Three Pure Ones became Saints, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning established his teachings. His intention was to ‘advert the Great Dao and teach all living beings’. He advocated that the laws were not easily passed down. The disciples needed virtue, good fortune, and good luck.

The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure had set up Jie School and was known as the Grandmaster of Heaven. His intention was to help all living beings obtain a chance of survival. He advocated impartial teaching. As long as a disciple was pleasing to his eye… that would do.

“I have established the Ren School and hid in the Nine Heavens. I have comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and I have advocated peace and tranquility. I have only accepted one disciple, the Great Daoist Master Xuandu.”

The difference between the reason they accepted disciples was the source of the conflict between the two factions.

However, the Three Pure Ones had deep ties with each other. The three sects originated from the same source. Jie School and Chan School were basically all related to Dao.

Therefore, the Great Immortal Sect took the initiative to step forward and prepare for the Three Sects Origin Flow Conference. They wanted the Three Sects to reconcile.

The people who came to discuss about the organization of the grand meeting, such as the Jie School and Chan School, were all the “powerful families” of the Primordial World.

There were only five to six people from the Ren School, so the Immortal Du Sect had been recruited to fill the vacancies…

However, more than a year had passed since the preparations for the meet began…

They still did not reach the main topic.

Jiu Wu and the other two executives of the Immortal Du Sect followed behind the two elders. They would greet them, bow to them, and stroll around to meet up with their friends or attend Dao lectures every day.

It was the segment of the Dao discussion that would occur before the ‘Preparation Conference’ began. It would probably last for three to five years.

It was truly wise to begin preparations for the conference a hundred years in advance…

That night, Jiu Wu got drunk and was sent back to his residence by two Golden Palace Sect disciples.

While in a daze, Jiu Wu seemed to have heard the sound of a mosquito…

Why are there mosquitoes here?

He clapped his hands in the air casually and the sound of the mosquitoes disappeared.

However, not far from the pavilion where the Immortal Du Sect was one of the buildings where the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island lived.

A ray of sanguine light left the vicinity of Jiu Wu. It silently broke through the array formation at the outer perimeter of the pavilion and found an old Daoist priest who was meditating there…

Yuan Ze was in Golden Ao Island.

Buzz—

“Eh?”

Yuan Ze turned his head and looked around. He was a little suspicious. He was about to use his immortal senses to scan his surroundings when he felt some pain in his neck.

In an instant, the Old Daoist Yuan Ze’s body trembled. He lowered his head and remained seated, as if he was continuing to cultivate…

A streak of sanguine light quietly seeped into the old Daoist Yuan Ze’s essence soul, staining his soul and consciousness.

A moment later, the old Daoist priest Yuan Ze exhaled softly. His listless eyes gradually regained their luster as he said softly, “Master, rest assured!”

“I swear on my life that I will succeed!”

5,000 kilometers away, in a desolate forest.

Daoist Wen Jing sat cross-legged on a huge rock quietly. A charming smile appeared on her seductive face.

It’s too easy to plot against these Heaven Immortals.
