My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 239 Rescue Aunt-Master Tree!

Chapter 239 Rescue Aunt-Master Tree!

In a dark and short room, the low-ranking official brought Li Changshou to that place. After searching for a while, he took out a piece of jade and cast it skillfully.

Soon, a few lines of small words appeared on the surface of the jade...

Looking at the information displayed on the jade, Li Changshou first felt... relieved.

Fortunately, that Aunt-Master had nothing to do with his spiritual trees!

Ahem, he was still worried although the probability of that happening was very low.

Moreover, the idea itself was ridiculous.

However, Li Changshou had been a little worried previously. He was worried that his Aunt-Master’s reincarnation would be among the old trees that he had accidentally chopped. Li Changshou was no longer worried after seeing the records of the Netherworld. Aunt-Master’s reincarnation had nothing to do with him!

She had reincarnated into a Major Chiliocosm!

Li Changshou looked carefully for a while. After confirming that he had not remembered wrongly, he cupped his hands and thanked the low-ranking official beside him before rushing back to meet up with the Sect Leader.

Saving the tree was as urgent as putting out a fire.

The five of them did not dare to delay any further. They decided to continue moving together and head to the place where the tree spirit of Wan Jiangyu was born. They wanted to see if they could obtain anything.

However... apart from Jiang Lin’er, who was unwilling to give up, and Youqin Xuanya, who still believed that “the humans will trump Heaven and everything will be wonderful”, the other two pure Yang and one man also felt that... their trip was destined to be fruitless. Li Changshou said, “That Major Chiliocosm is quite far away. It would take at least half a month to fly there. I feel that we should spend an hour to ask around in Fengdu City and see if we can find some way out and use the route of the Netherworld to travel to the Major Chiliocosm.”

Next, the token given by Ox-head played a crucial role.

In Li Changshou’s previous life, he had often heard people say that things would be easier to handle with more manpower. It was the same for the Heavenly Courts and the Netherworld. An hour later, the five of them quickly passed through the “well forest” outside Fengdu City under the lead of a Netherworld servant. The so-called “well forest” was actually the passage that the City God servants took to catch ghosts in the five continents and the trichiliocosm. It was connected to the City God Temples in various places.

That place was similar to the rear hall of Elder Moon’s Marriage Affinity Hall. From the outside, it looked like dozens of dry wells that contained the power of the Heavenly Dao. They were arranged in a mysterious array formation. After stepping into it, one would realize that they had fallen into the ocean of the “dried-up well”.

Li Changshou sighed...

There were countless Major and Minor Chiliocosms!

Also, the management of the Netherworld was really messy. The Heavenly Dao Land was actually thrown outside the city. It was just a little defensive array formation. It was not even guarded by any soldiers.

They were not giving the Heavenly Dao any face.

He could not continue looking anymore. If Li Changshou looked any longer, he would not be able to hold it in anymore. He would begin to plan for the merit of the Netherworld.

If he could make the Netherworld part of the Heavenly Courts and complete the reinforcement of order in the Netherworld, half of his Golden Body of Merit would probably be able to be completed! All these years of accumulation of incense merit from the Sea God Sect, he had only accumulated enough to form half a finger.

True Golden Finger.

In comparison, there were indeed too many opportunities in the Netherworld.

The five people of Immortal Du Sect were led by the Netherworld servant to a dry well that had the words ‘Earth Spirit 957’ written on it.

Li Changshou was still trying to confirm if that well was the correct “route” to head there straight. The white-robed Exalted Wang Qing and Jiang Lin’er who was clad in a white dress, had already jumped into the well together.

The scene actually had an indescribable beauty.

Ji Wuyou thanked the Netherworld servants and lowered his head to jump into the well, after which he sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou and Youqin Xuanya and instructed them to be at ease and jump into the well too.

Li Changshou held onto a treasure pouch containing Spirit Stones and precious materials and smiled as he gave it to the Netherworld servants who brought them there. Then, he turned his head and said, “Junior Sister Youqin, you can leave first.” Youqin Xuanya shook her head gently and said, “No, Senior Brother Changshou, you jump, I jump.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Why did it suddenly become romantic?

He did not decline. He knew that Youqin Xuanya wanted to look out for them. He lifted the hem of his Daoist robe slightly and walked into the dry well. Youqin Xuanya followed closely behind with her sword on her back.

The light in front of them changed, and the surrounding scene changed as well.

There was a long and dark path in front of him. Light yellow light spots were flickering everywhere...

Sect Leader Ji Wuyou waited at a spot that was not far away. He enveloped the five of them with his Golden Immortal realm immortal power again and used his mystical abilities to bring them back to the exit.

In just a moment, they flew far away. There was a little light in front of them. They had reached the end of the road.

They entered the dry well and walked out of the other dry well. They ended up in a dilapidated temple.

In just a short while, they were far away from the five continents. When they arrived in the Major Chiliocosm, they felt... a little surreal. Ji Wuyou praised, “As expected of a treasure land of reincarnation, the Netherworld is actually so brilliant.”

Exalted Wang Qing seemed to have realized something. He mumbled, “The power of the Heavenly Dao is not something that can be achieved by humans.”

Li Changshou’s thoughts were not that complicated. They were much simpler than the two seniors...

I can use the City God Temple’s Dried-up Well as a system to quickly deploy troops. It’s quite stealthy.

Yes, after I go back, I must analyze it carefully. I shall create ‘The Transportation System of The City God Temple Which Can Be Used In Various Schemes’.

Jiang Lin’er hurriedly said, “Changshou...”

“This way, follow me!”

Li Changshou had already identified his direction and hurriedly led the way at this moment.

Ji Wuyou flicked his long sleeve, swept up four people, and charged towards the mountain range that was thousands of kilometers away.

Along the way, they passed through the clouds and fog, moving at lightning speed. It was as if they would be able to find the reincarnation of the tree spirit of Wan Jiangyu as long as they rushed there.

Soon, in a deep valley, the five of them stood in the depths of a lush forest. They looked at the old crooked tree with fallen leaves in front of them. Their hearts were heavy.

Jiang Lin’er, who had held her tears back throughout the entire journey, could not help but tear up.

She said hoarsely, “First Disciple... Jiangyu, Master is late...”

Exalted Wang Qing hugged Jiang Lin’er and comforted her softly.

Although Ji Wuyou had long known that that would happen, he could not help but sigh. He stood with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.

He thought of the figures that had disappeared from his fingertips during the passage of time.

“Senior Brother Changshou,” Youqin Xuanya asked softly, “Is it really impossible to save her?”

“Don’t worry.” Li Changshou muttered to himself. He took two steps forward, raised his hand, and pressed it against the trunk of the old tree. He closed his eyes and sensed it carefully.

The tree spirit was forcefully extracted and the old tree’s vitality was stripped away. That situation...

If I were the one who did this, why would I do that?

This old tree should be thousands of years old. It had yet to cultivate into a tree spirit. Its rich vitality had nurtured a tree spirit, which was the reincarnation of Wan Jiangyu.

Although spirits and spiritual beings were similar, there was a detailed distinction.

That old tree was similar to Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu’s parents in this life...

The cultivation level of the person who extracted the tree spirit should not be higher than the Heaven Immortal realm. There were still some Dao runes left in that place. The other party had cultivated the Li Fire Dao...

Based on the speed at which the old tree’s vitality was drained and the speed at which the Dao runes dissipated, he could verify and deduce in reverse that the other party had taken action about a month ago... Although the tree spirit was not a precious spirit root, it was still a rare catalyst herb...

When the other party took away the Tree Spirit, most of the old tree’s vitality should have been used to strengthen the tree spirit. If the other party chose to strengthen the tree spirit, it would mean that that person does not have that much confidence in the pills in the Pill Furnace...

Then... could it be...

Li Changshou stood there quietly. The other four people’s gazes were all fixed on his back.

A moment later, Li Changshou suddenly turned around!

“Sect Leader, pardon me for being bold but please use your Golden Immortal realm immortal senses to search the area nearby, within 2,500 thousand kilometers from us and see if there are Qi Refinement cultivators who can refine pills. If you can’t find any within 2,500 kilometers, please spread it out as far as possible. No matter what, I feel that we cannot give up like this.”

“Sure!”

Ji Wuyou agreed and quickly released his immortal senses to cover a few thousand kilometers nearby. Soon, his eyes lit up. Ji Wuyou said, “There’s one just 800 kilometers away! In a valley, a person is refining pills in the array formation!”

Li Changshou hurriedly asked, “Are the Dao runes of the Li Fire Great Dao in the Heaven Immortal, or the True Immortal realm?”

“Hmm... yes!”

“Quick!” Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Hurry up! Aunt-Master might still be saved!” A few of them were shocked!

The immortal power around Ji Wuyou surged, and his body disappeared with a whoosh. He turned into a streak of green light, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed 800 kilometers!

Exalted Wang Qing immediately brought Jiang Lin’er up to the sky and followed behind.

When Li Changshou captured it with his immortal senses, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou descended from the sky and smashed into the simple array formation. He heaved a sigh of relief.

They hoped that there would still be some remnant spirits.

Then, he called Youqin Xuanya along and the two of them hurriedly chased after them on a cloud.

When Li Changshou and Youqin Xuanya arrived at the valley, they saw the same scene. In the depths of a secluded valley that was blue and green... a slightly plump Daoist sat on a cushion, maintaining his posture of leaning back. However, he did not dare to move.

In front of the slightly plump Daoist, the white-haired and white-robed Exalted Wang Qing stood proudly. His left palm was aimed at the Daoist’s forehead, and there was a blue arc flashing on his palm.

If the slightly plump Daoist dared to move, he would die!

Fortunately, Exalted Wang Qing was not an unreasonable person. He knew that that person could not be blamed for that.

It was a common thing for Qi Refinement cultivators to refine pills, treasures, and weapons...

Hence, Exalted Wang Qing was only trying to intimidate him and did not attack him.

At that moment, Ji Wuyou and Jiang Lin’er were surrounding the Pill Furnace, which was no longer burning with fire. They sensed the medicinal properties in the Pill Furnace and found a few remnant Spirit Trees. The former pinched his fingers to deduce a way to save her. His frown deepened...

The latter was surprised and happy. She wanted to smash open the Pill Furnace several times, but she did not dare to act rashly... Without needing Jiang Lin’er to instruct him, Li Changshou immediately walked forward. He felt the situation in the Pill Furnace and heaved a sigh of relief.

There was still hope.

At that moment, Ji Wuyou sighed and said, “She has already become a remnant spirit. Her True Spirit has almost been refined. I’m afraid it will be hard to salvage it.”

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Sect Leader, can you save her if you use pills to restore her spirit and nurture her spirit?”

“Perhaps I can give it a try. However, where do I find such miraculous pills here?” Ji Wuyou shook his head slightly. “This pill is quite difficult to refine. Our sect does have a pill formula, but no one will easily...”

Li Changshou said in a low voice, “I’ve brought it along.”

“You brought it?”

Ji Wuyou said in surprise, “Changshou, why did you bring those pills for no reason?”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless. He could not possibly say that those pills were just one of his trump cards. When he rushed over, he only brought two pills. Since the Qi Refinement cultivators could prepare pills that could heal and save lives, he should prepare more pills that could restore remnant spirits. There was nothing wrong with him dealing with the situation where one was killed, but their True Spirit was lucky enough to survive... right?

Then, Li Changshou took out two colorful Earth Immortal elixirs that shone with colorful light and handed them to Ji Wuyou respectfully. Although the quality of the two elixirs were not high, they only required mild medicinal properties. It was fine for them to be of a lower grade.

Ji Wuyou immediately opened the Pill Furnace and used his immortal power to wrap around the remnant spirit of the tree spirits. Therefore, they could no longer tell which remnant spirit was the reincarnation of Wan Jiangyu that they were looking for. Therefore, they decided to use the medicinal effects of the immortal pills to nourish it.

Li Changshou turned around and walked to where Exalted Wang Qing was. He asked where the alchemist had gotten the tree spirits from.

In order to end the battle quickly, Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, don’t be afraid. We have no good intentions towards you.”

The slightly plump Qi Refinement cultivator’s Adam’s apple bobbed and he smiled bitterly.

Li Changshou did not officially start asking. He only asked a few simple details. The other party quickly said what he could say and could not say...

This person’s name was Cai Wei. He was a hardworking and driven cultivator. Three thousand years ago, he had gotten a Heaven Immortal Dao Fruit. He had been working hard and was dedicated to his cultivation, avoiding the fighting and killing practices of the Qi Refinement cultivators...

After three thousand years of hard work, he finally reached the mid-stage of Heaven Immortal Realm.

He had some hope for longevity. What happened today was purely Cai Wei’s daily cultivation routine...

Ahem, that’s not it. It’s because he had been frequenting the famous World Edge Pavilion in the Major Chiliocosm and experienced the temporary love crisis which improved his understanding of the Great Dao. Cai Wei was a little cash-strapped recently, so he hid there and refined pills.

Who would have thought that when Cai Wei was humming and refining pills, a Golden Immortal descended from the sky and came for him. He snatched his Pill Furnace and even glared at him...

“Dear Immortals, I really didn’t know! I really didn’t know that your friend and family member is one of the herbs!” “Fellow Daoist, you don’t have to be afraid,” Li Changshou said in a gentle voice. He took out two bottles of pills from his chest. “These are pills of similar quality and value as the pills you want to refine. They are refined by everyone in our sect. You can take them as compensation.”

The plump Qi Refinement cultivator said that he did not need it.

Exalted Wang Qing frowned impatiently and the plump Qi Refinement cultivator instantly nodded and kept the two bottles of pills that Elder Wan Linyun had produced. That could be considered severing karma.

At that moment, Jiang Lin’er’s voice came from behind Li Changshou...

“Jiangyu!”

Li Changshou and Exalted Wang Qing looked over at the same time. There were already a few fist-sized green balls of light on the Sect Leader Ji Wuyou’s palm.

“Marshal! Marshal!”

In front of the one-line-sky at the east of Fengdu City, a Netherworld servant rushed over and panted heavily. He shouted at the Soul-Reaping Envoy lying on a rock beside him.

“I just heard from the people in the city that the five Ren School Immortals have left the Soul Return Well with your token!” “They left?”

Ox-head immediately sat up. He widened his eyes and turned to look at the cloths on both sides of the table. There were words of greeting written on them.

For example, “The Netherworld welcomes you”, “The Netherworld is my home, and its stability depends on everyone”, “Today, we’re brothers, there’s no need to squeeze through the Reincarnation Path”... They were all rather common slogans. It was a pity that he could not use the words ‘Come home often’ that he had racked his brains to think, anymore!

“Forget it, if they have left, so be it. I think there’s something urgent for them to see to,” Ox-head said in disappointment.

“Marshal, what should we do? The brothers have worked so hard to make so many flags.”

The Ox-head thought for a while and casually made arrangements. “Can’t we just give one to each of the immortals who pass by here in the future?” “You’re brilliant, Marshal!”

“Tsk, hehe... Uh, the Great Magi is always making me unable to forget my current identity... Hmm, I’m trying to build up my emotions... Moo? Moo?”

“Yes, very similar!”
