Chapter 173 The Little Daoist Master With the Certificate

“Little Daoist Master Xuan Du?”

On an inconspicuous island in the South Ocean, Daoist Wen Jing, who was dressed in a sanguine chiffon dress, was sitting in the shadows of a reef. She slowly opened her narrow, phoenix-like eyes, which were sparkling. Could this be the person who ruined her plans when she was plotting against the Immortal Du Sect?

She had naturally witnessed the scene of the little Daoist Master destroying her puppet. However, she only saw the Blood Mosquito, which had a wisp of her Mind Entrust, controlling the fake Golden Immortal of the Sea Clan. When the two of them were fighting, she could feel it at a close distance.

If the other party had not attacked too quickly and there were too many real and fake incarnations that caused her to be unable to react in time, she would have already sent her spiritual will over.

“A cultivator of the Heaven Immortal realm should have been like an ant, but he actually could…”

The array formations that appeared out of thin air in Daoist Wen Jing’s heart, as well as the strange mystical ability to turn one’s Qi into three impurities, as well as the name that made one’s imagination run wild…

Gradually, an absurd thought surfaced in Daoist Wen Jing’s mind.

Could this little Daoist Master be that man’s disciple?

Otherwise, how could that man let him off so easily for using his name…

As for why Ren School interfered with the matters of the Sea Clan and who the little Daoist Master Xuan Du referred to when he mentioned ‘His Majesty’, it was none of Daoist Wen Jing’s concern.

At that moment, the ones in charge of plotting against the dragon race were the disciples of the two elders. She was just doing some dirty work and being an assistant. She was not the one who had set up a trap to ambush the Second Prince of the East Ocean’s Dragon Palace.

If it was her, why would she make it so troublesome?

She would secretly control the mermaid princess and let her plot against Ao Yi.

They had alarmed everyone and were even schemed against…

As she pursed her lips, a wisp of Dao runes suddenly floated over. An old Daoist’s voice sounded beside Daoist Wen Jing’s ear. “Wen Jing, get your puppets to get ready to retreat. Someone is stirring up trouble today I’m afraid there are experts hiding in the dark.”

Then, the Dao runes faded.

Hmph, I’m also a disciple of the Saint. The difference is too great…

The corners of Daoist Wen Jing’s lips curled up slightly. She gave the orders to the Heavenly Immortal realm Sea Clan puppets in her heart and did not bother about it anymore.

While in a daze, a water curtain appeared in her heart together with a slightly distorted figure behind it.

Inexplicably, a feeling of restlessness that had not appeared in a long time silently arose in her heart…

Huh?

Why would I have such thoughts? Could it be that I have fallen for this Great Daoist Master?

Daoist Wen Jing squinted slightly and calmed the restlessness in her heart. She frowned and pondered for a while. In the end, she smiled charmingly with an icy cold gaze in her eyes.

That man’s blood is definitely different.

In the merman city of the East Ocean, Li Changshou returned to the courtyard where the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was. He stepped on the stone slabs that were made of unknown materials and felt a little more at ease.

Even with the protection of a small pagoda when his main body was going out to fight, he still felt that it was too risky.

Li Changshou performed a Dao salute to the Great Daoist Master.

The Great Daoist Master smiled and nodded. At that moment, he seemed to be thinking about something. Li Changshou did not dare to disturb him.

After dispersing the transformation technique and the illusions, he took off his mask and casually burned it with True Flames.

Li Changshou rubbed his face again and restored his original appearance.

In front of the Great Daoist Master, such an act was disrespectful.

After that, Li Changshou began to wonder why the two Flame of Heart Spirit Pills were destroyed.

A trump card that could not be controlled freely was not a good one.

It did not seem to be a problem with the refinement process…

The last time the Flame of Heart Pill suddenly shattered, it was because he had opened it and shut down the restrictions around the pills too frequently. As a result, the spiritual beasts in the town were in a riot. His master’s thousand-year-old body was almost destroyed…

Ahem, almost, almost.

This time, the reason that the Flame of Heart Pill had shattered was due to the fact that the medicinal properties in it had been used up at some point in time. The medicinal pill had already lost its spiritual energy and medicinal effects. That was why it was destroyed. Were the immortal senses of a Golden Immortal too powerful? Or was it because too many immortal senses had locked onto him when he appeared?

Li Changshou used his immortal senses to observe the various parts of the city. In an instant, he had a definite answer…

It was obviously the latter.

At that moment, some Sea Clan soldiers and rebels who were closer to the place where the battle had taken place earlier in the city were… stripping off their armor and exposing themselves. A small portion of the city had slipped into chaos…

ere

Even the living beings in the ocean, whose cultivation levels were slightly higher, were not in the right state right now. There were even a few True Immortal realm fish spirits that had transformed into their true forms. They were restless and started to churn…

The scene of the fierce battle in the city was rapidly collapsing…

Could it be!

Li Changshou’s lips twitched.

Previously, he had discovered that the Flame Of Heart Pill’s effect on the spiritual beasts had been magnified several times.

Could it be that the Sea Clan and the spiritual beasts… shared the same principle?

“What’s going on?” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du also realized that situation. He frowned and watched the increasingly indescribable scenes in the city.

Li Changshou had already walked to the spot behind the Great Daoist Master and smiled awkwardly. The two of them observed their surroundings.

Gradually, Li Changshou realized that things were getting worse… The Sea Clan’s self-control was too weak. By right, the pills had already shattered and the medicinal properties had already passed.

Why… is romance blossoming everywhere?

Are these Sea Clan members prone to getting into relationships?

The Great Daoist Master could not help but turn to look at Li Changshou. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. He asked, “Changshou, what… did you do secretly?”

“When I was fighting with the Golden Immortal, I used a special pill. Please take a look, Great Daoist Master.”

Li Changshou did not dare to hide anything. He quickly took out an immortal sense poisonous pill and handed it to the Great Daoist Master.

He also mentioned, “Great Daoist Master, this pill is an immortal sense poisonous pill. It was created by the Heavenly Immortal Elder Wan Linyun, who studied the Dao of alchemy in the Immortal Du Sect. I only added some Love Water refined from the Love Gu to the foundation of the immortal sense poisonous pill that Elder Wan Linyun created.”

Grandmaster Xuan Du looked at the pill carefully. Naturally, he was not affected by the pill. He could not help but laugh out loud…

“Hahaha, you’re really something! My Ren School is also blessed to have such a clever little disciple like you!” The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du put the Flame Of Heart Pill away without a trace. He smiled and said, “If you had been born tens of thousands of years earlier, why would I bother Elder Moon?”

Li Changshou could only lower his head and smile bitterly. It seemed a little inappropriate to use the word ‘clever’ on a two-hundred-year-old mature Qi Refinement cultivator like him. However, it was fortunate that he was not called a little genius or something…

The Great Daoist Master stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, “From the looks of it, these rebels in the city should be retreating after being frightened by you, Little Daoist Master. Tell me, how did you think of using the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts to imitate the Three Pure Ones’ mystical abilities?”

“Great Daoist Master, these are all because my cultivation level is too low and I’m in an unstable place like the Primordial World. Therefore, I have to think of ways to protect myself when I’m in danger.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Great Daoist Master, you have great achievements. You have to worry about Ren School every day. Naturally, you won’t think about these tricks.”

It was obvious that Li Changshou was hinting at something… Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and shook his head. He then asked, “You seemed to be interested in letting Little Daoist Master Xuan Du leave a bad impression on others. Why?”

“This…” Li Changshou deliberated over his words and said, “I feel that the Dao of disguise should not be just a superficial aura. His gaze, temperament, speech, actions, and even words that he often says, should be different. Only then will the enemy be confused. For example, I used a paper effigy to turn into an old woman and called myself an old woman. Just now, I hid my body and aura and went out to fight the enemy. I used the identity of Little Daoist Master Xuan Du, so I was more confident. It fits the words and actions of a disciple of yours. I’m slightly conceited, and I’m a little inexperienced…” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du looked enlightened. He looked at Li Changshou and smiled.

“In terms of meticulousness, I’m inferior to you. In the future, I still have to spend more time on comprehending the Great Dao and understanding nature. I shouldn’t be scheming, or Teacher won’t like it.”

Li Changshou’s expression was serious. He bowed and said, “I will follow your instructions, Great Daoist Master.”

All of a sudden, a few curses were heard from the chaotic voices outside.

“Don’t let these traitors escape!”

“The dragon race is approaching. Stop them!”

Due to the sudden appearance of “Little Daoist Master Xuan Du” and the threat of him “easily” killing a Golden Immortal, the Sea Clan rebellion army had already removed the array formation and quickly retreated to the deep sea.

Seeing this, the Sea Clan’s generals, ministers, guards, and maidservants, who had been hiding during the chaotic battle, suddenly appeared in a magical manner and rushed to Ao Yi, who was in the corner of the city. “Guard! Guard!”

“Your Highness Ao Yi, I have arrived late!” Li Changshou kept the four paper effigies and used his immortal senses to look at Ao Yi’s current situation. His expression… became a little strange…

Grandmaster Xuan Du smiled and said, “It’s fine. Let’s go.”

“Great Daoist Master, I’m worried about Ao Yi’s safety. I wonder if I can ask you to stay for a while longer.” Li Changshou lowered his head and said, “Demons are cunning. I’m worried that there are traitors in this place.”

The Great Daoist Master nodded. “Alright.”

Then, the Great Daoist Master came up with another question to test how Li Changshou would make use of that matter next.

Li Changshou pondered for a while and deliberated his words. He could only say that he would act according to the situation and see the exact reaction of the dragon race. At the current stage, he would respond to all changes by not changing.

If the dragon race guessed that the Heavenly Courts were helping and had a good impression of the Heavenly Courts, he would let nature take its course.

If they got wary of the Heavenly Courts, he could use Ao Yi and other methods to eliminate their vigilance…

This time, it was the Western Sect who made the move. The Ren School had already foiled the Western Sect’s scheme. Ren School was not at a loss.

The only reason that the Heavenly Courts could make its presence known a little was because Li Changshou had a sudden inspiration and the Heavenly Courts had made a small profit… “Changshou.” the Great Daoist Master instructed, “If you do well, the Heavenly Dao will definitely send you a lot of merits to reward you. With merit protecting you, your cultivation path will be much safer. You need to spend more effort on this matter. The Heavenly Dao will give you more merit.”

After saying that, the Great Daoist Master took out a jade pendant from his chest pocket and clenched it slightly. The jade pendant slowly melted and condensed into a green jade token. On the front, there were five large words written in bold and lively fonts -“Little Daoist Master Xuan Du!”

On the back, there were the words ‘Ren School’ and ‘Great Daoist Master’.

The most important thing was the wisp of Dao runes had been infused into the jade token.

“If the Western Sect finds trouble with you, take this out and give it to them.” Grandmaster Xuan Du said calmly, “We don’t have many people in Ren School. In fact, only my teacher and I are in charge of this, but you don’t have to be afraid of the Western Sect. When you transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation, I’ll bring you to the Tushita Palace to greet the Grand Supreme Elder first. When that happens, we’ll see how your luck is. I hope that you will not be arrogant, and instead be patient, and remember to stay calm and quiet at all times. This is Teacher’s teachings to all disciples.”

Li Changshou held the jade token with both hands and felt much more at ease. He said firmly, “Today, I will definitely not forget a single word that you have taught me, Great Daoist Master!”

The Great Mage praised Li Changshou repeatedly. He raised his hand and patted Li Changshou’s arm. His eyes were filled with admiration and gratification.

At that moment, a series of roars of dragons came from the sea. Dozens of azure dragons rushed into the sea and swam towards the place at high speed.

“Let’s go.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du waved his long sleeve and turned Li Changshou and himself into two balls of smoke before disappearing into the seawater.

From the beginning to the end, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du did not reveal his whereabouts at all.

The name of Little Daoist Master Xuan Du was also officially spread throughout the Primordial World…

When the experts from the dragon race rushed over, they stared at each other in shock upon sight of the scene…

A dragon-headed elder said with a trembling voice, “Didn’t you say that His Highness the Second Prince is in trouble and that chaotic battle might have erupted here? Why, why… are things like this?”

“Look, His Highness the Second Prince is over there!”

“Uh, should we not disturb them?”

“Hey! Quickly set up the barrier! What kind of behavior is this!?! Why did they lead His Highness astray!?!”

Immediately, a group of dragon race experts split into two teams. One team chased after the rebellion army, while the other team… went to protect their Second Prince.

Li Changshou did not even get to bid farewell to the Great Daoist Master this time. After being in a daze in the seawater, he appeared near Jiu Wu and his paper effigies. He was less than 500 kilometers away from the paper effigy that was meditating.

The Great Daoist Master had already left.

Li Changshou sighed softly. He looked at the jade token in his hand and smiled.

Another life-saving amulet!

The loss of fifty-six miniature array disks was worth it. Hmm, I’ll look for the wealthy dragon family and get themto reimburse me later. That would be a profit…

What Li Changshou did not know was that the Great Daoist Master had left in a hurry because of something else.

The Great Daoist Master returned to the Tushita Palace of the Heavenly Courts and went to the place where the Grand Supreme Elder was in seclusion to seek an audience. He asked if the Grand Supreme Elder had all the thirty-six mystical abilities.

What kind of expert was the Grand Supreme Elder? He was the incarnation of a Saint and was half a Saint. He would naturally not collect such a mystical ability that was just organized by the Immortals of the Dao Sect.

It was too low-level…

The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du bowed and bade farewell. He then secretly went to the Dao Repository of Ren School and the other Immortal Sects to search carefully.

It’s just a Man-Forming Paper Cutouts technique but Little Changshou managed to use it to get up to so many tricks. I really wanted to see how much fun this fellow would be able to get up to after learning the Dharmic formulations such as Soldier Formation, Stone Armor, and Cloud-forming Immortal!

Hahahahahaha…

Li Changshou, who was trying to use his real body to replace his paper effigy while exhibiting Earth Escape, sneezed. He frowned and pondered. He began to analyze why he had such a reaction. He was worried that his identity as a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect had been exposed…

Half a day later, in a luxurious yet spacious palace, corals were placed everywhere, and bubbles floated.

On the bed, Ao Yi opened his eyes. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

The unfamiliar ceiling…

An unfamiliar aura…

An unfamiliar woman… Huh?!
