Chapter 414 This Child Doesn’t Even Know How to Get Into Trouble!

‘Uncle-Master Yu Ding is too annoying…’

The voice kept echoing in Li Changshou’s ears and did not dissipate for a moment.

This overly delicate Ling Zhuzi.

That fearless little Nezha who was not afraid of anything, who poked his father with a long spear, stirred up the East Ocean with the Heavenly Silk, and beat the old Dragon King with the Cosmic Bangles…

What did this child experience?

Could it be that Ling Zhuzi’s personality changed drastically after being reincarnated? The reincarnation of Ling Zhuzi did not go through the Six Paths of Reincarnation. After he turned into Nezha, it seems that his memories have disappeared. His cultivation level should still be there. Logically speaking, his personality should not have changed much…

That was the first time Li Changshou felt that he could not grasp the sequence of the Primordial World and the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

“Changgeng, you have many ideas.”

Perfected Tai Yi grabbed Li Changshou’s arm. “Take it that I owe you a favor. Help me come up with an idea.” Li Changshou pondered for a while and nodded calmly. He said, “Why do you have to give an explanation to the Saint about your son Ling Zhuzi?”

Perfected Taiyi sighed and explained as he pulled Li Changshou into the Cave Abode.

“This disciple of mine was originally a pearl that was nurtured in the treasure pool of Kunlun Mountain. Ever since the ancient times, it had absorbed the essence of the sun and moon and gradually developed intelligence. His background was clean and his aptitude was extraordinary. If he transformed, he would be able to obtain a Pure Blessing Primordial Spirit.

Teacher gave me that spiritual pearl and asked me to help it transform and take it in as a disciple. After three thousand years of cultivation, it transformed into a five-year-old boy. Ah…” Perfected Taiyi heaved a long sigh. “At first, I did not think much of it. As a boy transformed from a spiritual pearl, he did not have a masculine aura nor a feminine aura. It was reasonable. However, I gradually realized that his personality is rather soft.” As they spoke, Li Changshou and Perfected Yu Ding had already followed Perfected Taiyi into the Golden Light Cave. Perfected Taiyi did not greet them and the two of them did not stand on ceremony. They sat around a stone table.

Li Changshou pondered for a while and asked, “Can you give me a detailed example?”.

Perfected Taiyi thought for a while and said, “He has just transformed for five years…”

On a hillside in Qianyuan Mountain, there were shallow grass and wildflowers everywhere. A handsome young Daoist was meditating and cultivating in the sunlight. Not far away, a beautiful boy was spreading his small hands and continuously throwing butterflies.

As he pounced, the boy exclaimed. The young Daoist opened his eyes and his forehead darkened.

The boy was squatting on the ground and carefully holding a butterfly in his hand. He blew a mouthful of immortal Qi at the butterfly and said softly, “I’m sorry for hurting you.”

The little butterfly gently flapped its wings and slowly flew up. It circled around the boy, who let out a bell-like laugh.

At this moment!

Huff…

A black shadow descended from the sky. It was a huge foot that blocked the boy.

The young Daoist priest’s forehead was tense as he growled, “Is this how men play with butterflies?”

The boy pursed his lips and said with tears in his eyes, “M-Master… you will scare the little butterfly.”

“Scared?”

The young Daoist smiled slightly. His eyes seemed to have turned into triangles that flickered with malicious light.

He raised his left hand and released a wisp of immortal light from his fingertips. The young Daoist said calmly, “Today, I’ll let you see how a man should play! One finger of Yin and Yang! Two fingers! Three fingers!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A few streams of light flew past the butterfly. The little butterfly tried its best to flap its wings. The boy was so frightened that he covered his mouth and cried.

The young Daoist kept chasing after the butterfly. Streams of light shot out from his fingertips and he laughed wildly…

Perfected Taiyi paused and looked at the two immortals from the Dao Sect who were rubbing their fists and taking out their Dharma treasures. He moved his chair back. “Junior Brothers, what are you doing? I’m trying to lure the spiritual pearl back to the right path!”

The small tripod in Perfected Yu Ding’s hand trembled slightly. He glared at Perfected Tai Yi and retracted the small tripod.

Li Changshou also retracted the Da Yu Water-Conquering Painting. When he saw that Perfected Yu Ding wanted to attack, he wanted to take the opportunity to fight and earn a favor.

Perfected Yu Ding said, “Senior Brother, you are the cause of the spiritual pearl’s personality.”

“No, no, no.” Perfected Taiyi kept shaking his head. “This personality is innate. I just want to agitate him to protect the butterfly and be responsible. Changgeng, do you have any ideas?”

Li Changshou said, “Can you take a look at the spiritual pearl, Disciple-Nephew? What are you doing now?”

“Alright.” Perfected Taiyi agreed without much hesitation. He attracted some water from a treasure pool in the Cave Abode and formed a water mirror. The situation of the spiritual pearl appeared in it. Li Changshou thought, ‘Why are you so proficient?’

Ling Zhuzi was lying on a bed, hugging a thin blanket and not moving.

Perfected Yu Ding asked in concern, “What’s wrong?”

“He must have been shocked.” Perfected Taiyi raised his hand and held his forehead. “In a while, you will see… him.”

As soon as Perfected Taiyi finished speaking, a sigh sounded from the water mirror. Ling Zhuzi raised its head from the blanket and revealed a tear-stained but determined face.

At that moment, Ling Zhuzi was equivalent to the age of eighteen or nineteen of the human race. It was not short, but its body was a little thin.

Her face could not be considered feminine, but because he was the reincarnation of the Spiritual Bead, his spiritual energy was indeed more abundant.

He jumped up from the bed and walked to the vertical mirror at the side. He pursed his lips and looked at himself in the mirror. Then, he started staring and frowning.

Yes, if not for the corner of his mouth, he would indeed be very dignified.

Then, Ling Zhuzi sighed dejectedly. He stood in front of the mirror and sulked for a while. Then, he perked up again. He placed his hands on his waist and puffed out his chest. He raised his head and waved his little hand in front of

it.

“I am Ling Zhuzi, the spiritual pearl of Perfected Taiyi. Demons and ghosts, quickly retreat!

Uh… I’m quite heroic.”

In the living room of the Cave Abode hundreds of feet away, Perfected Taiyi dispersed the water mirror and could not help but look up and sigh.

“What!”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Although Senior Brother might not like that, Ling Zhuzi is not bad. Why should we, Qi Refinement cultivators, be restricted to the standards of having masculine auras? Some male living beings have gentle personalities and are naturally more delicate. There are also female living beings who are born unyielding and carefree. These are all reasonable. We should tolerate them. As long as I don’t pursue this contrast, there won’t be any big problems.”

Perfected Yu Ding nodded slowly and said in a low voice, “Junior Brother Changgeng is right.”

“What are you talking about? You’re not anxious if it’s not your disciple!”

Perfected Taiyi sighed and said, “His personality has already affected his cultivation progress. In the future, he might fall because of his personality. I secretly arranged a few trials for him. Every time, he would show an indecisive and benevolent side. When he encounters difficulties, he would be afraid. He would not be able to respond even if he cries. How can he survive in the Primordial World? He cannot possibly cultivate in a cave and not go out, right? Besides, with such a personality, even if he gets the Dao Fruit of Longevity, he might be killed by Heaven Immortals if he goes

out!”

Li Changshou pondered carefully…

So, is this the root cause of your bullying of the Goddess?

However, Perfected Taiyi, who had a sense of danger and knew how to strike first, was indeed a ruthless person…

Although his cultivation level was slightly lower than that of a true ruthless person, it was still the case.

Perfected Yu Ding said, “It’s not wrong to be gentle and kind. Everyone in the world knows about the three sects. The situation in the outside world that Ling Zhuzi has to face is completely different from when we roamed the Primordial World back then.”

Perfected Taiyi shook his head in various ways. “Junior Brother, you have to be careful and prevent any mishaps. If you don’t make preparations at all times, you will definitely suffer in the future. Anyway, I’m the master of the spiritual pearl. I have to be serious! Changgeng, do you have a brilliant plan?” Li Changshou pondered for a while and sat there quietly.

Perfected Taiyi waited for a while and said softly, “I feel that you are not thinking about how to help Ling Zhuzi, but how to extort me.”

“Senior Brother, how can you say that?”

Li Changshou frowned and said, “How can I be someone who’s only after benefits? If that’s the case, how can I be trusted by Senior Brother Xuan Du?”

Perfected Yu Ding looked at him in admiration.

Unexpectedly, Li Changshou changed the topic. “However, Senior Brother Taiyi, you insisted on giving me some favors. It’s not appropriate for me to reject you. Otherwise, I will not be showing you due respect.”

Perfected Taiyi laughed. “No need. I don’t care about my pride.”

Li Changshou sighed and said with a sympathetic expression, “Ah, my temperament is set by the heavens.”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Perfected Taiyi scolded jokingly. “I can give you any favor you want, can’t I?”

The sympathy on Li Changshou’s face turned into a warm smile.

“However, personality can be improved. Let’s think of a way to improve gradually. It should be effective.”

II

Perfected Taiyi said, “What favor do you want?”

Li Changshou thought for a while and smiled. “When I need help, I will ask you to help me or stop something.”

Perfected Taiyi smiled. “Even if it’s not about your Disciple-Nephew, I wouldn’t stop you from visiting me here.”

“Alright.” Li Changshou and Perfected Taiyi looked at each other and smiled.

Perfected Yu Ding shook his head and brought his stone stool away from the two immortals.

Perfected Taiyi asked again, “Changgeng, what is your plan?” “This is a little complicated,” Li Changshou said. “Let me prepare for half a day before talking to you about it.”

When Perfected Taiyi heard that, most of his worries dissipated. He thanked Li Changshou.

Li Changshou closed his eyes and focused most of his attention on his main body. He opened a scroll and began to think carefully.

Li Changshou had never helped someone change their personality before. However, he knew that it could not be changed overnight. There had to be a process.

Therefore, what he needed to do was to formulate a long-term plan. Today, Li Changshou had received the favor from Perfected Taiyi because he wanted to have more “control” in Nezha’s story when the Great God-Conferment Tribulation arrived.

Perfected Taiyi burned the stone statue of the Goddess. It was considered a head-on clash between the two sects during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. However, the stone statue of the Goddess did not have a deep background in Jie School. She was only an Itinerant Immortal and did not cause much reaction from Jie School.

However, even so, it could be used by someone with ulterior motives…

A spark can set a prairie ablaze. If the Goddess of Stone was a kind person, Li Changshou would naturally try to save her out of consideration for testing the limits of the Heavenly Dao.

It was not that easy to come up with a script for the Heavenly Dao.

Huh?

Could he put more effort into improving Ling Zhuzi’s personality?

Although he did not know how much it would affect Nezha in the future, he could still give it a try.

As he thought about that, Li Changshou’s brush seemed to have a mind of its own. There was a long arrowhead from the right to the left on the scroll. There were options marked on the arrowhead.

Four hours later, Li Changshou walked over with a jade token outside the chess room of the Little Qiong Peak. Ling’e, Jiang Lin’er, and Jiu Yushi, who were in the pavilion, immediately grabbed the cards in their hands. Although they did not know why, the woman who was three generations older than them seemed a little guilty.

“Grandmaster, Aunt-Master.”

Li Changshou bowed and walked into the house with a smile. He went straight to the point. “I’m here mainly to ask Grandmaster about a small matter.”

Jiang Lin’er pointed at the tip of her nose in shock. “Me?”

Li Changshou said, “That’s right. After thinking about it, it’s best to ask Grandmaster about that.”

“I’m not used to your sudden questioning.”

Jiang Lin’er immediately sat up straight and felt a little uncomfortable. She raised her left foot and stepped on the round chair, causing her skirt to hang down.

“Ask away!”

“Grandmaster.” Li Changshou’s expression was serious as he asked, “Back then, when you left the Immortal Du Sect to go out and adventure, you should have been gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. You had a fighting spirit that you did not want to lose. She wanted to train outside and risk your life to enter the Heaven Immortal realm. Is that right?”

Jiang Lin’er blinked. “Yes.”

“Then, what happened?”

Li Changshou was puzzled. “Is that why Grandmaster’s temperament changed from being gentle on the outside to being unyielding on the inside… to being identical on the inside and outside?”

“This.”

Jiang Lin’er pinched her smooth chin and moaned softly. It was as if bubbles were gradually expanding above her head, and images flashed across.

When she first went out, a small team of itinerant cultivators who were slaying demons had just received a large sum of money to distribute the loot. A group of itinerant cultivators who were licking their blood gathered together to drink and chat.

“Lin Jiang, are you dressed as a man? Why do you look so delicate?” “How is that possible! I didn’t use any illusions!”

Jiang Lin’er patted her chest. Her companions immediately looked at her with trust. They continued to drink and eat meat.

“Uh…”

Jiang Lin’er supported her forehead with one hand. After all, she was now a married woman. Her life was blissful. It was best not to mention this dark history.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I roughly understand. Thank you, Grandmaster.”

“Hey! What do you understand?”

Jiang Lin’er was shocked. She slammed the table and stood up.

“I don’t drink and fight with a group of men all day! When I cultivate and sleep, I’m always away from them!”

Ling’e and Jiu Yushi looked at each other and covered their mouths to laugh.

“Yes, yes. I’m not overthinking.”

Li Changshou nodded with a smile and wrote in the jade token-One is marked by the company one keeps. Companions are very important.

Then, Li Changshou asked, “Grandmaster, what kind of personality do you think men have? They are the most precious and different from women.”

“Huh?” Jiang Lin’er thought for a while. “You’re responsible.”

“Responsible… Aunt-Master Yushi, why don’t you say it?”

Jiu Yushi thought about it seriously for a while and said softly, “Be independent.”

Li Changshou memorized it carefully and looked at Lingle before turning around to leave.

“Senior Brother, aren’t you going to ask me?”

“There’s no need. I already know your answer.”

“Don’t, Senior Brother, ask! It might be different from what you think… Stability is the most important! Senior Brother! Ah, he flew away.”

Ling’e sighed softly, causing another round of laughter in the chess room.

After a while, Li Changshou stopped in the spiritual beast enclosure and asked Xiong Lingli the same question. Xiong Lingli flaunted her recently expanded muscles.

“You must be stronger than me!” Li Changshou nodded with a smile and almost crushed the jade token.

Not long after, Li Changshou’s paper effigy moved out and investigated everywhere. In the Heavenly Courts, he asked Long Ji, the fairy from the Jade Pool, and the general of the Water God Residence. In the Sea God Temple, he asked the Divine Envoys, the devotees, and some old mortals. In the end, he sorted out the answers he had obtained and filled in the gaps in his plan. He modified some details before telling the plan to Perfected Taiyi. It was probably to throw Ling Zhuzi to the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals and nurture him for a period of time. Perfected Taiyi was rather excited. He raised his hand and pulled Li Changshou’s arm. He sighed and said, “I’ll temporarily entrust my precious disciple to you, Junior Brother!” “Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will do my best.”

Li Changshou agreed warmly and continued, “When Senior Brother tells Disciple-Nephew Lingzhu about this later, you don’t have to say too much. Just say… This is a necessary cultivation process to become an indomitable man.”

“Yes, we’ll do as Junior Brother says. We have to make him bold and not cower,” Perfected Taiyi said firmly. “It’s fine even if he’s a little reckless! This child has always been soft-hearted since he was young. He doesn’t even know how to cause trouble!”

Li Changshou was speechless. He almost believed him.
