Chapter 85: The Plan to Destroy Mosquitoes Is...

“Elder, you should go to Heaven-Breaking Peak first. I will return to the peak to cultivate soon.”

He had just entered the mountain-protecting array and entered the mountain gate carved out of white jade.

Li Changshou handed the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and the treasure pouch containing the battle spoils to Elder Wan Linyun respectfully.

It was not that he did not want to hide and keep any of the treasures for himself.

Most of the storage Dharma treasures that he had collected this time were destroyed in Elder Wan Linyun’s poisonous flames. There was not much value left...

Moreover, it was a matter that concerned the survival of the sect.

It was not easy for him to have someone to rely on in the vast Primordial world.

To be frank, the Immortal Du Sect had always treated him well as an “outstanding” disciple. Even though he was the weakest and poorest disciple in the sect, he had never been put in a spot or reprimanded by anyone since he started cultivating.

On the contrary, many elders of the Hundred Mortal Hall took care of him on account of the spiritual fish and snakeheads...

Therefore, Li Changshou did not want to see the sect fall.

For example, he had revealed the two trump cards, the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and the Sensing Stone, in front of Elder Wan Linyun today.

That was a small effort for him.

His principle was to help only when he was certain that he could protect himself.

Elder Wan Linyun squinted when he saw Li Changshou lowering his head to hand over the treasures and Soul-Bewitching Pearls. He revealed a cold smile and kept them in his sleeve.

The Perfected Immortal executives at the immortal sect who were hanging their heads low and the immortals who were guarding the gate, were all worried for Li Changshou.

They did not know who this disciple who was at the Void Return Stage was, but... they felt that he would be unpredictable after seeing Elder Wan Linyun’s smile!

Elder Wan Linyun immediately flew to the Heaven-Breaking Peak in a bid to talk to the Sect Leader and Grand Elder about the matter.

Li Changshou turned around and bowed to the immortals in the sect.

He then rode a cloud and flew at a low altitude. He found a cloud path that was rarely used and slowly drifted towards Little Qiong Peak.

On the way back, Li Changshou had been thinking about the mosquito that the paper doll had killed...

This mosquito...

I wonder if mosquito repellent would work on them.

When he returned to Little Qiong Peak, he saw that his junior and master were still practicing their escape techniques diligently.

Li Changshou did not disturb them and went straight to the Pill Chamber.

He activated various array formations and looked at the Sensing Stones that were hanging all over the place. Then, he let the paper effigy return to its original appearance...

A wisp of green smoke floated out from the ground and condensed into Li Changshou’s figure. He lifted his hand and grabbed the paper effigy before putting it into his sleeve.

He mumbled, “Speaking of mosquito-killing agents... What is going on? What are mosquitoes afraid of? Should I add poison to blood?”

Li Changshou was amused by his own thoughts.

If it was really a ruthless character like Daoist Wen, he would definitely not be able to deal with them.

However, Li Changshou could think of a way to deal with a mosquito that could control puppets and be smacked to death by paper effigies, like the ones he encountered today.

The Man-Forming Paper Cutouts had natural targets to restrain!

Come to think of it...

The various arrangements that I had made in the past six months have not been in vain.

The sacrifice of those old trees was worth it!

Li Changshou lamented in his heart. He took out the previous paper effigies, who had cleaned up the battlefield and recited the sutras.

He opened the Pill Furnace and injected the True Samadhi Flames into the paper dolls with the original mystical abilities.

The flames danced, and the paper effigies turned into ashes.

Then, Li Changshou checked the pieces of items that could prevent deductions on his body...

After making sure that everything was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Very quickly, he was lost in his thoughts again. He quietly thought about what he might have exposed.

The paper effigies that killed the mosquito had simulated his aura...

He and Elder Wan Linyun had never shown themselves...

The Elder’s True Flames almost burnt that mountain down to nothing...

“There should not be any mistakes.”

However, Li Changshou realized that Elder Wan Linyun shared a similarity with his master. They were both easily triggered.

Could it be that they had been cultivating in the mountains for too long and had forgotten about the dangers of the Primordial World?

Fortunately, I managed to stop the elder in time the past few times. Otherwise, if he personally appeared and was ambushed by the mosquitoes, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

As he paced back and forth in the Pill Chamber, he kept trying to figure out what was going on. His train of thought gradually became clearer...

What happened today was not beyond his expectations.

Half a year ago, he had made a list of all the possible ways things could develop.

The battle today only confirmed two or three storylines.

“As expected.”

Apart from the fact that the Immortal Du Sect was under the Ren School, there was nothing special about it.

The reason why he had attracted the attention of others was that the Immortal Du Sect and the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Golden Ao Island had a little conflict earlier on.

Some people wanted to make an issue of that.

This mastermind had set up a trap in front of the Golden Palace Sect in the Middle Continent and set up an ambush on the Immortal Du Sect. That was to improve the Immortal Du Sect’s reputation so that the three sects would know that there was a sect in the East Continent that taught Dao.

After that, the mastermind would take advantage of the meet between the Three Sects and the Golden Palace Sect to control the puppets and destroy the Immortal Du Sect...

To the mastermind, the price and risks were very small but they could achieve a great goal!

Li Changshou seemed to have seen a black shadow standing behind the Immortal Du Sect and reaching out to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

However, there was an even more magnificent figure behind the black figure. It was slightly blurry, and it wanted to slap the black figure in front of it away.

The major sects were fighting in secret.

The Immortal Du Sect had a chance of winning.

The mastermind behind all of this did not dare to come down personally. He only dared to control the puppet remotely through mosquitoes!

This point was verified through the memory fragments of the remnant soul. In the memories of those people and demons, there were the sounds of mosquitoes.

The main point was what the Immortal Du Sect would do next.

If Li Changshou’s prediction was correct, there would be a series of sounds soon...

It was definitely not going to be the classic sutra of a certain monk in his afterlife.

Suddenly...

Ding~

Ding~

The Heaven-Breaking Peak bell rang.

The sound of the bell was extremely penetrating this time.

...

Once the bell rang, two figures flew out from the various peaks and flew towards the Immortal Du Sect on the main peak.

By the lake, Qi Yuan immediately rushed to Heaven-Breaking Peak on a cloud when he heard the bell ringing.

After all, he was the master of a peak in name.

When Li Changshou saw that, he quickly sent a few instructions to his master. He instructed his master to say silent no matter what he heard or saw and told him to just follow the sect’s arrangements.

The sound of the bell woke many disciples who were in seclusion. The Immortal Du Sect became livelier.

The bell that rang during emergency situations might not even ring once every thousand years. The Qi Refinement cultivators of the various peaks were all watching, wondering what had happened...

Not long after, sixteen figures flew out of the Heaven-Breaking Peak and rushed out of the mountain-protecting array, heading towards the “large gray scene”.

The first person was the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, followed by Wan Linyun and the other experts in the sect.

Li Changshou knew...

They were not testing the results of the battle. They should be searching for the main force of the enemy.

However, they were destined to return empty-handed this time. At most, they would replace some clues left behind when the other party left in a hurry.

The next time the other party appeared, he would definitely launch a full-scale attack on the Immortal Du Sect. Moreover, it should not be too long until then...

Something would definitely happen in three years!

The storm was brewing, and the small peaks were sitting alone.

Li Changshou lay on the rocking chair, holding a jade slip that he had copied in the Dao Repository Hall. He quietly read the words and looked at the images on it.

This feeling of being able to see through the entire situation was quite satisfying...

Of course, the best thing should be that nothing happened...

The jade slip was called the Hundred Spirit Records. It contained information about plenty of delicious... Ahem, plenty of rare spiritual beasts.

There were actually many natural enemies of mosquitoes.

However, if he wanted to replace some spiritual beasts that had good spiritual powers, could restrain the Blood Mosquitoes that he had seen today, and could reproduce in large numbers, it would be very troublesome for him.

Hard work does not disappoint.

An hour later, Li Changshou’s eyes lit up. He had indeed discovered a spiritual beast that he had been raising in the spiritual beast enclosure of the Little Qiong Peak...

A small smile appeared on his face as he retrieved a porcelain bottle from his pocket.

Back then, when he went to the North Continent to pick herbs, he killed Yuan Qing’s group and obtained a pair of Love Gu.

Love Gu was a type of hex parasite. It was considered a witchcraft technique, not a Daoist technique.

At first, Li Changshou wanted to give them to the most precious spiritual beasts he could obtain. He wanted them to mate and create some value...

However, he had yet to replace a suitable target.

Some time ago, when he was refining pills to strike a fortune, Li Changshou had studied many unorthodox pill formulas and accidentally found the method to sustain the Love Gu.

He would feed the Love Gu with the Solidifying Poison Herb, turn it into a rock, and call it the Love Stone.

He would then add the spiritual spring water and many herbs to the Love Stone. After soaking for 49 days, he could obtain a type of secret pharmaceutical water.

The potion was a rare item. It had the same effect as the Acacia Tree of Elder Moon. It could even be used in alchemy...

The bottle of pills in Li Changshou’s hand was refined from that pharmaceutical water.

Of course, it was specially made for rare spiritual beasts!

“You’ve worked hard... Big Jade and Small Jade.”

Li Changshou stood up, smiled, and floated back to the spiritual beast enclosure at the back of the mountain.

Just as Ling’e was practicing Water Escape, she stood on her tiptoes and looked in the direction of the Pill Chamber. She happened to see Li Changshou floating over with his hands behind his back.

“Stupid Senior Brother, why didn’t he come over to talk to me!?!”

“I’ve been practicing for days and nights without rest. He’s not considerate at all...”

The direction Senior Brother went in...

Ling’e pursed her lips and hurriedly followed him. She wanted to see what he was going to get up to in the spiritual beast enclosure.

She did not want to talk to him!

Not long after, Ling’e flew to the sky above the spiritual beast enclosure to see him squatting beside a pool.

Li Changshou waved at Ling’e without looking back...

Ling’e understood what he meant. She retracted her aura and floated to his side on the cloud. She folded her skirt and knelt on the grass, following his gaze.

“Uh...”

“Shh!”

Li Changshou gestured for her to keep quiet. Ling’e could not help but hold her forehead with one hand, not daring to look further.

On a lotus leaf in the pond in front of them, there were two extremely rare “spirit-eating jade frogs” that looked like jade. They were indescribable...

Ling’e pursed her lips and looked away. She whispered to Li Changshou, “Senior Brother, although I’m deeply in love with you, you have to take note of your image! There are some things that cannot be made public. It will affect my evaluation of you.”

Li Changshou replied casually, “Thank you, then. Help me change your evaluation of me to mid-tier.”

Ling’e rolled her eyes and snorted. “I don’t want... I have a good evaluation of you!”

She suddenly blinked and looked at the jade frog. She suddenly recalled something.

“Senior Brother, didn’t you say that this kind of spiritual beast is very hard to reproduce? I thought you couldn’t bear to use them when refining pills and drinking?”

Li Changshou waved the empty porcelain bottle in his hand and said with a smile, “I have my own plans.”

“This is...”

Ling’e suddenly understood something. Her face turned red. At first, she felt a little disgusted. Then, she blinked and deliberately said,

“Eh—

“Senior Brother, you have indeed secretly refined this pill!

“The books were right. It is inevitable for cultivators who liked to refine pills to have such thoughts! Ah, on account that I am your little junior sister... Senior Brother, do you still have any spiritual beasts to mate?”

“I will do my best to help you!”

Li Changshou said calmly, “Don’t have any bold ideas. I have placed a special restriction on every bottle of these pills.”

“Petty miser... How can you be so wary of your junior sister? What kind of a senior brother are you!?!”

“I can’t help it. After all, I have a junior sister who has complicated thoughts.”

Ling’e rolled her eyes and looked away at the spiritual beast enclosure at the side. However, her thoughts were elsewhere.

Naturally, she did not know that Li Changshou was indeed busy with work.

That spiritual beast would become an extremely important part of the defense system of Little Qiong Peak...

Moreover, after this calamity, the Jade Frogs would not be wasted. He could also call his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu over, cook the frogs in a hot pot and enjoy them for a meal.

The taste should be pretty good!

...

After half a day, the dozen or so experts who had gone out returned to the Heaven-Splitting Peak.

After a while, the Sect Leader personally declared that all disciples would be forbidden from going out from that day onwards. The mountain-protecting array was completely sealed.

Following that, the Sect Leader and the few Grand Elders discussed carefully with Elder Wan Linyun about what they should do next...

Elder Wan Linyun was about to be promoted to Grand Supreme. However, he did not care about that. He would usually still cultivate and refine pills silently at Pill Tripod Peak.

At this moment, he was in the sect. His reputation and influence were not good, but his status was not low.

Elder Wan Linyun had single-handedly killed many powerful enemies and resolved a crisis for the Immortal Du Sect. Therefore, the sect had to express their gratitude.

However, it was inappropriate to use “rewards” on an elder who had contributed so much. It was also inappropriate to call it a token of gratitude...

The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect thought about it and could only smile and say, “Elder Wan Linyun, you must have used a lot of precious poisonous pills this time. The sect should compensate you for the losses.”

Elder Wan Linyun frowned slightly. He looked at the storage ring that the Sect Leader handed him and instinctively shook his head to reject him.

It was only right for him to do that for the sect. He could not accept such a reward.

However, soon, Elder Wan Linyun recalled something. The corners of his lips curled into a cold smile.

On the other hand, he could treat it as a reward for Li Changshou...

“I’ll take it.”

With that said, Elder Wan Linyun turned around and walked to the door with his walking stick, leaving them to look at his old and elegant back.

The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, who was actually of the same generation as Elder Wan Linyun, immediately frowned. He looked at the Grand Elders sitting behind him and asked softly, “Did I say something wrong just now and make Elder Wan unhappy?”

The Grand Elders could only smile bitterly. They were not too familiar with Elder Wan Linyun too...
