My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 147 I Have a Date with the God of Fortune

The woman standing outside the temple looked like a mortal at first glance.

She was dressed in a light blue dress made of coarse fabric, and her figure was rather ordinary. She was not as graceful as most female Qi Refinement cultivators.

However, no matter how she hid it... the mysterious and obscure Dao runes around her still revealed her identity as an expert.

That was a classic example of being bad at disguising. Or perhaps, it was an even more brilliant disguise that would fool one into thinking that they had seen through the disguise...

Previously, after Li Changshou sent his little Grandmaster away, he told his junior sister and master to return to the secret underground chamber and continue to refine the array foundation. He also studied the method to improve the paper effigy’s mystical abilities.

One day later, Li Changshou sensed that something had happened in the South Ocean Sea God Temple. He focused his attention on the small temple.

In the past few years, the Sea God Sect was suffering from various troubles. Since Li Changshou took the initiative to get involved with the karma, he would not complain about

it...

There was someone behind him. There was no need to panic.

However, what Li Changshou found strange was that he could not tell if the matter was good or bad using his senses. There were no ominous hunches or auspicious signs.

It seemed that there were good and bad things happening at the same time... Li Changshou’s spiritual will landed on the small temple. He immediately discovered the “female” who had been pacing around incessantly outside the temple. Sensing the Dao runes on her body, he concluded that she was definitely not an ordinary Golden Immortal.

The first thing he thought of was the Western Sect. Moreover, if the other party dared to appear directly, he should not be the “sharp blades” that the Western Sect had in secret. He reckoned that she should be a famous expert in the Western Sect.

Moreover, according to Li Changshou’s calculations, there should have been experts from the Western Sect looking for him and telling him about the dragon race...

If she’s a disciple of a Western Saint, who could she be?

To be safe, Li Changshou summoned Ao Yi’s mind.

In order to prevent the dragon race from suspecting something, Li Changshou would drag Ao Yi along with him whenever he met anyone from the Western Sect.

“Sect Master, who is this person?”

Ao Yi asked using his spiritual will.

“I don’t know either,” Li Changshou said. “But it’s probably not someone from the East. Previously, there was an expert who taught me a mystical ability. I made a simple incarnation. Today, I’ll use my incarnation to meet her and see how capable she is. Brother Yi, watch from the side. If my incarnation encounters any mishap, you can inform the experts of the dragon race to come and deal with it.”

Ao Yi immediately agreed. “Be careful, Sect Master.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and did not reply. He slowly retracted half of his spiritual will. As if she had sensed that the divine will on the statue of the main god was slipping away, the woman outside immediately took a few steps forward and barged into the temple.

She quickly entered and was a little anxious. She shouted at the deity statue with a strong and “rough female voice”, “Dao... Sea God, please wait! I... I have something to ask of

you!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

How did this Great Immortal do it? She managed to reveal so much information with just one sentence! That’s not right. This should be a “reverse tactic”. She deliberately created so many loopholes and used them to make me let my guard down...

I can only say that this Fellow Daoist has belittled me.

The woman who had an unknown background but had terrifying Dao runes was either extremely bad at disguising or simply a scheming person! In tandem to Li Changshou’s principle, he had always imagined the worst possibility first...

She’s probably a tough nut to crack. Li Changshou made up his mind. He maintained a wisp of his spiritual will and kept it on the statue. He made the paper effigy, whom he had already confirmed would be the Sea God in the future, rush over on a cloud near Anshui City.

The image of the paper effigy was that of a thin and benevolent old man who often met General Dongmu. The little woman quickly walked to the statue of the main god. The members in charge of keeping incense burning in the temple and the other visitors in the temple were looking at her curiously...

The gazes of the mortals around her made her feel uncomfortable.

It’s really a torture to beg someone!

She sighed in her heart and frowned as she looked at the Sea God statue. She cupped her hands and pondered for a while.

The jade statue beside her looked familiar, but before she arrived, she had asked around. It was just a guardian. She would naturally have to find the real owner!

After hesitating for a while, she finally opened her mouth and asked in an uncertain tone, “Well, Sea God, can you show yourself?” The devotee beside her burst out laughing.

Ao Yi, who was secretly observing, was also swayed by the big sister who was suspected to be from the Western Sect.

If it was the old Ao Yi, who had just gone to Golden Ao Island to acknowledge his master, would have already caused some commotion. He would not be afraid at all.

However, the current Ao Yi was no longer the reckless person he was back then.

He had learned to analyze the situation, hide, and observe secretly.....

The old member who was in charge of keeping incense burning in the temple was dressed in a blue long-sleeved robe. He walked forward and cupped his hands at the woman. He smiled and said, “Young lady, please don’t be so rude in front of the Sea God. If you want to invite the Sea God to appear, you have to at least offer incense and kneel. The Sea God might then really appear in your dream.”

The woman frowned. “How can I do that?”

The old member who was in charge of keeping incense burning in the temple frowned and said, “Why not?”

“Forget it, forget it. I won’t ask anymore. Why should I stoop so low to your level?” The woman waved her hand, feeling a little disappointed. She turned around and walked towards the door of the temple. She actually walked suavely like a dragon! Ao Yi raised his eyebrows secretly. He suddenly realized the trace of Dao runes that the woman had forgotten to conceal...

They were rather familiar.

At that moment, the paper effigy, who had already flown to that place, looked at the woman below and sent a voice transmission.

“Fellow Daoist, are you looking for me?” When Li Changshou saw that she was leaving, his first reaction was to let her leave. It was better to avoid trouble.

However, since the other party had already appeared, she must have a motive. If he let her leave, he would not be able to feel at ease...

Hence, he directly asked for her to stay.

The woman below looked up. She thought that the old man was just passing by on a cloud. When she heard that, she kept her eyes fixed on him.

Incarnation?

She looked to her left and right. Just as she was about to speak, the paper effigy above had already descended on the ground.

The few devotees looked forward in surprise. When they saw the real immortal, they were at a loss.

Li Changshou took out a wooden tablet from his sleeve and showed it to the old member who was in charge of keeping incense burning in the temple. The latter’s spirits were lifted.

The paper effigy smiled and said, “Please retreat and close the temple door. You can wait outside the temple.”

“As you wish!”

The old member who was in charge of keeping incense burning in the temple lowered his head and expressed assent. He followed the instructions and led the few visitors out of the small temple. He then closed the wooden door. Li Changshou waved his hand and created a barrier. Then, he turned around and bowed to the strange “woman”.

Li Changshou said, “I’ve made a fool of myself. Let’s have a chat in the hall.”

The woman subconsciously held her hands behind her back and raised her head. She habitually picked up her “accent”.

However, “she” realized that her current state was a little inappropriate. She had nowhere to put her hands all of a sudden. Li Changshou, on the other hand, did not dare to be careless. He woke up secretly and entered the hall with the woman. He deliberately chatted with her in front of Ao Yi under the Sea God statue.

The “woman” secretly pinched her fingers to deduce but she could not figure out the identity of the incarnation in front of her.

Li Changshou was the first to speak. He spoke slowly in a kind voice and smiled slowly as well.

“I am the Sea God of this place. This is an incarnation of me. Fellow Daoist, why do you want to meet me?” His eyes were filled with just the right amount of vigilance. He was also somewhat confident because he was not afraid of being targeted.

It was an exquisite disguise technique. That person said, “You are an incarnation and my appearance is false too. We are even. Why don’t you reveal your real body while I return to my original appearance?” When Li Changshou heard that, he thought to himself that it was brilliant. The other party seemed to be just casually saying a few words but was actually hiding something. In just a few sentences, he had hit a critical point. Although he could not rule out the possibility that the other party had a true temperament, his cultivation level, Dao runes, and an environment like the Primordial World...

Li Changshou was willing to believe that the Three Pure Ones did not get along with each other because they had a conflict that arose from Fighting The God. He did not want to believe that person’s words. He felt that there was only superficial meaning!

Li Changshou said slowly, “Fellow Daoist, you must be joking. If I really can show myself, why would I make the faces of the statues so blurry?”

“Oh right, I failed to consider that.”

“Fellow Daoist, why don’t you transform into a man?” Li Changshou continued, “Your tone and voice are too different from that of a woman. Isn’t that a little too awkward?” “Well, hahaha, is that so?”

The “woman” smiled awkwardly and stood up. She turned around and the immortal glow around her flickered continuously. She immediately transformed into the image of a burly and dignified man.

He had a square-shaped face and a black beard. His long and narrow eyes shone with a clear glow within them. He had a so-called full forehead.

His mysterious Dao runes were even more obvious now.

That person stroked his beard and smiled. He said, “Forget it, forget it. I’ll show my true form. Do you know me, Fellow Daoist?” His words were filled with anticipation. Li Changshou frowned secretly... True form?

He was lying through his teeth, but his expression was extremely natural. He, Li Changshou, admitted defeat and felt ashamed! Li Changshou smiled and said, “Pardon me for being ignorant, but I really don’t know your true identity.” “Uh, you really don’t know me?” the person asked with a frown.

S

me

“I’ve been living in the sect for a long time. I’m not very familiar with the outside world.”

“Doesn’t that make it much easier!?!”

The person clapped his hands and laughed loudly. He was in a good mood. He sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion and spoke much faster.

“Hahaha! It’s good that you don’t know me. If you don’t know me, it won’t be embarrassing! I came here today to seek guidance from the Sea God. How did you manage to develop the tiny Sea God Sect to such a great scale so quickly? To be honest, there are many good friends in my sect who have set up quite a number of sects in the five continents. However, they were not sustainable. Even if they were forcibly established, there were only a few devotees. The amount of incense offerings they have is far less than yours. I’m here today to ask on their behalf. Fellow Daoist, can you give me some pointers? I will not seek guidance for free. If you agree, I will hand over my treasures!”

Li Changshou frowned.

As soon as he spoke, he asked about the secret to the South Ocean Sect’s rapid development?

This matter is actually simple. First of all, there was a group of Magihuman Divine Envoys who were blinded by wealth and were as strong as bulls. They used their muscles to convince the mortals.

After developing to a certain stage, I let the ancient dragon race interfere and used twenty-five percent of my merit to trick the dragon race into supporting the development of the Sea God Sect. I then made a few real dragons appear everywhere...

Naturally, Li Changshou would not say that. He decided to fool the other party. “In terms of methods, I actually just managed to win their hearts with my sincerity. I treat the devotees sincerely and so, they will sincerely offer incense.”

Unexpectedly...

“To exchange sincerity for sincerity?” The person pinched his beard and pondered for a while. Then, he sighed and said, “Fellow Daoist, you’re right. I was thinking too much. They only wanted to use their sects as a way to conceal the merits of incense. However, they ignored the mortals who would protect them.”

As he spoke, he stood up and performed a Dao salute to Li Changshou.

Then, he took out a folding fan from his chest pocket and said seriously, “This is a small token. Thank you for your guidance.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the temple. He raised his head and laughed loudly, then slowly flew up onto his cloud.

Li Changshou’s heart was filled with suspicion. He looked at the spiritual light emitted from the fan and did not know if he should pick it up.

That was not what he had expected... it didn’t seem right...

At that moment, Ao Yi used his spiritual will to send a voice transmission to the statue of the main god. “Sect Master, what you said about exchanging sincerity for sincerity is truly admirable.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless

was

The Second Sect Master believed his ridiculous lies.

Ao Yi laughed and sighed again. “I really don’t know how to praise you for being able to respond so calmly to my Uncle-Master.”

Li Changshou could not help but be stunned. He used his spiritual will to send a voice transmission.

He asked, “Is that person an immortal from Jie School? Who is he?”

“Sect Leader, do you really not know him?” Ao Yi asked curiously.

“Of course. Why would I lie to you?”

Ao Yi smiled and said, “I think his Dao runes, figure, face, and temperament are not bad. He is one of the outer sect disciples of Jie School. He is one of the eight disciples that are under the Sect Master. He is also the most commonly seen mighty figure in our sect. He’s known as... Daoist Gongming.”

Li Changshou glared at him. The paper effigy turned around and flew out, grabbing the paper fan.

Crap!

Ahem, I cannot say anything vulgar. The person who disguised himself as a woman and visited the temple is actually Zhao Gongming!

He was the brother of Her Majesty Sanxiao, and was a key figure in the God Conferment. He was a mighty figure who was able to defeat a few of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School in a row!

I can’t accept this Numinous treasure casually.

I have to salvage the situation!

Li Changshou’s paper effigy hurriedly chased after him. After a short while, he was already more than fifty kilometers away. When he saw Zhao Gongming’s back from afar, he immediately shouted while he was on the cloud, “Fellow Daoist, please stay... wait!”

Zhao Gongming was about to turn around when something happened at Li Changshou’s side.

A stream of light suddenly flew over from afar and transformed into a hunchbacked Daoist who was dressed in rags and holding a walking stick. He blocked the paper effigy’s path. The hunchbacked Daoist’s aura was very peaceful. He had a smile on his face and he looked very ordinary. However, he gave off a personable vibe.

What is going on today?

How could experts appear one after another?

Li Changshou immediately stopped and looked alert. In the distance, Zhao Gongming turned around. The hunchbacked Daoist who suddenly appeared glanced at Zhao Gongming from the corner of his eyes. He did not seem to care at all. He only smiled at the paper effigy and said, “I am the third disciple of the Saint of the Spiritual Mountain. I have been waiting for the Sea God here for a long time. If I’m not wrong, the Sea God and the Western Sect have...”

“Hold on!”

Li Changshou shouted and caused the hunchbacked Daoist to be stunned.

At that moment, Zhao Gongming had already rushed over on a cloud. Li Changshou’s mind raced. The expert from the Western Sect that he had predicted would appear, really did!

At that moment... firstly, he was afraid of hearing something ridiculous like “You and the Western Sect are fated.”

Secondly, he did not want to fall into the whirlpool of the Western Sect and Jie School...

Li Changshou made a prompt decision. The paper effigy shouted and immediately cut off the karma in that place!

“I am a Qi Refinement cultivator of the Dao Sect, the True Wonder Sect of the Xuan Sect! How can I be fated with the West? Fellow Daoist, don’t spout nonsense!”

As soon as he finished speaking, sparks suddenly appeared around the paper effigy. In front of the hunchbacked Daoist and Zhao Gongming, they exploded! “I am an incarnation from the Xuan Sect and have nothing to do with the West!”

The self-exploding restrictions that he had prepared for many years were really useful.
