My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 293 Obtaining the Five-Element Pearls Again

What should I do when a big shot who I can’t beat wants to seal my lips with a gift?

Li Changshou’s first reaction was to reject him.

He had already obtained the treasure that he liked. If he took more treasures, he would owe Daoist Duobao karma.

However, Daoist Duobao... was too generous!

Seeing that Li Changshou was too embarrassed to extend his hand, Daoist Duobao shook his sleeve. The entire valley was instantly illuminated by the light of treasures.

The Postnatal numinous treasures, which were full of spirituality, slowly rippled around Li Changshou. From top to bottom, left to right, they completely surrounded Li Changshou seamlessly! Li Changshou, who had almost been blinded by the light of the treasures, silently raised his hand to cover his chest.

It was very painful there.

What kind of “treasure uncle” would be able to take out hundreds or thousands of treasures so calmly and tell him to choose whatever he wanted? At the very least, he had to take away something that was as tall as him.

Something as tall as me...

Does that mean that the treasures he takes out would be as tall as me after being stacked together?

Then, there would be a huge difference between taking pearls and taking pagodas, depending on if he placed them together horizontally or stacked them vertically...

“How is it? Do you like any of these?”

Daoist Duobao smiled calmly outside the circle of numinous treasures. “If there’s nothing you like, I’ll give you a few more batches to choose from. We can slowly pick some out!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

He seemed to have seen Daoist Duobao wearing a huge golden chain around his neck, a huge golden watch on his hand, and a golden silk robe. He sat in a round chair and leaned back.

What is a treasure-hunting professional?

This is too exciting! Then, Li Changshou realized something sadly...

Previously, he had gotten the treasure-seeking paper effigies to move around in the Middle Continent. In his boredom, he had made a “Primordial Spirit Treasure Record” and collected all kinds of famous numinous treasures. Back then, he thought that he had already gotten to know most of the Primordial Spirit Treasures.

When Li Changshou saw Daoist Duobao display his treasures today, he realized that he knew too little.

The treasures flying around him were all Postnatal numinous treasures. There were even a few top-grade Postnatal numinous treasures!

Treasures that were not Postnatal or lacked spirituality would never appear in Daoist Duobao’s collection!

The quality of those treasures was not low and they were rather powerful. They were rarely revealed in front of others. Daoist Duobao only used them as bricks, so they were not famous and were not known by others.

That name list is a younger brother. Let’s add the word ‘little’ in front.

“Senior.” Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute. He wanted to wave his hand, clench his fists, and shout domineeringly, “I want all of them.” However, he ultimately suppressed his impulse. He could not deepen the karma between him and Jie School.

Li Changshou sent a voice transmission.

“The Great Daoist Master has instructed me that my cultivation is not deep enough. I cannot rely on Dharma treasures, lest I neglect my cultivation. If you insist on giving me a gift, Senior, why don’t you give me a set of Five Elements numinous treasures of the same grade? I’ve been studying some Five-Element Arrays recently, and I can use them. The Great Daoist Master had said that no matter how many treasures I have, they cannot be integrated into my Great Dao. It would not benefit my cultivation. I’ll swear that it’s my first time meeting you, Senior. I didn’t see anything previously.”

The ‘Heaven’ No. 1 shield – Great Daoist Master Xuan Du.

At that moment, Li Changshou recited the Great Dao oath in a clear voice. He said that if he spread what he had seen previously, the Heavenly Dao would punish him.

Duobao pondered for a while and looked at Li Changshou with a complicated gaze. He sighed and said, “Changgeng, don’t be like this. I trust your character.”

As he spoke, Daoist Duobao smiled. He opened his sleeve and retrieved all the numinous treasures. He looked at Li Changshou apologetically. “Changgeng, your cultivation level is not high and you are still young. How can your words be so memorable? Indeed, no matter how many treasures you have, it would be useless. One or two Connate numinous treasures that can protect the Dao and suppress your destiny would be enough. At the end of the day, you can’t integrate them into my Great Dao.”

Duobao sighed deeply and said, “Wait a moment. I remember that I have collected a set of treasures for thousands of years. It happens to belong to the Five Elements.”

Li Changshou held the Copper Coin of Treasurefall and could not help but look forward to it.

Daoist Duobao fumbled in his sleeve for a while. He was about to reach his entire arm in to fish out five pearls of different colors.

The five pearls were obviously a set of Dharma treasures. They contained the power of the Five Elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The power of the Five Elements was extremely pure without any impurities. If the Earth Elemental Pearl that Youqin Xuanya had given him was only an Elementary Five-Element Pearl, the five pearls today were the limit of Postnatal treasures!

Daoist Duobao raised his hand and pushed them over. The five pearls slowly flew over and rotated around Li Changshou.

Li Changshou did not know what kind of mystical ability Daoist Duobao had used, but the five pearls had already recognized him as their master. They sent him a warm message, and many insights regarding the Five-Element Dao Techniques surfaced in his heart...

Li Changshou opened his hands and the five pearls flew over slowly. They landed in Li Changshou’s palm and floated up and down.

Just as he was about to put away the treasure and thank Duo Bao, Li Changshou suddenly exclaimed softly. He felt a wisp of ethereal Dao runes that seemed to contain the concept of transcendence in the five pearls... Can the five beads be considered Connate numinous treasure?

Li Changshou felt a headache coming on. Using such Connate numinous treasures as the core of the array formation of Little Qiong Peak was too much of a waste.

“Senior, this pearl is too precious...”

“Hey!”

Daoist Duobao frowned. “Changgeng, are you looking down on me? It’s just a little trinket. Keep it. I’ve already said that this is a form of apology for hurting your incarnation!”

“Thank you for the treasure, Senior!”

Li Changshou bowed and put the Five-Element Pearls and the pair of Copper Coins of Treasurefall in the two treasure pouches.

He had not wasted the effort that he had put in in the past six months.

Daoist Duobao seemed to have let go of something. There was a hint of relief in his eyes. He smiled and said, “Changgeng, come with me... Eh? Why is he here?”

Who?

Li Changshou was wary. Daoist Duobao raised his hand and pointed at the sky. The violet gold alms bowl that enveloped a radius of 500 kilometers trembled and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in Duobao’s palm and turned into an alms bowl that had a five-inch diameter. It was stowed back in Duobao’s sleeve.

Then, Duobao raised his hand and grabbed Li Changshou’s arm. “Let’s go!”

After saying that, he jumped lightly. The environment around the two of them changed and appeared... in the cave that Li Changshou had just walked through, which had been dug out by Daoist Duo Bao.

The cave was no small matter. It was a treasure cave that the eldest disciple of Jie School had dug. Its concealment was excellent.

The two of them squatted in the corner of the treasure cave. Daoist Duobao took out a mirror, which was a treasure, from his chest pocket and exhaled at it. A white cloud appeared in the mirror at lightning speed.

An old Daoist priest sat on the white cloud. There was a faint cloud around him.

However, Daoist Duo Bao spat at the mirror again. The clouds slowly dissipated, revealing the old Daoist priest’s true appearance. He was dressed in a brown Daoist robe and had a square face. He placed his hands on his temples and ears. There was a bronze lamp on his shoulder. Isn’t he the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, Daoist Randeng?

Daoist Duobao was afraid that Li Changshou did not know him. He took the initiative to introduce him. “This is the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School. According to him, he is of the same generation as the three of us. I usually have to call him Uncle-Master when I see him.”

Li Changshou was enlightened. He hurriedly said, “Senior, if he’s still far away, let’s leave first.”

“He saw my alms bowl and has seen me using it before...”

Daoist Duobao pondered for a while and said, “I’m not busy. Let’s see what he’s doing here first. Although he’s a senior of our Dao Sect, I’m not afraid of him.”

“Don’t worry. Even if Daoist Randeng is the Deputy Sect Master, he is just an outsider. The three old masters value the Dao heritage the most. He is a disciple of the sect. If Deputy Sect Master Randeng is also here to search for treasures, I’ll secretly place a few treasures here and let him take them.”

For some reason, Li Changshou could tell that Daoist Duobao was unhappy with Daoist Randeng Hence, he felt much more at ease.

According to Li Changshou’s deduction, Randeng should have come for the Copper Coin of Treasurefall.

If that was the case, the scene of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao snatching away the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl with the Copper Coins of Treasurefall in the God-Conferment Story would definitely be a good show for the director of the Burning Lamp. He would have brought Master Zhao into the trap!

Today, he had taken away the Copper Coins of Treasurefall and ended everything that would happen in the future. He had also lost the opportunity to seize the Sea God’s Pearl... Could it be that Randeng had sensed something? Li Changshou said, “Senior, I’ve also come into contact with the Deputy Sect Master of the Burning Lamp Sect. I’m afraid I’ve offended him previously.” “Oh?”

Daoist Duobao could not help but be interested. “How did you have a conflict with him?”

In a few words, Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to tell Daoist Duobao about the conversation he had with Randeng previously.

He naturally could not tell the truth. He could only say that he did not know the senior from Chan School in the beginning and had “accidentally” cursed Lan Ling. He did not say that Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long were watching from the side. Daoist Duobao tasted it carefully. A look of realization appeared on his slightly plump face. He could not help but laugh and raise his hand to hit Li Changshou gently twice.

“Why are you so scheming!?! Hahahaha! I can’t see this scene with my own eyes. It’s really a

pity.”

Li Changshou asked softly, “Senior, you seem to be...”

“Ah.” Duobao shook his head. “There are some things that we should not mention!”

Normally, hearing such words meant that the person who spoke desperately wanted to complain. Li Changshou took advantage of the situation and said seriously, “I want to understand more, lest something goes wrong in the future.”

Hence, Duobao sighed softly.

He said, “In the past tens of thousands of years, there has been endless friction between the two sects. Fellow Daoists from Chan School often cause trouble for no reason. Sometimes, there will be fellow disciples who will say something wrong. Every time something like that happens, it’s mostly me who has to settle it. After a while, I’ve come into contact with this senior. Tsk... Changgeng, you should avoid interacting with this senior, who’s an expert, in the future. You should pay more attention to what you say to him. Don’t let anything slip and don’t let him have something against you. This senior, hehe, his thoughts are very complicated!”

Li Changshou roughly understood. At the same time, how far could an expert like Duobao and Randeng detect with their immortal senses?

After talking for a long time, the image in the mirror was still the same. If not for the clouds that were retreating quickly, Li Changshou would have thought that there was something wrong with the mirror. Just as he was about to ask, Li Changshou’s immortal senses captured the figure of Randeng

As soon as his immortal senses captured the figure of Randeng, it appeared in the sky above the Ox Demon Valley in the blink of an eye. A mighty pressure filled the sky.

The ox demons, who were still in a coma, shivered in their dreams.

Daoist Duobao’s detection range...

His detection range...

Li Changshou felt an inexplicable sense of helplessness in his heart. He had originally thought that since he had become a Golden Immortal and had the backing of the Ren School, he would have the ability to obtain some small numinous treasures in the Primordial World.

I should copy the ‘Steadiness Sutra’ 9,000 times.

Yes, I’ll let Junior Sister do half of it for me. If I need anything, Junior Sister will do it.

“He’s coming, he’s coming!”

Daoist Duobao said in a low voice. His eyes lit up. He held his breath with Li Changshou and paid attention to the changes in the mirror.

At that moment, they retracted their immortal senses to prevent themselves from being detected by Randeng. The mirror in Duobao’s hand was naturally a probing-type numinous treasure. Its concealment and anti-detection abilities were outstanding. Randeng sat on the cloud and circled the place twice. Then, he took out the Glazed Pagoda and raised his hand to give it away. In the blink of an eye, the pagoda became thousands of feet tall. Immortal light surged out from the tip of the pagoda, and in the blink of an eye, it covered an area of 500 kilometers. The demons of Ci Tie City were speechless.

“Hmph!”

Randeng flicked his finger at the city, and the array formation instantly shattered.

“The person in charge of this place, come and reply.”

The cold voice, coupled with the pressure that Daoist Randeng was exuding, caused the demons in the city who had yet to recover from the suppression of the violet gold alms bowl to fall into chaos again. Not long after, the three ox demons in the Golden Immortal realm arrived in front of Randeng. They snorted and bent their knees, subconsciously crouching in the air.

“Greetings, Senior!”

“Cut the crap,” Randeng said coldly. “Is this your race’s territory?”.

“Yes, it’s our territory.”

Randeng asked again, “What happened here previously? If you’re lying, your race will cease to exist today.”

At that moment, the three ox demons spoke one after another, and hurriedly explained everything that had happened previously.

According to the description of the ox demons, they were first attacked by a group of human troops with unknown origins. However, the other party immediately retreated after appearing for a moment. It seemed that he had used some kind of trick.

Then, the violet gold alms bowl appeared and enveloped a radius of 500 kilometers...

Randeng sat on the white cloud and kept pinching his fingers to calculate. His frown deepened.

He had been cultivating in the Jade Void Palace when he suddenly felt a sense of danger. After some calculations, he realized that the treasure that had a deep connection to his Dao Fruit had been taken away!

The warning was purely a resonance between his Dao and the heavenly secrets. It would only let him know what happened. He did not know the details.

Randeng immediately used his Glazed Cup to deduce carefully. Following a wisp of heavenly secrets, he deduced the exact location of the incident and immediately rushed over.

However, what Randeng did not know was...

At the same time that he arrived at the valley, Li Changshou had already diverted some of his attention and started to disguise himself in the terrain of the six regions of the Middle Continent that were similar to each other...

At the same time, Li Changshou’s main body flew out of the Little Qiong Peak on a cloud and went to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

It was time to offer incense to the Saint again.

Just as Li Changshou flew to the Hundred Mortal Hall, Randeng, who was above the Ox Demon Valley, had already figured out what was going on. Randeng first swept his gaze across the three Golden Immortal realm ox demons and said coldly, “Go to the treasure vault of your race and investigate if you have missed anything. Then, wake your clansmen up and ask them one by one what they have lost. I’ll give you an hour. If you’re not on time, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” The three ox demons hurriedly lowered their heads and agreed. They hurriedly landed in the valley.

They had confirmed that he was a ruthless person who could destroy their race with a lift of his finger!

After the ox demon left, the glass lamp on the shoulder of Randeng shone brightly. Randeng spoke again, his voice spreading to the sky and the ground within 500 kilometers.

“Disciple-Nephew Duobao, why don’t you appear? The treasure you took away is fated with me. I’m willing to exchange it with favors.”

In the treasure cave, Daoist Duobao pursed his lips and immediately went out to confront Li Changshou. He even sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou.

“Did you see that? The Deputy Sect Master is so confident. He can’t even bear to take the treasures. He wants to take the treasures from me just by offering to give me a favor!”

“Does he think I’m a treasure-disperser? Hmph, since I’m here, what’s wrong with going out to meet him?” “Senior!”

Li Changshou grabbed Daoist Duobao’s arm in time and sent a voice transmission. “Senior, this is just a lie. If you don’t believe me, just watch. He will definitely say the next sentence after a while. If it’s not something like ‘Why? Do I still have to personally invite you out?’ It would be ‘Disciple-Nephew, are you trying to blow this matter up?’”

Daoist Duobao blinked and was slightly apprehensive.

However, Randeng was really a little anxious. Just as Li Changshou finished speaking, Daoist Randeng frowned and said, “Why? Do you need me to invite you out?”
