Chapter 225 I, Fugui Am Not Worthy Of Having A Dao Companion!

　　“Elder, I would like to ask for your help…”

　　Under the bright sunlight, Elder Wan Linyun held his bronze walking stick and slowly flew towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

　　If it were anyone else who made such a request, Elder Wan Linyun would probably not even turn his head back and simply just send a Bewitching Pill over.

　　However, that request was made by Li Changshou…

　　That was quite different. Changshou is kind-hearted and pure. He often has his own unique insight on the Dao of alchemy and poisonous pills. He is also kind to others…

　　There were too many merits.

　　Changshou definitely had a reason for letting him do that.

　　Elder Wan Linyun arrived at the Heaven-Breaking Peak on a cloud. A few disciples who had just left the peak trembled. They tensed up and bowed respectfully…

　　Wan Linyun nodded slowly. With a stern face, he walked towards the Wang Qing Residence beside the Nine Jiu Immortals Abode.

　　The Wang Qing Residence was a small building that was built on the edge of the cliff. From the name, one could tell that it was… Wang Fugui’s cultivation hut.

　　When they arrived in front of the building, a beautiful figure flew out on a cloud and welcomed them. It was Jiu Yiyi, the eldest disciple of Exalted Wang Qing.

　　“Greetings, Elder Wan.”

　　Jiu Yiyi, who was dressed in a colorful dress, bowed forward and revealed a polite smile. “Elder, are you looking for Master?” Elder Wan Linyun smiled coldly. Even though she knew that the poisonous elder was smiling normally, Jiu Yiyi could not help but feel her scalp go numb. She subconsciously wanted to retreat.

　　“I’m here to talk to your master about alchemy.” Jiu Yiyi hurriedly said, “Elder, please don’t blame me. My master has recently realized something and is in seclusion. I’m afraid…”

　　Just as Jiu Yiyi finished speaking, she heard a soft sigh from the pavilion.

　　“It’s fine. I’m prepared to come out of seclusion. Elder Wan Linyun, please enter.”

　　Jiu Yiyi hurriedly acknowledged and retreated to the side.

　　Elder Wan Linyun nodded slightly. He took two steps in the air with his walking stick. His thin figure had already arrived in front of the building and floated in.

　　In the Wang Qing Residence, Exalted Wang Qing, who was dressed in a long green robe, was welcoming him outside. When he saw Wan Linyun, he immediately cupped his hands and said, “Greetings, Elder Wan.”

　　Wang Fugui entered the sect later. In terms of seniority, he was after Elder Wan Linyun.

　　“You and I are both elders in the sect. However, Elder, you are more senior than me. You don’t have to bow like that.”

　　Elder Wan Linyun said that. Exalted Wang Qing smiled and gestured for Elder Wan Linyun to sit down calmly.

　　On Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou, who had captured that scene from afar with his immortal senses, suddenly had a thought…

　　Exalted Wang Qing was indeed avoiding his little grandmaster.

　　Why did he hide?

　　Hasn’t he mentally prepared himself to stop being a bachelor? Or is he afraid that he will lose face because he can’t bring himself to do it?

　　Li Changshou sat on the rocking chair and quietly thought about it.

　　If that had happened because of his ‘Newlyweds Collection’, he would have to do something to salvage the situation.

　　This is really…

　　It is difficult to predict the mysterious emotions of humans.

　　The surroundings of the Wang Qing Residence were quickly protected by array formations and boundaries, blocking Li Changshou’s immortal senses.

　　However, it did not matter.

　　Since he had invited Elder Wan Linyun, Li Changshou naturally came up with a plan.

　　At that moment, there was a paper effigy hidden in Elder Wan Linyun’s sleeve. On the paper effigy was a ‘Two-Hearts Connection’.

　　It was a Dharma artifact that could be used for spiritual communication. It was a product of the Changshou trinket series.

　　Hence, Li Changshou could listen to the two seniors’ conversation throughout the entire process. He could also communicate with Elder Wan Linyun in time.

　　However…

　　After the array formation was activated, Elder Wan Linyun and Exalted Wang Qing fell into silence.

　　If it were not for the sound of wind, the chirping of birds outside the door, and the occasional howl that would only come from Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu’s house when she was extremely bored…

　　Li Changshou almost thought that his paper effigy had failed.

　　After his Grandmaster returned to the mountain, Jiu Jiu did not dare to go to the Little Qiong Peak anymore. During this period, Ling’e would bring wine over.

　　This made her, who had been in seclusion several times, feel like she was about to go crazy.

　　In Wang Qing’s Residence,

　　Exalted Wang Qing and Elder Wan Linyun took their seats in the hall. The mood gradually turned awkward.

　　The two of them did not have much interaction in the first place. Occasionally, they would meet each other at an official occasion. They would discuss important matters of the sect, and they would see each other less than once or twice in a thousand years.

　　In other words, they were not familiar with each other.

　　After a while, Exalted Wang Qing said, “Elder Wan, why are you here this time…?”.

　　Elder Wan Linyun pondered for a moment. Thinking of the advice from Changshou, he sneered.

　　The man was confused. He did not know how he had offended the elder. He frowned and waited for Elder Wan to speak.

　　Elder Wan Linyun pondered and asked, “Do you have a Dao companion?”

　　Dao companion?

　　Even though Exalted Wang Qing was a little confused, he still answered immediately, “I, your Disciple-Nephew, have a Dao companion. However, I have not informed the sect yet. My Dao companion is Jiang Lin’er from the Little Qiong Peak. She has also mentioned you many times.”

　　“Yes, I take care of Jiang Lin’er.

　　You don’t have to call yourself a disciple-nephew. You have broken the sect rules.”

　　Elder Wan Linyun replied indifferently. Li Changshou’s voice sounded in his heart…

　　Elder, that’s not what I want you to talk to him about.

　　“Ahem.” Elder Wan Linyun cleared his throat and pressed his walking stick with his hands. He looked at Exalted Wang Qing and continued, “Since you have a Dao partner, it’s simple. “I have been refining a type of elixir recently. It is targeted at human Qi-Refinement cultivators who are at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm. I don’t know how effective it is, so I want to try it on you.”

　　Exalted Wang Qing smiled and said, “So that’s what happened. Elder, just say it.”

　　Elder Wan Linyun said calmly, “Did I beat around the bush?”

　　“No.” Exalted Wang Qing smiled apologetically. Elder Wan Linyun had already taken out a brocade pouch.

　　The brocade pouch was made by Li Changshou. It contained the latest version of the Ambition Pill…

　　There was a Love Water overdose warning.

　　Elder Wan Linyun continued, “This pill is for someone with a Dao companion… You know what it means, right?”

　　“I know.” Exalted Wang Qing smiled, but his smile froze. He sighed and said, “But I only have a rough idea. Overall, I’m not proficient. To be honest, Elder Wan, I’m also worried about this matter.”

　　Elder Wan Linyun nodded. He did not want to ask about other people’s private matters, but Li Changshou was already shouting in his heart…

　　Continue asking, Elder, you must continue!

　　“What are you worried about?”

　　“This.” Exalted Wang Qing sighed.

　　He stood up and walked to the window by the side. He stared at the Cloud immortal crane outside the window and stared at the residence of the Nine Jiu Immortals.

　　Elder Wan Linyun was puzzled as well. He continued asking, “Isn’t there something between Dao partners? Why are you so worried?”

　　“To be honest, Elder, I might not be worthy of having a Dao companion…”

　　Not worthy?

　　Elder Wan Linyun’s expression was slightly shaken.

　　In the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou was even more shocked. He almost fell out of his chair.

　　What the hell?

　　Could it be that Exalted Wang Qing had cultivated a cultivation technique that is similar to the Sunflower Sutra?

　　That’s not right. It’s the real cultivation of the Sunflower Classic. The Qi Refinement cultivators could use all kinds of methods to restore their Dao bodies. Moreover, the cultivation techniques of Ren School are focused on perfection. It’s impossible…

　　Elder Wan Linyun paused while holding his walking stick and made two thuds.

　　Elder Wan said firmly, “If there’s a problem, just tell me! I’m not good at other things. I know some pills!”

　　“Ah.” Exalted Wang Qing sighed slowly. “It had nothing to do with the pills or the Dao Body.”

　　“Oh? What is it?”

　　Exalted Wang Qing seemed to have something to say. Elder Wan Linyun stood up and took two steps forward with his walking stick.

　　“Fugui, I’m considered an elder in the sect. You’re the pillar of the sect. Among the Heaven Immortals, you have the highest chance of breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm. If you have any hidden troubles, feel free to tell me. I will do my best to help you.”

　　“Thank you, Elder Wan… Alright!”

　　Exalted Wang Qing bowed and then made an inviting gesture. “Elder, please follow me to the study.”

　　“Okay.”

　　Elder Wan Linyun nodded slowly and followed Exalted Wang Qing into the study beside him.

　　Elder Wan Linyun frowned the moment he entered the study.

　　Li Changshou, who had secretly released a wisp of immortal senses through the paper doll, also saw the most eye-catching item hanging in the middle of the study…

　　The Newlyweds Collection!

　　*Coughs*

　　On Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou covered his mouth and coughed.

　　Seeing that the two elders were facing the painting that he had drawn, Li Changshou was really… embarrassed.

　　Elder Wan Linyun fixed his eyes on it and frowned slightly. He said, “Wang Qing, are you trying to tease me?”

　　“Elder, how would I dare?”

　　Exalted Wang Qing smiled bitterly and said, “I’ve been stumped by this cultivation technique recently.”

　　“Cultivation technique?”

　　Cultivation technique?

　　Elder Wan Linyun and Li Changshou were stunned.

　　“Elder, take a look. This item is called the wedding jade. It was given by my fifth disciple. Little Wu once said that this treasure book is a must-cultivate method for a new Dao companion. I carefully pondered for a day and a night and realized that it contained the truths of the world. It is rather mysterious and requires both Dao companions to use it at the same time. However, he could not figure out how to cultivate this technique and what kind of immortal power is contained in it. Elder, look. The third move has nothing to do with the fourth move… Elder, Elder Wan?”

　　“You!” Elder Wan Linyun slammed his walking stick hard. “You’ve become muddle-headed because of cultivation!”

　　Li Changshou, who was about to faint from laughing, was also a little surprised…

　　Elder Wan Linyun was surprised. He heard Elder Wan Linyun say firmly, “I’ve seen this cultivation technique a few times. It’s a Yin-Yang dual cultivation technique! The most important thing is that a man and a woman have to use it at the same time! If you were to stay here alone, what would happen? There are differences between men and women. Some pills have to be taken by solely men or solely women!”

　　“Is that… is that true?”

　　After thinking about it carefully, he continued to smile bitterly. “I originally wanted to figure out this technique before looking for my Dao companion. In the past, I even thought that I don’t deserve to have a Dao companion because I can’t comprehend a cultivation technique that everyone can master. I did not expect that I would end up falling behind and neglect the difference between Yin and Yang. Thank you for enlightening me, Elder!” “Alright, it’s good that you understand.”

　　“I understand… I’ll go and research with Lin’er later.”

　　Elder Wan Linyun nodded slowly. Without looking at the treasure map, he turned around and left the house.

　　After that, Elder Wan left the pill behind. According to Li Changshou’s instructions, he bid farewell and left Wang Qing’s Residence.

　　Before Elder Wan Linyun left, he sneered and reminded him a few times that he could only consume that pill when he was alone with his Dao companion. After that, he could go to Pill Tripod Peak to tell him how effective it was.

　　Exalted Wang Qing repeatedly agreed. After sending Elder Wan Linyun off, he returned to the study.

　　After some hesitation, he continued to meditate on the “mystical technique”.

　　He still wanted to understand that technique before imparting it to his Dao companion to prevent her from making fun of him.

　　An hour later, Jiu Wu, who had received Li Changshou’s message via the immortal crane, hurriedly landed in front of the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak. As soon as he entered the array, Li Changshou bombarded him with questions.

　　“Uncle-Master, what did you tell him when you presented that treasure painting?”

　　“What did I tell him…”

　　Jiu Wu blinked and smiled. “I just followed your instructions.”

　　“The original words!” Li Changshou said firmly, “This is crucial!”

　　“This…”

　　Jiu Wu coughed. Seeing how serious Li Changshou was, he said, “You’re my master now. Watch how I speak to you. Hehe… Master?”

　　“Yes,” Li Changshou replied with a frown.

　　“I found you a mysterious cultivation technique.” Jiu Wu laughed and took out a Spirit Stone from his sleeve, pretending that it was the painting.

　　Jiu Wu continued, “This cultivation technique is called the ‘Newlyweds Collection’. All newly-wed Dao companions have to cultivate it. The elders in the sect asked me to send it over. They were very happy when they heard that you became Dao companions. Master, shall I leave this cultivation technique here? Take a look when you have time, alright? These paintings are also my treasured collection. I’ll give them to you today, Master.”

　　Jiu Wu blinked. “That’s what I said. When I left, Master had already picked up the thing you drew and looked at it! Don’t worry, I won’t be wrong!”

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

　　Seriously, why didn’t he just make it clear? Why did he have to be so shy and beat around the bush? Living in this world is really too difficult…

　　Fortunately, Elder Wan Linyun’s exhortations should have some effect.

　　Half a day later, at dusk, Exalted Wang Qing rode on a cloud from the Heaven-Breaking Peak. He looked disappointed as he walked towards the Little Qiong Peak.
