Chapter 162 The Bear Is In the Open, Li Changshou Is In The Dark

Before Yun Zhongzi could take a look, Li Changshou and Xiong Lingli had already been taken away by the “Mountain River Small Country” painting.

The merit Golden Immortal did not pursue the matter and continued to accept the young disciples who had stood up.

Between the two disciples of Ren School, Xiong Lingli was the more eye-catching one.

However, she was not a pretty girl who was rarely seen and only appeared once in thousands of years. She was just a Magihuman…

Yun Zhongzi had lived for such a long time. What had he not seen?

Yun Zhongzi had seen the Qi Refinement cultivators of the human race, who had twenty percent each of the bloodlines of the Magi, the demon, the dragon, and the phoenix, what more a Magihuman.

It was no longer a surprise as he had seen too many.

The “Mountain River Small Country” painting in the old immortal’s hand did not seem to have changed at all. However, there were already many fine black spots on it that were evenly distributed across various parts of the map.

A moment later, no one stood up by the lake.

Yun Zhongzi lifted the cover of the flower basket. Six more pearls flew out. Under the power of the old immortal, the six pearls shone with a bright light.

After that, Yun Zhongzi raised his hand and threw it away. The treasure map slowly floated above the small lake.

The six pearls flew over and floated around the treasure map. The pearl was surrounded by immortal light and formed a thin layer of clouds above the lake’s surface. Then, in the clouds, the situation inside the map appeared. The images kept circulating. Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard and said calmly, “Fellow Daoists, send your immortal senses into this treasure pearl. You can see the entire scenery inside the map, but you can also explore any place you want.”

After saying that, the thin-looking old immortal carried a flower basket and returned to the observation platform on the Immortal Island.

He had only revealed a set of numinous treasures, but all the immortals were amazed.

The Golden Immortals of Chan School were truly extraordinary! Although the combination of the “treasure beads” and the painting was only a small part of the true Connate numinous treasure, the Mountain River Small Country painting, a numinous treasure that could refine such power with a Postnatal treasure could already be considered an absolute treasure of the Primordial World!

For a moment, the young disciples who had yet to become immortals and had yet to enter the painting looked up at the scenery on the lake.

The immortal senses entered the six treasure beads below and observed the performance of their disciples. On the other hand, the big shots of the three sects’ “origins” were casually admiring the situation inside. Most of them were watching the fun…

The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du sat alone in the sky.

He had used a mystical ability on himself. Those who were not Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals would not be able to see his true appearance.

At that moment, Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao, the Head Disciples of Chan School and Jie School, were secretly observing the Eldest Senior Brother of Ren School…

Guang Chengzi was actually not a true disciple of Chan School. He had entered the sect after the South Pole Immortal.

However, the South Pole Immortal accompanied the Saint. Guang Chengzi was in charge of handling the sect affairs, and his authority in the sect was still above the Deputy Sect Master. Therefore, most of them deemed Guang Chengzi as the Head Disciple… Others might not know it, but Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao knew how respectful his teacher was to the Grand Pure One of the Three Pure Ones.

They also knew how much the Grand Pure One defended him.

The few famous treasures of Ren School, such as the Yin-Yang Taiji Painting, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, the Wind-Fire meditation cushion, and so on, had all been used by Great Daoist Master Xuan Du before.

Therefore, Daoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi paid more attention to the only disciple of their Uncle-Master.

What they saw was a smile on Xuan Du’s lips. He was sitting there with his eyes closed, probably investigating the situation inside the painting.

Who is Senior Brother Xuan Du looking at?

That question surfaced in the hearts of Daoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi at the same time. However, they did not manage to figure it out after various deductions.

At that moment, the Great Daoist Master’s gaze landed on… a disciple of Ren School whose name was unknown.

Based on the Great Daoist Master’s abilities, he could observe Li Changshou’s every word and action through the painting.

That was not all. Xuan Du could even deduce who was investigating Li Changshou at the same time as him.

Although he was the only one at the moment, it did not matter. For a disciple like Li Changshou, who was less than 200 years old but had already transcended the tribulation and ascended to the Heaven Immortal realm, and was not far from the Golden Immortal realm… he would always be shining!

I should take advantage of this opportunity to observe this little fellow.

If his character is really as it was when he spoke to me previously, I can arrange for him to enter the Tushita Palace and convince my teacher to accept another disciple.

In the future, wouldn’t it be wonderful for him to appear on behalf of Ren School during such occasions?

The smile on the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du’s face became even wider…

At the same time, Zhao Gongming, who was sitting in front of the crowd, could not help but yawn.

It was really boring to watch those disciples fight.

Since he had that much free time, he might as well go to the Sea God Temple and look for his Sea God Brother. He could discuss the Dao of “I will not recover within tens of thousands of years.”

This time, he would bring Sister Qiong Xiao over and let her interact more with the Sea God of the South Ocean. She might suffer less in the future.

…

In a remote forest of a mountain in the universe of the painting,

Li Changshou sat behind a huge rock. Xiong Lingli, who had been pulled in with him… was that huge rock.

A painting with limited area.

A group of people locked inside.

They have to look for treasures everywhere. If they meet, they will have to fight to decide who wins or loses…

This situation seems familiar.

That mode reminded Li Changshou of the games he often played in his previous life…

The game had different names for different people. For example, some would call it “Turning into boxes as soon as they land”, some would call it “A certain courier”, or “Feast for the frogmen”, “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” and so on.

Of course, it was not a “game”.

Li Changshou’s immortal senses spread out, and he had already found the figures of many unfamiliar disciples. At first, everyone was very cautious and tried to probe each other before retreating quickly.

Furthermore, in front of everyone, even if it was a battle, everyone would be split up orderly. It was impossible for a bloody battle to break out.

The wisest move was to search for treasures. That would be safer.

Of course, the safest method was like what Li Changshou had done. He had found a corner to hide.

Li Changshou decided to find a more concealed spot later and continue hiding until the end.

However, Li Changshou could not help but think about it…

What did the word ‘go’ mean?

If he had added the word ‘me’ in front of it, the different tones would have different meanings.

“Sea… Cousin.” Xiong Lingli, who was hugging her knees and curling up into a ball, asked softly, “How long are we going to hide here?”

“Hide at the back.” Li Changshou transmitted his voice. “Repeat the word ‘Cousin’ five hundred times in your heart. Don’t expose the whereabouts of my incarnation.”

“Yes.” Xiong Lingli nodded seriously. She closed her eyes and began to recite and count silently.

Li Changshou opened his left palm and pressed it against the ground that was filled with light green grass.

He had read in the ancient books that in order to refine a small world, the most basic requirement was the perfection of the five elements and the balance of Yin and Yang.

He could freely use his escape technique in the Small World in the painting.

However, the ground was a little thin and the sky was a little low. He could not exert too much force.

Should I go and help Toxic Junior Sister and the others? It would be a good thing if there are a few more numinous treasures in the sect.

Li Changshou pondered for a while and dispelled that thought. He decided to hide before thinking about other matters.

It was time to show his true… concealment technique. Xiong Lingli said softly, “Cousin, I’ve finished reciting it.” “Lingli, do you know any escape techniques?” “No…”

“That’s fine. I’ll be walking in the soil later. Listen to my voice transmission and walk on the surface. We’ll find a place to hide and avoid conflict with these people.”

“Oh, okay,” Xiong Lingli replied obediently.

Li Changshou cast the Earth Escape and hid underground. He gave Xiong Lingli a direction, letting her stay in the open while he hid in the dark and headed towards the edge of the painting

If not for the fact that there were too many experts outside and Li Changshou could not use his mystical abilities brazenly, he would definitely make Xiong Lingli stay in the open while the paper effigy stayed in the dark and his main body hid in the paper effigy.

That would make it much safer.

Initially, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was looking forward to seeing Li Changshou fight other people and display some mystical abilities.

When Li Changshou entered the soil and moved together with Xiong Lingli, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du thought to himself, ‘This guy is indeed interesting.’ He then continued to stare at Li Changshou for an hour…

Gradually, doubts arose in the heart of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du.

What is he hiding?

Other than him, there are only two or three Perfected Immortal realm cultivators here.

Finally, when Li Changshou found a crack in a stone in a valley and entered, he set up two layers of illusions outside the rock, allowing Xiong Lingli to hide in another stone pit a thousand feet away…

The corners of Great Daoist Master Xuan Du’s mouth were no longer curled into a smile. He could not help but twitch a few times.

Aren’t you going to find someone to fight and become famous? Are you going to just hide here and be a block of wood?

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, he suddenly understood something.

That fellow had a similar temperament to that of his teacher. That might be the reason why his teacher paid attention to him.

However… the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du remained calm as he shook his finger gently.

In the painting, two demonic beasts near Li Changshou’s hiding place shivered and rushed out of their new nests that had just gotten warmer. They crossed the mountains and headed towards the valley…

Almost as soon as the two demonic beasts moved, Li Changshou’s immortal senses were locked onto the two demonic beasts… Demonic beasts referred to the beasts among demons that were unwilling or unable to transform. Normally, they would absorb the essence of the sun and moon to increase their cultivation level. Many demonic beasts had yet to develop intelligence, but they were very powerful in technical fights and killing.

At that moment, the two demonic beasts that were charging towards the canyon were in the Essence Immortal realm. They were supposed to be used to train the disciples…

Li Changshou had already realized that someone might be testing him…

After thinking for a while, Li Changshou took out two bottles of low-level poisonous pills from his sleeve. At the same time, he gave Xiong Lingli some instructions.

Xiong Lingli immediately jumped out, turned her head, and punched the mountain wall twice. She threw out a huge piece of rock and found a few pieces that she liked.

After a while, the two demonic beasts rushed into the valley. Demonic aura surged and they roared continuously! A hundred-feet-long Green Flower Python, a demonic tiger with a pair of wings on its ribs and black smoke surrounding its body, both stared at Xiong Lingli!

Xiong Lingli did not say anything. Her burly body contained astonishing strength. She held two huge rocks and stared at the two demonic beasts.

The two demonic beasts did not hesitate at all. They roared and charged forward.

He was attracted by the commotion there, and dozens of immortal senses were detected…

Those immortal senses could only see a demonic tiger flying in mid-air and a demonic python slithering on the ground. The sequence of their arrival was almost indistinguishable. They were already 500 feet in front of Xiong Lingli and were about to pounce on her in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, Li Changshou transmitted his voice slowly.

“Smash.”

The moment he finished speaking, the two demonic beasts paused. The demonic python raised its head and roared. The demonic tiger fell to the ground.

Xiong Lingli turned around and swung the two huge rocks in front of her. The two huge rocks that looked like millstones rushed towards them!

Boom! Boom!

The python’s head was flattened, and its huge body fell backward.

The demonic tiger was in an even more miserable state. It was smashed to the ground by the huge rock. Its body twitched a few times, and its legs stopped moving.

Done…

Li Changshou did not move his buttocks at all throughout the process.

The owners of the immortal senses that were observing the place praised Xiong Ling’s sharp mystical ability…

Outside the painting, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He shook his head secretly and continued to look for the surrounding demonic beasts.

He did not believe that he could not force Li Changshou to make a move today.

Soon, a few more demonic beasts rushed towards the valley…

Li Changshou frowned and beckoned Xiong Lingli, who was drooling at the demonic tiger and the demonic python. Almost without hesitation… he escaped.
