This kid… has ignited the divine flame so quickly? And such a sophisticated divine power too?
Wait a minute…
Jiu Wu suddenly turned around, and the surrounding silver light remained bright. He realized he was now the only one left trapped in the formation.
This kid… was trying to use the sound-image sphere to tarnish his reputation!
Jiu Wu’s mind suddenly clicked, and he sneered. He started to break the array slowly.
“Changshou, Changshou, you’re still too green. What do you think will happen when you report me to the punishment hall? Tsk, I overestimated your scheming. I have many friends above me. Besides, this formation was created by me. Surely I can find the way out?”
As he spoke, Jiu Wu took several steps forward. The light and shadow around him quickly shifted, and he moved from an area of silver light to…
An area of golden light.
Jiu Wu’s smile froze on his face. He lowered his head and began calculating, before cursing under his breath, “What is this, a series of linked formations?”
He moved quickly, reaching a place where starlight shimmered. Then, after a few more steps, he found himself back in the original area of silver light.
He jumped up, but as soon as he reached the air, he fell back into the golden light.
At this point, Jiu Wu realized that the formation had been altered beyond his expectations. His evasion techniques were blocked, and the base formation was indeed the Nine Luminescent Glass Array he had created!
This was a formation he had painstakingly devised, one that even Celestial Immortals couldn’t easily break through!
Jiu Wu’s five-foot-tall body trembled, shaking off the drunkenness, and his mind raced…
From the moment Changshou asked Elder Jiu to relay the invitation to dinner, the plan had already begun!
When he arrived at Xiaoqiong Peak and used his immortal sense to check, he saw “Changshou” sitting there, practicing “Qi Fire.” He subconsciously didn’t check if Changshou had any faults!
The banquet was just a ruse, the real revenge was this formation.
Because it was a formation he had created, Jiu Wu was overconfident when stepping into it. He forgot that this kid loved setting up a series of linked formations!
But…
What if he was trapped? What could happen?
Jiu Wu sat down cross-legged. He was a true immortal—being trapped for months didn’t matter.
‘Is this what he’s doing? Venting?’
Jiu Wu chuckled in disbelief, but his smile quickly froze.
It’s so hot…
His blood seemed to be surging uncontrollably…
He started sweating, and a wave of stagnant Yang energy rapidly swelled inside him…
Damn it, it’s that medicinal wine!
The potency is so strong?
Jiu Wu felt like his immortal body was burning. Scenes of intimate moments with his Dao companion flashed through his mind. His breathing became rapid, like a fire breathing out, and he was drenched in sweat!
He immediately tried to expel the medicinal energy, but it had already permeated his bloodstream!
The hem of his robe started to rise, and Jiu Wu sprang to his feet, bending over, his eyes filled with urgency.
“Chang… Changshou! Let me out!”
No!
This kid wants to see me in this state!
Endure!
I must endure!
I’m already half a Celestial Immortal, how can I not withstand this little medicinal energy? Just think about it… my partner is waiting for me back at our residence! I’ll be fine once I get back!
It’s getting worse, I can’t think about my senior sister!
I can’t make a fool of myself! The sound-image sphere is still recording me!
He crushed the sound-image sphere in his hand and began sitting cross-legged again, rapidly chanting the Calm Heart Mantra and Clear Mind Spell…
Half an hour later.
“Ugh… I just can’t resist this! How could I stand it…”
“Changshou!
Changshou… I admit defeat! I’ll never try to scheme against you again! How about that?”
No one responded.
Jiu Wu anxiously paced back and forth, using his immortal power to suppress the thick Yang energy, wandering in confusion within the trapping array.
Suddenly, he saw a wooden plaque. There were several lines of writing on it, so he hurriedly went over to read it.
What’s this?
“The Heavenly Dao Oath? It starts with the [Gratitude Oath Chant]. So harsh?
From this moment onward, no arrangements shall be made for Li Changshou without the permission of the disciples of Xiaoqiong Peak, Master Qi Yuan, or Changshou’s nephew, Li Changshou…
Not a single piece of information regarding Li Changshou shall be leaked to any living being, artifact, or tool…
No…
Ugh! This is so uncomfortable!
The contents of the oath are rather ordinary—just confidentiality and no future arrangements;
But the consequences for breaking the oath are so severe—losing one’s male vigor!”
Jiu Wu, desperate, stomped his feet and accidentally dropped the wooden plaque onto the ground.
“How could my master be forced like this!”
He immediately hunched over and lay down slowly, continuing to suppress the Yang energy, gritting his teeth and enduring.
A moment later…
The short Daoist, eyes reddened, let out a howl, stood up, grabbed the wooden plaque, and began chanting the Gratitude Oath Chant. The Heavenly Dao responded, and a thunderous sound echoed above Xiaoqiong Peak!
After chanting hundreds of words, the surrounding array slowly dissipated, and the outer formations also closed.
Jiu Wu turned his head, searching but seeing no one. In a panic, he leaped into the air and rushed toward Breaking Heaven Peak.
“Shishi!
Shishi, please don’t go into seclusion, Shishi—”
After Jiu Wu left, Li Changshou’s figure slowly emerged from the grass, picked up his sound-image sphere, and carefully stored it away. He flicked his sleeve, merging the trapping array into the surrounding grand formation.
He walked over to the wooden plaque, gazing at the words that were rapidly fading. Li Changshou smiled faintly.
Temporarily settled.
…
Two months later, on the day they were supposed to refine pills together.
“Hey, little Shoushou, do you still have that medicinal wine you gave to my Fifth Senior Brother? My Fourth Senior Sister said she wanted to trade a few spells for the formula. You can pick whichever spells you want.”
“There’s still half a jar left. I’ll organize the formula and bring it to you later. Just pick the most powerful spells,” Li Changshou replied without looking up, continuing to sort through the herbs in his hands.
Jiu Jiu moved to the corner, “Is this it? The smell is so strange.”
“Yep, that’s the one,” Li Changshou answered with a smile.
He was about to lower his head and continue working when he suddenly remembered something and spoke out: “This wine isn’t for women to drink recklessly. It’s specially made for men. If women drink it, something could go wrong.”
Clang!
A wooden spoon fell to the ground, spilling a little bit of wine, and Jiu Jiu stared at Li Changshou.
“What’s going to happen if a woman drinks it?”
So fast?
Li Changshou’s forehead was covered in sweat, and he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
“Well… she might grow a beard? Probably.”
