The weather at Path to Immortality Gate was usually clear and pleasant, with gentle breezes and warm sunshine.

After resting for a day and night, Li Longshou felt much lighter throughout his body, his thoughts drifting, pure qi flowing, insights abundant, and his mind clear.

It was indeed perfect weather for enlightenment…

According to yesterday’s arrangement, Spirit Moth arrived early outside the formation, waiting for an hour.

Li Longshou had also been watching his junior sister for an hour.

While parts of his consciousness took turns resting, he had partially opened the killing formations around the pill room. His little junior sister had been raised with such difficulty – he couldn’t let anything happen due to her momentary carelessness…

Fortunately, Spirit Moth was very obedient, standing quietly outside the formation’s edge.

Only when Li Longshou dispelled the formation did she ride her cloud, humming a tune with a faint smile, floating toward the pill room?

Spirit Moth had dressed up carefully today, wearing a light white dress with green tints, her long hair bound with cloud ribbons; and her naturally pretty face was tastefully adorned with light makeup.

As her black hair swayed, one could glimpse her willow waist through the flowing dress;

When the dress hem rose with the wind, delicate legs, and perfect feet could be seen.

Li Longshou led his junior sister into the pill room, and just as he was about to activate the surrounding formations to give his little junior sister a systematic, comprehensive lesson, his immortal consciousness detected Master-Aunt Wine Jug flying out from Breaking Heaven Peak…

Thinking about it, Li Longshou felt this was a good opportunity to let his occasionally wandering little master-aunt accept some ideological transformation…

Ahem, what ideology or not?

He was just offering some small, humble suggestions to help master-aunt quickly resolve any karma she might encounter in the future, avoiding effects on the sect and Small Jade Peak…

Soon, Wine Jug sneakily crept nearby, shouted “Wula!” and jumped into the pill room;

Spirit Moth cooperatively patted her chest, making Wine Jug burst into laughter.

Li Longshou smiled slightly, gave Wine Jug several jars of fine wine, and said softly: “Master-aunt, today I need to give Spirit Moth supplementary lessons. Would you like to audit here or go play elsewhere?”

“Supplementary lessons?”

Wine Jug blinked, quickly straightened up, and said: “Then today your master-aunt will reluctantly guide your cultivation!”

Li Longshou smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, you’re senior so you decide. — Here, referring to seniority.

The formation control jade talisman in his hand flickered with light, and around the pill room, layers of formations activated from the inside out.

Li Longshou said: “Master-aunt, it’s naturally best if you can stay, but you’ll need to make an oath not to tell anyone except us three about what you hear today.

This… after all, is Small Jade Peak’s unique method.”

Wine Jug frowned and muttered: “What thing can’t be shared? Small Jade Peak has unique methods?”

Her eyes suddenly brightened, “Could it be left by your fierce master ancestor?”

Li Longshou and Spirit Moth exchanged glances, showing matching smiles, immediately arousing Wine Jug’s interest. After making the oath, she carried the rocking chair from outside in and jumped right onto it.

“You teach, you teach, I’ll just audit!”

At once, Li Longshou slightly modified his previously prepared ‘lesson plan’, omitting some of his personal experiences, and began teaching Spirit Moth.

He taught:

The wondrous method of seeking victory through stability has three levels of resolving karma.

Don’t take too many opportunities and treasures, the fruit of a long life lies within oneself.

Spirit Moth listened very attentively, constantly nodding, while Wine Jug beside her was quite amazed.

‘Master-uncle River Forest truly deserves her reputation of surviving in the outside world, these principles all seem very useful!’

Thus, Wine Jug also became engrossed in auditing, growing increasingly excited.

Li Longshou lectured for half an hour before starting classroom questions and answers.

“If, junior sister, you encounter someone of equal realm to you, with unclear intentions, actively approaching you, how should you respond?”

Spirit Moth thought for a moment and said: “Use sleeping powder to knock them out.”

Li Longshou continued asking: “What if they just want to ask your name…”

Spirit Moth replied without hesitation: “Increase the dosage!”

Beside them, Wine Jug’s figure shook, almost sliding off her chair.

Li Longshou said: “Explain your thinking.”

Spirit Moth said seriously: “If he knows my name, couldn’t he use curses and witchcraft on me?”

Li Longshou couldn’t help rubbing his brow and said:

“Don’t just follow the theory I taught, randomly drugging others isn’t wise either, follow your true heart.”

Spirit Moth’s mouth twisted as she muttered softly: “What if you misunderstand that I have some relationship with him…”

With a pfft, Wine Jug couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Li Longshou said: “Think again.”

Spirit Moth frowned in thought, soon softly saying: “Still use sleeping powder to knock him out… then change my aura and appearance, sprinkle immortal wine all over him, and quickly leave his vicinity.”

“Barely passing.”

“Hehe, all taught by Senior Brother!”

Li Longshou shook his head and said: “You missed observing the surrounding environment, and calculating this person’s probability of life versus death after being drugged.”

Spirit Moth asked in return: “But if I’m going out alone, shouldn’t I change my appearance and form, try to blend into the environment, and avoid drawing anyone’s attention?”

Li Longshou smiled: “Indeed that’s right, you’ve become enlightened lately, continue listening to questions…”

And so it went, with Spirit Moth sitting there constantly answering, Li Longshou pacing back and forth, continuously questioning, teaching, and explaining.

On the rocking chair beside them, Wine Jug’s expression went from surprised to wooden to suddenly understanding, also absorbing bit by bit Small Jade Peak’s unique secret techniques.

Two hours later…

Li Longshou said: “Alright, we’ll review the lessons up to here, next is today’s teaching content.”

Spirit Moth nodded brightly, inwardly relieved, her expression showing some anticipation.

Re-review?

Master-aunt Wine Jug opened her mouth, wanting to say something, yet couldn’t say anything.

Thinking carefully, these principles… were not wrong.

And next…

“Junior sister, if someone tries to kill you but you successfully kill them instead, or you eliminate your mortal enemy, what should you do then?”

Spirit Moth replied without hesitation: “Flee ten thousand li.”

Li Longshou shook his head and said:

“Fleeing is good, but before fleeing, how to dispose of the corpse?

What if remnant souls remain in the corpse, escaping with hatred for you?

In this world, there are many cultivation methods for remnant souls to be reborn.”

Spirit Moth’s delicate fingers touched her smooth chin as she said firmly: “Please teach me, Senior Brother!”

“This is today’s core lesson.

The Small Jade Ash Scattering Method!”

Li Longshou nodded with satisfaction, waved his wide sleeve, and a wooden board appeared behind him;

The board showed more than ten simple images, each with detailed explanations beside it.

Then Li Longshou began explaining extensively:

“Step one in handling corpses, you must prepare means to process these corpses, poison pills or true flames will do.

While processing the corpse, what’s most needed is judging whether they have any self-reporting treasures, so try to destroy their storage treasures, don’t always think about the beautiful idea of looting treasures after killing someone.

But most crucial is handling their soul.

The Three Realms mainly follow Primordial Spirit cultivation, with different lineages having a thousand strange and hundred bizarre effects, the enemy’s soul is the most important part of processing the corpse.

Today, I’ll pass on to you our Small Jade Peak lineage’s strongest magical tool!”

“Strongest magical tool?” Spirit Moth became interested.

Li Longshou took out two jade green pearls and solemnly handed them to Spirit Moth.

This was inheritance!

This was senior brother’s care for junior sister!

“This item is called the Soul Capturing Zhenzhu, with only one function: capturing remnant souls.”

A shout immediately came from little master-aunt: “Give me one too!”

Li Longshou smiled and took out two more Soul Capturing Zhenzhus, using simulated spiritual power to push them to little master-aunt, smiling: “Does master-aunt also feel this is a necessary measure?”

Wine Jug nodded heavily, her hemp short jacket immediately struggling to contain her.

Wine Jug smiled:

“Although your master-ancestor is quite unorthodox, and often bullies the small… hmph, or the big!

But I do admire her abilities, I saw that day, if my master hadn’t come, unless Elder Wan used brutal force, the others couldn’t have stopped her.”

Li Longshou immediately showed a gratified smile and continued teaching.

“This is only the first step,” Li Longshou said, “The Soul Capturing Zhenzhu might not completely absorb the soul, and might leave traces of incomplete soul fragments.

In these Three Realms, there is a supreme treasure called the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, with the effect of nurturing remnant souls.

Remnant souls can also reincarnate.

At this time, we need these three scriptures!

The ‘Disaster Dispelling Prayer’ to eliminate one’s karmic fruits, the Dao School’s ‘Soul Deliverance Scripture’ to directly guide the other’s remnant soul to the six paths of reincarnation, and the Western-originated ‘Rebirth Mantra’.

After the three mantras, combined with the Soul Capturing Zhenzhu, plus methods to burn away their Primordial Spirit, just need careful observation, in most cases there won’t be any omissions.

Of course, the premise for all this is that you must be in a quiet environment and complete these quickly.”

Spirit Moth and Wine Jug nodded slowly in unison, their beautiful eyes showing some admiration.

Of course, Li Longshou would later teach Spirit Moth the original version of the paper person creation technique, but couldn’t casually teach Master-aunt Wine Jug.

Gradually, from early morning until sunset.

In the pill room hidden by layers of formations, Li Longshou’s figure walked back and forth, Spirit Moth constantly nodding, questioning, repeatedly reviewing;

Wine Jug, who had unknowingly joined Spirit Moth sitting on the meditation cushions, also quickly joined in asking questions.

One could only say, that little master-aunt truly lived up to Li Longshou’s high opinion of her as a senior in the sect, accepting these ideas extremely quickly.

Naturally, this was also thanks to Master-ancestor River Forest.

Li Longshou hadn’t expected before that when his wandering master ancestor suddenly returned to the mountain once, his own ‘agency’ in the mountain would suddenly strengthen.

Some small matters could all be directly attributed to ‘master-ancestor’s teaching’, thus concealing them.

…

River Forest’s first letter after leaving was brought back to Path to Immortality Gate in her sixth year away.

This letter was for Li Longshou, not for Old Daoist Qi Yuan, so Li Longshou justifiably kept it from his master.

The letter said River Forest had now returned to her original ‘immortal gang’, living very comfortably;

She had gone to the netherworld three or four times, constantly smoothing relationships, and finally traced Wan Jiangyu’s reincarnation path.

But River Forest only found that Wan Jiangyu’s most recent reincarnation was as a tree spirit, this tree spirit was born hundreds of years ago, and its lifespan was nearly over…

River Forest decided to wait for Wan Jiangyu’s next life, to see if she could bring Wan Jiangyu back to Path to Immortality Gate to resume immortal fate.

About this, Li Longshou and Spirit Moth were both quite happy, and Li Longshou decided he must research a type of pill in the future to help the master ancestor escape her nailed-down troubles.

Since there was already the Male Vitality Pill, there should also be a corresponding pill made, only then would it be complete.

Speaking of pills, while projecting grand trends in his underground secret chamber, Li Longshou hadn’t forgotten to visit Old Master Wan Lingyun to observe the Immortal Consciousness Pill.

But Old Master Wan Lingyun seemed to be stuck in confusion, unable to successfully refine the Immortal Consciousness Poison Pill for a long time, yet Li Longshou couldn’t directly bring out reverse engineering pills or heart fire burning;

He could only wait for Old Master Wan Lingyun to figure it out himself.

The South Sea God Sect had entered a long period of peace, but the Dragon Clan encountered some troubles, with constant rebellions by sea races within the Four Seas, keeping the Four Seas Dragon Palaces busy dealing with them.

This was the Western Paradise causing trouble in secret.

Li Longshou wasn’t anxious, these changes were all within his projections.

The task given by the Sage master, he must complete steadily while ensuring self-preservation.

There was still no news of the Heavenly Court’s decree, and in the fifteenth year after the ‘Sea God Temple Scam’ incident, East Wood Duke came down again, bringing three questions from His Majesty the Jade Emperor, which Li Longshou naturally answered steadily.

These answers, in Li Longshou’s view, couldn’t be called brilliant but could be considered ‘above average’, guaranteeing problem resolution, just requiring some unnecessary mental effort.

And afterward…

East Wood Duke didn’t give any ‘user feedback’, so Li Longshou temporarily didn’t know the effect.

The Western Paradise’s schemes against the Dragon Clan should last hundreds of years, several hundred years or even longer;

Li Longshou cultivated quietly in the mountain, comprehending, waiting slowly, maintaining regular contact with Ao Yi, neither anxious nor impetuous about actively getting involved.

Sun rising moon setting, cycles never stopping;

Day bright night dark, the principle of all things.

Gradually, regarding the Dragon Clan matter, several logical lines of Li Longshou’s previous projections had found correspondence.

But what big moves the Western Paradise would make next, he couldn’t be sure…

What came first was the Three Schools Origin Flow Conference.

Recently, various rumors had been spreading in the mountain, seemingly that this Three Schools Origin Flow Conference would open early, with the Three Schools’ immortal sects gathering at Golden Palace Gate in the Central Divine Continent…

Li Longshou decided that after the Three Schools Origin Flow Conference matter settled, he would personally write a letter to explain the Dragon Clan matter to the Jade Emperor, stabilizing one of the parties involved in [Dragon Clan Ascending to Heaven].

With an attitude of giving it a try, he began his long-prepared avoidance plan.

This plan naturally couldn’t be ambushing Spirit Moth into serious injury so he could stay to care for her…

If the sect had Master care for her while he went out, wouldn’t that be wasting effort?
