My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 764: Side Story 1: Traveling Together

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In a Minor Chiliocosm at the edge of the world that had suddenly become lively in nearly a hundred years, there were streams of light everywhere. Immortals came and went like the wind. There was also an island filled with stalls that sold easy goods. If not for the thin spiritual energy there, they would have thought that this was a famous town.

The only thing that made this place special was the pitch-black cave entrance that appeared in the southern sky and the vast desert that was dyed black.

Black smoke billowed there. The fog enveloped everywhere. From time to time, one could see the immortal light flashing and the terrifying black shadows illuminated by the immortal light.

Clearly, this was the latest invasion of the Chaos Black Beast.

Ever since traces of Chaos Black Beasts appeared in the trichiliocosm a few decades ago, people had discovered the immense value contained in these Black Beasts and the rather precious refining material—Chaos Black Gold.

Therefore, every time such an invasion occurred, many Qi Refinement cultivators would be attracted.

They could earn black gold by killing monsters.

“Haha... Why isn’t Big Sister here yet?”

In a small store at the village entrance, a few young men and women were meditating. A young man with a slightly exaggerated hairstyle muttered. The young girl sitting beside him snorted.

“Who’s prettier, me or Big Sister?”

“Of course, my Yunyun is prettier.”

“Hmph, you’re lying!”

“In that case, Big Sister is prettier?”

“You’re indeed thinking about others! We can’t become Dao companions! I’ll tell your father that you bullied me!”

“Ah, Yunyun, don’t. I... No, listen to my explanation...”

The young man and woman immediately fought and woke up the plain, ordinary, and slightly handsome middle-aged man in the shop.

The middle-aged man stretched and rubbed his sleepy eyes. Then, he supported his head and smiled at the couple.

His rough eyebrows revealed a hint of unrestrained sexiness. The burly muscles all over his body showed his high attainments in body cultivation.

Of course, the thing that could prove his identity the most was the three words “small store” that he had personally written. They were crooked and interesting. If he was not an old transmigrator, he would not have thought of such a low-profile and meaningful name.

That was naturally the latest special paper effigy that Li Changshou had entrusted the power of his essence soul to.

After the Chaos Black Beasts had jumped out for so many years, Li Changshou naturally had to pay enough attention. To be safe, he specially asked for leave from both of his wives and went out to do field research.

Although Li Changshou was the master of the Court of Dao, it was only a title. After all, everything that he could manage was related to the Great Dao. Usually, he would only monitor the Chaos Sea.

It was proof of the responsibility of the Dao Master to see if the Black Beasts and the Qi Refinement cultivators got along happily.

It definitely had nothing to do with the “Big Sister” that these young people were talking about!

At that moment, a wisp of the meteor-like stream of light in the sky separated. A figure turned into a rainbow and landed on the ground. She turned around, her long hair danced, and her cloak fluttered. Her actions were smooth and natural.

She was rather tall and the broadsword on her back emitted a fiery-red icy aura. Although her black clothes, trousers, and long sleeves looked strange in the Primordial World where women mostly wore dresses, they made her look heroic.

Unfortunately, she was wearing a mask that completely covered her face.

The mask was not just an ornament. There was a little treasure glow on it. It was also a rare immortal treasure that could be used to protect one’s essence soul.

However, to her, the greatest use was to conceal her appearance and prevent others from spying on her.

She took a step forward. Although she did not have the delicate beauty of a vulnerable woman, she had a different appearance.

“Big Sister!”

The five to six men and women who were meditating immediately stood up. The noisy pair of Dao companions instantly reconciled and welcomed them.

“Big Sister, you’re finally here! The Black Beasts here have almost been wiped out!”

“Let’s go, let’s go! Previously, we said that we would gather at the village’s convenience store with the pills and talismans. Big Sister, you’re the last to arrive. The Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals can be considered a powerful team today. This time, we have to kill a few Earth-rank Black Beasts!”

Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow were the grades in the “Black Beast Power Division” that the Heavenly Courts had announced. ‘Yellow’ was the weakest rank, and ‘Heaven’ was the strongest. It was said that there were even stronger Black Beasts above them, but they rarely appeared.

The “Big Sister’s voice sounded from behind the mask, but it did not sound sharp or gentle. It just sounded very “refreshing”.

It was very smooth.

She asked, “Are the preparations ready?”

“Of course.”

“Big Sister, don’t worry!”

“Check again,” the “Big Sister” said calmly. The others cooperated and rummaged through their storage Dharma treasures.

Clearly, they were used to it.

The “Big Sister” explained impatiently, “When fighting with the Black Beasts, you must not be greedy and advance rashly. If you encounter a Black Beast that can affect your mind, retreat immediately. If there is a black ore that you can’t pick up, don’t force yourself. We have to remember that killing the Black Beasts and earning some money is just secondary. Our most important goal is to kill the Black Beasts to prevent them from gathering and affecting the stability of the trichiliocosm!”

“Okay!”

“Big Sister, don’t worry! We’ll listen to you! Staying alive is the most important thing!”

“Everything is ready. Big Sister, look!”

“Yes.” The “Big Sister” nodded slightly and calmly walked towards the “village store” at the side.

Her voice came from behind her faceplate. “Excuse me...”

“Don’t miss this!”

Li Changshou’s paper effigy shouted, “A life-saving Spirit Pill, a supreme-grade treasure talisman that can blow up a Golden Immortal, and a special Dharma artifact that can find its own way back. I have everything you need!”

The “Big Sister” frowned slightly behind her faceplate and asked, “Can you let me see the color of the pills?”

The paper effigy chuckled and said, “Fellow Daoist, your cultivation level is not bad. There are many people and I’m outnumbered. You won’t take advantage of me, right?”

“Fellow Daoist, that’s a little insulting.”

“Big Sister” said calmly, “I just want to buy some pills. I didn’t have time to prepare some on the way here.”

“Big Sister, I have more to spare here!”

“Big Sister, just use ours. You don’t have to stoop so low as to buy pills from such a small merchant. He has a talisman that can blow up a Golden Immortal? Nonsense!”

The paper effigy in the form of a burly middle-aged man smiled calmly. He casually took a pill from the shelf behind him and opened it. It emitted a colorful stream of light, and a faint fragrance that made people feel refreshed spread in a radius of 100 feet.

A male cultivator with a weathered face exclaimed, “Six Revolutions Spirit Pill!”

“Yo, you know your stuff, don’t you?”

Li Changshou squinted and smiled. “Do you want to buy my pills?”

Clang!

A sack of Spirit Stones and treasure ores were thrown onto the table by the “Big Sister”. “How many pills can these be exchanged for?”

Li Changshou frowned.

IT Why did this fellow make herself so miserable? She was so excited when she saw the Six Revolutions Spirit Pill.

Doesn’t she know that she can get a few boxes of Nine Revolutions Spirit Pills from the Little Qiong Peak?

Why is she so stubborn?

“These pills are not for sale. I only have two or three bottles here.” Li Changshou’s paper effigy squinted and smiled. “However, today, if you are willing to take off your mask and let me take a look, I will give you a bottle. How about that?”

The Qi Refinement cultivators were enraged.

“You!”

“Alright.”

“Big Sister” replied calmly. She raised her hand and took off her mask, revealing an exquisite face that seemed delicate and tender. However, it was obvious that this face was not her true appearance.

IT You put on a mask behind the mask and still say that you are not a member of a hidden sect!

“Fellow Daoist, you’re straightforward. Unfortunately, you’re not the person I’m looking for. Here.”

“Thank you.”

The “Big Sister” wrapped her right hand with immortal power and took the jade bottle to examine it carefully. She put it into her storage Dharma treasure but did not take back the sack that she had thrown out.

The value of the two was actually about the same. However, it was easy to obtain Spirit Stones and precious ores. The Six Revolutions Spirit Pills were rare at the edge of the trichiliocosm.

The group looked at Li Changshou’s paper effigy, and their gazes became much friendlier.

Most of the time, a supreme-grade pill was a life-saver.

The boss of the small shop, who seemed to have some background, had given them a lot of benefits.

They rested for a while and were about to set off. The big sister made a white cloud that was suffused with a faint golden light. She slowly lifted them up and was about to head towards the almost endless black cloud.

“Everyone, can you take me along?”

A shout came from behind. The few of them immediately captured it with their immortal senses. The burly man from the convenience store walked out of his small shop and drew a simple talisman. The small shop folded and shrank on its own. It quickly turned into the size of a palm and was put into the burly man’s bag.

“I’m barely at the Golden Immortal realm. I’m about to leave this place. I want to go inside and broaden my horizons!”

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of Six Revolutions Spirit Pills. “If you can protect me for twenty-four hours, I will give this to you. You guys can decide where to go. Just stroll at the edge.”

The people on the cloud were clearly hesitant, but the big sister said, “There are many immortals here. Fellow Daoist, you can hire someone else.”

Then, she rode a cloud forward without any reluctance.

The others looked at their eldest sister with admiration.

They were willing to call her ‘Big Sister’ not only because she was powerful and could fight, but also because she cared for them and gave them all kinds of treasures and pills.

More importantly, it was because of her decisiveness.

There were many people in the Primordial World who were indecisive and killed the innocent. This decisiveness had already saved their lives several times.

However, today, they encountered a “tough nut”.

The golden cloud flew at a uniform speed at a low altitude. It was originally peaceful and stable. Suddenly, a narrow white cloud in the shape of a wooden boat floated over from the side. The burly man lay on the white cloud with his right hand holding his head and a silly smile on his lips. The short combat clothes on his body made him look foolish and gullible.

“Everyone, don’t leave in such a hurry. I think you guys are especially reliable. It will definitely be especially safe for us to travel together. How is it?”

“Not considering?

I’ll just say it directly. I’m actually considered an expert at refining pills and making talismans. Now, I just lack a good team to fight on the Primordial World stage. I’m afraid of being bullied when I’m alone, so we can look out for each other if we join forces.

If you don’t believe me, I can swear a Great Dao oath and prove that I have no ill intentions towards you.”

The others were stunned.

Everyone out there valued dignity. Why was this burly man still pestering them?

“Fellow Daoist.”

The “Big Sister” turned her head slightly. There was a hint of warning in her eyes behind her faceplate. The golden cloud under her feet increased in speed.

“I won’t send you off.”

“No... Ah!”

Li Changshou’s paper effigy shouted from behind. Then, he looked up at the sky and sighed. He muttered to himself in front of the other party, “Ah, it’s not easy to meet the legendary Black Beast Destroyer. My alchemy skills have actually been despised.”

The people on the Golden Cloud looked at each other and smiled peacefully.

Indeed, he was pestering her because of her reputation.

However, his name sounded a little awkward to them.

“This fellow doesn’t understand at all,” a female cultivator said softly. “What I despise is not his ability, but his character. How can you coerce me into taking off my mask?”

“There’s no need to gossip about others.”

“Big Sister” said calmly. The few of them chatted and laughed a few times. Their expressions gradually turned serious.

In front of them, black smoke filled the air. The fog was hazy, and the Black Beasts roared continuously.

An ordinary hunting battle began.

...

“Hmm...”

On the cloud boat, the burly man lying on the side rubbed his nose and pondered for a while.

Should I follow them and take a look?

He was the master of the Court of Dao, the ultimate honorary advisor of the Heavenly Courts, the favorite disciple of the Grand Pure One, the Dao Ancestor terminator, the guardian of the Chaos Sea, and the guardian of the spatial rift. It would not be nice to tell others that he was pestering his junior sister.

It did not matter if he knelt or not. It was mainly because he would be easily teased by Zhao Gongming and the others.

Forget it. In the end, I can’t be at ease if I don’t do it. I haven’t seen her for so many years. It’s good to catch up.

As for how he could join their team, Li Changshou naturally had various ways to make arrangements.

He had to make a detailed plan and a few backup plans.

Ah, this familiar sense of security.

He felt more at ease.
