Chapter 286 You’re Not Showing Me Respect If You Don’t Take It

“Hey, be gentle… Fellow Daoist, be gentle.”

On the immortal mountain in the corner of the lake, two figures were tiptoeing and sneaking towards the mountain peak.

The burly man in front of him had already taken off his raincoat. His short-sleeved shirt and long pants were rather plain. However, he exuded an authoritative aura that no one dared to underestimate.

He was a big shot who had separated a wisp of the Primordial Purple Qi!

Behind the burly man, Li Changshou’s old immortal paper effigy slowly followed. He had already prepared the gift that he would present to Da Yu.

When General Dongmu prepared the gifts, he naturally prepared eight of them. No matter how poor the Heavenly Courts were, they still wanted their pride. It was impossible for the Sea God to bring a single gift to pay respects to the eight human sages.

However, the current situation far exceeded Li Changshou’s expectations…

He really wanted to ask Senior Da Yu some questions.

Why?

Why did you have to drag me into your house?

Everyone had a tacit understanding and smiled at such matters. It was all in the past. There was no need to be so thick-skinned…

After nervously passing by a few buildings, Li Changshou followed the Emperor Da Yu into a few layers of array formations. When they arrived at a mountain peak, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other and laughed loudly, pretending that nothing had happened. “Please!” Da Yu raised his hand and acted like a domineering emperor. With a wave of his hand, he said, “My humble abode is simple and crude. Don’t mind it. Today, we have gone through thick and thin together. We should be close friends and confidantes!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Is he trying to seal my mouth?

Li Changshou smiled bitterly. Even if I jumped out and shouted at everyone to tell them that Yu the Great, the human Emperor Da Yu, is afraid of his wife, Tu Shan, and cries every day, no one would believe me, right? Moreover, compared to the gossip of Emperor Da Yu, the human Qi Refinement cultivators were more concerned about Xuan, ahem, and how to achieve immortality and seek Dao!

“Senior, don’t worry,” Li Changshou said in a low voice. “I have seen and heard nothing during this trip. I only know that you are very powerful and you love your wife. You are the role model for men!”

Da Yu immediately smiled and sighed. “I’m just afraid. There’s no need to be so tactful. I owe her. It’s only right for me to dote on her.”

After saying that, Da Yu put down the fishing pole and fish basket. He hung the straw raincoat at the side and asked Li Changshou to wait at the stone table under the tree.

“There’s no need to be restrained. There are no rules in this small courtyard.”

“Thank you for your hospitality, Senior.” Li Changshou cupped his hands and sat obediently on a wooden chair at the side. He waited for Emperor Da Yu to drink tea with him.

To Li Changshou, being able to build a good relationship with Emperor Da Yu was naturally beneficial.

At the same time, Li Changshou began to size up the miscellaneous items in the courtyard.

In the corner at the side, there was a stone tablet. Beside the stone tablet, there was a rusty metal rod. Beside it, ther was a stone ax. Li Changshou was not interested in it at first. He had only seen it by chance. However, he could not take his eyes off it because he had taken another look at it…

Such an intense power of merit!

In fact, each of them was several times the amount of merit he had accumulated from incense offerings! Furthermore, it was pure Heavenly Dao merit. Could it be that this is the Postnatal Merit Numinous treasure of Emperor Da Yu, the Mountain-Splitting Set that he had used when he was in charge of regulating the rivers? Did he just leave it in the corner to collect dust like this?

“Huh?”

Da Yu, who had changed into a long robe, walked out of the house. He followed Li Changshou’s gaze and smiled. He opened his hand and grabbed the metal rod. Da Yu carried it forward. “Here!” Da Yu laughed out loud. “To seal your lips. This is a ruler that I used to measure the water level back then. It’s not very useful. Its size can be varied. It’s sturdy and not easily destroyed. There’s a portion of merit on it. It’s not bad to place this at your home and set up a roof beam and tent.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Divine Sea-Calming Needle? Why is he using this thing? He was the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts. He could not possibly use the appearance of an old immortal to fight with others with a rod, right? Could it be that after I take this thing and extract its merit, I can refine it again, carve the words ‘Ruyi Golden Rod’ on it, and send it to the Dragon Palace as a decoration for a monkey that might only appear in tens of thousands of years?

Moreover, the calamity of the Journey to the West was most likely a plot by the Saints and a battle between the great sects. He really did not dare to touch the Sea-Calming Divine Needle!

It was true that he lacked treasures now, but he did not want to take any.

Li Changshou would definitely not accept such an item that came with huge karma. “No, no. How can I accept such a huge gift!?!”

“Hahaha!” Da Yu laughed and said, “Don’t make fun of me. When I came to Fire Cloud Cave, I left all that I could leave for my fellow clansmen. I only brought these treasures that were stained with merit. Now that I have succeeded in my cultivation, merit is useless to me. Take it! Why? Do you still want my Mountain-Splitting Axe? That’s my weapon. I can’t give you any treasures that are meant for killing. Moreover, this metal rod and mountain-splitting ax were given to me by Senior Grand Supreme Elder. It’s fate that I’m returning them to the disciples of Ren School today.”

Why is this rod not a killing treasure?

Are you looking down on the monkey?

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior, I’m here on behalf of the Jade Emperor. It’s not convenient for me to accept the treasure that you have given me.”

“Ah, there are no human emperors or ministers of the Heavenly Courts here.” Da Yu threw the rusty metal rod in front of Li Changshou. “Take it if you like it. If you don’t, don’t take it.”Li Changshou” After saying that, Da Yu smiled at Li Changshou. If he did not accept the hush money, the matter would not end today… However, in the face of the metal rod, he really..

“Senior, can you change to another one?”

Li Changshou immediately had a solution.

When Da Yu heard Li Changshou’s question, he was really stunned. He looked down at the metal rod in his hand and wondered, “Is there any other explanation for this thing?” Li Changshou said, “Senior, if you want to give me a gift, I won’t reject it. However, please don’t give me a treasure refined by the Grand Supreme Elder. When I went to the Tushita Palace to meet the Grand Supreme Elder, he had imparted to me the Dao of alchemy, not a treasure. If Elderly Lord sees this, he will definitely think that I’m unsatisfied…”

Although that reason was far-fetched, it was barely acceptable. Da Yu thought for a while and placed the metal rod aside. He was a little conflicted.

Then, Da Yu slapped his thigh and said, “How could I have forgotten about that treasure? You’re the Sea God. That thing should be very beneficial to you! Wait, I’ll go in and look for it!”

Li Changshou smiled and agreed. His heart twitched.

When Emperor Da Yu rushed to the main room, Li Changshou sized up the metal rod that was near his feet.

He raised his hand and grabbed the metal rod. However, he felt that it was rather heavy.

Fortunately, the immortal power in the paper effigy’s body was pure Golden Immortal immortal power. Before he became a Golden Immortal, Li Changshou’s paper effigy would probably have to use all his strength to pick it up. Li Changshou raised the metal rod and wiped away some rust. He saw that there were densely-packed strokes on it. He understood something

The reason why the rod had not gone to the East Ocean was probably because it had yet to transform into the Ruyi Golden Rod.

Such rich power of merit…

It was impossible for Li Changshou to say that he was not tempted.

Furthermore, he also thought that as long as he took the item away, took away the merit, reforged it, placed it in the East Ocean, and asked the East Ocean Dragon Palace to take care of it, he would actually be able to fulfill the final destination of the item.

However, Li Changshou dispelled that thought based on the principle that he ought to avoid karma as far as possible.

In order to be safe, it was better not to take it.

Li Changshou stood up and placed the metal rod back into the corner.

The ground of the small courtyard was also covered by the array. Otherwise, it would not be able to withstand the weight of the iron rod.

Li Changshou looked at the rusty Mountain-Splitting axe and the almost blurry Merit Tablet. He sighed in his heart. In the past, he had been the regulator of water and an emperor. He had established the foundation of the Kingdom of the Nine Provinces.

Now, he had gone into seclusion with his wife, and his armor had been hidden.

Ancestors of the human race like him were indeed worthy of praise.

After exchanging poems with Daoist Lu Ya previously, his poetic abilities had improved greatly! “Come, take a look at this!”

Da Yu shouted loudly with gusto. He held a scroll and slowly opened it. With a strong blow, dust flew everywhere.

“This is the Hydrology River Diagram of the mortal world of the South Continent. It’s different from the Connate treasure, the River Diagram. It records the Earth’s Water Vein that I drew when I was in charge of regulating water. The hydrology in many regions is rather complicated. The Heavenly Courts did not know much about the South Continent. I’m giving this to you today, it might benefit the humans in the future. You only need to refine this item slightly. It can be used for protection.”

As he spoke, Da Yu pushed the painting with both hands. The painting slowly unfolded, and streams of blue light surged out from it, emitting faint water ripples. There were images of rivers surging on it. He could hear the sound of rumbling water beside his ears!

This is… a top-grade Postnatal Merit Numinous treasure!

Li Changshou raised his hands. The painting was quite intelligent. It rolled up in front of Li Changshou and landed in his hands. Far away in the Immortal Du Sect in the East Continent, his main body suddenly felt strange. His essence soul sensed the joy from the treasure map. The Sea God’s divine-rights trident beside his essence soul also trembled slightly. “Thank you for the treasure, Senior!”

Li Changshou bowed to Da Yu, who finally felt relieved.

“Come, have some tea. Rest here for half a day. I’ll bring you to meet the seniors!”

Hence, Da Yu and Li Changshou sat down and drank tea while talking about the current situation of the human race.

Li Changshou took out the gift that the Heavenly Courts wanted to give to the Emperor Da Yu. There was a brocade box inside. There were three large peaches, a book, two exquisite phoenix hairpins, and a few items that he was playing with The immortal peach was formed from the Connate Spirit Root, so the value of the gift was guaranteed.

Seeing how Yu the Great liked the items, he knew that the gift was naturally considered perfect.

At that moment, Da Yu held the two jade balls in his palm and gently “examined” them. Wisps of strange immortal power entered the palm of the Great Yu Emperor, making him look rather comfortable.

“Do you have any gifts for the seniors?” “Yes.” Li Changshou smiled and agreed. Da Yu said, “Senior Fuxi has already predicted your arrival today. He also knows why you are here. In fact, there is no need for us, who are no longer in the position of the Human Emperors, to agree to promote worshiping the heavens and earth in the human race.” He continued, “Ah, the South Continent has been without a leader for a long time. The various places are in chaos and there are many countries. The order that I established back then has long disappeared.”

“Although the human race is prosperous, there are many humans who are suffering from the chaos of war. If the Heavenly Emperor interferes and allows the South Continent to reunite as soon as possible, the human race will be safe.”

Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the rise of the Shang Empire originated from today and the world?

Uh, did I come to look for the Copper Coin of Treasurefall and also participated in the Heaven Earth Tribulation and the human race’s matters?

Could it be that I have become a tool of the Heavenly Dao and am pushing some matters towards the direction of the Heavenly Dao’s deduction?

He would not be able to transcend the place if he did not become a saint. Most of the dangers in the Primordial World were probably because of that.

Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He did not delay his conversation with Da Yu. The two of them were chatting happily. Da Yu was knowledgeable and had seen plenty of the world. He had dabbled in various matters of the Dao. He also had a bearing that was rare for ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators. From time to time, he would say a few simple words, which made Li Changshou understand.

Most of their conversation was about the human race.

Just as the two of them were chatting happily, Da Yu suddenly stopped talking. He stood up nervously and gestured at Li Changshou. “Quick, hide!” Li Changshou blinked. A beautiful woman walked over from the courtyard.

She was born with an outstanding beauty, and her skin was fair and smooth. Even though she was only wearing a long dress and had a simple hairstyle, she still looked elegant.

However, her expression… was a little cold.

Tu Shan

Judging from the tense state of the Da Yu, that should be the case.

She carried a tray over. There were a few dishes that were steaming hot. There was also a pot of wine and two wine glasses. Tu Shan did not say a word as he set up the array formations. Li Changshou bowed and said, “Thank you, Senior.”

“Yes.” Finally, she responded. However, she did not even look at Da Yu and simply carried the tray away.

Da Yu smiled awkwardly. After Tu Shan left, he heaved a long sigh of relief.

Li Changshou said in a low voice, “Senior, I shouldn’t have asked about your family matters. However, I accepted the treasures that you gave me today. I want to help you do something. Your wife is…” “We quarreled.” Da Yu sat back on the chair and looked at the few dishes. He carefully picked up a piece of spiritual fish and placed it in his mouth to chew carefully. “We’ve been arguing all year round. I wonder what happened.”

Li Changshou said, “That’s how relationships are. Why don’t you explain it in detail, Senior? Even if I can’t come up with any ideas, I can help you.”

“Do you know this?”

Li Changshou smiled and nodded. “Elder Moon, my brother.”

“Oh?” Da Yu’s eyes lit up. After thinking for a while, he told her about the trivial matters that happened in the past.

At that moment, Da Yu was not the Human Emperor. He was just a man who did not understand what his wife was thinking.

Not long after, Li Changshou understood what was going on. “Senior, please listen to me,” Li Changshou said. “I have a technique, a plan, and a mantra that might be of some help to you.” “Really?” Da Yu’s eyes lit up and he moved forward.

Li Changshou deliberated over his words and began to explain slowly. He said, “I see, I see.” Very quickly, Da Yu came to a realization and fell into deep thought.

Four hours later, they were in a pavilion.

Da Yu, who had changed into golden battle armor, slowly walked over and arrived at the window sill of the pavilion. He looked at the beautiful figure who was dressing up in the mirror.

“Madam…”

‘Thirteen Strategies to Coax Your Wife’ (written by the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts, suggested to be used in conjunction with the ‘Precious Book of Words For Coaxing Your Wife’) “You’re so beautiful. I was wrong. What principles can a small matter have?”

“Do not argue, say more romantic words, observe her expression and hug her first.” Da Yu said in a warm voice, “In my life, my wife is still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Even if there are a few hundred more thousands of years, I will not get tired of her.”

“Hmph!” The woman who was combing her hair paused and looked at her husband in the mirror.

“Milady, I did something wrong previously. I got into a conflict with you because of a small matter… I really did something wrong.” The woman’s eyes turned red as she whispered, “You are the former Human Emperor. Why do you have to apologize to a woman like me?”

“How can there be a human emperor at home? I’m the only one who has a wife who has gone through hardships.”

Yu Da sighed softly and took two steps forward. He raised his hand tentatively and held his wife’s shoulder. “Madam, I couldn’t let go of my pride previously…”

“Why did you…”

“Milady, it’s really my fortune to be able to meet you in this life. Being able to stay here with you is also the proudest thing I’ve done in my life. I’m only willing to spend the rest of my life with you. If I owe you anything in the past, I’ll use the rest of my life to make it up to you. Milady, don’t be angry.”

“Hubby, it’s my fault.”

“Milady, you’re so beautiful…”

In the pavilion, two figures slowly hugged each other and spoke softly.

Li Changshou, who was waiting at the foot of the mountain, waved his horsetail whisk and silently retracted his immortal senses. He looked at the vast smoke and waited quietly.

The living beings in the Primordial World were relatively pure. It was much easier to coax a companion here than it was in his previous life…

However… Senior Da Yu seemed to have forgotten about the matter of visiting the big shot Fuxi and activated the layers of array formations! Forget it. It’s not easy for Senior Da Yu either. Let’s wait.
