This is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing.”
Peak Master Yun Chenzi of Elixir Dust Peak looked at the Grand Wealth Immortal in front of him and complained:
“Uncle Master, why have you covered yourself up ?
You’re so secretive and even insisted on having me talk to you here.”
Li Dazhi touched the ‘prince’s cloth’ wrapped around his head, sighed, and removed the cloth to reveal…
Yun Chenzi’s beard and hair trembled.
The venerable and highly respected old Heavenly Immortal was now buckling over in laughter.
But there were several spots the size of dates on the top of Li Dazhi’s head that were bald and shiny.
Li Dazhi said with a sigh, “Oh, stop laughing at me!
If I had a way, would I need to come to you for help?
My hair has been falling out over the past year, precisely at these few spots, and nothing I’ve tried works!”
Yun Chenzi performed the Calm Mind Technique on himself, choosing not to look at Li Dazhi’s ‘unique’ hairstyle, and seriously asked, “Uncle Master, why are you losing hair?”
“About that,” Li Dazhi hesitated, “perhaps it’s because my cultivation has been advancing too quickly, costing me a bit of my lifespan, but it’s not a big issue.
I now have tens of thousands of years of life expectancy, and I’ve already reached the sixth rank of a True Immortal.”
“Uncle Master’s progress in cultivation is indeed astonishing!”
Yun Chenzi said with a laugh:
“May this poor Daoist take your pulse, Uncle Master?”
“No problem, I’m not one to conceal an illness from a doctor.
I just want to get some elixir pills to prevent hair loss or stimulate hair growth.
For you alchemy grandmasters from the East Continent, this shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“A minor issue, a minor issue.”
Yun Chenzi rubbed his hands together, invited Li Dazhi to sit down, and placed his hand on Li Dazhi’s arm, muttering thoughtfully.
“The problem isn’t serious; it’s indeed just a minor loss of lifespan but very slight.
For Uncle Master, it’s but a drop in the ocean; theoretically, you shouldn’t be losing hair…”
“Uncle Master, did you use any secret technique for your cultivation?”
“There’s no need to hide it from you.”
“Ping’an has gone out for experiential training, and I’m worried about his safety.
I’ve used a little bit of the Fate Borrowing Secret Technique on him, renewing it every three days.”
“Ah, it must be the backlash from the secret technique.
The price of using secret techniques varies greatly, and hair loss is a very minor consequence.”
Yun Chenzi stroked his beard and pondered:
“If Uncle Master you care so much, why not stop using the secret technique to see what happens?”
After all, hair loss is a minor issue,” Li Dazhi laughed, “at worst, I’ll shave my head bald and let the hair grow back later.
Ping’an is still wandering out there in dangerous lands inhabited by the Demon Race.”
“Everyone says that Uncle Master’s obsession is to ensure Ping’an lives a long and safe life.
Truly nothing but the truth!”
A slight vibration of spiritual power suddenly appeared from Li Dazhi’s chest.
Li Dazhi took out an expensive Messaging Jade Talisman, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately infused it with immortal power.
— The usage of the Messaging Jade Talisman is to fly from one place to another; it is relatively inexpensive and is a common means of communication for Qi Cultivators.
The Communication Jade Talisman is more difficult to make; the craftsman must have a deep understanding of the Great Dao of Qiankun, and they’re mostly found within large sects with a Golden Immortal in residence, rarely seen on the market.
This Communication Jade Talisman of Li Dazhi was personally refined by Granny Linghua, similar to those Wanyun return tokens.
The corresponding other Communication Jade Talisman was in Li Ping’an’s hands.
“Ping’an, what’s happened to you?”
“Father,” Li Ping’an’s voice came through, “don’t get agitated, I’m fine.
I’m with my master currently out for experiential training, and we’ve run into a little bit of trouble…
Is it convenient for you to talk over there?”
Yun Chenzi laughed, “This poor Daoist will go back to alchemy.”
“No need, no need,” Li Dazhi waved his hand, “It’s just you, Uncle Yun Chenzi, and no strangers around, don’t worry.”
“Father, I’ll keep it short; the Communication Jade Talisman can only be used for the duration of an incense stick.”
Li Ping’an pondered for a moment, then quickly said:
“My master and I are currently in Yongchu City on the southeastern border of the Western Continent.
This city is located southeast of Bailin Mountain, and southwest of Ming Snake Valley.
“We haven’t come across any dangers, so you don’t have to worry, but after investigating for a few days, we are now convinced that among the four Heavenly Immortals, seven True Immortals, and over forty Yuan Immortals stationed in the city, there are more than one traitor who is in cahoots with the Demon Race.
“I haven’t ascertained how they are in cahoots or what personal gains they might seek from such dealings with the Demon Race, but my master’s view is that we cannot overlook this matter.”
“Indeed, this cannot be overlooked!”
Yun Chenzi’s beard and hair stood on end, he declared firmly:
“This is unacceptable, to have traitors colluding with the Demon Race at a border location!”
Li Dazhi looked at Yun Chenzi and frowned, “This matter is no small issue.
You two should not act recklessly; immortals from the Eastern Alliance come from various major sects.”
“I’d like to ask my father to report this matter to Granny Linghua.”
Li Ping’an instructed:
“Apart from Granny Linghua, do not tell anyone about this matter.
No immortals from Wanyun Sect should come to the East Continent.
Our sect has already aroused much dissatisfaction from many sects due to the Castcloud Hall incident.
The relationships within the Eastern Alliance are complex and intertwined.
“Father, you needn’t worry about us; my master and I can withdraw at our convenience.
“What we need now is a high-ranking expert from the Eastern Alliance, one with the authority to make decisions, to come here discreetly, without alerting anyone.
“Furthermore, please ask this person from the Eastern Alliance to carry a handwritten letter with Granny Linghua’s breath and Dao Charm on it…
it would be best if Granny Linghua could also come in secret.”
Li Dazhi said solemnly, “Alright, I’ll go request an audience with Uncle Master right now!”
“Father, you must not leave Wanyun Sect.”
“I know, you don’t have to worry about me,” Li Dazhi sighed, “your great-grandmaster has grounded me…
Xu Sheng senior is actually more familiar with the Eastern Alliance than I am.”
Li Ping’an said softly, “For now, let’s not ask Senior Xu Sheng to get involved.
Granny Linghua is cautious in her actions, and Senior Xu Sheng’s voice is really too loud.”
