Li Changshou kept recalling what he had just done.
It felt a little surreal.
Before he could exert any strength, the other party had already collapsed.
Not only did he fall, but he also pulled another big shot into the trap…
Li Changshou had long experienced how naive and silly Master Zhao was. He more or less knew about him.
If not for the huge karma on Master Zhao, Li Changshou would be happy to befriend him.
However, Perfected Huang Long…
Is he really loyal or is he a big thief?
He did not dare to make a conclusion because one can never see the true colors of another person.
Sitting in the secret underground chamber of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou rubbed the middle of his forehead and spread out the two pieces of paper. He drew a few special symbols on the first piece of paper.
They were symbols of drumsticks, Night Light Cups, bamboo baskets, slingshots, and orchids.
Then, he placed the paper in front of him and drew a bunch of small “things” on the second piece of paper.
A small seedling represented his Great Daoist Master’s position in the middle.
There was a matchstick man sitting under the sapling. It represented Li Changshou who was cooling himself under the tree which he used as shelter.
Next, on the left side of the small tree, he drew a crab. He used it as a sign to represent Master Zhao who often did whatever he wanted without restraint.
There were three seaweeds behind the crab, which represented the Three Xiao Immortals. One of them was clearly covered in too much ink, making it look very lively. As for the other two seaweeds, they were drawn casually in one stroke.
Li Changshou drew another small tripod with a missing leg. It represented Qin Wan. There were nine spots on the tripod that represented the ten Heavenly Lords of Golden Ao Island
On the right side of the small tree, Li Changshou drew an ‘A’. He was Senior Yun Zhongzi. He had drawn a smiley face talisman to represent Perfected Huang Long…
They were the disciples of the three Saints whom he had come into contact with so far. There was a large patch of blank space on the paper. For example, the Sect Master of the Immortal Du Sect, Daoist Wuyou, was a nameless cannon fodder at the edge of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. There was no need for him to be included there. Li Changshou added another ganoderma to represent Han Zhi. He drew a horsetail whisk below the tree sapling, which represented the founder of the Immortal Du Sect, Perfected Du’e.
Although he had not come into direct contact, he had deep karma with that Perfected One.
Then, Li Changshou focused on the piece of paper and calmed himself down.
The Great God-Conferment Tribulation was a civil war between the three sects.
The Western Sect’s plan was successful.
At that time, not only would the living beings in the South Continent be destroyed, the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools in the Middle Continent and the East Continent would also be in danger.
A small tribulation like the dragon race’s entry to the Heavenly Courts was destined to result in the deaths of many many members of the Sea Clan and dragon race.
However, compared to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation in the future, it was not worth mentioning.
The Sea Clan was just one of the supporting roles in the Primordial World.
The main characters of the Primordial World’s stage were the human race, the Three Sects, and countless human Qi Refinement cultivators…
The more Li Changshou knew about the situation, the more connections he had with the Heavenly Courts. At that moment, he could vaguely sense that the tribulation that was about to engulf the five continents and the trichiliocosm was brewing.
He deduced that there shouldn’t be too many mortal casualties during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. It was a relatively normal change in power in the South Continent.
However, the deaths of the Qi Refinement cultivators would be extremely shocking. It might even be comparable to the suffering of living beings during the Magi-Demon Tribulation.
If not, why would the calamities be measured?
There was no choice. It was the custom of the Primordial World.
Every time the Heavenly Dao Master felt that the living beings were too powerful and the world was about to collapse, he would create a tribulation to suppress them…
“It’s useless to think about this now. There should still be some time left.” The great tribulation would not arrive without warning. At the very least, there should be some signs that appear a few thousand years in advance.
Li Changshou pondered over his recent plans and plans regarding the Sea God Sect and the dragon race in the South Ocean. He wanted to see if there were any hidden dangers.
I have to reflect thrice every day. I can be stable and safe today. Will things be stable tomorrow?
After deducing carefully, Li Changshou stood up and placed the two pieces of paper on a wall to seal them with immortal power. I don’t know if my wedding will go smoothly…
Li Changshou did not like to befriend people. However, since he was already close to Ao Yi, he would definitely help him if he could.
As for Master Zhao…
Forget it, forget it. Even if there are ten of me, I can’t keep him.
When Li Changshou paid attention to the situation at Little Qiong Peak, Jiu Wu and the other two had already left quietly.
Jiu Wu and the others had eaten some melons and confirmed that their master was engrossed in the custom of Dao companion. As disciples, they could only secretly express their support.
There were five pairs of Dao companions among the nine disciples of Exalted Wang Qing. How could he not know that outsiders would only cause the situation to become messier and messier as they helped? He could only wait for the matters to develop…
He wanted to be rich but he had to care about his pride as well.
Li Changshou did not do anything else about the marriage between Exalted Wang Qing and his Grandmaster. He had already helped them as much as he could.
He had prepared special clothes for his little Grandmaster, and he had also come up with a plan for Exalted Wang Qing…
What else could he do other than that?
He couldn’t just let the two of them skip the part of being wishy-washy and just go straight to being passionate.
Eh?
This is not a bad idea. I can use a disciple of Exalted Wang Qing to execute it skillfully…
It is not too late to decide after observing the situation first.
Three days after the “Little Qiong Peak’s Painting Exhibition”, Exalted Wang Qing wore a new Daoist robe made by Jiu Jiu and walked straight to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
As for his little Grandmaster, Jiang Lin’er, she had also changed into the “Shiny-Scaled Silver Armor” that Li Changshou had made for her. She was hiding her evilness and pretending…
The two of them continued to chat and walk.
However, Exalted Wang Qing came prepared this time. He even took out a flute and played a few melodies under a tree. The sound of the flute was distant and filled with Dao runes. If he were to perform in town, people would pay at least four Spirit Stones to listen to a piece…
Unfortunately, his Little Grandmaster only knew how to raise her huge sword and hit others. If she could dance at the side, the scene would probably be much more beautiful.
Li Changshou observed for half a day…
After Exalted Wang Qing left, Li Changshou’s main body left the underground chamber. He carried the dishes that Ling’e had just prepared and brought Ling’e to meet Elder Wan Linyun.
That was not the first time Li Changshou had brought his junior sister to Pill Tripod Peak.
To let Lingle gradually come into contact with the powerful figures in the sect and obtain Elder Wan Linyun’s protection, it was equivalent to having another layer of backing in the sect.
If he had more backing, he would be prepared.
In front of her senior brother, Ling’e put away her “smartness” and simply behaved in an obedient and hardworking manner…
When her senior brother and Elder Wan started talking about alchemy, she brewed wine, replenished wine, and tried her best to reduce her presence.
Li Changshou and Elder Wan Linyun discussed the Poison Sutra for a few hours with great interest. They also took out a brocade box.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Elder, have you completed your Immortal Sense Poisonous Pill?”
“Hehe.” Elder Wan Linyun smiled coldly. Ling’e immediately lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, afraid that she would get a nightmare.
Elder Wan Linyun said warmly, “Although I have mastered the Immortal Sense Poisonous Pill, it has little effect… However, I did not waste any effort. After making such a pill, I named it the Nine-Armored Protection Pill. Changshou, let’s test your ability to recognize and identify pills. Test what effects the pills have.”
Li Changshou said, “Elder, please protect my junior sister.”
“Alright.” Elder Wan Linyun raised his hand at Ling’e and formed a thick immortal barrier.
Li Changshou added, “Ling’e, don’t look over here.”
Following that, Li Changshou’s expression turned grave. He secretly circulated his immortal powers to protect his essence soul and retracted his immortal senses.
He opened the brocade box and wrapped his fingers in his simulated Dharma powers. He pinched the indigo-green poisonous pill that was the size of longan fruit.
Elder Wan looked at Li Changshou with a smile. His old eyes were filled with anticipation.
Very quickly, Li Changshou said in surprise, “Elder, this pill… is so powerful! Its effect seems to be just chaotic, but it directly affects the immortal senses that the other party sent out, causing the immortal senses to become chaotic… If one carries the poisonous pill with him, others would only see fog when they probe him. If we use this together with the trapping arrays and bewitching arrays, the effect will definitely be extraordinary!”
“Hehehe.” Elder Wan Linyun squinted and smiled. He nodded in satisfaction and said, “I didn’t think of using them with the array formations.”
Li Changshou praised in his heart, “Elder, you are really talented!”
“Yes.” Elder Wan nodded with a smile. He took out a jade token and handed it to Li Changshou. “This is the pill formula and some spirit medicine and poisonous herbs that can be used interchangeably.”
Li Changshou stood up and bowed with a Dao salute. With a serious expression, he grabbed the jade token.
“Thank you, Elder, for the pills.”
Ling’e could not help but blink…
Is Senior Brother not going to refuse?
Why did he accept it directly?
Elder Wan Linyun nodded slowly. There was a hint of joy in his eyes, and he did not mention it again.
He looked at the brocade box Li Changshou took out and asked, “What new pill did you
make?”
“I’m about to present it to you, Elder.” Li Changshou put away the pill formula and made a Dao salute. Then, he sat back on the brick bed.
He opened the brocade box and revealed three “immortal beans” the size of his fingertips. He casually took out one and cast the mystical ability of the soybeans before tossing them aside. With a soft thud, the immortal light condensed into a burly golden-armored guard.
Elder Wan Linyun said indifferently, “Scatter the beans to form soldiers? I’ve heard of this mystical ability before. It’s one of the 36 Ways of the Big Dipper.”
Li Changshou nodded with a smile. He took out a second immortal bean and sent it to Elder Wan Linyun with his Dharma powers.
Elder Wan pinched the bean and sensed it carefully. Then, he raised his eyebrows.
“Medicine? It doesn’t seem like it.”
Li Changshou did not dare to hide it. He explained, “I had some ideas by chance. I placed the immortal bean into the Pill Furnace and used it as the main ingredient. Together with some spirit herbs, I refined it using alchemy techniques and preserved its vitality. Elder, please take a look.”
Li Changshou retrieved the immortal beans and threw them at the empty space outside the door. He then used his hands to activate them.
Another tall and burly golden-armored guard slowly stood up. Behind the golden armor, his entire body was dark green, including his hair, and he was emitting a faint green poisonous fog.
Soldiers formed from beans that are greener with more materials!
Elder Wan Linyun’s eyes lit up. His stiff expression gradually turned ferocious…
“Amazing!”
“Hehe.” Li Changshou smiled in embarrassment. “I was just using a shortcut.”
“Practice is the rarest. How can we talk about shortcuts?”
Elder Wan Linyun stood up and walked out of the house. He held onto his bronze-skinned walking stick and paced around the guard. He looked excited.
“Changshou.”
“I’m here.”
Elder Wan Linyun said seriously, “I’ve been poor all my life. I guess I only left behind a few more Poison Sutras and some pill formulas. However, you have developed the use of the Poisonous Pill!”
“Elder, you have set the standards too high for a disciple.”
Li Changshou brought Ling’e out of the attic and gestured for Ling’e to follow behind him. She would be severely injured if she were to encounter the lethal poison emanating from the poisonous soldier outside.
Li Changshou bowed and said, “Elder, I have a request.”
Elder Wan Linyun sized up the poisonous soldier intently. “Speak.”
Li Changshou said, “Can I take up three to five years of your time? I want to increase the power of the Immortal Bean Poisonous Soldiers, but my Alchemy Dao attainment is too shallow. I will not be able to reap any gains in a short time. I will be using a batch of such Poisonous Soldiers in ten years’ time.”
Ling’e, who was hiding behind her senior brother, could not help but blink when she heard that.
Is Senior Brother deliberately setting a trap for the elders? Why did he take the initiative to say so much…
However, to Ling’e’s surprise, Elder Wan Linyun did not ask any further. He nodded happily and agreed.
“Alright, I’ll start thinking about it today.”
“Thank you, Elder.” Li Changshou took out two jade tokens. One of them recorded Li Changshou’s Dharma powers of transforming the beans into weapons, while the other recorded the formula for the Poisonous Immortal Beans he had refined previously.
Then, Li Changshou took another treasure pouch. There were three hundred immortal beans that he had just cooked yesterday…
Elder Wan Linyun kept all of those items and began discussing it with Li Changshou excitedly.
Ling’e, who was standing at the side, naturally did not understand that. She just waited obediently from noon to dusk, to late at night.
When Li Changshou returned to Little Qiong Peak with Ling’e, he was still thinking about the advice Elder Wan Linyun had given him. He felt enlightened.
Indeed, that kind of research would have to be done by a professional and skilled expert. It would be much easier!
Before Li Changshou left, he also tactfully expressed his request—the cost of controlling the Immortal Bean Poisonous Soldiers.
He needed a large number of Immortal Bean Poisonous Soldiers.
The effects were outstanding, but the cost of making it was too expensive. To him, it was just an inventory of some trump cards.
Apart from that, Li Changshou also requested Elder Wan Linyun not to let the fourth person know. Otherwise, he would be in trouble.
Elder Wan Linyun agreed without much hesitation. Without asking Li Changshou for any reason, he started the research and development of the Poisonous Immortal Beans…
Eliminating poison and pills were unrelated.
Standing in front of the Pill Chamber, Lingle could not help but ask softly, “Senior Brother, what are you doing outside the sect?”
“It’s just a small matter.” Li Changshou smiled and used the mystical ability passed down by the Little Qiong Peak.
“You don’t have to ask too much. Just focus on your cultivation. I brought you to see Elder Wan today. Apart from letting Elder Wan continue to remember you, I also want you to understand these things. Junior Sister, the world is huge and dangerous. When you become an immortal, you will be able to come into contact with an even more exciting world.”
Li Changshou still wanted to continue with his lecture. Suddenly, he felt a sense of melancholy and confusion…
“Brother Sect Master…”
Second Sect Master… What happened? Li Changshou said to Ling’e, “Go back. Grandmaster is still waiting for you. He seems to want to talk to you.” “Oh,” Lingle replied. She looked at her senior brother as he walked into the Pill Chamber and could not help but grimace. What’s so good about the outside world? You even said it’ll get more exciting…
Once I become an immortal, i’ll first press you on the barrier and regain the pride that I lost previously!
