Life was just like this. One would always encounter some unforeseen tribulations.
For example, he would be smashed by something while walking. He would be struck by the Heavenly Punishment while refining pills. He would be struck by nine strikes in a row, each stronger than the last, causing him to be severely injured … However, people had to learn to be strong.
However, people always had to learn to be strong. Finding joy in hardship was also an essential skill of a mature man.
Yes, the Heavenly Punishment was not without benefits.
Under the setting sun, Li Changshou, who had changed into a new robe made by Ling 'e, lay on the rocking chair in front of the Pill Chamber. He looked at the Blood Vomiting Treasure Pouch that had turned into ashes in his palm and felt the medicinal effects of the two sixth-grade healing Spirit Pills slowly spreading in his body. He smiled peacefully.
He had gained some resistance to the Heavenly Lightning. In the future, he would be able to reduce his injuries …
Then, Li Changshou continued to worry.
If I have to be punished by the Heavenly Punishment for every Gold God realm paper effigy, who can withstand it?
There was no other solution to that problem. He could only try again after he recovered from his injuries.
If the formation of every Gold God realm paper effigy required the creator to withstand nine Heavenly Punishments, he could only give up on that path.
To be safe, if he were to attract the Heavenly Punishment when he assembled the second Gold God realm paper effigy later, he would destroy the second paper effigy and see if he could persuade the Heavenly Punishment to retreat …
Although treasures were precious, his life was even more valuable.
It was not like he could not use the Heaven Immortal realm paper effigy. At most, he would use the Paper Effigy Sea Tactic and rely on numbers to win!
After taking a deep breath, Li Changshou stood up with some effort. His entire body was numb and sore, as if it was about to fall apart …
He walked back to the Pill Chamber and found a bookshelf in the corner. He formed hand seals and used the modified transformation technique.
With a shake of his body, he turned into a small butterfly and entered the secret compartment behind the vase in the corner of the bookshelf.
Footsteps sounded from the side. 'Main Body' Paper Effigy No. 3 had already taken up his post. He walked to the front of the Pill Furnace and meditated.
In fact, Li Changshou's attention had already landed on the only paper effigy with the combat power of the Gold God realm. He rode the paper effigy towards the one-way Earth Meridian Teleportation Array underground.
Even the incarnation of a Gold God had such a smooth escape technique …
At this time, Li Changshou suddenly had an absurd thought.
Had he unintentionally created something extraordinary?
He lowered his head and looked at his paper effigy. He stared at the pill that was slowly spinning in the paper effigy's abdomen and thought of the popular Essence Soul Dao cultivation method in the Primordial World …
As the environment of the Primordial World was too suitable for cultivation, every breath outside the South Continent was pure spiritual energy. Spirit meridians could be dug out from any random mountain.
In such an environment, it was not difficult for humans to embark on the path of cultivation. Those with aptitude and cultivation techniques could embark on that path. It was just that the positions they could reach were different.
Therefore, the current cultivation system was to directly refine Qi, cultivate the essence soul, and ascend to immortality.
If the external environment was not that outstanding, cultivators would need to continuously purify and purify the spiritual energy to meet the requirements of Immortal Ascension …
Wouldn't that require another cultivation system?
Golden Core Great Dao?
His paper effigy technique allowed him to condense an Outer Core and increase his own strength. As long as he had enough time, he seemed to be able to deduce a brand new cultivation system that was suitable for an environment with weak spiritual energy!
If I swallow a Golden Core, my life … ahem, the sky above my head is still the same!
At that thought, Li Changshou felt a sense of alarm in his heart. It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at him.
He was not looking at his main body or the paper effigy incarnation. Instead, he was looking at his essence soul and True Spirit. There was a hint of warning in his heart.
Li Changshou instantly tore apart his thoughts and bowed to the sky. He kept reminding himself in his heart.
Don't think about it, don't think about it!
Why do I keep thinking about these meaningless things!?!
In an instant, the feeling of being watched disappeared. Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. Immediately, he made the Gold God realm paper effigy escape deeper and head towards the Headless Mountain.
After more than half a month of investigation, Li Changshou had figured out the details of that place.
The demon city on the Headless Mountain was called Ci Tie City. It was considered an important town of the demon race.
The human race and the demon race had been fighting for years since ancient times. However, the human race could not destroy the demon race, and the demon race could not revive again. Both sides fell into a stalemate.
Apart from being enemies, the demon race and the human race had also formed some tacit understanding. They would open up some of their towns to the two sides to help each other out.
For example, at the border of the North Continent, there were many towns where humans and demons mixed.
The town that Taoist Kuai Si had gone to before he was killed was one of them.
Ci Tie was one of the ten Demon Saints of the Demon Court in the ancient times. The city should have been named by the demons to commemorate this demon expert.
The one in charge of this place was the Ox Demon Clan. It could be considered a large clan among the demons.
Most importantly, Li Changshou had investigated for a long time. No one could say that there were experts from ancient times in the demon race.
Li Changshou did not dare to be careless.
He had seen the scene of Ox-head and Horse-face forcefully defeating the experts of the Asura Clan. In the ancient war, Ox-head and Horse-face were experts of the Magi who had followed the Lady of Earth into the Netherworld. They were the kind of people who were "nameless".
If he used Ox-head and Horse-face as the standard for measuring the combat strength of an ordinary ancient Gold God, there might be a few difficult figures among the ox demons there.
The valley that Big Boss Fuxi had divined the location of the numinous treasure was the "ancestral land" of the ox demons …
A slight change would affect the entire body.
At that moment, he sorted out the effective information.
"Ci Tie City is rich in refined gold treasures. They are suitable for forging sharp blades.
This ox demon is not considered hostile to the human race. It has existed for tens of thousands of years. Generally speaking, it abides by the rules. Every time there is a conflict between the human race and the demon race, it will not interfere.
The human Qi Refinement cultivators seem to have neglected this place. There are no immortal sects that take the lead to destroy the demons. "
However, Ci Tie City was ultimately the territory of the demons. There were a large number of demon experts with deep negative karma. Occasionally, human Qi Refinement cultivators would be attacked after leaving the city.
The human Qi Refinement cultivators who dared to go there naturally had some abilities. Their cultivation levels were at least at the late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm …
How did Li Changshou find out about that information?
He naturally could not collect information from one side. He had to pay attention to some techniques.
Firstly, Li Changshou used a paper effigy named Lao Dao to sneak into Ci Tie City with the excuse of buying Mysterious Gold.
A few days later, he used the appearance of a young girl and an old woman to go to the nearest immortal sect and town to inquire about the information about the ox demons in Ci Tie City.
The "young girl" first went to the immortal sect that was 5,000 kilometers away and asked the old man guarding the mountain if he had seen her grandfather. Her grandfather said that he was going to a place called Ci Tie City. She did not know where Ci Tie City was.
The "old woman" went to the town and asked if anyone had seen her husband. She also took the opportunity to search for rumors about Ci Tie City …
That way, he could verify the information from various sources and not be afraid of being detected.
There were also some details. For example, if he used the image of a young girl to approach the old man guarding the mountain, he could ensure that the old immortals would not chase him away …
Anyway, when Li Changshou was monitoring the Duxian Gate, he had seen such a situation many times.
Ahem, let's talk about the treasure hunt.
Before Li Changshou attacked, he had to have a plan and prepare a few backup plans.
After the Gold God realm paper effigy arrived, he was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he set up hidden sentries outside Ci Tie City and the valley and observed the place from all directions …
Half a year.
In the past six months, Li Changshou had captured the pressure of the Gold God realm three times from the same expert. The other party should be an expert of the demon race who was guarding Ci Tie City. That frequency was quite active.
At the same time, Li Changshou figured out the flaws of the array formation in Ci Tie City and found the weak point of breaking the array formation from the inside.
He figured out the deployment of the troops, the rules of changing defenses, and the speed at which reinforcements were dispatched …
Apart from that, he had also seen the sister of the City Lord's wife meeting the demon general guarding the north city gate in the wilderness. He had also seen the brother-in-law of the City Lord's wife and the City Lord's wife secretly flirting with each other and rubbing their legs under the table.
The City Lord was an ox demon at the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm. He drank and ate with a group of demon experts every day. The green fur on his head was rather unique …
The treasure I'm looking for is most likely the treasure of this ox demon.
Li Changshou guessed.
The battle plan that he had set was not complicated. It was just to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
He would pretend to attack Ci Tie City and spread the sense of danger. He would mobilize the experts of the demon race in the valley and take the opportunity to enter the valley to search for treasures.
The only thing that he was uncertain about now was the realm of the strongest ox demon. If there was a Zenith Heaven Gold God guarding it, most of the paper effigies would be crippled there.
Therefore, to be safe, Li Changshou arranged for the 'Gold' paper effigies that he had just made to come over.
The three Gold God paper effigies entered the valley to feign an attack. One of the Gold God paper effigies entered the valley to search. The other two Gold God paper effigies were prepared to use their escape techniques at any time!
There were a total of six Gold God paper effigies, which gave Li Changshou more confidence in searching for treasures.
Naturally, what made him the most gratified during this period of time was the matter of the Gold God realm paper effigies.
After Li Changshou recovered from his injuries, he tried to create a second Gold God paper effigy. He did not receive the Heavenly Dao's loving care again.
However, in the process of continuously creating paper effigies, Li Changshou vaguely felt that if there were more than nine Gold God paper effigies existing at the same time, the Heavenly Punishment would descend again. It would be even more ferocious than the last time.
Forget it.
I'm afraid.
Six Gold God incarnations were enough at the current stage. He could also make up a scene of the six human Gold Gods besieging Ci Tie City.
The horn of the feint attack was set by Li Changshou to sound three days later!
He had to break through the array formation of Ci Tie City within an hour, stop the other party's reinforcements, kill the demons in the city who were plagued by negative karma, and enter the valley to search for treasures!
The battle was about to … come …
"Brother Hierarch ~"
The sudden ripples really caught Li Changshou off guard.
Li Changshou immediately focused his attention. A wisp of his spiritual will landed in the Sea God Temple in Anshui City, which had long been renovated. He used his spiritual will to build a bridge and bring Ao Yi into the dream.
What was going on?
Li Changshou had never ignored the Dragons. However, the Dragons had been stable recently. Nothing major had happened. Those who should be tortured were still tortured.
"Brother Hierarch!"
In the dream, Ao Yi, who was dressed in a golden-patterned white brocade robe, looked even more delicate and handsome. He jumped in front of Li Changshou in a few steps and immediately bowed with a Dao salute.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Look at how radiant you are. Is there something good?"
"Hehe, Brother, do you have anything important to do these few days?"
When he heard Ao Yi's question, Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, "I have something small to do. I'll be busy for the next half a month. Could it be that there's something you want me to do?"
Ao Yi could not help but pause. He frowned and said, "Brother, why didn't you tell Ao Yi that you had something to do? Ao Yi is willing to do it on your behalf!"
"It's fine. I'm just looking for something."
Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. He asked, "Do you have anything important to do here?"
"It's not important." Ao Yi hurriedly said, "However, Uncle-Master Qin Wan on Golden Ao Island found me and asked me if I could invite you to Golden Ao Island for a banquet.
Three days later, two Uncle-Masters of the Gold God on Golden Ao Island will become Dao companions. Everyone wants to take the opportunity to have a good time. "
"I won't be going." Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. "Send someone to Anshui City later. I'll prepare a gift and you can help me deliver it."
"Alright." Ao Yi immediately nodded and agreed. Then, he looked at Li Changshou with concern. "Brother, if there's something you need to do, please tell me!"
"Don't worry." Li Changshou raised his hand and patted Ao Yi's shoulder.
Ao Yi knew that he was a disciple of the Duxian Gate. It was not impossible to use Ao Yi to transfer the experts of the Dragons to help him facilitate the matter of Ci Tie City.
However, the Dragons had too many worries recently. He should not add to their burden.
With those thoughts in mind, Li Changshou smiled and said, "I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Ao Yi grinned and quickly ran away.
There was a joyous occasion on Golden Ao Island …
Li Changshou thought about it and felt that this matter should have nothing to do with him. It should not affect what he wanted to do.
Continue preparing for battle!
Hence, three days later …
An hour before the battle, Li Changshou was prepared to fight.
On Golden Turtle Island, hundreds and thousands of figures gathered inside and outside a hall.
In a corner of the hall, the Goddess of Fire Spirit, who was wearing a golden crown, was frowning as she looked at the empty main seat in the middle of the hall.
The Goddess of Golden Light, who was dressed in a short skirt, walked over quickly from the side and asked softly, "Where's Eldest Senior Brother? Why isn't he here yet? Didn't Eldest Senior Brother come with you? "
The Goddess of Fire Spirit could not help but pat her forehead.
"Just now, he said that he smelled that a treasure was about to appear and went to take a look. I really don't know where he is now."
"This …" The Goddess of Golden Light thought for a while. "I've already said it previously. Eldest Senior Brother Duobao came personally to bear witness for the two of them … What should I do?"
"Why don't we invite another eldest disciple over?"
"We can't go to the Green Touring Palace … How about this?" The Goddess of Golden Light hurriedly said, "I'll invite my two sworn brothers to the nearest Three-Immortal Island and see if I can invite one of the three senior sisters over."
The Goddess of Fire Spirit looked a little guilty. "I'll go with you. My master is really …"
"Ah."
The two Goddesses looked at each other and could only smile bitterly and sigh.
