In order to avoid too much trouble, Li Changshou thanked her and took the opportunity when the young girl ran out to call for someone. He left a pile of gold and silver treasures and quietly …
He left without saying goodbye.
He did not go far. He used the Earth Escape technique and burrowed 50 kilometers away. He hid in the trunk of a big tree in the forest by the sea and used his immortal senses to scan the village.
It is said that different places nurture different people.
Could it be that this village has been mixed with "Fierce Chinese Medicine"?
As far as his immortal senses could see, a group of strong men and women were busy everywhere. They were not just ordinarily strong, but …
They were …
They were indescribably strong and had the aura of nobility.
As far as his immortal senses could see, there were men and women with explosive muscles all over their bodies. Their arms were about the same thickness as his junior sister's waist. The huge millstone that weighed hundreds of kilograms was rolled around by a few children as a toy …
Apart from a small number of old people and children, most of the people in the village were about the same size as the young girl he had seen previously.
Perhaps I'm thinking too much. This is a village that pursues muscular beauty.
Li Changshou smiled in his heart. He was multitasking. While observing the village, he carefully sensed his immortal body and essence soul that had yet to fully recover.
Immortal senses were much easier to use than spiritual senses. Not only did they have a wider range of detection, but the images they could "see" were also clearer and more vivid.
Before the Tribulation Transcendence, Li Changshou's spiritual senses could only detect a range of 100 to 200 kilometers at most. However, he could only see blurry images. He could only see clear images within 15 kilometers.
It was different now. He could casually release his immortal senses and he could detect up to 1,000 kilometers away.
At that moment, even though he was thousands of kilometers away, he could roughly distinguish the two figures wrestling on the grass in the forest and their rough fighting movements …
It seemed that they were not fighting over there …
Ahem, I don't have to care about these details. In short, my detection ability has been greatly enhanced!
Li Changshou's attention returned to the village 50 kilometers away.
The young girl who had taken care of him for a period of time hurriedly led a group of people to the wooden house where he had been staying previously. She discovered a pile of gold and silver that he had left on the bed …
It had been more than nine months since he left the Duxian Gate. He could still stay outside for at most three to four years. Otherwise, his master and the executives of the sect would definitely go out to search.
During this period of time, he should find an island to continue his seclusion.
There were still many things that needed to be done. Right now, he had to think clearly and arrange his schedule properly.
There was naturally no need to mention healing and stabilizing his realm.
He had to think of a way to hide his immortal power and immortal body and simulate his original mortal Dao body.
Since he had chosen to conceal his cultivation as his trump card, he had to persevere on this path to the end. If he were to suddenly expose himself, he would definitely be suspected by the higher-ups of the Duxian Gate.
The development of the third version of the [Qi Calming Tortoise Breathing Mantra] had to be brought forward.
In addition, Li Changshou also had to face an awkward fact.
That was because after he had transcended the Heavenly Tribulation, his strength had taken a huge leap forward and he had obtained the legendary "ascension".
This was naturally a good thing, but a third of the methods he had used to defend against the enemy had completely lost their meaning, and a third of their effectiveness had been greatly reduced.
For example, the Soft Immortal Disperser and many poisonous pills were already a little useless.
When he was not strong enough, incapacitating agents and poisonous pills were powerful weapons to protect himself.
But now, the poison pill was no longer as effective as a slap from him …
Previously, he had refined so many poisonous pills to deal with Perfected Immortals. He could only seal them up and use them in specific environments in the future.
Or, he could go to the edge of the Middle Continent to find a town and exchange them for precious herbs.
The power of the bronze crossbow could be increased according to the user's Dharma powers and immortal power.
This offensive weapon that consumed very little immortal power could be kept. Later, he could use his immortal power to refine it and unleash its potential. He could then continue to give it to the paper effigies.
It was the same for the True Samadhi Flames. Its power increased with his strength. Later, he only needed to replenish his cultivation and condense the immortal fire.
He needed to comprehend the mystical ability of the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts again. In the future, the paper effigies would have more magical uses, and their power could not be compared to before.
The Five-Element Escape Technique could also enter a brand new realm.
He had to refine the sword array Dharma treasures again.
He could now create some powerful talismans that he wanted to draw previously but could not.
He could create some more powerful array formations with the Heavenly Treasure Umbrella …
Wait, wait, wait …
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had a lot of things to do. Three to four years might not be enough.
He should pick the most important ones first and improve the few escape techniques that he used the most.
There were priorities, and his life was the most important.
So what if he ascended? So what if he became an immortal?
Becoming an immortal turned him from an ant to a stronger ant.
Ascension gave the ant wings and it flew into the sky. However, it was only a flying ant, and the target was more eye-catching.
The Primordial World did not care about age. Countless years had passed. Even if the Great Tribulation continued to descend, there were still too many experts who survived.
There were the Heavenly Dao, the Dao Ancestor, and the Six Saints.
There were ancient mighty figures, the big shots of the three sects, the remnants of the Liches, the experts of the human race, and the reincarnations of various experts …
He could not even be considered a third-rate expert in the Primordial World. He was still far from it.
The main point was …
He was also very poor.
…
His immortal senses captured the noise in the village in the distance. The burly young girl was hugging the pile of gold and silver left behind by Li Changshou and squatting there, crying bitterly.
"I really didn't lose the immortal!
I didn't sell the immortal either! "
Seeing that she was squatting on the ground and crying like a two-hundred-pound child, the surrounding "iron towers" and "vajras" were still ruthlessly criticizing her …
"I asked you to take care of the Sea God. How could you lose such a huge Sea God?"
"Oh, do you have to run out and call for help?
Can't you just stand at the window and shout that the Sea God is awake, the Sea God is awake?
Why are you running around!?! "
"I already said that it's the Sea God, not an immortal!
Xiong Lingli, Xiong Lingli! Don't listen to your father's nonsense! It's not good to offend the Sea God!
Quick, send these gold and silver to my house! Otherwise, these mortals will offend the Sea God! "
Bear …
That surname was appropriate. It really had a bear's figure.
The group of adults scolded the young girl for a while and dispersed. They did not punish the young girl and began to search for their "Sea God" inside and outside the village.
Li Changshou continued to observe secretly.
There was something unusual about the village. That was also the only reason why Li Changshou stayed 50 kilometers away and did not leave directly.
There must be something wrong with things that were unusual. It was also possible that there were hidden treasures.
There were thousands of people in the village who relied on fishing, hunting, and farming for a living. Their lives were rather fulfilling. The weather was good here, and there were no natural disasters.
As for man-made disasters …
A few thousand regular troops from a mortal kingdom might not be able to take down the village, let alone those small groups of bandits and pirates.
However, most of the people in the village did not cultivate. They were all mortals, but they all had strong bodies like young girls. That was somewhat unreasonable.
First of all, their nutrition could not keep up.
Not to mention that the people here did not deliberately train their muscles …
Among the few possibilities that Li Changshou could think of, the most likely situation was that there was some special water vein or food ingredient here, and it was the kind that could fill one's stomach in large quantities.
Usually, such magical things that mortals did not care about were treasures used for alchemy, refining weapons, setting up formations, and cultivation.
In addition, there were no traces of foreign Qi Refinement cultivators here. The few Qi Refinement and Soul Formation cultivators in the village should have cultivated some kind of incomplete cultivation technique. That was not rare in the mortal world of the human race …
That made Li Changshou slightly interested. He decided to stay 50 kilometers away and observe for a while.
The group of warriors searched the village to no avail, so the bears moved out.
After searching for a long time with the entire Xiong Village, an old man shouted helplessly,
"The Sea God has returned to the sea!"
Thus, the villagers, most of whom had the surname Xiong, returned to the village and began a lively bonfire to send the Sea God back to the sea.
Li Changshou observed for three days. He also secretly checked the water source in the village and investigated the food that the villagers often used. He searched hundreds of kilometers around, but he did not find anything unusual.
Could it be that it was really his ancestral physique?
He did not want to stay here for too long. Since he could not find the reason for the abnormality, he decided to leave.
In the middle of the night, Li Changshou squeezed out of the trunk of the tree and transformed into a medium-sized fish. He threw himself into the warm seawater and searched for a place for his seclusion.
That place was the southwest of the South Continent, the territory of the South Ocean Dragon Palace.
However, because the South Ocean Dragon Palace was too far away from the land, it was not as active as the Donghai Dragon Palace. The sea was abnormally quiet and peaceful. Li Changshou quickly found a small deserted island and went into seclusion there.
Three months later.
Li Changshou's Dao injuries had completely recovered. The power of his Water Escape and Earth Escape had greatly increased. He had also cultivated the True Samadhi Flames again and condensed an immortal fire.
Five months later.
The immortal light around Li Changshou, who was sitting cross-legged in the reef cave, was completely restrained. His breathing was no longer clear, and his eyes were no longer aggressive. The fragrance on his body had also disappeared.
He stood up and looked down for a while. His aura was no longer fluctuating …
Walking to the side of the reef, Li Changshou stood quietly and observed the reactions of the living beings in the seawater.
Previously, because of the existence of the immortal's pressure, the fish and shrimps in the sea would hide.
Now that he was standing there, the fish and shrimps in the sea would be disturbed and play normally …
After thinking about it, Li Changshou first simulated the aura of the seventh stage of the Void Return realm. Then, he hid that portion of his aura and revealed the aura of the third stage of the Void Return realm.
The third version of the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra had reached greater mastery.
When I go back, I'll pass the second version to Ling'e.
Li Changshou was in a good mood after exhaling gently. He did not want to waste any more time and wanted to return to the cave where he was hiding to continue cultivating.
Just as he was about to turn around, a ray of seven-colored treasure light suddenly appeared in the northern sky.
Li Changshou immediately scanned with his immortal senses and realized that the source of the treasure light was Xiong Lingli's village …
There are indeed good things in that village!
However, with such a huge commotion, it was very likely that it would attract the attention of other Qi Refinement cultivators. If he rashly went over, he might easily fall into danger.
After some deliberation, Li Changshou took out a paper effigy from his sleeve and blew at it.
The paper effigy trembled a few times and slowly came to life. It stretched its small arms and legs and jumped up from Li Changshou's hand, landing on the surface of the sea.
The paper effigy took two steps on the seawater. With a bang, it transformed into the figure of a middle-aged Daoist priest. It caught the three treasure pouches that Li Changshou had thrown over, turned around, and disappeared into the seawater.
Li Changshou returned to the cave and closed his eyes to focus. He placed his attention on the paper effigy avatar.
He was very relaxed.
If he could pick up the treasures, he would do so. If he had to do more than "pick up", he would let the paper effigy withdraw.
After all, as his realm increased, the higher the level of the paper effigy, the more effort it would take to create it.
This was the mortal world. It was unlikely that there would be any powerful Dharma treasures.
…
At the junction of the South Ocean and the East Ocean, in the corner of the island that looked like a big turtle.
"Fellow Daoists, I really didn't lie.
On the way back last time, I met a person who had survived the Nine Heavens Godfiend Tribulation. I said that he wouldn't be able to survive it, but I didn't expect him to!
After this person transcended the tribulation, he was even struck by the Heavenly Punishment. I felt that he definitely couldn't make it, but …
Fellow Daoists, what do you think? "
Beside the Treasure Pool, an old Daoist was chatting with a dozen or so Qi Practitioners who were of similar cultivation level, and they were talking animatedly.
In the corner of the Treasure Pool, Ao Yi had returned to his original form, the Azure Dragon, and was entrenched at the bottom of the pool, motionless …
The Primordial World was really too terrifying.
The nightmare had yet to subside, but this time, Ao Yi took the initiative to ask the Dragon Mother to send him back to the territory of the immortals of Jie School.
That was because Ao Yi knew that there were some humans in Jie School. He could observe them and learn from them what the Dragons lacked.
Especially their cunning and scheming.
The topic of the Qi Refinement cultivators at the side of the pool had unknowingly changed to the Little Dragon at the bottom of the pool.
Someone sighed and said, "There are already restrictions at the bottom of the pool.
I don't know what's wrong with our Golden Ao Island that this Dragon Prince actually wants to escape. "
"It's not strange that a child doesn't want to listen to the elders."
Lao Dao, who had just told the interesting story of the Tribulation Transcendence, smiled and stroked his beard. "Don't worry, as long as we treat this Dragon Prince well, he will definitely appreciate it and cultivate in peace here."
The Qi Refinement cultivators nodded.
Ao Yi, who was in the pool, moved his dragon head and ignored him.
