Is the Celestial Court so rich now?
In the secret chamber of the Xiao Qiong Mount, Li Changshou looked at the pile of superior-grade Spirit Stones that were emitting a dense spiritual light in the compensation ring that the Moon God had given him …
"It's different, we're different …"
Li Changshou shook his head and sighed.
This pile of Spirit Stones could be used to buy a large number of precious materials from the town outside the Immortal Sect. He could then condense a stronger array foundation and strengthen the Xiao Qiong Mount array formation.
Li Changshou's previous plan to update the array formation could be completed by one-third!
However, such a direct cost was not reasonable.
He could use this pile of superior-grade Spirit Stones as his first start-up capital.
He could buy herbs in the town and use them to make pills. Then, he could exchange the pills for precious materials and sell them for Spirit Stones. That way, he could continuously generate profits!
There would be no middlemen to earn the difference!
Li Changshou frowned and pondered …
It was too dangerous for his main body to go out and do these things. Countless people had lost their lives for some Spirit Stones and treasures. He had to weigh the pros and cons.
However, if the paper effigies could complete these dangerous tasks, it would be different …
Wouldn't it be equivalent to earning money with zero risk?
If that was the case, he could do two things at the same time …
He could let his master obtain the Immortal Pill List from the Hundred Mortal Hall and accumulate herbs.
He could use the paper effigies to collect herbs and sell pills through the town outside the door …
It should not be a problem for him to earn more than ten immortal treasures in fifty years!
In just seventy to eighty years, the Compound Defense System of the Xiao Qiong Mount that he had planned would be able to fill up most of the gaps!
That way, not only would he be able to solve the problem of money, but he would also be able to nourish his master and junior sister …
The problem was, how could he get the paper effigies to go to the town?
It was actually quite troublesome for young disciples to go out.
However, his master was not restricted by the sect rules. He had already become an immortal. He could find a reason to go out.
Turbid Immortals were also immortals.
He could let his master bring his paper effigies out of the mountain-protecting array formation. The paper effigies could then leave and rush to the town to trade …
That would be the first step.
Then, there was the key difficulty — the limitations of the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts.
Although the gate of the Duxian Gate was closer to the famous town of Dongsheng Divine Land, Linhai Town, which was only about 20,000 miles away …
However, the furthest Li Changshou could control the paper effigies was only 500 kilometers away.
The current Man-Forming Paper Cutouts, or rather, the original Man-Forming Paper Cutouts, couldn't allow the paper men to reach the nearest town square.
The Primordial World was really too big …
It was impossible to imagine how vast the boundless Untainted Land was when the Primordial Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, and the other races flourished!
Back to business.
Li Changshou sat there and pondered for half a day. He made a detailed calculation, planning, and risk assessment of the pill business. Finally, he made up his mind.
Two-pronged approach, hard work to get rich!
Change divine abilities!
If an immortal wishes to do a good job, he must first use the right method.
After he finished comprehending the Wind Escape Technique and Fire Escape Technique, he would focus on modifying the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts!
If he wanted his main body to not move in the mountain, the paper effigies would have to go to the town outside the sect to trade. The Man-Forming Paper Cutouts had to be modified.
Furthermore, it had to be an extraordinary modification!
The principle of the original Man-Forming Paper Cutouts was to store one's Dharma powers and immortal power in the paper effigies.
The paper effigies transforming into human forms was actually similar to an illusion. Due to the special material of the paper effigies, they carried the aura of living beings, so they could be mistaken for the real thing.
After Li Changshou became an immortal, the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts' mystical abilities were perfected. Within the range of his immortal senses, he could entrust a portion of his attention to the paper effigies.
Now, when Li Changshou did not control the paper effigies, the paper effigies would also be like living creatures. They could complete the simple instructions of the user of the mystical abilities.
For example, sweeping the floor, weeding, massaging, dancing, simple fighting, and some indescribable functions.
However, what Li Changshou needed now was not those effects.
He wanted to modify the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts to the cheapest and lowest threshold …
Incarnation!
It was equivalent to creating some "paper bodies" that could be replaced at any time. He would store a portion of immortal power in them, and his mind would enter them and switch them at will.
As long as the paper effigy incarnation could unleash 10% or 0.5% of his strength, it would be enough.
"In order to do that, I will definitely have to use the restrictions of refining Dharma treasures …"
Li Changshou pondered for a while. This time, he was rather fast. Soon, he finalized his cultivation plan for the next ten years.
He would learn to refine artifacts and create mystical abilities!
If he did not know, he would learn. If he did not understand, he would watch.
Now that he had enough lifespan, it was time for him to start refining artifacts.
"I'll prioritize studying the restrictions that I can entrust my mind to."
Then, he looked back at the ring …
There was nothing more to say. He had to thank the Moon God for his strong support for the construction of the Xiao Qiong Mount!
Apart from high-quality immortal stones, Li Changshou also saw a pile of porcelain bottles and gourds. They were all filled with pills.
Moreover, they were all pills with similar effects to the Poisonous Dragon Wine …
He could only say that as expected of Yue Lao, even the medicinal pills he gave were so unique.
Li Changshou wanted to burn the pills with the True Samadhi Flames, but he hesitated.
It would be too wasteful.
Those were all immortal pills refined by the Moon God. They were the gospel for many male Qi Refinement cultivators!
They would save their marriage and have a happy Dao companion.
They would be able to use both immortals and mortals.
He took out some empty porcelain bottles and sorted out the pills. Then, he burned the porcelain bottles of the Moon God and refined the aura of the Moon God.
"I'll keep it as a gift in the future or use it to barter …"
If this thing was popular, he could try to reverse analyze the pill formula and figure out the refining method. He could mass-produce it and sell it!
"Tsk, it's not good to be obsessed with money.
Wealth is only for better cultivation. The Dao is the foundation of Qi Refinement cultivators. "
After lecturing himself, Li Changshou could not help but laugh.
He transferred all the items in the Dharma treasure ring to his three main storage Dharma treasures and sealed the ring …
After carefully recalling his conversation with the Moon God a few times and confirming that there were no mistakes in his expression or words, he put the matter aside for the time being.
There was still some time before he went to the Celestial Court. His master had yet to reach the Perfected Immortal realm. There was no need to rush these matters.
After doing that, Li Changshou quietly left the secret underground chamber and rode a cloud out of the Xiao Qiong Mount.
…
The Dao Repository was located halfway up the mountain behind the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Li Changshou's return did not attract anyone's attention.
Even the elders who were meditating in the outer hall all year round could not be bothered to open their eyes to look at him.
After that, Li Changshou began to study the new domain of cultivation in the Pill Chamber.
"I wonder when Little Aunt-Master will come out of seclusion."
In the outer hall of the Dao Repository, the refinement restrictions that could be found were more basic.
It would be best if he could get Little Aunt-Master to go to the inner hall and help him memorize some high-level restrictions that were made public to the Perfected Immortals in the sect.
The sect did not prohibit Perfected Immortals from teaching those to their disciples who had yet to become immortals.
Li Changshou tapped his fingers on the table and pondered carefully. Then, he thought of an elder in the sect.
Elder Wan Linyun.
The Thousand Poison Golden Furnace that he was using now was refined by Elder Wan Linyun himself. Naturally, he could ask the elder for advice on refining artifacts.
However, he had already obtained too many benefits from the elder. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he would still feel a little embarrassed …
"If it really doesn't work, I'll ask him about the restrictions on the Dharma treasures."
Li Changshou sighed softly.
It was really not a good thing to owe this elder more and more favors. In the future, he would have to think of a way to repay him.
After staying in the Pill Chamber for half a day, he went to the secret chamber.
He took out a few paper effigies and casually scattered them on the table. The paper effigies immediately seemed to come to life. After standing on the table, they began …
They jumped, jumped, fought, and danced with their backs arched.
Li Changshou focused and carefully experienced it. Soon, he began to comprehend it …
Not long after, he took out a carving knife and bamboo slips and began to take notes on the first study of the advancement of the paper effigy incarnation.
The innovation of mystical abilities lay in continuous experimentation.
If he wanted to complete the magical modification of the mystical abilities, he had to be bold and enterprising, expand his thinking, be careful, and be steady. He had to combine theory with practice …
Hence, six years later.
…
A few white clouds slowly floated across the blue sky.
In front of the Duxian Gate, Qiyuan Laodao, who was dressed in a brown Daoist robe, held a horsetail whisk and told the immortals guarding the gate about his trip.
"Junior Brother Qi Yuan, how many days are you going to be out?"
"I'll return in about three days. I had some inspiration by chance, so I went out to take a look."
"Alright." The immortal guarding the gate did not ask further. He opened a gap in the mountain-protecting array formation and allowed Qi Yuan to go out on his own.
Qi Yuan thanked him and rode a cloud out of the mountain-protecting array formation, heading in the direction of the East Ocean.
After flying for about 500 kilometers, Qi Yuan heard a voice transmission.
"Master, find a secret place to put the box. Just go to the spirit mine and wait. You don't have to go too far from the sect.
I will return in three days. You can take the box back with you. "
"Ah, okay," Qi Yuan replied and asked softly into his sleeve, "What else do I need to do?"
Li Changshou continued to send a voice transmission.
"Master, don't worry. I'm just going to the town to sell some pills and buy some herbs. That way, I can earn some Spirit Stones and precious materials."
Qi Yuan sighed in his heart. There was a hint of guilt in his eyes, but he followed his disciple's instructions and flew to a forest.
He found a deserted place and placed a fist-sized, square-shaped sandalwood box in the grass under a tree without anyone noticing.
After doing that, Qiyuan Laodao pretended to stroll around and admire the scenery. A wisp of immortal senses was also observing the box.
A moment later, a gap opened in the box. A diamond-shaped gem the size of a fingernail popped out and swayed around.
The gem flickered gently.
Li Changshou's voice transmission entered Qiyuan Laodao's ears again.
"Master, retract your immortal senses first."
"Alright, alright." Qi Yuan retracted his immortal senses, but he was puzzled.
Immediately, the diamond-shaped gem outside the box stopped flickering.
A "reed pole" that looked like a periscope popped out and looked around.
Then, the lid of the box was gently pushed open, and a light yellow paper effigy jumped out.
The paper effigy was several times thicker than ordinary paper effigies. It was also slightly bigger, and there was a small cloth bag on its shoulder.
It placed its hands on its waist and swayed back and forth. Wisps of light surrounded it.
In the blink of an eye, the paper effigy turned into a thin Daoist who was eight feet tall. He was dressed in a green Daoist robe, and his long hair was tied up casually. He carried a long sword on his back.
The paper effigy's aura fluctuated slightly. After stabilizing at the Essence Immortal realm, it quickly lowered to the Dao Requital realm and concealed itself.
The paper effigy's gaze shifted slightly. There was a hint of spiritual light in it, and it was no different from a living person.
He took out a mirror and looked at it. The paper effigy muttered, "I still look a little like me."
He shook his head and put away the square box on the ground. He formed a seal with both hands and disappeared into the ground in the blink of an eye …
That was the result of Li Changshou's six years of research!
Mystical ability, improved version, Man-Forming Paper Cutouts!
That paper effigy could already be considered an incarnation in a practical sense.
However, because Li Changshou had used many tricks, the incarnation was actually just an empty shell.
Apart from that, there were many imperfections in Paper Effigy No. 1.
For example, Li Changshou had no choice but to place a portion of the power of his essence soul in it. If his avatar was killed, his essence soul would also be slightly injured.
That had to be constantly improved.
In order to prevent the paper effigy's avatar from being killed, Li Changshou had put in a lot of effort.
For example, the sword on the paper effigy's back looked like a sword, but it was actually a Dharma artifact that was mixed with poison and incapacitating agents …
Originally, Li Changshou did not have the intention to test the combat power of Avatar No. 1 on this trip.
However, the human heart was sinister. He encountered the matter of revealing his wealth and attracting trouble the first time he went out.
After leaving the vicinity of the Duxian Gate, he used the Earth Escape technique for half a day and rushed to the famous Linhai Town in the East Continent.
To be safe, he sold many pills that he had refined in small batches at different locations and shops that collected pills under different disguises. He also discovered a few shops in the Duxian Gate …
Then, he used the Spirit Stones that he had exchanged and a portion of the Immortal Stones to buy a large number of spiritual herbs, poisonous herbs, precious materials, and young spiritual beasts in the same way.
Not counting the first bucket of gold, the profit from the pills this time was about 60% of the cost. That was already quite good.
In order to deceive others, he even set up a stall there for half a day. He placed the Dharma artifacts that he had practiced refining and some pills of good quality.
The price was moderate and he managed to sell some Spirit Stones.
However, even though he had been so careful, Li Changshou realized that his paper effigy avatar had still been targeted …
There was still half a day before the three-day deadline. Li Changshou quietly left the "town" that was comparable to the capital of a large country in the mortal world. He rode a cloud and flew towards the forest where he could use the Earth Escape technique.
However, a few figures followed him out of Linhai Town. They hid their cultivation levels and followed him quietly …
Look, this is the Primordial World.
Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart and flew even faster on the cloud.
The sleeves of the sword cultivator that the avatar had transformed into were filled with paper effigies that were holding small swords and porcelain bottles. They were rubbing their palms and waiting to attack.
