Chapter 463 Life Transformation Plus One

　　The Jade Emperor’s incarnation, Qin Tianzhu, was now very… square. It was the first time Qin Tianzhu had seen Li Changshou discussing how to kill and defend against other experts. Moreover, it was a method that he had never come into contact with before.

　　Poisonous pills.

　　The Jade Emperor actually did not have much of an impression of poisonous pills. After all, he was born in the Purple Cloud Palace and was a Connate lifeform. Before he went out to wander, he was chosen to be the Heavenly Emperor.

　　Previously, his understanding of poisonous pills was only at the stage of “poisonous pills are a branch of the Dao of alchemy, and poisons are the characteristics of pills”.

　　The poison expert that the Jade Emperor had come into contact with was naturally the Nine Dragons Island’s Lu Yue. The poisonous pill that Lu Yue had just refined was definitely the only one in the Primordial World!

　　When Lu Yue introduced the method of poisoning, he said, “It’s probably to release the poisonous pills and use immortal power to activate them, or to turn them into poisonous powder and poisonous fog in advance. During the battle, we will wait for the enemy to intersect and send the poisonous pills out.”

　　Qin Tianzhu secretly expressed that this method of poisoning did not exceed his imagination.

　　However, Li Changshou frowned and commented, “Senior Brother, using poison like this actually wastes the greatest advantage of using poisonous pills to kill enemies-catching them off guard. Senior Brother looked at it. It looked like a horsetail whisk, but under the silver threads of the horsetail whisk were thin needles that had been tempered with poison. When activated with immortal power, it could injure enemies silently. Look at this thing. It looks like a lantern. When you activate this Dharma treasure, the lantern will light up. In fact, it secretly emits wisps of incense…”

　　Qin Tianzhu frowned and could not help but wonder why his Water God was studying that.

　　Lu Yue took a deep breath and picked up the unique Dharma artifact to study it carefully. He said in a low voice, “Although this is a good treasure, the poisonous pills that need to be refined can be colorless and odorless.”

　　Li Changshou continued, “Actually, it’s very difficult for the pills to be truly colorless, odorless, invisible, and traceless. Many poisonous pills have to pursue peak lethality, so we can’t take care of everything else.”

　　“That’s right!”

　　Lu Yue’s eyes lit up as he said happily, “This sentence is enough to determine that Junior Brother is really an expert in this Dao! Then, how should we place the poisonous pills? Senior Brother has never thought about this matter. Please enlighten me.”

　　Li Changshou smiled and said, “Didn’t we agree to discuss everything together? If I did not trust you, I would not have dared to take these out. It is not an exaggeration to say that your poisonous pills are unparalleled. There are also a few ways to throw poison in one’s face. The foundation is the technique of refining pills and the subsequent treatment of pills. The first strategy is to divert the enemy’s attention when fighting the enemy and then skillfully release the poison. Senior Brother, look at my sword. It’s just an ordinary immortal treasure. When it’s activated, it will emit a dazzling golden light. The golden light can be mixed with most of the poisonous powder…”

　　Lu Yue took the sword from Li Changshou and played with it lovingly.

　　“It’s really not bad…”

　　Qin Tianzhu could not help but turn his head away. He could not bear to look at her.

　　Li Changshou continued, “The second idea is to use array formations to throw poisonous pills. Senior Brother, please take a look. This is a miniature array formation that I have refined. It can only be used once. The array formation has two effects. It can temporarily trap and kill enemies with poisonous fog. The advantage is that it can be used quickly and cover a large area. It can kill many enemies.” Lu Yue was overjoyed. He held the miniature array formation that was the size of a chessboard and praised, “Impressive, impressive! This design is comparable to three pill formulas!”

　　Li Changshou spoke slowly and continued to explain the use of the Dao of Poison. From the activation of immortal power, the activation of Dharma artifacts, and the activation of array formations, he talked about the basic usage of tactics such as creating something from nothing, making a diversion, and deceiving others.

　　Lu Yue listened very seriously. At that moment, he felt that the evil aura in his essence soul had been purified…

　　To be honest, he was not very popular in Jie School. At that moment, he felt a suppressed emotion surging in his heart.

　　The rarest thing about making friends was recognition and appreciation.

　　Qin Tianzhu could not help but ask, “The Water God has such a deep understanding of poisonous pills. Why don’t I see the Water God? Previously, he used poisonous pills to deal with powerful enemies.”

　　“General Qin, you might not know.”

　　Li Changshou sighed and said, “My cultivation days are shallow. My attainments in poisonous pills have yet to break through. I can’t refine Golden Immortal Poison Pills. After working for the Heavenly Courts, the Grand Pure One would give me treasures to protect myself every time I take action. The poisonous pills are useless to me, so I used them as an incarnation to protect myself.”

　　Lu Yue was a Qi Refinement cultivator of Nine Dragons Island. He was very polite.

　　After hearing Li Changshou’s poisons, Lu Yue could not help but feel a little impatient.

　　At that moment, after hearing Li Changshou’s words, Lu Yue immediately took out a thumb ring and stuffed the six Golden Immortal Poison Pills’ pill formulas, some precious herbs, and two Poison Sutras that recorded his experience in refining poison into Li Changshou’s hands.

　　The gift was really too generous. Li Changshou did not even dare to accept it. The karma was not small.

　　However, he really wanted it.

　　Lu Yue smiled and said, “Changgeng, if you refuse, you will be looking down on me. Since you can tell me so many ways to poison, why can’t I give you a way to refine poisonous pills? No matter how strong the poisonous pills are, they will be dodged by the other party. Wouldn’t that be useless?”

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

　　In fact, he did not even use his trump card regarding poisoning.

　　Moreover, he was only talking about a general method. If he really wanted to operate it, just the process of turning the poisonous pill into a poisonous fog would have many details.

　　Li Changshou thought about it and took the ring. He cupped his hands at Lu Yue and said, “Thank you, Senior Brother!”

　　“That’s more satisfying!”

　　Lu Yue smiled and squinted.

　　“However, Changgeng, although poisonous pills are powerful, they cannot be used recklessly.

　　It’s just like a sword. If it was used to kill and get rid of evil, the weapon of demons would be a good sword. If it is used to kill the innocent, the peerless immortal sword would only be an evil weapon and a demonic blade.

　　At the end of the day, it’s still people like us who use poison to endure karma. Don’t cause negative karma easily.”

　　Li Changshou stood up and bowed with a Dao salute. He said, “I will remember Senior Brother’s teachings today!” “Come,” Lu Yue called out. “Let’s think about it again. Do you have any more ideas about poisoning…”

　　Li Changshou smiled and took out a paper effigy. “Senior Brother, do you know the method to transform paper effigies?”

　　“Who doesn’t know about the Primordial World?”

　　Lu Yue looked at the paper effigy and pondered for a while. His eyes lit up. “If I transform the paper effigy into a toxic poison and explode in the enemy’s midst!”

　　“This is just one of them…”

　　Li Changshou chuckled and continued to chat with Lu Yue.

　　“Among the two immortals, one of them is the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. He had gradually become famous in the Primordial World because of his good schemes. He always has new tricks, ahem, and is always scheming.”

　　One of them was a disciple of the Saint of Jie School. Although his reputation was not as good as the eight disciples of Jie School and the seven immortals, his ability to refine poisonous pills had been tested by the Jade Emperor’s incarnation. He was indeed the only expert.

　　The two of them gathered together and the more they chatted, the more passionate they became. It seemed like they were going to become sworn brothers today…

　　Qin Tianzhu quietly lifted his wooden chair and sat opposite the two of them to observe.

　　He could actually sense that the two of them were destined to be best friends. At that moment, they had already formed a complementary and mutually beneficial relationship.

　　How far would this go?

　　Qin Tianzhu seemed to have seen an abyss gradually opening behind the two of them. When they turned around to look at the abyss, two legs extended from the abyss…

　　He ran away.

　　Before they realized, another four hours passed.

　　Qin Tianzhu silently picked up food and poured wine for himself, comforting himself not to look at the side.

　　Li Changshou and Lu Yue were squatting in a corner. They were guarding a five-feet-tall Pill Furnace and discussing the “Shadowless Transformations of the poisonous pills.

　　The two of them did not give in to each other, but they would put their arms around each other from time to time. They were quite intimate.

　　Qin Tianzhu sighed in his heart…

　　What did he hear in the past four hours?

　　The Cosmic Movement technique combined with the self-explosion of the paper effigies and used that to spread the toxicity as quickly as possible…

　　That was just the basics.

　　What shocked Qin Tianzhu the most was the mystical ability that Li Changshou had developed to the extreme, “Cast Beans for Soldiers”. There were actually two ultimate profundities!

　　Firstly, it was the path of the Poison Immortal Bean. Secondly, it was the transformation of the pill into a bean. He directly treated the Golden Immortal Poison Pill as a bean and turned it into a poisonous soldier… Moreover, Li Changshou had already verified those two ideas. His technique had long matured!

　　Qin Tianzhu was still thinking about the conversation an hour ago.

　　At that time, Lu Yue launched a soul interrogation. “Changgeng, why didn’t you use such methods in the battle against the demons?”

　　Li Changshou smiled and said, “This is the Dao of being an official of the Heavenly Courts. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals can’t be used as decorations. If I take all the credit, what will the generals and marshals think? Moreover, I’m a civil servant. I can’t go to the frontline to fight every day. I have to nurture a group of generals to share the burden of the Jade Emperor.”

　　At that moment, the mentality of a certain Jade Emperor incarnation changed slightly.

　　was

　　There was a saying in the Primordial World that one should not practice fake moves.

　　Li Changshou and Lu Yue were chatting happily. Lu Yue’s hands were already itching. He wanted to find a few Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals to spar and try his new methods.

　　However, Li Changshou said, “Senior Brother, don’t be anxious. There should be people from the Western Sect coming to the World Edge Pavilion to pressure us later. At that time, we will find those with negative karma and kill them instantly to intimidate them.”

　　“Alright, we can’t let the World Edge Pavilion be damaged!”

　　Lu Yue said seriously. “Senior Brother, don’t worry. If the Western Sect forces us and is arrogant, we will turn the world upside down.”

　　“Sure!”

　　Lu Yue raised his right hand in front of him. Li Changshou understood and clasped his hands with Lu Yue. Then, they looked at each other and smiled. Their heroic spirits… dissipated halfway. Li Changshou replied solemnly, “Senior Brother, we can’t just face the enemy head-on. To be safe, we have to make some preparations.” “Oh?”

　　Lu Yue was puzzled. “Why do you say that?”

　　Li Changshou explained, “The battle between the sects is complicated. Now, the three sects Jie School, Chan School, and the Western Sect are about to face the tribulation. If Senior Brother were to attack directly, it would be equivalent to the two parties falling out. Let’s disguise ourselves and use an alias. Even if they recognize us, as long as we don’t make any mistakes in our speech, we can insist that someone is framing us and is deliberately trying to sow discord!”

　　“Amazing!”

　　Lu Yue’s eyes lit up. “I’ll do as you say, Changgeng. But how can I disguise myself?”

　　“First, apply some cosmetics on your face and change your makeup. It would be best if you have a thin mask. Then, use Transformation and Disguise. That will barely work.”

　　“Where can I find such a thin mask?”

　　“I brought them.” Li Changshou took out a few treasure pouches from his sleeve. “You brought… a paper effigy incarnation. Who in the world doesn’t know that? Why did you bring this?”

　　Lu Yue was caught between laughter and tears.

　　“It’s all necessary to go out.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior Brother, please take a look.”

　　After saying that, Li Changshou took out a thick paper effigy from his sleeve. The paper effigy was surrounded by immortal light and turned into a middle-aged Daoist. He put the “Li Changshou” beside him into his sleeve.

　　A Golden pill slowly rotated. Immortal light surged out of the paper effigy’s body. A few drops of spiritual beast essence blood were scattered everywhere. The paper effigy actually emitted a feeling of flesh and blood.

　　Even Lu Yue and Qin Tianzhu could not tell if it was a living person or a paper effigy. Li Changshou smiled and said, “I deliberately revealed my whereabouts previously just to show the attitude of the Heavenly Courts. Otherwise, how could Matriarch Bian talk to us directly?”

　　As he spoke, Li Changshou took out two masks from his treasure pouch and put them on together with Lu Yue. They used their spells and changed their auras. Then, they exchanged poisonous pills and poisonous Dharma artifacts.

　　Lu Yue smiled and said, “Why don’t you and I give each other a more resounding name, such as the Double Demons?”

　　Li Changshou thought for a while and said, “We can’t call out the poison directly if we use poison. Why don’t we carry a sword on our backs and call ourselves swordsmen?”

　　“Sure!”

　　Lu Yue immediately found two Postnatal numinous treasures and carried them on his back.

　　Lu Yue said, “Why don’t we call it the Heaven-Splitting Twin Swords? Isn’t that a domineering name!?!”

　　Qin Tianzhu, who was drinking, turned around and spat.

　　Li Changshou hurriedly said, “I’m working for the Heavenly Courts. Why should we go against the heavens? Why don’t we call it the Wind Waves Dual Swords!”

　　Qin Tianzhu could not help but say, “Why don’t you call it ‘harming the harmony of the world’?”

　　“Huh? Hahaha!”

　　Lu Yue clapped and laughed. “That’s not bad. It suits the occasion! Let’s call it that. It’s also a reminder to each other. If we use poison to kill the innocent, it will harm the harmony of the world.”

　　“That’s right.” Li Changshou cupped his hands at Qin Tianzhu and smiled. “Thank you for naming me, General Qin.” The corners of Qin Tianzhu’s mouth twitched a few times. He could only wave his hand and sit there in a daze. He did not know what to say.

　　Li Changshou continued, “Senior Brother, if the Western Sect sends a large number of experts to pressure the World Edge Pavilion, they will definitely cause a huge commotion. Before I came, I observed the layout of the Small World. The three array formations are stronger, and the front array formations are weaker. The other party will definitely use pressure as the goal and will most likely gather outside the array formation. Why don’t we set up an ambush in advance? At that time, we only need to silently kill the experts above the Golden Immortal realm. The World Edge Pavilion would be in danger, and the other party would be afraid. Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will divert the other party’s attention from the World Edge Pavilion later. To the Heavenly Courts, the most precious thing about the World Edge Pavilion is the intelligence it has accumulated over many years. It can allow the Heavenly Courts to quickly integrate the three thousand worlds.”

　　“Do as Changgeng says!”

　　Lu Yue nodded. His eyes were filled with emotions.

　　When the Jade Emperor’s incarnation, Qin Tianzhu, saw that, he could not help but fall into deep thought.

　　Did Lu Yue’s condition often appear on him, the Heavenly Emperor?

　　It was worth thinking about…

　　At that moment, Li Changshou’s Golden Immortal paper effigy brought Lu Yue and secretly escaped outside the Small World. He found a hidden spot and used the Mustard Seed Cosmic Technique to hide.

　　Li Changshou had already decided to trick Lu Yue, the big shot who used poison, into his hands…

　　When the two of them were hiding, they were also exchanging tips for poisons and dispersing poisons. If Elder Wan Linyun is here, the atmosphere might be even more lively.

　　Li Changshou could not help but feel emotional.

　　On the other side, Li Changshou left the paper effigy in the Phoenix Gathering Pavilion and waited for the reply from the World Edge Pavilion with Qin Tianzhu.

　　Half a day later, Bian Zhuang rushed over and asked Li Changshou and Qin Tianzhu to go to the hall that they had gone to previously to discuss with the old women from the World Edge Pavilion.

　　Li Changshou naturally would not reject it. He had already expected such a situation.

　　He had to show the sincerity of the Heavenly Courts and the support of the Dao Sect. He had to make the World Edge Pavilion feel safe enough before he could obtain the full support of the World Edge Pavilion.

　　Then, using the connections of the World Edge Pavilion as a springboard, he quickly gathered all the forces and roped in those forces that had already been threatened by the Western Sect…

　　An anti-Western Immortal Dao Union could cause a commotion in twenty to thirty years!

　　That way, he could buy more time for the Heaven Ascension Hall and a more stable environment…

　　In the remote hall of the World Edge Mystic Realm, Li Changshou identified more than ten people in front of the Jade Emperor. He set off from the incident between the Western Sect and the demons. He talked about the urgency of the Western Sect to prosper. He also talked about how the Western Sect could not obtain the dragon race, how they destroyed the Sea Eye in anger, and how they forcefully seized the dragon race’s treasure vault…

　　Every sentence was the truth and was convincing.

　　Then, Li Changshou deliberately explained the schemes of the Western Sect in front of the Jade Emperor’s incarnation, as well as the fact that the Western Sect was in a terrible situation in the five continents. He could only increase the pressure on the Trichiliocosm…

　　The list goes on.

　　The debate lasted for half a day. In the end, the dozen old women were convinced by Li Changshou.

　　Li Changshou secretly reminded Old Madam Bian that there seemed to be something wrong with two to three old women’s previous opinions, which made her pay more attention.

　　Qin Tianzhu, who was at the side, could be considered to have watched a ‘big show’. He pondered from time to time and could not help but nod. He was almost convinced by Li Changshou that the Heavenly Courts would definitely win and could easily sweep everything away… The Water God’s mouth could match half of the Heavenly Courts’ combat strength. In front of Li Changshou, Old Madam Bian personally wrote a reply letter and sent it to the faction that had previously threatened the World Edge Pavilion…

　　The other party decisively began to gather the experts and sent another message to the World Edge Pavilion’s jade token. He said that he would personally visit in three days. At that time, he would definitely make the World Edge Pavilion give a different answer!

　　In the dead of the night, Bian Zhuang had just delivered the jade token that the other party had given him…

　　Bang!

　　The Jade Emperor’s incarnation, Qin Tianzhu, slammed the table and gritted his teeth.

　　“Do these people really not take our Heavenly Courts seriously? They know that you are here, Water God, but they still threaten you!”

　　Li Changshou said warmly, “The Western Sect actually has to do that. They have been managing the Trichiliocosm for so long. This place is like their home ground. If they can easily stabilize our position, we might as well just surrender.”

　　Bian Zhuang also said, “Water God, should we deploy troops from the Heavenly Courts?”

　　“There’s no hurry.” Li Changshou shook his head calmly. “There will be a way to break out of this situation later. Let your grandmother rest assured that there’s no need for the World Edge Pavilion to send any troops. The worst case scenario is just a stalling tactic. I will reveal my identity.” Bian Zhuang nodded and was not worried at all. He turned around and rushed to report to his grandmother…

　　After Bian Zhuang left, Li Changshou looked at Qin Tianzhu, who was still angry, and sent a voice transmission.

　　“Your Majesty, I feel that you have changed a lot this time.”

　　As expected, Qin Tianzhu’s attention was diverted. He smiled and said, “Oh? What changed?”

　　“He’s more composed.” Li Changshou continued to transmit his voice. “Previously, Bian Zhuang and Senior Brother Lu Yue had offended him with their words. His Majesty did not seem to be angry.”

　　“I thought it was something.” Qin Tianzhu shook his head disapprovingly. “After experiencing the mortal world, I understand a lot. When I was the Jade Emperor, they revered the Heavenly Dao behind me and the Dao Ancestor. When I was Qin Tianzhu, I was just an ordinary general of the Heavenly Courts. They did not know the truth. How is that considered an offense?”

　　Li Changshou nodded with a smile.

　　“Changgeng, don’t hold back in three days. Just do it.”

　　Qin Tianzhu’s eyes were cold. “I will attack in the Lingxiao Hall and make sure that you and Lu Yue will not cause any negative karma when you kill the living beings of the enemy. I want to see how far they can go without the Heavenly Courts! Since he had chosen to become enemies with the Heavenly Courts, he did not care if he had merit or negative karma. I have allowed you to use poison this time. At times, you will use extreme methods. If you don’t scare these thieves in time, you will only cause more trouble! If any faction is loyal to the Heavenly Courts and is bullied by them, there is no need for me to be the Heavenly Emperor!”

　　“I will follow your orders. I will not show mercy this time! Your Majesty, don’t worry. I have already mobilized more incarnations to come here. We will use the escape technique to travel. We will arrive here in two days!”

　　Qin Tianzhu nodded slowly and closed his eyes to think. He should have shifted his attention back to the Jade Emperor’s main body.

　　Hence, three days later.’
