Chapter 234 Causing Changshou’s Hair Loss

　　During his life in the Primordial World, Li Changshou’s first Postnatal-level treasure was a nameless pagoda given to him by Senior Yun Zhongzi for the sake of the Great Daoist Master. Li Changshou used it to protect himself.

　　However, the first Postnatal Merit numinous treasure in his life was actually… the Acacia Treasure Tree that was moved out of the Heavenly Courts’ Marriage Affinity Hall!

　　He was just about to stop being a matchmaker when he was given the reward from the Jade Emperor. Who could he reason with?

　　In a small secret chamber under the Sea God Temple, Li Changshou’s paper Daoist carried the potted plant and remained seated, not knowing whether to laugh or cry…

　　When he did not graduate from university in his previous life, he encountered a fortune-teller who looked like a swindler. The latter took out his phone and used a fortune-telling app to make a divination. He said that there would be a day when Li Changshou would wear a red wedding robe.

　　In order to break his superstitious thoughts, Li Changshou had prepared a custom-made black tuxedo in his previous life!

　　However, he did not use it in the end.

　　He did not expect that the day would come. However, he was not the groom, but… the little Elder Moon.

　　Tsk, that’s interesting.

　　Li Changshou looked at the Acacia Tree and hesitated.

　　That item could not be directly used by his main body. It would not be of much use either.

　　Could it be that when he was fighting against his enemies, he would have to sacrifice the Acacia Treasure Tree and activate one tree branch after another in order to use them to stab the other party so that the other party would be tempted?

　　Uh, this method is not bad.

　　After some consideration, Li Changshou decided to place that item in Anshui City to suppress the destiny of the Sea God Sect!

　　It may only be a Postnatal Merit numinous treasure, and no matter how thin the mosquito leg was…

　　Ahem, that’s not important!

　　It was better than nothing. It was better to have something than nothing.

　　Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy and used Earth Escape to head underground of Anshui City.

　　After entering a five-kilometer radius of the Sea God Temple in Anshui City, the paper effigy suddenly began to take detours and escaped a hidden path that was known to have eighteen turns.

　　Not long after, the paper effigy arrived at a certain place in the underground rock layer. He skillfully activated a series of restrictions. The paper effigy transformed from the old immortal form into a thick paper effigy. He carried his cloth bag and jumped into a rift in the rock.

　　There was another world in the rift.

　　There was a thirty-feet square courtyard inside. It was like a paper factory with strict procedures and was surrounded by layers of exquisite array formations.

　　It was the paper effigy vault that Li Changshou had set up outside. It was currently the largest one!

　　In the two rows of small houses, there were thick paper effigies stacked on top of each other. The total number of paper dolls could not be counted in detail. Every once in a while, paper effigies that were filled with immortal power would be sent there…

　　Other than that, there were also many original paper effigies that were given simple orders. They were sweeping the ground, patrolling, guarding against fire, and guarding against thieves. The original paper effigies were just decorations to make the place look livelier.

　　In the corner of the courtyard, there were two small huts, which were filled with immortal beans. They were all top-notch goods that were much higher in quality than the batch of beans that he had given to the Heavenly Courts previously.

　　In order not to harm mortals, Li Changshou did not place any poisonous immortal beans there. That was the last layer of defense of the main Sea God Temple.

　　If someone were to attack the Sea God Sect, the paper effigies and immortal beans there would be able to unleash combat power equivalent to tesofthousands of elite Heavenl erin a short period of time to protect Anshui City and the Sea God Temple there.

　　If those paper effigies and immortal beans were all destroyed, Li Changshou…

　　could only run away.

　　At that moment, the paper effigy that was carrying a cloth bag walked to the center of the courtyard and took out the “bonsai” from the cloth bag and placed it in the middle of the courtyard. The Acacia Treasure Tree emitted a sparkling glow, illuminating the entire yard. Paper effigies were immediately enhanced with merit.

　　Speaking of merit… In Li Changshou’s heart, he opened up a little thought. General Dongmu said just now that the little Acacia Tree had been nurtured from the foundation of the original Acacia Tree. Doesn’t that also mean that I can use my merit to nurture this little Acacia Tree and spread its spirit root?

　　The magical techniques that he had been thinking about previously were actually completely feasible. If he used the Acacia Tree and his Immortal Sense Poisonous Pill, Flame Of Heart, together, it would disrupt the other party’s mental state at the crucial moment…

　　Double effect, double effect!

　　Although that battle strategy was indeed a little evil, it was already a life-and-death battle. Surviving was the most important thing.

　　That was not all. The leaves and branches of the Little Acacia Tree could be used to refine pills…

　　I’ll try to get some grafting techniques and place some other spirit roots and spirit branches on it. I’ll produce some Acacia Fruit too.

　　Since ginseng fruit looks like an infant, the Acacia fruit could be divided into a man and a woman…

　　In the future, if he had the chance to go to the Five Village Temples, he, Daoist Changgeng, would hold the Acacia Fruit and pay respects to the ancestral Earth Immortal. He could also say, “Senior, our fruits are fated. Why don’t we exchange them and make a few hundred

　　pairs?”

　　Ahem, that was purely a far-fetched imagination.

　　“How can I use this to its greatest effect?”

　　He had already obtained all the items. Although it was not the plastic Spirit Pill he wanted, he could not waste the Postnatal Spirit Root and Merit numinous treasure.

　　He did not know what kind of effect the tree sap of the Acacia Tree would have when it grew up and became a paper effigy… Uh, has the ‘Love’ paper effigy project officially begun?

　　Logically speaking, I have to be steady.

　　I should first place this item here and borrow a portion of merit from incense offerings to slowly nurture it. I’ll talk about this later.

　　After settling down the newly obtained Acacia Tree, Li Changshou returned to his main body and continued to refine pills.

　　If he had known that the Jade Emperor would give him such a great treasure, he would have been able to save himself a lot of trouble. He would have directly poked Wang Fugui… a few hundred times. Wouldn’t that be enough to get the matter settled?

　　After thinking about it carefully, Li Changshou felt that his title as a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect was indeed not exactly what it was.

　　When the disciples of the same generation were thinking about the matters between the peaks, he was floating in the vortex of the huge sect.

　　Most of the disciples of his batch were worried about the Immortal Ascension Tribulation. He could not help but worry about the Golden Immortal Tribulation and how to steadily obtain immortality…

　　The things in this world are really so wonderful.

　　A single trip to the North Continent made his cultivation life no longer peaceful.

　　The Sea God Sect of the South Ocean, which started with the ‘Money-grubbing Group’ involved plenty of karma afterwards… The dangers of the Primordial World were countless, and the waves of the Primordial World were magnificent and wonderful. It also made him feel gratified.

　　What he had gone through was not in vain.

　　Of course, it was impossible for him to rush out with lofty aspirations. It was impossible for him to do so in this life. He could laugh loudly and show off his heroic spirit. There was no real meaning to it.

　　Cultivation was the right path.

　　He was just a few steps away from reaching the Golden Immortal realm…

　　The more critical the situation was, the more he could not let his principles waver. He could not afford to mess up.

　　He had to carry out the basic strategy of keeping a low profile and making money in silence. He had to stick to the thought guidance of the ‘Steadiness Sutra’!

　　Should I think of a way to share some insights with Exalted Wang Qing?

　　Li Changshou pondered for a while and did not have a reliable solution.

　　There were only two people in the sect who knew his true cultivation level.

　　One of them was Ji Wuyou, the “empty” Sect Leader. However, after that night, the Sect Leader seemed to have started avoidinghim on purpose. He did not have any other instructions for him either and it was as if nothing had happened. Even Li Changshou’s conning and consolidation sessions were exempt!

　　The other was the newly-advanced Perfected Immortal of the Heaven-Breaking Peak, the Head Disciple of the same generation…

　　She was Youqin Xuanya.

　　She had already made a complete oath to the Great Dao. Under normal circumstances, she would not reveal her true cultivation level.

　　Due to the discrepancy between the information in and out of the sect, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou and Youqin Xuanya, who was cold and aloof, did not know about the big things that he had been doing outside the sect…

　　It was true that his Toxic Junior Sister was beautiful. It was just that she was a little too straightforward sometimes. She was not good at adapting and did not know the ways of the world. In the eyes of the other disciples, she was the standard otherworldly fairy who would not be tainted by the world.

　　Li Changshou smiled and did not think much about anything else… After a series of twists and turns during the days of cultivation, a period of peace finally arrived.

　　Unfortunately, that peace did not last long. During the 12th year after Ao Yi’s wedding and the great war in the East Ocean and South Ocean, a large-scale rebellion ensued.

　　This time, the Sea Clan’s rebel army attacked the North Ocean Dragon Palace fiercely. Although they were defeated in the end, the North Ocean Dragon Palace suffered heavy losses. The main gate had been demolished.

　　The North Ocean was also affected by the bitter cold in the North Continent. There were not many living beings in the ocean. There were also large amounts of black ice that had not melted over the years and were floating on the surface of the ocean. The North Ocean Dragon Palace was also the weakest because of that…

　　That was the first time the dragon race had tasted defeat. The atmosphere in the entire race became very mysterious.

　　There were large batches of dragons in charge of battling, changing, and ensuring peace, respectively.

　　That was only the trouble on the surface. The real trouble was still hidden under the ice.

　　According to Daoist Wen Jing’s message, the Western Sect’s true target was the West Sea Dragon Palace. Half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace had been infiltrated and half of the Immortal Flood Dragon Troops had secretly betrayed them.

　　A storm was brewing in the West Ocean. At that moment, most of the dragons had already shifted their attention…

　　Li Changshou thought for half a month and finally decided on the three-word strategy.

　　“Steady.”

　　“Steady.” “Steady.”

　　He definitely could not be unsteady this time.

　　After receiving Daoist Wen Jing’s message, Li Changshou reported that matter to the Jade Emperor in time.

　　The Jade Emperor placed great importance on that. After having had the experience of showing off his might last time, he became much bolder. He had gathered the hundred thousand elite Heavenly Soldiers of the Heavenly Courts and secretly trained them. He was ready to descend from the sky at any moment and execute them righteously!

　　To the current Heavenly Courts, that was already a precious battle force. If a large number of people were to die, the Jade Emperor would definitely be heartbroken. At the same time, in order to reduce his workload, Li Changshou offered the cultivation method that the Dragon Palace had used previously, the Ice Archers and the Great Shield Immortal Soldiers, to the Heavenly Courts.

　　It was said that the Heavenly Courts had created… Bean Marshals! Due to the immense power of the Pea Archers, Li Changshou did not offer that cultivation method to the Heavenly Courts. Instead, he planted some on the Little Qiong Peak.

　　Among the newly developed Pea Archers, he later created a powerful version of the Five Elements Flames.

　　The 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers were equipped with ten archer-type immortal beans, ten defensive immortal beans, and five Pea Archers whose power had been upgraded.

　　At that time, the move he made would definitely be shocking!

　　As the saying goes, things usually happen just thrice.

　　If the Western Sect were to be defeated during the second attempt, they would probably reevaluate the matter regarding the dragon race.

　　At that time, there would be a high chance that the West would retreat and exert pressure on the Heavenly Courts.

　　Therefore, Li Changshou especially valued that “opportunity”. He had to make the Dragon race yearn for the Heavenly Courts. He also had to wait for the dragon race to seek help from the Heavenly Courts…

　　That was the most crucial step in subduing the dragon race.

　　However, to be honest, with the fact that the Western Sect already knew that the Heavenly Courts and the Ren School had interfered with the dragon race, they still had to plot against the Western Sect again and ruin their plan for the second time…

　　It was really difficult.

　　What surprised Li Changshou was… that the Western Sect had become much more stable this time. They had obtained a huge advantage by being in the dark. They were not in a hurry to attack the West Ocean Dragon Palace. Instead, they were using the Sea Clan’s rebel army and the demons that were being transferred over. They were constantly testing the dragon race’s energy and patience.

　　Li Changshou could only roughly estimate that the other party would probably make a timely move in three years, or a hundred years. They would definitely have a method to make the final decision.

　　What would that method be?

　　After thinking about it carefully, he thought that they would definitely start from the Heavenly Courts, the dragon race, and the Sea God Sect of the South Ocean.

　　Li Changshou recently felt that his attention was not enough. In fact… he even lost two or three strands of hair!

　　At the end of the day, it was a battle involving the Sea God of the South Ocean, who had made a name for himself. What did it have to do with Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect?

　　“This life is so worrying.”

　　He was about to continue analyzing the Western Sect’s plans when he realized that Ling’e was in a hurry. She flew over from the Heaven-Breaking Peak and arrived outside the Pill Chamber’s major array formation.

　　He activated his junior sister’s special passageway and allowed Ling’e to safely reach the Pill Chamber. Li Changshou’s main body also emerged from the secret underground chamber.

　　“Why are you in such a hurry?”

　　Ling’e hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, Grandmaster is looking for you anxiously!”

　　“Did she say what exactly happened?”

　　“There seems… to be something wrong with the underworld regarding the reincarnation of our Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu. Even the Sect Leader is alarmed. He is currently in the Wang Qing Residence!”

　　Even the Sect Leader has been alarmed?

　　In that case, it would not be convenient for him to use his incarnation to go there, lest the Sect Leader was displeased.

　　Li Changshou told Ling’e to wait for a while. His real body flew out from the box in the corner of the bookshelf. The ‘Main Body’ paper effigy turned into a wisp of green smoke and returned to the ground. “T-this…”

　　Ling’e looked at the small hole under the meditation cushion, followed by her senior brother in front of her.

　　She asked pitifully, “Senior Brother, when you moved your hand across my face previously, did you also…”

　　Li Changshou said calmly, “That was naturally not an incarnation.”

　　“Oh.” Ling’e blushed. She had adapted a little more compared to before.
