Chapter 191 - If You Don’t Change, You Can’t Get Your Soul
Chapter 191 If You Don’t Change, You Can’t Get Your Soul
Daoist Wen Jing was considered an expert when it came to sending secret messages.
In the past, she had been walking in the shadows, doing the dirty work, hard work, and evil work. She had acted as a sentimental killer, but she had never exposed herself…
That was what being professional was.
Until today, Daoist Wen Jing did not understand how she had been targeted by the Sea God of the South Ocean.
The Ren School…
The strongest Saint, the powerful Great Daoist Master, the mysterious Sea God of the South Ocean, was truly interesting.
Buzz…
A seemingly ordinary mosquito flew across the sky of the mortal world against the strong winds. It flew to Anshui City and swooped downwards.
If a mortal who had extraordinary talent or the ability to see things in micro-scale, or a Qi Refinement cultivator above the Heaven Immortal realm, were able to catch a glimpse of that mosquito, they would realize that it was an extremely terrifying mosquito…
It was a mosquito with a human face! The mosquito silently flew to the vicinity of the Sea God’s main temple. Looking at the scene in the temple that was filled with incense offerings, the corners of its mouth twitched.
Mortals are really foolish. Why do they believe everyone?
I’m envious?
How could that be possible!
As the queen, how can I be envious of such a small amount of incense merit!?!
Furthermore, I am already being imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao and cannot obtain any power of merit. I can only use merit to wash away the negative karma.
The mosquito rolled its eyes and continued to fly towards the temple.
In order to not increase her negative karma and not expose her tracks, the mosquito found a devotee who was in charge of keeping incense burning at the temple and landed on his neck. It did not enter.
The old devotee’s eyes glowed red, but it was only temporarily being controlled. Daoist Wen Jing did not harm his soul…
Then, the devotee grabbed a bamboo stick that was meant to be used as a lot at the divination stall and wrote a line of small words on it before tossing it casually.
The bamboo stick disappeared bizarrely. When it reappeared, it was already at the feet of the main god’s statue.
It could be considered a relay of the message.
Daoist Wen Jing sensed that a wisp of spiritual will had appeared on the main God’s statue. It was obvious that the main owner had already arrived.
Huh?
In the Cave Abode at the foot of the mountain, Daoist Wen Jing suddenly smiled.
The tip of her tongue slid across her lips and her smile became even more charming. If I don’t do anything, they will really think I’m that easy to order around.
In the Sea God Temple, the old devotee was flushed. He raised its head and laughed loudly. His beard trembled and he attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
The old devotee suddenly stood up and nimbly jumped out of the table. He pulled down his belt, untied his long robe, and took two steps forward. He kept laughing…
That action frightened the young ladies and old ladies so much that they screamed. The young ladies covered their eyes and only dared to peek through the gaps between their fingers.
Then, the old devotee raised his belt high and spat saliva everywhere above his beard. He danced like a snake lady and kept shouting.
“Sea God has chosen me! He has chosen me!”
“I’m going to serve the Sea God for the night! Hahaha!”
“The Sea God has chosen me to spend the night with him!”
The devotees and the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village in front of the hall were all stunned…
“What happened to Old Fu?”
“Did he drink too much at the brothel last night? Did he get poisoned? Why did he suddenly… become so flirtatious and coquettish?”
“Quick, go up and hold him down! Listen to what he’s shouting about!
“The Sea God is looking for him to spend the night? Even if he wants someone to accompany him, he should be looking for the young ladies in our village!”
Immediately, a few Divine Envoys rushed forward and pressed the old devotee onto the ground. The mosquito had already turned into ashes and disappeared…
A wisp of Li Changshou’s spiritual will watched the scene from the statue of the main god. He could not help but feel speechless.
Could this mosquito… be arrogant, and also quite sultry?
This is quite a match for the Great Daoist Master.
However, Daoist Wen Jing did not use the Blood Mosquito to injure mortals. That was out of Li Changshou’s expectations.
And that bamboo stick…
Taking advantage of the chaos outside, a Divine Envoy from Xiong Village walked over, picked up the bamboo stick, and went to the back hall without leaving a trace.
Today’s initial plan is to disturb the Sea God with a dragon.
Those simple words made Li Changshou’s imagination run wild.
The movements of the Western Sect were also in the plans that he had devised previously…
The other party clearly had a few superior schemes, but he chose a medial-class plan.
It was just an ordinary plan of sowing discord.
In the eyes of the experts of the Western Sect, the dragon race and Ren School were now related to the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean.
Previously, Daoist Wen had schemed against a dragon expert and was ambushed by the dragon race. The Great Daoist Master had appeared after the battle.
The last time, the Western Sect had set up a trap for the Second Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Yi, but it had been messed up by the Little Daoist Master…
The scheme of sowing discord should have been devised by the Western Sect for the sake of testing the relationship between the dragon race and Ren School.
Li Changshou pondered for a while. The “Divine Envoy” which was actually a paper effigy, used Earth Escape and returned to the underground “Paper Effigy Base”.
He could take advantage of the situation and tackle all the issues he faced.
He could take advantage of the opportunity to have a closer relationship with the dragon race so that he could take action easier later.
“When will Ao Yi visit?”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and was worried that something would happen before Ao Yi came.
To be safe, Li Changshou took the initiative to use his spiritual will to contact Ao Yi.
This time, he had been waiting for Ao Yi’s arrival for a long time…
It’s broad daylight…
Tsk, it’s good to be young.
A moment later, Ao Yi hurried over. His face was flushed red and he was a little embarrassed.
He quickly asked, “Brother Sect Master, what’s wrong?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Did I disturb
you?”
“No, no.” Ao Yi smiled in embarrassment. However, when he saw Li Changshou’s serious expression, he quickly stopped smiling Li Changshou said, “I just received news that the Western Sect is plotting against us
again.”
“Oh?” Ao Yi raised his eyebrows. “What kind of vicious plan do they have?”.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “It’s probably because they want to secretly bewitch and control some experts from the dragon race to cause trouble in the Sea God Sect, thereby sowing discord between the dragon race and Ren School.”
Ao Yi was instantly enraged and he cursed, “This is too shameless! If they fight against the dragon race openly and we lose, it would be fine for us to succumb! They’re resorting to scheming and dirty tricks. The dragon race will fight them to the end!”
Li Changshou sighed and said, “They want to use the smallest price to subdue the dragon race for their own use. Brother Yi, you don’t have to be angry about that.
If the dragon race is used by them, the reputation of the Western Sect will rise and they will have the potential to compete with the Dao Sect.
“Even if that’s the case, I will do my best to help the dragon race.”
“Sect Master!”
There was gratitude in Ao Yi’s eyes. He bowed deeply to Li Changshou and said, “Sect Master, you did not let me down. I will never let you down either!”
“Brother Yi, you’re being too serious.” Li Changshou supported himself with his hands and then discussed how to deal with the situation with Ao Yi.
Although it was a discussion, it was actually Li Changshou giving him continuous guidance and hints. He wanted Ao Yi to tell him about the follow-up plans and make Ao Yi feel that it was his own plan.
In that case, there would be a better effect when Ao Yi explained to the Dragon King later.
The two of them discussed for a while and decided on what to do next.
Li Changshou cut off his spiritual communication. Ao Yi escaped from the dream and smiled apologetically at his lady who was fast asleep beside him. He put on his brocade robe and quickly walked out of the hall.
They decided to play along. When the Western Sect schemed against them, they would pretend that the dragon race had fallen out with the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean and make the Western Sect lower their guard.
The main point was that the dragon race could find out how many experts in the dragon race had colluded with the Western Sect.
That was extremely important to the dragon race.
Li Changshou had been in seclusion in the secret underground chamber for three months and had finally suppressed his cultivation realm.
During that time, he attempted to sever his Dao base once again. This time, he only dropped by a few small realms, but his Dao base had become more perfect.
He did not want to create a perfect Dao base. It’s never good to go overboard. He needed to act appropriately.
It was actually a simple math question…
He had already known that he could continuously sever his cultivation realm and increase the strength of his Dao base, thereby increasing the success rate of his Golden Immortal Tribulation.
While he increased his Dao base, it would also cause the intensity of the Golden Immortal Tribulation to increase, which would affect the success rate of his Golden Immortal Tribulation.
When the two of them worked together, the success rate of the tribulation would increase, stabilize, and then decrease.
What Li Changshou had to do was to grasp the highest point of the curve.
That was the philosophy of ‘too far is as bad as not enough’ that was reasonable in mathematics.
“It’s nothing more than the same logic for everything.”
Li Changshou chuckled and returned to the Pill Chamber. He refined several years’ supply of pills for Little Aunt-Master and dug out the wine that he had brewed previously.
Counting the days, Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu was about to visit soon because she lacked alcohol.
Since Xiong Lingli had just arrived at Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou could not just leave her alone.
After refining the Sweet Bean Pills, Li Changshou placed his hands behind his back and flew to the chess room beside the spiritual beast enclosure…
Before he could get close, Li Changshou heard some pleasant music.
The music was played using ancient zithers, jade flutes, and Erhus. The music was melodious and they went well together. Apart from that, there was some percussion that often missed the beat.
However, the tunes of the instruments were very simple. Li Changshou could not help but snort in his heart…
Two tigers, two tigers running fast…
Li Changshou took a look and could not help but laugh.
In the main hall of the Royal Chess room of Little Qiong Peak, Ling’e sat behind the ancient zither. She was dressed in a white dress, and her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall…
Two paper effigies made with Ling’e’s Man-Forming Paper Cutouts mystical ability stood quietly by the side.
The two paper effigies’ Dharma powers were weak, and their auras were rather stable. At that moment, one of them was playing the erhu while the other was playing the jade flute. The tunes were not bad.
That was a good thing as he could train his multitasking ability.
The songs played by the main body and paper effigies were simple and complicated. The more they multi-tasked, the more proficient they were.
Xiong Lingli sat by the side and held the “pocket drum” in her hand. She would tap it occasionally with her fingers, but she would often miss the beat…
Seeing that they were focused on practicing, Li Changshou could not bear to disturb them. He turned around on his cloud and patrolled the spiritual beast enclosure. He praised her and was in awe.
He had picked up a treasure!
If Xiong Lingli were to go to the world that he lived in his previous life, she would definitely be a pioneer who would become rich and capable. She would be a pioneer who raised pigs and sold them at a high price!
Look at this spiritual beast enclosure. It has only been a few months since the first batch of delicious cubs were put in the enclosure.
They have actually become so fat!
In that case, as her cousin and senior brother, I cannot fall behind her!
Li Changshou flew to a dense forest at the back of the mountain of Little Qiong Peak. He found an empty area covered in green grass and took out a shiny, green-colored bean from his sleeve. With a flick of his finger, the bean landed in the middle of the clearing.
Mystical ability, Casting Beans And Turning Them Into Soldiers!
Li Changshou calmed his breathing and focused. His hands began to form seals quickly. Wisps of Dharma powers condensed into Dao-seals and entered the specially processed bean.
After a while, the bean exploded. A seven-foot-tall warrior appeared out of nowhere, holding a longsword in his hand. He looked mighty and extraordinary.
It was a pity that the warrior’s eyes were dull and lifeless. He looked slightly less intelligent…
This was the original version of soldiers formed from beans. Li Changshou did some calculations. Based on Ling’e’s current cultivation level, she could use all of her Dharma powers on that mystical ability. In a short time, she could release hundreds of “armors” that were equivalent to the third-stage of the Soul Formation realm.
Those soldiers could last for about two hours.
“If that’s the case…” Li Changshou set up a few layers of array formations and began his experiments. As his cultivation realm increased, he could transform soldiers of different intensities, and test the practical value of the soldiers…
Very quickly, Li Changshou touched the “ceiling” of the original mystical ability. That mystical ability could create a batch of “soldiers” that was equivalent to the sixth-stage Dao Requital realm, at the very most. It could last for twenty-four hours.
Moreover, those soldiers could not use any spells or mystical abilities. They could not be controlled by the caster. They could only be given an enemy target or a simple command. They would raise their weapons and charge forward.
If that mystical ability was used in mortal battles, it would be beneficial.
However, it was useless for Li Changshou.
For the spirit trees on the Little Qiong Peak, it was a good thing…
Then, Li Changshou asked a few questions.
Should I use this mystical ability?
Is there a need to change this mystical ability?
What kind of reward would I receive after expending my energy?
Soon, Li Changshou had an answer.
Change!
This mystical ability was bestowed by the Great Daoist Master. If he could come up with some new tricks, the Great Daoist Master would be happy to give him the power of the exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda that could last for years. That would be a huge
profit!
In order to change his demon form, he first had to have an accurate position of the “soldiers” that he transformed from beans.
Li Changshou gradually developed his train of thought. He felt that that mystical ability was very compatible with the current tactical system!
A new paper effigy could store immortal power. It was equivalent to an early-stage Heaven Immortal realm Qi Refinement cultivator.
Such a paper effigy could throw out hundreds of beans at the same time…
The paper effigy could be stored. When Li Changshou used up all his immortal power, he could absorb spiritual energy and recover quickly. As long as he had enough spirit trees, he would be able to continuously create paper effigies from afar.
In other words, if he were to use just the original mystical ability to cast beans and turn them into soldiers, Li Changshou would be able to create an army of Dao Requital realm soldiers that would last for twenty-four hours!
If he could successfully change that mystical ability and increase its power, the bean soldiers would become stronger, last longer, and consume less immortal power…
I, Daoist Changgen, have millions of Heavenly Soldiers hidden in my pocket!
