Chapter 281 Unable to find the Treasure, Unintentionally Blowing Things Up

In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou sat in front of the Pill Furnace and looked at the few b.a.l.l.s of fire that were flickering gently. A portion of his attention was focused on maneuvering the carriage-driving paper effigy and making it move across the mountains, and towards the South Continent. If it was during the opening of the Primordial World, there would be treasures everywhere in the Primordial World. One could pick up some Connate items with just two steps. After all, the entire Primordial World was born from the Connate Dao.

However, countless Yuan Meetings had already existed in the Primordial World. Wave after wave of tribulations descended. Connate lifeforms, dragons, phoenixes, magi, and humans had survived a few Great Eras…

Connate numinous treasures that had yet to be born were just like the Saint’s. They were truly rare.

That’s not right. There should be many collectors in the Primordial World. If he wanted to search for treasures, the first choice would be to go to the Middle Continent. The chances of encountering treasures were higher. However, Li Changshou did not want to randomly encounter opportunities for no reason.

For example, when he first left a good impression on Old Master Wan Linyun, he had carefully calculated and studied it. Then, he had done what Elder Wan Linyun liked and set up an ambush. Finally, he had obtained the Poison Sutra for Dao Protection.

Treasure-hunting was the same. He had to plan carefully.

Firstly, he wrote a copy of the book “The Rules of Treasure Hunting “. There were only three core points of the manual. He had to calculate the gains and losses of karma, consider the problem of conscience, and not embarra.s.s Ren School. Secondly, he had to confirm the main goal. Li Changshou’s main target this time was the treasure that Master Zhao was destined to obtain, which was in the top three on the Fiend rankings, the Copper Coin of Treasurefall, or the Treasurefall Coin.

Thirdly, he needed a perfect plan.

Before the Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigies set off, the entire treasure-hunting plan had been completed. They had also spent more than ten rolls of cloth.

Fortunately, he did not need to create new paintings of the Hundred Beauties and the Autumn Palace. It was okay for the cloth to be used up.

Apart from those three points, Li Changshou still had a fourth plan.

“Don’t feel heartache even if you get nothing” was a self-consolation treatment.

This time, Li Changshou was not confident that he could find the copper coins. Before the Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigies set off, he was already prepared to return empty-handed. If he returned empty-handed, he would not suffer any karma. It would be a huge loss if he did not gain anything but was stained with karma instead! The Copper Coin of Treasurefall was a ‘sample’ made by a human emperor. It was the first two copper coins in the Primordial World. It had obtained the merit of the Heavenly Dao and was quite spiritual. Li Changshou had two copper coins in his hand, which had a deep relations.h.i.+p with the Copper Coin of Treasurefall. They were the first copper coins of the human race. There was some power of merit on them, and they could be considered the “children” of the copper coins.

Therefore, this time, it was also… the journey of the copper coins finding their mother!

Li Changshou really wanted to go to the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace to pay his respects. He held his two copper coins and shouted at the Grand Supreme Elder.

“Grand Supreme Elder! Please pity these two children and let them move in with their parents!”

Ahem, just kidding. The copper coins could be used for divination, but their strongest effect was to obtain Connate numinous treasures.

The moment the copper coin shone brightly, it s.n.a.t.c.hed away the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl during the G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation.

At that time, Zhao Gongming, who had emerged from the mountain because of the casualties of the ten Heavenly Lords, relied on the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl to sweep through the experts of Chan School. He then chased after the Deputy Sect Master of the Burning Lamp Sect and fought fiercely.

While fighting, Randeng fled to Wuyi Mountain and encountered two old men who were playing chess in a corner. The two old men took a closer look and realized that the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School had been beaten up. They immediately wanted to go forward and curry favor with him. They took out the Copper Coin of Treasurefall to deal with Zhao Gongming’s Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

The moment the copper coins appeared, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and the Dragon Binding Rope were s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the coins. Zhao Gongming was caught off guard and could only stare.

Zhao Gongming hurriedly s.n.a.t.c.hed it and whipped one of the two old men to death. However, because he had lost a precious treasure like the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, he was forced to retreat by Randeng.

From then on, the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls landed in the hands of Randeng. Randeng probably had the confidence to betray the sect…

By the way, one of the two old men was called Xiao Sheng and the other was called Cao Bao. In the original G.o.d-Conferment story, they went to the Heavenly Courts and became Zhao Gongming’s subordinates. They were also the Heavenly Venerate Zhaobao and Heavenly Venerate Nazhen.

Li Changshou had never heard of the interesting events in the Heavenly Courts. It should be very exciting. He also talked about searching for the Copper Coin of Treasurefall.

If he wanted to find the copper coins, he had to first consider finding the original owners of the coins, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. Where is the Wuyi Mountain in the Primordial World?

Li Changshou checked a few copies of the “Records of the Middle Continent” from different sources, but he could not find any traces of the Wuyi Mountain. Instead, he found a few places in the South Continent called ‘Wuyi Mountain’. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the main battlefield of the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation should be in the South Continent. At that time, Zhao Gongming should have been chasing after Randeng. From this perspective, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao did not seem to have met by chance. That scene might have been the old Daoist priest Randeng’s scheme. There was a problem that Li Changshou had to consider carefully. If he really obtained the Copper Coin of Treasurefall, what effect would it have on the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation?

Zhao Gongming had been killed by Lu Ya’s Seven Arrows Book. Although it had something to do with the copper coins, it did not have much to do with him.

At that time, Zhao Gongming had lost the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and borrowed the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors. He had also suppressed the Chan School. That was why the Seven Arrows Book had the chance to appear.

However, if he took away the Copper Coin of Treasurefall, he would miss the matter of Zhao Gongming going to the Three-Immortal Island to borrow treasures because he had lost the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

Then… Fairy Yun Xiao might be able to lessen her involvement with the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation.

However, as long as Master Zhao died, he would probably still get what he deserved. That problem was still very difficult to solve.

Seven days after the Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigies set off, they had already investigated a few places in the South Continent that were related to Wu Yi…

As Li Changshou had expected, that was the mortal world. There were no traces of Qi Refinement cultivators there.

To be safe, Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy and carefully searched those places.

Li Changshou had also asked the Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigies to bring the two “prototype” copper coins that were used to prevent deductions. That would increase the chances of him encountering treasures. However, he still did not obtain anything in the South Continent. “Since that clue does not work, I can only start from the other clues.”

Li Changshou sighed softly and skillfully controlled the fire. He experienced the wonders of the “pill formation” in his heart. He controlled the Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigies and changed his path to the Middle Continent…

He did not know how far he was from the G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation.

Li Changshou did not see too many signs of the G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. There was no major event like the ‘Black Bird Life Merchant’ in the South Continent.

In the Primordial World, time was mostly calculated by thousands of years.

Among the remaining options, there are three that are most reliable.
