Hei Fengshen's infinite deduction to become a saint

Chapter 52: Initial Success, Strategic Merits

Li Changshou frowned slightly when he heard the question.

Turning his head to look at the person who spoke, he saw a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, looking at him with a strange expression.

Li Changshou smiled and said, "I came to look up some things and encountered some problems."

Upon hearing this, the boy responded with an "oh," his eyes growing increasingly strange. "Third Uncle, what happened to you? You actually came in person, even though you usually hate reading books."

Li Changshou's face hardened. "This is your third uncle's secret. Don't ask anymore. Let's go, let's go."

Li Changshou waved his hand, as if to shoo away flies.

The boy pursed his lips, turned around, and walked away into the distance.

Li Changshou watched the boy's retreating figure, his eyes flashing with magical power.

The young man exuded an astonishing aura of fortune, his luck soaring to the heavens, making him incomparably noble.

He glanced at it and then looked away, Li Changshou's brows furrowed.

"Such a strong aura, even my rudimentary method of observing auras can detect something amiss. Could he be King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu?"

Thinking about this possibility, his heart skipped a beat. "It seems that many people will have already begun to show their talents before that great calamity decades later."

Li Changshou shook his head, turned around, and pushed the door open to enter.

What comes into view is a strange bookshelf, on which are placed various pieces of wood, bone, animal hide, bronze, brocade and other strange materials and recording tools.

Li Changshou's eyes lit up, and like a mouse entering a rice granary, he quickly began to touch the carriers containing the information.

Countless pieces of information flowed into the Jade Disc of Creation like a stream, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had recorded all of the Huang family's books.

Just then, Huang Hao, the third master of the Huang family, walked in from outside.

The two guards were taken aback when they saw him, and exchanged a strange look.

Huang Hao, completely oblivious to the strange expressions on the two men's faces, stepped into the training ground.

He had just entered when he encountered Huang Feihu coming out of the inner courtyard.

Huang Feihu saw the surprise on his face. "Third Uncle, how did you get in from outside? Weren't you checking the records in the archives?"

"Why did you suddenly come in from outside?"

Huang Hao was taken aback by these words and looked at him strangely, "What do you mean by checking the register? I just came back from outside."

Huang Feihu was taken aback upon hearing this, and then his expression changed drastically.

"Oh no! A thief has disguised himself as you and infiltrated the storage room. He probably has ulterior motives."

Huang Hao was taken aback upon hearing this, but he quickly came to his senses and his expression changed drastically. "Quick, the storage room contains the accumulated wealth of our family over generations. We absolutely cannot make a mistake."

The two shouted loudly, and their family members and slaves rushed towards the Tibetan chamber.

Unfortunately, Li Changshou had already collected all the books in his collection.

Hearing the shouts outside, my heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, I transformed into a flying ant and flew straight outside.

Inside the ancestral hall deep within the Huang family mansion, the ancestral spirits of the Huang family were asleep. During the day, they usually hibernated to conserve their energy and did not notice Li Changshou's changes.

The Huang family was thrown into chaos before the ancestral spirits were alerted to investigate, but Li Changshou had already begun selecting a second family.

Over the next two weeks, Li Changshou secretly visited all the nobles in Chaoge.

All their collections have been entered into the Jade Tablet of Creation by him.

The Jade Disc of Creation has been supplemented with a great deal of information, and the World River and Rune River within it have both seen a massive increase.

However, its authenticity has not yet been verified by the final calculation of the Jade Disc of Creation.

Li Changshou stood not far from the palace, looking at the heavily guarded area suppressed by the dragon energy of humanity, and shook his head helplessly.

There's no way to sneak in; the only possibility is to go in openly and honestly.

"It seems this is the only way we can go, but what about issuing currency?"

Li Changshou did not want to be exposed to the public, especially in Chaoge, where all his information had to be kept extremely secret.

A moment of carelessness could lead to a terrible disaster.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Li Changshou.

"The biggest cause of the Investiture of the Gods war was that after King Zhou ascended the throne, he mocked Nuwa with a poem."

"If King Zhou had failed to ascend the throne, was it possible to change history?"

The thought of this possibility sent a jolt through his heart.

His gaze fell upon a smaller residence outside the palace.

That was the residence of Wei Ziqi, one of Emperor Yi's three sons.

Originally, this person was the most likely to ascend the throne, but then the incident of King Zhou supporting the beam occurred.

He remembered that it was clearly recorded in the Investiture of the Gods.

"Emperor Yi, accompanied by his civil and military officials, was strolling in the garden to admire the peonies when the main beam of Feiyun Pavilion collapsed. The pavilion was about to collapse, and the emperor and his ministers were in danger. His third son, Prince Shou (Emperor Xin), lifted the heavy beam with his bare hands and replaced the wooden pillars, thus protecting Emperor Yi and the entire court. He displayed unparalleled strength and courage."

Afterwards, Prime Minister Shang Rong, Grand Master Mei Bo, and Zhao Qi jointly submitted a memorial requesting that Prince Shou be established as the Crown Prince. Emperor Yi, seeing his exceptional bravery and the unanimous recommendation of his ministers, ultimately agreed and established Prince Shou as the heir apparent.

"If I had reminded Wei Ziqi beforehand to pay attention to Feiyun Pavilion and reinforce its main beam seventeen years ago when Emperor Yi was in power, could this have been avoided?"

"The collapse of Feiyun Pavilion was caused by at least decades of corrosion. If it had been reinforced in advance, the possibility of avoiding this would have been very high."

"I will also provide him with the mold and mother coin made from the Luobao gold ingot, so that he can present the method of copper coin trade in the court, which will solidify his position as crown prince."

"Anyone with even a little ambition will never let this opportunity slip by."

"It also became possible to promote the currency through his efforts."

Li Changshou's eyes flickered as he once again expended 10% of his mana, injecting it into the Creation Jade Disc.

"Based on my plan, what are the chances of success?"

The Jade Disc of Creation flickered slightly, and a message entered his mind.

The plan has a 90% success rate, but the Investiture of the Gods will not change.

Both King Zhou and Wei Zi Qi were merely one of the triggers for the Investiture of the Gods.

Whoever comes to power, the outcome will be the same.

However, the success rate of promoting the currency is 100%, and the probability of gaining merit is 100%.

Looking at the information provided by the Jade Disc of Creation, Li Changshou sighed.

"It wasn't that simple after all; the Investiture of the Gods war was destined."

"Individual destiny can be changed, but the general trend cannot be changed."

"Then the goal is to establish Wei Ziqi's trust in me by predicting the events surrounding King Zhou."

"Then attach the model mother coin with the Luobao coin engraving to complete the merit collection."

Having made up his mind, Li Changshou quickly began to act.

He took out some rare metal materials from his storage bag, melted them with the Spirit Burning Fire, put the Treasure Coins into them, and then solidified the metal into a rectangular block.

Then, the Annihilation Sword flashed and split the object in half, allowing the Treasure-Dropping Coin to fall out smoothly.

The metal module developed indentations on both sides, becoming a copper coin mold.

This metal is extremely heat-resistant and cannot be melted by non-violent fire, making it perfect as the initial mold.

Next, they melted down bronze and used the mold to make the first copper coin.

Looking at the crimson copper coin, a faint smile appeared on his lips. "It's done."

Just then, a wisp of dark golden merit silently appeared and enveloped Li Changshou.

Li Changshou was shocked. "Merit has descended upon us just like that?"
