Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 118 Lotus Spirit
Although the Langtian Gang members verbally refused to admit defeat, they seemed to have given in their hearts. Without lingering any longer, they all retreated.

Su Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief, cupped her hands in thanks to Tang Wanqing for her secret companionship and timely assistance.

He then turned his gaze to Qinglian.

This fellow Daoist seems to be uprooting a tree right now?
Is this Blood Lotus Tree a good thing?
Su Qing looked at Ren Yuan with a questioning gaze.

Ren Yuan was also completely confused at this point.

"The entire life force of the Blood Lotus Tree is contained within its three fruits. Once the Blood Lotus fruits are picked, the tree's life force will instantly dissipate, and it will no longer be able to bear fruit a second time. In theory, it is completely worthless!"

That's what the professionals have all said.

Su Qing nodded slightly in response.

But that didn't stop him from getting close to Qinghe and asking her directly.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, do you need any help? This tree is huge, and its roots are incredibly deep. If you keep pulling it out slowly with the Giant Strength Talisman, who knows how long it will take?"

Upon hearing this, Qinghe glanced at the four flag-planting bears and the two war bears, Xiong Er and Xiong Si, beside Su Qing.

Both Xiong Da and Xiong San perished in the battle. There was no way around it; their massive size meant that, despite their decent defense in the chaotic fight, they still endured far too much unbearable pain.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Su. However, the things under this tree are crucial to Qinghe, but of little use to you. I hope you won't try to get them!"

“Of course, Fellow Daoist Qing, don’t you trust me?” Su Qing waved his hand and asked again, “What exactly is it?”

"It is the heart of the blood lotus. When the blood lotus falls into the soil, it becomes a blood lotus tree; when it falls into the water, it becomes a blood lotus flower. Whether it is a blood lotus tree or a blood lotus flower, it will nurture a heart of the blood lotus!"

This item is extremely useful to the Lotus Spirits, helping them break through to the second tier!

Before Qinghe could answer, the old darling Liang Hai interrupted and answered.

"Fellow Daoist Qinghe also raised a lotus spirit?" Su Qing asked in surprise.

In the cultivation world, there is a clear distinction between spirits, monsters, and demons.

Plants and trees can develop intelligence and become spirits; lotus root people belong to this category.

When metal and stone come to possess sentience, they are called spirits and monsters. There was once a mountain stone in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range that became a spirit and called itself a mountain god. Later, a group of powerful demons blasted the mountain's base to pieces, and it died a very tragic death.

When non-human or animal beings develop intelligence, they are called monsters. Deep within the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, there are rumors of a fourth-order great demon. Even the Yunshan Sect has to leave money for the demons when passing through this mountain range.

When a wandering demon gains sentience, it becomes a demon. Unlike normal wandering demons who harm people according to their instincts, demons create disasters everywhere, establish power, and harm both people and demons. In the Western Sea, there was a celestial kingdom that was occupied by a demon. All the celestial people in the kingdom were controlled by him and were called evil cultivators, who wreaked havoc in all directions.

In Su Qing's view, Qing He must have raised a lotus spirit to want the Blood Lotus Heart, which made her somewhat envious.

The Lotus Spirit is a superior spirit to the Lotus Human, whose cultivation potential far surpasses that of the Lotus Human, and whose value is a hundred times greater.

Having acquired such a spirit, Qinghe seems to have considerable assets, despite owing a lot of debt.

In the future, we can lend her some puppets on credit as appropriate. If she can't repay them, then let her use the Lotus Spirit to settle the debt!
"Fellow Daoist Su, are you unaware that Fellow Daoist Qinghe is not human?" Liang Haishun was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He saw that Su Qing had turned Qing He against his own side, and assumed that the two were very close friends.

Su Qing was even more surprised, first looking at Liang Haishun, then pointing at Qinghe:

"She, she, she, you, you, you're not human? Are you a lotus spirit?"

Qinghe rolled her eyes at him helplessly and nodded slightly.

It's no secret that she's a lotus spirit in the upper echelons of Baiyunfang.

After Su Qing understood, he clicked his tongue in amazement but didn't say anything more.

He originally thought that Baibaoge was exploiting Qinghe and her group too much.

Only now did he realize how incredibly good Baibaoge had been to them. He could tell that Qinghe hadn't been bound by a master-servant contract, meaning that Baibaoge had never sold her or treated her as a slave after discovering her.

"Thinking about it this way, Baibaoge is actually quite generous!"

"What a load of rubbish! I'm a free woman, and I'm supposed to be doing all this work for them for nothing. I only get some mission subsidies occasionally, otherwise I wouldn't be in so much debt!"

Qinghe couldn't stand Su Qing praising the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, and replied irritably.

Upon hearing her swear, Su Qing immediately shut her mouth and had the four bears hug the Blood Lotus Tree. Together, they pulled the Blood Lotus Tree upside down.

A sudden earthquake shook the ground, uprooting the tangled roots of the Blood Lotus Tree.

A hazy, greenish hue emanated from the lotus leaves, slowly descending towards the roots of the blood lotus tree.

Under the silent guidance, a bright red, vividly colored lotus flower appeared in everyone's sight.

Qinghe is wrong about one thing.

The Blood Lotus Heart is not useless to cultivators.

This treasure can make cultivators clear-headed and calm their minds, and can also enhance their talent in cultivating Taoist arts. Like the Blood Lotus Fruit, it belongs to the second-tier limit spiritual item.

However, Ma Tuan knew that if he touched this thing, Qing He would fight him to the death, and he also did not know what kind of unclear relationship Qing He had with Su Qing, so he did not act rashly.

Su Qing doesn't have a great need for this item for the time being. With his talent in Daoist arts, one Blood Lotus Heart wouldn't be enough to raise his talent to the level of Qinghe.

The main problem is that if he really falls out with Qinghe and kills her, there's no telling if some of her creditors, whoever is unreasonable, will come after him.

Su Qing and Ma Tuan had no intention of fighting over it, and the others either had the desire but not the courage, or the courage but not the ability, so they let Qing He securely take the Blood Lotus Heart.

Just as Qinghe smiled and thanked the cultivators for letting her have this advantage,

Suddenly, a chaotic sound came from the western hilltop.

The cultivators turned to look and saw that the members of the Langtian Gang had returned.

Su Qing's eyes narrowed instantly, assuming that Li Hailang had regretted his actions. He was not only unconvinced, but also inwardly angry, and wanted to have another go at him.

Before he could send out his puppets, he would have another match with them.

Unexpectedly, when Li Hailang saw them, he acted as if he were seeing family, and said in a trembling voice:
"Help! Activate the formation quickly! Activate the formation! There are evil spirits behind us! Evil spirits have come up the mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing realized that the Langtian Gang, which originally had thirty or forty members, now only had about twenty members who had made it up the mountain.

The twenty-odd survivors all looked terrified, even more so than Li Hailang, as if they had gone mad. It was a pity that Fellow Daoist Lu Meier died at Leng Fengxiang's hands, otherwise they could have received some psychological counseling.

wrong!

Evil!

Leng Fengxiang!
Su Qing's mind raced, and she asked Li Hailang:
"Is he some ugly, green-skinned Taoist priest with runes branded all over his forehead?"

"He...he's one of yours too?" Li Hailang was terrified upon hearing this.

This puppeteer is terrifying. It's one thing to create so many puppets, some I know and some I don't, but can he even control evil spirits?

"He's not human anymore!"

Through the bee-detecting puppet, one can see Leng Fengxiang, his body covered in blood and flesh, resembling a vengeful ghost, walking step by step towards the mountaintop.

Su Qing snorted coldly and silently affixed a talisman to the warhammers of the four Explosive Hammer War Bears.
