Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 13 Meditation Doll
The next morning.

After saying goodbye to Ge Changyuan's family.

Su Qing and Tang Wanqing embarked on their journey back to the residential area.

Along the way, Su Qing occasionally spotted some unfriendly-looking villains through the vision of the wood spirit servants he had released. He figured these people must be tribulation cultivators mingling around here.

This kept him on edge the whole way, not daring to relax even for a moment.

"Don't be so nervous. These cultivators, regardless of their skills, are quite perceptive. Few of them would dare to come and rob us so openly!"

Using the Gale Technique, Tang Wanqing, who was ahead, turned around and glanced at Su Qing, who was riding on Iron-Footed Horse, and smiled.

Su Qing herself had not yet realized the deterrent power of a first-tier puppeteer against ordinary rogue cultivators.

It should be noted that the first thing a normal puppeteer does after mastering their skills is to create several combat puppets for self-defense.

While the cultivators knew that puppeteers were incredibly wealthy, they didn't know how many puppets the puppeteers could produce in battle. Therefore, generally speaking, the cultivators rarely robbed puppeteers.

Moreover, with a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator like her on this trip, there are even fewer Tribulation Cultivators who would dare to take the risk. Su Qing really doesn't need to be so nervous.

Through the Wood Spirit servants, Su Qing also saw the fear in the eyes of those Tribulation Cultivators towards the two of them, and knew that Tang Wanqing was right.

But knowing it is one thing, being nervous is another.

After all, apart from the intimidating iron-legged horse he rode, he didn't have a single combat puppet in his storage bag.

"Once we get back, we must refine the combat puppet. Without a combat puppet, it's too unsettling to travel around."

Su Qing silently reminded himself that although he stayed in the living area and didn't go out often, this was, after all, a cultivation world where people could easily kill each other. He needed to earn spirit crystals, but he also needed to improve his self-protection skills.

Lizard warriors are a good direction.

The blueprints produced by the system are of reliable quality. If they are valued by the Treasure Pavilion, there will be no shortage of materials for crafting these kinds of puppets. Once the proficiency level increases, the extra materials can even be used to build a lizard guard for oneself.

Besides, by making good use of the Iron Bear Beast Bones in the storage bag, I can pull out the Armored War Bear. As long as I don't encounter a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, three to five mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators can't do anything to me.

While he was silently calculating, the two successfully returned to the living area.

"Fellow Daoist, please take your time. I've managed to steal a moment from my busy schedule these past two days to finish crafting the four puppets for you. Please inspect them. If there are no problems, this order will be considered complete."

Before they parted, Su Qing called out to Tang Wanqing and led her to his own courtyard, where he released the four puppets one by one.

The first one was a deluxe version of the witch puppet, which was paid for by Tang Wanqing.

The witch puppet, modeled after the witch Li Yun'er, was incredibly lifelike and exuded a seductive charm. Su Qing explained its various functions one by one, and even Tang Wanqing, who was well-informed, couldn't help but blush as she listened.

The puppets created from the other two beautiful female cultivation templates were also stunningly beautiful, but compared to Li Yun'er, they lacked something that could arouse a man's desire. In addition, without water and fire runes or other aphrodisiac runes, they were even less comparable to the witch puppet.

You get what you pay for, so Tang Wanqing didn't say much.

It wasn't until Su Qing took out the last puppet, which was also made based on Tang Wanqing herself, that things continued.

She glared at Su Qing with annoyance.

The puppet had willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, thin lips, a pointed chin, and a curvaceous figure. It was beautiful and alluring. Standing next to the puppet, the person and the puppet were like two lotus flowers blooming side by side, completely indistinguishable.

Tang Wanqing swore that the drawings she gave Su Qing were not nearly this detailed.

"I wonder how long this little thief has been secretly observing me, it's like he's seen right through me!"

Tang Wanqing cursed inwardly, feeling that Su Qing wasn't as serious as she had imagined. For some reason, she felt a surge of joy.

"What, fellow Daoist, are you dissatisfied? That shouldn't be the case. Although this puppet is an inanimate object and is not even a fraction as good as your real self, it is modeled after you and its appearance is comparable to that of the witch puppet."

"If you are truly dissatisfied, I can refund your payment for this puppet."

Seeing that Tang Wanqing did not put the puppet into her storage bag as before, Su Qing couldn't help but speak up.

Tang Wanqing frowned slightly. "If you're going to refund the money, what do you plan to do with this puppet?" "Rest assured, fellow Daoist, without your consent, I will not allow this puppet to leave the country. At most, I will use it a few times myself and then destroy it," Su Qing said without blushing.

This is why he considers Tang Wanqing a long-term customer; he really wouldn't bother with ordinary people who want to return her.

"Dream on! I'll take this puppet, but I don't plan to use it for entertaining customers, so don't you dare secretly make another one!"

"That's a pity. In my opinion, this puppet would be just as popular as the witch puppet. Of course, since you are unwilling, I will not continue to refine it."

Su Qing said with some regret that Tang Wanqing had good assets and a good reputation in the market. If this puppet could be promoted, he might be able to get a few more orders.

"Not just me, but if anyone else asks you to create a Passionate Doll based on me, don't accept it either!" Tang Wanqing reminded him before leaving.

Su Qing naturally nodded in agreement. Although Liu Yun'er was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she had nothing to do with him. So what if he offended her? Tang Wanqing, on the other hand, was someone he would see all the time. It was best not to offend her if he could avoid it.

·······
The life of a puppeteer is monotonous and dull, but also peaceful and stable.

Having already secured a large order from Baibaoge, Su Qing wasn't in a rush to set up a stall.

For the past two days, he has been mechanically refining witch puppets. He has not only refined all the goods in the Treasure Pavilion, but also made more than ten witch puppets to keep for future use at his stall.

Meanwhile, the proficiency of the Passionate Couple finally reached 200/200.

[Passionate Puppet Proficiency Maxed Out, Puppet Blueprint Unlocked - Meditation Doll]

[Meditation Doll]

[Type: Puppet for Assisting Cultivation]

[Rank: Tier 1, High Grade]

[Function: The meditation doll can simulate its owner's aptitude and perform meditation cultivation. The cultivation gains are affected by the owner's aptitude, the cultivation method, and the puppet's rank, among other factors. Current cultivation limit: Qi Refining Perfection.]

【Required Materials: One drop of personal essence blood, 5.8 taels of Black Mystic Gold, 7.8 jin of Heavenly Sunflower Water or Pine Nut Water, one piece of Lightning-Struck Wood, 76.9 jin of Myriad Spirit Soil, and a first-tier cultivation technique (suitable for the user's aptitude)】

[Rank Requirement: Tier 1, High Grade (If the rank is not met, forcibly crafting will not improve the puppet's proficiency)]

[Rune Requirements: Immortal Rune (Tier 2), Bionic Rune (Tier 2), Intelligent Rune (Tier 2) (If the runes are not met, the success rate of refining will be extremely low. The puppet's proficiency can be slightly increased, and the proficiency of the corresponding runes will also increase accordingly.)]

[Note: The meditation doll can only be used by the puppeteer and will not affect others.]

Inside the room, Su Qing looked at the information on her personal panel again and again.

After rubbing my eyes a few times to make sure I wasn't seeing things, everything in front of me seemed brighter than before.

His future in spiritual practice is bright!

As a puppeteer, if he wanted to live a carefree life, with his current abilities, he could easily do so.

But having the chance to travel through time, who wouldn't want to live forever?

Qi Refining cultivators have a lifespan of only about two hundred years, while Foundation Establishment cultivators can live for more than five hundred years.

In the past, he had poor aptitude and even with the help of drugs, he might not have been able to establish his foundation. But now, as long as he has enough children, establishing his foundation is no longer a pipe dream for him!
"These materials are a bit expensive. It would cost more than six hundred spirit crystals to gather enough materials for a meditation doll."

After the initial joy, Su Qing became somewhat worried.

If the refining is 100% successful, the meditation doll that can cultivate for him would be worth at least 600 spirit crystals, even 6,000 or 60,000 would not be considered expensive.

However, of the three types of runes required by the meditation doll, he only meets the requirements with bionic runes, his intelligent runes are currently only at the first level, and he knows nothing about immortal runes.

The success rate of grinding hard in the early stages will inevitably be extremely low. Before he can master the craft, he can forget about creating a meditation doll!
The thought of having such a money-devouring beast coming along made his liver ache.

"Even if it costs more spirit crystals, we still have to use this meditation doll!"

After thinking for a moment, Su Qing gritted her teeth and said.
