Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 151 The Lesser Daoist's Single-Minded Cultivation
Early in the morning.

Su Qing spent over 100,000 spirit crystals, which she had earned in a fit of rage yesterday, and with Tong Xin's help, she spent 10,000 crystals to buy a number of materials.

Carrying a full storage bag, I remained constantly vigilant.

Besides the Twin-Blade Lizard team outside, the Sky Roc Ship, the Explosive Hammer War Bear team, and the Big Leopard and Little Leopard can be deployed at any time.

This was to guard against any possible actions by the Wang family.

But the journey was smooth sailing.

This made him wonder if the Wang family would be so vicious as to resort to a price war tactic that would hurt both themselves and the enemy.

But he saw that two groups of people were already waiting in front of his own yard.

A group of people, including Ge Changyuan and several village chiefs, had already spread the word yesterday that the Lizard Rider was a hot seller.

I heard that others bought lizard riders for ten or twenty thousand spirit crystals.

Su Qing offered herself a price of only eight thousand spirit crystals.

Ge Changyuan felt a little embarrassed to take advantage of Su Qing.

The village chiefs were really eager to take advantage of this.

He dragged Ge Changyuan to Su Qing's place early in the morning, wanting to really take advantage of this opportunity!

The other group consisted of members of the Wang family, led by Wang Xing, with Wang Junli dressed like a peacock beside him.

Behind them were several young women, each dressed in their own way and exuding charm.

Su Qing didn't know what the Wang family was up to, but there were only a few of them, and if they really made a move, she could easily take them down.

Since the visitors were guests, both groups were led into the courtyard.

"This is a top-grade first-tier spirit house. There's even an array in the courtyard. Fellow Daoist Su, you're truly remarkable!"

Upon entering the courtyard, Village Chief Ge glanced at the thick earthen array gleaming with yellow light and said with a mixture of amazement and flattery.

"You bumpkin! No matter how good a first-tier spirit house is, it can't compare to a second-tier one. My Wang family has two of those!"

Wang Junli held his head high and chest out, speaking with disdain.

"This child really doesn't know how to talk!" Wang Xing slapped him on the forehead and bowed repeatedly to Su Qing.

Seeing his attitude, Su Qing couldn't help but become even more curious about his purpose in coming here today.

But no matter how curious I am, I have to finish serving my clients first.

I heard from Ge Changyuan that, with the support of Yunshan Sect, the villagers' lives are getting better and better.

Su Qing had no intention of letting go of this group of high-quality clients.

In front of the Wang family, he released the ten lizard riders he had promised.

"Eight thousand spirit crystals per puppet. Village chiefs, are you satisfied with these puppets?"

After Su Qing finished speaking, several village chiefs surrounded the lizard knight, praising him endlessly, but let's leave that aside for now.

Wang Xing frowned.

The Wang family held a meeting last night.

Although they had come up with a final strategy to deal with Su Qing's challenge.

However, a price war remains one of the alternative solutions.

In their conjecture, Su Qing's success rate in refining such a new type of puppet as the Lizard Knight was definitely not high.

Considering the cost of failure, a single unit should cost seven or eight thousand spirit crystals.

In this way, they would lose some money and sell their heavy cavalry at a low price of one thousand per unit, thus suppressing the competition.

If he follows suit, how long can his wealth sustain him? If he doesn't, ten or twenty thousand lizard knights are no match for a little over a thousand dog-horse heavy cavalry.

But now, judging from his eight thousand spirit crystals, he looks like a lizard knight.

Clearly, their success rate in creating this puppet exceeded their expectations, and the cost was far lower than they anticipated.

So, it seems that even a price war can't do anything to him?

However, this makes the plan to integrate him into the Wang family even more worthwhile. Just as Wang Xing was thinking this...

After securing another 10,000 spirit crystals from the village chiefs, Ge Changyuan, not wanting to take too much advantage of Su Qing, grasped Su Qing's hand and expressed his gratitude profusely.

“Fellow Daoist Ge, there’s no need for that. Su Qing has a good relationship with the villagers. If they need anything, they can just come to me.”

Even if I earn fewer spirit crystals, it doesn't bother me at all!

Upon hearing this, Ge Changyuan and the village chiefs were deeply moved.

Everyone says he is a rare honest person among independent cultivators.

After each of them took out a bunch of spiritual melons and vegetables from their storage bags.

Knowing that the Wang family had something to discuss with him, they did not wish to stay any longer.

He saw Ge Changyuan and the others off with a smile on his face.

Su Qing originally intended to pour a cup of spiritual tea for these members of the Wang family.

But then he thought that if he poured out the spirit tea, he might be mocked by Wang Junli and show off his superiority, so he decided to save the money for a cup of tea.

The Wang family members weren't upset that they didn't get any spiritual tea.

In Wang Xing's mind, Wang Junli felt that the quality of rogue cultivators was just so-so, and they didn't know anything about hospitality.

The young female cultivators were so focused on staring at Su Qing that they secretly thought the rumors were wrong.

Everyone says that this Fellow Daoist Su is pale and weak, and that the experience of being with him may not be as good as that of an ordinary person.

But looking at it now, it's completely different.

His face was indeed as white as jade, but he was handsome and dashing, not the sickly pale complexion of a weak person.

Even from several meters away, one could hear the sound of his blood surging, indicating that he had successfully refined his body and his experience was likely stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.

Then there's his puppet-making skills, which left all the puppeteers in the family helpless, and his ability to earn spirit crystals is also top-notch!

Such good men, even if they were rogue cultivators, would not be a disservice to them!
He saw that the female cultivator opposite him had eyes that were practically bulging with tears as she looked at him.

Su Qing, who was having a pointless, polite but unenthusiastic conversation with Wang Xing, couldn't help but ask them the purpose of their visit.

"Please do not think that my Wang family is being presumptuous. It is because my Wang family cherishes your talent as a puppeteer and cannot bear to see you mingling in the group of rogue cultivators."

"Therefore, I thought of inviting you to join my Wang family as a son-in-law. You can cultivate here in my Wang family, and all your cultivation needs will be provided by my Wang family. You only need to occasionally refine puppets!"

After Wang Xing finished speaking, he pointed to the female cultivators behind him, indicating that Su Qing could choose any one of them.

The people on both sides were all of low aptitude, so even if Su Qingquan took them all, he wouldn't have any objections.

Of course, as a family of cultivators, the Wang family's female cultivators are all well-mannered and take good care of themselves.

In Wang Xing's view, Su Qing, a rogue cultivator, had never experienced anything of refinement, and any female cultivator here would be more than a match for him.

On the other hand, Su Qing, after hearing about the Wang family's plans...

He almost spat out the spiritual tea he was drinking.

He had considered how unpredictable and treacherous the business wars in the cultivation world could be.

Unexpectedly, the real business battles are so simple and unpretentious.

I just slapped the Wang family hard yesterday.

The man turned around and sent his daughter to his door, wanting him to be his son-in-law.

With such family customs and practices, it's no wonder that the Wang family has been able to control the puppet business in the Beast Puppet Market for hundreds of years!

Even though he had never considered marrying into the Wang family, he couldn't help but raise his opinion of them now!
Cultivation families that have stood the test of time for hundreds of years are indeed not the kind of people who readily resort to violence.

"Please forgive me, fellow Daoist, but I have no intention of marrying into a family at the moment."

However, Xiaodao had no intention of competing with the Wang family; yesterday's action was out of necessity.

"These lizard riders, I only sell about ten or twenty a month, so it shouldn't affect the Wang family's business too much. Please don't take offense, fellow Daoist!"
