Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 156 Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom, Blazing Fire Cannon

Su Qing naturally didn't think that Xiong Er was better at business than him.

I just felt that some second-generation immortal like Wang Junli was wasting the family's spirit crystals.

He thought to himself that it was a misfortune for his family to have such a good-for-nothing who could be fooled by Xiong Er, and he couldn't blame himself for being heartless.

When he severed the connection with his divine sense, he had already arrived inside the Treasure Pavilion.

Before he could even enter, he saw Manager Liu, who usually received distinguished guests on the second floor, come out to greet him with Tong Xin.

"Fellow Daoist Su has finally decided to bring out this Explosive Hammer War Bear?"

Since becoming a Level 2 Manager, Manager Liu has rarely greeted Su Qing with the same enthusiasm he shows now, especially since he has been involved in Foundation Establishment and Major Repairs.

Su Qing knew that this wasn't about saving face for herself, but for the sake of the Explosive Hammer War Bear.

That's why he brought this Explosive War Bear out today.

If it's a puppet exchange, Baibaoge certainly won't refuse!

"When I came to buy talisman water materials yesterday, I heard that the shopkeeper was interested in this puppet. I would never agree to let anyone else have this puppet."

But if the shopkeeper speaks up, how could I pretend to be confused? I've brought the puppet, but I don't know if the shopkeeper can afford the price!

"Fellow Daoist Su, you are right. As long as you are willing to sell, how could there be anything that my Hundred Treasures Pavilion cannot afford!"

Standing behind Manager Liu, Tong Xin, still acting like a lackey as always, smiled and invited Su Qing into the second floor.

After the three of them were seated in the VIP room on the second floor.

Su Qing put forward her own requirements.

"Manager Liu must have heard Fellow Daoist Ma and others talk about the ability to smash the war bear, so I won't go into details."

This puppet is among the top-tier first-order limit puppets. Whether your esteemed establishment intends to sell it or use it as a caravan guard, it is absolutely qualified.

If your esteemed establishment were to provide him with an array master so that he could plant flags and engage in battle, his combat power would be even greater. He would even be able to hold his own against a second-tier demon king.

These puppets are not easy for me to make. I only have these two on hand right now, so I'm not going to exchange them for spirit crystals or spirit stones.

"All you need is two Flame Cannons in exchange. I wonder if Manager Liu can make that decision?"

Flame Cannon, a first-tier ultimate magic cannon.

It is known for its high rate of fire, great power, and strong destructive force.

The Dao technique it can unleash is the Yellow-level ultimate Dao technique—Blazing Fire Break.

A single Flame Strike is far more powerful than Gale Blade, and a series of Flame Strikes is far more powerful than the slow and sluggish output of Gale Cannon.

These top-quality magic cannons shone brightly during the great war between the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom and the Cloud Mountain Immortal Kingdom, and were in extremely high demand.

Therefore, there are only six of them in the Treasure Pavilion now.

The fact that these six puppets could be placed on the second floor for sale, sharing a room with a host of second-tier magical artifacts and talismans, speaks volumes about their importance.

In Baibaoge's original plan, this puppet might only be sold to Yunshan Sect?
After stating her needs, Su Qing silently picked up the spiritual tea on the table and savored it, allowing Manager Liu to consider it carefully.

This spiritual tea can be sold for thirty spirit crystals per cup in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. It has the effect of calming the mind and spleen and soothing the spirit.

It was far better than the spiritual tea he used to serve his guests, and he didn't mind drinking an extra cup or two at all.

Manager Liu, however, was picking his teeth and pacing back and forth, clearly not as calm as he was.

If we're talking about the Explosive War Bear, does Baibaoge want it?

That's what I want.

These are unique puppets, with no other branches besides Su Qing.

They never have to worry about sales, and the profits are exceptionally high.

But if there are only two, even the highest profits won't make a difference.

Whether exchanging two Explosive Hammer War Bears for the Flame Cannon was a worthwhile deal was something Manager Liu couldn't decide for the moment. As for selling the Flame Cannon to Su Qing, he wondered if Su Qing might do something nefarious.

Manager Liu, however, was the least worried.

For professionals like Su Qing, there are plenty of ways to make money; there's no need to take risks and risk their lives by doing things that could lead to a life of uncertainty.

Meanwhile, Manager Liu was pondering.

Su Qing received another order from Xiong Er; someone wanted to buy four Double-Blade Lizards at once!

This time, he hesitated slightly. Even if that second-generation immortal was a bit muddleheaded, how many spirit crystals of his family would he squander?

So, there were six dual-blade lizards coming and going, costing approximately 9 spirit crystals.
Although she had some doubts, she thought about how the previous two transactions involving dual-wielding lizards had gone relatively smoothly.

Unable to resist the temptation, he severed all remaining spiritual links with the dual-wielding lizard.

By this time, Su Qing had become extremely curious about the wealthy customer who spent lavishly but was repeatedly ripped off.

By shifting his perspective, Xiong Er was able to clearly see the person's appearance.

He was tall and slender with slight curves, but not much. His face was covered with a white cloth, revealing only a pair of clear eyes.

Those eyes look like they're easy to fool!
Judging from her attire, she's a spellcaster?

These charlatans are incredibly good at making money; they took 90,000 spirit crystals without hesitation.

No wonder he bought six dual-bladed lizards; he was probably afraid the victim would come knocking on his door!
Su Qing silently complained to herself.

Seeing that he had cleverly sent the spirit crystal into Xiong Er's bear paw.

Feeling that the deal was now in order, Su Qing turned her attention back to the transaction with Manager Liu.

"Shopkeeper, have you thought it through? You're a level two shopkeeper now, handling second-tier spiritual items every day."

"Why is it taking so long to exchange just two puppets? It seems the shopkeeper has lost his usual decisiveness!"

Hearing Su Qing urging him, Manager Liu sat back down on his stool and tapped the table with his fingertips, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Su and I, Liu, have a long-standing relationship. In fact, Fellow Daoist Su has played a significant role in helping me reach this position today."

"Then today, I, Liu, will bestow wealth and honor upon you, fellow Daoist. Let's see if you can accept it, and whether you are willing to accept it!"

Seeing that Manager Liu suddenly spoke with seriousness, Su Qing's expression also turned solemn, signaling him to continue.

"Today, the two of us will not do this puppet-exchanging business; if we're going to do it, we'll do it big!"

The blueprint for the Explosive War Bear, or perhaps Fellow Daoist Su's promise to continuously refine this puppet for my Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

"How about exchanging them for the blueprints of the Flaming Cannon that our sect obtained from the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom, Fellow Daoist Su?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing abruptly stood up, staring directly at Manager Liu, and said:
"Is Manager Liu making fun of Su?"

The Flaming Cannon is a closely guarded secret of the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom, and the people of this kingdom are known for their vengeful and xenophobic nature, and they are extremely meticulous in their pursuit of even the smallest details.

Even if the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is powerful enough to acquire one of the puppet inheritances of this country, it can also withstand the retaliation of this immortal country.

Su Qing is merely a rogue cultivator; he doesn't possess such abilities!

The Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom is said to have been founded by a Nascent Soul cultivator who, feeling his path forward was blocked, sought to continue his bloodline and establish a family.

He also felt that ordinary people were too unworthy of him.

Therefore, they went to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, forcibly captured a fourth-tier fire phoenix, and after mating with it, offspring were born.

As he predicted, his descendants not only possessed cultivation aptitude far surpassing others, but also had the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix, and their understanding of fire-based Taoist arts was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Over time, these half-human, half-phoenix descendants multiplied and were known in the Western Sea cultivation community as the Phoenix People.

The Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom is an immortal kingdom controlled by the Phoenix People. They are not only extremely xenophobic, but also vindictive and extremely difficult to deal with.

"It's better to provoke a lustful demoness than a phoenix-like person" is a common understanding in the cultivation world of the Western Sea.

Su Qing naturally wanted the blueprints for the Flaming Cannon puppet.

However, getting involved with Feng Lairen for this could also bring considerable trouble!
