Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 174 Overlord Spear, Exorcism Talisman.

Let's not talk about how Wang Junli complained to his third uncle, who was like a father to him.

Let's not even talk about what vicious schemes the Wang family is plotting against Su Qing.

Su Qing had already taken Wang Junli's storage bag and was preparing to go to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to sell the stolen goods.

"Fellow Daoist, you are truly capable! How dare you rob the Wang family's possessions!"

Tong Xin was startled when he saw that the storage bag was full of materials for dog-shaped puppets.

"Why do you slander me, fellow Daoist? I am not a traitor, how dare I rob others?"

"It was that fellow Daoist from the Wang family who offended me. What's wrong with offering these things as an apology?"

Su Qing looked directly at Tong Xin, using the aura of a major client to force him to believe his story.

While Tong Xin was taking the valuation, he went straight to the second floor and found Manager Liu.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Tong Xin saw Manager Liu with a big smile as he saw Su Qing downstairs.

The first-level black wood guest elder nameplate that he originally wore on his waist has been replaced with a second-level black bronze nameplate.

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed as Manager Liu said, already a second-tier puppeteer. I wonder if I will still be able to serve you in the future!"

Tong Xin's face showed both joy at Su Qing becoming a second-level guest of Baibaoge and disappointment at the possibility of losing a major client.

Su Qing patted his shoulder and said:
"Fellow Daoist Tong, rest assured, even though I am temporarily ahead of you, I will never forget our friendship!"

The daily necessities still need to go through you, fellow Daoist, so that I can help you get to the position of Level Two Manager as soon as possible!

Seeing that Tong Xinyan was delighted and set a high price for his batch of goods, Su Qing immediately knew that his words had not been in vain.

Becoming a second-level guest elder in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was a last resort.

The Wang family clearly didn't want to get along with him, and there would inevitably be many disputes with this puppeteer family in the future.

After Tiger Egg and Flowing Silver are exposed, the Cloud Mountain Sect might want to rekindle their relationship with him.

In such circumstances, it would be best for someone like Helian Xian to join the less restrictive Baibaoge (Hundred Treasures Pavilion) to preserve their freedom.

Instead of accepting the 80,000 spirit crystals handed over by Tong Xin, he exchanged them for materials to refine a substitute doll.

With the improvement of his divine sense, his perception range has now reached twelve miles, and the teleportation distance of the substitute doll has also increased several times as a result.

This doll is much more cost-effective now. He has accumulated a lot of spirit stones by selling puppets recently, and he is willing to spend this windfall today.

Just before leaving the Treasure Pavilion, he suddenly remembered something.

They turned back again and, under Tong Xinru's resentful gaze of abandonment, went up to the second floor.

I bought a second-tier battle spear called the Overlord Spear from Manager Liu for five spirit stones.

He was also destined to own this gun; it was sold to Baibaoge by Wei Debao!

It was a family heirloom of his second brother-in-law, who sold the spear after his entire clan was killed by demonic cultivators.

After buying the gun, he also purchased two white dragon bone claws, three ounces of dragon bone powder, and other second-tier materials.

He only stopped after spending half of the more than forty spirit stones he had earned in the past few days.

"Fellow Daoist, are you going to refine a second-tier puppet? May I ask what kind of puppet it is, as the materials required are so precious?"

Seeing that Su Qing had spent more than ten spirit stones to buy only some materials, Manager Liu couldn't help but wonder what kind of puppet it was that was worth such a large expenditure.

"Refine your hands!" Su Qing said succinctly. Manager Liu's question was rather impolite and seemed to be invading the customer's privacy.

"Whose hands are worth two or three hundred thousand spirit crystals, or thirteen spirit stones? What does he do with those hands to earn so many spirit crystals!" Manager Liu thought Su Qing was just making excuses to appease him, so he shook his head and asked about Su Qing's progress in researching the exorcism puppet.

"The shopkeeper is giving me too much credit. I haven't even had a chance to get my hands on those blueprints yet, how could I possibly have any results?"

However, these past few days, the Gao family's butcher shop has been quite cunning, only targeting demonic beasts. Some daring fellow practitioners have even been able to exchange demonic beasts for quite a few good items from it.

The evil spirits have no time to rise, so why are you in such a hurry, shopkeeper?

Su Qing said with a smile, "It's strange, but it seems that the Gao family's butcher shop was really persuaded by the Yunshan Sect."

In the past few days, Gao Erqiang, who was originally like a multi-headed monster, has been walking out of the butcher shop in broad daylight like a normal person, looking for loose cultivators to trade with.

A complete demon beast with its vital energy still intact can be exchanged for pills, talismans, spirit crystals, and other items.

The price they offered was even fairer than that of Baibaoge!
This has stirred up many independent cultivators, who say that it would be better to sell to evil spirits than to sell to a black-hearted cult like the Hundred Treasures Pavilion!

"There was no unusual activity, which is why I asked you to refine it quickly. If we don't prepare it in advance, it will be too late if something really happens!"

"It's because the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range is currently experiencing a monster rampage, making the original trade routes less smooth. Otherwise, our shop would have already brought in exorcism puppets from the Martial Immortal Kingdom!"

Seeing Su Qing's nonchalant attitude, Manager Liu urged her repeatedly.

"Even if that Gao family's butcher shop really decided to suddenly attack and harm people, this sect leader is only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, why would he be afraid of it?"

Su Qing pointed to the top, where the identity of the newly appointed Pavilion Master of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was mysterious.

However, to be able to be parachuted into a third-level manager position in a multinational power like Baibaoge, one's strength is probably not much different from that of Liu Yun'er.

"It was the Pavilion Master who told us to quickly prepare exorcism items, puppets, talismans, and formations, all of which must be at least of the second rank or higher. Our Hundred Treasures Pavilion will accept as many as you have."

Let alone the peak of Foundation Establishment, according to the Pavilion Master, if the Gao family's butcher shop continues to develop like this...

Even if the Golden Core cultivator from the Yunshan Sect arrived, he might not be able to suppress it!

After Su Qing became a second-level guest elder of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Manager Liu was clearly willing to tell him more secrets.

Upon hearing the news, Su Qing immediately stopped smiling and nodded solemnly.

Even though Baibaoge is powerful, wealthy, and has many talented people, they are still so wary of the Gao family's butcher shop.

Even though Su Qing was wearing tiger-egg clothes and had silver belts tied around his neck, he still had to be nervous.

"Please rest assured, sir, I know what's important. I will give you a satisfactory explanation within a month!"

After a hasty farewell to Manager Liu, Su Qing turned and went to the stall area. At Old Taoist Tong's stall, she bought several hundred exorcism talismans and then gritted her teeth to buy three second-tier exorcism talismans.

"Fellow Daoist, are you afraid of Gao Erqiang?"

Although he gave Su Qing the talisman and told him many secrets.

But seeing that he seemed to really need the talismans for exorcising evil spirits, Master Tong didn't hesitate to fleece him.

A single talisman cost him a whopping nine thousand spirit crystals, a ruthless rip-off indeed.

"I am a coward by nature. If it weren't for the fact that the puppet business here is so lucrative, I would probably have run away to somewhere else long ago, with this evil spirit around!"

Su Qing stuffed the talisman into her storage bag, then turned to look at Gao Erqiang, who had somehow arrived at the stall area and was now talking to two daring rogue cultivators.

"There's no need to be afraid of him. He's one of us, and he won't cause trouble for at least the next two years!"

Old Master Tong had held back from speaking until Su Qing finished buying the talisman paper, at which point he finally opened his mouth to explain.
