Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 181 High-Ranking Cultivator of the Demonic Sect, Human and Crocodile United
"You brought me into the haunted house just so I could give you acupuncture!"

"And what do you think? Quickly, stimulate my essence furnace and sea of ​​consciousness with the spirit needles!"

When Su Qing, shirtless and bare-chested, made her demands, Guo Qiaolian was completely stunned.

Stimulating acupoints in the human body with spiritual needles can indeed unleash the potential of both magical and physical cultivation, allowing cultivators to rise to prominence for a moment.

However, such an action will cause the cultivator to experience a period of weakness lasting more than half a month afterward. Normal cultivators would not do this unless it is a matter of life and death.

She does indeed possess this ability, and this ability was granted to her by the Needle Control Technique.

She and her father had always dutifully performed their duties as spiritual healers, never demonstrating such abilities to outsiders.

Su Qing had also practiced the Needle Control Technique. Although she had not obtained the third level of the technique's various applications, it was not difficult to deduce that she possessed such an ability.

But, is it really necessary to get it done?

"Hasn't the situation stabilized now?" Guo Qiaolian said tremblingly.

The cultivator's essence furnace and sea of ​​consciousness are the foundation of a cultivator. Stimulating them with external forces will inevitably cause some aftereffects. If one is unlucky enough to damage one's innate bones and spiritual roots, then it will be too late to regret it.

She dared not administer acupuncture to Su Qing unless absolutely necessary.

"It's not that easy to stabilize them. These cultivators are just the appetizer for today. We're still a long way from being truly safe!"

Su Qing's tone was heavy. In his divine sense, within a radius of more than ten miles, two powerful auras, no less than those of tiger eggs, had erupted.

They dared not send out the bee-detecting puppets to investigate, lest they attract the attention of those two beings.

However, in his perception, these two beings, who could exude the pressure of Foundation Establishment cultivators, were rapidly approaching them.

For them, a distance of more than ten miles is less than a quarter of an hour!
"There's no time to explain, hurry up and do it!" he said to Guo Qiaolian decisively.

Even if he is physically weak after surviving this ordeal, he will still be able to continue controlling the puppets, so it won't be a big deal.

But if we cannot overcome this calamity, then everything will come to an abrupt end, and it will all be meaningless.

Seeing his alarmed expression, Guo Qiaolian realized the seriousness of the problem.

Biting her lip, she moved her fingers and the needles flew, and in an instant, one hundred and eight spiritual needles pierced into the major acupoints all over Su Qing's body.

"This acupuncture technique is called the Rejuvenating Needle. It can restore a cultivator to their peak condition and greatly increase their strength, but it can only last for half a quarter of an hour. Fellow Daoist Su must remember this!"

Guo Qiaolian, who was using the Rejuvenation Needle for the first time, was about to remind Su Qing of the various taboos after using this acupuncture technique.

Unexpectedly, after being given the acupuncture, Su Qing suddenly leaped up and smashed a large hole in the spirit house.

Through the hole in the spirit house, Guo Qiaolian saw that above everyone, a massive, dark yellow hand, large enough to envelop all of them, was slowly slapping down.

"Switch to Tyrannosaurus Rex form!"

Su Qing shouted in the air, and in an instant, he grew from small to large, transforming into a giant black-armored tiger standing upright on two legs.

Bang!
The tiger's claws collided with the massive, horizontally slapping hand, shattering it into countless points of spiritual light, while the tiger egg was forced to retreat several steps.

The massive gust of air exploded, causing Shao Delong and the others below to lose their footing.

"What a fine puppet! I never imagined that there would be a puppeteer in White Cloud Immortal City who could create such a puppet!"

With a loud shout, a cultivator dressed in a black robe and covered in tortoise shell appeared amidst the blue sky and white clouds.

What horrified everyone was that this person's face was like the clouds in the sky, changing every moment. In just a moment, he had changed hundreds of faces.

"The ever-changing clouds! The inherited Daoist technique of the Desire Demon Sect!"

"Was that Taoist technique just now the Xuanhuang Great Handprint, which only the true disciples of the Desire Demon can cultivate?"

"A Foundation Establishment Demon... a Foundation Establishment cultivator, such a person!"

"Who cares who he is? He's here to slaughter us! Fellow Daoist Su, please accept the array flag!"

The appearance of the true disciple of the Desire Demon Sect at the Foundation Establishment stage caused all the professionals to gasp in shock. Even Shao Delong, who had just faced the Tribulation Cultivator with unwavering courage, was now trembling with fear.

Because he knew very well that it would be difficult for the Tribulation Cultivators to kill him when he was wearing dozens of layers of armor, but this Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator, just from that one big handprint, would have made it impossible for him to survive.

"What a load of crap!" Liang Haishun glanced at the timid Shao Delong and the pack of dogs and leopards. He patted his storage bag, and five array flags appeared, which he then released.

A flag bursts forth, radiating golden light.

A flag bursts forth, radiating red light and crimson clouds.

A flag is raised high on the shimmering water.

A flag emitted a hazy yellow light.

A flag unfurls, bringing forth vibrant green life.

However, it was the Five Elements Five Lights Flag that Old Daoist Liang had finally obtained after years of research, thanks to his advancement to the second-level array master!
These five array flags can instantly deploy any five-element array below the second rank.

If inserted behind a living being, it allows the being to use the power of the five elements whenever it raises its hands or feet.

With Liang Laodao's array formation skills, he can refine these Five Directions and Five Elements Array Flags.

However, this is different from standing in the formation, where there is a formation plate and spirit stones to provide energy.

These flags are planted on people's bodies, but Liang Haishun has to use his magic power to maintain them.

He was only at the peak of Qi Refining, how could he last long?

"Fellow Daoist Liang, I'm here to help you!"

Helian Xian knew that whether he could survive today at the hands of this Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator depended entirely on whether Su Qing and his puppet could stop this demon!
With a pat on the storage bag, regardless of Liang Haishun's wishes, a piece of black cloth was used to cover Liang Haishun.

As soon as the black cloth covered him, Liang Haishun, who had been somewhat powerless, suddenly felt his consciousness surge. Hall unleashed his spiritual power and planted the Five Elements Flags behind the Tyrant Tiger.

"Old Daoist Helian, you've gone utterly despicable! Why couldn't you have used the Whale Absorption Gourd to help me? Why did you have to use this Life-Ending Cloth? I still have a few years left to live, and I don't want you to cause me so much trouble!"

Seeing the Five Elements Flags planted, Liang Haishun ripped off the black cloth and jumped up, cursing Helian the Taoist priest as a scoundrel.

"At this critical juncture of life and death, what is there that I cannot give up, even if it means losing a few years of my life!"

Helian Xian said calmly and draped the black cloth over himself.

The gourd spun around and around.

However, he had refined the Whale-Sucking Gourd and was sending it flying towards the Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator in the sky.

Before Liang Haishun and Helian Xian made their move.

The Tyrant Tiger has already fought against the Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator several times.

This was Su Qing's first time facing a true disciple of a major sect.

Their methods are unpredictable, and their Taoist arts are superb, not to mention the endless stream of Taoist arts such as the Xuanhuang Great Handprint.

The alligator armor puppet on its body also continuously supplies it with spiritual power, allowing it to unleash its magic without restraint, without worrying about depleting its magical power.

Wearing the armored puppet, he was clearly a magic cultivator, yet he was as fearless in close combat as a body cultivator, as if he cultivated both magic and body simultaneously, and his strength more than doubled!
"Young man, this is the correct way to use the armor puppet. Putting such a tiger armor on you is like casting pearls before swine!"
"Give it to me, give it to me!"

Xu Huaiyi used his Shadow Clone Technique to try and distract the Tyrant Tiger with illusion magic.

Its true form circled around to the back of the Tyrant Tiger, and a flat crocodile head suddenly appeared on its shoulder, trying to bite off all the Five Elements Array Flags stuck on the back of the Tyrant Tiger!
Unexpectedly, just as it was about to poke its head out of the exit...

The domineering giant tiger, which had thought it was being deceived by his clone, suddenly turned around and grabbed his body.

"You think you can deceive me with mere illusions? My lord's abilities are far beyond your reach!"

Tiger Egg revealed Su Qing's true feelings, leaving Xu Huaiyi stunned.

Su Qing then put his newfound knowledge to use, taking out the Serpent Dragon Jade Pendant and summoning the Serpent Dragon Clan, who then coiled around him.

With the help of the snake-dragon people.

Tiger Egg flipped his hand and slammed it hard into the ground!
