Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 186 Yao Fei, you've shown your fox eyes!

The third floor of the Baibaoge (treasure pavilion).

Today, only second-rank guest elders are allowed to enter.

Guo Qiaolian stayed on the first floor, fuming as she watched Qinghe rub her chest against Su Qing, secretly cursing Qinghe for being shameless, wondering if her chest was as big as hers.
Shao Delong was indignant, believing that with his strength, he should have a place on the third floor as well. The Hundred Treasures Pavilion only looked at realm and not ability, which was truly blind!

Pang Feifan was having a great time. The rogue cultivators on the first floor were willing to spend 5,000 spirit crystals for protection, so they probably wouldn't mind spending a few thousand more spirit crystals to buy one or two of his precious dogs and fierce leopards that had defeated the Wang family's puppets!
Lin Jiayun, the leopard-printed zither player, had been feeling uneasy all day, first encountering a tribulation cultivator and then a demonic cultivator. Now that things had calmed down, she reflected on her journey and realized that she was very grateful for the help of Fellow Daoist Su and the others. She thought to herself that she should spend more time with these fellow Daoists in the future.

Leaving aside the companions who missed out on going up to the third floor.

The moment Su Qing stepped onto the third floor, she subtly pulled her arm out of Qing He's arms.

The short walk of just two floors stirred a sense of sympathy in him for Qinghe.

With such a level playing field, it's no wonder that Lotus Maiden is far less competitive than Lotus Root Maiden in other areas besides cultivation and combat power.

Given her own limitations, she deserved to risk her life for it!
As soon as the group entered the third floor...

The group's gazes were instantly drawn to the girl in the cloud-patterned dress sitting in the center of the third floor.

The person before me was described as having flowing green hair, a beautiful red face, eyes like autumn water, and fingers like spring onions.

Her appearance was qualitatively different from that of the many female cultivators Su Qing had seen.

Looking at her plain-colored cloud skirt, it was also a second-tier magic robe produced in the Penglai Immortal Kingdom. The phoenix cloud skirt had a cloud and phoenix pattern on it, with wings spread as if about to take flight, which was very noble.

"This woman must be a high-ranking cultivator from the Penglai Immortal Kingdom. Fellow Daoist Su, please be careful with your words later, and do not offend her!"

Liang Haishun advanced to the second-tier array master through his connection with the owner of Yuanlai Tower, but became a second-tier guest elder in Baibao Pavilion. Even so, the owner of Yuanlai Tower never complained about him, which shows his skill in maneuvering.

Upon seeing the mysterious owner of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion's attire, they knew that he was not someone that these few rogue cultivators could afford to offend.

Su Qing didn't understand why he only reminded her but not Helian Xian.

But then he realized that he had already offended the Pavilion Master once without even meeting him, and immediately understood that in terms of stability, he was still far from being as good as the two treasures. No wonder Liang Haishun had specifically reminded him.

“Fellow Daoists, please take a seat. Since you are now second-level guest elders of our pavilion, we will certainly not allow you to suffer any harm in this calamity.”

The pavilion master, who was on the high platform, raised his sleeve, and three chairs appeared behind the three people.

The three of them bowed to the Pavilion Master and the other fellow practitioners present, and then sat down.

Su Qing scanned the crowd present.

I've discovered that Baiyun Immortal City is truly a place where hidden talents abound.

I originally thought that there were very few second-tier professionals.

At this moment, besides the three of them, there were eleven or twelve other people on the third floor of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

Of all the men Su Qing knew, only one was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a face as white as paper.

His name was You Xianda. He was a talisman painter from the original talisman painting market. He was good at painting plants and spirits. A second-level talisman painting could sell for hundreds of thousands of spirit crystals. Su Qing was so envious that he even had the urge to work part-time as a talisman painter.

Apart from him, he didn't recognize anyone else except Manager Liu. He could only identify the four people wearing white cloths as the spellcasters from Qingtian Market by their attire.

He didn't recognize these second-tier professionals, and they were somewhat surprised by his advancement to second-tier puppeteer.

Among them, a spellcaster, whose eyes were peeking out from under the white cloth, stared at him several times, though it was unclear what was so interesting about it.

No! That look, that clear, innocent look, that look that harbors malice, that look that deceives bears, dogs, and people!
Su Qing swore he would never forget that look!
This look in his eyes caused him the greatest loss he had ever suffered since he began his cultivation!

"Fellow Daoist Su, please tone down your pressure. We are all fellow Daoists here; let's not spoil the harmony!"

Enraged, Su Qing unconsciously unleashed the second-tier pressure of Liu Yin, causing Pavilion Master He Xinyan to frown slightly.

She didn't like interacting with people, so after becoming the manager of this pavilion, most of the trivial matters were handled by Manager Liu and the other managers.

But today is different.

Today, Baiyun Immortal City has suddenly fallen into chaos, and as the Pavilion Master, she still has to step forward to stabilize the people's hearts.

Fortunately, the rogue cultivators were all perceptive. After arriving on the third floor, they all behaved quite tactfully, realizing that he did not want to communicate with them too much, so they all stayed quietly.

Only Su Qing, the puppeteer who seemed to have a connection with Qinghe, was acting somewhat disobediently.

"Please forgive me, Pavilion Master. I have only recently created this puppet and have not yet been able to control its oppressive power. If it has offended any of you fellow Daoists, please forgive me!"

Reminded by the Pavilion Master, Su Qing bowed and apologized to everyone.

"It's alright, it's alright. I've long heard of Fellow Daoist Su's name, and to meet you today, I can say that you truly possess the bearing of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix, captivating all who behold you. I wonder how the Yunshan Sect could have been so willing to let you descend the mountain back then!"

"Fellow Daoist Su's puppet-making skills are, in my opinion, no less than those of Wang Fengli of the Wang family. We should definitely keep in touch with him in the future!"

“My brother-in-law is safe and often tells me that although Fellow Daoist Su’s puppets are expensive, they are extremely useful. If there is an opportunity in the future, I may trouble you to make a puppet for my brother-in-law. His sister has been nagging me about it for a long time.”

The cultivators present were all worldly-wise. Although Su Qing's sudden burst of pressure had caused them to pause, tremble, and feel numbness in their legs, they were still aware of the danger.

But when they saw him get up to apologize, they all acted as if nothing had happened, returned the greeting with clasped hands, and all seemed to want to establish a friendship with him.

Even among second-tier professionals, there are differences in skill level.

Array weapons, elixirs, talismans, puppets, paintings, and beasts are ordered in this order.

Among the cultivators in the building, Liang Haishun and Helian Xian were the most respected for their formation and weapon.

However, these two have reached the end of their lifespan, and if they do not make any breakthroughs in the next ten years, they may simply turn into a pile of bones.

In contrast, Su Qing, whose lifespan was not long and who still had more than a hundred years to live, attracted more attention from the cultivators.

The cultivators gave him face, and Su Qing responded to each of them. However, when the beautiful-eyed swindler asked in a low voice whether he would sell the puppet on his body, Su Qing was surprised.

Su Qing barely managed to suppress her anger before nodding in response:
"Yes, it is for sale. If you have time later, you can come and find me. I will give you a fair price."

"It's a deal then. Consort Yao will go to find you in a few days. Please don't be reluctant to part with me then!"

it is good!
Yao Fei, right?

Remember you!

I can't sell you a puppet, but I can give you a giant hammer!
Su Qing suppressed her anger, smiled and said a few more words to him before sitting down.

Liang Haishun, Helian Xian, and the others kept their eyes fixed on the round mirror reflecting the water in the middle of the third floor.

Above, the images depict scenes of major battles taking place on various parts of the city wall.
