Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 194 Dao Patterns of the Nine Li
What are you doing at home, Fellow Daoist Su?

"I heard that some spirit mediums went to his house. Didn't you see these dozen or so spirit mediums standing in front of the yard?"

What's with that sound?

"He even dares to be a cursed spirit master!"

"Trading oneself for a puppet? Is this a legitimate form of exchange?"

"They have the nerve to let puppets and spellcasters guard the gate!"

"Despicable!"

"Shameless!"

The wandering cultivators passing by Su Qing's courtyard all wore expressions of disdain and envy.

I despise them for being so brazen in broad daylight, under the clear sky.

Even if you set up a soundproofing array!
I envy Su Qing, a puppeteer, for being able to subdue a curse spirit master. Although the curse spirit master lineage is terrifying, the process of subduing a curse spirit master is undeniably exciting to think about.

Of course, many female cultivators envied the curse spirit master. If they could spend a night with Su Qing, they could exchange it for a puppet, and they would be willing to do so.

But after a quarter of an hour, the groans of the man and woman in the courtyard abruptly stopped.

The group of male and female cultivators spat on the ground with disdain.

"inability!"

"Coward!"

"a shame!"

"How could we possibly not use a soundproofing array!"

The group of rogue cultivators dispersed with disdain.

Meanwhile, Su Qing, who was inside the courtyard, had adapted to the non-human physique of a second-tier body cultivator.

My attention has been focused on the white background and black text that appeared on my personal panel.

【Taoist Pattern: Jiuli】

[Origin: Ancient Dao patterns eternally guarded the Western Sea Ruins. Their dissipated power combined with the evil energy of the abyss, giving rise to evil patterns. Anyone possessing the bloodline of the Nine Li can be corrupted by these evil patterns, their bodies stained with them, their souls devoured. Through this, the evil demons can gradually gain control over the Nine Li evil patterns.]

[Rune Type: Enlightenment]

[Rune Quality: Five Elders (Incomplete) (Approximately equivalent to an eighth-tier rune in this era)]

[Current Dao Pattern Completeness: 0.013%]

[Current Power: Tier 3 (Power will gradually increase as the cultivator masters more information about this Dao rune and gains further insights)]

[Current effect: Proficient in combat (Combat skill comprehension increased by 30%, combat skill effect increased by 30%).

Nourishing the body (increases energy absorption efficiency by three times).

Unyielding (can withstand the pressure of a powerful being no more than one level above oneself)
Zhu You (using incantations instead of medicine to heal illnesses and injuries, using blood as a catalyst, calculating celestial secrets, and using force to control spirits, summoning wind and rain.)

[Puppets that can be crafted: Puppet Immortal, Witch Ancestor, Nine Li Witch Puppet, Giant Witch Puppet...]

[Currently possessed by: Sea Witch, Iron-Eating Bear, Kui Tianqi... Su Qing (listed in order of mastery of this rune)]

Dao patterns of the Nine Li, Dao patterns related to enlightenment!

Enlightenment and physical cultivation involve various wondrous methods, using the physical body to break free from the shackles of the human form!

Based on my understanding of the Dao patterns I just observed, and the information on my personal panel, I've compiled this information.

Su Qing gained a basic understanding of the Dao patterns of the Nine Li.

As one's understanding of this Dao pattern deepens, various methods for enlightenment related to physical cultivation will gradually emerge.

Unlike the readily usable supernatural Dao patterns such as "Capturing Mountains and Seas" and "Transforming Origin Hand," these are different.

This pattern encompasses everything and has an extremely high potential.

The reward from this single mark alone is enough to make the thirty-six high-ranking Buddhist cultivators take action this time!
Su Qing slowly opened her eyes and looked at Yao Fei opposite her.

At this point, the Buddha's light inside the room had completely dissipated.

The evil lines on Consort Yao's face and neck had all faded away. Her eyes were like clear lakes, her nose like jade, and her thin, red lips shimmered with a crystalline light. A rosy blush rose on her flawless face.

She is a very beautiful girl.

I was so lucky I wasn't violated by that evil spirit!

Su Qing cursed the demon inwardly, thinking how could he bear to ruin such a flawless piece of jade!
He now wishes he could hold it in the palm of his hand.

It wasn't that I was lusting after her body, but rather the evil markings on her skin.

But scolding will be scolded.

That little octopus monster is actually quite capable.

Even with thirty-six Wood Spirit servants striking out phantoms with the wooden mallets, they could only redeem about one-tenth of the evil markings on Consort Yao's body in one go!

This means that we can still get nine more benefits from this fellow Daoist in the future!

At this moment, Su Qing even had the urge to give spirit stones to this fellow Daoist, rather than needing the latter's help.

Such impulsiveness is clearly unacceptable!
Because before he tied up the storage bag, he saw that the thirty-six high-ranking Buddhist monks were listless.

Seeing that it would be difficult to implement Buddhist teachings in the short term, and not wanting to tire out the eminent Buddhist practitioners, he immediately ended the conversion session.

At his prompting, Consort Yao regained her five senses.

The moment her beautiful eyes lit up, she touched her neck and cheeks in disbelief.

The surface was warm and smooth to the touch, no longer the cold, rough, and sinister lines of the past.

He was full of vitality, though still not comparable to a normal person.

But his lifespan has unknowingly increased by more than ten years.

This change brought him to tears of joy.

The eyes, like those of a clear lake, become unstoppable when the rain starts.

As someone who had been possessed by evil spirits and suffered the torment of nearing the end of her life, Su Qing could deeply empathize with her.

After quietly waiting for her to cry for about half an hour, and seeing that her emotions had gradually calmed down, he said to her:

"The evil spirits on Fellow Daoist Yao are extraordinary. I used all my skills and strength, but I could only fight them to a standstill."

The minor detriment to one's essence and energy is not worth mentioning; it's just a pity that I didn't achieve complete success, only sparing you a fraction of the harm!

He saw Su Qing looking ashamed as she explained to him.

Consort Yao's eyes sparkled with gratitude beyond measure.

"Fellow Daoist has done very well. To be honest, before Consort Yao came, she had no confidence at all in whether you could exorcise evil spirits."

Having achieved this much, allowing Consort Yao to live for another ten years or so, Consort Yao was already quite content.

I have no way to repay your kindness, fellow Daoist. When I return to my clan, I will make sure that the clan members send me the spirit stones they promised in full.

This is just a small token of my appreciation, and I hope it can make up for the losses incurred by you during this exorcism!

Seeing how sensible he was, Su Qing raised her hand and shook her head, saying:
"Spirit stones are a minor matter. What I really want to do is to do my best to remove all the evil markings from your body as soon as possible. That's the important thing!"

"Can the remaining fellow Daoists be exorcised?" Upon hearing this, Yao Fei was extremely excited.

She had assumed that with the evil marks on her neck and cheeks removed, Su Qing had exhausted her strength and would be powerless to remove the remaining evil marks.

I never expected that this Fellow Daoist Su would be so powerful.

"I am not one to speak carelessly. Fellow Daoist Yao's evil markings cannot be completely removed in one session, but with repeated treatments, they should be completely gone!"

Su Qing is now even more concerned about the evil markings on Yao Fei's body than Yao Fei is. He wishes he could tie this woman up at home, bring thirty-six high-ranking Buddhist cultivators, and give her a good rub whenever he has a chance, so that he can completely drain her dry.

"Then will Consort Yao come again tomorrow? Fellow Daoist, rest assured, even if Consort Yao has to sell her ancestral property, she can still raise the cost of each exorcism!"

The previous experience was so wonderful that Yao Fei couldn't wait to start the next one as soon as possible.

This surprised Su Qing, who glanced at her in surprise, wondering if the Curse Spirit Master clan was really that wealthy.

Each exorcism costs fifty spirit stones, so ten exorcisms would cost five hundred spirit stones, and then converting that to spirit crystals...
