Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 261; The Five Elders' Dao Patterns, Flowers Blooming in an Instant
Although Granny Vajra is powerful, she doesn't need to be this powerful.

Because the Vajra Bone Powder is too expensive, and Su Qing is too stingy.

With the assistance of the mountain demon spirit and the earth deity Buddha spirit on either side, there is no need for Granny Black Coffin to personally take action.

Therefore, it was only designed as an exorcism-type sealing puppet.

The sealing runes were even more meager, only at the first tier.

This is understandable, as this rune is a fourth-grade rune that he comprehended from the Daoist patterns of the Mountain and Sea.

Even if you can use it well before you've mastered it, whether it's Tier 1 or Tier 3, in the end, we'll see how well the coffin lid is nailed shut.
The coffin lid was nailed with diamond nails made of diamond bone, making it extremely secure.

According to the information provided on the panel, even a third-tier evil spirit can be trapped for a moment by Granny Black Coffin, and some of its evil energy can be refined.

It was only because of the exorcism procession and the thirty-six eminent Buddhist monks' ability to ward off evil spirits that he dared to use himself as bait to let evil spirits into his house.

What he coveted was the evil mark on the Gao family's butcher shop.

He didn't even dare to look at the evil markings left behind by the headless demon after its death.

Today, he struck hard at the evil markings left by the red lantern.

Dots of Dao patterns condensed in his mind, and various strange phenomena were generated in his sea of ​​consciousness.

In his perception, it was as if he had entered a sea of ​​flowers, with countless flower buds blooming freely in the sky and on the ground.

Amidst a sea of ​​flowers, he could feel an overwhelming vitality, as if these petals could transform into humans, demons, spirits, monsters, and all kinds of creatures at any moment!
As he was immersed in the vibrant sea of ​​flowers, the countless blossoms scattered and coalesced into text information on the panel, allowing him to glimpse the true form of this Dao pattern.

[Taoist Pattern: Flowers bloom in an instant.]

[Quality: Top-tier (five-star)]

[Type: Supernatural Power]

[Current completeness: 0.00001%]

[Brief Introduction: Ancient Daoist patterns fell off the Daoist Heavenly Talisman Wall, and after many twists and turns, were buried deep underground. Absorbing the blood and qi, they generated evil qi, transforming into the evil pattern—Blood Pagoda.]

[Current Rank: Tier 2 (Determined by both proficiency and completeness)]

[Current Power: Can summon four Jade Flowers, each with a different function.]

[Currently available summonable flowers: 1. White Lotus, which enhances personal comprehension and has remarkable effects on lotus-type spirits. Currently, it is only significantly effective on first-tier spirits. (Can be upgraded.)]
Second: Bauhinia Flower. It can condense a purple-gold flower armor several feet around the wearer, with defensive capabilities comparable to a low-grade first-tier battle armor. (Can be upgraded)
Third: Pink Peach Blossom, which can significantly increase attractiveness to the opposite sex. Currently, its effect is only significant at the first tier. (Can be improved)
Four: Blood Lotus, nourishes blood and restores essence. One flower brings full vitality, two flowers bring dragon and tiger spirit, three flowers make one the most supreme in heaven and earth (this flower should not be taken repeatedly, as it has addictive and hallucinogenic side effects)

"Gao Erqiang, you deserve to die!"

Such a beautiful set of Five Elders Daoist patterns, and you've used it up in such a terrible way!
After reading the introduction to "Flowers Bloom in an Instant," Su Qing felt an extremely strong killing intent towards Gao Erqiang.

If Gao Erqiang doesn't die, how will he improve?

If he doesn't improve, how can this peach blossom luck be enhanced?
If the pink peach blossom doesn't improve, when will he be able to defy his superior and ride his horse on that witch!

Therefore, Gao Erqiang must die!

We can't handle the big ones now, but we can't let any of these little lantern monsters get away!

The effect of the flowers blooming in an instant is truly captivating.

So much so that Su Qing was full of energy at this moment.

He put batches of lantern monsters into the room.

The exorcism and funeral procession was overwhelmed with work.

So much so that in the middle of the night, he even released the Buddhist monk Gao Xiong, who was part of the exorcism reserve team.

He even equipped himself with radiant wings that could ward off evil spirits and personally took to the field.

They worked tirelessly, from night until day.

The entire second floor had been transformed into a battlefield, a complete mess, with the large and small wood spirits working tirelessly to carry out emergency repairs.

But the results were also gratifying.

According to his calculations afterward, 293 lantern monsters died at his hands in that one night alone.

At the same time, the completeness of his Dao patterns also increased to 0.0293%!
"Not even one-thousandth! Gao Erqiang, you're so stingy, do you know your death is near?"

Su Qing shouted angrily, somewhat dissatisfied.

Because if he had maintained the same efficiency from the beginning, his gains tonight would have been far greater than this.

But in the later stages, the lantern monster outside became hesitant and timid, like a seasoned veteran who had been beaten down by society, completely losing its previous drive.

This caused his harvesting efficiency to decline steadily.

"I wonder if there will be any left tomorrow night. I really hope there will be!"

·······
"I wonder if there will be any left tomorrow night. I really hope there won't be any!"

At dawn, the rogue cultivators who had survived the previous night gathered together, still shaken by the experience.

Last night was a night of harvest for Su Qing, but for them, it was like a nightmare.

On New Year's Eve, lanterns rise into the sky, and heads fall to the ground.

The number of red lanterns, which was originally only a few thousand, surged to tens of thousands overnight.

These newly added lanterns were donated by innocent cultivators last night.

Ten thousand cultivators perished overnight!
No one wants to experience such a horrifying tragedy again.

"Does the Yunshan Sect still care? This must be the work of that Gao Erqiang. Don't they give us rogue cultivators an explanation? Are our heads so worthless?!"

"What explanation do you expect? What right do we have to demand an explanation from the Yunshan Sect? Our heads are practically worthless!"

"They've given an explanation, they've given an explanation! The Yunshan Sect has launched an exorcism spirit house, costing one million spirit crystals per house, claiming that living inside will protect you from the lantern monsters!"

"What's this? Gao Erqiang is in cahoots with the Yunshan Sect, isn't he? One is committing murder and causing chaos, while the other is taking advantage of the situation to amass wealth?"

"You're only just finding out they're in cahoots?"

"A million spirit crystals is too expensive! Who can afford that? I'd rather buy some exorcism talismans!"

"The burial shovelman at Su Ji's Little Shop is pretty good, how about we consider him?"

"That's too expensive, I can't even consider it!"

The evil Gao Erqiang finally extended his demonic hand to the rogue cultivators of the Immortal City.

The many poor and weak independent cultivators in the city were naturally filled with fear and anxiety.

Of course, despite the fear, the bodies of our comrades who tragically perished last night still need to be collected. In the process of collecting their remains, it is only right that we take some of their belongings.

After all, evil spirits only want heads, not wealth. If the rogue cultivators don't rob those valuables, it's just a freebie for the Yunshan Sect.

It's wrong to take money from the dead, but if they don't take money from the dead, how will they buy all sorts of exorcism items to save their lives?
In contrast, Liang Haishun, Shao Delong, and others who could afford exorcism talismans, use spirit shovels, and set up exorcism formations were relatively calm.

But just in case, they exchanged some exorcism methods with each other early in the morning.

For example, they urgently ordered spirit shovelers from Su Qing. Although everyone already had one, the spirit shovelers were only at the first level, and their efficiency in exorcising evil spirits was far inferior to that of the mountain goblin spirit shovelers.

If the quality isn't good enough, you can only make up for it with quantity. For example, Guo Qiaolian ordered five sets of furniture from him at once. The girl was really timid, but she made a lot of money.

Su Qing also troubled Liang Haishun to help set up first and second-order golden light arrays for the residences of Qinghe, the three Langtian brothers, and the people of Gejia Village.

"Asu, are you sure you don't need to set up a golden light array here? Although you are brave and skilled, evil spirits are much more terrifying than demonic beasts. Setting up an array is always safer!"

After Liang Haishun finished setting up the formation, he kindly reminded Su Qing.

Su Qing waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need it.

He is not afraid of evil spirits.

I'm afraid the evil spirits won't come.

If these little cuties get scared away by the golden light array, where will they go to improve their Dao pattern integrity?

······
The entire group of rogue cultivators in Baiyun Immortal City were frightened by the red lanterns last night. Taking advantage of the clear daylight and the absence of evil spirits, they each displayed their abilities and made corresponding preparations.

The second night arrived as scheduled.

The red lanterns arrived unexpectedly. This utterly crushed the hopes of many independent cultivators, forcing them to accept the fact that they would be accompanied by these red lanterns for a long time to come.

Because everyone was on high alert, they also prepared items to ward off evil spirits.

Despite the increased number of red lanterns, the number of people harvested was still less than last night.

Su Qing may have played a part in this.

"You wouldn't come yourself, so you're forcing me to do it myself, aren't you!"

Su Qing, annoyed that she hadn't attracted many lantern monsters with the window open, angrily used her "Mountain and Sea Capture" skill to capture a bunch of lantern monsters.

Before they were overthrown by the mandrill spirit, I first gave them a big scare, making them stubborn and timid, bullying the weak and fearing the strong!

I spent the whole night teaching the lantern monsters, and I was even more tired than last night, but the results were about the same – I only killed two or three hundred lantern monsters.

He has no immediate plans to brand the marks; he intends to wait a few days until he has collected one-thousandth of them before branding them.

However, the results from Dao patterns were not ideal.

He still wants to seize the huge business opportunities that have emerged due to the appearance of the lantern monster.

Two nights of evil spirits wreaked havoc, causing all the rogue cultivators to abandon their illusions and be willing to sell their possessions to buy exorcism items.

In an instant, the market for exorcism items soared throughout Baiyun Immortal City.

Among them, the exorcism spirit house launched by Yunshan Sect, Su Qing's spirit shovel, and the second-order golden light array set up by a few second-order array masters such as Liang Haishun quickly occupied the high-end market.

A single Soul Burial Shovel costs 800,000 spirit crystals, and each sale yields a profit of more than ten times the initial investment.

Even so, Su Qing was still somewhat unsatisfied.

Because only a minority of monks can afford and are willing to buy a burial shovel.

Throughout the entire Immortal City, there are still many poor cultivators struggling at the very bottom of the cultivation world, who have to split their spiritual essence in half to make ends meet.

Seeing these cultivators suffer and feeling distressed that they couldn't earn their spirit crystals, Su Qing felt terrible.

They didn't want these cultivators' spirit crystals to be earned by talisman makers like Old Master Tong using exorcism and suppression talismans.

So they joined forces with the big and small wood spirits to urgently produce a batch of low-end funeral shovel makers.

Because the materials used were mostly low-end, and in order to save costs, the exorcism runes were only first-tier, resulting in these low-end spirit burials being only of the first-tier low-grade quality.

However, a team of twelve, working together and attaching exorcism talismans to the thunder shovel, can also stun the lantern monster.

These inexpensive and beautiful puppets, launched on the market at a price of 80,000 spirit crystals, were widely praised and received a constant stream of orders.

And so, another half month passed.

Su Qing was busy refining puppets during the day and grinding monsters at night.

I have never had the time to brand the print.

Instead, in order to improve the efficiency of monster killing, he crafted three more Mountain Demon Burial Spirits, and also crafted two Dragon-Snake Tree Spirits and a thousand Wood Spirit Servants to help improve the efficiency of puppet crafting.

This day.

After processing all the recent orders, Su Qing also prepared more than a hundred low-end funeral spirits on the first floor to sell slowly.

Finally, I had the time to imprint the moment the flower bloomed on my body.

As he expected, his attempt to transform himself into a puppet failed, resulting in a slight loss of both his magical power and vital energy.

However, given his current level of spiritual cultivation, bearing this backlash from failure is no problem for him.

He only swallowed a second-tier Qi and Blood Pill, destroyed two of the Black Boys' bodies, and his Qi, Blood, and Mana were restored.

The immediate harvest from branding is extremely gratifying.

The improvement in physical physique and bone quality is not significant, at least not comparable to the Dao patterns of the Nine Li.

However, the improvement in his spiritual root aptitude is already comparable to that of the Sheshan Hai.

After advancing to the third rank of the Self-Transformation Hand technique, the skill requirements for further improvement become higher.

Furthermore, due to the lack of Buddhist Vajra combat techniques, his physical cultivation was stuck at the second-tier bottleneck and difficult to break through, and his gains from imprinting the Nine Li Dao patterns were also unsatisfactory.

Therefore, the main Dao patterns he currently imprints are the Mountain and Sea Seal and the Phoenix Boiling the Sea.

Now, we must add the fleeting moment of blooming flowers!

The flower bloomed and left its mark on my body, but no new flowers ever bloomed afterward.

However, the effects of the original four flowers have been enhanced.

So when he came down from the second floor, Qinghe, like a cat that smells fish, followed the scent and clung to him.

"What, are you short of spirit crystals again? You've already taken out more than a hundred years' worth of wages these past few days. If you keep taking them out, I'm afraid you won't live to see that age!"

Su Qing looked at Qinghe, who had buried her face in his chest and was sniffing him intensely, and said helplessly.

Qinghe raised her head, her face flushed as if she were drunk, and said in a daze:
"I don't want spirit crystals, I want you! Give them to me now, give them to me right now!"

Upon hearing this, the group of wandering cultivators who were still strolling around the shop all showed expressions of astonishment.

If I had known that Qinghe would give up her promising future at Baibaoge to serve Su Qing, it would be such a waste of her talent. She must have something going on with him.

But I never expected him to be so impatient.

What's so great about Su Qing?
Having money doesn't make you superior!
Even if he's great, does that mean he can do whatever he wants and indulge in debauchery in broad daylight?

Bah! You shameless puppet maker!
The group of independent cultivators were kicked out of the shop by Ge Ling and Xiong Er, who considered themselves very perceptive.

Even Su Qing herself thought that today she would lose her virginity to Qing He.

But then Qinghe said, "You smell of lotus essence, don't you? Give it to me now, and I'll do whatever you want with you in the future!"

Hi!
Worry for nothing!

Su Qing, who had preserved her innocence, summoned a white snow lotus from her palm with a slight regret.

The moment this snow lotus appeared, even Ge Ling, who was hiding under the counter dozens of feet away, ready to peek at some exciting scenes, was completely captivated by it.

Su Qing, who was already handsome and dashing, appeared even more elegant and charming against the backdrop of these flowers, captivating everyone's heart.

Ge Ling is still too young; even if she's attracted to someone, she can't act on it.

In contrast, the well-informed Qinghe didn't need to be reserved; with a flick of her red lips, she pressed her mouth against Qinghe's.

A white lotus enters the body of a lotus, and the white lotus eats the green lotus until it is dizzy and in a dream.

In her perception, at this moment, her lotus life seemed to have been sublimated. Her spiritual roots, aptitude, and comprehension all leaped forward. The sword control technique, which she had previously understood vaguely and confusedly, now felt like she could use it immediately and it would work in no time.

This feeling lasted for more than a month.

Throughout the month, Qinghe was on the second floor digesting this white lotus.

He was absent from work for a whole month!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Because swallowing white lotus leaves with green lotus leaves is really taking up too much of my work time.

Even after she woke up, she shamelessly begged Su Qing to give her more.

Su Qing did not reward her at all, actually because the white lotus was only effective the first time it was taken. Even though it had a significant effect on the lotus spirit, Qinghe would have to wait until he had upgraded the flower blooming moment to level three before she could enjoy it again.

Because Qinghe tested the flower on herself and the effect was remarkable, in the days that followed, he also had sex with himself, Ge Ling, Xiong Er, Tang Wanqing, and Guo Qiaolian.

While Tang Wanqing was eating the flowers, he also tried out the effects of the pink peach blossoms.

The effect was quite good; at least the two of them didn't sleep a wink all night.

The next morning, Su Qing, who had lost her virginity to Tang Wanqing, arrived.

Looking towards the distant Beast Mountain Range.

He thought to himself that the witch was really far away.

I wonder if I'll have the good fortune to taste his white lotus flower and pink peach blossom!
