Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 268 The Old Taoist Priest Reveals Heavenly Secrets, the Lin Family is Annihilated

Professionals never act recklessly or blindly!
The Daoist patterns of the Nine Li are quite stubborn.

Master Tong is very professional.

Just by looking at the items that he took out of his storage bag when he was predicting a person's fortune, Su Qing felt that it was much more reliable than the Jiuli Zhuyou technique.

Six-line copper coins, yarrow stalks, old tortoise shell, human fortune mirror...

There are many tools and many methods of measurement.

Plum Blossom Divination, Six Lines Divination, Qimen Dunjia, Four Pillars of Destiny, Charting, Three Lives Book...

To determine the results of a calculation, one must consider the birth date and time, the changing celestial phenomena, the current location, and one's current thoughts and feelings.

The old Taoist priest, Tong, who was walking the Heavenly Gang and talking incoherently, was now doing things that completely touched upon Su Qing's blind spots in knowledge.

Despite having many tools, it didn't seem much more reliable than the Nine Li Iron Headbutt Technique.

But trusting him, and especially the Taoist markings on his body, Su Qing watched as Tong Laodao played with all the tools, saw him frown, saw him jump up and down, saw him shout to the sky that his luck was too bad, and saw him laugh wildly that he could not hide anything from the heavens!

In short, from noon to dusk, from calm to madness.

When Su Qing saw the Celestial Master Daoist runes on the old man's body emitting faint light, he guessed that the old man must have triggered the power of the Daoist runes in a daze and should be able to calculate something.

The old Taoist priest indeed showed a look of delight, holding a crystal ball, and said smugly:

"Although this crystal divination technique is a barbarian method, I, an old Taoist, have managed to develop it and make it work, based on the guidance of this crystal ball."

Fellow Daoist, please look. Inside this crystal ball, you are surrounded by three women. One woman has a purple-blue aura, so she must be of noble birth. The second woman has a red-black aura, so she may be a murderer. The third woman emits a beam of blazing white light, as if it were a blank sheet of paper that can be painted on at will!

With the help of these three women, you, fellow Daoist, will be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and overcome adversity!

Master Tong said with a confident expression, and carefully put the crystal ball into his storage bag.

In Su Qing's view, his method was simply to annoy the Heavenly Master Dao Pattern with various means, so that the Heavenly Master Dao Pattern would give him some hints and send him away.

Ultimately, it's not much different from the techniques of the Jiuli Toumang.

The Taoist master's annoyance with him was genuine, but the information he received was unlikely to be false.

This contradicts the results deduced by the Jiuli Zhuyou technique.

One is to make herself a witch three times.

One was to make himself a disciple of three female cultivators.

Although he wouldn't really object to either of these methods if he could survive.

It's all ordained by fate. What else can he do but get into position, lie down or stand up straight?
But if he had to choose one, he wouldn't know which one to pick.

The Jiuli Zhuyou and the Celestial Master Dao Pattern are both at the same level, and their methods of application are equally unreliable, making it difficult to judge their merits.

"When I have time, I'll go and consult with Consort Yao again. Even after she's free from the evil markings, the Nine Li bloodline flowing through her body still allows her to use the Nine Li secret techniques. She's an old charlatan, so she's relatively professional and might be able to figure something out!"

After dismissing the charlatan, Old Taoist Tong, Su Qing pondered silently in the shop.

By this time, night had fallen, and as usual, he opened all the doors and windows, waiting for the lantern monster to come.

For the past year, he has done this every night, relentlessly fleecing Gao Erqiang.

Unbeknownst to many, the flower had already reached nearly 10% of its full bloom.

The effects of white lotus, pink peach blossom, bauhinia, and blood lotus increase dramatically every day, and a new flower species has also been awakened.

[Red Spider Lily: This flower contains the power of the Netherworld. Detonating this flower unleashes the power of the Netherworld, which can cause massive damage to the souls of living beings (currently only has a significant effect on second-tier beings, but this can be improved)]

The symbolism of new life made Su Qing feel that the pattern on the lantern, which blooms in an instant, was a treasure trove, worth his nightly scrubbing and relentless pursuit.

These lantern monsters are mindless; despite their companions disappearing from Su's shop every night, they still recklessly crawl inside the following night.

Tonight is a bit strange; the doors and windows have been open for a long time, but not a single lantern monster has managed to get in.

With the buffet gone, Su Qing was preparing to cook the ingredients herself using the Sheshan Hai app.

But from outside the window, I saw countless red lanterns in the polar region flying towards the northwest of the fairy city.

That's the location of the Lin family's residence!
Gao Erqiang is about to take action against the Lin family!

Su Qing was startled!
Turning to look at the Yunshan Palace in the center, a large group of palaces and buildings, brightly lit and surrounded by spiritual energy, were not able to escape a single ray of spiritual light!
"The Yunshan Sect is actually ignoring this?"

The Lin family has done their utmost for them in the past year or two. I heard that even the family's third-tier puppeteer died on the western battlefield. With such efforts, is the Lin family's value in the eyes of the Yunshan Sect not even comparable to that of the demon Gao Erqiang?

"How vicious the Yunshan Sect is! You won't do anything about it, will you? Fine, I'll go too!"

Su Qing muttered a few words to herself.

He tightly gripped the Five Thunder Talisman and the Divine General Talisman that he had just acquired!

Before obtaining these two talismans, even if he were tempted by the Lin family's accumulated wealth over the years, he would not have dared to get involved in this matter.

But who told him to get those two fourth-tier talismans!

I still need these two tickets that are about to expire!
Even if you can't steal anything from a fourth-tier talisman, it's still good to hear the sound it makes!
I couldn't bear to see the two talismans go to waste.

Su Qing made up his mind and activated a Divine General Talisman.

Within the talisman, streaks of spiritual light burst forth, and the points of light coalesced into a majestic divine general clad in immortal armor and wielding a divine spear.

As soon as the divine general took form, he clasped his hands in a salute to Su Qing.

Its overwhelming divine power manifests itself in a way that even when it bows to people, it appears awe-inspiring and captivating.

According to the old Taoist priest, the divine general revealed by this talisman possesses combat power above the third rank but not yet fully developed to the fourth rank.

Invincible below the Nascent Soul stage!
However, this power is only enough for one strike, after which it dissipates. If one restrains one's divine might and only exerts combat power comparable to a third-tier Golden Core cultivator, one can last a little longer.

Time waits for no one, and there is no time to lose.

Su Qing summoned the tiger egg and instructed it:
"Robbing the rich to help the poor, Tiger Egg, you have experience. This time, when you go to the Lin family, let this divine general do the dirty work of smashing, burning, and killing. Don't worry about whether they live or die. Just go and rob, rob things, rob souls. Leave nothing behind, understand?"

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm good at this!" Tiger Egg said excitedly, it missed the feeling of raiding the royal family and betraying its teammates last time.

Seeing that it understood, Su Qing handed it the Five Thunder Talisman and said, "If there is any danger, you can use this talisman to cover your retreat!"

"Such precious talisman paper, my master is actually willing to give it to Little Tiger! Little Tiger dares not to die for his master!" Tiger Egg said, holding the Five Thunder Talisman.

There was no time for it to take the opportunity to flatter or fawn over him. Su Qing waved his hand, telling it to quickly set off with the golden-armored general.

······
A catastrophe of immense magnitude, a calamity that could wipe out an entire clan.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the Lin family.

Lanterns rained down on the Lin family, covering the sky. The entire Lin family was terrified and cried out in panic.

"What's going on? Didn't the patriarch agree with the Yunshan Sect that Gao Erqiang would only devour rogue cultivators and not invade our Lin family's territory?"

"Is it that the Yunshan Sect can no longer hold onto Gao Erqiang, or has the Yunshan Sect given up on our Lin family!"

"Has my Lin family offended the Yunshan Sect in any way these past few days?"

"If we have truly offended them, we must explain ourselves properly. All the lanterns in the city are pointing at us. Without the help of the high-ranking cultivators of Yunshan Sect, my Lin family would be in grave danger today!"

Amidst the panic among the clansmen, Lin Bonian, the head of the Lin family, stepped forward.

His face was as cold and hard as iron. He stood with his hands behind his back and roared at his clansmen:

"Even now, do you still harbor illusions about the Yunshan Sect?"
Given the Yuan family's past actions, we should have known long ago that the Yunshan Sect would target us.

We harbor no illusions. Over the past year or two, we've endured hardship and appeasement, but we haven't been entirely unprepared. If this evil spirit wants to take over the Lin family, let's see if it can manage to break through!

After Lin Bonian finished speaking, he raised his hands and saw that the entire Lin family territory was suddenly filled with array lights.

However, it is an exorcism array system with the third-order golden light array as its core.

With him as their leader, all the Lin family members calmed down. Those who needed to take pills took pills, those who needed to summon puppets summoned puppets, and those who needed to use magical artifacts used magical artifacts.

Although the sight of the countless red lanterns still filled them with trepidation, they were prepared to fight to the death and abandoned any hope of waiting for reinforcements from the Yunshan Sect.

Seeing that the tribespeople were all ready.

Lin Bonian nodded slightly, but sighed inwardly.

The Lin family rose to prominence because of the Yunshan Sect, and for many years they have relied on the Yunshan Sect, acting arrogantly and domineeringly in Yunluo City.

But ever since he arrived in Baiyun Immortal City, he has experienced the pain of dealing with a tiger for its skin.

The Yunshan Sect is going all in, betting everything on the Nascent Soul Cave.

The Yuan and Lin families were also dragged into this mess.

He wasn't entirely opposed to this, and decided to take a gamble with the Yunshan Sect. If it succeeded, his Lin family might be able to follow the example of the cultivation families on Penglai Immortal Island, relying on a Nascent Soul sect to ensure the continuation of their family bloodline for ten thousand years.

But neither he nor the Yuan family had expected that in the eyes of the Yunshan Sect, their Yuan and Lin families were no different from those lowly rogue cultivators.

In this high-stakes gamble, they are merely consumables.

Feeding supplies for the second-year high school students!

The head of the Yuan family was not satisfied and took the initiative to fight Gao Erqiang, which resulted in the annihilation of the Yuan family.

He has endured hardship and compromise until now, but he has not been able to escape it!

Looking at the eerie butcher shop that had already fallen three miles away from the Lin family.

Lin Bonian's eyes flashed sharply, and he suddenly spoke with a thunderous voice that echoed throughout the entire Immortal City.

"Fellow Daoists of Immortal City, I am Lin Bonian, the head of the Lin family. The Yunshan Sect has gone against the natural order and committed evil deeds, attempting to use the cultivators of an entire city to raise a fake infant demon."

Every cultivator currently in this city is doomed to perish in the clutches of this demon. Today, my Lin family is determined to exhaust all our resources to carve a path to survival from this demonic abyss. If any of you fellow cultivators still possess the will to live and the desire to survive, please lend my Lin family a hand so that we may all escape together!

The Daoist chant resounded throughout the city, and many rogue cultivators in various parts of the immortal city were stirred up and began to consider their own intentions.

They knew that Lin Bonian only wanted to use their strength to fight against the evil spirits.

But they also knew that Lin Bonian was right; staying in this city meant certain death!
In this immortal city, only the Lin family has the ability to resist the evil spirits and the Yunshan Sect.

If the Lin family is destroyed, they may at most linger for a few months, but they will still not escape death.

Let's just go with the Lin family and fight them tonight!
But the group of rogue cultivators, who had just mustered their courage and were about to go out and fight with their magical weapons and armor, were now facing off.

Upon seeing the seven golden rays of golden light emanating from the Cloud Mountain Palace, and a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators sweeping across the entire city.

All the turmoil, all the courage, vanished in that instant.

In the blink of an eye, the entire city fell silent.

"The evil forces are too powerful, and even my Yunshan Sect is unable to control them. Since Fellow Daoist Lin intends to lead the Lin family to fight against these evil forces, on behalf of all the disciples of the Yunshan Sect and all the fellow Daoists of Baiyun Immortal City, I thank you for your efforts."

"Please rest assured, fellow Daoist, as you fight this demon. The entire city, inside and out, has been sealed off by my Yunshan Sect. We will not allow this demon to escape. Just watch your skillful techniques to subdue this demon!"

The Daoist master of the Yunshan Sect, Bai Mei, with his otherworldly demeanor, also had his Daoist teachings spread throughout the city.

The sound sent chills down the spines of all the cultivators in the city.

Looking into the city again, countless arrays of light rose up, and numerous magical cannon puppets turned their cannons around.

He immediately realized that while the Yunshan Sect might not be able to guarantee the demon's escape, the Lin family was definitely doomed tonight.

Lin Bonian was also furious at this moment, forgetting the dignity of a Golden Core cultivator, and cursed at the sect leader, Bai Mei:
"White Eyebrows, you old scoundrel! If it weren't for our ancestors from the Yuan and Lin families leading your sect to seize the accumulated wealth of the Fu Dao Sect, how could your Yunshan Sect have a foothold in the cultivation world of the Western Sea?"

"A thousand years of friendship, and today you abandon both our families like worn-out shoes. We, who sought refuge with a tiger, deserve to die. You, who rely on evil, will suffer an even worse fate than us!"

"I don't need you to worry about the future of my Yunshan Sect. If you can subdue this demon tonight, we may be able to continue our cooperation!"

Sect Master Bai Mei turned and left, and all the elders and disciples of Yunshan returned to Yunshan Hall together.

Judging from their behavior, this sect seems to have no intention of interfering in the conflict between the Lin family and the evil forces.

Su Qing, whose spiritual sense was comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator, saw all of this happening.

When Lin Bonian incited the cultivators, he was somewhat tempted, but he quickly suppressed it.

It wasn't that he looked down on the Lin family.

In reality, with the strength of one family, it was impossible to restrain too much of the power of the Yunshan Sect.

Anyone who tries to start a rebellion at this time will only be severely suppressed by the Yunshan Sect.

He and most of the independent cultivators in the city, and even the Lin family themselves, just wanted to survive until the cave was opened and the Yunshan Sect and the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom, and the Hundred Beast Demon King were engaged in a full-scale battle, so that they could take advantage of the chaos and seek a chance to survive.

The Lin family simply couldn't survive until the very end. The Yunshan Sect was wary of this family uniting together and causing trouble during the great battle, so they decided to eliminate them ahead of time.

"But why is the Yunshan Sect so sure that they can suppress Gao Erqiang? The Yuan family, the Lin family, and the countless corpses of the rogue cultivators who died at the hands of the Red Lantern in the past year or two, on both battlefields, have all been fed to Gao Erqiang."

This demon's evil aura grows stronger every day. After today, it may even possess the strength of a nascent soul cultivator. Do the few Golden Core cultivators of the Yunshan Sect have the ability to suppress this demon?

Su Qing asked in confusion, guessing that Yunshan Sect might have some trump cards that he hadn't expected to use.

Thinking too much was pointless, so he focused his divine sense on the golden-armored general and the tiger egg.

There, gods were slaying, tiger eggs were being snatched, and talismans and puppets were being used in a frenzy!
