Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 314 Demonic Woman, Tiger Head Galloping.

The Witch's Tower, a twenty-four-story building protected by array puppets both inside and out, is the most important place in Demon Smoke City.

Getting inside is extremely difficult.

Even Shi Zhifang, the son of the Nascent Soul Sect Master and a highly respected elder in the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom, has tried various methods outside this building for the past three years, but has yet to gain entry.

But what's difficult for some is easy for others. In the past three years, Su Qing has been the only one who has been able to treat the Witch's Tower as his own home and move in and out with ease.

"Fellow Daoist, this is thousand-year-old yellow ox throat, freshwater donkey meat, and deep-sea red shrimp. After hearing from you last time that Yun'er wanted to eat hot pot, I have gone to great lengths to collect these top-quality ingredients from all over the place. I hope you can help me take them up. Here are a few spirit stones as a token of my appreciation. Please accept them with a smile!"

As soon as he arrived outside the building, he saw a tall, burly, ugly man carrying a box of fine food, speaking to Su Qing, who was shrouded in black robes.

Such a smooth talker, the newcomer must be a master.

Since Liu Yun'er settled in Demon Smoke City, no one except the sect leader Shi Lijing could command her. She had no interest in participating in the Dao Discussion Conference, Dharma Cultivation Conference, Soul Training Conference and other activities that Shi Zhifang had gone to great lengths to organize. As a result, Shi Zhifang could only rely on this "mysterious person" who could enter and leave the Witch Tower if he wanted to please Liu Yun'er!
It's not really mysterious, though.

Based on the connections Shi Zhifang had, he was certain that this mysterious person was Su Qing, the one who had betrayed his own father, the sect leader, resulting in his father being suppressed by the True King Tianpeng for three years.

But so what.

Can he still report him and kill him?
Yun'er will feel sorry for her!

Therefore, in Master Fang's eyes, this mysterious person was just a mysterious person, not Su Qing, but simply a rogue cultivator friend of Yun'er's.

"Do you have any wine?" Su Qing asked, carrying a food box. Although the ingredients were all good, she didn't know when she would see the witch again after today's parting. It was a pity to have food but no wine.

"This elder did not bring any wine!" Master's expression turned serious. He also had his bottom line. Sending them food was one thing, but sending them wine? What, was he going to send him essence-replenishing pills next?

"Luckily, I brought some. I don't know if Yun'er will like the taste of this acacia wine. It doesn't matter if she doesn't. As long as I brought it for her, she should drink it!"

Su Qing spoke frivolously, seemingly intending to provoke Shi Zhifang.

"Fellow Daoist has gone too far!" Shi Zhifang was no fool; he had already realized that Su Qing was deliberately provoking him.

"Excessive? A fellow cultivator has been guarding this building for three years, acting like a pervert, is that excessive?"

"I am afraid that Yun'er will be harmed by villains!"

"I think you're the most cunning one!"

"You mysterious Su, have you had enough of the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom? Aren't you afraid this elder will send people to raid your shop?"

"With Yun'er protecting Xiaodao, Xiaodao has nothing to fear!"

"Hey! This is shameless! This elder can't tolerate it any longer!"

Shi Zhifang picked up the Soul Refining Banner, and the jealousy and anger that had been building up for three years shot straight to the top of his head. He didn't care whether Yun'er would blame him for hitting Su Qing. At this moment, he only wanted to tear this shameless villain in front of him to pieces!

The demonic clouds rolled in, containing countless Netherworld Demons. Master Fang was enraged and displayed the power of a superior Golden Core cultivator. Even his Netherworld Demonic Form seemed to be more solid than it had been three years ago in the Jade Wall Cave.

However, after the battle in the cave, he realized that he hadn't lasted long enough to defeat Huang Song, allowing Su Qing to reap the rewards and avenge Yun'er. This made Yun'er look at Su Qing in a different light.

If he had lasted a little longer, the outcome would have been very different!
Therefore, the Dharma form he has condensed can now last at least half a quarter of an hour, which is several times better than before. Yun'er should have seen this Dharma form's majesty upstairs, and should know about my efforts over the past three years!

"If you want to fight, roll away and fight somewhere else, lest you damage the formation in my building!"

Yun'er upstairs was clearly not moved by him; she was only afraid that he would damage the flowers and plants outside her building.

Yun'er has always been so gentle.

"Men fight, women shut up!" Su Qing retorted defiantly, ready to give Shi Zhifang a good beating right downstairs.

This is the only way. This guy is shameless and shameless. If we don't trample on his self-esteem in front of Yun'er, he might still dare to come to this witch's building as a pervert after Su Qing leaves!
"How dare you speak to Yun'er like that? It's so impolite!"

Su Qing can scold herself, but she can't scold Yun'er.

This time, Shi Zhifang was truly enraged. He used his Dharma form to condense a giant handprint of demonic light, which emerged from the demonic clouds and pressed down on Su Qinghuang.

Even Huang Song, who used the Daoist technique of Raven Crossing, needed to condense the Daoist essence of a three-legged golden crow to break it. It took him three years of cultivation to make further progress. Now that he was using it, he thought that unless Su Qing used his fourth-order puppet, he would be no match for him.

Who would have thought that Su Qing not only didn't use the fourth-tier puppet, but also took off the third-tier armor puppet on his body.

He actually intended to abandon the magical artifact puppet and rely solely on his own abilities to thoroughly defeat Shi Zhifang!
If you're going to humiliate someone, humiliate them to the extreme!

A celestial sun and starlight rose into the sky, illuminating and dispelling the demonic clouds.

Su Qing hunched his chest and raised his head, letting out a roar that sent his blood and qi surging forth like waves, like coiled dragons and crouching tigers.

With just a single roar, the overwhelming demonic light handprint was shattered.

Shi Zhifang was shocked to see this, and suddenly realized that his rival in love, the lifelong enemy who was hindering his pursuit of Yun'er, had a strength that far exceeded his imagination.

Third-tier body cultivation?

Whose third-tier body cultivator possesses such vigorous qi and blood that they can shatter the demonic light handprint with a roar of qi?
Don't panic, at least not in front of Yun'er!

Master Fang tried to remain calm, intending to stir the Soul Banner again and perform another Taoist technique.

Unexpectedly, the Su Qing on the ground suddenly transformed into ten thousand red flowers, and from each red flower emerged another Su Qing.

"The technique of making things appear real? How did you master this technique?"
Did Yun'er teach you? How dare Yun'er privately impart my sect's orthodox teachings to you, an outsider?

This leaves my sect elders wondering what to do! For Yun'er's sake, I will surely execute you today to silence you!

Shi Zhifang shouted coldly, "Illusory Body Technique, a mid-grade Earth-level Dao technique, is an advanced Dao technique of the Thousand Illusionary Bodies. Currently, only Liu Yun'er in the sect has practiced it. In his view, Su Qing's ability to obtain this technique is undoubtedly due to Liu Yun'er passing it on to him!"

You little scoundrel, all you know how to do is trick Yun'er!
Enraged, Fang was about to resort to brutal methods.

But before he could show Su Qing how ruthless he was, he witnessed Su Qing's ruthlessness first.

Transforming into tens of thousands of phantom images, which could be turned into reality at any time, Su Qing revealed a vicious and sinister smile.

One Su Qing is ruthless, and tens of thousands of Su Qings are all ruthless.

Countless ferocious punches and kicks, imbued with savage blood energy, generated the oppressive aura of a great demon.

The protective aura and protective magical artifacts of the other side were as if they were nothing in front of his fists and feet.

The pain of each punch landing on the flesh.

The torment of shattered self-esteem.

This inhumane torture was finally stopped when Liu Yun'er spoke up.

Su Qing, having stopped the violence, viciously grabbed Zhi Fang by the collar of his Taoist robe, lifted him up sharply, and, with his face close to Zhi Fang's, coldly warned him:
"I'll let you off this time, but if I see you pestering Yun'er again, I'll beat you every time I see you. Do you understand?"

"Mysterious man, I will not let you go!" Thank God, even at this moment, Shi Zhifang was still thinking of Yun'er and dared not reveal Su Qing's real name.

Su Qing was furious at his behavior!

Another round of brutal beatings ensued.

He hammered her until she was limp on the ground, barely able to open her eyes, before kicking her several miles away, then carrying the food box, he landed in the Witch's Tower.

Inside the Witch's Tower, the atmosphere was simple and elegant. The witch, dressed in a red dress and draped in a white veil, took the food box from him as soon as he came up.

Her beautiful eyes scrutinized him for a moment, then she saw the array outside the building being re-set up. During this process, she didn't even have time to look down at him. As a result, Zhi Fang, who was enduring the pain and maintaining his posture several miles away, could only look at the tightly closed doors and let out a mournful wail that would make anyone who heard it feel sorry for him.

The wail of the defeated dog went unheard by the man and woman inside the building.

"Fellow Daoist, did you bring some aphrodisiac wine?" The witch asked with a half-smile.

"How could I possibly possess such vulgar spirit wine? I only brought two bottles of third-grade Yang-enhancing wine. Yun'er is currently comprehending the Tongyang Talisman, and I imagine this wine will be of some help to her!"

Su Qingzheng took out bottles of Hehuan wine from his storage bag and found two wine jugs labeled with the words "Yangzhuang" (meaning "male enhancement").

Liu Yun'er watched him as he cooked, heating the pot and warming the wine and vegetables, and then suddenly uttered a soft, quiet remark.

"Fellow Daoist, you notified everyone you were leaving, but you didn't even inform Yun'er. Did you never intend to take Yun'er with you?"

"Ah, what do you mean by that? Didn't Fellow Daoist Yun'er say before that the Western Sea is within the sphere of influence of Penglai, and that if you go to the Western Sea, you risk being discovered by the Penglai Sect? You should only go to the Western Sea to take back everything from your Liu family after you have achieved the Nascent Soul stage in this Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom?"

"This humble one is going to the Western Sea to pave the way for Fellow Daoist Yun'er. Once I have established a firm foothold there, and Fellow Daoist Yun'er achieves Nascent Soul status, she only needs to raise her arm and call upon me, and I will lead thousands of troops to march with her towards Penglai!"

Su Qing felt somewhat wronged. Since cultivating the Tongyang Talisman, this witch had gained some understanding of human nature, but she was more difficult to deal with than before. She was the one who said she wouldn't go to the West Sea, and now she was the one blaming Su Qing for not inviting her!
"Penglai Immortal Sect, the overlord of the Western Sea. Even if you, fellow Daoist, are thinking of Yun'er's best interests, if you wish to cultivate in the Western Sea, it would be best to avoid making enemies of Penglai for the sake of safety!"

Liu Yun'er placed the hot, thousand-year-old yellow beef throat into Su Qing's bowl and said softly.

"Of course. I understand that we should keep a low profile before starting the uprising. After I go to the Western Sea, I will get along well with Penglai and will not have any conflicts with them!"

How audacious was Su Qing to provoke Penglai in the Western Sea? Even after the demoness reached the Nascent Soul stage, he might not dare to fight her on Penglai. What was a Nascent Soul? There were seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators in Penglai, and perhaps even some old monsters at the Divine Transformation stage. Could he and the demoness possibly provoke them?

Liu Yun'er nodded slightly upon hearing this, perhaps knowing that the desire to take revenge on Penglai was merely a wishful thought to motivate her to cultivate diligently, with no possibility of actually achieving it.

"When you go to the Western Sea, you can use the He family's connections to get in touch with Penglai and leverage Penglai's power to make your development smoother!"

The witch spoke sincerely, and Su Qing nodded in agreement.

"No need for you to remind me, fellow Daoist. I have already made arrangements. Qinghe has a past relationship with Fellow Daoist He. I will contact her when we arrive in the Western Sea!"

"So you really want to get involved with He Xinyan!" The usually gentle and affectionate witch suddenly turned cold and frosty.

He's acting like a lunatic!
He's really sick!
"Fellow Daoist, you've been poisoned by cold again! Quickly, take off your clothes and get on the kang (heated brick bed), I'll help you get rid of the poison!"

"I'm not having an attack, I'm just asking if you're going to the Western Sea to find He Xinyan!"

"Who is He Xinyan? I have absolutely no recollection of her and have no connection with her whatsoever!"

"You better be careful, or I'll make you regret it if I hear any rumors about you and her!"

"Fellow Daoist is truly ill, please get on the kang (heated brick bed)!"

She deftly removed the witch's dress and unleashed a phantom of a fire phoenix, making the kang (heated brick bed) unbearably hot.

Sitting on the kang (heated brick bed), Su Qing skillfully moved his hands over her body, using the Nine Li Qiongqi, nurtured by the Quanxing Furnace Lid, a third-level body cultivator, to help the witch remove the cold poison from her body with its wild and fierce power.

Yin alone cannot grow, nor can Yang alone produce.

Although the witch obtained the Tongyang Talisman, she was able to cultivate the Yangxuan Pill and the cold poison in the Yinxuan Pill in the days that followed.

However, the cold poison had become deeply ingrained, and it would flare up from time to time over the past three years. That's why Su Qing would sneak upstairs every three to five days in the dark to help him heal.

If that weren't the case, would anyone really think that Su Qing was so idle? He had to sell stolen goods, use the spirit stones he got from selling stolen goods to buy materials to refine puppets, and also brand Dao patterns on them to refine himself into a puppet. He was very busy!

Shi Zhifang thought that Su Qing was taking advantage of the witch every time he went upstairs. In reality, Su Qing was just the witch's private spiritual healer. Every time he went upstairs, he would have a lot of yang energy absorbed by the witch!
It's only because he's managed to hold on until now that he's lasted this long. If it were that Shi Zhifang, he would probably have been drained dry in one go!

The witch, whose body had just been covered in frost, was touched until her skin became fair and rosy again.

When he slowly woke up, he didn't even bother to put on his clothes and continued the conversation from before.

"Don't go to that Penglai Immortal Path to attend the He family's recruitment ceremony! You can't afford to offend the He family's daughter!"

The witch solemnly reminded him again, and Su Qing, while helping her put on her robes, replied in a deep voice:
"I understand now. This family practices some kind of secret method of replenishing yin with yang energy. So, just like you are now, if you participate in their so-called recruitment ceremony, you will be completely taken advantage of by the female cultivators in their family, right?"

The ceremony for recruiting talented individuals was actually a ceremony for recruiting sons-in-law.

It is said that the He family holds a Dharma assembly every ten years to find a suitable husband for a female cultivator of marriageable age in the family.

In recent years, this family has been building up its reputation, wanting to find a partner for He Xinyan, who has recently advanced to the upper-grade Golden Core stage. Not only will the final winner be able to embrace the beauty, but any participant who performs outstandingly can also obtain magical artifacts, puppets, talismans, cultivation techniques, and even other female cultivators from the He family!
When Su Qing first heard that there was such a large-scale family in the cultivation world, he was stunned. After learning that this family had been doing things this way for more than a thousand years, he was even more amazed.

He knew that a Daoist partner wouldn't fall from the sky. The He family had such a grand vision that they must have some ulterior motive. Otherwise, this family wouldn't have sent their daughter away for a thousand years and still be one of the five great families of Penglai.

"It's good that you know what's what, so you won't think Yun'er is just jealous and trying to scare you!"

"Does the He family really know how to replenish yang through yin-yang cultivation? If they're that powerful, even my current physical body can't withstand it?"

"There was once a fourth-tier king general from the Central Plains Martial Kingdom who married into the He family. A hundred years later, when he was expelled from the He family, he was already withered and emaciated. His essence furnace was swallowed up, and he lost all his cultivation, making it difficult for him to cultivate again."

"Are sperm-sucking women really that terrifying? Then why is the family's talent recruitment ceremony still such a grand event in the Western Sea, attracting countless cultivators?"

"Not everyone can absorb like that. Normally, He family girls, like Sister Debao, can give benefits to their Daoist partners when they are in yin-yang union. But He Xinyan has the spiritual root of a goddess, so she can definitely absorb. Fellow Daoist Su, your ability is hard-earned, so don't let her benefit from it."

"Fellow Daoist underestimates me. I will certainly protect my body and wait until you reach the Nascent Soul stage before absorbing your essence. I will benefit you more than He Xinyan!"

Liu Yun'er rolled her eyes at Su Qing, rolled up her robe, cleared away the food on the table, and took out several valuable items from her storage bag.

"The West Sea is fraught with danger due to its high winds and waves, and its scenery is also different from that on land."

Yun'er knew that her fellow Daoist's puppetry skills were beyond even her own.

However, even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. In case you are short of the necessary puppet materials when you go to the Western Sea, these precious materials were collected by Xu Huaiyi and others by Yun'er over the past three years. You may take them all with you.

In addition, Fellow Daoist instructed Yun'er to diligently cultivate the Thousand Illusionary Body Technique. Yun'er has already cultivated it to the level of ethereal solidification. In the future, Yun'er will also follow Fellow Daoist's wishes and focus on cultivating this technique and the Yin-Yang Absolute Breath Slash.

Although you dislike Yun'er associating with the elders of the Demonic Sect, being in the Demonic Kingdom, it's inevitable that you'll have to deal with them insincerely. You don't need to take it to heart..."

As the witch spoke, her body shrank and she gradually fell silent.

Outside the Witch's Tower, Shi Zhifang, who was holding a magical monocular tube and squinting as he watched the two figures gradually merge on the tower, felt as if his heart was being torn apart, more painful than death.

After more than half an hour, Su Qing, who had done everything except the most important thing, took out two third-tier puppets from his storage bag with a righteous air.

"What is this, Yun'er's service fee? Fellow Daoist Su is really generous!" The witch, who was rinsing her mouth with spiritual wine, spat and cursed with a flushed face.

"Although the Western Sea is dangerous, the Demonic Sect is not a good place either. Although Master Li is respectful and has great talent and strategy, he will not harm you for the time being."

However, since the Demon Sect has integrated the power of the two immortal kingdoms and befriended the demon kingdom, it will inevitably clash with the immortal kingdoms such as the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom, the Earthly Treasury Buddha Kingdom, and the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom in the future. Since you enjoy the respect and worship of this sect, you will inevitably have to serve this sect in the future.

War is fraught with danger. These two puppets—one a third-tier ferocious beast-type escape puppet, Tiger Head Ben, and the other a third-tier illusionary mind-type combat puppet, Demoness—will provide you with protection, fellow Daoist. With these two puppets protecting me, I can be more at ease on this voyage!"

Just as the witch said, Su Qing is indeed magnanimous.

Before leaving, he possessed a third-tier tiger-headed Mercedes worth tens of millions of spirit crystals, which had the ability to briefly ignore the spiritual pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator and escape unimpeded.

The Demoness, who imitated the original Demoness, possessed most of the abilities of the Golden Core Demoness. She was a Golden Core version of the Demoness created by him after touching the Demoness for three years. She was based on the fourth-order Illusion Heart Rune, which was the first imprint of his Fetal Transformation and Transformation. Even if Shi Lijing were to be in front of her, he would not be able to tell the difference between the real and the fake!

A masterpiece crafted with heart, a product far surpassing the precious materials and spiritual items that Master Fang has sent over the past three years.

Although he obtained the materials for crafting these two puppets from Shi Zhifang through the witch.

But let's just say that Su Qing was the one who ultimately delivered the gift to the witch!
