Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 318 Two-Headed Mirage Dragon, Nine-Sword Tiger Egg

[Puppet Name: Two-Headed Mirage Dragon]

[Type: Mythical Beast Puppet]

[Quality: Third Order Limit]

[Ability 1: Dragon Breath Mist. Two dragons breathe mist, weakening the senses of all living beings within this mist. The mist also possesses hallucinogenic, intelligence-depressing, and aphrodisiac effects. (Effects of Tier 4 Illusionary Heart Rune and Divine Beast Rune)]

"Pah! I asked you to tap into your bloodline potential, and all you've done is tap into an arousal effect?"
That's true. This ability is a traditional skill of the True Dragon race. Without it, how could the True Dragons have spread their seed across the world back then?

[Ability Two: Dragon's Breath - Two dragons breathe water, stored within the body or temporarily inhaled, then unleashed instantly using the energy stored in the dragon core within the body, creating extreme destructive power comparable to a level-four Dao technique! (Effect of the fourth-tier Mother River Rune)]

"Ultra-high pressure water gun, fully automatic, dual nozzles!"

[Ability Three: Sea Cloud Tower. The Mirage Dragon can conjure pavilions and palaces, resembling palaces on the sea. Once inside, it's difficult for any living being to distinguish between reality and illusion. Only a fourth-tier Nascent Soul cultivator can detect it, and even a third-tier Golden Core cultivator cannot detect it for a short time. (Fourth-tier Illusionary Heart governs space; material rune effects.)]

"A castle in the air, a bubble in the water, good heavens! If this were to appear at sea, anyone with a brain would not see anything wrong with it. But with a little analysis, they would know that this pavilion and palace is not right!"

You're kidding me, what kind of idiot would be so easily fooled!

Su Qing was extremely skeptical of this ability, so he specifically sought out Wei Debao, who among his fellow Daoists boasted of his exceptional wisdom and unparalleled bravery, to test it.

As he expected, the Haiyun Building alone was not enough to fool Brother Bao, but if it was combined with Long Tuwu, it would be a different story.

The clever Debao inhaled the mist, and his upper brain couldn't function properly, while his lower brain took over. He immediately felt as if he were in a dream, as if he had entered a heavenly palace. Even the gods couldn't have experienced such a feeling.

Inside that fake maritime building, Brother Debao stayed for three days and three nights without realizing it. During this time, both Dragon Spit Mist and Sea Cloud Tower would conjure up the most attractive things for the cultivators according to their own desires.

As a result, three days later, the entire shipping building was filled with all sorts of female cultivators, female beasts, female puppets, and special magical artifacts such as black pythons that amazed Helian Xian.

After Su Qing verified the effects of Haiyun Tower and Dragon's Mist, Wei Debao, who already considered himself a Nascent Soul cultivator, the master of a realm, and capable of manipulating countless living beings at will, was still unwilling to wake up from his dream.

He even regarded Su Qing as a mortal enemy who would destroy his cultivation and ruin his Dao fruit. He berated Su Qing at the entrance of Su's shop for seven or eight days before he finally realized what was happening.

Even the clever Debao brother unfortunately fell victim to the trap, which gave Su Qing a new understanding of the combined effect of the Dragon's Mist and the Sea Cloud Tower abilities, and he then tested it on Shi Zhifang.

What a wicked scoundrel! He actually imagined the witch Yun'er living happily ever after with him in that building, and he even dared to touch the witch's hand.

A wicked heart is never dead; his evil intentions are obvious. A filthy person can be easily exposed. This provoked Su Qing to enter the fog and give him a good beating. He beat him until the illusion turned into him trampling Su Qing under his feet and becoming arrogant. Only then did Su Qing let him go easily.

His thinking was exactly what Su Qing expected; it was better for him to be preoccupied with subduing her than with subduing the witch all day long.

It can be considered that he sacrificed himself for the witch once again!
[Ability Four: Lord of the Four Seas, following the ancient covenant, the true dragon's might can command sea beasts of the same or lower rank to serve him: one third-rank sea beast, eighteen second-rank sea beasts, and one hundred first-rank sea beasts. (Function of the fourth-rank Illusionary Heart Divine Beast Command Rune)]

"Sea fishing expert!"

The power of the Lord of the Four Seas made Su Qing tremble with excitement.

The vast Western Sea is full of treasures, but the greatest treasure is the countless sea beasts that are nurtured within it.

Countless sea beast hunters search for and hunt sea beasts in the depths of the Western Sea. Although many perish in the bellies of sea beasts, there are also legends of sea beast hunters who snatch up two second or third-tier sea beasts fighting to the death and become rich overnight.

These legends were deemed by the Thousand Islands Kingdom to be a treacherous scheme by the sea beasts to lure human cultivators into joining the sea beast hunters and thus provide them with food.

But as the saying goes, "those who live by the mountains live off the mountains, and those who live by the sea live off the sea." Over the years, countless passionate cultivators have exhausted their family fortunes to purchase various animal-hunting equipment and go out to sea to hunt animals.

This led the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom to believe that those unverified get-rich-quick stories were just empty promises concocted by sea monsters and equipment merchants to deceive people.

If Su Qing wants to stay in the Western Sea for a long time in the future, he would not mind becoming a sea beast hunter.

With this two-headed mirage dragon lurking in its lair, who can outhunt me?!

[Ability Five: Rope Dragon Head Strike, twin dragons lock and bind the enemy, the dragon heads can tear apart the enemy's physical body and soul. (Effect of a fourth-tier divine beast rune controlling a third-tier sealing rune)]

[Sixth Ability: Twin Dragon Heads Gallop. (Fourth-tier Divine Beast Rune controls Third-tier Swiftness, Third-tier Riding Rune effect)]

[Seventh Ability: Dragon Head Hammer. When necessary, one can pinch the dragon's tail and use its head as a hammer, treating it as a Tier 3 weapon for combat (Tier 4 material rune controls Tier 3 weapon rune effect)]

There are seven abilities in total.

Each has its own unique uses.

However, compared to the all-around Dragon Armor Demon Lizard, it is ultimately not perfect.

Su Qing was helpless in the face of this. He had done his best to refine the two-headed mirage dragon, but because the two young dragons had been harmed by the old evil spirit of Yunshan for many years, most of their dragon blood had been lost. When they came into his hands, they only had a little more dragon blood than the Demon Lizard King.

But the Demon Lizard King can wield the Vajra Leg Bone and, with the help of the Buddhist master's remains, generate several new abilities. Can this two-headed mirage dragon use its claws to hold the Vajra Leg Bone?
It doesn’t seem impossible?
Once the idea was in place, Su Qing immediately began to dismantle the master.

Because the two-headed mirage dragon had four claws, its original two thigh bones were simply not enough.

They could only ask the master not to blame them and remove two shin bones from his body.

The thigh bone already had fourth-order exorcism runes drawn on it, so there was no need to draw them again. However, considering that the size of the mirage dragon was not compatible with the master's, additional space and material runes were drawn on it so that it could grow bigger and smaller along with the mirage dragon.

On the shinbone, however, were drawn fourth-tier battle weapon runes, allowing the mirage dragon to wield them and unleash dragon combat techniques.

Thus, equipped with the master's leg bone, the improved and upgraded two-headed mirage dragon finally awakened new abilities.

[Ability Eight: Buddhist Guardian Dragon, the two-headed mirage dragon, empowered by the Vajra Leg Bone, can use Buddhist teachings to exorcise evil spirits and has a chance to attract the attention of Buddhist treasures and gain their favor. (Fourth-tier exorcism thigh bone effect)]

[Ability Nine: Vajra Subduing Demon Formation. The two-headed mirage dragon, enlightened by the Vajra leg bone in its hand, comprehends the fourth-tier Buddhist formation, the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation. The three two-headed mirage dragons working together can set up this formation, which has the power to subdue Nascent Soul level evil spirits! (Fourth-tier exorcising thigh bone controls fourth-tier combat weapon shin bone effect)]

[Ability Ten: Dragon Battle Across the Seas. Wielding a four-legged bone club with two-headed mirage dragon claws, he unleashes dragon combat techniques, sweeping away countless enemies across the seas. Few cultivators other than those at the third-tier superior physical cultivation level can rival him. (Function of fourth-tier divine beast runes controlling fourth-tier combat tools, shin bones)]

He received the master's blessing.

The two-headed mirage dragon eventually became an all-rounder, making it his top lieutenant.

No, he's the second key player.

Because the position of the top general was already occupied by a puppet.

He was the most diligent, studious, and competitive general under his command, the least troublesome, and the one who satisfied him the most!
After the battle with Yunshan Laoxie, although the Dragon Armor Demon Lizard died saving its master, Hudan barely managed to regain the throne of the master's number one battle puppet.

But Tiger Egg, ever mindful of potential dangers, knew that his once impoverished master had become incredibly wealthy after ruthlessly plundering the people's wealth during the two battles inside and outside the Jade Wall Cave.

They will surely go to extremes and rack their brains to transform this wealth into puppets, so as to usurp the throne of the first war puppet and hand it over to their fickle new favorites!

For three years, Tiger Egg had been studying mundane history books and knew how tragic the fate of capable ministers who were abandoned by the king after the cunning rabbit died and the hunting dog was cooked. To prevent it from suffering the same fate, Tiger Egg decided to study these books.

Tiger Egg must work a hundred times harder to make its owner unable to leave it!
Because the owner was self-reliant, he created his own furnace lid without needing anyone else's help, and no longer needed the tiger egg to create a temporary furnace lid.

Moreover, its physical body now possesses a third-tier cultivation level, making it even more resilient and durable than the tiger egg. Whether or not it is worn seems to be irrelevant.

Under these circumstances, Tiger Egg knew that in order to regain its master's favor, it had to do more than just practice its combat skills and consume gold essence to strive towards becoming a fourth-tier puppet.

The only way is to develop special abilities beyond the armored puppet!
Overtaking on a straight road is useless; overtaking on a curve is the real skill.

Who says a puppet can't practice swordsmanship?

For three years, Tiger Egg received guidance from ancient sword cultivators and powerful figures in the Heavenly Sword Crossing the West Map. After three years of hard work in swordsmanship, it has finally achieved some success!

Absorbing the legacy of ancient sword cultivators and combining it with his own strengths, he created a superior-grade Earth-level sword technique—the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Mountain Sword. He wields nine uniquely styled swords with the nine tails on his back, capable of setting up the Heavenly Mountain Sword Formation. With its omnipresent sword light, it can block any Daoist or combat technique attack. Furthermore, all nine swords can be unleashed simultaneously, like nine tigers descending from the Heavenly Mountain, unleashing a torrent of tiger-shaped sword shadows!

I didn't learn the idiom "tiger egg" well.

He is a swordsmanship prodigy!

After three years of arduous training in swordsmanship, he mastered the essence of swordsmanship within the Heavenly Sword Crossing the West Diagram. As a result, the diagram turned to ashes on the day it was completed. Clearly, the You family's judgment back then was correct; the diagram was indeed destined for Tiger Egg, but Tiger Egg was not destined for the You family.

The tiger egg, a fusion of ancient and modern elements, possesses the destructive power of a third-tier ultimate fighter when in its independent form, wielding nine tails and nine swords.

If he were to wear it, it would be able to temporarily imprint a very faint Heavenly Sword Dao pattern on the lid of the Quanxing Furnace, and he could also use it to perform sword techniques.

This is normal. Tiger Egg is a puppet he created, and everything about it belongs to him. What difference is there between Tiger Egg's sword comprehension, which it cultivated through its own efforts, and that of Su Qing's own cultivation?
It is the Heavenly Sword Technique that I have painstakingly cultivated.

Su Qing naturally wanted to equip him with the best magic sword.

But despite mobilizing all his connections and resources to search throughout the Demon Kingdom.

Unfortunately, there are very few sword cultivators in the Western Sea cultivation world, so few weapon refiners would create magical swords for sword cultivators.

There are some first and second-tier magic swords, but third-tier magic swords are almost extinct and nowhere to be found.

Only Princess Fire Phoenix, with the tyrannical power she had accumulated over many years of arrogant laughter within the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom, managed to borrow a third-tier Rainbow Magic Sword from a member of the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Later, I learned from that clansman that this magic sword was his family's heirloom. His ancestor had once gone to the Eastern Wilderness with six sword cultivators, intending to establish a new name for sword cultivators in the Western Sea cultivation world in the Eastern Wilderness, a sacred place for sword cultivators.

The sword cultivators of the Western Sea are no less skilled than others!
Clearly, the ancestors of that Fire Phoenix Clan member and their companions had never made a name for themselves in the Eastern Wilderness, because shortly after they left, sword cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness arrived with their remains and seven magic swords.

That swordsman from the Eastern Wilderness was also the one whose swordsmanship was witnessed by the ancestor of the You family, who obtained a trace of his sword intent and drew the Heavenly Sword Crossing the West Map.

Princess Fire Phoenix didn't care about the old story of the seven sword cultivators who had disappeared without a trace. She only knew that besides this rainbow-colored space, there were six magic swords scattered throughout the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom.

After laughing wildly six times, he borrowed six magic swords from six members of the Fire Phoenix Clan.

All seven magic swords were sold as a set to Su Qing, greatly increasing their value. This forced Su Qing to take out a third-tier princess wolf and a third-tier princess tiger to satisfy the Fire Phoenix Princess, who was at the age of being as fierce as a wolf and tiger.

Seven magic swords in hand.

These are the third-tier magic swords – the Rainbow Magic Sword, which can unleash the Earth-level sword technique, Rainbow Piercing the Sun!

The third-tier magic sword—Ice Soul Magic Sword—can be used with the Earth-level sword skill, Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers.

The second-tier magic sword—the Purple Cloud Magic Sword—can unleash the Xuan-level sword skill, Purple Qi Comes from the East.

The second-tier magic sword—the Thunderclap Magic Sword—can unleash the Xuan-level sword skill, Lightning Serpent Dance.

·······
With two Tier 3 magic swords as the main force, and the remaining five Tier 2 magic swords combined, the seven swords become one, and can also unleash the Earth-level ultimate sword skill - Heaven and Earth Coexistence.

With these seven magical swords in hand, Tiger Egg's power will be even greater.

Su Qing was still not satisfied, after all, the Nine-Tailed Fox still had two tails missing, and she had to find a way to make up for them.

Unable to find a suitable third-tier magic sword, they had no choice but to make do with the remains of the Buddhist master.

The master's arms were removed and shaped into magic swords using a casting puppet. Helian Xian then had to forge the swords by wearing their skins, which cost Helian Xian eighty years of his lifespan and delayed Su Qing's time by more than a month. The two Vajra Magic Swords were successfully forged.

The Vajra Sword can unleash the Earth-level sword technique – Universal Buddha's Light!
Thus, before the tiger egg with nine tails and nine swords could forge a fourth-tier puppet, its position as the number one battle puppet was unshakeable.

Even the Deep Sea Dragon and the Two-Headed Mirage Dragon are far inferior to it in terms of pure combat!

How far is he from creating a fourth-order puppet?
It's way off!
For the past three years, Su Qing has dreamt every night of the day when the Refining Evil Furnace Child refined the Cloud Mountain Treasure Palace, and he regrets it so much that he wants to slap himself twice.

Too greedy!
However, even with Foundation Establishment cultivation, crafting a third-tier puppet requires spending money and using tricks to obtain spirit stones. How could they dare to set their sights on a fourth-tier puppet?
The most basic requirement for crafting a fourth-tier puppet is to possess the power of a peak Golden Core cultivator. In fact, most of the few fourth-tier puppeteers who have ever appeared in the Western Sea were Nascent Soul cultivators. Only those with the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator can confidently craft a fourth-tier puppet.

He hasn't even won over the Widow Island Lord yet, and the Star Sun Dolls haven't even taken their places. At the current pace of the meditation dolls' cultivation, it would take at least a hundred years to break through to the peak of the Golden Core stage. This is an optimistic estimate assuming he successfully breaks through to the Golden Core stage and that the meditation dolls can still function normally after that.

Besides lacking magical power.

Where can he find the core of a fourth-order puppet, the demon core of a fourth-order true king, the true spirit of a fourth-order spirit, the spirit object that has formed an infant?

People are not enough to swallow elephants.

The magnificent Yunshan Palace contains many precious and valuable materials.

He smelted it into the shape of the Bixi from Dragon Island, and because it was Xiong Er who was hammering the puppet, the appearance was not very good, making it look even worse.

It can be seen but not used. Its only advantage is that it has drawn fourth-order Illusion Heart Runes, which, combined with the effects of the treasures on its body, can emit the aura of a Nascent Soul.

It has an aura, but no real power; it can intimidate people, but it can't oppress them!
Its effectiveness is extremely limited.

But if someone with a weak heart were to suddenly pull out this big treasure, it could scare them to death!
Something is better than nothing, that's the only way Su Qing could console herself for the time being.

There is currently no hope of creating the Bixi (a mythical tortoise-like creature) on Dragon Island.

Within the Western Sea, there are Nascent Soul cultivators, fourth-order great evil beings, and many indescribable fourth-order sea beasts.

With all the preparations he had made, very few beings below the Nascent Soul stage could threaten him, and above the Nascent Soul stage, all his preparations were in vain.

Going to sea is risky, and one must be cautious when boarding a ship. To be on the safe side, over the past three years, he has created a thousand substitute dolls and thousands of little green dolls for himself.

It must be said that True King Tianpeng was too hot-tempered. He fought against the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom for three years. In addition to mobilizing the Yunpeng Clan to serve, he also summoned many of the Tianpeng Clan's third-tier Golden Peng King and second-tier Little Peng King.

Isn't this practically offering Su Qing materials?

Su Qing didn't stand on ceremony with him and had the witch come forward, spending over a thousand spirit stones to purchase a thousand third-tier Golden Roc feathers and over three thousand Roc King feathers.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to buy more; it was mainly because True King Tianpeng had a limited number of children and grandchildren, and during the great battle, many protected others. The elders of the Desire Demon Sect weren't very dedicated either, so he only killed so many. All the feathers were swept away by him, and that was all.

To Su Qing's surprise, during the process of refining the second-tier substitute doll, as the doll's proficiency was maxed out, the panel finally produced the blueprint for the third-tier substitute doll.

【Puppet Name: Immortal Doll (Advanced Substitute Doll)】

[Type: Bionic Spatial Puppet]

【Quality: Level 3】

[Function: The puppeteer is shielded from attacks that are fatal to those below the fourth rank. It also creates spatial turbulence around the puppeteer, redirecting all subsequent attacks within thirty breaths and moving the puppeteer beyond the reach of a Nascent Soul cultivator to prevent them from pursuing.]

[Required material: One drop of your own semen]
Star and Sun Essence (Since the puppeteer himself possesses the Star and Sun Spiritual Root, Star and Sun Essence is essential for creating a puppeteer with bio-like abilities; each puppet requires thirty-six catties).

Heavenly Roc Feather (A Nascent Soul cultivator's spirit merges with heaven and earth, allowing them to perceive distances in the tens of thousands of miles. To teleport to a place tens of thousands of miles away in a day or two, only a fourth-tier Heavenly Roc Feather can do it, and each one requires one Heavenly Roc Feather).
Tier 3 Ethereal Bamboo (one piece)
Three-tier Tiankui Water or Songren Water (7.8 jin)

Three-tier Sky-Crossing Stone (one)

[Note 1: The Immortal Doll is bound to the puppeteer by a life-or-death pact, and can only be used by the puppeteer.]

[Note 2: The Immortal Doll does not possess the ability to traverse between realms. If trapped within a minor realm, it can only move and teleport within that realm.]

[Note 3: These "immunity dolls" are destroyed after one use, cannot be repaired, and cannot be reused.]
