Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 331 The Scenery Inside the Red Sleeve Pavilion

Hongxiu Tower, your rival has arrived!
Su Qing, who was the biggest competitor of the Passion Puppet and wanted to compete with the Red Sleeve Pavilion for customers and revenue, entered the Red Sleeve Pavilion with a learning mindset.

Upon entering the first floor, one is immediately struck by the misty, foggy atmosphere and the pervasive moisture.

However, each bath is an independent hot spring bath filled with first-class spiritual spring water, equipped with body massage and acupressure, and various professionals such as spirit pattern masters and dream architects provide services such as nail art, tattooing, and hypnosis.

The female cultivators who moved about inside were of all shapes and sizes, each with their own unique charm. Most of them were completely naked, exuding allure, while those who were dressed in cloth were mostly wearing vulgar and inappropriate clothing.

As the pinnacle of the service industry in the West Sea, the Red Sleeve Pavilion, where skills are used to achieve enlightenment, can be called the "Red Sleeve Pavilion of Artists."

The service on the first floor was impeccable, but for Liang Haishun and Feng Bo'e, two seasoned gourmets who had seen it all and lived to see a hundred years and fought in a hundred places, it was nothing special. At least, the ten spirit stones they spent should not have been spent on this floor.

As the three were watching, a beautiful female cultivator, dressed in a long, sheer dress, her breasts partially exposed, and her long legs clad in stockings, gracefully approached.

"This floor is a rest area, mostly occupied by ordinary women. If you cultivators get tired of playing upstairs, you can rest and recuperate here. The best part of this building is upstairs. Cultivators, please follow Ren Cha upstairs."

Ren Cha's words were like the tinkling of a spring, clear and melodious, quite different from the soft and seductive voices of ordinary courtesans. Her pair of bright eyes looked over, and each of the three men found something to appreciate.

In Liang Haishun's eyes, this woman was gentle and weak, and he wanted to cherish her and treat her with great care.

In Yu Fengbo'e's eyes, this woman was aloof and noble, and he wanted to trample her underfoot and ravage her to death.

In Su Qing's opinion, this woman has a unique voice and lively eyes, which could perhaps be incorporated into the Passion Puppet.

Ren Cha appeared outwardly calm, but in reality, she seemed somewhat afraid of Su Qing. During the journey, she spoke softly and gently to Liang Haishun, but rarely showed any affection to Feng Bo'e or Su Qing.

It's not that she likes old things.

It was because Feng Bo'e carried the rotten stench unique to tomb raiders that he was unwilling to serve him, while Su Qing exuded a terrifyingly powerful aura that made people afraid of being toyed with to death, so he dared not serve him.

In contrast, Liang Haishun, who was old but not necessarily strong, was the one she served the most.

Unfortunately, although Liang Haishun made advances toward her all the way, he had no intention of spending a night with her.

It's not that she's not good enough, it's just that Lao Liang wants to make the ten spirit stones more cost-effective.

I strolled up to the second floor.

Inside, however, were all sorts of talismans and symbols.

The painting depicts celestial palaces, sacred mountains and continents, and numerous renowned female cultivators from the Western Sea cultivation world, who gracefully emerge from the painting and exchange flirtatious glances with the group.

Su Qing even saw a portrait of Princess Fire Phoenix sitting upright and majestic in the princess's palace.

"This building is called Talisman World. Inside are all first-order talismans. The female cultivators in the paintings are all with the consent of the person or her descendants before the talisman painting master can draw them into the paintings. All of you cultivators, there is no need to worry about being tainted by karma because of this."

Within this building, you may freely choose any location, any person, and any sanctuary to savor the beauty of a female cultivator!

The talisman painter was morally corrupt, turning what was originally a serene and elegant art into such a vulgar thing.

Su Qing looked at it with disdain, only admiring it briefly before stepping forward.

Although Feng Bo'e and Liang Haishun lingered there, they thought that if they only persisted to the second floor, the other two fellow Daoists would look down on them, so they stubbornly persisted to the third floor.

Upon entering the third floor, all that could be seen were creatures of spirits and monsters.

The kind-hearted Lotus Maiden, the shy and timid Lotus Maiden, the resolute and stubborn Stone Maiden, the enchanting and alluring Candle Maiden...

"This building is called the Jingguang Building. It contains 326 kinds of first-tier spirits and 217 kinds of first-tier monsters, all of which have been fully trained by our building and are available for all cultivators to collect at will."

Bah!
This building must be a major client of Yuanlai Building. Most of the goods from that digging dragon in Raoting Mountain have probably been dumped here!

It's filthy, so filthy!
Su Qing was furious and filled with hatred!

For him, today was not a day to spend money, but a day to probe the strengths and weaknesses of his competitors.

He had only just reached the third floor when he felt utterly defeated by the Passion Puppet.

An illusion, it must be an illusion!

It's just a matter of the first three steps; the floors above might not be as exciting as these first three floors!
With an indomitable spirit, Su Qing rushed into the fourth floor.

"This building is named Tianlong Tower, meaning that true dragons spread their seed throughout the world. There are thousands of demon women and beast women in this building, such as cat women, tiger women, beautiful snake women, and holy deer. Their races and characteristics are different, and their service methods are different. Please read the user guide before you use it."

Why bring so many vixens? Whose kidneys can handle that?

The service is overflowing! Do you really have to push this hard?!
Go up to the fifth floor.

"This building is called the Dream Tower. There are second-level dream architects in the building who can customize exclusive dreams for people and even enter the dream to serve you high cultivators."

What a price must have been paid for a second-tier Dream Weaver to do something as despicable as entering a dream with their own body!
Su Qing glanced at the late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, looked at the gentle and charming second-tier Dream Weaver, imagined the many evil deeds of the Red Sleeve Pavilion forcing women into prostitution, looked at her with disdain, and then personally experienced it.

"My daughter has an elderly father with hidden injuries, and a younger brother who refuses to grow up. She once had a Daoist partner, but he spent his days indulging in debauchery, often beating and scolding her, and also owed her hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, which my daughter needs to repay."

Left with no other choice, I have humbled myself before this Red Sleeve Pavilion, hoping only for your pity, fellow Daoist.

The Dream Weaver's words, "Pear blossoms in the rain," stirred Su Qing's heart with pity. However, she kept her storage bag tightly closed and did not buy the expensive pills that were extra in the dream as she had wished. She only had a pleasant dream that was neither too deep nor too shallow. After half an hour, she continued to walk upwards.

By this time, he had already parted ways with fellow Daoists Liang Haishun and Feng Bo'e. These two unambitious fellows had already succumbed to the entanglements of those lotus maidens and stone maidens on the third floor. Their willpower was simply too weak, and Su Qing was ashamed to be associated with them.

He climbed to the seventh floor alone, only to find that it was enclosed by a formation.

It's like being in a bustling city, with the crowd seemingly right in front of you, but those outside can't see anything inside—a truly thrilling intermediary experience.

The Bewitching Illusionary Mind Array can reveal the most exquisite aspects of one's inner world. The Locking Essence and Strengthening Yang Array can allow one to fight for another three hundred rounds.

"It's similar to the formation that the Joyful Sect uses to spread out its internal energy. I don't know who learned it from whom. It's nothing but a trick to deceive people's minds, without any sincerity whatsoever."

However, to be able to set up an intervening formation, this formation master is a rare spatial formation master. Such a talent would be a true disciple even in the Yunshan Sect, yet he serves this building. The Red Sleeve Pavilion must have some unknown background to possess such a foundation!

Spatial runes are difficult to learn and master. Even if one has some understanding of them, in order to apply them to puppets, talismans, and formations, one must use other runes in conjunction with them. There are countless obstacles and difficulties involved, and it is impossible for anyone other than a true disciple of a great sect to comprehend them.

For example, he himself had upgraded the spatial rune to the fourth level, and now he could only use this rune in combination with material runes to make it as big as he wanted, change its shape, and have the power to transform the heavens and the earth.

The goal is to combine it with the Illusionary Heart Rune to create a surveillance puppet that seems to exist in this world but is actually in another, and to combine it with the Five Elements Rune to create a Spirit Thorn Puppet that can use the Five Elements to escape through space. However, this has not yet been achieved, and the corresponding method must be exchanged in the Heavenly Rune Hall.

The array master of this building is able to integrate spatial runes and illusionary runes to set up this intermediate array, which is already quite remarkable. Although he is only at the first level, his talent in array formation is by no means inferior to that senior brother Yuan from the Yunshan Sect.

The array master was quite skilled, but the things formed by the array were ultimately illusory. At least the dream architect on the sixth floor entered the dream with his body, but this array master had never even shown his face, leaving him feeling bored and prompting him to continue upwards.

On the eighth and ninth floors, spirit binders displayed their exquisite skills, and weapon refiners displayed numerous artifacts.

Su Qing only took a brief look and did not linger.

I went straight up to the tenth floor and met the girl Qin Cao, whose music could make people feel like they were in heaven, despite the storms and evil words around her.

This woman was dressed in a red dress, holding a zither. She was slender and delicate, with a charming yet refined appearance. She possessed the cultivation of a second-tier superior zither player, and the music she played could linger for three days, leaving people wanting more and stirring their souls.

Those whose spirits are not strong may experience the ultimate bliss upon hearing a single zither melody, but their spirits will inevitably be damaged. Therefore, Qin Cao, the young lady, also bears the important responsibility of guiding second-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and persuading first-stage Qi Refining cultivators to give up.

"The Hundred Phoenixes Blowing Birds Melody is truly remarkable. Miss Qin Cao's musical skills are superb. She must come from a prestigious family and have been guided by a master to achieve such skill. I am fortunate to have heard this piece, so these ten spirit stones were not wasted!"

Su Qing respected anyone with exceptional skills. After hearing this woman's music, he not only praised her but also generously gave her a thousand spirit crystals as a reward. This was quite a generous gesture for him, which showed how well Qin Cao's service had won him many hearts.

"Fellow Daoist Su's soul is exceptionally strong, far surpassing that of ordinary people. Qin Cao just suffered some hardship at your hands. Therefore, Qin Cao will shamelessly accept these thousand spirit crystals!"

Qin Cao gave Su Qing a resentful look; she had just suffered quite a bit.

Originally, seeing Su Qing's exposed energy, she assumed he was a brute who mainly cultivated his physical body and had no achievements in the path of the soul.

If you underestimate them, you will suffer the consequences. Using the sound of the zither, I want to explore their sea of ​​consciousness and soul. As before, I want to stir their desires and thoughts so that I can use the zither strings to pluck their heartstrings and stop them on the tenth floor, so that I can add to my achievements.

Unexpectedly, before her divine sense could even enter her sea of ​​consciousness, she saw a ferocious witch god, a hideous monster, a soaring fire phoenix, and many other manifestations of stars, sun, jade flowers, divine mountains, and vast seas chasing after her in the sound of the zither, pressing her so hard that her body trembled violently and she showed signs of her soul collapsing.

If it weren't for this gentleman's great mercy in withdrawing his divine power, she would have been ruined by him today after years of performing on the zither!
"Since Miss Qin Cao sells her art but not her body, I will not force you. Let us continue upstairs. Please take good care of yourself here!"

Despite being in a place of pleasure, he remained chaste.

Although Su Qing admired her musical skills, he disapproved of her professional ethics and did not want to say much to her.

“Fellow Daoist Su, please wait. There are many taboos above the ninth level. You need a special person to guide and remind you before you can go. My soul is injured today and I can no longer serve other fellow Daoists. If you don’t mind, I can guide you.”

Qin Cao put away her zither, walked gracefully to Su Qing, and after he nodded, she smiled and led the way.

"From the eleventh to the thirty-third floor, all are related to the application of various arts and crafts, and are all the exquisite techniques of second-level professionals. Those whose physical bodies have not reached the second level and who have not established their foundation and entered the Dao cannot fully enjoy the experience."

"But with Fellow Daoist Su's abilities, you can certainly visit all these floors. My daughter will not hinder your enjoyment and will wait for you on the thirty-third floor!"

Qin Cao led Su Qing to the eleventh floor, gave her a graceful bow, and then vanished, leaving Su Qing and a Foundation Establishment female cultivator staring at each other.

This woman is a cultivator from the Demonic Sect, possessing the Xuan Chi Yu Nu Gong (Mysterious Jade Maiden Technique) and is also a second-tier alchemist. During the process, she can feed the guest the pills he needs most at that moment, according to his needs.

By this time, Su Qing already understood that the Red Sleeve Pavilion was like a buffet. After paying a tasting fee of ten spirit stones, cultivators could freely sample the flavors of all ninety-nine floors.

If you are skilled enough, you will definitely make a profit with ten spirit stones. However, if you follow Liang Haishun or Feng Bo'e and only manage to climb three or five floors before you can't continue, then you can only say that you paid for knowledge, and you will definitely lose money.

Eating more means earning more, so Su Qing eats heartily without losing out.

I ate my way from the eleventh floor to the thirty-third floor, and when I saw Qin Cao again, two days and nights had passed.

"Qin Cao was right, fellow Daoist. Even though this establishment receives hundreds or thousands of guests every day, there are very few people like you who have climbed straight to the thirty-third floor and are still full of energy and vigor!"

Qin Cao praised Su Qing highly, her beautiful eyes roaming over her entire body, as if she had the urge to sell her art and her body.

But Su Qing had eaten too much, was a little full and greasy, and ignored her hints, even losing the urge to continue upwards.

But he didn't want to go up, while Qin Cao was anxious.

"Now that you have arrived at the thirty-third floor, it would be a pity not to go up. You should know that from the thirty-fourth to the sixty-sixth floor, you will receive ten spirit stones as a reward for each floor you go up."

Upon ascending to the sixty-seventh floor, one can even meet the owner of my establishment and leave one's name on the flower-appreciation platform on the first floor. From that point onward, entering my establishment makes one a distinguished guest, and no further payment is required.

"Not only do you not charge spirit stones for going further up, but you're actually giving spirit stones to a lowly cultivator? Isn't this taking advantage of me? That's not fair, is it?"

Su Qing never expected that Hongxiu Tower would operate in this way, and she couldn't believe that such a good thing existed in the world.

Qin Cao's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile:
"But that's not all. Wanghai City is jointly governed by two countries and has no city lord. Instead, it is governed by three major organizations: Yuanlai Tower, which represents the will of the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom; Huanghun Society, which represents the will of the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom; and Hongxiu Tower, which represents Wanghai City itself."

"If Fellow Daoist Su could become a distinguished guest of our establishment, it would surely make doing business in this city much more convenient!"

Su Qing suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder the Red Sleeve Pavilion charges ten spirit stones to enter, it's such a ruthless rip-off, yet so many cultivators still come to pay up.

This brothel has reached a new level; visiting it is like paying homage to a famous mountain!
