Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 332 The Two Beauties of the He Family, Distinguished Guests of the Red Mansion

The Red Sleeve Pavilion is no ordinary force.

Even if it hurts your kidneys, you still have to befriend them!

Su Qing gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, following Qin Cao forward. It wasn't to leave her name on the Flower Appreciation Platform or the entire Wanghai Tower, nor was it for the dozens of spirit stones given on each floor. She simply wanted to go to the sixty-seventh floor, meet the master of the tower, and pave the way for her future career in this city.

Using kidneys to pave a road is no easy feat.

From the 34th floor upwards, what you see and hear is no different from what you see and hear on the previous floors.

It's just that the intensity has increased by one level.

Within the world of talismans, there are only second and third-tier talismans. To pass through this building, one must escape from the first and third-tier talismans.

Inside the Jingguang Tower, there are hordes of second-tier elves and monsters, and even more difficult to conquer are the third-tier queen snakes.

Inside the array building, there was actually a third-order "Close to the Ends of the Earth" array, along with an illusory female cultivator formed by an illusion array. She played a game of hide-and-seek with him, chasing and fleeing for half a day before finally mounting her horse and completing the deed, thus passing the test.

Among the Qin Music Masters, there was a third-tier Qin Maiden who was a direct descendant of Qin Cao. Her Qin music could even break through the defenses of the Jiuli Qiongqi outside his sea of ​​consciousness and fall into his sea of ​​consciousness, resonating with his soul. The experience she gave him was a hundred times better than Qin Cao's.

Unfortunately, this woman also only sells her art, not her body, which is a bit of a disappointment. We can only keep moving forward.

It is worth mentioning that the items inside the 62nd floor are his princess-themed puppets.

That Fire Phoenix Princess was so unscrupulous, buying and selling a third-tier princess tiger and more than ten second-tier princess leopards to this building.

It's unclear how much of a profit he made, which made Su Qing extremely angry. He repeatedly emphasized to Qin Cao that if Yuanlai Tower ever needed such puppets in the future, they could just ask Su Qing for supplies, without having to go through that Fire Phoenix Princess or any middleman!

After overcoming numerous obstacles and defeating many enemies, thanks to the nourishing effects of the Jiuli and the third-tier physical body forged by the Qiongqi and Taotie, he finally reached the sixty-seventh floor after three days and nights.

Upon arriving at this building, Qin Cao had already quietly departed, revealing two cloud-shaped Dharma platforms within the building. Seated on these platforms were female Golden Core cultivators who looked alike and possessed similar temperaments, resembling twin lotus blossoms.

Upon seeing the two women, Su Qing felt a sense of déjà vu. After they spoke in unison, he immediately understood where this feeling came from.

"To be able to escape from Yunshan Immortal City and become close friends with the witch, Fellow Daoist Su is indeed extraordinary. In just five days and nights, he has arrived at this sixty-seventh floor."

Why should I, a mere novice, do this? Why should I, a mere novice, love this? For now, I am merely the mistress of the Red Sleeve Pavilion. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Su.

Why bother doing it? Why bother loving it? The He family's two beauties are a family that sucks your lifeblood!
No wonder that after going up to the thirty-third floor, not only do you not need to give spirit stones anymore, but you can also earn some spirit stones. It turns out that this family is using this as an opportunity to conduct premarital checkups and select a strong and energetic son-in-law like him as a future candidate!

"This humble Daoist Su Qing greets you two fellow Daoists. Compared to the He family of Penglai, my meager cultivation is like a mayfly looking at the blue sky—utterly insignificant and not worth mentioning!"

Su Qing carefully followed the witch's instructions, tightened her belt, and replied cautiously.

He had heard of the He family's twin daughters from the witch long ago.

Although the two women were not Nascent Soul cultivators, they were even more terrifying than Nascent Soul cultivators. In the past, the fourth-tier king general of the Central Plains Martial Kingdom was drained of his life force by these two women, leaving him emaciated and no longer recognizable as a human.

A fourth-tier body cultivator's essence furnace can transform the core of a world, creating an inner world within his body. Even a single world wouldn't be enough for these two women to absorb, so how could Su Qing dare to stand up and show off in front of them?

He quietly took half a step back, his face showing a wary expression.

These two women from the He family, I wonder what kind of secret technique they possessed, their speech and mannerisms were as if they were one person, like twins reflected in a mirror, both smiling as they spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Su, there is no need to be so nervous. My sister and I have no intention of choosing a Daoist partner for the time being. However, our family has decreed that anyone who enters the sixty-seventh floor has already met the basic requirements to become a son-in-law of the He family."

You will receive a ticket to the Talent Recruitment Ceremony. With this ticket, you can enter Penglai Immortal Island and the Jade Capital City to participate in the He family's once-in-a-century talent recruitment event. Fellow Daoist Su, please do not miss it.

This is a matter concerning the He family of Penglai, and has nothing to do with this Red Sleeve Pavilion. Whether you go or not after accepting the ticket, it does not change the fact that you are already a distinguished guest of my pavilion.

According to the rules of my establishment, any distinguished guest may make one request. If it is within the capabilities of my establishment, I will fulfill it for you!

As they were talking about why do it and why love it, a talisman with gold foil and a picture of the Moon Goddess fell into Su Qing's hands.

Using third-tier goddess talismans as tickets for the Dharma assembly is truly worthy of the five great families of Penglai. No wonder they can attract both money and attention.

Su Qing put the talisman ticket into his pocket, pondered for a moment, and then made a request that was neither too big nor too small.

"Having wandered for half my life, I have tasted all the flavors of cultivation, yet I have never found a place to settle down. Now, upon entering this precious land for the first time, I feel that this place is blessed with outstanding people and auspicious spirits, and I have the idea of ​​settling down here and living here permanently."

However, living in the Immortal City is not easy. I only have the skill of making puppets to rely on, so I want to open a shop in this city to sell puppets, so that I can make a living and also benefit the fellow Daoists in this city.

However, I've heard that to open a shop in this city, the joint signing of a license by Guibaolou, Yuanlailou, and Huanghunshe is required. I wonder if the two lords could help me with this matter?

Wanghai City is a place where wealth accumulates and money is swallowed up. Everyone knows that opening a shop here is sure to make a profit. Therefore, opening a shop in this city is extremely difficult.

According to the intelligence Su Qing gathered in the Demon Kingdom before coming here, and the information obtained from Rao Tingshan and others from the Digging Dragon Caravan.

Wanghai City has stood for ten thousand years and is known as the City of Integrity.

The merchants, having enjoyed a long period of prosperity, naturally cherish their reputation and are extremely afraid that those who are mediocre, fraudulent, and deceitful will come to this immortal city and tarnish its name.

Therefore, opening a shop in this city not only has high barriers to entry and strict audits, but also requires certain qualifications regarding the cultivator's background, cultivation level, and the goods sold.

After opening the shop, you must abide by all the rules of the Immortal City.

Durable items such as ritual implements and puppets can be returned or exchanged without reason within three years before activation, and after activation, a warranty service of ten or one hundred years will be provided.

Before serving a client, a spirit pattern master must fully explain all the taboos associated with spirit patterns to ensure the client understands the risks and consequences before drawing the talisman. For array masters who come to set up arrays, the service fee and material costs must be transparent and open; price gouging is not permitted.

If a talisman maker's talisman paper has even the slightest flaw, they will compensate three times the price for the fake. If a customer dies because of a flawed talisman paper, their family can seek compensation from the Immortal City Enforcement Team. Anyone who causes trouble with talisman paper will be held accountable for life.

In addition, customers who make purchases at each store can rate each store.

Immortal City conducts a star rating system for each store based on their annual sales and customer ratings, with five stars being the highest and one star the lowest. Stores without stars receive a yellow card warning and are at risk of being delisted at any time.

It can be said that Wanghai City has taken the principle of putting customers first to the extreme. As a result, it has attracted countless cultivators from the Western Sea cultivation world, as well as from many immortal kingdoms at home and abroad, to travel thousands of miles to trade here.

Su Qing is an honest businessman who hates those who cheat, swindle, and speculate. His business can withstand the supervision of the Immortal City and the reviews of customers. He is confident that he can run a five-star crown store.

The only fear is that the license is not easy to obtain, and then the shop will not be able to open.

“Bronze and silver medals can be obtained by Fellow Daoist Su by paying a hundred spirit stones as a deposit. Since you have come to my building for help, you are obviously not satisfied with selling first and second-tier goods. What you want is the gold medal that can be used to trade third-tier goods.”
Upon arriving in Wanghai City, most ordinary cultivators make a living by setting up stalls. Fellow Daoist Su not only wants to open a shop, but also wants to become a top-notch shop owner right away!
Such confidence must stem from a firm belief that one can bear the various taxes and fees of the Immortal City and still maintain a large customer base and a firm foothold amidst numerous competitors. In that case, this establishment will naturally give Fellow Daoist Su this opportunity.

Fellow Daoist, you may contact Qin Cao later and hand over the relevant information to her. We will then submit it to Huanghun Society and Yuanlai Tower for review.

"However, gold medals are hard to come by. In my Wanghai City, there is already a gold medal four-star puppet shop. Whether they agree to let you open a shop depends on your subsequent actions!"

After hearing Su Qing's request, He Bizuo and He Biai agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Since their Red Sleeve Pavilion doesn't deal in puppets, they don't need to worry about Su Qing competing with them for customers. Using this opportunity to befriend a third-tier powerhouse like Su Qing is also one of the purposes of building the Red Sleeve Pavilion.

As for the other objective, that cannot be forced.

"After the sixty-seventh floor, most of the buildings are occupied by female cultivators from my He family, who practice the Moon Invitation Goddess Technique. Fellow Daoist Su should have heard of it."

If you, fellow Daoist, go upstairs again, it will be the female cultivators of my He family who will take advantage of you. However, afterward, the female cultivators on each floor will give you corresponding compensation such as spirit crystals, spirit stones, magic weapons, and pills. We will definitely not let you suffer any loss.

Furthermore, if you are truly capable, you might even allow my daughter from the He family to accompany you downstairs. Thereafter, she can become your wife, concubine, or even a servant. The He family will not interfere in any of these matters and will allow you to dispose of her as you see fit.

"Fellow Daoist Su, would you consider going upstairs? You should know that if you can ascend to the ninety-ninth floor, both my sister and I will be at your service. If you satisfy us, all the related properties of this vast Red Sleeve Pavilion will fall into your hands!"

The two He sisters were quick-witted and outspoken, leaving Su Qing parched and her heart fluttering, yet she was unable to move.

The Moon Goddess Technique is even more terrifying than the Demon Sect's Jade Maiden Technique. No one knows what kind of hidden dangers will arise after being used by the He family's sperm-draining woman. Su Qing dared not take the risk and could only retreat with a forced smile.

Seeing that he was holding up his pants and not releasing the hawk, the two He sisters frowned and shook their heads, but did not offer much advice.

Ultimately, having tasted the power of a fourth-tier body cultivator, they had little interest in Su Qing, a half-baked third-tier body cultivator who struggled to control his internal energy. He was like a chicken rib—something to try, but not worth the effort.

······
"Fellow Daoist Su, you're really something, playing for seven days and seven nights straight! If everyone were like you, the Red Sleeve Pavilion would go bankrupt!"

"Does Fellow Daoist Su accept disciples? How do you train? What kind of pills do you take? Please take a look and see if I have the potential to be as brave and fierce as you!"

"But even with your skill, my wife would never stray from the wall!"

"Once you went upstairs, your name became famous throughout the city. Asu, you're a sensation!"

"Your reputation is renowned on the Flower Appreciation Platform, and all the heroes overlooking the sea know of you. Boss Su, you really are something else!"

As soon as Su Qing stepped out of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, she saw the cultivators coming and going giving her thumbs up, and the young women and wives passing by glanced at her shyly, then again, then several times.

Turning his gaze behind him, he saw Su Qing's dignified appearance clearly visible on the flower-appreciating platform, which was more than ten feet high, made of white jade and decorated with exotic flowers. He was ranked sixty-fourth among the senior sages who had once dominated the Red Sleeve Pavilion.

A flower's name is still a name, and having a name brings benefits.

Su Qing, far from being ashamed, was actually proud, and bowed to the assembled cultivators, saying:
"This humble Daoist Su Qing greets fellow Daoists. The seven-day flower tasting has concluded, and the Red Sleeve Pavilion truly lives up to its reputation. Someone may ask, how did this humble Daoist acquire such abilities?"

To my shame, I was born weak and breathless. I would pant after just a few steps, let alone ride a horse. This person asked again, since you were so weak before, how did you manage to become the person you are now?

If you're physically weak, you have to train. I specially crafted a batch of passionate puppets and trained them through the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer. With daily practice, I finally managed to hone my skills and acquire the abilities I have today!
What kind of puppet has such abilities? Look, everyone! This is the Princess Series Puppet, a unique skill of mine. It's even enshrined on the sixtieth floor of the Red Sleeve Pavilion. If you don't have the ability to climb up to this floor, feel free to come and buy from me!

"A scam? I've been selling puppets for years, always dealing honestly with everyone, young and old. If you fellow Daoists don't trust me, once I set up my shop, with the backing of Wanghai City, you can come and buy with complete peace of mind!"

Qin Cao frowned for a long time when she saw Su Qingtian shamelessly promoting his puppet in front of their patrons at Hongxiulou. When she saw that he was going so far as to set up a stall on the spot, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

“Fellow Daoist Su, if there is nothing else, please move to another place. With so many distinguished guests gathered in front of the gate, there are bound to be some clashes between them, which will inevitably put our establishment in a difficult position.”

Still hoping someone would help him get the license, Su Qing's expression hardened when he heard Qin Cao drive them away. He smiled apologetically at the crowd of fellow Daoists who had gathered around him, promising that once his puppet shop was up and running, he would give everyone present a friendly price before dispersing the crowd.

He reached out and summoned Qinghe, who had been waiting outside for seven days and nights.

"Fellow Daoist Qinghe is the appointed head manager of my Su Ji Puppet Shop. Fellow Daoist Qinghe will handle the relevant matters of opening the shop with Fellow Daoist Qincao."

Fellow Daoist Qin Cao, rest assured, our preparations are definitely complete, our skills are certainly up to standard, and our character is absolutely guaranteed.

Today we are proud to be a gold-medal shop; one day, gold-medal shops will be proud of our Su Ji shop!

Full of ambition, Su Qing sent Qinghe, who was pouting and puffing out her cheeks and thought he was not doing his job properly, to Qincao.

Turning around, he searched for that eccentric fellow Daoist in the crowd.

"Where is Fellow Daoist Feng? Where is my tomb raiding hero whom I hit it off with at first sight?!"
Lost? How did it get lost? Lao Liang, what kind of job are you doing? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Fellow Daoist Feng?
"Huh? Fellow Daoist Feng was caught by the Immortal City Enforcement Team for cheating?"
