Immortality begins with meditation puppets

He is, after all, a descendant of a true dragon, whose bloodline and supernatural powers are far beyond those of ordinary demons.

After a series of maneuvers by the phantom of the Black Dragon, the Fish Head Shovel was finally spared from immediate death.

However, these two are not comparable to ordinary fourth-order Great Evils.

Although he cannot control the spiritual power of heaven and earth with his Dharma form like other Nascent Soul cultivators, and use the spiritual power of heaven and earth to perform Taoist arts at will.

However, he seemed to possess boundless spiritual power within his body, allowing him to perform Taoist arts without any hindrance. He cultivated a wide variety of Taoist arts, each imbued with a power that was difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.

The phantom of the Black Dragon that drives the mountain can help the Fish Head Shovel block for a moment, but it cannot block it forever.

Just as the phantom of the Black Dragon that was chasing the mountain was gradually fading and about to disappear.

Gao Erqiang, who was already certain of victory, deliberately withdrew his cloud-like aura and spoke in a deep voice to the fish-head shovel, which was now covered in blood and had lost all its former imposing presence:
"Fellow Daoist, you have been suppressed in Wanghai for nearly five thousand years, nurturing fifty drops of true dragon essence blood. This is the blessing that Wanghai bestowed upon you. Today, you do not repent and intend to offend Wanghai again."

"I'll punish you lightly, taking all the fortune you gained from Wanghai over the past five thousand years. I'll take fifty drops of true dragon blood and five thousand dragon scales. With that, your grudges with Wanghai are settled. Now go and live a carefree life in the Western Sea. And don't ever come to the vicinity of Wanghai again!"

"You wicked Taoist, you've used such heavy-handedness! I admit defeat today and will lead my tribe away!"

The fish head shovel had not yet transformed into a dragon head, so its head was not yet that strong. It knew that although Gao Erqiang had taken away all the fruits of its five thousand years of cultivation, he had at least spared its life. At this moment, it was already a great fortune to be able to escape alive since it was no match for him.

But what about its people?

Its hundreds and thousands of plump, white-skinned offspring can help it fight for territory with other great demons in the depths of the Western Sea!

"Ah, Fellow Daoist Gao has made peace with this fish head shovel?"

I'm truly sorry, but I was underwater and unaware of the situation at sea. I got carried away with the fighting and didn't know how to control myself.

However, Fellow Daoist Fish Head, please don't be too angry. Those first-tier fish-dragon minor Daoists are still here for you; over a thousand are still alive!

While Yu Touchan was searching for the whereabouts of the clan, Su Qing emerged from the sea with five Tier 3 fish dragons neatly strung on his fishing rod. His storage bag at his waist was bulging, presumably containing the offspring of Yu Touchan!

"Hey! It's one thing for Gao Erqiang to bully me, but you, a mere third-level body cultivator, dare to slaughter my entire clan! You're infuriating! Today, I will grind you to dust!"

Fish Head Shovel had already suffered enough injustice today, and now it was about to explode at the slightest provocation. Just as it was about to drag its heavily injured body to kill Su Qing on the spot.

But then Su Qing casually pulled out one, two, three, five, seven or eight third-tier puppets from his storage bag.

There are two-headed mirage dragons, deep-sea dragons, abyssal sea monsters, storm-stricken ancient trees, aquatic giants...

These relatively normal third-tier puppets, although each one looked quite impressive, were not so terrifying in the eyes of a fourth-tier great demon.

What's worse, behind these puppets, Su Qing summoned a group of giant ghost children. Each ghost child carried a long, pointed exorcism missile, which looked like it could drill a hole in the fish-head shovel with a single shot.

If it were at its peak, the Fish Head Shovel would have been confident of taking down the puppeteer who was about to kill its entire family.

But it has been badly beaten by Erqiang, and it is unknown how Erqiang will react when it deals with Su Qing.

When you are weaker than others, even if you feel wronged to the point of tears, you can only swallow it down for the time being!

"Human cultivators have been too harsh on demons! Once I reach the depths of the Western Sea and find my dragon relatives, I will definitely get my revenge!"

The aggrieved fish-headed shovel silently murmured in its heart, then, carrying the remaining small fish-dragons that Su Qing had killed, it fled into the depths of the Western Sea.

"It's been a few years, and Fellow Daoist Su has indeed made more and more puppets. However, you can keep those Deep Sea Tyrant type puppets for your own use, but please don't let them spread. I don't want Wanghai City to end up like Baiyun Immortal City, blown to bits!"

Erqiang put the dragon blood and dragon scales into his storage bag, looked at Su Qing with deep eyes and smiled.

Su Qing was slightly taken aback, realizing that Gao Erqiang had sensed her use of the Deepwater Dragon to release the Deepwater Tyrant to blast fish underwater.

He secretly thought that the fourth-order Great Evil Fruit was far superior to the Golden Core, and its divine sense could probe far beyond a hundred feet in the deep sea. However, the Deep Sea Tyrant was not a secret to Erqiang, so it wouldn't matter if he saw it.

"No matter how many puppets I have, they still need to be made from the corresponding materials. How can they compare to the convenience of your boundless Daoist techniques, fellow Daoist!"

"Fellow Daoist Su, you overestimate me. I have not yet formed a Nascent Soul. I may be able to perform my own evil arts, but I cannot use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to perform my own Dao arts like a Nascent Soul cultivator. The spiritual energy I used to perform the Dao arts just now was obtained by cheating with spirit stones."

After Erqiang finished speaking, he opened his left hand and sprinkled a pile of spirit stone powder from his palm.

Seeing Erqiang's distressed expression, Su Qing inwardly grumbled.

Isn't it because you insisted on pretending, using your evil form to forcefully fight with Taoist magic? Who can you blame for the high fee?

However, the harvest was also great, including fourth-tier true dragon blood and true dragon scales, which are rare and precious materials!

"Fellow Daoist wants it?" Gao Erqiang saw Su Qing staring intently at him and knew what he was up to.

"One Deepwater Tyrant in exchange for three drops of true dragon blood and a hundred black dragon scales!" Su Qing's offer was sincere.

"Ten Deepwater Tyrants and twelve Dagger Missile Puppets in exchange for twenty drops of True Dragon Blood and a thousand Black Dragon Scales!" Erqiang countered decisively.

Su Qing didn't understand why Erqiang wanted the dagger missile puppet. Could it be that Erqiang really wanted to become Daqiang and overthrow the Earth Demon Heaven to become the ruler of the evil kingdom?
No matter what he does, he's good at this business!

The two of them returned to the treasure ship, chatting and laughing.
The cultivators on the treasure ship, having witnessed the two's recent achievements, were now showering them with praise without reservation.

"The evil god doesn't display his divine power; he only needs to use a little trickery to subdue dragons and tigers. It is truly a great blessing for all living beings that Wang Hai has the evil god under his protection!"

"The evil god fought for our Wanghai City just now, and the spirit stones he expended should be borne by the citizens of Wanghai City. We will immediately raise the full amount for the evil god's attack!"

"The evil god has only just entered Wanghai and is already able to take dragon blood and dragon scales. It is the perfect time to hold a grand auction and invite heroes from the Western Sea to Wanghai to witness the evil god's divine power!"

"Fellow Daoist Su is also very powerful!"

"Fellow Daoist Su is quite good!" "Fellow Daoist Su, do you sell those third-tier fish-dragons?"

"Five thousand spirit stones per stone? Fellow Daoist, you may be powerful, but you can't just snatch it from me!"

Although Gao Xieshen was gentle and polite, he was ultimately evil and not human, and was also a fourth-order being. He held a high position and great power, and his highbrow culture was appreciated by few. Most cultivators respected and feared him, but dared not get too close to him.

Su Qing, however, thought differently.

No matter how many tricks this person has up their sleeve, or how capable they are.

However, based on his behavior in Wanghai over the past six months, although he is ruthless and loves to rip people off, he is a businessman just like them.

They are approachable, easy to communicate with, and share common interests.

Therefore, during the return journey of the treasure ship, Gao Xieshen, who had just demonstrated his strength, was only accompanied by two or three loyal and mad dogs such as Xue Di and Hei Qingtian.

Su Qing, however, was the center of attention, transformed into a fishmonger, and sold the parts of the second and third-tier fish-dragons that he could not use for the time being to the cultivators at a high price.

"I'm only selling one of these Tier 3 fish-dragons. They're extremely rare on the market. I guarantee they're freshly killed. Five thousand spirit stones is already a bargain for you, fellow Daoist. If you keep dawdling, I'll sell them to fellow Daoists Bi Zuo and Bi Ai!"

"Don't even think about the fins, Fellow Daoist Rao will take them all. And Fellow Daoist Duan will also take the bones of this second-tier fish dragon!"

"Does anyone want fish eyes? Fellow Daoists He, would you like some? Is it said that swallowing this raw has the effect of strengthening virility and promoting sperm production? Then I won't sell it. I have a friend who is weak and feeble, and this is just what he needs!"

Gao Erqiang looked at Su Qing, who had rolled up her sleeves to sell fish, and turned to the Blood Emperor with interest, asking:
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Su recently demonstrated the prototype of a Heaven-level combat skill, and was born with a sword seed and a flawless sword heart?"

Upon hearing this, the Blood Emperor glanced at Su Qing, who was no different from a commoner and was extremely stingy with even a few spirit stones. Although he couldn't believe that this fellow could be a swordsman who was devoted to the sword and had no other thoughts, what he had seen that day was still vivid in his mind, so he dared not speak falsely to the two strong men.

"Indeed, that Gale Sword Leaf So is no ordinary swordsman. His Gale Sword Dao is highly refined and has long possessed the power of the Earth-level limit, yet he was defeated by Fellow Daoist Su with a single sword strike. Fellow Daoist Su's sword Dao is far beyond what I, Xiao Xie, can fathom!"

"Oh, this is a skill that Fellow Daoist Su has never shown before!"

Gao Erqiang's eyes brightened slightly. Although he was curious about where Su Qing had learned his swordsmanship, he gave up the idea of ​​testing him.

A gentleman treats others with sincerity, and Erqiang is a gentleman. Since he has no intention of being an enemy of Su Qing for the time being, there is no need for him to test Su Qing.

Just keep in mind that this Fellow Daoist Su still has the strength to cooperate with me!
The Western Sea is vast enough to accommodate Gao Erqiang, and it can also accommodate this Fellow Daoist Su!
······
Time flies when you're on a spiritual journey; thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of thirty years, major events have occurred in various parts of the Western Sea.

Within the Myriad Demon Kingdom, a fourth-tier phoenix tree grew into a fifth-tier divine tree in the Undying Mountain. At that time, all the plants and trees in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range bowed down and paid homage to the divine being. From then on, the Myriad Demon Kingdom had a fifth-tier Nascent Soul level being, giving it the capital to compete with cultivators from all sides of the Central Plains and the Western Sea for the power of the Heavenly Origin.

The myriad demons within the realm were suddenly shaken, and they rampaged east and west with unbridled arrogance.

Faced with the pressure from the Demon Kingdom, the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom had no choice but to join forces with the nearby Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom to resist the invasion and infiltration of the Demon Kingdom.

The news of the emergence of the Nascent Soul realm within the Ksitigarbha Buddha Kingdom was known to all cultivators in the Western Sea. Led by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Penglai Sect, many immortal kingdoms joined forces and rushed to the Ksitigarbha Buddha Kingdom, intending to develop this Nascent Soul realm together with the Buddha Kingdom.

The Demon Tree Evil Kingdom has closed its borders, preventing humans and evil spirits from entering or leaving. The evil aura within its borders is chilling and turbulent, as if the Earth Demon Heaven is about to break through the fifth-order barrier, causing panic among the people of the Western Sea.

Three Nascent Soul cultivators from Penglai Immortal Island went to investigate, but they were all severely injured and forced to retreat. They revealed with terrified expressions that it was only a matter of time before the Earth Demon Heaven broke through to the fifth-order Great Evil. They had watched this evil grow to its current state in the Western Sea, and now it was time for them to bear the consequences.

The Western Sea is also in turmoil. First, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Huang family of Penglai failed to obtain Langya Immortal Island and was instead trapped on the island by the island's lord, Tong Chang, with his fate unknown. This prompted another Nascent Soul cultivator from the Huang family to descend from the sky with his entire clan, intending to flatten Langya Immortal Island. The two forces are currently in a standoff, and a major battle could break out at any moment.

Deep in the Western Sea, the evil spirits that have been causing unrest on Penglai Island and the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom in recent years have not subsided and are only getting worse.

After Liu Shenyang, the Supreme Elder of the Penglai Sect and a Nascent Soul cultivator, fought against a fifth-order demonic Buddha in the depths of the West Sea, he was severely injured and retreated back to Penglai Immortal Island. The evil spirits in the West Sea became even more rampant, reaching the point of devouring islands and ships, and trying to drive human cultivators out of the West Sea.

Besides the evil spirits causing trouble, a fifth-tier sea demon, known as the Overturning Sea Demon Saint, has emerged from the depths of the Western Sea. He has summoned all the demons in the sea to fight against the evil human cultivators, turning the situation in the Western Sea into chaos. This has led the Penglai Immortal Kingdom and the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom, who have been fighting for countless years, to put aside their past grudges and join forces to fight the evil sea demon.

However, for some reason, the Penglai Immortal Island has not completely lifted the anti-flight decree. It has only made a slight concession, allowing cultivators to escape into the air for tens of thousands of feet. Above that, cultivators from other sects are still not allowed to set foot.

In just thirty years, chaos broke out in various parts of the West Sea, and Wanghai City could not remain unaffected.

After the fish-head shovel retreated, a great evil being called the Western Sea Heavenly Mother was born near the sea. This great evil loved to sing loudly in the dark of night, and all who heard her voice could not escape being corrupted by her and turned into evil spirits to be driven by her.

Gao Xieshen went out to sea to fight him several times, and even when he transformed into his evil form, the Blood Floating Pagoda, he still couldn't defeat this evil. Fortunately, there was also the puppeteer Su Qing in the city, who crafted a series of exorcising puppets. They worked seamlessly with Gao Xieshen to defend Wanghai City like a fortress, preventing the West Sea Heavenly Mother from harming Wanghai City.

While the Western Sea was in turmoil, the relatively less chaotic Wanghai City had become the first choice for many rogue cultivators to settle down in the past thirty years. Instead of being desolate, the city was even more prosperous.

This day.

It was the day the Wanghai Grand Auction was to be held.

This grand auction should have been held thirty years ago when the God of Evil descended upon the Western Sea.

However, due to the chaos in the Western Sea, the event was repeatedly postponed. Finally, a month ago, Gao Xieshen and Su Qing joined forces to drive the Western Sea Heavenly Mother out of the vicinity of Wanghai, temporarily resolving this major threat to Wanghai. With this great victory, and at the call of the city's top shops, the auction that Wanghai cultivators have been looking forward to for many years was finally held today.

This grand event also attracted the attention of many immortal kingdoms, with Nascent Soul cultivators and Golden Core masters coming together, making the auction even more prestigious.

Hei Qingtian didn't sleep all night, leading a group of law enforcement officers to run around the auction venue, trying to eliminate any destabilizing factors that might affect the normal conduct of the auction.

"My lord, there is no need to be so nervous. In preparation for this auction, we have been working to restore order to the city for over a month. All the thieves and robbers in the city, those who have committed crimes in the past, those who are planning to commit crimes now, and those who may commit crimes in the future, have been wiped out by us. Even if there are any problems with this grand auction, it is by no means our fault!"

Bai Wuchang rubbed his tired old face and told Hei Qingtian to stop nitpicking!
"This is all we can do, but why is my heart still beating so fast!"

This auction is likely to go wrong!

As dawn broke and cultivators gathered, Lord Qingtian of Wanghai City prayed for the people of Wanghai City for the first time! (End of Chapter)
