Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 371 Deep Sea
For twenty years, I have lived in Wanghai, where the puppet factory operates day and night, and all kinds of puppets are sold far and wide, both at home and abroad.

When it comes to making money, it really is making money.

But for him to accumulate so many puppets in just twenty years is truly wishful thinking.

He bought most of the materials for these puppets with spirit stones.

Most of it was thanks to the generous donations from friends.

For example, the Snake Dragon, the Giant Whale, and the Jiaolong.

These three types of puppets are the core of the Wanghai Puppet Fleet that he created single-handedly.

When he was helping Wanghai prepare for this fleet, he reported a success rate of 30%, which was already very conscientious. At least none of the Wanghai merchants who crowdfunded the fleet had any objections.

But what is his actual success rate?
To put it simply, once Wang Hai's puppet fleet is completed, he will have amassed two fleets for himself.

If it weren't for the fear that the Wanghai family would become suspicious upon seeing these two fleets, when the Western Sea Heavenly Mother came to Wanghai to cause trouble last time, he could have sent out all three fleets and defeated the Western Sea Heavenly Mother without needing Erqiang.

As for the golden-haired water lion, that's the favor of the demon king's lion brother.

Ever since witnessing the majesty of the Four Lions of Emptiness, Brother Lion has been thinking day and night about having Su Qing forge a few for him as well.

Since Brother Lion wanted sincerity, Su Qing couldn't refuse. He only guaranteed that for every forty corpses of Brother Golden Lion and forty drops of True King Green Lion's essence blood, a set of Void Four Lions could be made.

The rest was left to Good Lion Brother. He killed or sent away his golden-haired brothers who needed to be killed, and even drained the blood of his father, the True King, and sent it all to his good brother, Su Qing.

Thanks to the gift from his good brother Lion, Su Qing was able to refine a total of twenty-four Golden Lions that could be combined into a team, making them sea tyrants and land lion kings.

As for the True King's essence blood, it was not wasted. It was all fed to the Four Lions of Nothingness, along with other precious materials, to upgrade the Four Lions of Nothingness to the fourth level!
"While I, Su Qing, owe my success today entirely to my own efforts, I must admit that my good fellow Daoists and my good Lion Brothers also deserve some credit!"

Su Qing was a grateful person. Since he had benefited from his good fellow Daoists and good brothers, he naturally had to give them something in return.

For example, helping Wang Hai solve his biggest problem: the West Sea Heavenly Mother, who has been entrenched near Wang Hai's coast for many years and has been eyeing Wang Hai covetously!
"After refining the Dragon Island Bixi and becoming a fourth-tier puppeteer, my divine sense has been further enhanced. Now it has a divine sense strength comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, enough to pinpoint the location of the Western Sea Heavenly Mother!"

After twenty years of arduous cultivation, the progress made goes far beyond the puppet master realm.

In order to gain his help, the old Taoist priest has sent him a large number of fine stones every year for the years, which can be used by him to refine the Star Sun Doll.

Now, he has more than eighty Star Sun Dolls working for him in cultivation. His cultivation level is advancing by leaps and bounds. Twenty years have passed, and his cultivation level has reached the late Golden Core stage. The phantom of the Fire Phoenix in his sea of ​​consciousness has also grown stronger again. When it spews out, it is almost the same as a real third-order Fire Phoenix.

He also frequently refines various Dao patterns on his body to increase his proficiency in them. For example, the Transformation of the Embryo has now reached the third-order limit of completeness, allowing him to briefly manifest a fourth-order Nascent Soul.

Based on this Dao mark, after failing to acquire the Buddhist Vajra inheritance despite offering a large sum of money, he took the master thief Xiong Er to the Fulong Temple and successfully stole the Buddhist Vajra inheritance.
Heavenly-level cultivation technique, Nascent Soul stage – Buddha's Boundless Power.

Originally, he wanted to transform into Gao Erqiang and make Erqiang take the blame, but then he thought that Wang Hai still had his businesses, and after he left, Erqiang would still be needed to protect the peace of the city. Therefore, he found a new scapegoat - Pingxi Wuguo, who had threatened to kill him.

"That night at Fulong Temple, it seemed as if a divine sense was faintly locked onto me, or perhaps it was a Nascent Soul monk in the temple? He didn't bother me much, was it because he deliberately let me steal this inheritance?"

Su Qing shook his head with some doubt. Being cautious by nature, after stealing this inheritance, he secretly disguised himself and sought out many experts and appraisers from Baibaoge, Yuanlailou and other places to distinguish its authenticity.

Even when he went to the Demon Kingdom to have an affair with the witch, he asked his good senior brother Shi Zhifang to inquire about his father, the sect leader. The knowledgeable Shi Lijing did not notice anything wrong with this technique.

Having put aside his doubts, Su Qing has diligently practiced this skill for the past twenty years.

Perhaps it's because he has excellent physical constitution and aptitude, or perhaps it's because he was already a third-level body cultivator with sufficient physical and blood foundation, and in addition, the Immovable King Technique he had previously cultivated was in line with this technique.

In short, after cultivating this technique for more than 20 years, he is not far from condensing his natal Dao pattern. Furthermore, with the help of the Nine Li Dao pattern's combat prowess, he has mastered all the Earth-level combat skills contained in this technique.

Now, without relying on puppets, his ability to cultivate both body and magic is enough to make him the strongest in Wanghai City, with only two others surpassing him. The rest of the third-tier Golden Core cultivators are nothing but worthless fodder in his eyes! "The innate Dao pattern condensed by the Buddha's Boundless Power depends entirely on personal fate. I don't know what kind of innate Dao pattern I can condense. I hope it's not the Merchant Dao Pattern, as this Dao Pattern doesn't enhance combat power at all."

Hmm? It's not impossible. If we can condense merchant Dao patterns, we can earn more spirit stones. More spirit stones mean more puppets, and more puppets mean stronger combat power.
"Regardless of what kind of natal Dao pattern I condense, as long as the main Dao pattern governs the Jiuli and Qiongqi Dao patterns, I can begin absorbing the Qiongqi Dao pattern within the Qiongqi tiger skin that Brother Lion sent me, and then go find that sea witch to upgrade the completeness of the Jiuli Dao pattern!"

The Qiongqi and Jiuli Dao patterns are both Five Elders Dao patterns that specialize in body cultivation. They are of great use to him. If given the opportunity, he would naturally want to improve the completeness of these two Dao patterns.

In the past, he had no natal Dao pattern to control him, and he was afraid that the two Dao patterns imprinted on his furnace lid would be too powerful to control. That's why he has been patient until now and has not converted the Qiongqi tiger skin or caused trouble for the sea witch!

Just as Su Qing was reflecting on his growth and achievements over the years and planning for the future.

His expression suddenly hardened as he sensed a slight fluctuation from the Western Sea Heavenly Mother!
This evil spirit has been roaming around Wanghai for many years. Su Qing has fought against it several times, but in the past, the two strong ones were the main force, and Su Qing assisted from behind by controlling puppets. He has never truly fought against this great evil spirit.

Furthermore, fearing that Erqiang would be wary, the Buddhist sect's three puppet groups—high-ranking monks, Bilian, and Gongde Muyu—were not sent out, which is why the evil spirit could come and go in Wanghai without being seriously injured.

"He sings loudly and uses evil sounds to bewitch people. Moreover, he is a fourth-order great evil. He must possess at least the Five Elders Evil Mark. I don't know if it is the Five Elders Dao Mark Howling Abyss or the Five Elders Dao Mark Netherworld Blood Sea transformed from it!"

Regardless of what it is, once the merit-based wooden fish has guided it to enlightenment, it will be mine!

Su Qing had long coveted the evil markings on the West Sea Heavenly Mother's body, and now that he was fully prepared, he would not let the opportunity slip by easily.

With a thought, the enormous body of the Dragon Island Bixi suddenly turned and sped off towards the southwest like an arrow released from a bow.

It really took flight.

The enormous tortoise floated in the sky like a floating city, spewing out violent air currents from its tail, which slammed into the giant half-human, half-snake evil spirit that was thousands of miles away just moments before, but was now right in front of her just moments later!
"Aaaaaah!" Even though Qinghe had seen many storms, she still hadn't developed a strong enough heart. When the bixi (a mythical tortoise-like creature) crashed down from the sky, she frantically grabbed onto the pillar-like object she could reach. Before she could finish screaming, a crack appeared in the deck beneath her feet, pulling her into the cabin to prevent her from being caught in the ensuing battle.

"Aaaaaah!" This scream came from the victim, Xihai Tianmu.

While mating with a giant octopus in the sea, its lower body still wrapped in the octopus's tentacles, it suddenly saw a small island pressing down on it. Instinctively, it let out a sharp shriek and attacked the island.

The whistling sound spiraled out of shape, like a poisonous dragon, and burrowed into the center of the island. The evil whistling sound that had previously caused Su Qing's puppet fleet to lose control and affected the spiritual connection between cultivators and magical artifact puppets had no effect on Su Qing at this moment.

They were powerless against the Bixi of Dragon Island!
The whistling sound, once it landed on the Bixi, caused no ripples whatsoever, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

Seeing that the evil roar was useless, a trace of panic flashed across the bewitching face of the West Sea Heavenly Mother. At the critical moment, her lower body suddenly yanked out of the sea, blocking the giant octopus that was messing around underwater and unaware of the situation above.

"Aaaaaaah!" The giant octopus screamed in agony, its tentacles flailing helplessly.
The poor giant octopus was a naturally born monster with the potential to advance to the fourth rank. Based on its abilities and aptitude, it became a guest of the Heavenly Sea Mother. Before it could even properly taste the evil spirits, it was smashed into a bloody pulp by the Bixi and fell back into the sea.

Meanwhile, the Western Sea Heavenly Mother withdrew her equally bloodied and mangled lower body, and her upper body, which was over a hundred feet tall, tilted slightly forward, her pale blue eyes looking at the enormous creature in front of her with some curiosity.

"A treasure ship? A puppet? A fourth-tier puppet! The aura of Daoist Su?"

Having dealt with Su Qing several times, the Heavenly Mother of the West Sea sensed Su Qing's presence. Suddenly, strands of golden hair on her head burst forth, dancing like dragons and snakes, coiling towards the Bixi of Dragon Island.

Su Qing, inside the Dragon Island Bixi, snorted coldly. With a thought, the two rows of spirit explosion fire cannons on the Dragon Island Bixi fired simultaneously, providing full coverage firepower without any blind spots, making it impossible for even a single hair of Tianhai Ximu to fall on the island.

Tianhai Ximu had already suffered from the Spirit Explosion Flame Cannon, her golden hair blasted into patches of baldness. Although she still didn't know the true strength of this Dragon Island Bixi, she dared to let Su Daoren, who had always been hiding in the sea and firing at her, come to the depths of the West Sea to be its enemy.

But it was no longer afraid. This place was its long-established stronghold, its evil spirit domain. In this territory, it was the true king, and no one could make it retreat from here.

The giant face, magnified countless times larger than a normal person's, was flawless, appearing extremely unnatural and eerie. Its two giant lips opened and closed, emitting strange howls that forced Su Qing to use her divine sense to protect Qing He.

As it roared, the sea began to boil, and black lines spread from all directions toward the Bixi of Dragon Island.
