Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Deep in the West Sea, the sky and sea are both blue, peaceful and beautiful.

At Su Qing's polite suggestion, Master Fuhu pinched his nose and combined the Thousand Islands Fleet and the Sea-Gazing Fleet together, and the two sides marched towards Langya Immortal Island together.

Since the naval battle with the pirate kings had just ended, the Watchtower fleet still needed to repair the damaged treasure ships, replenish cannonballs and puppets, and most importantly, the most exciting part: distributing the spoils of war.

Su Qing himself also needed to replenish the puppet's losses and digest the Dao patterns he had converted from the six royal ships.

Therefore, even though Master Tong sent three messages every day, clamoring that if he didn't go to Langya Immortal Island soon, Langya Immortal Island would soon be overrun by the Penglai cultivators, he ignored them and calmly imprinted the Daoist patterns of the Six Directions and Five Elders onto his body inside the Bixi on Dragon Island.

【Yazi (睚眚) lines】

[Rank: Lower Five Elders]

[Introduction: One of the derivative Dao patterns of the Four Imperial Dao Patterns and True Dragon Dao Patterns, it is divided into nine categories of Five Elder Dao Patterns, including Bixi, Suanni, Taotie, Pulao, Qiuniu, Jiaotu, Chiwen, Bian, and Yazi.]

Since the great calamity of antiquity, due to the loss of the Underworld King and the disruption of reincarnation, the souls of those who perished in the mortal world could only wander aimlessly. Over the years, their resentment deepened, corrupting the Dao pattern into an evil one, which transformed into a pirate ship that has plagued the Western Sea ever since. Later, Su Qing used an ancient Buddhist treasure to redeem it, restoring the original appearance of the Dao pattern.

[Current completeness: 100%]

[Current Rank: Rank 4 (The power rank is determined by the host's cultivation level. Considering the host's current mana, spiritual sense, physical body, and blood, the highest power that can be used is Rank 4. In the future, as the cultivation level increases, the power will gradually increase, with a maximum of Rank 6.)]

[Ability 1: Nine-Son Dragon Boat. The dragon has nine sons, stirring up waves across the four seas. Mastering the Yazi Dao Pattern allows one to conjure the Yazi Dragon Boat, one of the nine son dragon boats, possessing the power of a fourth-tier treasure ship, capable of rivaling Nascent Soul cultivators within the seas!]

[Ability Two: Yazi Dharma Image. With a complete Dao pattern on the palm, one can use this Dao pattern to condense the Yazi Dharma Image, which does not conflict with one's original Dharma Image.]

[Ability Three: Yazi's Bloodlust, with complete Dao patterns in the palm, can perfectly simulate the mythical beast Yazi, transforming into its form, and increasing Qi and Blood by 30% (all nine Dao patterns can amplify the Qi and Blood of physical cultivators, and the effects can be stacked. Currently, there are several nine Dao patterns, and the bonus effect is far more than 30%).

[Ability Four: Dao Pattern Dragon Might. The Yazi Dao Pattern possesses some attributes of the True Dragon Dao Pattern, and can manifest a portion of the True Dragon's might. It has a suppressive effect on beings below the True Dragon level, and is particularly effective against sea beasts.]

[Ability Five: Unforgiving and Punishable; can mark opponents, and regardless of their location, they can be locked onto by the Lord of Dao Patterns.]

[Sixth Ability: Yazi Hand Cannon, which transforms both arms into Yazi Divine Might Cannons, using blood and qi as fuel and demon cores as projectiles, unleashing energy that can terrify even Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators (with the current strength of the main blood and qi of the Dao pattern, it can fire up to a fourth-order divine might cannon; exceeding this level may damage the foundation of the physical body, and in severe cases, may cause the essence furnace to collapse and the physical body to disintegrate!)]

[Seventh Ability: Yazi Cannon Formation. The power of all cannon-type puppets or magical artifacts on the Yazi ship is increased by 30%.]

The six directions and five elders' Dao patterns were all imprinted on his body, and at the same time, they were absorbed into the Quanxing Furnace Lid by Su Qing.

Not only did it further enhance his spiritual roots and physical attributes, granting him numerous special abilities, it also made his furnace lid shine brightly, and his physical cultivation foundation became much more solid than before.

"In this battle, I, with my third-tier Golden Core cultivation, overcame six royal ships. Putting aside the puppets, just looking at the comparison of the two sides' levels, I can say without pride that it was definitely a case of defeating the many with the few and the strong with the weak. It can be called fearless. After this battle, the world's recognition of the Fearless Dao Pattern has deepened. If I experience a few more fierce battles like this, this Dao Pattern may be imprinted in the world, allowing me to begin to open up my inner world and plan my advancement to the fourth-tier body cultivator!"

Su Qing smiled and muttered to himself. Although he had lost many puppets in this battle, his gains were astonishing.

With the six evil patterns of the five elders, the six royal ships, and the treasures, spiritual objects, magical artifacts, talismans, and other external items hidden on the ships by several pirate kings, even if he didn't share the profits of those second- and third-tier pirate ships with the Wanghai ship owner, he would still make a huge profit.

"Making money is a minor matter. The most important thing is to subdue these six royal ships. With the addition of the Dragon Island Bixi and Taotie, two fourth-tier royal ships, I will have eight royal ships under my control. With the cooperation of the cultivators in Wanghai, we are much stronger than when Shipwreck Bay was at its peak."

With this kind of strength, they should be qualified to win in the final rounds of Langya Immortal Island!

People are in high spirits when they are happy, and Su Qing was no exception. Even when he saw Qinghe and Xiong Er secretly hiding their spoils, he chose to turn a blind eye and only sent two eavesdropping wood spirits to follow them quietly, just to find out how much they had hidden.

Stepping into the newly renovated Ya Zi ship, Ji Houzi was receiving treatment from the fleet's spiritual healer. Despite being in excruciating pain, he remained silent. Upon seeing me enter, his eyes blazed with fury, glaring at me as if I were his father's killer.

"I didn't kill your father!" Su Qing observed the ship's doctor's skills and saw his movements as he threaded a needle and prepared medicine. He suspected that this was a third-tier quack doctor.

Suddenly, I thought of Guo Qiaolian. That girl is fair-skinned and tall, no, she is also meticulous and kind-hearted. She should have reached the Foundation Establishment stage by now. I wonder if she has advanced to the third-level spiritual physician. I might find an opportunity to bring her over and arrange a position for her in the Wanghai fleet!
Ji Houzi had no idea that Su Qing, while looking at his wound, was thinking of arranging a post for an old friend. He could only grit his teeth and endure the excruciating pain as he sat up in bed, grimacing as he said:

“The captain treated me like his own son, and I have always regarded him as my father. You cunning villain, who conspired with the wicked Fu Hu to kill my captain, how is that any different from killing my father!”

"Whether your father is dead or not, I don't know. You little brat, do you want to die? What are you getting so worked up about? If your thread breaks, I'll have to sew it back up!"

The ship's doctor slapped Ji Houzi's wound, venting his anger. Did he have it easy? He used to run a small clinic in Wanghai City, treating minor ailments with potent medicine, living a carefree life. Who was it that had this heartless person who recommended him to the higher-ups, claiming his medical skills were superior, and made him the ship's doctor? He might not earn as much as he did selling expensive medicine in the city, but the suffering and hardship were undeniable.

Dr. Ling's attitude was bad, but Su Qing was gentle with Ji Houzi.

Without revealing to him that Captain Huang Zhizhen, whom he regarded as a father, was also his father, he simply tossed out a talisman and said to him in a deep voice:
"This talisman was given to me by Fellow Daoist Wang, who asked me to pass it on to you. I have no intention of investigating what secrets it holds. Once you have recovered from your injuries, take this talisman and leave!"

As a person who values ​​things, Su Qing did not investigate what secrets the talisman contained.

That damned Wang Zhi actually set up a self-destruct device in that talisman. No one but his own son could see its secrets. Who was he protecting against? Was he protecting Junzi Su?

Because Wang Zhi was so hateful, Junzi Su tried several times but could not break the talisman.

Only then did he realize that this talisman might contain the crafting method for the Undying Nether Spring Armor, the cultivation method for the Wang family's Heaven-level combat techniques, and even most of the treasures that Wang Zhi had transferred out. He could only hand the talisman over to his own son, Ji Houzi.

Ji Houzi took the talisman without even glancing at it, casually putting it into his storage bag, still keeping a close eye on him.

Su Qing shook her head and ignored him.

Once he learns the truth within the talisman, he will realize that both his true and false fathers perished at the hands of the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom. To seek revenge, he must go to find the Tiger-Taming Immortal.

Speaking of Master Fuhu, Su Qing was on his way there at the moment.

As an unregistered disciple, it shouldn't be too much to ask to learn some combat techniques from him, right?

"You shameless brat, you have such a big mouth. You have no connection with me, yet you want to freeload off my signature skills and unique combat techniques?"

On the Myriad Kingdoms Peak, after several days of recuperation, Master Fuhu, now full of energy again, angrily rebuked Su Qing for her shamelessness!

"How can you say I am nameless and without status? An unnamed disciple is still a disciple. If you don't mind, Master, I can call you Master!"

While talking to Master Fuhu, Su Qing secretly arranged the eavesdropping wood spirit hidden in the sole of his shoe for his newly recognized master.

He truly deserves to be called his newly recognized master.

He released wood spirits along the way, while the other side followed and collected them. The power of a fourth-level body cultivator was terrifying; even the tiny wood spirits that were eavesdropping, which were as insignificant as dust, were easily detected by him despite his aura being concealed.

Hey! Shameless old man, talking to me like that! Your Qi and blood perception are at their peak. You're just like Wang Zhi, wary of Jun Zisu!
Both sides remained silent, one giving and the other taking, seemingly continuing their previous conversation.

"I'll pass on the unofficial disciple position; I'm not fortunate enough to be your master, Master Su. However, if you wish to use the Shrinking Earth Technique, that's not out of the question, but you'll have to return something!"

Master Fuhu spoke frankly, saying that the method of shrinking the earth to an inch was not created by him, nor did he have the ability to do so.

This technique originates from an ancient cultivation method. Their Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom only possesses a small part of it, which includes several supernatural abilities such as Shrinking the Earth into an Inch, Manipulating Heaven and Earth, and Throwing the Universe at Will. However, due to the lack of the core method, these external supernatural abilities always seem superficial and lack the original power recorded in the classic texts.

In short, this is a public law, which in principle cannot be exchanged with outsiders, but theoretically it is not impossible. In practice, it can be adapted to local conditions and flexible according to the actual situation.

In short, Su Qing has a lot of good stuff on him, and he, Master Fuhu, is hungry and wants to use this public magic to exchange for his own things.

Su Qing, understanding the implied meaning in the music, tentatively inquired about the price:

"A Tier 3 treasure ship puppet?"

Master Fuhu turned around with his hands behind his back, without saying a word, but simply raised one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten fingers. The meaning was crystal clear: ten third-tier treasure ship puppets were needed for the deal to be completed!

"It seems I am not destined to possess the supernatural powers of the True Man!"

This old man is really giving me a hard time. He thinks he can exchange a flawed supernatural ability that he might not even be able to master for his treasure ship puppet worth over 100,000? Does he really think Su Qing absolutely needs this Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique?

"So it's not meant to be? I see you have at least thirty to fifty third-tier treasure ship puppets under your command. Even if you give me ten, it won't be a serious blow. And this ability to shrink the distance between land and space can only be used right now and in this place. Am I willing to exchange with you? This opportunity won't come again if you miss it!"

Su Qing felt she was at a disadvantage, and Fu Hu felt the same way.

If the Thousand Islands fleet hadn't suffered some losses before, and he hadn't wanted to acquire some treasure ships to replenish his strength and take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Fanwanghai side, he wouldn't have made this deal at all!
Su Qing understood this principle. Under normal circumstances, a third-tier treasure ship puppet might only be worth a few thousand spirit stones. However, in the current situation in the West Sea, where a great battle is about to take place, ten third-tier treasure ship puppets could be worth half a royal ship. They cannot be measured in spirit stones!

"You may not know this, but these magical ship puppets are the result of my painstaking efforts over the years. There are only so many of them. If I give one to you, there will be one less. We are about to go to Langya Immortal Island, and we will have to face the high cultivators of Penglai. I only feel that there are not enough magical ships. There is no reason for me to send any more out."

Both the True Immortal and the Lesser Daoist knew that the treasure ship puppets were immediate combat power, while the Lesser Daoist could obtain the Shrinking Earth technique, but currently had no time for cultivation. Such a deal was truly unacceptable to the Lesser Daoist!

"How about the other six? But these six must be from the Giant Whale, and they must be equipped with all the necessary gear, such as the Spirit Explosion Flame Cannon and the Exorcising Missiles!"

Master Fuhu was shrewd. He knew that the reason why Su Qing's treasure ship puppets performed better than other treasure ships of the same level was because they were equipped with intelligent runes and fire control systems. The most powerful of these was the Giant Whale. If he had six fully equipped Giant Whales, he could increase the firepower of his Thousand Islands fleet by 30%.

"Five ships, each equipped with twelve Tier 2 Spirit Explosion Flame Cannons and a missile vertical launch system!" Su Qing said with difficulty.

"That's settled then. Oh, and let's sign a spirit contract first." Master Fuhu remained silent for a moment before nodding.

Soon.

A spiritual contract was signed to allow the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom to import advanced puppets from abroad.

On this spiritual contract, True Man Fuhu boldly offered 160,000 spirit stones in exchange for the five puppets from Su Qing.

Su Qing didn't see a single spirit stone; she only received a thin slice of Xuan Jade.

It contains divine power and rhythm. By absorbing this power and combining it with the true methods, one can begin to cultivate the Eight-Nine Divine Skills and Seventy-Two Divine Powers, including the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique!

"This supernatural power has been passed down in my Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom for over a thousand years. However, a cultivator who claimed to be a disciple of the Primordial Beginning Mountain came to my Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom and wanted to take back these supernatural powers. How could my Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom agree to this? We casually threw him away. That cultivator was quite capable. Even with several Nascent Soul cultivators working together, they could not take his life."

If you cultivate this supernatural power, you must be careful in the future, lest you be targeted by this Primordial Mountain!

Master Fuhu kindly reminded Su Qing, seemingly quite wary of the Yuanshi Mountain disciples. (End of Chapter)
