Immortality begins with meditation puppets

"Are you worthy?"

"Are you worthy?"

"I shed blood for Lord Su!"

"I'm your big brother!"

"I have rendered meritorious service to General Manager Su!"

"I'm your big brother!"

In front of the Li residence, Li Kuishan's momentum gradually weakened. How could the former boss not be the boss anymore? At least when he was arguing with him, he was naturally inferior to him!
"Well, since you've received the message, it means Master Su has accepted you. Even though you haven't had much of a past and your background isn't exactly clean, Master Su doesn't look down on you. You'd better perform well in the future and not disappoint Master Su!"

"Who's of unclean origin! Explain yourself, where am I unclean! From Yuanlai Tower? Aren't you from there too?"

"How can they be the same? I, Li Kuishan, have sailed with Master Su and rendered meritorious service. My loyalty has been tested by blood and fire. As for you? Who knows if you are a spy planted by Yuanlai Tower in the far west!"

Rao Tingshan was shocked when he heard this. He suddenly thought that since he came to the far west, he had indeed vaguely felt that someone was watching him. Could it be that the leaders of the far west were as wary of him as Li Kuishan?

Alas, it's truly a miscarriage of justice. Before resigning, he had also advised Yuanlai Tower, explaining the impact of this large-scale development project in the far west on their Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom and Yuanlai Tower, and even offered himself up as a spy in the far west!

In this way, he can retain his position and salary at Yuanlailou while also starting a business in the far west, without any worries. Wouldn't that be the best outcome?

But those old fogies in the building didn't agree!
He didn't give himself a chance to be a spy. He's completely clean now, having invested all his wealth in the Far West. He wants the Far West to develop better than anyone else!

Rao Tingshan felt wronged, but he also understood that it was understandable for others to suspect him. However, it didn't matter. As long as he did business honestly, he wasn't afraid of being caught doing something wrong!
The most important thing right now is to stick close to Su Qing!
Pretending to understand everything, but actually quite confused and having not received Su Qing's message, Rao Tingshan decided to go to the banquet with Li Kuishan.

“Brother, why are you bringing your whole family along to see Master Su? You can’t be here because you know Master Su likes married women and you’re offering your wife as a gift, can you?”

Seeing the group of beautifully dressed wives and concubines behind Li Kuishan, Rao Tingshan's mind was blown. He thought that this old brother was really too daring, no wonder he made such rapid progress!

"What are you thinking? I think your heart is too dirty now, brother. Do you think I, Old Li, am the kind of person who would sell his wife? I brought them over so that Master Su would give me a few children!" Upon hearing this, Li Kuishan rolled up his sleeves. If Rao Tingshan hadn't been his older brother, his huge fist would have definitely landed on his face.

“Giving away your son, what’s the difference?” Rao Tingshan leaned back, as if he were seeing his old brother for the first time. “Look at you, Li Kuishan, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I never expected you to be this kind of person. Your vision is too big!”
"What are you thinking? These days, everyone's been saying that Master Su has earned the reputation of a fertility-granting immortal at sea. It's rumored that whoever he glares at will get pregnant. I just want Master Su to glare at my wives and concubines a few times!" Li Kuishan explained, trying to salvage his image.

Upon hearing this, Rao Tingshan nodded in understanding.

What Li Kuishan said was true. Now, it is widely rumored in the Western Sea that Master Su has obtained the divine position of the Goddess of Fertility. Most of the cultivators who frantically fawned over him at sea without success have fallen for him. Regardless of age or gender, they have all become parents. Since Master Su has this ability, it is reasonable for Li Kuishan to bring his wives and concubines to meet him!

What a load of nonsense!

"You're young and strong, if you want children, can't you do it yourself? Why ask someone else? Besides, a child conceived by Master Su's glare, can that really be considered yours? What does it have to do with you? If you're really worried about having too many spirit stones and no one to help you spend them, I'm still here, aren't I? If you have any obsession with being a father, I might just call you Dad!"

Rao Tingshan knew that his old brother had suddenly become rich after going to sea with Master Su last time, and that there was no one to inherit his vast fortune. He was also thinking of having a few spendthrift sons to help him squander it.

But that's too hasty. Creating a child isn't that simple. As long as you're willing to work hard and try different methods, you'll eventually reap the rewards. Although it's not as quick as Su Zhenren's method of creating a child by staring at him, at least it's your own child!

"Could it be that I was ruined by those bastards from Penglai on Langya Island, and despite seeking medical help from all the elixir doctors, I am now incapable of having children? Do I have to tell you all of this?"

Enraged, Li Kuishan flung his sleeves and, with his wealthy wives and concubines behind him, strode towards Master Su's residence, ignoring Rao Tingshan's feelings.

Watching his brother's retreating figure, Rao Tingshan felt a complex mix of emotions.

I always thought my brother was rich, but I never imagined he was suffering like this!
Alas, with no hope of advancing in cultivation and no heir to inherit the family business, what hope is there for me in this life!

Taking three steps at a time, Rao Tingshan shamelessly followed his old brother. Master Su hadn't sent him any messages, and right now he had to stay by his old brother's side and try to get to the Su residence!
The westernmost city, according to the plan, is divided into inner and outer cities.

The outer city is mostly comprised of factories, and around these factories are collective dormitories for the workers, mostly high-rise buildings over a hundred stories high. These were built by the Jixi Construction Group, which was spearheaded by Su Ji and included investments from various shops. Originally, there were only two or three third-tier weapon refiners and array masters working with Su Ji's puppets to carry out the construction work.

Later, as news of Master Su's ability to help fourth-level body cultivators break through to the next realm spread throughout the world, the powerful cultivators who could not find Master Su in the Western Sea came to the far west one after another, hoping to wait for him to come to them, hoping to get Master Su to do something for them.

Among them were two fourth-tier weapon refiners and one fourth-tier formation master. It was under the leadership of these three fourth-tier True Immortals that the outer city of the Far West City has its current appearance.

Those dormitory buildings, though they look like pigeon coops, are actually fourth-tier spirit houses. They are equipped with a constant temperature array, making it spring-like all year round. There are also exorcism arrays and defensive arrays. A team of lizard warriors is assigned to security, and a team of wood spirit servants is assigned to cleaning and maintenance.

Rao Tingshan now lives in a dormitory building in the outer city. It's not that he can't afford the luxury mansion in the inner city, but the dormitory building is more cost-effective.

In contrast to a dormitory building being considered a fortress, a factory might be equivalent to a celestial city, serving as both a production unit and the outer city on the front line of wartime defense.

The western inner city, which covers an area five times larger than Wanghaixian City before its expansion, is now even more desirable in its current scale and layout.

This place is perpetually covered with numerous fourth-order formations, some specifically for exorcising evil spirits and protecting the city, while others are feng shui formations designed to gather spiritual energy to ensure favorable weather and freedom from disasters. Rao Tingshan also heard that Master Su was raising spirit stones to invite a fifth-order formation master from the Central Plains to set up a fifth-order formation for the city. However, while everyone else has contributed spirit stones, Master Su himself has yet to appear, and it's unclear when the fifth-order formation will be completed.

The city walls, each over a hundred feet high, were entirely forged from black iron and refined stone. At the beginning of its construction, more than a thousand spiritual laborers were mobilized to move bricks, and with the cooperation of a group of giant bear generals, the walls were finally completed.

This city wall is guarded year-round by dual-blade lizards, equipped with powerful defensive weapons such as spirit explosion cannons and dragon-booming crossbows. There is an anti-air formation in the sky and a spirit-suppressing floor on the ground, which truly maximizes the sense of security. This makes the lords in the city less reluctant to spend the large amount of spirit stones they have paid for this sense of security when they see this city wall!
Beyond the city walls lies a commercial area comprised of flagship stores of various corporations, as well as locally themed shops specially reserved for the indigenous people of the far west.

There is a wealthy district where every inch of land is precious, built specifically for the rich like Li Kuishan who have made their fortune in spirit stones but don't know how to squander them. The two beauties of the He family from the Penglai Immortal Kingdom have both acquired properties in this wealthy district. The He family manor, built with tens of thousands of spirit stones, is the most luxurious mansion in the district, fully demonstrating the heritage of an old and wealthy family.

The administrative district is home to the headquarters of major organizations such as the Far West Exorcism Bureau, the Far West Police Station, the Far West Surveillance Bureau, and the Far West Chamber of Commerce. These organizations adhere to the principle of meritocracy, recruiting externally and promoting internally without any insider dealings, relying entirely on ability. Of course, it is reasonable to take care of the feelings of the Far West natives and treat them with some consideration, and no one feels dissatisfied.

There is a temple area specially prepared for the dozens of gods in the city, with many temples built there. The most magnificent is the Temple of the Armored General of Yingjue God. The Ying family is wealthy and powerful, and even as gods, they are not comparable to other gods. However, apart from the Armored General Temple, there are the most temples of the Heavenly God of Punishment and Killing. It is said that this was the idea of ​​Master Su. It is said that Master Su is very righteous and values ​​brotherhood the most. If that is true, even now that he is working alone, he has not forgotten his old brothers.

Besides these areas, at the very center of the inner city, which is also the center of the fourth-order spiritual vein where the inner and outer cities of the far west are located, stands the mansion of Su Qing, the Supreme Saint of the Far West.

Although Master Su had never been to this place.

But even though he hasn't arrived, we can't be ignorant of the proper etiquette.

Not only was the best location reserved for him, but all the expenses for building this mansion were also shared equally by the wealthy people in the inner city. Don't feel wronged; some people want to spend these spirit stones but don't even have the means to do so.

Rao Tingshan was reluctant to spend the spirit stones, so Li Kuishan knew about Su Qing's return, but he was kept in the dark!
Master Su remained as simple and honest as ever, understanding that those who spent money on him might not be his own people, but those who didn't spend money on him were definitely not his own people.

Upon arriving at the gates of the Su residence, the group was stopped by a squad of lizard guards.

Only after Li Kuishan took out a gilded tiger-patterned token from his pocket did he let everyone in.

"Fellow Daoist Li, please take a seat in the hall. My master was delayed on the way, so please wait a moment."

Hongshang, who looks exactly like the witch Liu Yun'er, but has developed a certain air of authority due to her role as Su Qing in leading affairs in the far west, stood outside the hall with Niu Shisan and others to greet the guests.

Upon hearing that Master Su was late, Rao Tingshan was slightly puzzled. He couldn't believe that with Master Su's current abilities, there was anyone who could hold him back at sea.

Of course, he wouldn't dare say anything if he were given a thousand lives.

Upon entering the hall, it was already packed with people. The hall, which could accommodate a thousand people, was now completely full!

The thought that so many people could get information about Master Su, while he himself would still be a fool if his old brother hadn't let it slip, made Rao Tingshan feel a little dejected.

But he quickly regained his spirits, picked up a cup of spirit wine from the tray of the beautiful snake maid, and began to socialize with everyone in the hall.

These people are all extraordinary. His future freight business will depend on their support, so he can't slack off now that he's working for them.

Among them, Shao Delong, who automatically inherited the family business because his father-in-law became a god, Xiao Jian, the third elder of the Western Elders Association, the White-faced Green Lion King, the trade representative of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and Liu Guangxiu, the envoy of the Central Plains Immortal Qin Wu Kingdom, are the key targets of Rao Tingshan's conquest. But if he wins over one of them today, it will only be a matter of time before his Raoji Freight Company becomes a success!
“Your older brother is like a dog!” Niu Shisan said, shaking his wine glass, showing utter contempt for Rao Tingshan’s obsequious behavior.

"Hey, don't think that just because you've been hanging around with Master Su for a long time, I won't dare to turn against you. Even if Lao Rao is like a dog, he's still my brother. I can't let you treat him like this!" Li Kuishan swept the spiritual wine off the tray, so he could share some with his wives and concubines.

When Niu Shisan saw that his wives and concubines were so numerous that even a tray of spirit wine wasn't enough to go around, he felt that the spirit wine in his mouth tasted a bit more bitter than before.

To be fair, Niu Shisan isn't without the means now.

As trusted by Master Su, they were among the first group of talents to come to the far west to build.

He has worked hard and made great contributions. Now he is also the factory manager of Su Ji Puppet Factory. He has a tiger-headed horse when he goes out and lizard guards by his side. His annual salary and bonuses are no less than those of a Golden Core cultivator.

He could have a harem if he wanted.

But he remained single, his heart still longing for his sister-in-law from years ago.

Two years ago, due to the sudden intensification of the war between the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom and the Pingxi Martial Kingdom, fearing that it would affect his elder brother and sister-in-law in Demon Smoke City, he sent people to pick them up from afar.

By sheer luck, my sister-in-law is still alive. After decades, her appearance remains unchanged, and she even exudes a more mature charm than before.

What a terrible misfortune! My elder brother Niu Ya is still alive and thriving. I heard that people die every day on the battlefield of lust and demons. How can my good brother survive like this?
Just as Niu Shisan was feeling increasingly bitter, calculating how many more years his elder brother had left to live, and how long it would be before he could take on the responsibility of caring for his elder brother's wife, children, and elderly parents.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the hall, and the crowd spread outwards from one spot, leaving only a blood-soaked corpse in the center, and Rao Tingshan holding a wine glass, looking utterly astonished!
Niu Shisan pushed through the crowd, turned over the corpse lying on the ground, and his heart sank.

The dead man was none other than the envoy of the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom!
"Activate Formations One and Three, activate all puppets, and seal off the entire manor. Fellow Daoists, please remain calm and wait for the True Master to return. The True Master will make the final decision on this matter!"

Upon hearing the news, the woman in red rushed over and issued orders with an icy expression. (End of Chapter)
