Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 54 Sword Puppet!

When you are not strong enough.

You need to lay everything out on the table and let others mistakenly believe that you are very strong, so as to avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts.

This was something Su Qing had done before; he had placed all the puppets he could control on the table.

Even if he only has a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation level, outsiders would only think that he is hiding his cultivation level.

Because puppets don't lie, how can one's divine sense support so many puppets online at the same time without the cultivation of the peak of Qi Refining?
And as his personal wealth grew...

A cultivation level that appears to be at the peak of Qi Refining might be able to intimidate some small fry, but it won't fool some man-eating crocodiles.

Baibaoge dared to lead a group to besiege and kill the second-tier Tiger King, and Niuya and others dared to fight with monsters on the low mountain every day.

It's because the potential gains are greater than the risks they take!
When the benefits are great enough, even if Su Qing is at the peak of Qi Refining, some villains will not be afraid to mess with him.

Su Qing didn't want to become a target for others.

Now that I have mastered the Needle Control Technique and can manipulate twice as many puppets, it's a good time to prepare some trump cards for myself.

After glancing at the three newly unlocked blueprints, Su Qing put the sword puppet into his storage bag and was about to head out to deliver the goods.

suddenly!

The fire egg let out a series of howls.

Su Qing's expression tightened, and she quickly darted into Xiong Er's chest, who was squatting on the ground.

As Xiong Er straightened up, the fire egg also rushed into Xiong Da's chest, and sixteen lizard warriors lined up to Xiong Da and Xiong Er on the left and right.

Su Qing used the entrance to her hiding place to switch the perspectives of the Wood Spirit servants hidden throughout the front camp, and only then did she understand what had happened.

Suddenly, about six or seven miles away from where the Baibaoge team was stationed, a thick cloud of yellow smoke appeared.

In the dim yellow smoke, one could vaguely see what appeared to be one or two hundred demonic beasts, rushing wildly toward the forward camp.

As the distance closed, the vision transmitted by the Wood Spirit servants became clearer.

A tusked boar with thick limbs and scales covering its body.

A horned rhinoceros with two horns on its head, whose running can shake the earth.

With wings like swords, the Azure Crow soars across the sky.

·······
All kinds of monsters, savage and ferocious, are all low-grade or mid-grade first-level monsters!

After understanding the situation, Su Qing calmed down.

Not to mention the tens of thousands of independent cultivators resting in the forward camp, they could easily deal with these demonic beasts.

Even the guards of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion could handle these monsters without any problem.

While there are no immediate security concerns, the appearance of these monsters suggests that there may be a problem with the low mountain defense line.

This is the big problem!

Just as Su Qing had predicted.

Qinghe and other warriors from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion didn't even get a chance to participate.

Those one or two hundred demonic beasts were then surrounded and beaten to death by tens of thousands of rogue cultivators.

The entire forward camp was filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

For the independent cultivators resting in the camp, their livelihood depended on killing demons. This demon beast's initiative to come looking for death was like delivering spirit crystals to their doorstep, which was naturally something to be happy about.

However, after calming down, the atmosphere in the entire camp changed again.

"It's one thing if a few scattered demonic beasts break through the low mountain defense line, but these one or two hundred demonic beasts, those people at the low mountain defense line should be able to see them unless they're blind!"

"Could it be that the Thunderfire Formation has been broken, and the Low Mountain defense line has been destroyed by the monsters?"

"Impossible! If that were the case, it's impossible that not even a rogue cultivator could escape. And there must have been more than just one or two hundred demonic beasts this time!"

"It should only be a few low hills that were breached. They deserved it; they didn't know their own limitations and dared to form a group to defend the hills."

"That should be it. The low mountain defense line is aided by a second-tier magic array. Niu Ya, Tang Wanqing, and the others are all at the peak of Qi Refining or the peak of the first tier of body cultivation. Unless a second-tier demonic beast leads a horde to attack, there shouldn't be any problems." "Once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll go check on the low mountain defense line. My old brothers are still guarding the mountain. I can't rest easy without going to see them!"

“Perfect timing, let’s go together then. My injuries are almost healed. And you know what, Fellow Daoist Su’s spirit lotus root leg is just like the real thing, it’s just a bit too expensive.”

"All puppet makers are the same; they're the most ruthless when it comes to killing people!"

The independent cultivators discussed among themselves, all feeling that something unexpected might have happened to the low mountain defense line.

However, since the low mountain defense line was filled with the strongest and most ruthless individuals from the independent cultivators of Baiyunfang City, and with the assistance of the second-tier Thunderfire Array, no one thought there would be any major problems.

Su Qing, who had just gotten off Xiong Er, was not as optimistic as the other rogue cultivators.

The reason he was willing to stay in the forward camp for so long was...

The biggest reason is that compared to the time bomb at Gao's meat shop in the living area, the forward camp, with the low mountain defense line as the first barrier, is not so dangerous.

Earning tons of spirit crystals here is so easy; all you have to do is wait for one mission. It's a great deal!

However, if the low mountain defense line is unstable, the forward camp will become the first battlefield for the monsters.

He might as well go play with the headless evil spirit!

I took two steps at a time and arrived at the Baibao store.

As soon as I stepped into the shop, I saw Liang Haishun, Helian Xian, flute player Sun Cheng and other professionals gathered together.

Qinghe, her brows slightly furrowed, was explaining something to everyone.

"Fellow comrades, I know you all want to know how we should respond if the Aishan defense line collapses."

"I can only tell you that my orders are that no matter what happens, the trip to Black Tiger Mountain cannot be changed!"

Fellow comrades, please rest assured. We will be taking action within a month. Even if there are some issues with the Dwarf Mountain defense line, it shouldn't collapse within a month!

After Qinghe finished speaking, she gently comforted everyone with a few more words.

Although many professionals were uneasy, they ultimately dared not turn against Baibaoge at this time. They could only nod and urge Qinghe and the others to act quickly.

After calming everyone down, Qinghe rubbed her temples, but her eyes caught sight of Su Qing, who had just entered.

"Fellow Daoist Su, are you also here to inquire about the situation?" Qinghe asked without much thought.

"I was a little worried, but since Fellow Daoist Qinghe has explained, I don't need to ask any more questions. I've come to deliver a puppet to Fellow Daoist Qinghe!"

Su Qing smiled faintly. If he could get away now, he would naturally be willing, but risking being hunted down by the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was no easier than being besieged by demonic beasts.

Cooperating with these large organizations is like dealing with a tiger for its skin. If you get their benefits, you have to obey their commands. He had expected this long ago, so he didn't feel as resentful as Liang Haishun and the others.

When Qinghe heard that he had come to deliver the puppet, she was overjoyed, her face which had been full of worry just moments before.

Professionals face a lot of pressure, but is she under little pressure?
As the main force in the subsequent attack on Black Mountain Tiger, the pressure she bore was far greater than that of the professionals who only needed to provide support.

At this moment, anything that could enhance her combat power is a diluted treasure to her.

For example, the puppet that Su Qing crafted for her.

The legs, forged from blue steel, are sharpened with blades, making them seem like weapons in themselves. Qinghe has no doubt that when these legs swing, they can easily draw blood from a first-tier demon beast.

The body, with its muscular, abdominal-like structure, was agile and nimble, extending over four zhang (approximately 13 meters) in length, giving it a very wide attack range.

What dazzled her most was the crimson spirit sword standing tall, fierce and domineering.

"Such a majestic puppet should have a resounding name!" Qinghe murmured.

"Sword Puppet!" Su Qing said proudly.

"Hmm?" Qinghe was slightly taken aback.

"I said, it's called the Sword Puppet, a new type of puppet that I specially designed for Fellow Daoist Qinghe!"

Su Qing deliberately shouted loudly, indicating that he had put a lot of effort into this puppet, and that he would feel bad if he paid less for its production later.

"What a wonderful name, Fellow Daoist Su, you've put a lot of thought into it!" Qinghe blinked, unable to tell whether Su Qing was doing it on purpose or genuinely thought the name was good.
