Immortality begins with meditation puppets

What pleased the True Lord of Peach Blossom Spring was...

It is better to be sever ties with the divine or to prioritize the greater good.

Knowing that he and Delong had caused discord between Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom and Dongwang Sect, it was truly inexcusable.

The main reason is that Lao Liang and his old brothers and new friends are both afraid that their brothers will suffer and afraid that their brothers will really become successful. They are so angry that they hear that De Long has gained a great advantage and that his path to immortality has already taken off. In addition, the fact that they have fallen out with the Dongwang Sect may affect everyone's journey to the secret realm. They are all clamoring for Ying Jue Shen to shed some blood to settle things.

The Eastern King Sect didn't make things too difficult for him. They only asked him to compensate with the Survival Armor or a fifth-tier armor of equivalent quality, plus ten million spirit stones, and the matter would be dropped.

"Is it really that simple?"

After hearing the request, Ying Jue Shen couldn't help but sigh that the Eastern King Sect truly lived up to its reputation as a great sect among the heavens, displaying the grandeur of a great sect. How could they let him go so easily? No, they let De Long go!

"Well, that's all Zhongze Zhenjun has to ask of Fellow Daoist Shao."

Peach Blossom Spring True Lord nodded in confirmation.

Ying Jueshen understood the implication in his words and quickly asked, "To our side? They still want compensation from others?"

"Fellow Daoist, what you say is true. Ask yourselves honestly, if it weren't for Fellow Daoist Su speaking up for you on the arena that day, how could True Monarch Zhongze and True Person Qiujing have so easily given in and admitted defeat?"
"I heard that True Lord Zhongze gave True Man Su quite a bit of benefit to settle this matter. They must settle this score with True Man Su!"

Taoyuan Zhenjun's attitude—that your matter is over but Su Qing's is not—made Yingjue Shen's heart sink.

Knowing that Zhongze Zhenjun's main target for extortion was not them, but only Su Qing.

He and Delong, one a fifth-order deity and the other a third-order golden core, had some family property, but few were valued by the Eastern King Sect. They simply asked for compensation.

However, Su Qing is both the ruler of Kaiyuan Kingdom and the sect leader of Taiyi Sect. He possesses the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern and has unparalleled mastery of creation runes. His puppet-making skills are unmatched among all the puppet masters in the heavens...

Ying Jueshen shuddered at the thought of what they might get out of Su Qing.

Because as long as their requests weren't too outrageous, Su Qing would agree, considering the relationship between the two countries and the Abyss Secret Realm.

The price he paid was clearly not something he should bear. After all, the reason he got into this mess was to support Delong. Now that the incident has happened, the victim wants compensation. If he had to pay for it himself, wouldn't he have to ask Jueshen and Delong to pay for it?

"Fellow Daoist Ying, please don't be nervous. True Lord Zhongze is a reasonable person. He is willing to wait until True Man Su comes out of seclusion and goes to the Eastern King Sect's residence in Penglai before discussing compensation with him properly."

"While Master Su is still in seclusion, you have plenty of time to prepare. In my opinion, a major sect's reputation deserves at least 30 to 50 million spirit stones. Just prepare accordingly!"

Peach Blossom True Lord patted Ying Jue God on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

Unable to suppress his laughter, he relayed a message that True Monarch Zhongze had presented him with a fourth-grade Heart-Clearing Pill, worth over two million spirit stones!

On the other hand, if just delivering a message costs two million spirit stones, it's unimaginable how much Zhongze Zhenjun will extort from Ying Jueshen and Su Qing this time. Thinking of this, he dared not laugh in front of Ying Jueshen. After exchanging some more feelings with Liang Haishun and the others, he took his leave.

He still has classes at the military academy.

During this time, he thrived in the martial arts academy. A group of cultivation geniuses vied to attend his classes, and these geniuses grasped concepts quickly and learned them in no time. The sense of accomplishment he felt was far greater than when he taught his own few dull junior brothers and nephews.

Of course, while having a good feeling is important, money is also crucial. The payment based on the number of lessons is irresistible, and the rewards for disciples who make breakthroughs are even more delightful and surprising!

Peach Blossom Monarch was even somewhat reluctant to leave, and didn't really want to go to that abyss secret realm anymore. He wished that Su Qing's seclusion could last a little longer this time.

······
As the True Lord of Peach Blossom Spring wished.

Su Qing's seclusion this time lasted longer than anyone expected.

Including himself.

Originally, he only planned to lightly refine a giant Kun from the North Sea to add a fifth-tier combat power to himself and the team, in order to make up for the loss of combat power after Tiger Egg went up the mountain.

Unexpectedly, after the giant Kun from the North Sea was forged, there was another surprise waiting for him.

[The Giant Kun of the North Sea has been crafted. Puppet Master Proficiency +13588, Current Proficiency: 28658/360000 (Tier 5)]

[If you independently craft a fifth-tier Creation-type puppet, you can choose one of the following puppet blueprints.]

【Puppet 1: Doll Series Puppet - Boxing Doll (Tier 5): This doll is connected to the puppeteer's soul and body, and cannot be used by anyone other than the puppeteer. The gains from cultivating combat skills are simultaneously fed back to the puppeteer. Furthermore, if the puppeteer waits to deduce combat skills, a first-level combat skill can be deduced every hundred years, and a martial arts divine power can be deduced every thousand years (multiple puppets can be deduced simultaneously, shortening the corresponding time).】

[Puppet Two: Creation-Type Combat Skill Puppet—Azure Bird Martial Saint: In ancient times, there was an Azure Bird, born into the Luan-Feng clan. Originally the most noble and supreme among feathered beings, its life-bound feather was plucked by the demon master Kunpeng at birth. From then on, the Azure Bird's bloodline and supernatural powers were lost, and it was no different from an ordinary bird. Later, by chance, it was brought to the Human Emperor by the sacred beast Vermilion Bird. The Human Emperor bestowed upon it human combat skills for cultivation, and the four sacred beasts, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, etc., enhanced its fortune. Thus, the Azure Bird Martial Saint was born. Its combat skills were divine, and it had the courage to fight against the Void Refining Demon King. It was one of the twelve generals under the Human Emperor in the ancient Human Court era. This puppet imitates the creation of the Azure Bird Martial Saint and has unparalleled talent in combat skills. The same combat skills can unleash three to five times the power (depending on the quality of the puppet materials and the corresponding rune effects) in its hands.]

[Puppet Three: Perception-type Detection Puppet - Dharma Eye (Tier 5). In ancient times, there was a God of Justice who possessed three eyes. The Dharma Eye on his forehead had the ability to see all the illegal, unjust, and unfair things in the world. This puppet imitates this Dharma Eye, placing it on its forehead, giving it unparalleled vision and the ability to see through evil spirits. If it learns the supernatural power of the True Eye of Truth, the two can be combined to evolve into the Heavenly Gang Supernatural Power - Reverse Prediction of the Future, which can see through the three layers of changes of things: past, present, and future. Demons and evil spirits will have nowhere to hide!]

The control panel always seemed to be so considerate of him.

Knowing that he was going to explore the secret realm, and fearing that the abyss was too dark and the demons too cunning, making it difficult to figure out his whereabouts and see the depths, they specially sent him a perception-type detection puppet—a fifth-order Dharma Eye!
Looking at the puppet's description, it says that if one learns the True Eye of Truth, one can use this puppet to perform the Heavenly Divine Power.

Not counting ancient times, in the present world and countless realms, there are countless cultivators, but he is the only one who has mastered the True Eye of Seeing Through Illusions.
It is no exaggeration to say that this discerning eye was tailor-made for him.

Not selecting or refining it would be a waste of the effort put into the interface.

The other two puppets weren't bad, but they appeared at the wrong time, so we can only regretfully miss them for now.

The fifth-tier boxing doll can not only help him cultivate physical combat skills, but also independently develop the most suitable physical combat skills for him. It is a development artifact that is comparable to the meditation doll.

Give him 30,000 to 50,000 years, and he can make progress in both meditation and martial arts simultaneously. Su Qing will definitely be able to achieve success in both his physical and magical abilities!
But this boxing doll is nothing new!

He had already created boxing dolls of levels one to four, and now he has a special training room for all the dolls to hone their boxing skills.

With their help, he completed his journey from a novice in boxing to a master of the art over a century.

It's enough for now; even the fifth-tier ones are just so-so.

No rush now, I can get it often anyway, I'll definitely choose it next time!

Bluebird Martial Saint!

Thanks to his good friend Princess Fire Phoenix, he had also seen the Bluebird.

That waist, those legs, that figure, wow!

Oh, speaking of the Azure Bird itself, it is also a magnificent and majestic feathered divine beast. Its innate divine power is the Evil-Breaking Light, which has a wide-range explosive killing effect on evil spirits.

It's not surprising that a bluebird possesses supernatural powers and magic.

It's already quite rare for a bluebird to have mastered human combat skills. Especially since it can transform into a human and serve alongside Xingxiu Chaos and the Northern Sea Giant Kun—this security team is no less impressive than the Tiger Egg and Bear Two combination!

To be honest, Su Qing was somewhat tempted by this puppet.

Especially since this is the first time the puppet blueprint has appeared, who knows when it will appear again, or even if it will ever appear again.

If you miss it, it may be gone forever.

Giving up is inevitably painful.

However, the Bluebird is too expensive to refine, and the materials are too numerous and difficult to buy.

For the sake of the giant Kun of the North Sea, he smiled obsequiously at the Yuanshi Sect, drank wine at the Lingbao Sect, and even lost his virginity to Princess Huofeng.

It took so much hard work to gather all the materials.

This Azure Bird Martial Saint is no less powerful than the Giant Kun of the North Sea. All the materials required are of a very high standard, and he cannot simply gather them all. In fact, he cannot even guarantee that he will be able to gather all the materials.

Therefore, even if one is tempted, one can only say that they are destined to be apart and choose the Dharma Eye Puppet, which is suitable under all conditions.

"Imitating the third eye of the God of Justice in the past, isn't that the inheritance that Erqiang received?"

Unfortunately, the two strong individuals are not up to par and do not practice diligently. Even with the inheritance, they have not been able to cultivate this Dharma Eye to this day.

If he succeeds, he should be the one to gather intelligence on this trip to the Abyss Realm, so I won't have to cram at the last minute and hastily create puppets!"

I gave a rant about how useless Erqiang was.

Su Qing looked at the requirements for crafting this magic eye puppet.

Fifth-tier puppeteer?
I was already like that a hundred years ago!

Must the perception and reconnaissance runes be at least at the sixth tier?
Without being immodest, I have never liked being spied on since I was a Qi Refining cultivator. I also love to spy on others. My perception and reconnaissance runes have never fallen behind. After becoming the ruler of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, I have more people to monitor and more opponents to guard against. With the creation of more puppets, my level has naturally risen, and I have entered the sixth rank soon.
Essential material: Tier 5 Spirit Monster - Spirit Eye Magic Monster.

And you said the panel wasn't specially tailored for me? I just happen to have a Spirit Eye Monster!
This spirit was originally an inconspicuous ore from a mine in the western part of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.

On a stormy night, it was granted a gift, gained intelligence, and became a spirit.

Originally, they were quite honest and upright, retaining a mischievous and naturally simple nature.

However, he was unlucky in his encounters with the wrong people and was repeatedly harassed by the four major families that used to dominate the mining industry in the far west.

The child was good at heart, but the tragedy of being misled by adults happened to the Spirit Eye Monster.

The process by which his mind became distorted will not be detailed here.

In short, by the time Su Qing found out about it...

It was through his ability to spy on people's private secrets that he extorted money from his fellow practitioners throughout the western border of Kaiyuan.

I won't go into details about Old Wang and the like, but he saw through all the small mine owners' tax evasion, smuggling, and bribery, and used that information to blackmail them. The cultivators dared not disobey and suffered terribly at his hands.

If it had behaved itself and stayed in Kaiyuan West as an underground emperor, it wouldn't have been suppressed by Su Qing's iron fist.

Unfortunately, it dared to spy on Su Qing's secrets and use his romantic affairs in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom to threaten him.

What about him spending the night with the little fire phoenix from the Demon Kingdom, getting intimate? What about the two He family beauties spending the night at the Su residence, a dragon and two phoenixes...?

These are all baseless accusations, unjustly defaming people's innocence.

Su Qing could not stand its threat, so she led a team to its door and arrested it.

This matter caused a great uproar throughout the city and became known nationwide.

Su Qing also publicly declared that this spirit-eyed monster, impressed by his wisdom and prowess, was willing to acknowledge him as its master and serve him.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom was cleansed of the unhealthy practices of tax evasion, cheating, and other malpractices. Everyone was afraid of being caught by this magical being with supernatural eyes.

And in fact.

This spirit-eyed monster had lived too well in the past. After being captured by Su Qing, it disdained the treatment Su Qing offered and refused to serve him even at the cost of its life. To this day, it is still under house arrest in Su Qing's storage bag and has not been taken into his service.

That's perfect.

It's a matter of making use of waste!

We offered you a way to live, but you refused; we'll turn you into a puppet, and you won't complain!

It goes without saying that the exploration of the abyss was a secret realm that wiped out the entire Huang family.

With the assistance of this magic puppet, it is even more useful than a fifth-tier combat puppet.

The refining conditions and main materials were all met, so he had no reason not to start refining immediately.

With a thought, he instructed Qinghe and Hongshang outside to prepare some auxiliary materials.

Su Qing immediately began refining it.

First, take out the stubborn and proud Spirit Eye Monster from the storage bag.

As soon as the big eyes were photographed, the corners of his eyes turned up, and he looked smug.

"See? You finally understand the benefits of having a good grandfather like me, right? Three million spirit stones a year is practically free labor for you. Do you know how many spirit stones I could rake in a year when I was working alone? Ten million spirit stones was considered a bad year, when things were quiet and few people were breaking the law. But when things were a bit quieter and people were restless, I could easily extort a few cases and make several million spirit stones. Take that case where Rao Tingshan tricked his old employer, Yuanlai Tower..."

Perhaps it had been holding back for too long, but the Spirit-Eyed Monster, a big-eyed monster, was even more talkative than the Green-Faced, the chattering puppet.

Su Qing had no intention of arguing with it, so she just punched it, which scared it so much that its eyes rolled back wildly.

"No, don't kill me! We can talk! We can discuss the payment. If you don't want three million, then two million, how about two million? If two million isn't enough, how about one million? If you won't even give me one million, then just kill me!"

Even on his deathbed, the Spirit Eye Monster refused to lower his price to one million, begging for death and thus obtaining it.

Once it died, Su Qing, now with peace and quiet, immediately focused on drawing runes on its body. (End of Chapter)
