Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Penglai Fairy Island.

Zhao family.

As a long-established family in Penglai.

The Zhao family mansion has ten thousand rooms and a thousand burial houses.

It can fully meet the needs of Su Qing and others to move in.

Su Qing was happy to stay at his house for a while longer.

During this period, under Zhao Zhengquan's instructions, or rather, under the invisible pressure exerted by everyone in Penglai.

Zhao Qian had no choice but to put aside her own affairs and grant Su Qing's wish, staying by her side the whole time.

The beautiful female cultivator, though mature and graceful, had never been intimate with men, despite her marriage to a man whose ex-husband was useless and unable to provide for her.

But she had never experienced that kind of thing. She had cultivated for over a thousand years and had seen through the romantic affairs between men and women.

Just look at Su Qing's completely different attitudes towards her and others.

He then knew that she had designs on him.

I felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, but not disgusted.

After all, which young girl doesn't have lustful desires, and which married woman has low libido?

A thousand-year-old girl is still a girl, and a divorced young woman is still a young woman.

Given Su Qing's qualifications, you couldn't find another like her in the Tianyuan Realm even with a lantern.

On the surface, Zhao Qian appeared to be compromising because of the honor and disgrace of Penglai, and thus wore a thin gauze dress in front of Su Qing, displaying the charm of a mature woman.

But in reality, she had long understood that if Penglai's reputation required her, a female cultivator, to sacrifice her own reputation to earn it, then Penglai would have no reputation to speak of.

She is willing to do it precisely because she understands this, but she is also indulging in the pleasure of it.

Just like now.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, I would like to trouble you to find the case file that was sent yesterday."

Su Qing sat in the rocking chair, and even though the case file was right to his left, he made Zhao Qian, who was on his right, take it.

Zhao Qian didn't go around the rocking chair to get it. Instead, she tacitly bent over, revealing a large expanse of her fair skin to him, her eyes seemingly dripping with tears, as she haphazardly flipped through the pile of case files.

Su Qing's gaze lingered only on the fair skin of her upper body and her shapely, full buttocks.

Both of them knew that what he wanted was not the case file.

They're all hundreds or thousands of years old; they shouldn't be so childish and pretentious.

Su Qing endured it for a few days, feeling that her feelings had reached the right level.

At this point, he could no longer restrain himself.

A large hand grasps and squeezes.

Then the rocking chair swayed from side to side.

While penetrating her body, it also entered her heart.

A chilling spiritual energy spread throughout his body.

In a daze, I seemed to have gained some insight.

But now is not the time to be distracted by this.

A small rocking chair can inspire countless poses, and Zhao Qian alone can exude a myriad of charms.

It wasn't until three or four hours later.

The wind and rain had just stopped.

Zhao Qian collapsed onto the rocking chair, and only after being served by several beautiful puppets was she finally cleaned up.

Even after telling a thrilling and dramatic story, Su Qing remained energetic and vigorous.

Zhao Qian couldn't hear too many stories, so she had to call a truce for the time being.

As she recovered and savored the aftertaste, Su Qing's mind had already drifted into the sea of ​​consciousness.

I'd like to know what kind of reward one gets for telling a story.
It was, however, an innate, supremely Yin energy.

After falling into the sea of ​​consciousness, it transformed into a full moon.

It shone brightly alongside the blazing sun formed from the Great Sun Dao Pattern.

[Dao Pattern: Mysterious Moon]

[Quality: Five Veterans]

[Introduction: In ancient times, there were two stars, the Sun and the Moon, who were the masters of all the stars in the heavens. The Heavenly Emperor emerged from the Sun Star, ruling over all the heavens and the universe, opening the Heavenly Court of Demons, and shaking the villains in all directions.]

The first emperor and empress, the mother of the world, governed the rotation of the sun and moon, the changes of the four seasons, and brought order and life to all things.

At the end of ancient times, before the collapse of the Heavenly Court, evil spirits ran rampant, and the world was on the verge of collapse.

The Emperor and Empress sacrificed themselves, transferring all their Dao fruits to the Heavenly Emperor. The sun and moon overlapped, Yin and Yang converged, and the Great Sun Dao Pattern and the Mysterious Moon Dao Pattern merged into one, ultimately forming the Four Imperial Dao Patterns: the Sun, Moon, Yin and Yang Pattern.

The Heavenly Emperor thus achieved the status of the Yin-Yang Dao Ancestor, wielding the Four Imperial Dao Patterns, and fought against three Heavenly Demons in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Even with divine might, it could not stop the overwhelming tide. When evil forces seized the opportunity, the celestial demons fell. As long as the world continued to turmoil and all living beings continued to fall into depravity, they could still die and be reborn, endlessly going through cycles of life and death.

Even if the Heavenly Emperor could fight until the end of time, it seemed he would never see the dawn of victory.

Unable to bear seeing the Heavenly Court controlled by evil spirits, he deliberately dismantled the Heavenly Court and, like other Dao Ancestors, scattered all his Dao Fruits to place his hopes on future generations, waiting for the overwhelming power belonging to all living beings to arrive.

Then the sun and moon will reunite, yin and yang will merge—on that day!

[Ability 1: Blazing Moonlight. It can emit moonlight to cleanse evil and resentment. The range and intensity of its influence depend on the host's current cultivation level. Currently, it can affect a range of millions of miles and can cleanse evil energy below the sixth rank at most!]

[Ability Two: Imperial Dew. During the full moon, this ability can be used to draw upon the moonlight to bestow the essence of heaven and earth, granting all living beings a chance to be reborn, transform, and cultivate to attain enlightenment.]

[Ability Three: Yin-Yang Harmony, omitted.]

[Ability Four: Nourishing All Things. When this ability is used, wherever the moonlight shines, the injuries of living beings are alleviated, their physical strength is restored, their magical power is increased, and all their conditions will develop in the direction they desire.]

[Ability Five: The Brilliance of Stars. If one possesses both the Great Sun Dao Pattern and the Profound Moon Dao Pattern, one will have the authority to control the stars, and all the stars within the void will be at your disposal.]

[Sixth Ability: Tai Xuan Tian, ​​one of the thirty-three heavens of the ancient Heavenly Court. Those who wield this Dao pattern are granted the authority by Heaven and Earth to reopen this heaven.]

[Seventh Ability: Yin and Yang Convergence. This Dao pattern can merge with the Great Sun Dao pattern, transforming into the Four Imperial Dao Patterns: Yin and Yang Dao Patterns.]

·······
I, Su Qing, am not the kind of person who gets lustful at first sight.

His interest in Zhao Qian had absolutely nothing to do with any peaches or married women.

It was entirely because his body contained the Xuan Yue Dao pattern, which had a fatal attraction to the Da Ri Dao pattern he possessed.

The harmony of Yin and Yang is an arrangement of Heaven and Earth.

Even a virtuous man like Su Qing, who maintained his integrity, could not escape the will of Heaven.

"This heaven is so cruel, how could it scheme against people like this? Fellow Daoist Zhao, have you rested enough? I just remembered a pose, see if you can do it? You must believe in yourself, you can definitely do it, my Yun'er can, yes, if she can do it, you definitely can too, I don't think you are any worse than her!" Under the arrangement of the heavens.

Busy from day to night.

Su Qing didn't do anything worthwhile.

Until three poles high in the sun.

Zhao Qian then got down to business with him.

"According to the opinions of the eminent cultivators of Penglai, as long as you are willing to show leniency and let this matter of Yunlong go lightly."

They can grant you three requests. First, the Liu family of Penglai will rebuild on Penglai Immortal Island, with all expenses covered by Penglai. Second, the Liu family will be reinstated to the main branch of Penglai and participate in decision-making regarding Penglai affairs.

Secondly, after this incident, within the territory of Tianyuan West Sea, Penglai will respect Kaiyuan and no longer consider itself the overlord of the West Sea. It will relinquish this position and the vast fortune it brings to your Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.

The third thing is to fully open the Penglai market to the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, allowing the free circulation of all kinds of crafts and goods within the Penglai Immortal Island, and to open up some of the ancient Heavenly Court's inheritances for exchange with the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.

Zhao Qian spoke weakly, clearly having cultivated for a thousand years and possessing a strong physique, but even she couldn't withstand Su Qing's relentless onslaught over the past few days.

But the conditions were stated, and whether Su Qing agreed or not was none of her concern.

In any case, she had no real feelings for Penglai, and the Zhao family itself hadn't been involved in this turmoil. Even if Su Qingzhen was relentless, the Zhao family wouldn't have suffered much, at least not as much as the Liu family. Besides, she was already planning to move to Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, and she was ready to follow her husband wherever he went, so she didn't want to worry about the dirty business in Penglai.

"Three things, it seems Sect Leader Liu is well aware of the gravity of this matter, and has shown his utmost sincerity!"

Su Qing nodded, acknowledging Liu Gandang's sincerity.

Not only was he sincere, but the He family was also sincere, giving him 30% of the shares in Hongxiufang, just to shut him up.

The Zhao family was even more sincere, sending their daughters to him for him to choose from. However, Zhao Zhengquan was unaware that Zhao Qian possessed the Xuan Yue Dao pattern, and that he had now obtained her; otherwise, he would have been furious.

However, even if he was so angry that he bled, it was no use. Only the Great Sun Dao Pattern could unlock this Xuan Yue Dao Pattern. Only he could unlock his daughter's seal. Liu Feng had been married to her for over a hundred years, but he still hadn't succeeded.

I have been in Penglai for several days.

The three great families of Penglai treated Su Qing very well.

The three things they've put forward are really hard to refuse.

The Liu family will definitely be rebuilt; this is his promise to Liu Yun'er.

If the Liu family were to rebuild to the standards they once held at their peak, it would cost at least hundreds of millions of spirit stones.

It's not that Su Qing can't afford the spirit stones, but it would be better if someone could help pay for them.

The fact that the Liu family could rejoin the Penglai Sect and participate in Penglai's decision-making was something Liu Gandang would never have agreed to unless he had been pushed to the brink.

After all, everyone knows that Liu Yun'er is his person. Letting the Liu family get involved in Penglai affairs is the same as letting Su Qing get involved in Penglai affairs.

In the future, even within Penglai, the Liu family will be hampered by Su Qing in their affairs. How can they compete with Su Qing and the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom for the position of overlord of the Western Sea?
Therefore, if you've agreed to the first thing, it's perfectly normal to agree to the second.

It should be noted that while the Penglai Immortal Kingdom has prestige within the cultivation world of the Western Sea, its actions over the years have been viewed with mixed opinions by the cultivators of the Western Sea.

After this incident where Yunlong was harbored, and Yunlong was found guilty of colluding with evil spirits, Penglai still cannot clear its name.

No matter how Su Qing investigates, what results can he possibly find?

Penglai has lost face in the Western Sea cultivation world, in the Tianyuan world, and in all the myriad worlds, and its origins are also questionable.

On the contrary, as the ruler of Kaiyuan Kingdom, he deduced the truth about the collusion between Yunlong Realm and evil spirits, and then, following the imperial decree, he attacked Penglai. He entered Penglai with an extremely powerful attitude, and the people of Penglai bowed and scraped to him, fully demonstrating the prestige of Kaiyuan Kingdom.

Thus, the position of hegemon of the Western Sea will naturally fall to the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom within a hundred or a thousand years, without them having to relinquish it.

But Su Qing didn't mind and wouldn't say anything like, "Giving it away doesn't count as giving it away. We can take it ourselves if we're capable."

If someone says they'll give in, it means they're bowing their head and admitting defeat. Don't force them to admit they're inherently weak.

No matter what, he knows better than anyone whether there's a problem with Penglai.

Despite Penglai's antics over the years—causing trouble in the east and scheming in the west, excavating ancient ruins and releasing numerous evil spirits—it is a place where Penglai has been causing chaos and unleashing evil spirits.

But they were truly both greedy and foolish, only thinking that the great calamity would come sooner or later, and that before it arrived, they should seek more benefits and increase their strength so that they would not be caught off guard and unable to cope when fighting against evil in the future.

He had no intention of colluding with evil spirits. Even back in the day, Liu Gandang was a tough guy who risked his life to fight thousands of rounds against the newly freed demon Buddha.

In the cultivation world, right and wrong, merit and demerit, can never be clearly calculated. As long as the greater good is not lacking, there is no need to go to extremes or deliberately humiliate.

As for the third matter, in Liu Gandang's view, it was actually Penglai who suffered a loss.

In his view, Penglai possessed the inheritance of the ancient Heavenly Court, and its various arts and crafts were far superior to those of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, which had only been established for a little over a hundred years.

By exchanging technologies, the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom made a huge profit.

However, in Su Qing's view, although the inheritances of the ancient Heavenly Court were wonderful, he didn't really care that much for them.

As the spiritual energy of the Tianyuan Realm revives, all the heavens and myriad realms pour into Tianyuan, and various inheritances and achievements of all kinds of arts and crafts are exchanging and creating new sparks within the Tianyuan Realm.

The Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom was founded on a foundation of a hundred arts, which attracted the most sects from all over the world who were willing to come here to exchange ideas and develop together.

Thus, as time goes by, the development of all arts and crafts in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom will surely surpass that of the Penglai Immortal Kingdom.

Even now, if we take into account Su Qing's achievements in the art of puppetry, Penglai Immortal Kingdom is no match for Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.

However, this need not be explained.

After all, the Heavenly Court's heritage and the crystallization of all arts and crafts in the Penglai Immortal Kingdom must have something to offer, and exchanging ideas with each other would not be detrimental to the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.

More importantly, the vast market of Penglai Immortal Kingdom is now open to Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. This is an absolute boon for all the artisans in Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. They will have new markets, earn more profits, improve the treatment and welfare of artisans in the kingdom, and greatly promote the development of art in the kingdom.

In short, from Su Qing's perspective, not all three incidents resulted in the Penglai Immortal Kingdom suffering a loss.

However, he also knew that Liu Gandang, who regarded Penglai Immortal Kingdom as his own territory and had always been determined to make Penglai the overlord of the Western Sea, was aware of this.

Any one of these three things is like cutting his flesh and tearing out his heart.

To reiterate, if he knew that his former daughter-in-law possessed the Five Elders Dao Marks and that it concerned the privilege of opening up a new heaven in one region...

I guarantee he vomited more blood than Zhao Zhengquan.

He has already recouped his costs from Zhao Qian alone.

Therefore, they were happy to let Penglai off the hook.

After all, Liu Yun'er will have to establish herself as the head of this household in the future.

No, it's not just Liu Yun'er.

"Go and tell Elder Liu and the other fellow Daoists."

Although I, Su Qing, had some sordid misunderstandings with Penglai in the past, I also came from the Western Sea and couldn't bear to see Penglai fall into ruin because of this incident. Therefore, I decided to let it go if possible and deal with it as best I could. A thorough investigation is not as good as a cursory one, and a cursory investigation is not as good as no investigation at all.

As for the other two matters, I will not say much, as my fellow Daoists from Penglai have suggested.

But first, I need to add a couple of points.

First, the Liu family will be rebuilt, but not on the old site of the Liu family; instead, it will be built on the old site of the Huang family.

Second, it's not just about the Liu family rebuilding in Penglai, gaining decision-making power within the Penglai Sect, and restoring their former glory.

The Liang, Ying, and Wang families all want to rebuild in Penglai and gain access to the Penglai Sect's decision-making power. After all, they all made great contributions to Penglai back then, and now they're following this humble Taoist. This humble Taoist really can't bear to let them down! (End of Chapter)
