Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 60 Second-Level Guest Elder
Su Qing's motto in life is "Don't argue with fools."

Explaining it to an idiot seems pointless.

Now that he's no longer a disciple of Yunshan, his peak Qi Refining stage becomes even more important, so there's no need to expose my true cultivation level for him.

He gave a perfunctory bow, ignoring the man's insistence on kneeling in respect, and walked away.

"Su Qing, try taking another step?"
You dare to defy me!

"You disloyal disciple of the sect! Quickly, you rogue cultivators, stop him!"

Yuan Tianye, who commanded both inner and outer disciples within the sect, was furious that Su Qing dared to disregard his words. He immediately ordered the rogue cultivators who were helping him move the array plate to stop Su Qing.

As for him, he was a second-tier array master, whose status was not much different from that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He was delicate and precious, and there was no need for him to fight with Su Qing and his group of puppets.

He himself was unwilling and unable to take action.

How clever the rogue cultivators who followed him were!

Even though Su Qing is not well-liked by the Yunshan Sect, he is still at the peak of Qi Refining. In addition, there are two armored war bears and a team of lizard warriors. Yes, not one, but a whole team!
Unless they've lost their minds, they wouldn't risk offending a ruthless person like Su Qing just to please an idiot.

The rogue cultivators heard Yuan Tianye and Su Qing's conversation clearly.

Their judgment was completely consistent with Su Qing's.

This is just a spoiled, foolish child!
Even if you flatter someone like that, they'll take it for granted and won't give you any benefits.

No need, absolutely no need.

The rogue cultivators pretended to be deaf and dumb, making no move, which infuriated Yuan Tianye to the point of rage.

But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't do anything about Su Qing for the time being.

He was a second-tier array master, not a second-tier combat cultivator. Although he had the cultivation of the peak of Qi Refining, if it really came down to a fight, he probably couldn't even defeat Su Qing's puppets.

"Once all the disciples come down the mountain, let the junior brothers teach this unfilial disciple a lesson!"

Yuan Tianye, filled with anger, led a group of rogue cultivators to continue setting up the array plates. This was a major event for the sect, and he could not afford to be negligent.

······
Inside the forward camp, a true disciple of the Yunshan Sect arrived and, with great fanfare, led the other array masters to set up various arrays.

The key point is that they don't ask the independent cultivators for spirit crystals; all the expenses are borne by the Yunshan Sect itself!

Such an illogical event immediately alerted the rogue cultivators that something terrible was about to happen; the low mountain defense line could not be held, and the Yunshan Sect was trying to push them back to the front lines!

Some clever ones packed their things and prepared to run away that very day.

But before they had gone far, they were trapped by a maze behind them, heading towards the market, feeling dizzy and disoriented. However, if they went back to the front camp, a beam of light would guide them.

Entry is permitted, but exit is not – that's the current situation at the forward camp!

The rogue cultivators were furious, but there was nothing they could do. While complaints filled the entire forward camp, all the rogue cultivators were desperately spending their spirit crystals in exchange for corresponding combat power.

The business of Baibao Shop is now better than that of Baibao Pavilion in the central district, and the profit is several times higher. After all, the people in the industry are in a hurry, and they don't mind if the price of the goods is double or double.

Tong Xin was beaming with joy. When Su Qing came to his door and asked if the Hundred Treasures Pavilion could protect him if the Yunshan disciples made things difficult for him, he immediately waved his hands repeatedly.

"Fellow Daoist Su, you overestimate our Hundred Treasures Pavilion. Although we are not under the jurisdiction of the Cloud Mountain Sect, we are still dependent on them while we are on their territory. Otherwise, we would not have been sent here by Manager Liu to hunt Black Mountain Tigers." "Really not working?" Su Qing knew that the Hundred Treasures Pavilion had considerable influence, otherwise it would not have been able to spread its business throughout the various immortal kingdoms of the Western Sea.

"It's not that our Hundred Treasures Pavilion is incompetent..."

Tong Xin hesitated for a moment, but having followed Manager Liu for so long, he knew a little about the secrets of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

Su Qing understood Tong Xin's unspeakable secret:

"So it's because the lesser methods are no good. The lesser methods aren't even worthy of letting the Hundred Treasures Pavilion offend a true disciple of Yunshan?"

"Hmm, that's not wrong. I wasn't saying Fellow Daoist Su isn't good enough..."

As the two were talking, Liang Haishun, who was waiting behind Su Qing to buy things, became impatient.

"Just tell me straight, it's not like it's some kind of shameful secret. You're a second-level guest elder of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, your status is even higher than Manager Liu's."
"If you possess such abilities, as long as those Golden Core cultivators from the Cloud Mountain Sect don't cause you trouble, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion can protect you!"

After Liang Haishun finished speaking, some of the professionals among the guests also spoke up. They had all witnessed the exciting events between Su Qing and Yuan Tianye today and knew what Su Qing was worried about.

"Fellow Daoist Su, don't be afraid. That Yunshan True Disciple looks intimidating, but he's just a spoiled fool from the sect. Once he's finished setting up the formation, he'll quickly leave. He can't do anything to you!"

"If this place doesn't want us, there are plenty of other places that will. We rogue cultivators are born free; if all else fails, we'll just leave the Cloud Mountain Immortal Kingdom!"

"Yes! Going to the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom is not bad either. Although the cultivators there are a bit fierce, and they might start a fight if you look at someone for too long, it is said that the Undressing Pavilion has genuine demonesses, which is more exciting than the Red Sleeve Brothel."

"Damn it, the Yunshan Sect is a bunch of scoundrels! When the demonic beasts invade, they don't fight back, but push us rogue cultivators to the front lines. Once the blockade is lifted, I'm going to the front lines of Yunluo City to help the Desire Demon Sect fight them!"

"The requirement for a second-level guest elder of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is at least a second-tier professional, right? If Fellow Daoist Su is really a second-tier puppeteer, there's nowhere in this world he can't go, and he still needs the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to protect him. Even the Yuanlai Tower would be fighting over him!"

······
The forward camps were sealed off, and the Yunshan Sect forced the rogue cultivators to risk their lives.

The rogue cultivators, united in their hatred and filled with resentment towards the Yunshan Sect, all stood on Su Qing's side at this moment.

Su Qing also knew where their resentment came from.

Originally, they came to kill demonic beasts, which was also contributing to the Yunshan Sect. They were free to come and go as they pleased. If they wanted to earn more spirit crystals, they would fight the demonic beasts. Once they had earned enough, they could go back to the living area and enjoy themselves.

It's completely different from the feeling of being forced to work hard now.

Su Qing nodded, asked Tong Xin for some puppet materials, and thanked the group of rogue cultivators with clasped hands. After receiving a number of orders, she put aside her worries and headed towards the rented spirit house.

"The basic requirement for a Level 2 Guest Elder is that they must be a Level 2 professional, and they must be a professional with a high level of difficulty in cultivation, such as array, weapon, talisman, pill, puppet, etc."

Inside the spirit house, Su Qing silently made plans.

He has been crafting puppets frequently lately, and most of them require the use of bionic runes. Even without deliberate improvement, the bionic runes are not far from breaking through to the third tier.

A second-tier puppet only needs to master one third-tier rune.

The only thing troubling him was his own cultivation level. Without the cultivation level of the peak of Qi Refining, his magic power could not support the consumption of drawing third-order runes.

Even though he had been thoroughly humiliated by the black-clad boys, it would still take him at least two or three years to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining, which is the peak of Qi Refining.

He can't wait two or three years.
