Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 67 Flower Stick vs. Bear
Seeing Tang Wanqing's resolute expression, Su Qing's face also turned serious.

The two major battles are currently locked in a stalemate in Yunluo City.

As one of the most important resource supply points in Yunluo City, it wouldn't be surprising if demonic cultivators came to cause trouble in Baiyun Market.

Su Qing even suspected that the sudden disturbances in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range were the work of demonic cultivators.

The thought of how many demonic cultivators might be lurking in the forward camp, and what underhanded tricks they might be plotting, was unsettling.

Su Qing felt a little anxious.

The term "demonic cultivator" is merely a name used by the Yunshan Immortal Kingdom to refer to the disciples of the Desire Demon Sect.

In reality, apart from the difference in their cultivation methods, as long as they don't show themselves, they are no different from other rogue cultivators. As long as they don't take the initiative to show themselves, it's almost impossible to distinguish them.

With such an unstable factor present, Su Qing, who already felt that the forward camp was not a place to stay for long, was even more eager to make a quick getaway.

"I heard that you have also taken on a mission from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to go to Black Tiger Mountain to hunt a second-tier tiger king?"

Seeing Su Qing's somber expression, Tang Wanqing changed the subject and asked.

This question weighed heavily on Su Qing's heart, and she nodded with a bitter smile.

Tang Wanqing asked again if she could refuse the job, and after learning that she couldn't, she said softly:
"Black Tiger Mountain is still ahead of the Low Mountain Defense Line. The mountain is high and the road is long. There are many monsters along the way. This journey is fraught with danger. Fellow Daoist, you must be cautious."

"At that time, you can have Wanqing come along. Wanqing believes she has some skills and should be of some help to you."

Su Qing was naturally willing to receive Tang Wanqing's help, but this time the danger was a hundred times greater than the last time she went to Gejia Village.

Tang Wanqing was already risking her life by traveling with him.

"If Fellow Daoist Tang can accompany me, please feel free to make any requests you may have. I will do my best to grant any requests I can!"

Su Qing said sincerely that although he had made full preparations, there was always a chance of something going wrong. Having Tang Wanqing by his side would be more useful than having a Explosive Hammer War Bear, so how could he refuse?

Tang Wanqing smiled nonchalantly and said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist, your previous act of saving my life is more than enough for Wanqing to make this trip. How could Wanqing dare to make any further requests?"

"In that case, I thank you in advance, fellow Daoist. Rest assured, although this journey is dangerous, my fellow Daoists are all highly skilled, so there should be no unexpected incidents!"

Su Qing gave a brief introduction to the members of the team. Tang Wanqing was clearly relieved to learn that Qinghe and Matuan were both there.

These two are renowned in Baiyunfang City, and their combat strength is by no means inferior to Tang Wanqing's. Liang Haishun and the others are also not easy opponents. With the addition of this unassuming Fellow Daoist Su, they might really be able to achieve their goals on this trip.

"A second-tier demon core! It's the dream of a first-tier body cultivator. Only a power like the Hundred Treasures Pavilion could organize a team to hunt down such a thing!"

Tang Wanqing sighed enviously, but she had no desire for the demon core. Although she cultivated both body and magic, her body cultivation methods were only for protection. She wanted to follow the path of magic cultivation.

After discussing their business, the two chatted about other trivial matters.

Tang Wanqing did most of the talking, while Su Qing listened.

It wasn't until late at night, when Sun Yan came to visit, that Tang Wanqing took her leave.

At this moment, Su Qing still couldn't rest. After repairing the damaged puppets from her storage bag, she...

A large amount of monster materials were poured out.

They filled most of the spirit house, but only managed to pour out a small portion of the harvest.

His eyes immediately crinkled into a smile.

"This is a real windfall!" The entire corpse of a scythe-like mantis.

Two forelegs of a praying mantis.

Eight hairy spider legs.

Hundreds of spider legs.

These are the materials he kept for himself to make puppets.

He sold the rest of the materials to the Treasure Shop, earning a total of 34,000 spirit crystals.

After deducting the share given to Tang Wanqing, as well as the battle losses of Xiong Da and the puppets, they still made about 20,000 spirit crystals.
The cost has already been recovered from the sales alone, and there's even been a profit.

These materials are worth more than 10,000 spirit crystals. It's definitely a great harvest.

Today's battle made him realize the shortcomings of his puppets.

The armored war bear is cumbersome and lacks agility. Moreover, when fighting against beings of the same level, the destructive power that its two paws can generate is far less.

Lizard warriors can only rely on their lizard fighting skills to fight their opponents. Their claws, teeth, and tails are ultimately not as sharp as the swords of the dual-wielding lizard.

The number of Twin-Blade Lizards is still too small. Even with five Twin-Blade Lizards working together, they still have some difficulty dealing with a first-tier demon king. If there were ten or fifteen, the Twin-Blade Lizards could take down the Spirit Spider King today without Tang Wanqing and Xiong Er.

In addition, he lacks a regular, exposed, powerful puppet to protect him.

This is where he plans to improve his puppet squad.

Equipping the Armored War Bear with the Spider King's Hairy Legs, while not allowing it to unleash the power of its warhammer weapon like the Hammer War Bear, and granting it the ability to master combat skills.

However, the spider king's legs, which are over two zhang long, are even harder than the black iron essence. Just using them as sticks is much more powerful than the iron-armored war bear using its paws to fan itself.

There are eight hairy legs in total. He plans to use two for each war bear, and named it the Double Stick War Bear.

Xiong Er performed well today. First, it chose the two thickest ones to crash into. Red crystal powder was brushed onto its furry legs, and in an instant, a war bear holding a double-flowered red stick appeared in sight.

After Xiong Er gave a brief demonstration, it was observed that although he was merely swinging his two sticks haphazardly without any discernible technique, both the attack range and the power of his attacks were significantly stronger than before.

In particular, the war bear wielding two sticks was far more intimidating than before, and looked even more frightening.

Xiong Da has sacrificed himself today; he's not going to buy any more inferior goods from the Baibao shop.

It's not like I don't know how to forge armored war bears; it's just that the forging process is a bit arduous. I'll suffer a little, but not only will I save on spirit crystals, the resulting armored war bear will be even more durable.

To distinguish the three double-stick war bears he was going to refine from Xiong Er, he brushed different crystal powders onto the hairy legs.

Two days later, the pink-stick bear, the red-stick bear, the blue-stick bear, and the purple-stick bear were all in place.

The Double Stick Bear Team is now complete.

Before he could even connect his divine sense to the three newly created war bears...

Suddenly, his sea of ​​consciousness trembled and grew to more than 30% larger than before. Looking inward, his sea of ​​consciousness was now like a water tank filled with water.

His magical power and spiritual awareness increased by more than 50% compared to before. His spiritual energy surged within his body, and he felt so comfortable that he almost groaned out loud.

However, thanks to the hard work of the eight black boys, he finally broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining!
"Cultivation is so simple? Immortality doesn't seem too difficult?"
