Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 75 Become famous in one battle!
Become famous in World War I!
No.

He became famous after two wars.

Some people are still skeptical about Su Qing's rescue of the Bear King team from danger.

I just think that the Bear King team is pretty strong, and Su Qing just lent a hand.

But for one person to kill Feng Tianyang's notorious gang, which had been causing trouble for a long time, is a really impressive achievement.

How hard is it?

To put it simply, when Su Qing went out this morning, he encountered wandering cultivators along the way, none of whom dared to get within a zhang of him!
Even familiar professionals like flute player Ding Ping would repeatedly bow to him from a distance, displaying great courtesy and humility.

"This won't do! I still need to do business. What would it be like if everyone was afraid of me!"

Su Qing was very dissatisfied with this situation.

He doesn't plan to become a traitorous cultivator; he's counting on selling puppets to make money in the future. This title is too intimidating, which isn't a good thing for him.

Just as he stepped into the Baibao shop with a worried look on his face, Tong Xin greeted him with a smile that was even more sincere than usual.

"Fellow Daoist Su is truly a divine being. After a fierce battle last night, he was completely unharmed. With such strength, what is Qinghe, and what is Matuan!"

In my humble opinion, the innkeeper made a mistake that day; he should have let Fellow Daoist Su be the leader!

"Both of you, Qinghe Matuan, are not here, are you? You certainly know how to talk to people in a certain way. Alright, I don't rely on this empty reputation for a living. Take a look at my batch of goods!"

Su Qing glanced around the shop and found that not only was Qinghe Matuan gone, but most of the other warriors from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion were also missing.

He took out some of the spoils from last night and asked Tong Xin where the others had gone.

"I only manage the operation of this shop. I know nothing about anything else. But as you can guess, they must have gone to Black Tiger Mountain."

Su Qing nodded upon hearing this, but then leaned closer and whispered:

"I've been wondering for a while now. Although a second-tier demon core is precious, it shouldn't be enough to keep Qinghe and her group here for so long. Manager Liu must have something else in mind!"

Tong Xinyan was taken aback: "Fellow Daoist, you still don't know what's on Black Tiger Mountain?"

Su Qing was even more stunned: "How would I know? I've never been to Black Tiger Mountain!"

These days, only Liang Haishun and Qinghe Matuan have made a few trips to Black Tiger Mountain. When asked about the situation at Black Tiger Mountain, he just gave vague answers and didn't say a word.

"There's treasure on Black Tiger Mountain!" Tong Xin said mysteriously.

"How novel! Would your Hundred Treasures Pavilion attract flies like this if it didn't have any treasures?" Su Qing rolled her eyes at him, telling him to stop talking nonsense.

"There is a Blood Lotus Tree there, with three Blood Lotus Fruits that are about to ripen. All it takes is to infuse them with the essence blood of a second-tier demon beast or a second-tier body cultivator, and they will immediately ripen and fall to the ground."

It contains the essence blood of a second-tier demon beast, which can enhance one's physical constitution and boost one's vitality—its uses are truly boundless!

"Wow, you can't just say things like that casually?"

Su Qing looked at Tong Xin with some suspicion.

If the Blood Lotus Fruit truly existed, would Tong Xin simply tell people about it so easily?

Shouldn't Baibaoge have kept the news tightly under wraps?
Could it be that he has been overestimating the intelligence of the cultivators in this cultivation world, and that they are actually adorably naive?
No, even if Tong Xin were to act foolishly, the cunning and shrewd Manager Liu of Baibaoge would not be so foolish as to spread such information so easily.

"The Blood Lotus Fruit has recently started to emit the unique fragrance of a second-tier spiritual fruit. Even though it's far away, some body cultivators with keen senses can smell it when they go out to kill demonic beasts."

"I reckon the forward camps all know about the discovery of this creature on Black Tiger Mountain in the last couple of days. What's there to hide?"

Tong Xin said nonchalantly, still groping for the two pieces of equipment that Li Wulang had dropped.

These are all good things, but they've been trampled to a pulp by the war bears, what a waste.

Su Qing's heart was far from calm at this moment.

He had little interest in the Black Mountain Tiger. He wasn't even a first-tier body cultivator. Rather than risk falling out with the Hundred Treasures Pavilion team to snatch that second-tier demon core, he might as well just go through the motions.

However, if it is a blood lotus fruit, then it is a different story.

He has extremely poor aptitude. Since he began practicing the Immovable Heavenly King Technique, he has invested a lot of resources, but his gains are not comparable to those of others.

If he could obtain this Blood Lotus Fruit and improve his physical constitution, he would be content, if not transcendent, at least living like a normal person. But at this moment, countless others in the entire forward camp shared the same thought.

"With so many cultivators surging into Black Tiger Mountain, aren't you afraid that someone else will steal your spoils?" Su Qing asked again.

"Who would dare? And who has the ability to do that!"

Qinghe and the others had made preparations early on, setting up many formations and burying a number of magical artifacts on the mountain. Unless a Foundation Establishment cultivator came in person, anyone who came would suffer a setback!

"We at Hundred Treasures Pavilion have already made arrangements with the people from the Cloud Mountain Sect. Once we obtain the Blood Lotus Fruit, we'll give them one in exchange for their non-interference in this matter!"

Tong Xin was extremely confident; once the blood lotus fruit matured, it couldn't be kept secret, and Manager Liu had long anticipated this.

That's why Qinghe and the others came over. With the capabilities of this team, apart from the Yunshan Sect, no one could stop them.

"Was the previous claim that the auction was postponed, and therefore the operation to kill Black Mountain Tiger was also a lie to deceive us?"

"No, that's not true. The Blood Lotus Fruit is a fire-attribute spiritual object. Normally, it should have ripened more than a month ago, and the Black Mountain Tiger, who covets this fruit, should have appeared by then."

But unexpectedly, the weather near the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range suddenly changed drastically. It was only the beginning of winter, but it was already much colder than the coldest days of winter in previous years.

As a result, the ripening of the Blood Lotus Fruit was delayed, and the Black Mountain Tiger only came out for a quick look before disappearing back into the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range!

Su Qing nodded after hearing Tong Xin's explanation.

If what Tong Xin said is true, then Yunshan Sect and the independent cultivators have nothing to worry about.

The only risk on this trip is the Black Mountain Tiger, a second-tier demonic beast.

It's no different from their previous missions, so there's nothing to worry about.

But for some reason, he had a bad feeling.

Logically speaking, the emergence of rare and precious materials should surely attract fierce competition from all sides.

This trip won't be as simple as Tong Xin thinks.

There was no need to elaborate on her inner worries to Tong Xin. He was just a salesman; what did he know about the dangers of cultivation or the treacherous nature of human hearts?

By this time, Tong Xin had finished appraising all the goods. Because the puppets were rough and reckless, their battle gear and magic robes were damaged, so they had to be sold at a discount, along with the few bottles of pills that Su Qing could no longer use.

A total of over 13,000 spirit crystals were obtained.

With these spirit crystals in hand, Su Qing made a grand gesture and purchased another warhammer.

This warhammer is called the Mountain Crasher, but whether it can actually crush mountains is currently unknown.

But the weight that it took two war bears working together to lift made Su Qing realize that the Explosive Hammer War Bear in the storage bag, which was not yet equipped, would be extremely violent when using this hammer.

The first-grade high-quality warhammer not only cost all the money from selling the goods, but also cost the scattered spirit crystals harvested last night.

"Everyone says that murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, but I think it's more profitable to open a shop and wait for people to come to us to fleece us for spirit crystals!"

Su Qing didn't give Tong Xin a kind look at all, since he hadn't given him a single spirit crystal.

"Fellow Daoist, what you say is true. Doesn't Feng Tianyang still have a pair of Wind-Riding Boots and a Golden Jade Armor? If you take them out, you could easily exchange them for two more warhammers!"

"You're buying at the normal price?"

"Small shops need to make a profit too, so of course we have to offer some discounts!"

"Fine, then I'll use it myself!"

Su Qing waved his hand, bought some more puppet materials, and prepared to sell the lizard warriors at the market.

Businesses like Feng Tianyang's, where money is delivered to your door, are rare indeed.

Honestly setting up a stall and selling puppets, taking it slow and steady, is the best way to make a living.

He still understood what the foundation of one's character was.
