Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 80: A Big Order Received!
"Give me all the puppet orders; that's spending your spirit crystals wisely!"

Su Qing, who came to visit Yuan Tianye late at night, was as confident as the first rooster to crow at dawn.

This domineering aura immediately stunned Yuan Tianye.

“Junior Brother Su, it’s not that your senior brother looks down on you, but the front-line camp requires those who can fight on the front lines.”

"While the serpentine beauty does possess some martial prowess, isn't this puppet a bit too expensive and impractical for such a task?"

Yuan Tianye was unaware of how Su Qing learned that he controlled a large amount of funds.

Or perhaps Senior Brother Lin saw that I wasn't actively looking for people, so he sent someone to volunteer himself?
It doesn't matter where Su Qing got the information from; if his conditions don't meet the requirements, I will refuse him outright.

I, Yuan Tianye, will uphold the integrity of the sect!
I absolutely, at least this time, must not do anything that harms the interests of the sect again.

The beautiful snake is lovely, but it's just not right!
His polite refusal did nothing to deter Su Qing's determination to take on this big job.

Hearing Lin Yuan and the other man talk during the day stirred his emotions so much that his hands trembled and his legs went numb.

He never expected that Yunshan Sect would be so willing to spend so much money this time, providing a large amount of funds for Yuan Tianye and the other two to build a forward camp.

And the one who controls the allocation of funds for cultivating various arts is none other than the corrupt Yuan Tianye!

This project is so huge that once he secures this order, his stand-in doll will be taken care of!

"Besides the beautiful snake, senior brother, are you unaware of junior brother's ability to craft other puppets?"

Su Qing stepped forward and asked, certain that Yuan Tianye did not know. When he last met him, all he knew was that Su Qing could refine lizard warriors and witch puppets.

After that, he became obsessed with the beautiful snake and spent his days and nights honing his Dao heart, never leaving his home. Naturally, he was unaware of the fact that Su Qing had created the double-bladed lizard.

"Oh, besides the lizard warrior, do you have any other decent puppets, junior brother?"

Upon hearing this, Hara Amano also became interested.

Junior Brother Su is a kind-hearted person. The fact that he gave away this beautiful snake is proof that he hasn't forgotten the sect's past kindness. Why not give such a grateful person a chance?

If he is capable.

Su Qing's eyes were filled with tears, her face full of sincerity:
"That's for sure. These days, Junior Brother has seen the Demonic Sect repeatedly bully our Yunshan Sect. Although he is not in the sect, his concern for the sect is still connected with that of his fellow disciples."

My junior brother knows that I only have some talent in puppetry, which might be of some help to the sect. Therefore, I have been staying here these days...

"Alright, junior brother, stop acting like this. Although I'm inexperienced, you can't really treat me like a fool. If you have something good, just show it off. Stop with this nonsense!"

Yuan Tianye waved his hand, stopping Su Qing's long-winded speech.

No matter how nicely you talk, what you really want is the sect's spirit crystals. If you're truly loyal to the sect, why don't you refine puppets for the sect for free?
Su Qing was able to control himself, and seeing that Yuan Tianye was not buying it, she thought to herself that this senior brother was really not a fool.

He's not stupid; how come he has such a large amount of spirit crystals on him but is reluctant to spend them?

However, if the back door doesn't work, Liang Zhen will use the front door, and Su Qing isn't afraid of that!
This forward camp, including the entire Baiyun Market, will remain as long as the true disciples of the Yunshan Sect, those second-tier puppeteers who specialize in puppetry, do not descend the mountain.

Without being immodest, Su Qing is exceptionally strong!
Brush brush!
Take a pat on the storage bag.

A lizard with two swords crossed and stacked in front of its chest.

A flower-stick-wielding bear with two sticks on its shoulders.

They stand like lackeys, but when there are many of them, they possess a certain imposing presence.

Three types of puppets filled the open space in front of the spirit house.

"Senior Brother Yuan, look at these junior brothers of yours, they are all elites!"

Su Qing pointed to the puppets and said to Yuan Tianye, who was slightly stunned.

"These... these were all made by my junior brother?"

Yuan Tianye, clearly a connoisseur, pointed at the dual-bladed lizard and said to Su Qing, "Besides the armored war bear, the lizard series puppets were not only crafted by Junior Brother, but also developed by him on his own!"

Now is the time to demonstrate his strength, and Su Qing has no time for modesty.

"Then I really must take a good look!"

Yuan Tianye became interested, patted his storage bag, and a table and two chairs were placed between the two of them. A beautiful snake came forward to set out cups and pour tea.

"Junior brother, please sit down. Please demonstrate the Twin-Blade Lizard technique to your elder brother first."

Su Qing kept her eyes fixed on the beautiful snake-woman in the thin gauze dress beside her, and urged the twin-bladed lizard as instructed.

The twin blades reflected the moonlight, the twin lizard blades moved like dragons and snakes, vigorously promoting themselves.

Su Qing was also explaining things from the side.

"Senior brother, please take a look. This battle blade is called the Armor-Piercing Blade. It has three effects: armor-piercing, defense-breaking, and spirit-slaying."

The dual-wielding lizard, like the body cultivator, can also unleash all three of these effects!
Senior brother, look! This is the Yellow-level combat skill, Twin Blade Combo Slash, and this is the Yellow-level combat skill, Twin Blade Mad Demon Slash.

"To be honest, senior brother, I once used five of these puppets, along with the armored war bears and lizard warriors, to single-handedly kill a group of cultivators led by a peak first-tier body cultivator!"

In the demonstration of the Double-edged Lizard, and in Su Qing's introduction.

Yuan Tianye's eyes shone even brighter.

Earning spirit crystals is difficult, and spending them is not easy either.

He gained the trust of the sect's elders and controlled a huge amount of spirit crystals.

How can we spend these resources and convert them into combat power to protect the front-line camp?

It has never been an easy job for him.

Right now, this dual-bladed lizard is definitely worth spending spirit crystals on!

Although he had his eye on the Twin-Blade Lizard, he managed to resist the urge to ask Su Qing for an offer.

With a smile, he had him demonstrate the abilities of the Twin-Stick War Bear and the Lizard Warrior once more.

The dual-stick war bear, however, was not as stunning as the dual-sword lizard.

This puppet is nothing more than two clubs attached to the armored war bear. The armored war bear has neither the ability to unleash the power of its weapons nor the ability to use combat techniques.

Such a puppet doesn't necessarily require Su Qing; all you need to do is buy a ready-made armored war bear and equip it with some blades.

As for the lizard warriors, Yuan Tianye had seen them before. Although they were highly intelligent, their combat strength was only at the mid-tier level one. If they did not form a large force, it would be difficult for them to make a difference in the forward camps.

That's why he hadn't considered asking Su Qing to refine this puppet before.

Three or five lizard warriors are not as useful as a few independent cultivators. At least the lizard warriors consume spirit crystals every day, while the independent cultivators bring their own rations.

"How many of these lizard warriors can you forge in a day, junior brother?"

Yuan Tianye asked this question after seeing that Su Qing had taken out two teams of twenty-four lizard warriors. He secretly thought that perhaps Junior Brother Su's efficiency in refining this puppet was higher than he had imagined.

"To be honest, if I work day and night without stopping, I can refine about three lizard warriors in a day and night."

Su Qing cupped his hands in reply, saying that in fact, he could now forge at least eight lizard warriors every day and night.

However, this is based on Heiwa constantly replenishing his mana and his 100% success rate in crafting lizard warriors.

However, it was not appropriate to say this openly to outsiders, so this was the only possible response.

"If we can refine three a day, we can refine a hundred lizard warriors in a little over a month. If that's the case, these lizard warriors are quite useful!"
