Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 83 Isn't this just plain insane?!
The witch came and went.

Besides announcing her existence to all the independent cultivators in the forward camp, proving that she was indeed worthy of the combined vigilance of the three Foundation Establishment warriors, she also...

It seems to have had no effect on anyone.

Not a single rogue cultivator died!
What more do you want!
This is a witch at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage! She stormed the front-line camp and didn't kill hundreds or thousands of rogue cultivators. All the rogue cultivators should be grateful!

Only Su Qing looked at the puppets lying on the ground with their broken limbs and remains, her heart aching alone.

"Senior Brother Yuan, Senior Brother Lin, please stop comforting your junior brother. Although these puppets were painstakingly collected by me, one spirit crystal at a time, after I came down the mountain."

But since my junior brother revealed the witch's identity, I knew there would be such losses. I only regret that my junior brother's skills are not good enough and his puppet is not strong enough to help his senior brothers kill this witch here.

As for the loss of these puppets, if they ensured the stability of the forward camp, then they served their purpose and died a worthwhile death!

Su Qing's face showed sorrow, but it was also filled with righteous indignation, as if she wanted to shout that she and the witch were irreconcilable enemies.

Yuan Tianye, who arrived late, looked at Lin Shuangmu, Haiyunlou, and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators in bewilderment.

We didn't comfort you either!

What are you saying!
With so many rogue cultivators surrounding us, can't we wait until they disperse before saying anything?

Lin Shuangmu gave Yuan Tianye, who was on good terms with Su Qing, a look that signaled him to tone down his expression and stop causing trouble.

Yuan Tianye thought Lin Shuangmu was implying that he should make a statement.

As a formation master, he was not on the front lines, but he still activated all the major formations in the forward camp.

The sheer terror of that witch was evident simply from the destroyed array formations.

Because many formations were damaged, Yuan Tianye needed to lead people to repair and replace them.

At this moment, Yuan Tianye felt the most empathy for Su Qing, who had lost her puppet.

He's either cultivating formations or collecting spirit crystals for his sect.

Junior Brother Su's puppet is his own possession!

"Junior Brother Su, rest assured. Today, you discovered the witch's whereabouts in time and helped us drive her out of the camp with the help of a group of puppets. You deserve great credit."

Fellow practitioners, take a look. My Yunshan Sect will always reward those who have made meritorious contributions. From this day forward, all losses suffered by our fellow practitioners in the fight against demonic cultivators will be borne by my Yunshan Sect.

"Not only will our Yunshan Sect fully compensate Junior Brother Su for the puppet he damaged this time, but we will also allocate an additional high-grade first-tier magic weapon to recognize his contribution!"

Yuan Tianye's gaze swept over the group of scattered cultivators gathered around him, displaying the magnificent grandeur of the Yunshan Sect.

Lin Shuangmu, Haiyunlou, and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators were so angry that their hearts were clenching.

They had no objection to compensating Su Qing for the losses she suffered today.

This is a good example of how to get independent cultivators to contribute.

The independent cultivators valued both their lives and their wealth.

Whether the Yunshan Sect or the Desire Demon Sect is in charge or not makes little difference to them. It doesn't matter who they live with. Maybe the witches of the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom will treat them even better.

Therefore, when the other rogue cultivators saw the witch appear, they scattered and ran away without any intention of stopping her.

In contrast, Su Qing's performance was particularly outstanding.

If such a meritorious official were to suffer losses himself, then the Yunshan Sect would be extremely unreasonable.

But that's enough. Even if you wanted to make a show of it and reward him with a low-grade first-level magic weapon, it would be more than enough.

Well, Yuan Tianye really doesn't know the value of money when you're not in charge of the household. He just gave away a top-grade magic weapon worth tens of thousands of spirit crystals to Su Qing like that.

Facing the honest and simple-minded Haiyunlou, and looking at the magic weapon in his hand, he realized that even as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was still using a first-grade high-quality magic weapon!
True disciples are absolute, and although they felt that Yuan Tianye had given them too much, Lin Shuangmu and the others didn't intend to embarrass him in front of the group of rogue cultivators. After all, what they were giving him was a sect artifact, and if the elders asked about it later, Yuan Tianye would be the one to take the blame, so why should they bother?

At this moment, Su Qing grasped Senior Brother Yuan's hand, expressing immense gratitude:

"How could I possibly accept that? To be honest, Senior Brother Yuan, those few armored war bears of mine are all carrying spirit spider legs, which are much more valuable than ordinary armored war bears. When it comes to compensation, we can't calculate it based on the value of armored war bears."

Furthermore, although I don't think this small contribution deserves a high-grade magic artifact, I dare not refuse the sect's gift. If the sect insists on giving it to me, I hope it will be a magic artifact that can immunize against or weaken the spiritual pressure of a Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

I think you're quite shameless!
Lin Shuangmu and the others turned their heads away, not wanting to see Su Qing's face.

Yuan Tianye felt that Junior Brother Su was a man of character. Right, he should just say what he wants. Junior Brother has done a lot for the sect, so he should be open and honest.

After the two reached an agreement, Su Qing was instructed to collect the compensation from the Yunshan Small Building where the Yunshan disciples were stationed the next day.

Lin Shuangmu, not daring to let Yuan Tianye and Su Qing stay any longer, forcibly dragged Yuan Tianye away, who was getting along better and better with Su Qing.

"Tonight, I'll send another beautiful snake woman to Senior Brother Yuan. He must have been quite frightened today. Two beautiful snake women should be enough to comfort him."

Su Qing muttered to himself, feeling that he should treat his senior brother Yuan better in the future. Among the disciples of Yunshan Sect, there were not many who could be as caring and considerate to rogue cultivators as he was.

"Hey, fellow Daoists, what are you doing?"

With a quick glance, Su Qing's expression changed instantly, and she spoke aggressively to the group of rogue cultivators who were picking up the puppet's remains.

The rogue cultivators chuckled awkwardly, but did not immediately put the puppet's remains on the ground.

"These are all ruined. We thought you didn't want them anymore, so we came to pick them up!"

"Exactly, they're all worthless junk. Someone like Fellow Daoist Su, would you really want them?"

"We rogue cultivators have had it tough too. Fellow Daoist Su, please take pity on us and give us these junk items!"

The group of rogue cultivators acted as if to say, "You're so capable, you can earn spirit crystals, while we're less capable and have a hard time. Don't even try to take this junk from us."

This infuriated Su Qing.

Although he reported to Yunshan Sect that all his troops had been killed in battle.

But if you collect all these puppets, scrape off some Xuan Iron Essence, and recycle some battle swords and spirit spider legs, you can at least get over ten thousand spirit crystals. It's not something you can just give away to others.

Could it be that these people are no longer afraid of me because they see that I've exhausted all my puppets and am like a molting phoenix, without any means to rely on?
Enraged, Su Qing wanted nothing more than to unleash her dogs on someone, and Huo Dan beside her was baring his teeth, ready to pounce.

Just then, Tang Wanqing, along with the Bear King Team and a group of female cultivators, stood behind Su Qing.

"Get out of here right now, or you're not leaving!"

Sun Yan, riding her steel legs, glanced at the rogue cultivators with a sneer and snorted coldly.

Seeing this, the rogue cultivators immediately put down their things and quietly slipped away.

After sending away a few shameless individuals, Tang Wanqing looked at Su Qing with some concern and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you are temporarily without a puppet for protection. Why don't you come and stay with us for a while? Once you have crafted a new puppet, you can move out later."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing thought for a moment and nodded.

Although he still had two Explosive Hammer War Bears in his storage bag, if any rogue cultivator dared to come, he would be lucky if they didn't have their souls hammered out.

But since this thing hasn't been revealed today, there's no need to waste it on these rogue cultivators.

Without a way to deter troublemakers, it might be good to stay at Tang Wanqing's place. The sisters there are all very welcoming, and as long as you stay there, you'll be fine.
