Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 86 Giving the Warrior a Head Replacement

"Is Su Qing really going to give the boss a head transplant?"

"He's incredibly audacious; he'd even risk having his head replaced!"

"Isn't our boss the one with the guts? He'd even dare to offer his head to someone else to replace it!"

"Fellow Daoist Su's skills are truly superb!"

"The boss is really tough!"

······
Last time, the tent was rudimentary and small, with insufficient space, only enough for a dozen or so people to stand in.

The current funeral parlor is large and spacious, and the head transplant is more shocking than the leg transplant, so much so that the entire funeral parlor is crowded with Niu Ya's underlings.

Surrounded by a group of burly men, Su Qing remained completely calm this time.

After his last leg transplant, he and Niu Ya had developed a good relationship.

Even if the head transplant fails this time, Niu Ya's inhuman second-tier body cultivator physique will not cause too much damage, so there is no need to worry about medical disputes.

At this moment, he is discussing with Niu Ya how to modify his head.

“Fellow Daoist Niu Ya, the puppet I’m about to refine is a high-grade first-tier puppet named Iron Wolf Head. Normally, it would require an Iron Wolf skull, black dog ash, and spirit wood as the main materials, but…”

Su Qing wanted to tell Niu Ya that a first-grade iron wolf head was not worthy of his second-grade body!

This is also why he had previously kept Iron Wolf Head on a shelf and had little interest in it.

If a first-level body cultivator loses their head, they die instantly, with no chance to be replaced.

However, if one is a second-tier body cultivator, they do not need the offensive capabilities of the Iron Wolf Head. The puppet, once attached, can only occasionally change the wolf head and alter one's appearance, and it does not serve much purpose for them.

As a puppeteer with professional aspirations, my main goal is to earn more spirit crystals from this job.

Su Qing still hoped to refine the materials and create a first-tier limit Iron Wolf Head for Fellow Daoist Niu Ya.

"Fellow Daoist Su, just tell me what you need, and my brothers will get it for you right away!"

Before Su Qing could finish speaking, Niu Ya immediately raised his hand to interrupt, displaying the imposing manner of a leader and a second-tier body cultivator.

"The skull of the Golden Wolf King, the ashes of the Black Dog, and Heavenly Spirit Gold. I have some Heavenly Spirit Gold in stock; we can settle the cost together with the refining fee after it's finished. As for the other two materials, please inquire at the shops in the forward camp!"

A second-tier body cultivator may be short of money now, but will definitely not be in the future.

Although these materials are all extremely rare and precious, it's likely that any shop that has them in stock will give Niu Ya face.

More than twenty or thirty henchmen, eager for their leader to get a golden wolf head, ran wildly around the front camp like dogs released from their huts as soon as Su Qing finished speaking.

While waiting for the materials to arrive, Su Qing also chatted with Niu Ya for a few minutes.

According to him, he was originally captured by the first or second-tier demon king, Sky Eagle, and slowly devoured in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.

Unexpectedly, when the demon king returned to his territory, he found that his bright and comfortable lair had been occupied by a female cultivator in black.

Sky Eagle couldn't stand this any longer and immediately wanted to fight the female cultivator to the death.

Unexpectedly, before it could even make a move, the female cultivator suddenly pointed a finger, and in an instant, a torrent of spiritual power converged at a single point, containing explosive power. Luckily, she managed to kill it with that single finger.

Sky Eagle mustered its last bit of strength and fled from its home, staggering all the way to another demon king's territory.

Severely injured and on the verge of death, it was eventually taken advantage of by Niu Ya, who was holding it. Niu Ya swallowed Niu Ya's demon core and used the massive amount of blood and energy within the demon core to ignite the fire in its internal furnace, thus entering the second-tier body cultivation realm.

On the verge of despair, yet a miraculous turn of events occurred, and Niuya, having made a breakthrough in one day, couldn't help but let out a long roar to express his inner excitement.

This long howl attracted the second-tier demon king of the area, a scythe-wielding mantis king, and Niu Ya fought a fierce battle with it.

In short, the Mantis King slashed off his head with a single blow, and the mantis, clutching his head, ran away.

"Brother Su, it's really not easy for me to come back this time!"

Niu Jianqiang, no, Niu Ya, who always appeared strong in front of his wife and brothers, now spoke of his arduous and dangerous journey home to Su Qing, his head held in Su Qing's hand, filled with sorrow.

"Fellow Daoist Niu is blessed by the heavens. Now that you have returned from your tribulation, your path in the Dao will be very different. You should be happy!"

Su Qing replied perfunctorily.

He felt a pang of sadness at Niu Ya's extraordinary encounter, but when he thought about how Niu Ya had lost his head in exchange for this opportunity to become a second-tier body cultivator, he felt less sour.

His main focus was on the female cultivator who had severely injured the Sky Eagle.

After sketching it briefly on paper, Niu Ya confirmed that the female cultivator was indeed Liu Yun'er.

His mood worsened.

This female cultivator dared to even raid the Demon King's lair, which shows how domineering and ruthless she was.

The fact that this witch, with whom he had a grudge, seemed to be planning to stay in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range for an extended period only fueled his growing unease.

But for the time being, he had no other ideas and could only silently hope that the demon kings of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range would destroy this witch who had taken over the eagle's nest.

When Niu Ya realized that Brother Su couldn't empathize with him, he turned around and went to be all lovey-dovey with his wife.

At this point, Guo Qiaolian, who had been silent all along, finally spoke to Su Qing.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Su has been staying at Fellow Daoist Tang's place for some time now?"

"No, it's nothing. I only stayed for two days, and I've already moved out!"

"But Fellow Daoist Su doesn't look as well as before!"

"Oh, is it that obvious?"

"Qiaolian saw that your health was failing, so she prepared some highly nourishing elixirs for you. However, although the elixirs are good, you must not go and fool around with female cultivators anymore..."

"Who's not working? Let me go... You're talking nonsense. Ah, these medicines really work? Then I thank you, fellow Daoist."

Guo Qiaolian blushed. Although she had sewn the bodies of many male cultivators, she was still inexperienced in such matters and was rather shy.

After giving Su Qing a reminder, he didn't say much more and could only take out the spiritual medicine that he had prepared for him earlier from his storage bag.

Although Su Qing was somewhat resentful and indignant that she had said she was incompetent in front of everyone.

But he knew his own body well, and he was very grateful to receive the family heirloom medicine from Qiaolian to nourish his body.

The two chatted about their recent situations again.

Su Qing was relieved to learn that Guo Qiaolian had also realized that the trip to Black Tiger Mountain was more dangerous than she had imagined and had made the necessary preparations.

And right now.

A gentle and polite voice, spoken from afar, reached everyone's ears.
"Lin Shuangmu, a true disciple of the Yunshan Sect, brings the sect's precious materials to pay respects to Fellow Daoist Niu!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than he entered the mourning house.

Indeed, it is the true teaching of Yunshan, the foundation-building and combat cultivation, Lin Shuangmu.

Behind him, a rogue cultivator from the Rat King team, who had been sent out to search for treasures, approached Niu Ya and explained the situation.

It turned out to be the skull of the Golden Wolf King and the ashes of the Black Dog, which none of the shops in the forward camp had in stock.

However, somehow the Yunshan Sect heard the news, which led to Lin Shuangmu bringing precious materials to their door.

However, he carried the prestige of the Yunshan Sect, and was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator himself.

His goodwill put a lot of pressure on the people inside the mourning house.
