Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 87 A truly ruthless person can anesthetize their own brain.
The rogue cultivators of the Rat King's team are under a lot of pressure.

Although Lin Shuangmu did not release his Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure, due to his cultivation level and status, the rogue cultivators still felt a sense of awe and reverence in his presence, daring not to offend him.

As a result, the moment he entered the spirit house, the scattered cultivators who had been chatting and laughing and joking around fell silent, and the atmosphere inside the spirit house suddenly dropped.

Lin Shuangmu is under a lot of pressure.

As one of the three Foundation Establishment warriors in the forward camp, and a true disciple of the sect, he bears the important task entrusted to him by the sect—to guard the forward camp.

However, during the battle with the witch, she stormed his lair, and he fought three against one, managing to escape unscathed.

Not only did the humiliating defeat bring shame to the sect, but Lin Shuangmu also felt a lump in his throat and couldn't eat or sleep properly afterward, thinking about the witch's various tricks.

That same day, he sent a request for help to the sect.

He deduced that the witch wouldn't come alone; she likely had many demonic cultivators hidden in the forward camps, the low mountains, and the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.

They would have a hard time dealing with the witch alone, let alone these demonic cultivators who commanded monsters to attack.
He had to be prepared.

But before the sect's aid arrived, the frontline camp lived on thin ice every day.

Until he heard the news that Niu Ya had advanced to the second rank.

Even though his head was severed, he was still a second-tier body cultivator, and he would definitely be a formidable opponent against a witch.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to take the initiative to visit Niu Ya and win him over.

Niu Ya is under a lot of pressure.

He felt a lot of pressure after Lin Shuangmu told him he wanted to join the Yunshan Sect.

As a rogue cultivator who had struggled at the bottom for many years, if the Yunshan Sect had been willing to accept him when he was at the first level, he would have naturally bowed down and paid homage. There was no other way; making a living was not easy back then, and having the status of a Yunshan disciple would have made life a little easier.

But now, he's a second-tier body cultivator; he can find a good place to eat anywhere.
He won't die if his head is cut off, but if he's targeted by a demonic cultivator, given the ruthlessness of the demonic sect disciples, they'll smash his cultivation furnace to pieces. In that case, he'll die anyway.

Therefore, he has no intention of boarding the broken ship of Yunshan Sect and fighting to the death with the people of Yumo Sect. Niu Ya is planning to go to Yumo Immortal Kingdom to make a living when Yunshan Sect is finished!

Despite facing considerable pressure for refusing the Yunshan Sect's offer of recruitment, Niu Ya still declined.

“Niu Ya is a rough man who cannot swallow fine food. He is not worthy of the title of guest elder of Yunshan Sect.”

But rest assured, Fellow Daoist Lin, if any demonic beasts attack the forward camp, Niu Ya will certainly lend a helping hand!

Fighting monsters is fine, but fighting witches is out of the question.

Niu Ya's response was exactly what Lin Shuangmu had expected.

If he were in his shoes and were to act in a more objective way, he wouldn't have chosen to join the Yunshan Sect at this time either.

However, it would be good if Niu Ya didn't join the Yunshan Sect, as he could have a second-tier body cultivator to help alleviate the pressure from the monsters at the front-line camp.

Therefore, he remained warm and polite to Niu Ya and handed the Golden Wolf King's skull and the ashes of the Black Dog to Su Qing.

"Junior Brother Su, Fellow Daoist Niu Ya's head is related to the life and death, and safety of hundreds of thousands of rogue cultivators in my forward camp!"

As a disciple of my Yunshan Sect, I urge you to represent my Yunshan Sect and do your utmost to set a good example for him!

On behalf of all the disciples of Yunshan Sect and all cultivators at the forward camp, I entrust this to you, Junior Brother!

Ah, so now I'm a disciple of the Yunshan Sect again?

Su Qing was taken aback by what Lin Shuangmu said.

As expected of a true disciple of the Yunshan Sect, I'm not sure how well he's learned the skills of Zhan Xiu, but he certainly knows how to speak Mandarin quite well.

But words alone won't do. You're putting pressure on me now. If I don't offer something in return, you'll think I'm an idiot! "Don't worry, senior brother. I will do my best to let you know that this is my first time making this puppet, and there's bound to be a chance of failure!"

If my senior brother could provide a couple more sets of materials, my situation would be much more secure!

Su Qing passed the pressure ball to Lin Shuangmu again.

Lin Shuangmu didn't feel much pressure.

Although the Golden Wolf King's skull is a second-tier material, even the powerful Yunshan Clan cannot squander it.

But if a few skulls can demonstrate the sincerity of the Yunshan Sect in front of Niu Ya, then it's well worth it.

Lin Shuangmu was not dissatisfied with Su Qing's request at all; in fact, he thought that Su Qing was being too sensible and that Su Qing was deliberately giving them an opportunity to curry favor with Niu Ya!

How could someone as talented as my junior brother have been forced to leave the mountain back then?
Those incompetent officials in the sect are truly blind.

"Junior brother, rest assured, what are a few precious materials compared to Fellow Daoist Niuya!"
Are three sets of the Golden Wolf King's skull enough? And three sets of the Black Dog's ashes too? Junior Brother doesn't need to contribute the Heavenly Spirit Gold; the sect still has about a hundred catties in stock!

Lin Shuangmu is a generous man; he doesn't hesitate to spend the sect's precious materials.

In a short while, he had someone bring the precious materials, then cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd before turning and leaving gracefully.

He did his job perfectly as a money-giving boy!
"It is said that the Foundation Establishment disciples of Yunshan Sect are arrogant and conceited, regarding us rogue cultivators as ants. But after meeting them today, I realize that the rumors are unbelievable. This Fellow Daoist Lin is polite and courteous, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze!"

Niu Shisan saw Lin Shuangmu off and couldn't help but sigh.

Su Qing glanced at him.

"He is polite and courteous because Fellow Daoist Niu is now a second-level body cultivator. If you really think he treats everyone like that, then you are too naive."

"Of course, of course! Everyone knows our boss is in high demand right now, everyone's fawning over him!"

Niu Shisan chuckled awkwardly, looking at his sister-in-law who was all lovey-dovey with the boss, feeling a deep sense of loneliness, with no one to confide in.

Because he planned to keep some of the materials for himself, Su Qing did not intend to refine the Iron Wolf Head in front of everyone this time.

He opened his own spirit house, refusing entry to anyone else, and only took Guo Qiaolian's slender hand.

Also entering was Fellow Daoist Niu Ya's head.

According to Su Qing's detailed inquiry, Niu Ya's head could not be more than twenty feet away from him, otherwise it would lose its connection with the furnace, and without the supply of qi and blood, the head would become unusable.

“Fellow Daoist Niu Ya, your head still hurts a bit. Why don’t you drink the medicine that Fellow Daoist Guo brewed for you, take a nap, and when you wake up, your old head will be as good as new.”

Su Qing, holding a bowl of anesthetic capable of incapacitating a group of demonic beasts, spoke to Niu Ya.

"Drinking is fine, but my body isn't here, so if I drink it, it'll all leak out!"

Niu Yatou fell, but he wasn't stupid yet; he immediately realized the problem.

Su Qing and Guo Qiaolian looked at each other in disbelief, realizing that they were being outsmarted by Niu Ya's intelligence!
"Then what should we do? To forge the Iron Wolf Head, we must make sure to paralyze Fellow Daoist Niu!"

"That's easy, Fellow Daoist Su, just wait until my body comes over, then give my head a good whack, right?"

Immediately, Su Qing saw the headless Niu Jianqiang, who had hammered his head until it went numb, and even knew to hand his head to him before turning around, leaving the door, and closing it.

"His head is spinning, how is his body thinking?"

Su Qing was filled with confusion and could only marvel at the wonders of the cultivation world, which far exceeded his imagination. At present, his understanding of this world was still too shallow.
