Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 90 Mutation
The confidence gained from a single successful shot is the most unreliable thing.

Three days later, after using up all the materials bought with more than 180,000 spirit crystals.

Su Qing only gained another substitute puppet.

"In total, a substitute doll cost me about 90,000 spirit crystals? That's way too expensive!"
But if you say my life is worth 90,000 spirit crystals, then that's very cost-effective!

For a moment, Su Qing couldn't tell whether spending a huge amount of spirit crystals was a profit or a loss.

The flowers have been bloomed, and the refining has been done.

Thinking about it now is pointless.

It's just spirit crystals; we can always earn more.

Thinking that he could earn a huge sum of 300,000 spirit crystals by crafting a hundred more lizard warriors and delivering them, he felt that he hadn't crafted enough substitute dolls.

Working day and night, burning the midnight oil until I vomited.

The days passed by in the busy work of forging lizard warriors and training their muscles and bones externally and refining their essence internally.

More than ten days passed, and after he had crafted more than a hundred lizard warriors.

Despite his burning desire for the 300,000 yuan payment, he restrained his impulse and, along with the fifteen double-bladed lizards, did not deliver the goods ahead of schedule.

It was supposed to be two months, but if it's even one day or one night off, it's not two months.

With the mundane tasks for the Spirit Crystal finished, I felt a sense of relief, both physically and mentally.

He then prepared to refine the half-set of boomerangs he had purchased earlier into a puppet.

"Designing it according to the hummingbird cluster is a waste of the characteristics of this half-finished magic artifact. Let's go to the Treasure Shop to buy some materials and properly craft this puppet!"

He was never one to underestimate himself.

He knew very well that he was no match for Liu Yun'er.

It wasn't that he was incompetent, but that the witch was too powerful.

With his current puppet army, at the first level, no one can rival him; he's only slightly lacking in ability to deal with Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If the Hammer Bear team fails to achieve anything and the Hummingbirds' self-destruction is ineffective, then they're basically doomed.

These mother-and-child boomerangs were originally top-grade first-tier magic weapons. Although only half a set remained, he hadn't originally planned to use them as magic weapons.

If he could refine it into a first-order ultimate puppet, it might be able to provide him with his third weapon against Foundation Establishment cultivators, which is why he was particularly concerned about it.

Pushing open the door to the spirit house, one is greeted by a world covered in silver and white.

The snow fell at some unknown time, and for an unknown number of days.

However, since he was the only one living on this land for the time being, and there were not many independent cultivators coming and going, no one cleared the snow. As he took a step forward, the snow actually reached his thighs.

The snow accumulation itself isn't a big deal; it doesn't really have much impact on cultivators.

But the chilling aura emanating from through the robes made him furrow his brow.

He is now at least a first-level low-grade body cultivator, and his blood and qi are naturally more vigorous than those of ordinary magic cultivators. In addition, he is wearing a magic robe with the effect of dispelling cold.

Even so, one can still feel the chill, which gives an idea of ​​just how low the outside temperature must be.

"It seems that it's not just a simple drop in temperature. It's as if the spiritual energy in the air has taken on a chilling and murderous aura. In other words, I don't need to cultivate myself; I'm absorbing the spiritual energy filtered by the meditation doll."

Other independent cultivators, these days when they cultivate, even absorbing a single breath of spiritual energy probably makes them tremble three times!

The weather was strange, but there are many strange things in the world. Since it didn't affect her for the time being, Su Qing just pretended nothing had happened.

He tightened his robes and headed towards the treasure shop.

·······
Epic nerf!
Niu Ya, who gained face in front of his brothers after changing to a golden wolf head, also saw his relationship with his wife improve day by day.

My mood has been plummeting these days, just like the weather.

After his head was back in place, he wanted his brothers to make proper preparations so they could lead a counterattack against the low mountain defense line.

However, the Fiery Cloud Heavenly Essence Furnace he had forged was struck by this weather storm and could not unleash its full power.

Upon hearing that a second-tier demonic beast had appeared in the low mountain range, Niu Ya instantly became somewhat timid. However, his stay at the forward camp was not without its benefits.

For example, at this very moment, Su Qing was standing in front of the newly opened Niu Ji Clothing Shop.

Niu Ji Buddhist Robe Shop only sells Buddhist robes, unlike Bai Bao Ge and Yuan Lai Lou, which are located in front-line camps.

The variety of goods sold is too limited.

But this did not stop Niu Ji Clothing Shop from being extremely popular.

Su Qing stood outside the shop for a while. Niu Shisan, who was busy inside, spotted him and hurriedly invited him into the shop.

"Since Fellow Daoist Niu returned, the members of the Rat King Team have been living increasingly prosperous lives. In just half a month, they've even acquired shops?"

Su Qing smiled and glanced at Niu Shisan, who was already able to afford a mid-grade magic robe. She was slightly envious of the Rat King Team's ability to own such a lucrative business.

What Niu Shisan said next made him even more envious.

"Our Rat King Team doesn't have the resources to set up a shop. It's just that the Yunshan Sect exempted us from land rent and some taxes, and gave us their stock of robes to sell."

"I guess they're afraid this damn weather will freeze the rogue cultivators to death and scare them away!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing finally understood.

The Yunshan Sect provided the shop with both labor and materials, and even supplied them with goods.

They're dealing with the most profitable merchandise right now – the Rat King team doesn't have to worry about anything; they can just sit back and collect their money.

This made him admire the grand vision of the Yunshan Sect.

Using a shop as a bargaining chip to bind Niu Ya, a second-tier body cultivator, and his brothers to the front-line camp, it must have been Lin Shuangmu's doing.

It absolutely cannot be Yuan Tianye; he's not that clever!

Su Qing looked at the religious robes in the shop again.

It was discovered that most of these robes only had the function of keeping warm, as if they were specially made for the current weather.

Because of its limited functionality, the price is extremely cheap; a low-grade magic robe only costs eight or nine hundred spirit crystals.

It's a price that even independent cultivators can afford if they grit their teeth, but if it's a mid-grade or high-grade robe, the price is much higher.

Although the robes I'm wearing are still usable for now, I'm wearing them in case the weather changes again.

Su Qing decided to purchase a superior cold-dispelling robe in advance.

"How could I possibly accept this? My relationship with Fellow Daoist Niu Ya doesn't prevent me from spending spirit crystals in your shop. You're open for business, but if everyone acts like this, how will you do business in the future!"

Even though Niu Ji's shop received a hint from Yunshan Sect that it should not inflate prices due to rising demand, the basic price of a high-quality cold-dispelling robe is still over five thousand spirit crystals.

The robe that Su Qing had her eye on was further engraved with several Taoist arts, such as Gale Technique, Mist Concealment Technique, and Earth Armor Technique, making its price far beyond that of a simple warming robe.

According to his estimate, if he were to buy it from the Treasure Pavilion, it would cost at least ten or twenty thousand spirit crystals.

Unexpectedly, Niu Shisan waved his hand and offered to give him a free meal.

Su Qing wasn't the kind of person who couldn't get enough of a good deal, so she politely declined.

In the end, he traded a dual-wielding lizard for the Cloud Maple Robe.

The Yunfeng robe features a towering maple tree pattern on the chest, making it a renowned robe brand in the Western Sea cultivation world.

It is said to be a craft passed down through generations by a family of cultivators in the Penglai Immortal Kingdom, and it is characterized by its high quality and high price among robes of the same grade.

Su Qing felt he had gotten a great deal by exchanging a double-bladed lizard, which cost only five or six thousand to produce, for such a robe.

So much so that when Niu Shisan came over and whispered to ask if he could also have his head replaced with a golden wolf head, so that his sister-in-law, who had a particular fondness for golden wolf heads, would look at him a few more times, he was completely taken aback.

Su Qing patiently explained to him why he couldn't install the Golden Wolf Head.

He patted his chest and guaranteed that if he ever advanced to the second level of body cultivation, he would immediately give him an even more golden and shiny golden wolf head!
