Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 114 Tiger Bone Demon Core
The two tiger corpses resembled two piles of spirit crystals.

With huge profits at stake, the previously harmonious atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense.

Just then, Ma Tuan glanced at the Explosive War Bears beside Su Qing.

He nodded slightly and said, "This is how it should be distributed. The Silver-Winged White Tiger is rightfully yours!"

"Boss Ma, this..." Zhan Xiu said anxiously from behind Ma Tuan.

Ma Tuan shook his head at him and said in a deep voice:

"Don't forget what our most important goal for this trip is!"

Upon hearing this, Qinghe added in a low voice:

“It’s not easy for us to deal with just Fellow Daoist Su alone. With the help of those two old bastards, Liang Haishun and Helian Xian, it’s going to be a real fight.”

We might not lose, but we absolutely cannot guarantee that we'll be able to keep the Blood Lotus Fruit afterwards!

The two leaders, who were also the most capable fighters, reached a consensus. The other warriors didn't say much and drew their swords to deal with the Black Mountain Tiger's corpse.

Su Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this.

The Explosive Hammer War Bear carried the Silver-Winged White Tiger into the Hun Tian Yellow Earth Formation, while the other puppets stood outside the formation to guard against Li Hailang and the other tribulation cultivators, lest they harbor any improper thoughts about the Silver-Winged White Tiger.

Then, Su Qing turned to the professionals and said:
"I've never hunted with anyone before, but I know the basic rules."

According to the rules, I have contributed more in this battle, so I will not ask for much. The second-tier demon core, one hundred catties of tiger meat, one hundred catties of tiger blood, and the pair of Cloud-Piercing Silver Wings are for my use. Do any of you fellow Daoists have any objections?”

He revealed what he wanted, and the group of professionals were also envious of the second-tier demon core.

But he also understood that, without any other reason, everyone had probably already slipped away, and now they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Not to mention snatching food from a tiger's mouth and retrieving this demon king from the cultivators of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, he was quite sensible at this moment and said:

"No problem, Fellow Daoist Su, are you sure you only want a hundred catties of tiger meat and tiger blood? Isn't that a bit too little?"

"Although the Cloud Sky Silver Wings are extraordinary, they are severely damaged at the moment. Fellow Daoist Su, you can ask Fellow Daoist Helian to help repair them in the future."

"Fellow Daoist Su doesn't want the tiger whip? You're still young and don't know the difference between good and bad things!"

After Helian Xian took the tiger bones, Liang Haishun took the tiger skin and tiger penis, and the other professionals harmoniously distributed the tiger blood and tiger meat.

Su Qing had Xiong Er carry two swords, and with the help of two double-sword lizards, began to bleed the tiger.

With limited resources and no professional spirit butcher, relying on a few puppets, the tiger corpse was naturally not handled very well.

Even the tiger blood and tiger meat that Shao Delong obtained, despite yielding the least, were worth tens of thousands of spirit crystals. Such a harvest naturally made the professionals extremely satisfied.

Su Qing put the demon core, which was as big as a goose egg, pure white, and containing flowing blood light, along with the Cloud Sky Silver Wings with beast patterns on its wings, into her storage bag.

He cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd and then headed towards the territory of the cultivators from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

"I want tiger bones. If anyone breaks my tiger bones, I'll kill them!"

Before they even arrived, they heard Qinghe, who was usually gentle and graceful, shouting at Ma Tuan and the other warriors who were in charge of bleeding and slaughtering them.

"It is not Fellow Daoist Qinghe's tiger bone, but my own tiger bone!"

Su Qing shouted loudly, which startled the surrounding cultivators, who then turned their gazes toward Qing He.

This Fellow Daoist Su is far too audacious; how dare he provoke Qinghe at this moment?

They had been on missions with Qinghe for a long time and knew that when Qinghe distributed the spoils, she was like a wolfhound guarding its food; if you provoked her, she would really bite!

Qinghe was initially furious, but upon seeing that the person who came was Su Qing, her arrogance subsided somewhat.

"Fellow Daoist Su, what are you saying? I only owe you some refining fees. Once I sell these tiger bones, I will immediately hand them over with both hands. How could I, Qinghe, be someone who doesn't repay debts!"

No sooner had these words been spoken than someone in the professional team shouted:

"Fellow Daoist Qinghe, don't forget that you still owe me, Liang, ten thousand spirit crystals!"

"You also owe my clinic spirit crystals!" "You didn't pay me back when you bought my dog ​​last time!"

The professionals had just finished collecting debts when the warriors beside them couldn't hold back any longer.

"Brother Qing, it's time to pay back the three hundred spirit crystals you owe me, Old Li!"

"Boss, I paid for the spirit crystals you used to buy the Daoist manual last time. You promised to pay me back right away!"

·······
The group of debt collectors were exasperated. They thought that even if they defaulted on their debt to Su Qing and kept the tiger bone for themselves, giving a portion to these debt collectors would only leave them with a few spirit crystals.

He simply waved his hand at Su Qing and said:
"As agreed, the tiger bone belongs to Fellow Daoist Su. You all see, I, Qinghe, got nothing. I don't have any spirit crystals, not a single one on me!"

Su Qing didn't care about her messy affairs. Seeing that Ma Tuan and the others were moving a little slowly, she summoned two dual-blade lizards to help.

Only after he had safely pocketed the Black Mountain Tiger Bone did he greet the group of warriors with a smile and return to his four-person team.

"Fellow Daoist Su, tell the truth, are you eyeing that Blood Lotus Fruit?"

As soon as Su Qing returned, Liang Haishun came over and said something, while Helian Xian and Guo Qiaolian also came over.

"What makes you say that, Fellow Daoist Liang?" Su Qing didn't speak directly, but instead asked in return.

Liang Haishun raised an eyebrow and said, "What's so hard to see? We're not interested in the Blood Lotus Fruit; we simply don't have the ability to compete for it. With Fellow Daoist Su's abilities, since the treasure is right in front of you and you have the capability, how could you possibly miss out!"

"Doesn't this go against the principle of caution expected of rogue cultivators?" Su Qing asked again.

Liang Haishun slapped his thigh:
"You've become cautious now?"

The path to immortality is fraught with peril, and cultivation is no easy feat for us rogue cultivators. To avoid danger and run away whenever possible is the key to survival.

But if the opportunity arises, one should seize it and take a chance!

He had barely finished speaking when Helian Xian continued:
"To compete or not to compete is foolish. Fellow Daoist Su, rest assured, the two of us, well, including Fellow Daoist Guo, only need to give us some benefits, and the three of us will definitely help you achieve your wish!"

"Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Su, don't worry, Qiaolian will help you even if she doesn't ask for any benefits!"

Guo Qiaolian's eyes are now shining when she looks at Su Qing.

Clearly, after experiencing a life-or-death battle for the first time and witnessing Su Qing's heroic act, the young girl, who already had a good impression of Su Qing, would probably be willing to listen to his stories or even give him spirit crystals.

"What do Fellow Daoist Liang and Fellow Daoist Helian require of me?"

Su Qing knew the abilities of these two venerable and vigorous fellow Daoists.

If he could get their help when the truth comes out later, he would be willing to pay a price.

It's always best to play it safe!
As for Guo Qiaolian, who offered help even without any benefits, Su Qing automatically ignored her; free help was useless.

"A dual-wielding lizard! Fellow Daoist Helian and I are ready to help you!"

Liang Haishun quoted a price to Helian Xian.

The Twin-Blade Lizard, who was just locked in combat with the Silver-Winged White Tiger, slashing wildly with its twin blades on the outside while self-destructing on the inside, made a significant contribution.

The two old Taoists, who had previously purchased a dual-blade lizard from Su Qing, wanted to get another one without spending any spirit crystals!

"Wow, a dual-wielding lizard costs over ten thousand spirit crystals. The price for getting the two of you to take action is far too high!"

"What, Fellow Daoist Su, are you reluctant to part with it?"

Liang Haishun intentionally or unintentionally summoned the Four Directions Flags, so that Su Qing would be reminded of the bravery of planting the flag and exploding the bear.

Helian Xian also summoned the Whale-Sucking Gourd, a second-tier magic artifact. Just by taking it out, it was convincing enough.

"The deal is only valid once the Blood Lotus Fruit is in my hands; simply selling it isn't enough!"

Su Qing was ultimately reluctant to part with the two treasures' fighting power, and gritted her teeth and agreed.
