Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 172 Soaring Through the Sky, Moving Mountains

After disassembling and studying each of the puppets that Su Qing had sold.

The Wang family had long since concluded that Su Qing had mastered several rune inheritances, including those related to bionics, intelligence, horsemanship, combat, and weaponry.

According to the Wang family's speculation, these rune inheritances were probably all learned by him from the Yunshan Sect, and he mastered them one by one in his subsequent cultivation to reach his current level.

Among them, the Wang family had already obtained the inheritance of the bionic runes from the Yunshan Sect on the condition that the family members join the Yunshan Sect to serve.

Because these runes are so profound, so far only the clan leader and a few uncles have made some progress on them.

In their generation, including Wang Junli, no one has comprehended the first-order bionic rune to this day.

And the Wang family coveted Su Qing the most.
It's his intelligent runes!
Su Qing has already demonstrated his mastery of second-tier intelligent runes on the Lizard Knight.

If they inherit the skills from him, their royal family's canine puppets will all be equipped with dog brains in the future.

Its strength and power have increased dramatically, and the tragedy of one lizard fighting a hundred dogs will never happen again!

He came here today for two reasons: first, to obtain the blueprints for the Lizard series of puppets, and second, to obtain the runes related to intelligence and combat equipment.

Among them, the importance of the smart runes is even greater than that of the lizard series puppets.

After all, without the inheritance of intelligent runes, they wouldn't be able to refine them even if they had the blueprints.

"I wonder what kind of rune inheritance you wish to exchange? To be honest, my Wang family has inherited both biomimetic runes and combat runes, so we are not interested in them."

Wang Junli said with a burning gaze.

"How about intelligent runes?" Su Qing knew what he was planning and asked directly.

"Fellow Daoist is so generous! Then let's exchange the Intelligent Rune Inheritance for the Heavy Armor Rune of my Wang family!" Wang Junli put down his teacup and said loudly.

"Heavy armor runes? If this is all the sincerity you have to offer, then please leave and don't waste our time!"

Su Qing shook her head indifferently.

What kind of rune is the Heavy Armor Rune?

It's just a rune that piles up materials to achieve a damage reduction effect.

Why doesn't he just use damage reduction runes?
You want to exchange this low-level damage reduction rune for the intelligent rune inheritance, one of the five runes in the world?
Unless his head is as big as those hounds and cavalry!
Seeing his attitude turn cold, Wang Junli realized that he had gone too far with his words. He then took out a piece of white paper from his storage bag and said to him:
"If you don't like the heavy armor runes, take a look at these runes and see if there's anything you need."
"The rune tradition passed down through generations of my Wang family far surpasses your imagination, fellow Daoist!"

It certainly exceeded Su Qing's expectations.

It was much worse than he had imagined.

Runes for speed, sprint, scent, sight, and enemy identification...

Many runes, dozens of them put together, are not as effective as his single bionic rune and intelligent rune!

It must have been tough for the Wang family's puppeteers, as they had to brand dozens of lousy runes onto each puppet.

But upon closer reflection, these are probably the runes that puppeteers who haven't mastered bionic runes must learn to create puppets.

Since there's no way to mimic monsters and spirits, can't we just pile up lower-level runes one by one?
However, ordinary puppeteers have a tough time. If they want to create puppets, they must master these lower-level runes.

Su Qing, however, did not use it, his gaze lightly sweeping over these rotten runes.

He then pushed it onto the table in front of Wang Junli.

"The Wang family is indeed very well-established. It is not easy to collect so many rune inheritances."

But to be honest, it's really of little use for minor techniques!

Upon hearing this, Wang Junli's face showed displeasure.

“My Wang family has accumulated wealth for generations, yet you, fellow Daoist, have discarded it like worn-out shoes.”
It should be understood that the inheritance of one intelligent rune may be exchanged for more than twenty other inheritances.

"If you, fellow Daoist, were to master these, even if you didn't use them for yourself, you could still establish a powerful puppeteer family for your descendants when you later build your clan!"

"I have no plans to establish a family at the moment, and these low-level runes are really not worthy of my attention. Please take them back, fellow Daoist!" Su Qing shook his head and said.

This rogue cultivator is so rude, is he actually looking down on my Wang family?

Wang Junli, who was proud of his family, could not tolerate this.

After using his magic to shred the white paper on the table, he took out another sheet of white paper. This one was different from the one that was covered in writing.

There are only a few runes on this paper.

"Middle-level rune - Escape from the Sky, Upper-level rune - Soar through the Sky."

Mid-tier rune - Might, top-tier rune - Mountain Moving.

Mid-tier rune - Riding Skill, High-tier rune - Royal Chariot.

Mid-tier rune—Objectification; High-tier rune—Bionic.

Su Qing read it aloud word by word, a stark contrast to the junk she had just seen.

These eight runes are quite interesting.

Among them, he was most interested in the Mountain Moving Rune and the Sky Soaring Rune.

The term "Moving Mountains" is literally what it means, referring to the ability to move mountains. It is an essential rune for second and third-tier strength-type puppets.

The combined blueprint for the Mountain Vajra Ape that he unlocked earlier requires a third-tier Mountain Moving Rune to craft.

The flight rune is far superior to the escape rune, which requires a large amount of energy to maintain its hovering and soaring function.

For puppets with flight runes, flying is as simple as breathing for living beings, requiring no additional energy.

As far as Su Qing knew, the Penglai Immortal Kingdom was imprinted with fifth-order air-flying runes, making its territory dozens of times larger than the Yunshan Immortal Kingdom. It hovered in the sky above the Western Sea, resembling an immortal kingdom on the sea, hence the name Penglai.

Of these two rune inheritances, the Wang family only received the first-tier inheritance.

But for him, it didn't matter much.

As long as he can access it, there shouldn't be any problem with him going from level one to level five or six.

"Mountain Moving Rune, I can exchange it!" Su Qing said.

"Fellow Daoist has excellent judgment. This rune has countless uses and is relatively easy to comprehend among high-level runes!"

Seeing that Su Qing was impressed by the family runes, Wang Junli's expression softened slightly.

Although the Mountain Moving Rune is precious, exchanging it for the Biomimetic Rune is definitely a good deal for the Wang family!
"The Sky-Soaring Rune, even a minor one can exchange for it!" Su Qing pointed to the Sky-Soaring Rune again.

"One for two? Fellow Daoist, you're being far too greedy!" Wang Junli said angrily.

"No, it's a one-for-three exchange. I'm also very interested in these shared imperial runes!" Su Qing said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Junli felt as if he had been humiliated, and he abruptly stood up and was about to leave.

In his view, Su Qing should have tried to persuade him to stay.

But even after he had reached the door, Su Qing remained seated on the stool, being served by the wooden puppet he had given her, and drinking the spiritual tea he had brought from home.

Do you even know anything about tea? You worthless, good-for-nothing monk!

Although he was furious, Wang Junli eventually turned around and sat back down on the stool, his face pale.

As instructed by my third uncle before he came, today's transaction was with Su Qing.

What he wants is not important; what's important is that he brings out the legacy of the intelligent runes!

His lineage likely originated from the Yunshan Sect.

If he dares to leak it.

The Wang family can then control them.

If he obeys, the Wang family will not only inherit the intelligent runes, but also gain a first-tier high-grade puppeteer as a servant.

If he doesn't listen, then don't blame the Wang family for reporting him to the Yunshan Sect!

How could a mere rogue cultivator possibly outmaneuver the Wang family, whose lineage has been passed down through generations!
