Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 298 Obtaining the Inheritance and the Talisman, the Sect Master's Past is Hard to Tell
Huang Song's death enraged Jia Chunqiu.

Not knowing how to explain to the Huang family, he wanted the Tiger King to explain to him first.

While the Tiger King is exhausted and has used up all his tricks, he can go up on stage and kill him. At the same time, he can cut off Liu Yun'er's arm, seize all of Huang Song's treasures, and obtain the inheritance of the talisman. In the future, when Jia Chunqiu escapes from the West Sea and goes into seclusion to cultivate, he may also become the founder of a sect.

Jia Chunqiu had a brilliant plan, but he didn't expect that everyone in the Desire Demon Sect was supporting the Tiger King. He was secretly annoyed that he had listened to Huang Song's lies and was too eager to turn against the Desire Demon Sect. Otherwise, with his merits, it should be Jia Chunqiu, not the Tiger King, who should be using the power of the Demon Sect at this moment!

Because of the power of the Demonic Sect, Jia Chunqiu could only endure it for the time being. However, he had nowhere to vent his anger, which made the fire poison in his body even worse. Since there were no more disciples of the Desire Demon Sect for him to use to absorb the poisonous fire in his body, he could only secretly use his magic power to suppress the fire poison for the time being.

Those eyes, already blazing with murderous intent, burned even more fiercely, causing all the cultivators present to silently distance themselves from this old demon.

The old devil, with his fiery temper, is disliked.

The Tiger King, who was unparalleled in his prowess, enjoyed all the glory.

After killing Huang Song, he stood on the arena for a long time, until the power of the Myriad Manifestations Talisman Paper was exhausted, but no one came up to challenge the Tiger King.

“Talismans give rise to all things and mimic human intelligence. I only knew that my Talisman Dao Sect had been passed down for ten thousand years, but now no one cares about it anymore. I never thought that there would be a person like you, young friend, who has inherited the orthodox tradition of my Talisman Dao and has the ability to carry it forward and make it even greater.”

This fourth-order biomimetic ability, this fourth-order power, I myself never received any guidance from a master in my past, and had no chance to witness it. That a young friend like you has received the inheritance of my sect is truly wonderful, truly wonderful!

Master Yu Bi stroked his beard and laughed. With a flick of his whisk, the jade slip that was originally on the jade platform multiplied into two, then four, and in an instant, hundreds and thousands of jade slips fell in front of Su Qing.

"Please be aware, young friend, that the first of our Fu Dao Sect's ancient traditions is the Fu Sheng Wan Xiang Gong (Fu Sheng Myriad Manifestations Technique). This technique, when combined with the Fu Sheng Seal, can help people condense a high-grade Dao Foundation and form a Myriad Manifestations Nascent Soul. It is the foundation of our Fu Dao Sect. Young friend, if you obtain it, I hope you will cultivate it diligently. If you have enough opportunities and good fortune, forming a Nascent Soul and achieving true enlightenment will not be difficult."

Besides this technique, the third-order bionic and second-order intelligence rune inheritances are things that our Rune Dao Sect is proud of. However, seeing that you have already reached the fourth order in these two types of runes, they are of little use to you.

On the contrary, the three types of third-grade runes, namely Spring Wood, Living Gold, and Mother River, from the first to the fourth tier, may be useful to you, young friend. With your talent in comprehending runes such as Bionic Intelligence and Divine Beast Soul, it should not be difficult for you to comprehend these three types of runes.

After comprehending these three types of runes, our Rune Dao Sect combines them with bionic intelligence, resulting in five major rune types. Based on the inheritance of these runes, we have accumulated thousands upon thousands of years of traditions in formations, puppets, magical artifacts, talismans, spirit patterns, and talisman paintings. Fellow Daoists, you can easily find and cultivate all of these!

Master Yu Bi smiled faintly and addressed the Fierce Tiger King as a young friend, clearly regarding him as a disciple. He looked at him with the same fervent desire to follow his master as he did at Liu Yun'er.

Su Qing felt a chill run down his spine, guessing that the old Taoist must have already seen through his disguise as a human rather than a tiger. In fact, when he used the Mountain-Sea-Seizing and Yin-Yang Absolute Breath Light, apart from the old Taoist, people such as Shi Lijing, Jia Chunqiu, and even the True Man of Xiashan probably all knew that he was not a real tiger.

Even though he always wore a tiger skin and used the transformation technique in battle to resemble the Golden-Winged Black Tiger even more, it is a fact that everyone knows that demonic beasts cannot use Taoist arts.

Although he used runes and spider lilies to conceal his use of the Yin-Yang Extinction Light, he could fool others, but he probably couldn't fool these old foxes.

The fact that his disguise had been revealed was slightly unpleasant, and the fact that he would be targeted by the Jade Wall Immortal and the Xia Mountain Hermit was even more unpleasant.

But compared to killing Huang Song, seizing everything from him, and obtaining the inheritance of the talismanic arts, that was nothing.

Tiger King bowed to Jade Wall Immortal, demonstrating politeness to the two evil cultivators from the Demon Tree Immortal Kingdom. Then, he took out talismans and, in front of all the cultivators, made imprints on the jade slips on the ground, putting them away only after making one. He wasn't afraid that Master Lijing would think he was holding back. This also taught many elders and disciples of the Desire Demon Sect how to behave.

After all the jade slips had been copied, the Tiger King stepped down from the arena.

As soon as he landed, he immediately asked the witch for credit. The witch's beautiful eyes were full of affection. Judging from her expression, if the occasion were not so inappropriate, Su Qing could have easily fulfilled his long-cherished wish and mounted his horse with just a few pink peach blossoms!

Unfortunately, the witch's feelings came and went quickly, and she missed this opportunity, not knowing when she would have another chance.

What a pity!

He returned all the treasures given to him by the witch, except for a personal protective robe and a golden iron beast. The witch insisted that he keep them for now, saying that he had lost many puppets and was also lacking in protective items. She said they did not need to be returned.

Su Qing was immediately moved upon hearing this, and rubbed his tiger head against the witch's chest as a token of his gratitude.

But the two didn't get close for long, because Shi Zhifang was watching from the side the whole time, brighter than the big red lantern above Gao Erqiang's head.

Let it shine, let it blind them!
Shi Zhifang's eyes blazed with fire, his heart burned with rage, and his entire body radiated light, making him an eyesore.

Upon seeing this, Su Qing immediately remembered the good things about her senior brother. She retrieved a tiger head from the witch's chest, swayed the tiger head, and walked up to her master.

“Fellow Daoist Master, I haven’t yet thanked you for coming on stage to increase the treasure. Great kindness needs no thanks. If you ever need my help in the future, please just give me a call. I will do my best. Even things that you can’t have your subordinates do, like stealing other people’s wives and daughters or thieving, I can do!”

Although this tiger is not very upright, it is grateful and not bad.

But who's trying to steal someone else's wife and daughter? Who's engaging in petty theft? To slander me like this in front of Yun'er, it must be intentional!
The master had no words to express his suffering, so he told the Tiger King to stop talking and quickly return the talisman seal to him.

Upon hearing this, the tiger king, with his tiger-like head and tiger-like face, actually showed a look of shame.

"I was just about to tell you about this seal, but I really don't know how to say it. This seal is supposed to be from the Desire Demon Sect. I am already very fortunate that you are willing to lend it to me. It is only right and proper to return what I have borrowed."

but······"

"You don't want to pay it back?" Upon hearing the Tiger King's stammering, Shi Zhifang was furious. Not only was he furious, but the elders and disciples behind him were also furious.

Over the years, it has always been the Desire Demon Sect that steals other people's things. Today, in front of them, this Tiger King is actually taking their Desire Demon Sect's things.

"It's not that Xiaohu is unwilling to return it, it's just that you can't use this talisman seal now!"

Seeing that the cultivators were about to start fighting at the slightest provocation, the Fierce Tiger King took out the Floating Life Seal.

The previously inactive and dull talisman now radiates vibrant light, accompanied by divine essence and Dao principles, making it exceptionally mysterious.

She looks like she ran off with someone and got cheated on!
This scene deeply moved Shi Zhifang and the elders and disciples of the Desire Demon Sect.

The one who was most seriously injured was the leader of the Desire Demon Sect, Shi Lijing.

He pushed through the crowd, walked to the talisman seal, looked at the seal, and then at the innocent-looking Tiger King.

It felt like a dream from eighty years ago, to the day I left the country early and to the scenes I encountered at home.

No one knows what happened that day.

But after that day, Zhifang lost both her mother and her third uncle.

He had possessed this talisman seal for hundreds of years, and had tried every means to please and protect it, but he dared not use it too much, and had never been able to gain its recognition as his master.

Unexpectedly, not only did the tiger king stand up and use it, but it also made the talisman recognize its master!

Green is magnificent, green is allowed to enter the house!
The talisman is like a person; today feels like yesterday.

Upon seeing the sect leader, who was always cruel to outsiders but kind to his own disciples, suddenly fly into a rage, burst open his robes, revealing more, denser, and uglier spiritual patterns than Shi Zhifang's.

No one knew why he was so angry, but everyone in the Desire Demon Sect, including Shi Zhifang, tried to persuade him.

"Sect Master, Sect Master, please don't act rashly!"

"Let's talk this out. Tiger King didn't do it on purpose!"

"Tiger King is young and inexperienced; anyone can make mistakes like that!"

"We didn't give it to outsiders anyway, isn't this Tiger King one of our own?"

······
It would have been better if they hadn't tried to persuade him; the more they tried, the more difficult it became for him to catch Shi Lijing.

Su Qing hadn't expected that a mere talisman seal, which no one in the Desire Demon Sect could use, would cause Shi Lijing to go berserk.

Is it really necessary to be so angry?
This talisman, born from the seal, can only exert its miraculous effect when it is blessed by the Myriad Manifestations Talisman Paper on this Dragon-Tiger Talisman Battle Platform. Normally, if one has not cultivated the Myriad Manifestations Talisman Technique, it is not even as good as a third-tier magic weapon. The Desire Demon Sect is large and powerful, and Master Li has many wives and concubines, so he probably wouldn't care.

Bah! What does this have to do with Shi Li having a large number of wives and concubines?

Su Qing, unaware of the meaning behind the Nine Li Dao Patterns' hint, cursed inwardly before bowing respectfully and obediently to his master:
"Sect Master, please forgive me. Little Tiger truly had no intention of touching this talisman seal. It was the seal that actively attached itself to Little Tiger. Little Tiger was completely unaware that it had become one with him."

Although Xiaohu's mistake was unintentional, he has done wrong and accepts punishment. This is a copy of the various inheritances of the Talisman Dao Sect made by Xiaohu. Please accept it, Sect Master, in the hope that it can make up for Xiaohu's mistake! Seeing the Fierce Tiger King bowing and presenting the Talisman Dao inheritance he had fought for through life and death.

Even Shi Zhifang, who was originally dissatisfied with him, felt that Tiger King had done more than enough.

Trading a useless magical artifact for the ten-thousand-year-old legacy of the Fu Dao Sect would be a huge profit for the Desire Demon Sect.

But to his surprise, his father, the sect leader, was so excessive today, and was still not satisfied.

“You are representing my sect in this battle. My sect should rightfully possess a share of this talismanic inheritance. However, the Talisman Life Seal is a treasure of my sect. Since you did not leave your soul fire to my sect, how can I grant you this treasure?”

Shi Lijing accepted the inheritance of the Fudao Sect handed over by the Fierce Tiger King. His sudden anger came and went quickly.

More than eighty years have passed, and Zhifang has progressed from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core. It's time for him to let go of what happened back then.

He chose to reconcile with himself, but he was not prepared to reconcile with the Tiger King.

Seeing that he wouldn't let it go, Su Qing's anger flared up. If it weren't for the fact that she still had to fight Jia Chunqiu later, she would have loved to rebel against this old man right now and let him take advantage of her and not listen to reason!
"The Tiger King is Yun'er's spirit beast. As long as Yun'er's soul fire falls into the sect, the Tiger King will be considered the sect's tiger. Yun'er can swear an oath to the sect leader that if she is fortunate enough to survive this matter, she will bring her soul fire into the sect's Soul Fire Hall!"

Liu Yun'er calmly stood in front of the Fierce Tiger King and spoke respectfully to Shi Li in a deep voice.

Only then did Shi Zhifang and the others realize what Shi Lijing's actions were all for.

He wanted Liu Yun'er to settle down and join the sect!
After joining the Demonic Sect, all disciples will introduce Soulfire into the Soulfire Hall. The sect uses this Soulfire to restrain their behavior, making it difficult for them to easily betray the sect.

However, after the disciples broke through their cultivation levels, the previous soul fire had almost no binding power over them, and they needed to guide their souls into the palace again.

For example, Jia Chunqiu was not in the sect when he advanced to the Golden Core stage, and he has been causing trouble outside the sect in recent years. Therefore, his Golden Core Soul Fire has never been introduced into the Soul Palace, so when he betrayed the sect, he did so cleanly and without much damage.

The same applies to Liu Yun'er. She advanced to the Golden Core stage and kept it hidden for a long time. Although she explained her concealment of her cultivation and identity from her disciples and elders by saying that she was afraid of Jia Chunqiu, it is an indisputable fact that her Golden Core soul fire was never introduced into the Soul Palace.

As a remnant of the Liu family, he has condensed a third-grade golden core and is proficient in several earth-level Dao techniques. If he can wholeheartedly serve the sect, he can completely offset the losses of the Desire Demon Sect due to the betrayal of the Joyful Old Demon and the previous deaths of several golden core masters.

The Desire Demon Sect is short of people! They lack someone like Liu Yun'er, whose combat strength and potential are both outstanding!
After all, everyone knows that after the White Cloud Immortal City was swallowed up by the Old Evil of Cloud Mountain, all the cultivation lands originally occupied by the Cloud Mountain Sect will be taken over by the Desire Demon Sect.

This lucrative prize may not be so easily devoured by the various immortal kingdoms of the Western Sea cultivation world; the Desire Demon Sect will have many more troublesome matters to deal with afterward.

They cannot afford to lose any more men; they need to unite all available resources.

Shi Lijing was afraid that Liu Yun'er might have some ulterior motives and not sincerely join the sect, so it was normal for him to put on this show to force her to make a statement.

Shi Zhifang was pleased with Liu Yun'er's statement, but seeing that the Fierce Tiger King behind Liu Yun'er remained silent, he felt contempt for him.

It's incredibly irresponsible of him to leave a woman to protect him without uttering a word.

Su Qing also had something to say.

It's not that he lacks responsibility.

This witch had already communicated with him, saying that in the future, he would take advantage of the power of the Desire Demon Sect to cultivate and develop in seclusion, and perhaps even have the ambition to launch a counterattack against Penglai.

They have their own careers to pursue, so they're meant to stay in the Desire Demon Sect anyway.

What could he say?
He was just a second-tier body cultivator. What could he say except to stand obediently by her side?
Liu Yun'er's statement softened Shi Lijing's expression.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, rest assured, after you leave the cave today, no one in our sect except me will know about your background!"
Furthermore, if the young friend behind you is willing to join my Desire Demon Sect, I, the sect master, guarantee that his status within our sect will not be lower than that of Jia Chunqiu before. Of course, whether or not he joins our sect is entirely up to him; we will not force him!

Liu Yun'er was sensible and respectful to her teacher, so she reciprocated by promising to do the same.

Upon hearing this, the elders and disciples of the Desire Demon Sect behind him were all used to it and did not voice any objection.

It's just erasing memories; the disciples of the Demonic Sect are used to it.

The Demon Sect's higher-ups have done a lot of dirty tricks. Every time they do something that shouldn't be known by too many people, those who know about it will undergo a memory wipe.

Will washing your hands too much make you stupid?

Rumors! They're absolutely rumors spread by cultivators from outside the sect trying to undermine the unity of their Desire Demon Sect!

They've washed themselves several times already, and they haven't turned into idiots, have they?

The elders and disciples did not object.

Shi Zhifang, however, was in a hurry.

"Father, Sect Master! You're even going to erase my memories?"

"You're my own son, how could I bear to erase your memories and damage your aptitude?" Shi Lijing whispered.

Because of the witch's statement and Shi Lijing's statement, the turmoil within the Desire Demon Sect was quickly quelled, leaving Jia Chunqiu, the evil cultivator of the Demon Tree, and other bystanders with great regret. Just now, they were all shouting in their hearts that a fight should break out!

After the arena battle, they all realized that the Desire Demon Sect, now gathered together in this cave, was their biggest rival in the competition for the Five Elders' Dao Mark.

If Shi Lijing could join forces with the Fierce Tiger King, it would be best if he could also bring the witch Liu Yun'er into the fray.

That would be wonderful!
It's a pity that a fight didn't break out!
By this time, Jia Chunqiu, now without Huang Song, was standing with the two evil cultivators from the Demon Tree.

This is also normal.

One is inhuman, the other two are rude; in such a competitive environment, it's perfectly normal for them to take a liking to each other and band together.

With the combined strength of the three of them, they might be able to snatch the Nascent Soul artifact from the second jade platform from the Desire Demon Sect!
By this time, all the cultivators in the cave had their eyes fixed on the second jade platform.

Su Qing was anxious to clear out Huang Song's gains, repair the damaged puppets, and have Shi Zhifang explain to him what shady places existed in the various immortal cities of the Desire Demon Sect, where shady businesses could be conducted, so that he could later criticize them. These were just some of the many important things Su Qing needed to do.

He also took a moment to glance at the nascent spirit object.

Immortality is difficult, spiritual cultivation is arduous, and every step upward has various conditions that keep countless people out.

Those who cultivate Qi but lack spiritual roots and physical constitution can only remain mortals and have no chance to enter the path of cultivation.

Foundation Establishment: Without Foundation Establishment Pills, one cannot establish a foundation. Even if one establishes a foundation after the age of fifty, it can only prolong life and has no real path to enlightenment.

To condense the Golden Elixir, one must use the wondrous method of elixir formation, select a third-tier spiritual vein, and ingest a fourth-tier Heart-Cleansing Pill. This pill is used to calm the mind and concentrate the spirit, preventing the growth of inner demons. Once external demons invade, one can then attempt to condense the elixir.

Among them, the third-tier spiritual veins are the easiest to obtain. Joining a Golden Core sect provides access to spiritual veins for cultivation. Even if one does not join a sect, like the witch, one can hide in the Hundred Beast Mountain Range and secretly advance using the spiritual veins of the demon beast clan without much consequence.

As for the wonderful method to achieve a Golden Elixir of Grade 3 or above, it is indeed rare and hard to find. However, apart from the top-grade Golden Elixir, the middle and lower-grade Golden Elixir is not a Golden Elixir.
As long as you don't make things difficult for yourself, becoming a mid-to-low-grade Golden Elixir cultivator with a lifespan of several thousand years is not a problem.

Although fourth-order Qingxin Pills are rare, there are still a few fourth-order alchemists in the Western Sea cultivation world. They open their alchemy furnaces every ten or one hundred years.

There's no need to worry that some Nascent Soul sects or Nascent Soul cultivators will commit such heinous acts as monopolizing this pill to prevent its outflow and cutting off the path to advancement for other cultivators in the Western Sea cultivation world.

This elixir has always circulated smoothly in the various immortal kingdoms of the Western Sea; as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can always buy it.

Therefore, compared to the difficulty of building a foundation.

The path to forming a nascent soul requires the use of a special artifact.

That's the most difficult part.
