Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 301 Kill the Old Demon, Skin the Fire Phoenix
The audacious old demon Huanxi dared to kidnap a princess and make her his spirit beast!

Heaven have mercy, Su Qing is bold enough, at most she only dared to help Pang Feifan get a Gangjing Pig King and make a puppet template for Princess Huofeng.

This old scoundrel, with no scruples, forcibly modified the Fire Phoenix Princess, and now he is using her to fight against the Dragon Armor Demon Lizard!
Princess Fire Phoenix possesses pure bloodline. After being forcibly branded with fourth-tier demon beast runes by the old demon, she transformed into a fire phoenix, far surpassing the fire phoenix phantom condensed by Su Qing, and even exceeding the fire phoenix puppet of the witch.

The Fire Phoenix fought the Demon Lizard. Although the Dragon Armor Demon Lizard was protected by dragon scales and tortoise shells, it could twist its hips and sway its hindquarters to heal its injuries with blood spirit runes. The leg bone in its hand was swung around like a Vajra Buddha practicing the Vajra Pestle technique.

Defeating Princess Fire Phoenix isn't too difficult, but it will take time.

In that short time, the Joyful Old Demon was able to use his magic to obliterate or severely injure him!
With Princess Fire Phoenix revealing this trump card, Jia Chunqiu also looked resolute. After leaving the cave today, there would be no place for him to stand in this vast Western Sea cultivation world. Those madmen from the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom would definitely hold on to him and never let go!

Escaping the Western Sea and fleeing to the Central Plains was his only option, but before he could leave, he needed to obtain everything he deserved.

He wants the Yin Codex, the Yin Profound Pill, and the Crimson Jade Marrow!

Driven to the brink of despair, the old demon's evil fire flared up, and the crimson-black flames that filled the sky and the earth converged into a long flaming whip, which he gripped in his hand and swung at the Dragon Armor Demon Lizard.

Scorching like the sun, the fire whip was poisoned. It was a top-grade earth-level Taoist technique called Poison Dragon Whip, which was used by the dragon armor demon lizard. Every time it struck, the dragon armor demon lizard had to dodge with all its might, so it had no time to pay attention to the fire phoenix princess's attacks. The fierce flames burned its body, and the dragon armor demon lizard gradually showed signs of being unable to hold on.

Su Qing saw it all and felt a pang of pain in her heart!
This is a wonderful treasure. He hasn't even used it himself yet, and now that he's lending it to someone else for the first time, it's going to be worn out. He wonders if the witch will take responsibility afterwards.

He felt sorry for the Dragon Armored Demon Lizard, but not for the witch.

The reason was that he knew very well that the witch had those third-tier puppet beasts to deal with the old demon's illusory dream, and she probably had already returned to her body by now, her consciousness as clear as ever, just waiting to find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the old demon.

And the victim of this search for opportunity was his Dragon Armor Demon Lizard.

Hey, she really doesn't care about borrowed things.

Like me!

Su Qing watched as the outer blood spirit crystal of the Dragon Armor Demon Lizard, burned by Princess Fire Phoenix, melted, and the dragon scales turned from golden yellow to reddish black. It was almost cooked, and Su Qing felt the same heartache as when Shi Lijing returned home eighty years ago!
Fortunately, the Dragon Armored Demon Lizard was clever enough to intervene just as things were about to turn bad.

It broke on its own!
The fourth-tier intelligent rune activated, and the Dragon Armor Demon Lizard, though its body was burning hot, remained calm and collected, observing the situation and realizing that it was time to die.

He died instantly!

It turned into a pool of dark brown blood and mud, falling to the ground, looking exactly like it had been burned to ashes by Princess Fire Phoenix.

Such behavior left the old demon with no doubt whatsoever.

With his superior Taoist arts and Princess Fire Phoenix's attacks, this puppet has managed to hold on until now, and its performance is no worse than that of the two giant spirit soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom.

With the monstrous lizard that had blocked his path dead, a clear road now lay between him and the witch, allowing him to roam freely, devour the witch, consume the Yin Pill, and achieve the Xuan realm!

Overwhelmed with joy, his body and soul seemed to tremble. The illegitimate son who had been expelled from the Liu family in the past was about to swallow the last bloodline of the Liu family and become a second-grade golden core that the Liu family was proud of!
After years of scheming and enduring for hundreds of years, he was finally able to reclaim everything that was rightfully his!
Anyone would be excited in that situation.

However, those in the cultivation world should avoid getting easily agitated.

Even the puppet, the Dragon Armor Demon Lizard, knows how to use its brain and play dead.

Now that the old devil of joy has lost his mind, his fate is unlikely to be good.

Amidst the attention of all the cultivators, the cunning witch—no, the clever witch—was watching as the old demon of joy shamelessly approached him.

His previously dull and listless expression suddenly became lively, and he quickly put on a pair of black goggles.

He had been holding a third-tier Radiant Bird in his hand for a long time, and then suddenly released it.

A blinding light shone brightly within a radius of several miles, not only blinding the cultivators but also making it difficult for them to perceive with their divine sense.

While everyone else was covered in white from the dazzling light of the bird, among all the cultivators present, only Su Qing, who was also wearing goggles, was able to observe the situation on the arena.

But the old demon, who was so close to the witch and had been blinded by the dazzling bird, now had bloodshot eyes and a turbulent mind. Even his control over the Fire Phoenix Princess was momentarily severed.

In just that short time, Princess Fire Phoenix, her eyes bloodshot, leaped toward her former master, intending to kill the scoundrel on the spot.

Liu Yun'er, facing the old demon head-on, showed no mercy, unleashing a barrage of Taoist techniques such as the Profound Spiritual Light, the Yin-Yang Absolute Breath Slash, and the Ice Jade Seal upon the old demon.

Even though the old demon instinctively used his Fire Poison Dharma Form to protect himself, with a long whip and fire dragon wrapped around his body, and was also protected by his Dharma Robes and Dharma Instruments.

However, with his soul disturbed by the Radiant Bird and unable to use his magic for the time being, how could he possibly be a match for the Fire Phoenix Princess and the Witch who attacked from both sides?

Once the effects of the Radiant Bird wore off and the cultivators below the arena regained their sight, all they saw was a pool of blood and mud on the arena, being repeatedly ravaged by Princess Fire Phoenix and Liu Yun'er.

They seemed terrified that the old demon wouldn't die, and they also hated the old demon so much that they feared he would die a good death.

Princess Fire Phoenix roasted the old demon's golden pill.

The witch meticulously cleaned the old demon's body inch by inch, and the soul banner in her hand directly absorbed the old demon's soul into the banner.

The elixir, soul, and body are all ravaged. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would die completely from such torment!

"Hiss, the old demon deserved to die, but he's already dead, so there's no need for this!"

"Female cultivators can be terrifying when they get ruthless!"

"Stop it, stop this, it's inhumane if you keep going!"

"You go and tell them?"

How could I possibly dare to go!

"Then who will go and say it!"

"I'll speak!" Su Qing stepped forward from the crowd.
Princess Fire Phoenix, the witch Liu Yun'er, was ruthless, which terrified the cultivators below the stage into silence.

But Su Qing wasn't afraid. He had turned both women into puppets before, and he had even embraced one of them when he was quitting drinking. Even if he was cruel now, he still... Hiss, so cruel. Will he have a trauma when he thinks of this scene when he faces Princess Leopard and Hongshang in the future?

Regardless of the future, just looking at the present, he still dared to speak up and stop the two women's violence.

"Princess Fire Phoenix, please slow down the burning. Burning it like this is so inefficient. I have a pill-refining furnace that I use to refine this old demon's golden pill."

"Fellow Daoist Yun'er, please stop for now. Take this old demon's bones—ah, no bones left? Then put his flesh and bones into a jar. I'll grind and break him down when I get back; I should be able to make a few bottles of Blood Spirit Talisman Water. I'll give you a bottle then!"

Because what Su Qing said made sense, mainly because his methods of dealing with the old demon were more brutal and economical.

Having vented their anger, the witch and the Fire Phoenix Princess stopped fighting at the same time.

At this point, the witch and the Fire Phoenix Princess, having dealt with their common enemy, looked at each other, seemingly poised for an immediate and fierce battle.

"Don't even think about taking that beast ring to enslave me!" Princess Feng Shen of the Fire Phoenix Clan said coldly.

"Fellow Daoist is already bound to this beast ring. It's better for Yun'er to get this beast ring than for someone else to get it."

Liu Yun'er said truthfully that it was indeed better for Princess Fire Phoenix to fall into her hands than into the hands of other cultivators. After all, both she and Princess Fire Phoenix knew how disgusting male cultivators were.

"I implore you, fellow Daoist, to destroy this beast ring. Even if Feng Shen dies, she will never again be a human spirit beast!"

"Fellow Daoist, why go to such lengths? There are ways to remove the runes in the world. Simply remove the demon beast runes, and you will be free from the beast rings' restraints and can return to being the Fire Phoenix Princess. It's not an incurable problem!"

"Fellow Daoist Liu, do you know this technique?"

“Yun’er doesn’t know how, but someone else does.”

"But would those who know how choose to acquire a spirit beast, the Fire Phoenix, or expend the effort to release it? They'd only be drawing more runes for me, right?"

"Indeed, even Yun'er is somewhat tempted by you, but since you are unwilling to be Yun'er's spirit beast, then Yun'er will let you be free?"

"Kill me!"

Princess Fire Phoenix's eyes revealed a resolute look. Even though she could not transform into human form, the despair and desolation in her phoenix eyes were enough to evoke sorrow in people.

Originally a second-generation divine beast, inheriting phoenix blood, he had the potential to rule an immortal kingdom and advance to the Nascent Soul stage. However, due to the poisonous hand of an old demon, he became neither human nor phoenix nor demon, and had no choice but to die, thus ending his cultivation journey.

The cultivators below the stage could not bear to watch.

Of course, what the demonic cultivators couldn't bear wasn't Princess Fire Phoenix's fate, but rather their regret at not having the opportunity to control the beast ring and enslave her. Bah! A bunch of scum.

Su Qing was different; he truly couldn't bear to see Princess Fire Phoenix die.

Princess Fire Phoenix has some Phoenix Boiling Sea Patterns on her body.

If we could have taken a good look at him, with his talent, we could have gained something. It's such a pity he died.

"Don't die yet! I know how to remove runes, and I'm willing to help you remove yours too!"

I don't know if the Mountain and Sea can be separated, but we should first keep the Fire Phoenix Princess calm and prevent her from wanting to die. She's a perfectly fine young girl with hundreds or thousands of years to live. What's with her wanting to die?

As soon as he spoke, the cultivators below the stage all turned their heads, their eyes filled with contempt. They thought to themselves that this Tiger King was truly shameless, actually trying to trick the Fire Phoenix into becoming his spirit beast. He himself was a spirit beast, yet he wanted to trick others into becoming spirit beasts? Could you even pull that off?
The Fire Phoenix and the Witch below the stage also turned their gazes over.

Feng Shen looked mocking, not believing Su Qing's words at all. It was clear that after being deceived by the old devil once, he now had a very strong sense of anti-fraud.

The witch's face turned frosty, and she looked at Su Qing with icy eyes, saying, "Why are you looking at her like that!"

The implication is, "Don't you think I'm good enough?"
Having dealt with witches for a long time, Su Qing could understand the meaning behind a single glance without them even saying it.

But even though you're prettier than her, you don't have any Daoist markings on your body!

"Why do you care what I'm doing watching her? Bring her down here, and Little Tiger will have the ability to save her!"

Su Qing was getting increasingly irritated by the stares of the cultivators and the two women on the stage. Why didn't anyone believe him? He genuinely wanted to do good deeds!
In the spiritual practice world, doing good deeds and being a good person is extremely rare.

Nobody believed him.

Witches are always skeptical, but compared to others, they are still willing to give him a chance.

Of course, if he lied and intended to harm Princess Fire Phoenix, Liu Yun'er would be extremely ruthless towards him.

Liu Yun'er whispered a few words to Feng Shen, which made Feng Shen nod slightly, deciding to give Su Qing, and himself, a chance.

After the witch collected the Joyful Old Demon's storage bag along with the beast ring...

On the arena, another evil cultivator from the Demon Tree appeared.

Clearly, they are not planning to give the witch time to recover.

But the witch was also carefree. She had come for Jia Chunqiu and had no desire for the spirit that had formed the infant. At this moment, she transformed into thousands of red flowers and instantly teleported to the audience.

As soon as she stepped off the stage, Shi Lijing gave her a slight nod to show his approval of her performance and did not mind her current behavior of avoiding the battle.

Being able to fight and kill the Joyful Old Demon was already a great achievement. Not only him, but also the elders and disciples of the Desire Demon Sect praised her highly along the way, their words full of respect.

Because everyone knows that, given the methods the witch just displayed on stage, her future status within the Desire Demon Sect will obviously not be low. Those of us who are weak and powerless Foundation Establishment cultivators or old and incompetent Golden Core cultivators may have to rely on her in the future, so it's always right to be respectful to her.

With the demoness off the stage, other Golden Core cultivators from the Demon Sect will take her place and fight against the evil cultivator from the Demon Tree.

This has nothing to do with Su Qing or the witch.

When Master Fang held the Soul Refining Banner again, intending to go on stage to fight the evil cultivator and avenge his previous humiliation, he wanted to show Yun'er that he was not an incompetent person.

His gaze swept across the audience, but he only saw Liu Yun'er, Princess Fire Phoenix, and that sly and unserious Tiger King walking into the Nest House together!

That Huang Song is truly despicable. He's dead, so be it. Why leave this thieving tiger a shrine for him to use for his shameful deeds?

Fuming with rage, Shi Zhifang launched a powerful attack on the evil tree cultivator on the stage, leaving him only able to parry and unable to retaliate.

He thought to himself, how could demonic cultivators be even more ruthless than evil cultivators? What had he done to offend Shi Zhifang that made him so desperate? His family still had a sect and immortal kingdom to inherit, so why was he competing with an evil cultivator like him who had nothing but to fight?

Master Fang was incredibly valiant, which made the lustful cultivators below the stage frantically lick his boots. It was just a pity that the person who should have been watching was not there, nor was the person he wanted to lick. This display of valor was only for show, which was unpleasant.

However, when Master's methods were cruel, Yu Shi was feeling depressed.

Inside the nest.

Su Qing, who was being stared at by the witch, wished that she would stop looking at him and go out to see if his brother Fang was beating someone or getting beaten up!
The witch was dressed in white, her face frosty, and her eyes gleaming with cold light. She had never been this cold, not even when she looked at the Happy Old Demon.

Su Qing felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze and dared not meet her eyes, so she could only keep her eyes on the naked Fire Phoenix Princess.

It wasn't that he liked watching "Fire Phoenix" because it was good-looking; it was simply that the doctor's compassion made it impossible for him to watch.
"Is it beautiful?" the witch asked coldly.

"Not even a fraction as good as you, fellow Daoist!" Su Qing said calmly.

"Want to touch it?" the witch's voice grew even colder.

"This isn't appropriate, and it's unnecessary," Su Qing thought to herself.

"Could you two please stop chatting for a moment? Feng Shen can only maintain her human form for a short while, and she's about to give up!"

Princess Fire Phoenix was suffering in her heart, and her perseverance was also arduous. She knew that the man and woman might be having an affair, but she had no time to gossip at the moment, after all, she was the one being watched while lying down.

“Fellow Daoist Feng Shen, there is no need to transform into human form. When I said earlier that you should maintain your original form, I meant your phoenix form. You have clearly misunderstood!”

Therefore, it would be foolish to do good deeds anonymously. Upon entering the house, Su Qing removed her disguise and changed back into human form, so that Princess Fire Phoenix could take a good look at her and remember who her benefactor was, and who she should seek to repay the favor in the future.

He transformed the rosy-cheeked Fire Phoenix Princess into a phoenix, parted her phoenix feathers to examine her closely from head to toe, and made her recount how she had fallen into the hands of the old demon.

"That old demon disguised himself as a member of the Fire Phoenix Clan and served you for over a decade before gaining your trust? You're far too gullible!"

"Because the old demon wanted to offer you as a sacrifice to the Huang family patriarch, he didn't do anything to you except brand you with runes. Do you think I believe that? Oh no, it's truly a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune!"

"Fellow Daoist's bloodline has mutated, and what you awakened is not the Dao Pattern Phoenix Boiling the Sea, but the Dao Pattern Nirvana Fire? Even if you die, only a wisp of your soul will remain, and you can be reborn in the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom by turning into an egg. No wonder you were willing to die to break free from the control of the beast ring. I thought you were truly unafraid of death!"

"You're not afraid of death, you're only afraid of being deceived. If I'm not able to remove your runes, you'll self-destruct your golden core and imprint me deep in your soul. After you've been reborn, you'll surely make sure I die without a burial place? That's completely unnecessary!"

Princess Fire Phoenix was terribly deceived by the old demon. Although she did not lose her virginity, she almost did. At this moment, because Liu Yun'er did not refine the beast ring, she gained some trust, allowing Su Qing to touch her.

But if Su Qing's actions fail to help her recover, she will definitely cause a medical dispute.

At this point, Su Qing began to regret her decision.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Does being a good person mean you deserve to die?

He wanted to try to save her and, incidentally, complete the Feng Zhu Hai project.

At the moment, I haven't seen Feng Zhuhai, but I have seen the Six Departments Dao Pattern Nirvana Fire. Although it is not bad, as it has the ability to be reborn by borrowing fire, it is still inferior to Feng Zhuhai.

The reward was not as high as expected; on the contrary, there was the risk of being hunted down by Princess Fire Phoenix and the entire Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom after failure.

That would be a loss.

After realizing that although Princess Fire Phoenix was hot and passionate, she was not very cunning.

To avoid her settling scores later after she recovered, Su Qing patted his storage bag and released the princess leopard, deciding to settle things once and for all.

"To be honest, the reason I saved the princess is that when I was young and ignorant, I was so amazed by your beauty that I couldn't resist creating a few puppets in your likeness."

I have indeed offended you, fellow Daoist. I only hope that by saving you today, you will forgive my humble efforts.

Su Qing spoke sincerely. Compared to the thousands of units sold in the Lizard series, the Princess series has only sold a hundred or so so far. Although the profit is high, the sales volume is low, and it is indeed only a small number.

As he spoke, he gave the witch a meaningful look, signaling that if the Fire Phoenix Princess were to suddenly lash out, she should help him restrain her.

Unexpectedly, when Princess Fire Phoenix glanced at Princess Leopard, her previously low spirits were suddenly lifted, her eyes lit up, and she spread her phoenix wings, ready to embrace Princess Leopard on the spot.

The excitement was so great that it surpassed even Wei Debao's excitement when he first met Princess Leopard, which truly exceeded Su Qing's expectations.
