Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 72 Snowy Night
"Pah, a bunch of poor bastards!"

Su Qing put away the three storage bags she found disgusting.

The reason there are three is because the remaining few thieves can't even afford storage bags!

The three storage bags contained little more than some bewitching powder, bone-softening powder, and essential items for thieves like odor-masking talismans and lightness-body talismans.

It is said that murder and robbery are the best ways for cultivators to get rich quickly.

Su Qing, who was committing murder for the first time, was deeply skeptical of this viewpoint.

The three storage bags weren't even low-grade storage bags; they were merely animal skin bags with first-order space runes drawn on them, the work of a weapon-refining apprentice.

Its internal storage space is only about half the size of a room, barely enough to fit two or three lizard warriors.

If sold to the public, it would only fetch a hundred or so spirit crystals at most.

"It seems that not only are thief cultivators hopeless, but even calamity cultivators have little future. Killing a few people doesn't earn me as much as I do making two puppets!"

Upon discovering the positive aspects of the Puppet Master profession, Su Qing immediately dispelled the unpleasantness she had felt during the day.

So what if I offended a witch?

They might not even take me seriously.

Why worry about things that are bound to happen?
As for Xiao Ziqiang calling out "Fellow Daoist Feng" before he died.

Su Qing never considered it a threat.

My men are all in such a sorry state, how strong can that fellow Daoist Feng be? Besides, I'm the one who suffered the most. Does he really dare to turn around and come to my door to beat me up?
"Hey! There really are people this rude!"

The vision transmitted by the hummingbird puppet amused Su Qing.

With the groundbreaking ceremony for the forward camp, the Yunshanzong law enforcement team moved in.

Ma Tuan and the others are no longer responsible for daily patrols. Of course, if Su Qing and the others have any trouble, they can go to them.

It was late at night, and snowflakes, like willow catkins, began to fall from the sky. The law enforcement team had just finished their patrol, and their footprints had not yet been covered by the snowflakes.

As they left, a group of people stealthily made their way to the vicinity of Su Qingling's house.

It's clear that these people are all highly skilled.

Fa Xiu is skilled in using various Taoist techniques such as lightness technique, wind technique, and silence technique.

Whether it's physical cultivation or the outward release of strength, one can move three inches off the ground as if shifting horizontally, or take a step of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) as if stepping on a gentle breeze.

The group passed silently by, leaving no trace in the snow.

If Su Qing hadn't been prepared, she wouldn't have even known they had sneaked into the house.

"Is he a demonic cultivator, or a cultivator undergoing tribulation?"

It should be noted that everyone in this forward camp knows that demonic cultivators are lurking.

If a disciple of the Demonic Sect were to kill her and seize power in order to curry favor with Liu Yun'er, it would be easy to understand.

Without much thought, Su Qing ordered the lizard captain to first test the quality of these people with the dual-bladed lizards and lizard warriors.

If these people are not strong enough, then there's nothing to say.

If these people are slightly stronger, then he will have no choice but to call for help.

Qinghe had given each of them a talisman long ago. Once activated, it would immediately let the others know their location and send them to their aid.

With this layer of protection, he remained relatively calm when he first encountered thieves at his door.

"Boss, I feel like I'm being watched by a bunch of things, it's really unsettling!"

Li Wulang whispered to Feng Tianyang, who was walking ahead.

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianyang raised his right hand, signaling the group to stop.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he used his keen senses to observe his surroundings, seeing in all directions, hearing in all directions, and discerning locations by the sound of the wind, yet he sensed nothing. However, the internal cultivation method he practiced was the internal cultivation of metal and fire essence, which was good for attack, but in terms of perception, it was not as good as Li Wulang's internal cultivation of water and wood essence.

Therefore, even though they hadn't discovered anything, they remained vigilant, looking at Goro with questioning eyes to hear his explanation.

"It's not a living thing; I can't sense any fluctuations in its magical power or blood energy. It must be a puppet!"

Li Wulang said decisively, his words full of confidence.

"Do you need to tell me now!"

Feng Tianyang was furious. He looked up at the green-skinned lizards that had surrounded their group.

"Is this Fellow Daoist Su? I, Feng, have come to visit late at night, and you entertain us with puppets?"
"What? You really want to clash with our Heavenly Tribulation Gang?"

Surrounded by puppets, Feng Tianyang showed no fear.

Although this was different from his plan.

According to intelligence, although Su Qing is a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining, he is not proficient in Taoist arts.

All they had to rely on was a squad of lizard warriors and two armored war bears.

He himself was a peak first-order body cultivator, and Li Wulang was only one step away from becoming a peak body cultivator. The other three magic cultivators were all at the seventh level of Qi Refining or above.

The group was engaged in the business of robbing cultivators. They were not good at anything else, but they never relaxed their Taoist arts and combat skills. Dealing with a few puppets was a piece of cake for them.

According to Feng Tianyang's plan, they should sneak into Su Qingling's room without anyone noticing, without even giving him a chance to use his puppet.

If he's sensible enough to join their Heavenly Tribulation Gang in the future, then he can just pay ten or twenty thousand spirit crystals as a joining fee for this conflict, and that'll be the end of it.

If he doesn't know what's good for him, he'll be dealt a severe blow, showing him what happens when you mess with the wrong person.

But it seems like things have gone wrong with this plan?
Before they could even get close enough to infiltrate their territory, they were already surrounded by their puppets.

Moreover, aren't there too many lizard warriors? And isn't the leader of the lizard warriors a bit too strong and tall? Also, what's with those lizard warriors wielding dual swords?

Feng Tianyang sensed something was wrong, but he didn't think that he and his group couldn't handle it.

He decided to give Su Qing a chance.

silence.

There was a long silence.

The moment Feng Tianyang could no longer restrain himself and revealed his murderous intent.

The lizard captain, wielding a mantis knife, took the first step.

The blade flashed, slicing through the snowflakes, and the attacker closed in, aiming straight for Feng Tianyang's head.

Feng Tianyang's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He dodged to the side and struck out with his palm. Golden light flashed in his palm, and it collided with the lizard captain's arm, producing a muffled sound of metal clashing.

Having dodged the attack, he lowered his body and suddenly lunged forward. During the process, his body seemed to inflate as if it were being pumped up, growing larger and larger, like a ferocious beast going berserk. He grabbed the lizard captain around the waist with one arm and flung him dozens of meters away!
"Fellow Daoist Su, how are you now? Can you come out and talk to me now?"

Having forced back the most formidable of the lizard warriors with a single blow, Feng Tianyang was at the height of his power.

That puppet was truly not to be underestimated; its strength and speed were almost on par with a first-tier high-grade body cultivator.

It was only because his combat skills were slightly rudimentary that he was forced back by his attack. An ordinary body cultivator would never have been able to fight him so easily.

It was this puppet that made him realize Su Qing's value.

If such a puppeteer is willing to join their Heavenly Tribulation Gang, then let's waive the ten thousand or eight thousand in membership fees for him!

Feng Tianyang has always been someone who cherishes talent.

However, he was met with silence, and the Lizard Captain, who had made a comeback, along with four dual-wielding Lizards!
