Immortality begins with meditation puppets

"When dogs fight, they get all dirty. Infighting among living beings has been common since ancient times. It's laughable that they say I, the demons, am the biggest destabilizing factor in all the heavens and myriad realms. In reality, they are the ones who are the biggest destabilizing factor. From ancient times to the present, there have been many great calamities in the world. Of these, only one was caused by me, the demons, and the ancient demonic calamity. However, there have been many great calamities caused by infighting among living beings."

"Looking at them now, they've already started fighting amongst themselves without us even lifting a finger. Let them fight it out. We should get back to our business. Have we found out where the fragments of the 72nd Grade Jade Disc of Creation are? If we've confirmed it, we'll split up and set off to collect as many fragments as possible before the other creatures can react!"

Good things don't always come true, but bad things do. Tong Chang's premonition was right. This civil war between the Eastern King Sect and the Western Sea cultivation world did indeed have the shadow of evil behind it.

But the Demon Buddha didn't actually do much. He merely used the Great Path of Merit to confuse the secrets of Heaven, preventing Tong Chang, the Celestial Master of this world, and other powerful beings like the Primordial Sect from sensing it in advance. The Demon Buddha and the evil spirits did nothing more than take action regarding the outbreak and development of this event.

As it says, it was the selfish, infighting nature of the creatures that triggered this great war, and it had little to do with their evil nature.

Because of this internal strife among the living beings, the attention of all the major sects and forces in the heavens has been drawn to it. This allows the demons, who have been plotting for hundreds of years, to seize the opportunity to obtain the first treasure in the world, the Primordial Treasure Creation Jade Butterfly Fragment, without interference from the living beings.

What most cultivators in the present world are unaware of is that in ancient times, besides the three patriarchs of the Dao lineage and the seven saints including the Snail Queen and the Earth Goddess, there was a unique Dao Ancestor whose rank and supernatural powers were even higher than theirs.

This Dao Ancestor is the embodiment of the Dao, acting on behalf of Heaven. In the primordial and ignorant era, he preached the Dao to all living beings, which led to the great rise of the Xuanmen (mysterious sect) and the widespread dissemination of Daoist teachings. He is the true source of all methods, the foundation of Daoist teachings, and the creator of the cultivation world.

After fulfilling his mission on behalf of Heaven, this Dao Ancestor naturally passed away, dispersing all the Dao patterns and fruits he had mastered, so that all living beings could comprehend them.

The incident occurred so long ago that only major powers that have inherited the knowledge from ancient times could know about it. The three sects of the Dao lineage that knew about it were praised by the various sects of the heavens as the source of the Dao, and the contributions of that Dao Ancestor were attributed to them, thus gaining great benefits. Therefore, they did not publicize this Dao Ancestor much, so that in the present world, very few cultivators know of the existence of this Dao Ancestor.

As a demon born from the evil thoughts of heaven and earth, the Demon Buddha knows everything that has happened since the creation of heaven and earth, and will not ignore this being who has the highest Taoist magic and the strongest cultivation from ancient times to the present.

In ancient times, the Demon Buddha studied this Dao Ancestor and thus gained the power to fight against the then-flourishing cultivation world. He came to the present world with the intention of finding ways to fight against the living beings of the present world from the various treasures left behind by this Dao Ancestor.

It should be noted that although this Dao Ancestor dispersed his Dao Fruit and could not be resurrected, he distributed all the treasures he had collected since the beginning of time to the three thousand Daoists who listened to his teachings.

Among these treasures are renowned innate treasures such as the Pangu Banner, the Taiji Diagram, the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds, and the Thirty-Six Grade Chaos Green Lotus. As for top-grade innate spiritual treasures such as the Five Innate Banners and the Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform, many of them were passed down from him.

These treasures, possessed by ancient powerful beings, shone brightly in ancient times, leaving behind numerous legends of immortals and heroes. They also played a significant role in the subsequent fight against evil spirits. Some of these treasures are still sealing and suppressing evil spirits to this day.

Having been struck by these treasures, demons and other evil beings have a deep understanding of their power. Therefore, after the calamity of the present world began, in addition to plotting to seize the bodies and fruits of the ancient great beings, they also focused some of their attention on seizing these magical treasures.

Among them, the more successful ones included the Reincarnation Demon who plotted to seize the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, and the Evil Sword Demon who corrupted the Immortal-Trapping Sword. Although they failed in their endeavors and the treasures were eventually snatched back by the living beings, there were always some that were not snatched back by the living beings.

For example, the Chaos Demon, one of the Twelve Heavenly Demon Generals, now possesses the Heavenly Celebration Cloud and has transformed it into the Heavenly Demon Cloud. With this treasure protecting him, he is invincible in battles against others. Even if he can't win, he can always escape. Previously, when the Demon Buddha was hiding in the Tianyuan Realm preparing to establish the Evil Heavenly Court, he was pierced by Su Qing's arrow with the Xuanyuan Bow and was besieged by several seventh-order Dao Lords. The reason he was able to escape in time was because of the Heavenly Demon Cloud he borrowed from the Chaos Demon.

The Heavenly Demon Clouds, being merely a supreme innate treasure, already possessed such power, yet the Demon Buddha was not satisfied with this and sought to devise an even stronger and better treasure.

Among them, the treasure he most desired was the Jade Disc of Creation, which appeared behind him whenever the Dao Ancestor preached to all beings, and which was used to expound the Daoist teachings for all cultivators.

This treasure has neither offensive nor defensive capabilities; in combat, it may not be as useful as a primordial spiritual treasure.

However, its functions and effects are unmatched by all the innate spiritual treasures in the heavens combined.

Its greatest function is to assist cultivators in deducing the Great Dao. The Three Thousand Great Daos and all kinds of Dao patterns can be mastered and utilized by it. How to maximize its power can all be deduced by it. Cultivators only need to follow the clues to naturally unite with the Great Dao and become Dao Masters.

Furthermore, it can deduce various Daoist techniques and supernatural powers according to its own needs. For example, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Divine Powers and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Divine Powers, which have been pursued by countless cultivators since ancient times, were created by the Dao Ancestor through this Creation Jade Disc. Another example is the Eight-Nine Profound Techniques created by the Primordial Ancestor, which is said to have been created with the assistance of this treasure. And this one technique alone has successively made powerful Daoist masters such as Yuan Hong, the Martial Saint among Apes, and Yang Jian, the Erlang True Lord.

From this, we can see how powerful the Jade Butterfly of Creation is. If living beings obtain this treasure, combined with the background of the revival of the Heavenly Origin and the surge of spiritual energy, the strength of cultivators will obviously increase explosively, and it will not be difficult to repeat the ancient golden age.

If these demons obtain this treasure, they can use it to manipulate more Dao patterns, create more high-ranking demons and even Heavenly Demon Generals, and gain an advantage in the arms race with living beings.

More importantly, the Demon Buddha was acutely aware of another, unknown effect of this Jade Tablet of Creation.

If the ancient Dao Ancestor was the embodiment of the Dao, then the Creation Jade Butterfly, his accompanying spiritual treasure, was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.

Possessing this treasure allows one to replace the Heavenly Emperor in exercising the will of Heaven and Earth, playing a crucial role in its preparation for the Evil Heavenly Court.

Unfortunately, the Jade Disc of Creation shattered along with that Dao Ancestor in ancient times, breaking into seventy-two fragments that scattered throughout the chaotic void and various corners of the myriad worlds.

During the ancient demonic calamity, the Demon Buddha secretly plotted for many years before collecting half of the Creation Jade Discs. With only this half of the Creation Jade Discs, he was able to lead the demons to contend with the cultivation world at its peak, led by the three sects of the Dao lineage and the countless holy beings. In the end, he forced the Seven Saints to self-destruct their Dao fruits, causing the Buddhist sect to perish and the Witch Clan to be wiped out. He achieved a major victory, and the battle has left the myriad realms of the heavens and the myriad worlds still unable to recover their vitality.

With the example of the ancient demonic tribulation succeeding, the Demon Buddha naturally couldn't forget about the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation when he came to the present world.

According to its calculations, these seventy-two fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation are different from other treasures that appear in the present world. They will not only fall into the Tianyuan Realm, but will fall into the chaotic void, in any corner of the myriad worlds, just like in ancient times. Moreover, the divine object is self-concealing, and it is extremely difficult to search for its traces. It is impossible to use Taoist magic and supernatural powers to deduce and speculate on its location.

Its birth time was at the height of the Tianyuan revival, which was also the period when the spiritual power of the heavens was at its peak. The Demon Buddha waited for a long time and kept observing the changes in the spiritual power of the Tianyuan Realm and the myriad realms. Several years ago, after confirming that the period when the spiritual power of the heavens was at its peak was about to arrive, he mobilized the demons to prepare for the treasure hunt.

This great battle in the Penglai Immortal Kingdom by the Eastern King Sect undoubtedly gave them a better opportunity. Thus, the Demon Buddha could not miss it. With his command, countless demons hidden in various realms mobilized and secretly searched for the traces of the Creation Jade Butterfly fragments in all the heavens and the chaotic void.

"A fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation has been discovered, located on the outskirts of the Burial Immortal Realm. This realm is heavily guarded by a large army of cultivators. We request the assistance of the High Demon to retrieve this treasure!"

"A fragment of the Jade Butterfly of Creation has appeared in the Chaos Realm and has been retrieved and contained."

"A fragment of the Jade Butterfly of Creation is suspected to have appeared within the Five Poisons Sect of Tianyuan Southern Border, and it is now in the hands of its sect leader..."

For hundreds of years, there have been no large-scale disturbances by evil spirits in the heavens, because the evil spirits have been lying dormant, not because they have died or disappeared.

While all the myriad realms and all living beings were fiercely fighting for opportunities, magical treasures, and spiritual energy, the demons acted once again. It was only then that it was discovered that the demons were almost omnipresent, lurking in all the myriad realms, and capable of completing the task set by the Demon Buddha to collect the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation with extremely high efficiency.

Jade Fragment of Creation +1
Jade Fragment of Creation +2
Jade Fragment of Creation +3
······
When the Demon Buddha held twenty-four fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation in his hands, even the myriad sects of the heavens, though belatedly aware, realized something was amiss.

"Demons have invaded the Burial Immortal Realm. More than ten high-level demons broke through the outer defense line, but were all wiped out by our garrison forces!"

"The Five Poisons Sect Master requested reinforcements, saying that there were traces of demons within the Five Poisons Sect, but a moment later he sent a message informing him that he had misjudged the situation and that everything was fine within the Five Poisons Sect."

"The realm of mountains and seas has been conquered by demons, and all the strange beasts of mountains and seas have been corrupted by them, turning into demonic beasts that are now the minions of the demons!"

"Demons are frequently emerging from the chaotic void. They seem uninterested in the caravans on the major trade routes, as if they are searching for something!"

Inside the Celestial Master's Mansion, Tong Chang, realizing something was amiss, had no time to concern himself with the escalating war in the Penglai Immortal Kingdom. Instead, he used his Celestial Master authority to gather intelligence from all the heavens and myriad realms.

As intelligence reports came in one by one, fine beads of sweat appeared on Tong Chang's forehead.

"No, absolutely not! The demons must be up to something, but I can't figure out who they are or what they are doing at all. But the fact that they could make that demon Buddha intervene and deceive the heavens means that their schemes must be quite grand!"

Knowing that the evil spirits were causing trouble, but not knowing what they were doing, left Tong Chang extremely anxious and worried.

"Ah Su, Ah Su, you have to go into seclusion! On this Penglai Immortal Island, people's brains are practically turned into pig brains from fighting. Although your Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom is mobilizing puppet forces, these puppets still require spirit stones to refine. If this continues, after the battle, the Dongwang Sect may be severely weakened, and your Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom's disciples will be wiped out!"
That demon is plotting who knows what kind of scheme he's up to, and he's currently attacking all over the myriad realms. If you wait any longer to emerge from seclusion, they'll be throwing a victory celebration. Listen to your brother, stop making those damn puppets of yours now. Haven't you made enough after all these years?

When in doubt, Tong Chang always turns to Su Qing first. This has been Tong Chang's basic practice when encountering major events over the years, just as Su Qing immediately thinks of Er Qiang when faced with a fierce battle. This is all due to a path dependency.

In Yu Tongchang's view, even when cultivators are in seclusion, it is best not to disturb them unless it is a major event such as the collapse of a house.

But now it's clear that everything is about to collapse. The great war in the Penglai Immortal Kingdom has officially escalated. As the war continues and the losses on both sides intensify, both the Eastern King Sect and the Western Sea cultivation world are constantly mobilizing troops and investing more resources. Now, the war has spilled over into the sea beyond Penglai Immortal Island, with both sides fighting to the death in the sky and on the ground. Regardless of who wins or loses, or how deserving the Eastern King Sect is, if this continues, the losses to the power of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom and other Tianyuan native forces are inevitable. At this critical moment of Tianyuan's recovery, the Tianyuan native sects, which are already striving to catch up with the major sects of the heavens, should be developing steadily and making steady progress. This disruption of the stable situation is clearly not a good thing for the Tianyuan native forces.

While the situation appears turbulent on the surface, there are also undercurrents of evil forces stirring up trouble in the shadows. If these evil forces manage to pull off some kind of conspiracy, it will be their own people who suffer the consequences.

This matter is of great importance. Unless Su Qing is currently refining ten or eight seventh-tier Dao Lords, possessing the ability to forcefully suppress any changes in the heavens using these puppets, he will have to leave seclusion to oversee the overall situation and obediently work with Tong Chang to stabilize the situation and guard against evil spirits. Upon hearing this, Su Qing also returned from his secluded state of indifference to worldly affairs.

He wasn't angry because he knew that Tong Chang wouldn't call him unless it was something important.

Of course, because his puppet-making went extremely smoothly this time, he successfully made all the puppets he wanted to make, and even used the remaining materials to make a pseudo-seventh-order puppet. Feeling like he had made a great profit, he was in a good mood and thought that Tong Chang's old hoarse voice sounded like pearls and jade, making people feel friendly and comfortable.

If he had failed in the puppet-making process, he would not have had this mindset now. He would have blamed Tong Chang for the failure and made him give up his wife!
Even though I'm in a good mood, I still have to say a few words to Tong Chang, otherwise I won't be able to stand it if he disturbs my seclusion at will in the future.

"Brother Tong, you must remain calm in times of great events. You're a living master now, you need to be more composed. What kind of image do you have if you're so impulsive!"

"Don't waste my breath, kid. Wait until I finish speaking before you say anything!" Tong Chang replied irritably, and then proceeded to tell him all about the troublesome matter without further ado.

"Asu, you've understood everything clearly. You are the vice leader of the Anti-Demon Alliance, the president of the Tianyuan Federation, and a Heavenly Walker. You can't ignore these two matters. As a Celestial Master, I have fulfilled my duty of warning and reminding. From now on, everything depends on you. The responsibility for the peace and stability of all living beings and all realms rests on your shoulders. You'd better do a good job!"

Once the troublesome matter was explained, Tong Chang immediately felt a sense of relief. Sure enough, the officials of the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom were right. The best way to resolve troublesome matters was not to resolve them, but to transfer them elsewhere, commonly known as passing the buck.

The more enjoyable it is for the person kicking the ball, the more miserable the person receiving it will be.

Just moments before, Su Qing was beaming with joy because of the successful creation of the puppet, but after hearing Tong Chang's words, she immediately put on a mask of pain.

"The Penglai Immortal Kingdom has started a war with the Eastern King Sect? Have Old Liu become so brave after not seeing him for a few years?!"

Oh, it was Qinghe who started it!

Oh, how did Qinghe get involved here? Did she suffer a loss? If she did, I won't let the Eastern King Sect off the hook!
Oh, he didn't lose out. The one who died was a second-generation immortal from the Eastern King Sect, and Qinghe even stole his treasure. Fine, I forgive him then.

"Sigh, how did Qinghe start this conflict? How did Penglai Immortal Kingdom get into a fight with the Eastern King Sect?"

Oh, the Eastern King Sect does all sorts of despicable things in the Penglai Immortal Kingdom, making Old Liu furious. They deserve to be beaten. The Eastern King Sect is breaking the law knowingly; if it were me, I would beat them too.

Hey, how's the battle going? My Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom has deployed all its puppets, and with the support of our fellow Daoists in the Western Sea, the Eastern King's branch sect shouldn't have any chance to fight back. Tie up all their people and have the Eastern King's main sect send someone to negotiate. If I don't extort several hundred billion spirit stones from them this time, I, Su Qing, will write my name backwards!
Oh, it's not over yet. That Eastern King's branch sect refuses to surrender and keeps transferring troops from the main sect, even deploying the Immortal Zombie Legion!

"Sigh, they've fought like this, and the Primordial Sect isn't doing anything about it? What are they good for?!"

Oh, so the Yuanshi Sect people took charge, and then they got beaten up by our people? Tsk tsk, we Western Sea cultivators have guts, we don't tolerate anyone!

Hey, I don't hear anything about demons involved here, so why are you blaming them? Are you trying to make demons take the blame for disrupting world peace? That's fine too, just shift the blame to demons. That's all the demons are good for!

Oh, I'm not trying to shift the blame, there really is some evil spirit at work, and it's even obscuring your divine senses?
Hey, hey, hey, why are you asking me about such a troublesome matter? Did I dig up your ancestral graves or something? Why don't you go and find the three sects of the Dao lineage? You want me to sort out these things? How am I supposed to sort them out?
"Oh, oh, oh, only by combining our skills and working together can we expose the Demon Buddha's schemes, and only I have the ability to quell the great war in Penglai Immortal Kingdom? Furthermore, you also deduced that a great opportunity is connected to me? And related to this matter? Then what are we waiting for? Let's get our gear ready and get to work!"

The matter is serious. The ball has been passed to him, and Su Qing has to handle it. As for the great battle in Penglai Immortal Kingdom, let's leave it for now and let them fight it out. If Su Qing goes there now, the two sides who are really angry are unlikely to give him any face. He might end up like that Guangxian Heavenly Venerable, looking humiliated and losing face.

"The most urgent task is to figure out what the demons are doing!"

Without hesitation, he opened his Golden Eyes of Truth and, in his capacity as the Celestial Master Tong Chang, used the power of heaven and earth to perform frantic calculations, piercing through the fog of time, seeing through the disguise of the Demon Buddha, and witnessing the Dao Ancestor of the past, the fragments of the Jade Tablet of Creation in the present world, and the Demon Buddha of the future holding the complete Jade Tablet of Creation to become Emperor and Ancestor!

"The demons were indeed plotting something! They want the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation!"

Tong Chang, who possessed the experience passed down from the Four Celestial Masters of antiquity, was one of the few people in the world who knew about the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation. Upon discovering that the demons were plotting against this treasure, his expression changed drastically.

In front of Tong Chang, Su Qing, who was semi-illiterate regarding knowledge of the cultivation world, also learned about the importance of the Creation Jade Butterfly fragments through his introduction.

It can deduce cultivation techniques and supernatural powers, helping people to comprehend the Great Dao!

This treasure truly possesses extraordinary power. If one could control it, any cultivator would have a promising future and a chance to attain enlightenment.

But Su Qing touched the storage bag and thought about it. He felt that his meditation doll and the enlightenment doll that had just been refined and was still steaming seemed to have a similar effect to this fragment of the Jade Butterfly of Creation.

“In fact, my children are even more powerful than this Jade Butterfly of Creation. The Jade Butterfly of Creation only makes deductions, and the person doesn’t even have to cultivate themselves. How can it compare to the convenience of my children’s fully automated deduction and cultivation process?”

"No, I can't think like that! This Jade Butterfly of Creation is a primordial treasure, the innate treasure of the Dao Ancestor who spread his teachings throughout the heavens. It can't possibly be inferior to a few dolls crafted by a mere seventh-tier puppeteer like myself. It must possess effects I'm unaware of. I cannot underestimate it, dare not belittle it, and must not desecrate it!"

"What are you muttering about? Everyone knows these demons are after the Jade Disc of Creation. We need to act quickly!" Tong Chang couldn't stand it anymore when he saw him standing there in a daze. He shook his arm and shouted urgently.

"Yes, it's time to act. We can't let the evil succeed. We need to call on the Buddha, no, we need to call on the people of the Yuanshi Sect, the Lingbao Sect, and the Taishang Sect. This is something the two of us can't do alone. We must mobilize the power of all the heavens and act together!"

The fragments of the Jade Butterfly of Creation held little appeal for Su Qing. He could use the Enlightenment Doll to deduce the Dao, and as for the authority of the Heavenly Dao Incarnation, he was a candidate for Heavenly Emperor. Once he ascended the throne, he would be Heaven itself, so he had no desire for it.

Whether he wants it or not is irrelevant; it's the demons who will care if they obtain this Jade Tablet of Creation.

Now, with his combined efforts, he and Tong Chang can also pinpoint the whereabouts of the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation. Of the seventy-two fragments, more than twenty have already fallen into the hands of the Demon Buddha. According to Tong Chang, if half of these fragments are collected, they can unleash the power of a supreme innate treasure, capable of wielding the authority of heaven and earth. At that time, regardless of his ability to deduce Dao laws and analyze Dao patterns, the Demon Buddha, using only his authority over the Heavenly Dao, will be able to overpower him, a Heavenly Emperor, and Tong Chang, a living Celestial Master. Then, the Heavenly Origin Realm will no longer be under his and Tong Chang's control!

The consequences are severe, and action must be swift and without delay. He divided his forces into two groups. On one hand, he instructed Tong Chang to contact the three major sects of Taoism, including the Yuanshi Sect, while on the other hand, he set off for the Penglai Immortal Kingdom to quell the great war and free up forces from all sides.

Snapped!
A burst of five-colored divine light appeared, and a five-virtue unicorn made a dazzling appearance, landing beneath its seat and riding on clouds to head towards the Penglai Immortal Kingdom.

This scene left Tong Chang dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the Five Virtues Qilin, then at Su Qing, who sat calmly on its back, hoping for an explanation.
With auspicious clouds hanging down and auspicious energy permeating the air, the Five Virtues Qilin is the embodiment of positive energy and holds the supreme moral judgment power!
All of its characteristics conform to the definition of the Five Virtues Qilin that Tong Chang knew.

But it just appeared so fresh and beautiful under Su Qing's seat, and he just couldn't accept it.

"Brother Tong is wondering why the Five Virtues Qilin, which is supposed to be extinct, has reappeared in the world?"

Su Qing saw the shock in Tong Chang's eyes. Although she was in a hurry to get things done, she couldn't help but feel secretly pleased and asked with a slightly smug look.

"No, I'm not surprised that the Five Virtues Qilin has been resurrected. After the revival of Tianyuan, I wouldn't be surprised if any of the ancient old guys jumped out of their coffins. What surprises me is how you are worthy to ride the Five Virtues Qilin!" Tong Chang shouted.

The Five Virtues Qilin is a divine creature of innate nature. It is both a Qilin and not a Qilin. It is formed by the convergence of the five innate virtues. It originally had a tangible yet intangible body and could undergo countless transformations. Because it was born at the same time as the First Qilin, it took the form of the First Qilin and transformed into the appearance of a Qilin, and was called the First Qilin by the world.

Unlike the Qilin, a mythical beast that relies on its physical strength, the Five Virtues Qilin is the embodiment of virtue. While it is not strong in hand-to-hand combat, it possesses a high level of morality and is adept at winning people over with virtue. In ancient times, when various deities had disputes that could not be resolved by fighting, they would ask the Five Virtues Qilin to uphold justice. Once the Five Virtues Qilin's moral judgment was made, the merits and demerits, right and wrong, would be clear, beyond question and impossible to challenge.

Such a virtuous being can only be favored by someone who is morally flawless and can be taken as a mount. By this standard, it cannot be said that he is a bad person, but he certainly has no morals. Su Qing rode this Five Virtues Qilin. How could Tong Chang not be surprised? In his eyes, he was more qualified to ride this Five Virtues Qilin than Su Qing!
"Prejudice is a mountain. It's one thing for people to be narrow-minded and misunderstand me, Su Qing, but who would have thought that Brother Tong, who has known me for so many years, would still have prejudice against me, Su Qing?"

Now, with this Five Virtues Qilin as my witness, can anyone still question the fact that I, Su Qing, am a morally perfect person? I will ride this Five Virtues Qilin and teach the Eastern King Sect a good lesson, making them understand that they can lack many things, but they cannot lack virtue!

On the back of the Qilin, Su Qing shook her head in disappointment, and then rode away in the glare of Tong Chang's shameless eyes.

Only after leaving the range of Tong Chang's divine sense did he see Su Qing secretly infuse the Five Virtues Qilin with a stream of merit energy, making the Five Virtues Qilin, which was originally lacking in positive energy and becoming increasingly listless, come back to life.

"Tsk tsk, I've played with expensive puppets before, but this is the first time I've played with such an expensive one. Other puppets eat spirit stones, but this one is picky and eats merit points. It's only because I've done a lot of good deeds that I have enough merit points. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to afford to raise you!"

Tong Chang's judgment was correct. Under normal circumstances, Su Qing would not be worthy of riding this Five Virtues Qilin for several lifetimes. However, if this Five Virtues Qilin was a puppet he had created, then he could ride it however he wanted!

This puppet was an unexpected bonus during his seclusion to refine puppets; it was another type of seventh-tier puppet besides the three Enlightenment Dolls.
