After sending his visitors away, he secured his courtyard and revised his plans for refining tiger-bone Puppets, ending with the bones’ lingering pressure intimidating even him.

• He Lian Xian and Liang Hai Shun explained that only thirty-six people could bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill quotas, and Liang Hai Shun revealed that he had already secured one through his connection to Fate Comes Pavilion’s Pavilion Master.
• Su Qing agreed to finish the Lizard Knights within ten days, and He Lian Xian and Liang Hai Shun left after teasing Liang Hai Shun about his past romance.

• After He Lian Xian turned the White Tiger Silver Wings into a Tier 2 Magic Artifact, Su Qing changed his design to make two Overlord Tigers, an Overlord Black Armor Tiger, and an Overlord Silver Wings Tiger.
• The Black Mountain Tiger’s bones frightened Fire Egg and Bear Two, so Su Qing sent them out to sell goods and used a Calming Talisman before beginning his work.

Su Qing began refining the Overlord Tiger, preparing costly Tier 3 talisman water and modifying its design to favor power and defense. Bear Two earned Spirit Crystals by selling Dual-Blade Lizards, while Su Qing considered buying Blazing Fire Cannons for the armor Puppet.

Shopkeeper Liu instead offered Su Qing the Blazing Fire Cannon Blueprint in exchange for the War Bear Blueprint or a promise to supply the Puppets, leaving Su Qing wary of provoking the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom.

• Su Qing offered Shopkeeper Liu two Explosive Hammer War Bears in exchange for two Blazing Fire Cannons.
• While Shopkeeper Liu considered the trade, Bear Two sold four more Dual-Blade Lizards, bringing the customer’s total purchases to six for roughly ninety thousand Spirit Crystals.
• Su Qing saw that the buyer was a veiled person whose attire suggested they were a Curse Spirit Master.
• Shopkeeper Liu proposed exchanging the Blazing Fire Cannon Blueprint for the Explosive Hammer War Bear Blueprint or Su Qing’s ongoing commitment to refine the Puppets.
• Su Qing objected that obtaining the blueprint could draw retaliation from the xenophobic, vengeful Phoenix Descendants of the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom.

• Fire Egg told Su Qing that the thief had disrupted its and Bear Two’s divine senses with a strange chant, leading Su Qing to identify him as a Curse Spirit Master from Curse Spirit Market.
• Su Qing returned to the residential district with Bear Two and Fire Egg, endured his neighbors’ mistaken guesses about their injuries, and vowed to take revenge while studying his nearly completed Overlord Tiger.

Su Qing drew Tier 3 runes to bring the Overlord Tiger Puppet to life, then gave it intelligence that produced a boastful, foul-mouthed personality. The puppet was left unfinished as Su Qing struggled to add its remaining runes, while Tiger Egg revealed it planned to help sell puppets by charging customers exorbitant prices.

• After lamenting his losses and adding more expenses to his ledger, Su Qing began drawing Tier 3 Biomimetic Runes on the Overlord Tiger Puppet.

• Tiger Egg told Su Qing it would earn back the Spirit Crystals he spent by helping sell puppets, prompting Su Qing to insist that his business was legitimate.

Su Qing sold Lizard Knights to the Rat King and Bear King Teams as demonic beasts advanced on the Forward Camp, then captured and beat Wei De Bao for betraying him. Wei De Bao revealed that a Tier 3 Demon King was driving the Beast Tide and that a Golden Core Grand Cultivator would soon arrive, earning Su Qing’s cautious forgiveness and an offer to buy more puppets.

• Wei De Bao warned Su Qing not to reveal that a Tier 3 Demon King backed the demon beasts, and Su resolved to alert Niu Ya, Tang Wanqing, and the others.
• Wei De Bao bought two Riding Archer Puppets from Su Qing for fifty thousand Spirit Crystals so he could earn Combat Merit.
• Wei De Bao offered the Dragon's Roar Overlord Spear, a rare hereditary body-cultivation technique, after Su Qing showed interest in combat techniques.

• Su Qing accepted the inheritance, and Wei De Bao left with the Sea Woman Beauty Snakes.

Su Qing fitted Tiger Egg with Blazing Fire Cannons and tested its transformation forms, gaining new ways to wield the Puppet’s power. He ended by activating the quieter Overlord Tiger Armor, whose strength thrilled him and whose silence suited him.

• Su Qing made Wei De Bao swear not to reveal what he had seen or heard, then checked the camp and judged the demon-beast incursion minor.
• Su Qing installed two Blazing Fire Cannons on Tiger Egg, which destroyed a target, part of the courtyard, and a nearby Rogue Cultivator’s Spirit House; Su Qing repaired the damage and compensated the Rogue Cultivator.
• Su Qing activated Tiger Egg’s second form, Overlord Giant Tiger, and learned that it could use its own abilities, amplify his combat skills, or fight automatically.
• Su Qing tested the Overlord Giant Tiger form, then switched Tiger Egg to its third form, Overlord Tiger Armor.
• Su Qing found that the armor greatly increased his strength and could conceal itself in his Dharma Robe, while Tiger Egg remained silent and automatically adjusted the armor to incoming attacks.

After advancing to Tier-2 Puppet Master, Su Qing chose the Exorcism Rune and unlocked the Intelligent Wood Spirit blueprint. He began preparing a second Overlord Tiger, then went to buy materials while deliberately entering an area known for dangerous incidents.

• Su Qing advanced to Tier-2 Puppet Master after crafting the Overlord Black Armor Tiger and chose the Exorcism Rune and Intelligent Wood Spirit blueprint.

Su Qing entered the Robber Cultivator district with a conspicuous display of Storage Bags, prompting Li Hai Lang and his two remaining men to mistake him for an angler and avoid attacking. Su Qing then surrounded them with Puppets and accused Li Hai Lang of stealing a batch of payment, demanding more than four hundred thousand in compensation.

• Su Qing traveled through the wilderness without displaying his Puppets, but the Robber Cultivators he encountered stayed out of his way.
• Li Hai Lang, Brother 17, and Brother 260 hid beneath a boulder and decided Su Qing was baiting them, recalling how the Lang Tian Gang had dwindled after its defeat at Black Tiger Mountain.
• Six Explosive Hammer War Bears smashed the boulder apart while Interceptor Puppets aimed at the three men.
• Su Qing handed Li Hai Lang a written claim and accused him of stealing payment worth over four hundred thousand.
• Li Hai Lang read the claim, realized the actual sum was far lower, and concluded that another Robber Cultivator had taken the payment.

Su Qing forced Li Hai Lang and his gang to search for the robber who had stolen from him, then went to Hundred Treasures Pavilion and found prices soaring. He complained that the profiteers should be hung with lanterns, and Tong Xin revealed that the Gao Family Butcher Shop had just appeared in East Market.

• Su Qing accused Li Hai Lang of being the likeliest suspect and took the Storage Bags from him, Brother 17, and Brother 260 as partial compensation.

• Li Hai Lang sent Brother 17 and Brother 260 to lead the Spirit Dog in search of the robber.
• Su Qing entered Hundred Treasures Pavilion and complained about steeply increased prices for Spirit-Calling Wood, Armored War Bears, and first-tier Magic Artifacts.
• Tong Xin warned Su Qing not to hang anyone with lanterns and told him the Gao Family Butcher Shop had appeared in East Market the previous night.

After the Gao Family Butcher Shop reappeared in Baiyun Immortal City, Su Qing decided to develop Exorcism Puppets to counter the powerful Evil Entity. The Hundred Treasures Pavilion agreed to fund his work, and Shopkeeper Liu realized Su Qing had likely become a Tier 2 Puppet Master.

• Tong Xin told Su Qing that the Gao Family Butcher Shop had appeared in East Market and that Cloud Mountain Sect cultivators had negotiated with the Evil Entity inside.
• Tong Xin bought two Lizard Warriors from Su Qing for protection, while Su Qing learned that Bear Two had already sold the other ten at the usual price.
• Su Qing asked Tong Xin to obtain Tier 3 Exorcism Talisman Water materials cheaply so he could develop Puppets against Evil Entities.
• The Hundred Treasures Pavilion offered Su Qing three Exorcism Puppet Blueprints and Talisman Water at no upfront cost in exchange for priority supply of his finished Puppets.
• Su Qing chose to take all three Blueprints, leading Shopkeeper Liu to suspect that he had advanced to a Tier 2 Puppet Master.

Su Qing completed Flowing Light, a fast silver-wing puppet with abilities against Evil Entities, then combined it with the Silver-Winged White Tiger skeleton to create Flowing Silver. The chapter ended with his new transforming armor-puppet combination finished, while the Gao Family Butcher Shop remained too dangerous for him to challenge.

• Su Qing returned home as the Beast Tide brought blood qi and possible Evil Entities, then fortified his Spirit House with a Golden Light Array, Exorcism Talismans, and High Buddhist Cultivators.
• Su Qing refined the White Tiger Silver Wings, whose Intelligence Rune produced several noisy little-girl personalities, and named them Flowing Light.
• The completed Flowing Light gained high speed, repeated space-flashing, silver-light attacks, Interceptor Puppet deployment, and a powerful Evil Entity-slaying slash.
• Su Qing branded a Tier 3 Exorcism Rune onto the Silver-Winged White Tiger skeleton and spent five days completing the puppet.
• Su Qing combined the Silver-Winged White Tiger with Flowing Light and named the transforming armor-puppet combination Flowing Silver.

Su Qing tested Flowing Silver, expanded his puppet stock, and sold his wares amid Baiyun Immortal City’s wartime preparations. Hai Changqing finally appeared, but his explanation for delaying their transaction enraged Su Qing.

• Su Qing tested Flowing Silver’s three forms, assigned it to guard his rear courtyard, and saved his remaining spiritual sense for future Exorcism Puppets.
• Su Qing spent three days refining Lizard Warriors and Lizard Knights, then raised the Lizard Warrior price as reports of Evil Entities spread through Baiyun Immortal City.
• Su Qing traveled to North City, saw the city’s new walls and weapons, and sold his Lizard Knights at prices he realized were too low.
• Su Qing priced his Dual-Blade Lizards at thirty-eight thousand Spirit Crystals each, and Hai Changqing refused to help promote them.
• Su Qing asked Hai Changqing why he had not completed their earlier transaction, and Hai Changqing’s explanation made Su Qing furious.

Su Qing defended his reputation after Wei De Bao’s slander, completed a trade with Hai Changqing, and received a secret technique that could strengthen his Spiritual Sense. Old Daoist Tong then gave him a Heavenly Talisman Token and hinted that Su Qing could not avoid a dangerous opportunity.

• Su Qing’s Overlord Tiger Armor frightened nearby cultivators until he restrained its aura and explained that Wei De Bao had slandered him.
• Hai Changqing and other Rogue Cultivators believed Su Qing’s account, and Su Qing’s sympathetic appeal helped him sell a Dual-Blade Lizard and honor Hai Changqing’s agreed price.
• Hai Changqing exchanged the Art and Spirit Dual Cultivation Method for the agreed trade, then rushed toward the front lines with his six Lizard Knights.
• Su Qing asked Old Daoist Tong why he was still selling talismans instead of seeking a Foundation Establishment Pill bidding slot, and Tong said his opportunity lay elsewhere.
• Old Daoist Tong gave Su Qing a Heavenly Talisman Token, saying Su Qing could choose whether and when to activate it.

Old Daoist Tong introduced Su Qing to the Heavenly Talisman Hall, a realm-spanning organization for cultivators who study Dao Patterns and runes. He offered Su Qing a talisman plaque that could make him a formal member and a chance to join an opportunity two years away, but Su Qing chose not to activate it and kept his plans to avoid the coming competition.

• Old Daoist Tong used a talisman plaque to isolate himself and Su Qing from the Stall Area, then revealed the plaque depicted the Heavenly Talisman Hall.
• Old Daoist Tong explained that the hall welcomed cultivators with exceptional rune or Dao Pattern achievements and offered exchanges, shared resources, and ancient inheritances through Merit Points.
• Su Qing learned that activating the plaque would inspect his qualifications and could make him a formal member, while Old Daoist Tong also invited him to cooperate in an opportunity two years later.
• Old Daoist Tong ended the isolation, and Su Qing put the plaque in his Storage Bag without activating it.
• Su Qing identified the concealed opportunity as True Person Lingbi's cave estate and decided he would rather use the Demoness's connections to leave before the factions gathered.

Su Qing questioned Old Daoist Tong about a Spatial Rune talisman and learned how the Heavenly Talisman Hall’s rune knowledge and Merit Points worked. After hearing about the Heavenly Master Pattern and Thousand Mechanisms Pattern, he left with new insights into the inheritance behind talismans and puppets.

• Su Qing asked Old Daoist Tong how his Intermediary Talisman had used a Spatial Rune to conceal him and sever space.
• Old Daoist Tong explained that combining Spatial Runes with other runes could create varied effects, and that the Heavenly Talisman Hall preserved knowledge of such combinations.
• Old Daoist Tong described three ways to earn Merit Points: exchanging resources, submitting rune techniques, and finding Ancient Dao Pattern-related knowledge.

• Su Qing rejected Wang Junli’s proposed trade and offered to exchange Rune Inheritances instead.

Su Qing negotiated with Wang Junli over exchanging the Wang Family’s rune inheritances for his Intelligence Rune inheritance. He rejected the family’s weaker offers but sought several powerful runes, while Wang Junli concealed the family’s plan to pressure him into surrendering his inheritance.

• Wang Junli offered the Heavy Armor Rune for Su Qing’s Intelligence Rune inheritance, but Su Qing rejected it.

• Wang Junli revealed that he planned to report Su Qing to Cloud Mountain Sect and force him to serve the Wang Family, claiming the Intelligence Runes were stolen sect inheritance.
• Su Qing explained that he had never received those runes from Cloud Mountain Sect and revealed that six Explosive Hammer War Bears had surrounded Wang Junli.
• Su Qing destroyed Wang Junli's Dog-Head General and took his Storage Bag, clothes, and other valuables, leaving him to flee naked beneath a Yellow Sand Technique.
• Wang Junli returned home, told his Third Uncle that Su Qing had robbed and humiliated him, and asked him to stand up for the Wang Family.

Su Qing became a Level 2 Guest Elder of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and bought materials and talismans as the threat from the Gao Family Butcher Shop became clearer. He left determined to prepare an answer for Shopkeeper Liu within a month, while Old Daoist Tong assured him that Gao Erqiang would not cause trouble for at least two years.

• Old Daoist Tong told Su Qing that Gao Erqiang would not cause trouble for at least two years.

Su Qing began practicing the Overlord Dragon's Roar Spear, only to discover that he needed to experience a flood dragon's might before he could learn its first principle. He swallowed expensive Dragon Bone Powder to imitate that pressure, alarming Tiger Egg and the animals outside his courtyard.

• After leaving the market, Su Qing decided to focus on practicing the Overlord Dragon's Roar Spear while Bear Two handled puppet sales.
• Su Qing abandoned his plan to rely on Dual Complete Hands to practice the skill after Tiger Egg explained that combat required coordination from his whole body.
• Su Qing read that the spear skill required a metal-element essence furnace and began by trying to mimic a flood dragon's might.
• Unable to find a flood dragon, Su Qing swallowed Dragon Bone Powder he had bought for refining the Dual Complete Hands.
• The Dragon Bone Powder stirred Su Qing's essence furnace and released faint pressure, frightening Fire Egg outside the courtyard while Tiger Egg worried about being replaced.

Su Qing learned that Demonic Cultivators had joined forces with the demonic beasts to attack Baiyun Immortal City, despite the Cloud Mountain Sect’s preparations to defend it. He led a small group toward the Hundred Treasures Pavilion for safety, then had his puppets block the Professionals following them.

• Su Qing learned that more than ten Tier 2 Demon Kings had gathered beyond the Forward Camp, but remained calm after hearing that a Golden Core Venerable and a strong Cloud Mountain Sect force had entered the city.
