Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1685 Chi Meng from "The Legend of Qin"
After leaving the cave, Jiang Chen prepared to fly away on his sword.

However, just as Jiang Chen was about to take out the Tai'a Sword, he suddenly heard footsteps in the distance.

"somebody is coming?"

A thought struck Jiang Chen, and with a flicker, he vanished from the spot.

Soon, Jiang Chen appeared on a hillside.

Take a closer look.

Jiang Chen saw the Witch King.

The Witch King (Chi Li) is a character in the novel "The Legend of Qin".

In the drama, he is the Witch King of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, and Chi Meng's uncle. He can summon wind three days before forming armor, and mountains three days after forming armor. He hides in the Thousand Ravines Mountains and reigns supreme in the Ten Thousand Caves. He is skilled in talismans and knows the gates of life, regarding all living beings as mere straw dogs. He travels incognito to the Central Plains, and so suddenly.

“I didn’t expect it to be him.”

"It seems I have arrived at the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"So……"

Jiang Chen looked into the distance.

In the drama, Chi Li was originally Tian Gu Xing, one of the thirty-six captains of the Great Tang Dynasty's Bad Guys, and one of the main founders of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave. After the fall of the Great Tang Dynasty and the disbandment of the Bad Guys, he and his younger brother Chi Li returned to Miao Jiang (later renamed Rao Jiang) to quell the war and jointly establish the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, becoming the Witch King (later renamed Poison Lord) of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Rao Jiang. As the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave continued to grow and expand, so did his ambition. He attempted to seize the world by using the ancient secret technique of the Twelve Caves, the God of War and Strange Altar. Because he only mastered the poison technique of the forbidden method of the God of War and Strange Altar (which is divided into poison and insect techniques), he hoped to bring the God of War and Strange Altar out together with his brother Chi Li, who mastered the other half of the insect technique. However, Chi Li refused, so he secretly instigated a conflict in the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, causing the cave to split into poison and insect factions. In the end, he turned the entire Ten Thousand Poisons Cave against him, imprisoned the King of the Viper and the insect masters loyal to the King of the Viper Chi Li, and completely controlled the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave and Rao Jiang. The Poison Lord's magical altar, which he cultivated, was defeated by Li Xingyun and others, and he himself died at the hands of the Holy Maiden Chi Meng. Thus, the Ten Thousand Poison Cave came under Chi Meng's rule.

In the distance, a girl flew by.

"is her."

Jiang Chen recognized him.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received 10,000 talismans.]

[Congratulations, host! You have signed in to 1,850 female protagonists consecutively. Rewards include 10 attribute points, an expansion of your space ring by 100 cubic meters, twelve Qiankun Yiqi Pots, and ten million-year-old Vermilion Fruits.]

"Ten thousand talismans?"

"This is the fifth time I've checked in and received 10,000 talismans."

Talismans were ancient imperial tokens used to convey orders, mobilize troops, appoint officials, reward meritorious officials, grant passage through passes, identify individuals, and conduct various military, political, economic, communication, and inspection matters. Now, the talismans obtained through daily check-ins are not only used for troop deployment but are also integrated into the Qi Yun Family's management system as a strict and systematic identification mark.

The tokens obtained from system check-ins are different from the inner guard waist tokens and brocade waist tokens obtained from previous check-ins.

The brocade waist tag is the waist tag of the Imperial Guards, which is carved from bone, horn and ivory that are thousands of years old, and requires a blood oath to bind it to its owner.

After the brocade waist tag is bound to the owner by blood, it can automatically display its number and the martial arts series it belongs to.

The talismans used now are those used by the Jiang family army.

After the blood oath is performed, the talisman displays information such as the unit's title, organization, and cultivation level.

"After the owner of the talisman dies, the talisman will be collected by the family head's seal, thus revealing the situation of the Jiang family army wearing the talisman."

"This is good stuff."

"The previous ten thousand talismans were used for the Jiang Family Army's Star Cavalry."

"Of the other 30,000 talismans, some have already been used on the Eagle Armor Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Now that we have obtained another 10,000 talismans, it has solved our immediate problem."

"Starting with Li Haolan, then Yun Jiang, Zhao Yan, Ye Zhanqing, Xi Yu (Zeng Jing), Fu Tianjiao, Fu Tianxiang, Shangguan Feiyan, Ye Xiaodie, and now Chi Meng, we've signed on to ten more leading ladies without even realizing it."

"10 attribute points, and the space ring's space has been expanded by 100 cubic meters. These are the basic special rewards."

"Twelve Qiankun-One-Pot?"

"This is the third time I've checked in."

"According to the system's description, this Qiankun Yiqi Pot is a pot equivalent to a seventh-grade weapon."

"However, unlike weapons, this Qiankun Qi Pot is used for cooking."

According to the system description, the Qiankun Yiqi Pot has a built-in one cubic meter of space, which can stew up to a thousand kilograms of meat at once. In addition, the Qiankun Yiqi Pot can also change its shape.

You can easily switch between stew pot, frying pan, steamer, etc.

In addition, the Qiankun Yiqi Pot increases cooking speed by 100%, enhances food freshness by 50%, has an automatic adjustment function to ensure food is not overcooked, and increases the pot temperature by 200%, enabling the cooking of higher-level foods.

It also has the effect of locking in spiritual energy, which can protect the spiritual energy in the ingredients to the greatest extent, thereby improving the quality of spiritual cuisine.

"Good stuff."

"There aren't many people in the Jiang family's culinary team right now, and it's too troublesome to deal with spiritual materials."

"But with this Qiankun Yiqi Pot, things will be much easier."

"According to the system's introduction, only martial artists at the Martial King realm can use this Qiankun Qi Pot."

"It seems the chefs at Daming Palace need to intensify their training."

"Ten Vermilion Fruits a million years old?"

"This is the fourth time I've checked in and received ten million-year-old Vermilion Fruits."

"The existence of the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit is a rare treasure that allows martial artists at the Martial King Realm to advance to the Martial Emperor Realm as quickly as possible. After refining the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit, one's strength increases by 314, physique by 283, mental strength by 70, and agility by 180."

"I wonder how much it will improve after the Vermilion Fruit is refined over a million years."

"By the way, besides refining it directly, it can also be used to make pills."

"If everyone signs in a few more times, then everyone can take it."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Chi Meng is a character in the novel "The Legend of Qin".

In the drama, she is the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Miao Territory. She originally spoke fluent Yunnanese Mandarin, but as she traveled towards the Central Plains, she absorbed the dialects along the way, developing her own unique accent. She claims her father has come with her. She is single-mindedly searching for the Bad Commander to save someone.

Chi Meng from "The Legend of Qin".

Chi Meng, the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, hails from the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Miao territory. She is the only daughter of the Viper King Chi Li, You Chuan's childhood sweetheart, and the master of Hou Qing, one of the Four Corpse Ancestors of the Xuanming Sect. She carries two gourds and a flute at her waist, and is proficient in the art of Gu poison. She is charming and lovely, with a lively and straightforward personality, a sharp and shrewd mind, and a talent for scheming. She carries a jade flute, which she can use to control Gu poison with music; the flute is later given to her disciple Hou Qing. She received the flute from Li Kan after falling off a cliff; it can be used to defend against the God of War's strange altar. She also carries a curved sword as a weapon. Speaking fluent Yunnan-accented Mandarin, she falls in love with Li Xingyun after meeting him. She is a lively, energetic, and passionate person.

After Ji Ruxue's death, Li Xingyun encountered Chi Meng in the forest. Chi Meng poisoned Li Xingyun with a stone-like Gu, forcing him to take her to the Bad Commander. At the Tongwen Hall, Chi Meng played a flute tune, arousing Li Keyong's suspicion, and she successfully led Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan away from the Tongwen Hall. It turns out that Chi Meng's father, Gu King (Hui King) Chi Li, and Chi Li's brother, Witch King (Poison Lord) Chi Li, were originally members of the Bad People. Because Chi Li imprisoned Chi Li, Chi Meng wandered all the way to the Central Plains to find the Bad Commander, hoping he could resolve the matter.

Later, Chi Meng realized that Ji Ruxue had been poisoned by a Gu curse. After learning that the Corpse Driver could cure Ji Ruxue, she took Ji Ruxue to find him. On the way, they were ambushed by the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave. At the critical moment, Li Xingyun and Li Cunyi appeared and rescued Chi Meng and Ji Ruxue. To protect each other, Li Xingyun deliberately argued with Chi Meng and drove her away. Later, they met You Chuan, who explained that Li Xingyun had driven her away to protect Chi Meng. Chi Meng then resolved to find the Corpse Driver to save Ji Ruxue. It turned out that the Corpse Driver was Hou Qing, the Corpse Ancestor. After being captured by Hou Qing, he suddenly asked Chi Meng to become his disciple, wanting her to teach him music. Chi Meng was initially unwilling, but when they encountered the Black and White Impermanence, she was no match for them and had no choice but to accept Hou Qing as her apprentice. After encountering the fake Li Xingyun, Chi Meng tortured him with the Heart-Piercing Gu. After escaping, the fake Li Xingyun encountered Hou Qing fighting against Li Xingyun and Ji Ruxue. Chi Meng intervened and the two sides stopped fighting. Chi Meng asked Hou Qing to help Ji Ruxue get rid of the fake Li Xingyun. After learning that the Bad Commander could not be trusted, she decided to go back alone to save her father. She left without telling Li Xingyun.

Chi Meng tried to win over the former forces of Chi Li throughout Rao Jiang, but no one supported him anymore. Then Li Xingyun and his companions arrived in Rao Jiang, helping Chi Meng overcome numerous dangers, find her mother Xian Shen, and obtain a flute melody from Li Kan that could suppress the God of War's Altar and rescue her father, Chi Li. Later, Chi Li forged the God of War's Altar, and Xian Shen and Chi Li died fighting it to buy time for Li Xingyun and his group. Finally, in the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, Chi Meng joined forces with Li Xingyun, who had been strengthened by the God of War's Altar, to kill Chi Li, but she herself was struck by Chi Li's Twin Barrier and was in critical condition. Fortunately, Ji Ruxue obtained a giant snail from Li Kan and revived Chi Meng. Upon awakening, she became the new leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave.

Chi Meng's martial arts skills are average, but she is skilled at using Gu poison. On the surface, she is lively and cheerful, but in reality, she is delicate and sometimes willful. She is loyal to her friends and ruthless to her enemies. She is devoted to her love and has loved Li Xingyun from beginning to end. She understands that loving someone does not necessarily mean possessing them. Seeing them happy is also a form of love. Therefore, she went to great lengths to save Ji Ruxue, just to make Li Xingyun happy.

"Chi Meng learned Rao Jiang Gu magic."

"I wonder what this Gu technique is like."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen decided to acquire the Poison Control Technique from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. In *The Legend of Qin*, Poison Techniques are quite powerful.

But the art of Gu poison exists in many places.

However, if you want the Poison Control Technique of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, you can take it from the Witch King Chi Li.

As for how to obtain it?

Natural Fire Charm.

Jiang Chen went into hiding.

After Chi Li left alone, Jiang Chen appeared in front of him in a flash.

"Who?" The Witch King's expression changed slightly.

Jiang Chen didn't say anything, and directly knocked Chi Li unconscious.

"Fire Charm Technique".

Jiang Chen used the Fire Charm Technique to read Chi Li's memories.

Chi Li was skilled in witchcraft and Gu poison.

Chi Li's witchcraft doll was an important magical artifact that could be injected with the opponent's blood and controlled by a bell. This artifact was destroyed during Ji Ruxue's blood exchange to remove the curse.

Chi Li's Withering Technique is a rare poison technique that can corrode the flesh and blood of the target, turning them into a weak, emaciated skeleton.

Chi Li's Twin Miasma is his secret technique. The caster and the victim can live and die together. If the caster dies, the victim will also die after an incense stick has burned. Chi Li used it on Chi Meng. The spirit insect that the Second Cave Master Li Kan refined over ten years can cure the Twin Miasma.

Chi Li's Thousand Spider Gu is a Gu technique of the King of Vipers, Chi Li, which he secretly learned. He once controlled a deceased Gu master from the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave.

Chi Li's Gu eggs are a secret technique passed down from the Twelve Caves by the Bad Commander Yuan Tiangang. They can mobilize even the last trace of yang energy in the body of the deceased, thereby bringing the deceased back to life and using witchcraft or Gu magic to control the other party for one's own use.

"It seems we still need to find the Twelve Caves."

Through Chi Li's memories, Jiang Chen learned the location of the Twelve Caves.

The Twelve Caves are a mysterious organization in the novel *The Legend of Qin*, located deep within the Miao region. They are renowned for their witchcraft and sorcery, possessing the secrets to opening the Dragon Spring Treasure Box and the technology to create the Divine Weapon Altar. Their members operate in secrecy and include figures such as the Grand Cave Master, Li Kan, and the Eleventh Cave Master. Some members have close ties to the Li Tang dynasty.

This organization, which had been in seclusion for a century since the Zhenguan era due to Li Chunfeng's advice, reappeared when Li Xingyun reappeared carrying the Longquan Sword. Following Li Chunfeng's dying wish, the Grand Master dispatched the Eleventh Cave Master to rescue Li Xingyun, with the Second Cave Master, Li Kan, assisting him in increasing his strength to fight the Poison Lord. During the crisis at the God of War's Altar, the Twelve Caves united to heal the transformed Li Xingyun, You Chuan, and others, ultimately resolving the Raojiang calamity.

The history of the Twelve Caves is intertwined with the fate of Raojiang. They once helped Li Maozhen obtain the Soul-Slaying Gu, and were also suppressed by the Bad Commander while participating in the protection of the Longquan Treasure. The Twelve Caves have undergone crucial transformations, from creating forbidden artifacts and hiding in seclusion to returning to the mortal world. They have consistently served as a force balancing the chaotic world, maintaining the intertwining of Gu arts inheritance and Raojiang's destiny.
"It seems we'll have to stay in the Wind and Cloud Continent a little longer."

Jiang Chen's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

An hour later.

Jiang Chen arrived at the Twelve Caves.

"The Strange Altar of the God of War".

Jiang Chen was looking for the God of War's Strange Altar.

The Divine Art of War is an ancient secret technique of the Twelve Caves, combining the arts of insect fusion and poison. It involves using poison to make medicine, immersing people in it to strengthen their muscles and bones, and then using insects to control the people, turning them into mindless killing machines. Essentially, it is a kind of evil art of forging weapons from people.

Simply immersing a person in a special medicinal liquid forcibly enhances their physical strength. The effect is related to the host's original strength; the higher the martial arts skill, the greater the enhancement. In the drama, the Jiuli chieftain, who was trained into a war god, reached the peak of the Great Heaven Realm, and Li Xingyun, after being enhanced, also broke through the upper limit of his combat power at that time. Simultaneously, it erases all the consciousness of the person being refined, turning them into a mindless puppet. Moreover, this transformation is irreversible; the person will forever lose their self, becoming a killing tool to be controlled at will.

However, the Art of War Gods is primarily used for the mass production of killing machines. It can be mass-produced and is suitable for building armies, playing a significant role in warfare. It has no strict restrictions on the identity or sect of those being refined; any living person can potentially be transformed into an Art of War God. The Poison Master mastered this technique and created a massive army of Art of War Gods, triggering a series of wars in Raojiang and becoming one of the major threats faced by Li Xingyun and his companions in their development.

It can significantly enhance the physical strength of the person being refined in the short term, allowing them to quickly become a combat force in large-scale battles. However, in the long run, because the person being refined loses consciousness and cannot cultivate and improve independently, their development potential is limited.

"However, the most important thing is to seize the ancient methods of the Twelve Caves."

"besides……"

Jiang Chen thought of the treasures in the Twelve Caves.

Miao Jiang Sacred Gu is an extremely threatening Gu technique, hidden within the Mandala flower of the Longquan Treasure Box, requiring nourishment from the rotten soil of Shu. It is harmless under normal conditions, but if someone attempts to open the box, it releases a hallucinogenic fragrance, inducing suicidal thoughts in the victim, leading to suicide. Even a Grand Celestial level expert like the Ghost King has fallen victim to it.

The Fallen Life Gu (also known as the Meteor Gu) is an ancient secret technique passed down through the Twelve Caves. Cultivators must nourish the Gu worm with their own flesh and blood for ten years, a process that is extremely painful. However, if the Gu worm is not destroyed after success, the host can be resurrected indefinitely. The heterochromatic eyes of Prince Qi, Li Maozhen, were formed by this Gu, greatly increasing his strength.

The Gu egg can mobilize the yang energy in the body of the dead to bring them back to life. By controlling the Gu egg, the resurrected person can be made to obey the spellcaster's orders. The Witch King once used this technique to resurrect Ji Ruxue, but the control could be broken through a blood transfusion.

The Soul Return Technique is a two-way secret art that can affect both people and objects simultaneously. When applied to a person, it forces them into a deep sleep, while certain items can awaken the sleeper. The Twelve Caves once used this technique to seal away a holy child who knew about the Dragon Spring Treasure.

"We must get all of these."

"As for the God of War and the Strange Altar, let's forget about it."

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

"but……"

Jiang Chen disguised himself as Yuan Tiangang.

Jiang Chen's goal was simple: to use Yuan Tiangang's identity to seize the treasures within the Twelve Caves.

In the drama, Li Xingyun can gain the support of the Twelve Caves by wielding the Longquan Sword, and Jiang Chen feels that he can too.

In fact, it was easier than Jiang Chen had imagined.

Miao Jiang Sacred Gu, Death Gu...

Jiang Chen spent two days getting what he wanted.

Two days later, Jiang Chen left Twelve Caves.

We arrived in Jinling.

"Husband, you're back?" Li Mulan asked.

"Yes, this trip took a long time, and I got a lot of good stuff," Jiang Chen said.

"What did you get?" Li Mulan asked.

"I went to Xia Ke Island..." Jiang Chen recounted the Tai Xuan Scripture, Gu techniques, and all of that.

Whether it's the Tai Xuan Scripture or the Gu Technique, Jiang Chen will keep them in the family's martial arts pavilion.

"The Tai Xuan Scripture, is it that powerful?" Li Mulan asked.

“If our family’s cultivation techniques and martial arts are not created by ourselves, there are not many techniques that can compare with the Tai Xuan Scripture. However, I will integrate the Tai Xuan Scripture into other created techniques,” Jiang Chen said.

“Creating a cultivation technique is not easy. I wish I had that talent,” Li Mulan said.

“I’ll try to improve your comprehension in the future,” Jiang Chen said.

"Is there anything that can improve comprehension?" Li Mulan asked.

"Yes, definitely." Jiang Chen nodded.

Even without treasures to enhance comprehension, the cultivation techniques and martial arts created by him and Li Biyun are sufficient.

“Moreover, we can obtain better cultivation techniques and martial arts skills from other continents,” Jiang Chen said.

“That’s true.” Li Mulan nodded.

Just then, Li Mulan suddenly remembered something and said, "Husband, there is something I need to tell you."
