With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 542 Borrowing the Treasure Sand Sea Illusion Crystal!

Meng Chuan said so.

"I have a good relationship with Master Pang Liaochen. This morning we were just exchanging sparring tips, nothing serious."

Bai Bao chuckled to himself:

"Hahaha, Liao Chen is a smooth talker, and you're quite the little rascal too. It would be interesting if the two of you had to work together in the future."

Meng Chuan was speechless, wondering how he had come to be seen this way by Master Bai Bao.
He was about to open his mouth to explain and try to improve his image in her eyes.

But then Master Bai Bao's expression shifted. He glanced at the door and asked curiously:
"Someone has come up the mountain. It seems to be that prince from the Western Regions. Is he here to see you?"

Bai Bao's perception was enough to easily cover the entire Yuetai Mountain.

Their trip up the mountain could not escape his discerning eyes.

After speaking, he looked at Meng Chuan with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Surprisingly, this kid has quite a wide network of connections.
The sons of two saints are naturally no ordinary people.

Within the Buddhist community, social status is clearly defined.

Even he had to take Fan Luo seriously upon meeting him; he couldn't simply regard him as a junior of the Third Limit.

Hearing this, Meng Chuan was also quite puzzled.

We did meet during the day, but we didn't exchange many words; we're not familiar with each other.
After thinking about it, he became thoughtful:
“Master Bai Bao, I’ve heard that Prince Fan Luo is also quite talented in martial arts.”

Could this uphill climb be a sign of mutual appreciation between geniuses?

"."

Bai Bao remained silent.

Her eyes darted around, withdrawing her senses, and then she gave him a pointer:
"Stop drinking, go and greet them."

Meng Chuan nodded, finished the porridge in his bowl in one gulp, and got up to take his leave.

It was not about currying favor with the powerful, but about respecting the etiquette of the Central Plains.

As Meng Chuan stepped out, his senses were scattered, and he had not yet noticed the other party.

His mental strength was far inferior to Master Bai Bao's, so he did not find any trace of him.

It seems that Prince Fanluo will have to wait a while before he gets up the mountain.

Seeing this, they waited outside the garden for a while.

Leaning against the railing, Meng Chuan pondered:

"What business does this Brahma have with me coming up the mountain in the middle of the night?"

It couldn't have been just casual conversation; they wouldn't have had that much free time.
There must be a purpose behind going up the mountain to find oneself.

Based on the other party's identity, Meng Chuan made a bold guess:
"Seeing my impressive performance during the day, they come at night hoping to recruit me as a tutor to the crown prince?"

He thought it over and over and felt that this was the most likely possibility.
After a while, Meng Chuan finished his stance training and sensed the two energies approaching from afar.

Two tall, strong martial men gradually appeared on the stone-paved road in the distance, and he squinted to look at them.

It was getting dark, and the two were perfectly concealed, making them difficult to see clearly.
"Master Tamo, is the core item of Brahma guaranteed to be in his hands?"

Fanluo and Domo chatted as they walked.

The purpose of my nighttime search for Meng Chuan was precisely this.

Tama glanced around the courtyard and sensed the presence of the Heavenly King's aura. He cautiously said:

"The Brahma aura emanating from this child is most likely correct. For some unknown reason, it has managed to entice the great god Brahma to appear and bestow blessings."

There were still some things he didn't say.

He could roughly guess the reason.

That kid practiced the hard skills he created, and even surpassed his master's level.

He pushed the Tama Hard Technique to unprecedented heights based on his own foundation!

Perhaps it is more suitable than itself to be the key to unlock the treasure vault.
even
Domo also noticed that Meng Chuan had integrated all these techniques together.

With Brahma as its core, a completely new cultivation method has been developed.

The black, membrane-like armor attached to this child's body
It was precisely because he saw this method that he became so convinced.

The core of Brahma's faith is definitely in the hands of the other party!
To open up the Dharma realm of the Saha world, the core elements and the lineage holders are both indispensable.

In their hands, they hold all the keys.

He was worried that if he said it out loud, he would lose his "job".
His mind was racing, but his expression remained unchanged.

He remained cautious, standing protectively beside His Highness.

Fanluo didn't see through his thoughts; he was just wondering what would be a suitable exchange with Meng Chuan.

His father had emphasized that he should not abuse his power to bully others and should ensure good relations with the Central Plains.

He will naturally comply.

But there's no doubt that revealing your identity makes things easier.
Just as he was pondering this, he saw Meng Chuan greeting him warmly from afar.

They even brewed hot tea, and their warm hospitality calmed him down considerably.

"It seems this kid is a shrewd one."

Stable.

There are no clouds tonight, only a bright crescent moon hanging alone.

Upon hearing Fan Luo's request, Meng Chuan remained silent for the time being.

He was simply taking the time to think while sipping his tea.

"Your Highness Brahma, I'd like to know first how you determined that the core of the Great Brahma is in my hands?"

The robes and scriptures are kept in the dormitory villa at Lishan.

Even if there were something used to detect qi, it shouldn't be like this.
Concerned about potential oversights in martial arts, Meng Chuan inquired about them.

Knowing he wasn't a monk, Fanluo imitated the mannerisms of a martial artist from the Central Plains.

He raised his hand in a gesture of respect, a smile on his face.

"Brother Meng, you may not know this, but there are three items of the Great Brahma. Two of them are enshrined in temples in my Western Regions, and now they have come into your hands."

There is also a [conch shell], which has always been kept in the Loulan royal family and entrusted to my father for safekeeping.

It was through this item, combined with the secret method of connecting qi, that I was able to find the Shaolin Temple territory and find you, Brother Meng.

"I see. Thanks for clearing up the confusion."

Meng understood. The secret technique the other party possessed had a certain effect of tracing back to the source.

Even if the Brahma item wasn't on his person, he could still find its general location and pinpoint it to the Shaolin Temple.

As for how he identified himself among the vast sea of ​​monks?
He glanced at the Western Regions master who had been standing beside him.

Based on the other party's identity and their purpose, Meng Chuan had already guessed their identity.

Master Tama, the creator of the renowned Tama series of hard kung fu techniques!
Previously, when he broke through the Domo Hard Technique, he thought that consciousness was the vengeful spirit of the other.
Now that the real person is standing in front of me, it feels like a lifetime ago.

My thoughts were a jumbled mess, but I didn't feel anything more before I came to my senses.

I had only practiced the techniques he created; it wasn't for the "good intentions" I had when I broke through to a higher realm.

Upon seeing the other person, I didn't even have the thought of expressing any emotion.

As for Prince Brahma, he wanted to exchange it for the core artifact of the Great Brahma in his possession.
Meng Chuan pondered for a moment, preparing to refuse.

On the one hand, Brahma treated him well.

If he were to truly "attain divine enlightenment" in the future, his resurrection would most likely depend on the core artifact he possesses. Who knows what Brahma would do with it?

Furthermore, this item was entrusted to me by the Great Chu for safekeeping, and it is most likely not allowed to be "traded".

In the future, if the Great Chu sends someone to visit in return, or something similar.

It is not good to have nothing in your own hands.
Seeing that he remained silent, Fanluo seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and smiled:
“Brother Meng has an affinity for the great god Brahma, which I understand. Why not take a look at this item before making a decision?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Luo reached out and patted his waist.

Reach out and scoop it up, then spread your palms out to show:

"This item is a unique and precious treasure of our Western Regions, the Sand Sea Illusion Crystal."

This large piece of material, classified as Grade Three, contains the essence of a thousand-foot-deep sand sea, and its effects are similar to those of the Immortal Tear Crystal from your Central Plains.

Besides enhancing one's spiritual foundation, it also allows the high walls within the sea of ​​consciousness to undergo slight changes in their sandy form.

When applied to the body, it has a concealing effect, reducing the likelihood of being detected by others.

Fan Luo could tell with the naked eye that Meng Chuan's spiritual talent was average, merely at the level of Xuan Tie.

Compared to his talent in martial arts, this greatly hindered his progress.

The purpose of retrieving the Sand Sea Illusion Crystal is to treat the root cause of the problem.

Meng Chuan's brows relaxed slightly.

I thought the other party would use their power to bully me, but their actions of trying to barter are quite befitting of the sons of the two saints.

but.
“Your Highness, there’s no need for the Sand Sea Crystal. It’s an item passed down from the Great Brahma and was entrusted to me by the state for safekeeping. It is not something I personally own, so I have no right to decide whether to keep it or not.”

"It's alright, I'm just borrowing it for a bit, I'll return it later. Brother Meng, please keep the Sand Sea Illusion Crystal as a rental fee."

"."

Fan Luo's words made Meng Chuan's brow twitch.

borrow
He suddenly remembered the time when he "summoned lightning" at Wudang.

The scene of Sect Leader Chen Tuan using the Demon-Slaying Sword to borrow the power of the Great Emperor to summon lightning.

Could it be that the other party also wants to borrow his robe for something?
Not right either.

I witnessed myself being completely corrupted by demons.

He could not borrow even a trace of Brahma's power.

What are we going to do with it?
Facing Fan Luo, who seemed confident he would agree to borrow his face, Meng Chuan took a sip of tea and slowly said:

"The item is not in my possession; it is kept at the school."

If His Highness Brahma wishes to borrow it, he will have to go back and retrieve it.

Upon hearing this, a faint look of joy appeared on Fan Luo's face.

According to Meng Chuan, it's probably a sure thing.

But then he changed the subject and said:

"But the core of Brahma is not my personal property. Even if Your Highness borrows it, I must first report to the country."

Your Highness must inform me of the purpose of the loan; this will increase the likelihood of the state's approval.

Fan Luo stared into Meng Chuan's eyes for a long while, then slowly said:

"Brother Meng is indeed a pillar of the nation, always devoted to the affairs of the Great Chu."

If you lend it to yourself, how would outsiders know?

The other party's words also carried a subtle hint of rejection, which I could sense.

Fanluo's voice became somewhat deep, as if it possessed an innate sense of majesty.

"I have borrowed this item, and I will return it to you within three months at most."

Exchanging one Sand Sea Illusion Crystal every three months is a huge profit; I hope Brother Meng won't take advantage of me.

Why not explain the reason for borrowing it?

Then we absolutely cannot lend it!

If it involves the future resurrection of Brahma, then I would become a sinner and feel ashamed before Him.

Meng Chuan remained expressionless and refused again:

"I hope Your Highness will explain the reason, as I also hold an official position."

As a national talent, and receiving a monthly stipend from the emperor, I must fulfill my duty as a subject.

Brahma speaks frankly and directly:

“That’s perfect. We’re both eating the same food as the emperor. As for the reasons, I can report them to the country. Brother Meng, you don’t need to worry about it.”

Ok?
Is this Brahman from the Western Regions also a national talent?

Meng Chuan was curious, but he hadn't expected that the other party also had an official identity.

However, the other party still refused to say why.

He became more cautious and spoke slowly:

"Your Highness Brahma, this is a core item of the Great Brahma, and it involves the Northern Guardian King Lu. He also instructed me to keep it safe."

I really can't make that decision on my own. If you want to borrow it, you need a reason, so that King Lu can feel at ease.

What he meant was:
"If you don't explain why you're borrowing it, then go and tell Garrison Commander Lu what you have to say."
