With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 548 Seven-Leaf Yellow Vine Clash: Who Will Take the Lead? (6k) Double the Monthly Tickets Requested!

The sand crystals glittered and sparkled, appearing even more strange against the backdrop of the rainy night.

Meng Chuan glanced down, then looked up in surprise and said:
"The Vanro-na-ma?"

What does this mean? Are they trying to use someone else's flowers to offer to Buddha?

A barely perceptible pang of heartache flashed across Tama's eyes as he said in a deep voice:

"No, this is my own. If you agree to go to the Dharma Realm together, I believe His Highness Brahma will reward you handsomely."

"Forget it, I'm barely at the second limit, my strength is too weak to join in the fun. I'll only consider it if I'm sure I can protect myself."

Meng Chuan was not tempted and refused outright.

But what Tama said did tempt him somewhat.

The altar and that glass lamp are both extremely valuable martial arts resources, which will be of great use to one's future.

According to the other party, apart from the core elements of Brahma's faith, Brahma himself is also one of the keys to unlocking the Dharma realm of the Saha world.

As long as he doesn't go, Fanluo and the others won't be able to enter and will only be able to watch helplessly from outside the Dharma Realm.

Why not just stay put until we're strong enough, and then, after ensuring there's no danger, go together?
Domo was not annoyed and confirmed a second time:

"Does Benefactor Meng mean that we shouldn't go now, but rather go later?"

Meng Chuan pondered for a moment, then nodded:
"That's true. At the very least, I, Meng, would not consider traveling to the Western Regions before I become a martial arts master."

Destroy Fang Jianxing, Dawn Martial Arts.

Only after these two things are done will we consider other things.

Upon hearing this, Domo was not angry but rather pleased, his tone quite excited:

"Then it's a deal!"

This is a good opportunity to buy time!

Meng Chuan's move was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was about to fall asleep.

This lad also has a strong backing in the Central Plains.

Even Prince Fanluo couldn't do anything about this boy, so he could only wait patiently.

Everyone should just wait, preferably until they've received their monthly stipend and become a high-ranking official before making any moves.
After a moment's thought, Meng Chuan understood what Domo was planning.

The longer you delay, the more advantageous it will be for them.

This work can't be done for nothing.
Meng Chuan took a sip of tea, tapped the sand crystal on the table with his fingers, and smiled:

"Master Domo, there's no need to keep Prince Brahma waiting too long."

You should have checked my Qi and Blood cultivation speed; you know it in your hearts.

Maybe we can set off next year.

"."

Domo's face darkened as he scrutinized Meng Chuan's behavior.

It took me a while to figure out what it meant.
Bad habits of the Central Plains!

One crystal wasn't enough for him; this brat was still asking for more.
Give!
Doma's heart is bleeding.
Seeing that Master Domo seemed to have figured it out, Meng Chuan smiled knowingly. "He's very perceptive."
Then the other party took out another piece, a green vine with seven yellow leaves.

It is only three inches long, but as soon as it appears, the whole room is filled with fragrance.

The unique fragrance, combined with its distinctive shape, prompted him to recall the illustrated guide to rare and precious herbs and search through it.

In a moment of surprise, Meng Chuan stared at the object.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be [Seven-leafed Yellow Vine].

Judging by its size, it is enough to fill a third-grade heavenly treasure, and is truly incomparably precious.

It is available for sale in the Armory of Merit, priced at 300 special battle merits.

This item is worth more than the reward for searching the temple in the Demon's Nest in a few days!

I wasn't planning on going early anyway, so agreeing to go was just a convenient thing to do.

Unexpectedly, Meng Chuan was somewhat taken aback by the results.

But his expression remained calm and composed, and his slight joy quickly subsided.

This is the coincidence of strength, influence, and talent coming together.

Before him stood a martial arts master from the Western Regions, and behind him were the two holy offspring.

Neither of them are people who can be manipulated at will.
Apart from himself, who is protected by Brahma, no other two people could do this.
In short, the other party needed his help; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

It was rightfully his; there was no need to be overjoyed as if he had found money.

With a calm mind, Meng Chuan put down his teacup and, with a flick of his finger, made a slight hook on the table, and the sand crystals and vines disappeared.

I'll accept it first, so that Master Tamo can rest assured.
As expected of a top-tier bodyguard, everything he eats and uses is top-notch.
After accepting the "bribe," the atmosphere between the two eased considerably.

Meng Chuan Chuan poured tea for Master Dumo, and both host and guests were delighted.

A thought struck him, and he chuckled:
"Senior Tamo is so wealthy, I am extremely envious! Does His Highness Fanluo need a prince companion? I am about to graduate and would like to find a job as well."

"You have a bright future ahead of you. The Central Plains are vast and boundless. Going to the Western Regions would only limit your own development. Don't be irrational."

If that little bastard comes, I'll be out of a job.
Fanluo has the backup plan of the Great Sage of Loulan; he has no shortage of bodyguards, only a lack of talent.

Meng Chuan smiled slightly:
"The Central Plains are certainly good, but developing in the Western Regions is also a better option with a wider horizon."

"This old monk advises you to think twice. Considering the two threats you made to Fanluo earlier, it's a miracle he didn't bury you in the sand."

"You're exaggerating, senior. I believe His Highness Fanluo is not such a petty person."

We are both prodigies in the path of martial arts, so it is only natural that we admire each other.

"."

"Haha, senior, don't be so serious, I was just kidding."

Seeing that Domo still didn't reach into his pocket, Meng Chuan stopped teasing him.

Even a clay figure has a temper; don't provoke this black monk, Domo.
Tama's expression softened, and he slowly said:
"Don't agree to anything about the Dharma realm of the Saha world too soon. Wait until I speak first, then you can agree."

"To claim credit for this?"

Meng Chuan's words are always incisive and to the point.
Tama frowned slightly, and his voice slowly persuaded:

"Hey kid, don't say such nasty things."

Now that you have everything, once you finally agree, I will help you get enough benefits. Are you satisfied with that?

Tama was worried that he would ask for more money, so he quickly made it clear in advance.

Meng Chuan nodded. Isn't this just a scene of Liu Bei visiting Zhuge Liang three times to invite him to come out of seclusion?

They've already gotten two kinds of top-grade rare and precious herbs from Tama.

Acting is something I do easily, so I don't need to get extra money.
After drinking the tea in his cup in one gulp, Doma stood up, said goodbye, and left.

"Remember, do not reveal that you are a Brahma protector recently."

"The more you do, the more mistakes you'll make. Just stay put and leave everything else to me."

Meng Chuan nodded, deciding to ignore these things and treat the rare and precious materials as if they were found on the ground.
"Understood, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Tama left happily, pleased to receive the gift.

Everything else is fake; getting the treasure and improving your strength is what really matters.

Whether to go or not, we'll see when the time comes.

Even if he's shameless enough to renege on his debts, he should stay in the Central Plains and coastal areas and not wander off.

Even Brahma couldn't do anything about him, and Domo was even more helpless.
Meng Chuan always remembered the promise Principal Sui had made to him.

The act of passing on the fundamental fire-elemental divine skill he had learned clearly showed that he regarded him as a disciple.

If I didn't know the bond between myself and my master, I could probably have done it even as a direct disciple.

A newly appointed disciple of the Great Sage!

Grand-disciple of a legendary swordsman!

He too is a descendant of two saints, so his background is not much different from that of the Brahma.
Besides, there's no need to bring out the background.

After the martial arts competition ends next year, I will make my mark in front of the national leadership and even win the title of "Number One in the World for Generations".

When that time comes, when Fanluo sees him again, he will have to call him Brother Chuan!
What is the significance of being the first in a generation?

The most famous generation's number one is now the pinnacle of human martial arts!

[Zhao Linyuan, the Great Sage of Heavenly Decree, who is about to break through the eighth level and lead the human dimension to an elevation!]
Even in previous years, he was always the number one in the Great Chu Kingdom.

Breaking through to the Venerable Heavenly King level is a sure thing, and each one is hailed as a potential Great Sage.

Moreover, this year's event is a gathering of talents from all over the world, a chance to shine alongside the best of talent globally!
If I could, with my body just entering the third limit, I could shatter through the entire Dawn Martial Arts Arena.

That is a national treasure, the future of humanity.

How dare the Brahma speak?

And what about Venerable Yin Tianshou, who is far away in Yong'an? Should he also put away his little schemes?

With this in mind, the matter of the morning martial arts competition became even more important to him.

However, it also helped him calm down.

Given my current strength, let alone winning the championship, even making the top 100 is a stretch.

That's competing against the world's strongest geniuses under thirty.

How could it be an easy task?
Speaking of Brahma alone, he probably couldn't beat him now.
He cultivated the "Demon Seed in the Heart of the Dao," possessing divine power within him.

In addition, with the [Aura Observation Technique], one can sense the aura of those who are similar to them.

The snake scent emanating from that second-generation martial artist from the Western Regions was too strong and intense, something that couldn't be achieved with ordinary martial arts techniques.

Given that his father, [Loulan Great Sage Fan Gao], was the strongest practitioner of the Snake Form School, Fan Luo most likely possesses Snake Form Divine Skill.

Compared to the other side, She Yu from the UN General Assembly headquarters was like a green recruit, not even one-thousandth as good.

Therefore, Meng Chuan made a bold guess.

Unless he is finally liberated and empowered by the true energy of the demonic seed, he will absolutely be no match for these two holy offspring.

Besides
There's also what Liao Chen and the others said about the Shaolin senior brother Liao Huo, who missed this national mission because of the opportunity to break through the fourth level of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top!
Next year, he will still be under thirty years old and qualified to participate in the Dawn Martial Arts Competition.

At that time, you will likely have to face a martial arts master.
Meng Chuan's pressure suddenly increased.

We must break three!

We must build a physical performance hall to fully master the liberation of the body!

Otherwise, the title of the generation's number one will definitely slip through my fingers!

While tidying up the teacups, Meng Chuan muttered to himself:

"I must seize this opportunity. If the Supernova Tournament at the martial arts stage is my chance to gain momentum..."

Therefore, the [Dawn Martial Arts Competition] will be the true ladder to heaven for me in the martial arts stage.”

Martial arts cannot be easily mastered by simply practicing hard.

Do what you've always upheld, and strive for what you have the opportunity to obtain; this is the essence of your mindset.

Adhering to the original principles of martial arts and not being misled by greed is the essence of true willpower.

When will and intention are in harmony, the candle in one's heart will never be extinguished.

Returning to the quiet room, I lit the lamp.

With an ever-increasing number of martial arts techniques at his disposal, Meng Chuan was determined to become a master of time management.

Currently, my main martial arts training focuses on the Five Elements and the Nine Forms of Subduing Demons.

Among them, select the most important.

These are the four elements of metal, wood, water, and earth, and they are the "Xiangwang Five Elements Fist" created by the four schools.

Upon closer inspection, the one closest to breaking the limit is the water-attribute [Overlapping Waves Shattering Rock Fist].

With a little more effort, it should be done in four or five days.

As for the remaining three gates, they are still some distance from breaking the limit, and even if they go faster, they won't be able to catch up with the national mission.

It's not that the special effects of providing insights related to the Five Elements are ineffective, nor is it that Meng Chuan was lazy.

True skill in boxing is extremely difficult for ordinary people to master.

To be able to spend several years cultivating to the point of mastery and acquire true skills and ultimate techniques is already a remarkable achievement.

Unlike him, he makes progress every day, and can completely master a boxing style in just a few months, or even break through the limits.

Ultimately, Meng Chuan's cultivation speed was already very fast.

With the assistance of another certificate, one can master every style of boxing, never forgetting it, which is already an immense fortune.

One must control one's greed, not only towards external things, but also towards one's own martial arts.

He was satisfied with his current progress and could continue his cultivation step by step. To accelerate his cultivation, he would need to rely on external resources and strive for them.

He opened his hands and looked at his palms.

The two newly acquired treasures lay quietly in my hands.

I haven't slept for five days and I'm a bit tired.

Meng Chuan extinguished the lamp, swallowed the treasure, and handed over the sand crystal and yellow vine to Dao Xin for refining.

He, on the contrary, acted as if nothing had happened and lay down to sleep.

As I drifted off to sleep, thinking of the upcoming dawn martial arts competition, I murmured to myself:

"A favorable wind lends its strength, sending me soaring to the heavens."

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared.

The sun was not yet in the center, and its rays slanted across the platform.

Aside from last night's torrential rain, the sun has been getting bigger and bigger every day for some reason lately.

Meng Chuan got up early to practice his boxing. He was lucky this morning and triggered the "Dawn and Dusk Enlightenment" skill, which greatly improved his boxing technique.

【True Martial Nine Forms for Subduing Demons: Proficiency (33%) → (48%)】

Don't underestimate the 15% figure; for this style of boxing, it's a significant improvement.

He practiced for about ten days, but only gained 5% proficiency, which is equivalent to 0.5% progress per day.

One moment of enlightenment can save you a whole month of effort.

This is also why he practices this boxing style every morning and evening.

Cultivation is difficult, but it provides a lot of vital energy.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, this method is naturally the most effective.

Moreover, he possesses numerous traits related to the Five Elements.

I occasionally have a sudden epiphany while practicing the Five Elements Fist. I'm not afraid of a moment of enlightenment at dawn or dusk.

After some contemplation, my blood and energy surged like a dragon.

Meng Chuan pondered for a moment, then muttered to himself:
"Truly worthy of being called Wudang's Demon-Subduing Divine Power, a top-tier true skill fist."

"A 15% increase in the proficiency stage grants nearly 200 points of health; impressive!"

That's normal; top-tier martial arts wouldn't possess such power.

When a master breaks through to the Grandmaster level, where does he get the nearly 100,000 Qi and Blood points required?

The path of martial arts is a gradual one, requiring constant practice and refinement.

After finishing my morning exercise, I was almost late for the appointment with Chen and the others, as well as the little monk.

Grabbing the room key for the meditation room, Meng Chuanshan sped along the mountain road.

Each step covered a hundred meters, sweeping down the mountain like a gust of wind.

Bai Bao emerged from seclusion, pushed open his own door, and stretched his arms to loosen his muscles.

Seeing the sun shining brightly, making it even more radiant, I couldn't help but sigh.

Then, sensing something, he looked at the boy's retreating figure as he descended the mountain, and chuckled to himself:
"This lad is indeed bold and meticulous. He dares to betray the offspring of two saints with a mere second-tier cultivator; I didn't have such courage when I was young."

He was an honest monk, unlike Meng Chuan who was bold.

"By the way, I wonder how well that kid is learning Buddhist principles. I'll give him a heads-up next Monday; we need to get started."

The Grand Taoist Ritual in the Taihang Mountains is imminent.
This joint operation to eradicate the Whispers of the Mountains is truly an unprecedented event in the history of demon slaying.

Abbot Xuanmou, carrying the Shaolin treasure, the [Damo Sword], is on standby in the Heavenly Demon Realm.

All the Buddhist celestial kings, including himself, were also preparing to depart.

First, we went to Longhu Mountain in western Hunan to participate in the setup of the grand formation.

Taoism and Buddhism have merged, joining forces for the first time in this battle.

The aim is to combine the wonders of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly with the Taoist Luotian Grand Ritual.

Of course, it wouldn't be possible without him.

Besides being a divine monk, why is Bai Bao also called a Dharma Master?
The word "law" refers to the way of formations.

The term "mage" is not the same as the definition of a martial arts profession in other countries.

He was respectfully addressed by everyone as "the foremost master of array formations in the world"!
With the mission deadline fast approaching, time seemed to speed up considerably.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, Meng Chuan has been spending time with his teammates in his spare time, working together to improve their teamwork and coordination.

No matter what, it's still a level two demon nest.

The master of its inner demon nest, [Chi Li], is a demon that ordinary beings of the Three Limits cannot defeat.

Most importantly, we still need to explore the temples within and complete the national mission.

Unexpected events may occur, so it's essential to prepare in advance.

This time, he wasn't traveling alone; the foundation for everything lay in the process of getting to know each other.

He and the four monks, including Liaochen, were all bald.

It's also a self-deprecating term, jokingly referring to them as the "Bald Head Team."
Under the sunlight, the five bald heads gleamed brightly; who could resist taking a closer look?
In any case, Master Shinan couldn't stand it; it felt even more comfortable to handle than a walnut.
He held a stick in one hand and pointed at several people on the sidelines.

It's a good opportunity to teach Meng the staff technique and give these four monks a workout.

After leaving the demon's lair, don't disgrace Shaolin.
Time flies by, and the sun sets in the west.

The five walked side by side, with the young monk Jueming following beside them.

He had to address monks of the "了" generation as "Master" or "Uncle".

It was also thanks to Meng Chuan that I was able to gather with the four monks and chat about everything under the sun.

After parting ways with Jueming, the five of them went to Chen's new home and talked about their mission.

Meng Chuan sat down by the sea and accepted a pear from a young novice monk.

Take a few bites, then sit aside and wait.

He only learned about the Crimson Demon's Nest from the mission system.

As for anything else, I have no idea.

But it doesn't matter, the captain always speaks last and makes the final decision.
"My cousin lives in Fengdeng City and is a garrison soldier."

I've heard that Chi Li is quite powerful, with a superior bloodline among the Heavenly Demons, and is by no means an ordinary second-level Demon Nest Lord.

If we take martial arts cultivation as an example, he could probably rival Senior Brother Liao Huo, who was at the peak of the third level.

The concept of bloodline is also an artificial judgment based on the race of the Heavenly Demons themselves.

Some demons are destined to be cannon fodder at the bottom for their entire lives.

However, a very small number of celestial demons are born with the title of "Great Demon".

After Liao Hai, who looked remarkably like Tang Sanzang, finished speaking, the other three monks all turned their gazes to him.

Meng Chuan frowned:

"What do you mean? Why are you all looking at me?"

Liao Chen squinted and patted his shoulder:

"Since you have taken over the captaincy from Senior Brother Huo, you should naturally take the lead. Chi Li is now in your hands."

"That's absolutely right, that makes perfect sense."

The other three monks spoke in unison.

Qing's voice was the loudest, carrying a hint of schadenfreude.

I still feel a bit resentful about losing the captaincy.
Seeing that all the blame was being directed at him, Meng Chuan realized that these thieving monks had finally revealed their true colors.
But he spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Sirs, I have also participated in many joint police missions."

I also have some insights into the formations between small teams.

"Then please explain in detail, Captain. I am all ears."

Liao Chen crossed his arms and listened to Meng Chuan's sophistry.
"The core of the police station's five-person squad is [complementary functions and a balance between offense and defense]."

From this, two major battle formations were derived: the [Frontline Guard Formation] and the [Triangular Thrust Formation].

"Are you serious?"

Liao Chen was dumbfounded; he hadn't expected Meng Chuanzhen to know so much.
Meng Chuan glanced at the fat monk and continued:

"There are two main formations. The former is more versatile and suitable for steady progress."

The latter is a burst of attack, suitable for surprise attacks and breaking through enemy lines, you all know that, right?

"clear."

"In the former formation, Fat Monk, you act as the iron wall in front, while Liaoqing and Liaoyuan act as the output position to flank."

As the strongest among them, I moved in the center, providing assistance wherever needed. Master Hai, being relatively weaker, stayed at the rear.

The latter is a triangular formation, with Master Liaochen leading the way with two dragons at the forefront.

Master Liaoqing and I had a high burst of energy, positioned in the midfield triangle to assist in the breakout. Liaoyuan and Liaohai provided support from the rear, and anyone in the triangle area who was running out of energy could be replaced at any time.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Chen became unhappy:
So, no matter what, I'm stuck standing at the very front?

Although Liao Qing didn't understand it, he did discover a major problem:
"Benefactor Meng, no matter how the formation changes, you're always in the middle, right?"

"It's necessary for the formation and its functions. Being in the center also makes it convenient to provide support to everyone at any time and ensure the safety of all the masters."

Besides, there's no need to form a formation unless absolutely necessary. Didn't we agree that it wouldn't hinder our progress, and we could hunt on our own?

Aside from completing missions to obtain special battle merits, you can also reap a large amount of ordinary battle merits by thoroughly harvesting resources in the Demon Nest, so don't miss out.

His words were reasonable and well-founded. Apart from the dust, the monks pondered for a while and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! Let's do it this way!"

No matter how the formation is arranged, the one leading it is always that fat monk, Liao Chen.
"I object! Buddha is all fat, and leading the charge will slow down the overall progress."

Even if Benefactor Meng occupies the central position, Qinglai should be at the head!

The monks made a ruckus, shouting and clamoring:

"Opposition is ineffective; the minority must submit to the majority. Captain, give the order quickly!"

"."

"That's settled then. The minority shall obey the majority. Anyone who violates the rules after leaving the Demon's Nest shall be reported in accordance with the relevant laws of the Great Chu."

I have other things to do, so I won't try Master Chen's cooking. I'll be leaving now.

Meng Chuan had been the team leader more than once, so he was very familiar with this routine.

He waved and turned to leave.

He was worried that the fat monk had poisoned the food.
The next morning, the weather was sunny and bright.

"It's been exactly one week; there's still room for improvement."

Meng Chuan sat amidst the overgrown weeds, took a breath, and suddenly felt the tranquility of the green trees.

Since Master Domo left, the two from the Western Regions have made no further moves.

Presumably, he is still working hard on Van Loon.

Being caught in the middle is indeed not easy.
But he was happy with it; the baby was already in his belly, and there was no point in Domo backing out.
Since consuming the two treasures that night, the [Seven-Leaf Yellow Vine] has been digested long ago.

It transforms into a "Polygonatum" power, acting on the vicinity of the kidney dantian.

As time passed, the effects gradually spread from the kidney essence through the muscles and bones to the limbs and the entire body.

The entire process nourishes the fibers like ivy twining around them.

The taut tendon gradually turned a pale yellow luster, and its elasticity and toughness improved.

As the blood and qi surge, the tendons seem to be repeatedly forged by an invisible hand.

Each punch was delivered with greater harmony and increased power.

Finally, the kidney pills received most of the medicinal benefits.

Meng Chuandun felt his stamina had increased significantly, and his endurance had greatly improved.

As for [Sand Sea Illusion Crystal]...

Meng Chuan sensed something entering his body and looked into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Amidst the rolling yellow sand, the Daoist heart shone brightly in the center, as if seeking credit.

Like the Immortal Tears Gold, this item requires spiritual power to refine.

After four nights of back-and-forth, it was finally completely refined.
