With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 381 I've lost my tiger, but I've got the resources. Who would take drugs if I had a cheat code?

at the same time.

Far away in Fengtian City, at the Grand Master's Residence of the United Nations General Assembly Headquarters.

Passing through the vermilion gate guarded by two bronze tiger sculptures, one enters a secluded room deep inside, seemingly seated in meditation.

Centered on the place where he sat or lay, within a radius of ten zhang, there was a striped tiger, sometimes lying down and sometimes standing, its movements rising and falling slowly with his cultivation posture.

Gradually, an invisible ripple spread out.

The ripples spread across the spotted tiger, creating faint waves.

Immediately afterwards, the tiger's body trembled violently, as if a television screen had frozen.

The tiger stripes transformed into streams of light, disintegrating inch by inch until they vanished without a trace.

"What happened? Did I mess up my training?"

Shang Ruyi suddenly frowned, and once again activated his inner power, his body radiating a mighty tiger aura.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, but the tiger was still nowhere to be seen.

He stood up and stared intently at the painting on the wall.

If Meng Chuan were here, he would surely recognize him.

The ferocious tiger in the painting is a miniature version of the dead tiger in the world of mountain and forest imagery.
But this entire painting of the unknown beast king is many times more magnificent and grand than the scenes in his imagined world.

The tiger's figure in the picture occupies most of the scroll.

Even the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks were trampled under its feet, their bodies crumbling as if struggling to hold on.

What a terrifyingly pictographical concept!
Shang Ruyi stared for a moment, then murmured to himself:
"Why did my connection with the Mountain Lord suddenly break?"

"As expected of the Tiger Form's unparalleled divine skill, it must be that my skills are not up to par."

He tried to communicate several more times, but the mountain lord did not respond to him.

After failing to get anywhere, he finally took out his phone and made a call.

The person Shang Ruyi called was none other than the Tiger Form lineage, the one who was known as the King of Two Characters.

[Tiger King Liu Ruixiang]!
When the call connected, Shang Ruyi apologized:
[Hey Andy Lau, I'm sorry to bother you again, but I'd like to ask you something.]

Three days later, at Lishan in Yong'an.

The items Meng Chuan ordered from the Armory of Merits have arrived.

Because of the high value of the exchanged items, the Merit Department specially entrusted the Martial Arts Association to have martial arts practitioners personally escort them up the mountain.

At the entrance of the Southwest Associated University.

Meng Chuan stood there and saw a man carrying a large box walking towards him.

Show your phone and display your electronic personal identification.

"I am Meng Chuan, this is me."

The staff member took the phone, carefully checked and verified it, and then handed over the items with a smile.

"Hello, I am a salesperson from Quan Du Tong, a sub-brand of the Martial Arts Association. We accept insured shipments of all kinds of valuables."

"No matter where you are, I'll get there. This is my business card. Feel free to contact me to place an order if needed."

"Okay, thank you."

No wonder they could climb mountains to deliver it; they truly deserve the title of "all-rounder".
He coughed, put the other person's business card in his pocket, and then opened the box to check the contents.

After confirming that everything was correct, Meng Chuan nodded and thanked him.

"Um, courier service... no, how much is the shipping cost?"

"As a Silver Medal holder, the Merit Department has already covered the costs for you. Furthermore, if you contact us again for any future mailings, you will still enjoy a 10% discount."

At the same time, we will send out limited-quantity large-value discount coupons on the app every day, which can be expanded and even given away for free.

"Come on, let me help you register an account first. You can try your luck with a single draw."

"."

What if I need it later? Following the other party's instructions, Meng Chuan spent two minutes registering.

"Good luck! 180 off for purchases over 38,000!"

".Thanks."

Meng Chuan finally managed to shake off his opponent and returned to Huaqingchi with his suitcase.

Inside the villa.

He slowly opened the box and took out the items he had exchanged for with four thousand battle merits: a small, exquisite red gift box and a jade-green incense candle about the length of an index finger.

"It's so easy to spend money, but hard to earn it."

Most of the results of my week-long battle in the Demon's Nest are here.

Upon opening the gift box, ten "Nourishing Meridian Elixir" pills, each wrapped in a piece of silk, were revealed.

Each one is as white as jade and as plump as a pearl.

He had originally planned to try one to see the effect.

Unfortunately, the previous batch of Nourishing Meridian Pills in the school's alchemy room has all been sold out, and the next batch is still being refined.

In the Armory of Merit, a 10-piece gift box is 9.5% off, and half a pill is worth several million.

Meng Chuan thought about it and decided he should take advantage of the situation.
Pick it up and smell its fragrance, a scent as sweet as a hundred flowers in bloom.

A hint of bloody, beastly stench suddenly appeared amidst the murky atmosphere.

This is due to the residual power of the Heavenly Demon's true spirit contained within the pill.

Anything made using materials from the Heavenly Demon will retain a trace of this substance.

It must be removed with the aura of a martial artist or special techniques, otherwise it may affect the efficacy of the medicine or even backfire on the user's mind.

If this happened when he was first entering the first level, he might have been intimidated.

Now, Meng Chuan snorted coldly, his aura rising like a raging fire, and the blood-red canopy suddenly pressed down.

Before it could cause any trouble, it was instantly crushed into black smoke.

Then, with a casual flick of his wrist, the remaining spirits on the other nine pieces dissipated completely.

There's no need to wage a battle of wills; mere momentum is enough to remove the remaining impurities from these pills.

He closed the gift box. He had completed today's mental cultivation practice and would try to see the effects again tomorrow.

In addition, he also bought this blue incense candle.

Meng Chuan picked it up and brought it close to his nose to smell it.

"."

Without being lit, it indeed shows no signs of any supernatural activity.

"Aside from its green color, this [Fragrance of the Way] looks quite ordinary."

The effects are unknown; it's unclear whether they're truly as advertised as part of the "Meritorious Armory" campaign.

This incense stick may not look particularly impressive.

It is actually the corpse oil of a strange plant-like demon, refined with the core of a high-level shadow demon, and finally blessed by a high monk.
The manufacturing process is complex and requires scarce materials.

Therefore, the price was equivalent to half a set of Nourishing Meridian Pills, and he bought it with tears in his eyes.
Once ignited, it can burn for about half an hour.

Meng Chuan will be of great use in the future, so we can't waste his time now.

He carefully stored the harvest; the box was quite exquisite and could still hold other things. Meng Chuan also put it in the cabinet.

Meng Chuan had previously decided on the premium version of Five Elements Soup while inside the Demon Nest, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to buy it.

Military merits are hard to earn, so he first looked to see if there were any other ways to obtain them besides the merit armory.

In addition, one's Five Elements Martial Arts can be further enhanced as the [Five Qi Convergence] progresses.

Perhaps it won't be long before we don't need this anymore.

With the "cheat" in place, who would still take drugs?

Of course, his main concern was buying too much.

If the medicine is effective, taking one or two doses is not necessarily a bad thing.
Thinking of this, Meng Chuan pondered and said;
"Since I'm going to have a trial lesson with Master Qi tomorrow, I can ask him how effective the Five Elements Soup is for martial arts practitioners."

Master Qi is the newly appointed Xingyi martial arts master by the United Nations University.

Meng Chuan believed that the other party must have taken such medicine, because Qi Daoren's purpose in entering the world and descending the mountain was to earn martial arts resources and break through to the fourth level of Grandmaster.

Meng Chuan only heard from Master Dong yesterday that Master Qi, as a top-level master, was asking for a very high price.

The personnel department spent half a day negotiating a contract with them but couldn't reach an agreement, and almost gave up.

Later, it was Principal Yang who heard that the other party was skilled in the Five Elements Fist.

I personally intervened just now and finalized the decision.
