With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 442 Leaping over high mountains, nine weirs, green pines, fairy tears, and gold information!
However, special cases require special handling.

Recently, Li Xiao has been collecting records of Meng Chuan's growth.

You wouldn't believe it at first glance, but once you saw it, you were shocked!
This little bastard's growth rate is just too incredible.
From not even reaching the Qi and Blood Gate to becoming a Second-Level Martial Arts Master in less than four years?
If we don't eliminate them soon, they may become the next Northern Alliance Sui Dynasty!
In order to eliminate Meng Chuan, he secretly made up his mind.
"Knowing that this kid will inevitably go to Wudang Mountain in the future, we might as well lie in wait nearby and kill him with lightning speed."

Having laid an ambush at the entrance to the Daoist holy land, Li Xiao had no intention of letting the six Ascended cultivators who were carrying out this mission return alive.
Since the people of Blackwater and Outer Heaven cannot "come back to life," they certainly wouldn't sacrifice their own skilled fighters.

He knows this.

With that thought in mind, he made a phone call:

[Zhu Yun, Meng Chuan is a major threat to our sect and a thorn in the side of our divine master; he must be eliminated. But you will likely return to the sea of ​​reincarnation.]

"Yes, sir."

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Yun's expression remained unchanged.

For someone as deeply "possessed" as him.

Return to God's Kingdom and serve at God's side.

It is both destiny and one's own original prayer.

He was prepared, so he didn't feel any emotion.

Li Xiao looked satisfied and said calmly:
[Alright, but you probably can't kill this kid on your own. I'll send you some more men.]

[My lord, we will surely kill this brat, all for the sake of the God Lord!]

April 25, the westernmost foothills of the Qinling Mountains.

Meng Chuan stood on the hilltop, looking down at the dividing line between the Three Qin and Jing Chu regions.

This is the intersection of two provinces.

He could have arrived here three days ago.

But in order to deliberately avoid a level four demon nest, we took a long detour to get here.

This level-four demon lair had previously experienced a riot. There are quite a few "wild demons" roaming around here, who escaped during the last riot.

Although most of those with strong demonic energy have already been intercepted and killed by powerful individuals.

However, there are still some skilled at hiding, and a small number of "lucky" demons roaming around the area.

The Great Chu still has countless demon nests to suppress, and not enough martial artists to play hide-and-seek with these celestial demons.

They then directly designated that area within a hundred kilometers as a "restricted zone."

There are troops stationed in all directions at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, so there's no need to worry about them sneaking into the city.

Therefore, the outer perimeter of the Qinling Mountains is still fine; these demons have learned their lesson and dare not approach.

However, lone travelers venturing into this area should be cautious.
On the way up the mountain, Meng Chuan took other routes, compressing them to the limit and proceeding with extreme caution before finally arriving here.

He only dared to walk along the outer edge of the Qinling Mountains because he had the [recording stone] in his hand.

Without Lao Yang's backup plan, Meng Chuan would be walking on thin ice.

Instead of appreciating nature on the mountain, we obediently went down the mountain and took the national highway.

However, the thing I was worried about didn't happen. The outer area was indeed relatively safe, and I didn't encounter any demons.

But at this moment, when descending the mountain from the western foothills into Hubei Province...

It's easy to accidentally wander into the boundary of the restricted area, greatly increasing the danger.

At the mountaintop, Meng Chuan scanned the surrounding area with his senses, pondering in his heart:

"Yes, the wind direction is very good."

Then, he jumped straight down from the southern foot of the mountain.

Sensing the direction of the wind, he used the hovering technique taught to him by Principal Chong, as well as the effect of his own [Cloud Trace] trait.

Meng Chuan was in the sky, gliding along the path of the wind.

If your body starts to sink, lightly touch the ground with your feet to float upwards and continue drifting.

The technique that Principal Chong taught is really useful.

If you go straight down the mountain, the chances of encountering the Heavenly Demon are quite high.

I'll fly straight to the foot of the mountain; what can you do about it?
As for how it lands, even if the inertia is too strong and it can't stop, it will simply be a meteorite crashing like Mount Tai.
Anyway, it's sturdy and durable.
Feeling the wind's support, Meng Chuan looked up at the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, his mind clear and calm.

As everyone knows, only those who have flown know how exhilarating it is to fly.
At this moment, Meng Chuan's biggest thought was...

It's time to break through the third level; quickly find a master to learn "riding the clouds and mist".

They all practice "thunder magic." If their master could fly during the Three Limits period, there's no reason why they couldn't fly on their own.

The scenery below the mountain, along with the distant city clusters, gradually magnified in my eyes.

He adjusted his orientation, preparing for approach and landing.

After descending the mountain, Meng Chuanxian found a hotel in a nearby town to stay in.

Having lived like a "wild man" for so long, even though the dust on my body can be shaken off easily, I still feel uncomfortable if I don't take a shower.

While soaking in the bathtub, Meng Chuan pondered his next route.

Wudang Mountain is not far from here, just about 100 kilometers ahead, near Jiuyan City.

Therefore, we decided to avoid the mountain paths.

If you wish to further appreciate the natural scenery of the Jingchu region, then take a look.

We'll talk about it when we leave Wudang and head towards Shaolin Temple on Mount Song.

But before going to Wudang Mountain, Meng Chuan had two things to do in Hubei.

First, he should confront the Tai Chi school that constantly criticizes him online, since he truly holds a grudge.
We can just ask Wang Ye of Wudang to guide us when the time comes; having a local bigwig like him will make things easier.

Secondly, Zhushan City, located near Jiuyan, is rich in turquoise ore.

Deep within the vein, a very small amount of "Immortal Tears Gold" is also produced.

Although the government controls this item, Meng Chuan still wanted to go there and see if he could try his luck.

The Golden Tears of Immortals can enhance a martial artist's spiritual foundation and is extremely rare. Moreover, this is exactly what I currently lack, and it's a valuable item that can fill the gap in my abilities.

His current "divine foundation" is compared to his vital essence.

The gap is still significant and urgently needs to be filled.

Meng Chuan's current consumption of special battle merits mainly consists of two major components: higher quality snow lotus and a large amount of Immortal Tear Gold.

If we could get some of this item from its place of origin, it would alleviate a lot of the pressure of special battle achievements, allowing Master to eat the [Millennium Snow Lotus] sooner.
However, he didn't expect his luck to be maxed out.

They went into the mine and started picking up treasures all over the place.
The original turquoise mining area was privately contracted, and most of the turquoise produced there was made into exquisite accessories, which were quite valuable.

Now, the effects of the Immortal Tears Gold have been discovered.

Due to their scarcity, they were immediately placed under the control of the Great Chu and made available for exchange by powerful domestic martial artists.

To prevent precious martial arts resources from flowing overseas due to private greed.

Later, these mining areas were also changed from private to state-owned, and now he can't even enter the mine shafts.

Currently, both turquoise and "Fairy Tear Gold" are sourced from [Yajiaoshan Turquoise Minerals Co., Ltd.]

It is responsible for a series of production activities, including mining and refining.

Meng Chuan's "old buddy" Shen Shuo is the head of Hanhai's northern region.

He happened to know the company's general manager, Wang Jian.

Meng Chuan wanted to find out more about how to exchange special battle merits for Immortal Tears Gold in the Merit Armory area.

Are there any other "higher-level" methods to obtain this item?
After taking a bath, Meng Chuan's body was slightly warm, having absorbed the moisture.

He picked up the phone and called Lao Shen.

The call was answered quickly.

On the other side, Shen Shuo saw that it was Meng Chuan calling and answered casually:
[Meng Chuan?]

[It's me, Mr. Shen. Your voice is full of energy!]

[Spit it out.]

Shen Shuo knew Meng Chuan's nature; he wouldn't visit unless he had a reason.

The fact that they've taken the initiative to call me means they probably need something from me.

To be honest, wasn't I planning to travel to Wudang Mountain?

I just happened to be passing by Yajiao Mountain. I heard you have a very close relationship with the CEO of Yajiao Mountain Company. I was just about to ask you about the Immortal Tears Gold.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Shuo had a dark expression on his face; he knew this kid was up to no good.

I do know them, and we're actually quite close. But it's a state-owned company in the Great Chu, so back channels won't work.

Now that you're a national talent, I'm reminding you, don't do these things, they could easily damage your image with the country.

Shen Shuo was worried that Meng Chuan would "go astray," so he couldn't help but remind him.

On the other end of the phone, Meng Chuan explained:

[Old Shen, do you think I'm that kind of person? I just wanted to ask if, aside from special battle merits, I could exchange them for martial arts resources of equal value.]

Shen Shuo thought for a moment and said:

It's probably hopeless. The annual production of this thing is limited, and the Great Chu keeps a very tight watch on it.

If you want to barter, you'll have to ask Lu Ang Heavenly King; he might be able to make the decision.
I know you're lacking resources related to "gods." But aside from exchanging special battle merits, don't even think about getting your hands on Immortal Tears Gold.

I'll keep an eye out for rare pills that can help with mental strength. You haven't chosen the martial arts pill you're entitled to every two years in your contract yet; I'll snatch it for you as soon as it's ready.

[Understood, thank you Lao Shen.]

"You're too kind. You saved your Aunt Bai's apprentice, and now that you've finished your travels, you've come to Shanghai. She wants to treat you to a meal."

【no problem. 】

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chuan fell into deep thought.

According to Shen Shuo, there was indeed no need for him to go to Yajiao Mountain to find Wang Jian again.

As for asking Lu Ang, Meng Chuan thought...
Let's forget about it.
I don't have many valuable items on hand right now; they're all useful "non-saleable" items.

Let's talk about good things we don't need in the future.

With that thought in mind, and seeing that it was getting late, he decided to focus on his mental cultivation and contact Wang Ye again the next morning.

During the intervals between cycles of the Great Circulation, adjust your breathing.

Meng Chuan used his phone to reply to his friends on Mount Li, as well as to the concerned inquiries from his uncle and aunt.

He replied with a smile to each message: "[Everything is fine.]"

Upon seeing the National Talent Pool System, another notification popped up, and Meng Chuan habitually clicked on it.

It turned out that the specific time and place for Zhou Sheng's sermon had been set. He looked at the date and saw that it was only a few days until May 1st.

Meng Chuan didn't have time to go, so he had to give up with regret.

He also checked the [National Mission System] to see if any new missions had appeared.

Whether or not to do it is another matter, but the specific details of these tasks are relatively rare information and worth reading.

"The Deer-Sitting Arhat among the Eighteen Arhats has also been confirmed to be corrupted by demons."
The Wuyishan Mingxin School's collaboration with the Wuci Temple reforms—has even corrupted Lu Yu, the Tea God?

The former goes without saying; he is a famous Buddhist monk and arhat.

The latter is a deity who protects the growth of tea leaves and the profits of tea farmers.

Tea lovers and growers often worship Lu Yu, which is a characteristic of the industry.

As he flipped through the national missions, Meng Chuan felt a surge of urgency.

The increasing number of incense offerings and religious offerings being corrupted by demons indicates that the speed at which celestial demons are invading the human world is accelerating.
