Evil Immortal!

Normally, after entering the dungeon, players need to capture and interrogate the guard, or obtain important clues from other members of the Green Snake Gang. Only after that can they go to Linjiang City to continue investigating the first part of the [Bone Fang].

However, Meng Yuan already knew the general outline of this series of missions, so there was no need for him to go through all that trouble.

Therefore, without saying a word, he directly killed the old man guarding the dungeon.

Back on the banks of the Yinliu River, Meng Yuan found a secluded spot, opened his package, and tallied his spoils.

The gold, silver, jewelry, and other valuables totaled nearly three thousand taels.

This is clearly a huge sum of money...

The Azure Dragon Blade needs no further explanation.

Then there were several martial arts manuals, all of which were of medium to low quality.

Meng Yuan quickly skimmed through the several martial arts manuals.

[The inferior martial art "Black Tiger Fist" has been detected. Do you wish to learn it?]

[The intermediate-level martial art "Serpent's Breath Technique" has been detected. Do you wish to learn it?]

[The inferior martial art "Willow Floss Sword Technique" has been detected. Do you wish to learn it?]

......

"yes!"

Meng Yuan naturally chose to agree.

As soon as he finished speaking, streams of information flooded into his mind.

Shortly after, a notification appeared:

[System notification: You have learned the Black Tiger Fist!]

[System notification: You have learned the "Serpent Breathing Technique"!]

[System Upgrade: You have learned...]

......

Looking at the several new martial arts manuals on the panel, Meng Yuan was satisfied. He was just waiting for the players to arrive in a few months, and these would become his tools for fleecing them.

Immediately, he burned all the secret manuals.

Once you've learned it, there's no need to keep it.

Apart from the Green Dragon Blade and the White Bone Bodhisattva statue, Meng Yuan found a place to dig a pit and buried the rest of the items.

There are too many things to carry around.

Moreover, keeping it at home can easily cause trouble.

"It would be great if there was a storage bag."

Meng Yuan shook his head, filled the hole with soil, and then stood up.

He glanced at the attribute panel and saw that he had accumulated about 3700 experience points, enough to push the "Yin Wind Demon Slayer Blade" to its peak, with some left over.

Thinking about his upcoming journey through the Red Mud Swamp, Meng Yuan decisively used his experience to level up.

[Is it confirmed that 2800 experience points will be spent to upgrade "Yin Wind Demon Slayer Blade" to the Great Mastery level?]

"Sure!"

Meng Yuan's heart stirred.

A familiar feeling arose.

Meng Yuan began to appear dazed, and his mind gradually filled with memories and insights about cultivating the "Yin Wind Demon-Slaying Blade".

They had less of the time spent diligently practicing, but more combat experience from fighting and battling with others.

Through numerous encounters and life-or-death battles, he gradually gained a deeper understanding of this sword technique.

At the same moment, a cool, serpentine aura surged into his body, permeating his muscles and bones, tempering and strengthening his physique. His limbs became more coordinated and agile, and his body became lighter and more free, seemingly more suited to this sword technique.

He was still handsome, but there seemed to be a sharp edge in his eyes!

[You have reached the Mastery stage of "The Yin Wind Demon Slayer Blade"!]

Before long, Meng Yuan came to his senses with the prompts on the panel.

He reached out and grasped the Azure Dragon Blade, a sharp and imposing aura emanating from him, yet he held back his attack.

"I still lack experience..."

Meng Yuan glanced at the number "900" in the experience column and sighed softly.

"If we wait until we get our hands on 'The True Explanation of Ziyang' and 'Miscellaneous Talks on Weapon Refining by Qianjizi,' even if we learn them, we won't have any experience to level up! We need to find a way to accumulate more experience..."

The thought of the upcoming main job change and the weapon refiner sub-job change, both of which would require a lot of experience, gave Meng Yuan a headache.

Although his speed of reaching the second tier in just one month, meeting the requirements for job advancement, was already astonishing to many, Meng Yuan was not satisfied with that.

Or perhaps his ambitions are even greater! And his sense of urgency is even stronger!

His recent experiences have been quite unexpected.

Firstly, although Blood-Eyed Ancestor and Wu Xingkong were severely injured and forced to leave by Golden Feather True Man, given their ruthless and vengeful nature, they would never let it go... especially that bastard Wu Xingkong!

The reason why he and Blood-Eyed Ancestor were injured and defeated was not unrelated to Meng Yuan... It will definitely be investigated and clarified afterwards.

Moreover, this person was very interested in Meng Yuan at the time, and later seemed to have noticed something about him.

Secondly, there's Meng Yuan himself. The deformed sarcoma on his neck has sprouted an eyeball, and it's developing in some unpredictable and terrifying direction... Meng Yuan needs to curb this trend as soon as possible and resolve the pollution on his body!

Thirdly, today he also encountered the future Primordial Spirit True Demon, the infamous Blood-Clad Fairy...

Fortunately, Meng Yuan already had a clue how to gain more experience.

He possesses the skin of a Painted Skin Demon. Once he reaches the Red Mud Swamp and obtains the "Thousand Machines' Miscellaneous Notes on Weapon Forging," he can refine it into a magical artifact... With this as cover, he can disguise himself as an evil spirit, ambush demons and monsters, and level up effortlessly...

......

In the evening, on his way home, Meng Yuan glanced around several times, seemingly casually.

When he got home and closed the gate, he peeked out through the crack but found nothing.

For some reason, he had a feeling of being followed and spied on on his way here, but when he searched carefully, he couldn't find any clues.

Only now that the courtyard gate is closed has the feeling of being spied on disappeared.

"With my current cultivation level, ordinary people simply cannot deceive me. If someone can remain undetected, they must either have a cultivation level far exceeding mine or be a cultivator from another system..."

Meng Yuan's mind raced, and he quickly deduced the situation: "Among the people I've offended, the Green Snake Gang is insignificant, but the Qilao Mountain behind them is worth taking seriously. However, they have no idea who I am..."

"Only Wu Xingkong and Blood Eye Ancestor have grudges against me, but the latter is high and mighty and probably wouldn't care about a nobody like me. Only someone as petty and vicious as Wu Xingkong would do such a thing, but he was just severely injured by Golden Feather Master and is busy healing himself."

"Although he won't take action personally, he has already joined the Heavenly Eye Sect and become a disciple of the Blood Eye Ancestor. If he really wanted to deal with me, he would have plenty of ways... So, it's the Heavenly Eye Sect that's secretly watching me?"

Meng Yuan had not forgotten that the magic and supernatural powers of the Tianmu Sect focused on cultivating pupil techniques and were skilled in concealment, disguise, and reconnaissance. It would be extremely easy for them to keep an eye on him, a mere innate martial artist, without being detected.

Then, until late at night, Meng Yuan remained on guard in secret, but strangely, the person spying on him made no move.

"ah--"

However, not long after Meng Yuan fell asleep, he was awakened by a scream.

The screams were sharp and short, and soon stopped, replaced by the familiar sound of chewing!
