With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 311: Essential for stockpiling resources, making money, and committing murder and arson!

Seeing his apprentice's focused concentration while practicing martial arts, Luo Guanyun sighed inwardly.

As a martial arts master, it is truly inadequate to only provide financial assistance to one's disciples.

But there was nothing he could do; all his skills were contained within the Thunder Seed, which was frustrating.
Fortunately, Chuan'er had so many teachers and mentors from the United University to help him with this.

In addition, he himself is very competitive, and after breaking through the first major limit, his progress rate is still far ahead of his peers.

Solid and not bad.

Luo Guanyun muttered to himself:
"On the path of a martial artist, if I cannot be the guiding light, I will be the water that carries the boat."

That night.

Today's practice of the three-tiered boxing style is complete, and all three styles have been mastered simultaneously.

【Red Sand Palm: Mastery (6%)】

[Boiling Fist Small Frame: Proficient (7%)]

【Jiaowei Twelve Styles: Mastery (3%)】

With a strong foundation in the Five Elements martial arts principles, Meng Chuan's progress was remarkably rapid.

Such improvement in just about half a month of learning.

He could sense that the more he learned, the greater the probability of applying his knowledge to other areas.

Many obscure techniques can be mastered simply by thinking about them; there's no need to grind for proof or perpetual proof.

He glanced at his watch; it was already 11 p.m.

Although I still have plenty of energy, I can practice for a while longer.

But since we've finally managed to get out on a "trip," and we're heading back to Yong'an tomorrow, it wouldn't hurt to take a break and relax a bit.

Lying on the soft hotel bed, before going to sleep, Meng Chuan glanced at the Wuxie Town shopping mall as usual to see if there were any new or good items.

I'm quite well-off now, so there's no point in just leaving the money lying around.

The right way is to spend your money and turn it into real strength.

After a quick browse, it was still the same old items, but there were many more resources related to the Chencang Demon Nest.

It seems that since that night ended, the military has completed the integration of the Heavenly Demon resources and has begun selling them to the public.
The price of the Thorn of Sin [True Spirit] is much cheaper than before.

Meng Chuan bought some to stock up on for feeding the Dragon Demon later.

Normally, the price of a mid-level Heavenly Demon's true spirit is around 150 million.

The school initially offered me a buyback price of 130 credits.

Academic credits are more valuable than money.

Inflation is now caused by such resources.

Its true essence is already selling for a low price of 110 million in the mall.

Meng Chuan also has the [Silver Lion] which is 10% off, making it much more cost-effective. Why not take advantage of this deal?

"Ten of them together cost only 990 million. Let's take them."

After the deduction, Meng Chuan felt much more at ease seeing that he still had 38 million.

A man only has confidence when he has money in his hands.

This remains a profound truth even in the era of martial arts.

Finally, click on the "Auction in Progress" button at the top to begin your daily knowledge-building session.

【Precious Elixir - Bodhi Lotus Heart】

"A Buddhist treasure that can help martial arts masters increase their chances of achieving [Communication with Heaven and Man]."

Meng Chuan glanced at it; the price was too high to bear.

The value of the pills available to martial arts masters of the fourth level and above cannot be measured in monetary terms.

The interaction between heaven and man is a key to mastering the path to enlightenment.

The price of the elixirs that aid in this is even more difficult to estimate.

They occasionally appear in the Wuxie City, but they are always acquired through auctions using money.

Meng Chuan saw that there were still 24 hours left before the auction ended, and the price had already soared to a terrifying six billion.

"It's not money, it's Happy Beans!"

He suspected that the "true function" of this precious pill was a means for the government to specifically use to recoup money from the market.
"I'm still poor, otherwise I could get one for my master."

As he casually flipped through the pages, Meng Chuan found the auction items at the bottom to be of interest.

"What is this? An auction for a lump of meat?"

He clicked on it and then he understood.

This lump of meat is not ordinary; it is a [strange object].

Meng Chuan is no longer the country bumpkin he once was; he has been influenced by the library of the Southwest Associated University.

He already knew the origins and history of these strange and unusual things.

The full name of the strange object is "rare and exotic objects".

It is a synonym for rare things that are naturally grown and do not require any human intervention.

Such things were not uncommon in the ancient Chu state.

Back then, rumors often circulated in the martial arts world about who had obtained a "rare treasure" in which place.

But now, in the era of Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

These kinds of items have almost disappeared after extensive searches by predecessors.

Times have changed. The Great Chu is no longer the wild era of "going out to find, obtain, and seize treasures".

Therefore, nowadays, this creature is basically no longer found in the wild.

To acquire it, you must trade with the holder.

Alternatively, one could purchase it legally through state channels; murder and robbery are definitely not feasible.

At the same time, because each of these strange objects possesses different functions, their effects are varied.

Therefore, they cannot be classified by their common grade; their value is determined purely by the extent of their function.

The "soft flesh" that Meng Chuan is currently studying has been identified and named "Thousand Faces and Thousand Eyes".

"To change its appearance and alter its energy flow"

It seems somewhat useful, yet it also feels like it was born in the wrong era.
In the old days, that would have been an essential item for murder and arson.
Upon reaching the level of a Master of the Three Limits in cultivation, one can begin to adjust their personal appearance. Further along, as one's cultivation deepens, one can look whatever one desires.

Therefore, the price of a variety of products couldn't rise for a long time.

Its application scope is a bit narrow; experts can't use it, so its value is greatly reduced.

With 18 hours left before the auction closes, the price is only around 40 million.

Meng Chuan knew that the price of the rare item was not much lower than that of the True Martial.

Some of them are even more powerful than the Heavenly King's divine weapons.

In general, if measured in monetary terms, the price would not be less than one hundred million.

It's normal for other rare items like the "Thousand Faces and Thousand Eyes" which have two functions to sell for an extremely high price.

However, Meng Chuan estimated that the final transaction price of this item would be around 100 million, not much higher.

"It's only worthwhile if its second function, which alters the flow of Qi, is that it changes the value of Qi; otherwise, it wouldn't be worth even ten million."

After a martial artist advances to the level of a martial arts master, their perception abilities are greatly enhanced.

One can then anchor one's identity through one's outward manifestation of vitality, energy, and spirit, that is, one's "qi mechanism".

Trying to avoid others by changing your appearance is not a viable option.

Therefore, Meng Chuan felt that if an enemy sought revenge, this item could actually be useful in altering the flow of energy.
I glanced at the other items; they were all Zhenwu and martial arts pills, either useless or unaffordable.

When he closed his eyes to sleep, Meng Chuan recalled those thousand faces and a thousand eyes.

Feeling a pang of emotion, he pondered:
"If it weren't for the current real-name registration system for surfing the internet, this thing would be snapped up by martial arts practitioners."

By changing their appearance and altering their energy flow, they've completely cleaned themselves up and gotten away with it. Tsk tsk.

"."

Meng Chuan's expression froze, and his face changed slightly:

"Wait... This thing is extremely useful to me!"

After returning to Yong'an, Meng Chuan prepared to try out the Tortoise Shell Demon Art in his mind.

He originally planned to find a remote, desolate place outside the city, a place where no one was around and where the Skynet couldn't reach, to cultivate.

Wouldn't this provide an extra layer of protection?
Moreover, a person who does not plan for the future will surely have immediate troubles.

As long as one is under the coverage of the Heavenly Net, using the Demon Seed of the Dao Heart when fighting with others will inevitably leave a trace.

With this item, combined with the [Flesh Flower] trait, it's like turning a person into a living being.

Others have only seen him in his 90% to 200% liberated state.

I don't know if he can shrink his body down from 90%.
This is the first function of the Flesh Flower—[compression].

The essence of skin and flesh is concentrated in the flower pistil mark on the chest, and it can also shield others' perception based on the compression intensity!
Combining a thousand faces and a thousand eyes with compression will inevitably result in an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
A gaunt, sinister old man surrounded by billowing black energy appeared in his mind.
The more Meng Chuan thought about it, the more he felt that this item was destined for him.

"Get up early tomorrow and make some money; we must get this!"

Meanwhile, late at night, at the northern foot of Mount Li.

A rustling sound came from the bushes, and a moment later, Lin Yue's figure stepped out.

"Phew, the root system is finally set up. The most dangerous place is the safest place."

Who would have thought that I, a great demon, would dare to take root in Mount Li, a place teeming with powerful figures?

It separated a wisp of its true spirit from its original body and escaped, which was equivalent to the Great Emperor cutting himself eighty-eight times and sealing most of his cultivation.

His once overwhelming demonic power was reduced to less than one-tenth.

But
To freedom!
It appears that it has successfully escaped the control of [Mountain Whispers].

It is a free spirit wandering in the human world.
When it came to its senses, its root system had quietly extended.

An attempt was made to construct a mycelial network within the geological veins of Mount Li.

It presses its roots very deep, burying them thousands of meters underground, until they reach the Earth's core.

This is its original business, and it's difficult for the strong to discover it.

There are so-called Venerable Martial Arts Masters on Mount Li, whom I could have easily killed with my original strength.

But now, it has to behave itself.
The true form of Lin Yue Qimu is a demonic tree in the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Natural root systems need nutrients to sustain bodily functions.

Soil is only the most basic nutrient, and the best of all.
Looking into the distance, the brightly lit city of Yong'an is visible.

Within a radius of ten miles, the branches and leaves trembled slightly, as if emitting a soft rustling laugh:

"Humans... are truly an intoxicating source of nourishment."

The next morning, at Fengtian Xiantao Airport.

While waiting for his flight, Meng Chuan made a phone call to Chu Yanlong at the Yong'an branch school.

He didn't have enough money to acquire the Thousand Faces and Thousand Eyes card, so he decided to sell some academic credits.

"Master, you should pay for it. The credits are valuable; you can keep them for yourself."

Upon hearing about the uses of that wondrous object, Luo Guanyun also agreed that his disciple should acquire it.

He had noticed Meng Chuan's extraordinary nature very early on.

However, the two shared the same tacit understanding, and neither of them mentioned it.

After all, they are the closest people to us. If we couldn't notice, wouldn't we be out of our minds?
From never making a mistake twice when I first started practicing martial arts, to the physical abnormalities that followed, and the strange occurrences when studying advanced techniques.

Luo Guanyun felt that his apprentice's characteristics seemed to be...
It seems to have a life of its own.

As time goes by, it becomes stronger and stronger, and its tricks become more and more diverse.

"Since the awakening in Tongjia Lane, Chuan'er's traits must be quite terrifying."

Without a doubt, he possesses the qualities of a great sage!
After regaining his composure, Meng Chuan still refused.

He is also an adult in martial arts.

Now that I have money in my pocket, I should earn my own living and not rely on my parents.

He's always relied on his master for support and hasn't amounted to much.

When Luo Guanyun saw that Meng Chuan was determined to rely on himself, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Has backbone, not bad."
