109: Cang Xuanzi is missing!

Cang Xuanzi, Sect Leader quickly controlled his strength, withdrawing all his aura.

"This, what is this?!"

Four times the strength of a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator!

Cang Xuanzi, Sect Leader felt that his strength had increased by a full four times!

"This skewer of roasted meat will grant the Sect Master a fourfold increase in combat power, lasting for an entire week." Meng Yun smiled faintly, cupping his hands slightly:

"Congratulations, Sect Master."

"Roasted Meat Peak, is it? This sect approves!"

Cang Xuanzi, Sect Leader tried his best to control the joy on his face, sternly disappearing from his original spot.

His figure vanished, but his voice still echoed in the main hall for a long time.

With a single step, his figure had already appeared ninety thousand miles away.

Before him, there were towering, cloud-piercing sacred palaces!

This place was the strongest sect in the Central Plains, ranking first in strength—the Three Saints Palace!

"Saint Wuya, Saint Wuxu, Saint Wuji, where are you?!"

A majestic voice resonated above the Three Saints Palace gates, scattering the nine layers of clouds in an instant!

You hypocrites of the Three Saints Palace, your Grandpa Cang Xuanzi, Sect Leader is here!

Today, he, Cang Xuanzi, Sect Leader, would thoroughly teach them a lesson on behalf of the entire White Tiger Heaven!

One against a hundred thousand!

First, he would beat them up, then go to White Tiger Heaven to kill two Demon Emperors to sate his craving!

In a flash, the Three Saints Palace gates slowly opened.

A ethereal and powerful aura swept out, clearly also from a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator!

From within the aura, a middle-aged man's displeased voice vaguely came: "Cang Xuanzi, Sect Leader, you've gone too far..."

"Ah!!! Cang Xuanzi, Sect Leader, how dare you!!"

"Don't hit a person's face—!"

...

The Immortal Sect members still didn't know that the first thing their esteemed Sect Master did after his strength surged was to go out and fight!

Looking at the hole in the roof, Meng Yun spread his hands, indicating his innocence.

As long as they didn't ask him for money to repair the roof, it was fine.

Cang Xuanzi, Sect Leader left, but a group of Peak Lords went crazy.

"I'll eat, give me a skewer!"

"Nephew, I want one too!"

"Brother Dongfang, give me a skewer too!"

Meng Yun casually tossed out the roasted meat, removing himself from the center of the dispute:

"Don't rush, don't rush, there's enough for everyone..."

The Peak Lord of Roasted Meat Peak, isn't this position stable!?

Normally, he would just roast meat, consume some Immortal Sect resources, increase his strength, and then go to Xuanwu Heaven to battle demon seeds!

[Your Roasted Meat Divine Skill has successfully gained high-level recognition, you have become the eleventh peak lord, Roasted Meat Peak Lord, of the Immortal Sect's Ten Peaks]

[A week has passed in the blink of an eye]

[The decay rate of your overnight roasted meat buff has been proven; the effect decreases by approximately 1% per day]

[This means that the rations you prepared for Shangguan Qing will, at most, become ordinary delicious food with no efficacy after a hundred days]

[You feel a sense of urgency; in such a world of life-and-death chaos, countless cultivators die every single moment]

[Is Shangguan Qing, who is only at the Nascent Soul Realm, doing alright?]

Ruyi was no longer staying on Ruyi Peak.

It was hard to imagine that the divine beast, rarely seen by Ruyi Peak disciples, was now sprawled ungracefully on Meng Yun's lap, crunching on spirit stones.

Crunchy!

Dragon Spirit pouted her small mouth, snuggling close to Meng Yun, eating her own roasted meat.

Today's Meng Yun roasted meat buff was a 100% increase in cultivation speed, lasting for one month.

It was still divided into two special versions: double critical hit and ten times critical hit.

The Immortal Sect's quota for Meng Yun, as the Roasted Meat Peak Lord, was to produce two thousand portions of roasted meat daily and contribute them unconditionally to the sect.

Of course, while it was said to be unconditional, the Immortal Sect would still reward Meng Yun with sect contribution points.

Ordinary roasted meat was 10 contribution points.

Special roasted meat ranged from 100 to 10,000 contribution points, depending on its effect.

Contribution points could be used to exchange for various treasures in the sect's treasury, from mortal items to Grand Ascension Stage magic treasures.

Meng Yun could freely dispose of any roasted meat exceeding the two thousand portions, and the sect would not stop him even if he sold it for money.

The Immortal Sect was eager for Meng Yun to work hard and arm the entire sect with his roasted meat buffs!

Given time, the Immortal Sect would definitely become the strongest sect in White Tiger Heaven, and even among the Three Thousand Worlds!

With the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace Fire's assistance, two thousand portions of roasted meat only took an hour.

Meng Yun held the Immortal Sect's Treasure Scroll, flipping through the sect's treasury inventory.

"I only have 580,000 contribution points...

I can't even afford a Tribulation Transcending Stage magic treasure..."

Looking at the Tribulation Transcending Stage magic treasures that cost tens of millions of contribution points, Meng Yun muttered softly.

He wondered if Shangguan Qing had properly worn that Flowing Cloud Soft Armor, which cost tens of millions of spirit stones.

It could withstand a full-power strike from a Body Integration Stage cultivator!

After Body Integration Stage was Tribulation Transcending Stage; every Tribulation Transcending Stage cultivator was an absolute top-tier force in this world!

The ten Peak Lords and three Hall Masters were currently at this level.

Except for him.

"Save it, do you think Tribulation Transcending Stage magic treasures are like cabbages grown in your backyard?" Dragon Spirit grumbled beside him.

Meng Yun didn't even bother to respond; after a few days of getting along, he had realized that this little girl always liked to talk back.

Especially when he was playing with Ruyi, Dragon Spirit's arrogance grew even more rampant.

Just how much did she like Ruyi!

"I've been meaning to ask, why is this immortal bodhi spring showing as sold out? Who used dozens of tons of spring water?" Meng Yun was a bit speechless.

He had never forgotten that he had to bring some spring water from this world back to Xu Yuan to prolong her life.

immortal bodhi spring, one liter for ten thousand contribution points.

To say it was expensive, for such a divine item, it didn't seem that expensive.

But dozens of tons were all gone; were these cultivators all water buffaloes?!

Hearing Meng Yun's questioning, Dragon Spirit uncharacteristically didn't talk back: "The immortal bodhi spring can sustain a person's last breath. Every time the Immortal Sect goes on an expedition to Xuanwu Heaven, they definitely bring several tons with them."

Dragon Spirit said nothing more.

Meng Yun fell silent upon hearing this.

No wonder he occasionally saw some injured and disabled cultivators when he was wandering around the Immortal Sect.

It turned out that the Immortal Sect had never ceased its campaigns against demon seeds over the years.

Being in the prosperous Central Plains, they could have lived a life of ease and comfort.

But the Immortal Sect still chose a path of aiding the world.

This path was the most difficult, but also the most secure.

He had indeed come to the right place by joining this Immortal Sect.

"That's still not right, though. The Immortal Sect's demand is so great, why is it suddenly sold out?" Meng Yun questioned.

Dragon Spirit looked at Ruyi, who was crunching on spirit stones in Meng Yun's arms: "Well, you'll have to ask it ~"

Ruyi looked up blankly: "Meow?"

What? Me?

"Meow, meow meow!" Ruyi began to defend herself.

Cang Xuanzi, Sect Leader said that this spring water helped it convert Arcane energy into spiritual energy, so he would give it some periodically.

"Then, do you still have any of this?"

"Meow meow ~"

Of course!

It's just cat bathwater, do you want some?

Meng Yun was speechless and immediately took Ruyi to Ruyi Peak.

He looked at the several-meter-square hot spring pool, utterly astonished.

What a waste of natural resources, how extravagant!

[You have taken one ton of immortal bodhi spring (Ruyi's Bathwater Version)]

[immortal bodhi spring. Immersing oneself in it can preserve one's soul, truly a superior item for prolonging life. Ruyi's aura has permeated it, and the spring water seems to have undergone a negligible change...]

Change?

What kind of change?

As long as he could successfully bring it back to the modern world and prolong Xu Yuan's life, that was all that mattered!

Now that one of the main quests was complete, there was only one remaining task:

That was to increase his strength and quickly go to Xuanwu Heaven to find Shangguan Qing!

Just then, several figures flew across the sky. Meng Yun looked up and saw that they were Peak Lords!

What?

What happened?

Meng Yun shouted to one person: "Peak Lord Ye, what major event has occurred?"

A middle-aged man in a green robe anxiously said: "The Sect Master went on an expedition to Xuanwu Heaven and suddenly disappeared; his whereabouts are still unknown!

The Grand Elder has emerged from seclusion and summoned everyone to the Deliberation Hall for a meeting!"
