Chapter 484 - 445: Magnetic Field Diversification! Eighteen Arhats! Not Allowed in Principle...
His national mission had already been completed, and the special battle achievements had been credited.Of course, the Celestial Tear Gold was also handed over...
He went to the police station this time, first, to summarize the conclusion of the entire event.
He was the lead officer for this mission, and even if he just sat there without speaking, he had to be present as part of the backdrop...
Secondly, he planned to ask the chief.
About the matter he asked him to consult...
Although the Three Flower Detector in Great Chu has not been officially released yet.
But since the Ancient Martial Era, it has been passed on within the Buddhist Sect that there are five levels of spiritual power roots: "Sand, Cyan Stone, Profound Iron, Amber, and Glazed".
In Meng Chuan’s case, the innate conditions are somewhat lacking.
Previously, with the help of the Great Brahma before its death, it only improved from sand to cyan stone.
And a small piece of Celestial Tear Gold, the size of a fingernail, could significantly enhance the Cyan Stone Foundation.
The piece he obtained was equivalent to four or five fingernails!
If only he could get his hands on it...
Not to mention advancing to the Profound Iron Foundation; the result might not be that exaggerated.
However, it would definitely improve his Cyan Stone Foundation to emit a metallic luster.
Thus becoming more solid, it could resist mental attacks better, absolutely no problem.
But... precisely because its value is too high.
Meng Chuan had little confidence in whether the country would "make an exception."
The value of this piece of Celestial Tear Gold is at least over a thousand.
The unit is special battle achievement points.
If converted to money, it might be worth billions...
Even if he could take this Celestial Tear Gold, the cost would probably be significant.
"Let’s go to the police station first. If there’s a chance to fight for it, even if it means contacting Lu Zhenshou, I will."
Even if it’s something else, even if it’s a Tier Four True Martial Armor.
He could pass by it with a laugh, without the slightest bit of regret.
But this particular item is something real that could fill his own shortcomings.
Meng Chuan genuinely did not want to let go...
Of course, if there is absolutely no chance or the price is too high, Meng Chuan won’t insist.
If he can’t hold onto the sand, he might as well let it go...
...
Inside the police station.
Meng Chuan first followed the others to complete the follow-up report on Wang Jian’s case.
He was contemplating, what if Captain Hou Zhibin found the statue in Wang Jian’s house?
What would happen?
Would the Grandmaster Chief explain to him about the temple and the demon-contaminated statues of Immortals and Buddhas?
It was only at this moment that he realized he had worried too much.
Wang Jian’s "level" or position within the Demon Path.
And what he did was still far from enough to warrant the care of a conceptual Celestial Demon.
Without the manifestation of incense power, the Statue of Faith is merely a dead thing, and also a self-concealing means.
He casually glanced at the interrogation report of Wang Jian.
The interrogation experts are indeed formidable; this old fellow revealed everything, even what happened in kindergarten...
Why Wang Jian fell into the Demon Path.
In simple terms, it was still out of "greed."
The position he held, coupled with his martial arts cultivation.
Having grown bored of the glamorous world, he sought after immortality.
Meng Chuan chuckled to himself, even the Seven Limits Martial Arts Great Saints couldn’t achieve that, so how could practicing demon arts do it?
There’s no such easy thing.
Ever since he first encountered the [Outer Heaven].
Wang Jian had been possessed.
After reading it, Meng Chuan gained a further understanding of Outer Heaven, an unfamiliar Demon Path organization.
They could rank alongside Demon Summoning Hall and Black Water, two major scourges.
These three large pests of Great Chu naturally had their unsettling traits.
Demon Summoning Hall colludes with Celestial Demons, Black Water kills and trades lives.
Outer Heaven, however, is best at seduction.
They don’t wish to start from scratch to cultivate "demon path rookies."
Instead, they focus on digging from the ranks of the Great Chu Martial Arts Family, leading people towards "evil".
This organization is the most mysterious, holding many ancient demon skills in its possession.
Its power follows an elite route, preferring quality over quantity.
Although it sounds impressive, to Celestial King Venerable level experts.
It’s still just a fly hidden a little deeper, aside from being a nuisance; it is not even worth a hair of a Celestial Demon.
Meng Chuan shook hands to say goodbye to those who carried out the task with him, then went upstairs to the chief’s office.
"Special Agent Meng, I hope we’ll have a chance to cooperate again."
Hou Zhibin stood at the door of the conference room, smiled, and pointed the way for Meng Chuan.
For police station personnel executing tasks, all they gain are [Merit Points].
To redeem resources from the internal honor Armory of the police station, Meng Chuan previously benefited greatly from this.
The rewards for this mission were bountiful, and Hou Zhibin gained many merit points.
Most crucially, he barely did anything.
Just sealed off Wang Jian’s house and brought back his relatives, with not a single battle fought...
He initially felt guilty and wanted to transfer half of his merit points to Meng Chuan.
But the other party refused, so he had to give up.
However, if there’s a next time, he still wishes to act with Meng Chuan.
The sensation of having pies fall from the sky is indeed exhilarating...
Meng Chuan responded with a smile:
"Certainly."
The reason he didn’t take Hou Zhibin’s merit points was due to the change in his status.
Having left school, he was no longer the social Martial Arts family he was before.
Instead, it was more like a special envoy of Great Chu from a "Jinyiwei," "Sticky Pole Division," or a member of the "Dragon Group."
During and after the task, as a national talent, his every word and action represents Great Chu.
If a precedent is set from him, then other national talents might act similarly in the future.
It could even escalate into bribery...
Meng Chuan speculated that there probably wouldn’t be any good outcome for him...
...
Top floor, Chief’s office.
The "Soul-Chasing Sabre, Xu Jinqiu" was squinting and dozing off, thinking about Wang Jian’s matter.
This person had colluded with foreign forces years ago.
Introduced by someone, he joined the "Outer Heaven" earlier this year.
From Wang Jian’s words, they excavated quite a bit about this Demon Path organization.
"A branch of Outer Heaven, hidden in the mountains outside my Jiuyan City.
And Rast Company, who gave you the guts to incite the head of a national company of Great Chu..."
Xu Jinqiu’s mind was set on killing intent.
Recently, Great Chu has been concentrating power to suppress the Demon Nest, truly letting these pests have a field day.
Next, he would let these people understand why his martial title is called the "Soul-Chasing Sabre"...
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Xu Jinqiu slightly hooked his finger, transforming his true essence into an invisible hand to open the door.
Sensing who the visitor was, the cold expression on his face gradually faded, and a smile appeared.
When Meng Chuan entered, he noticed the residual momentum near the desk that Xu Jinqiu hadn’t completely retracted.
The remaining dark green aura was like the tail of a swimming dragon.
It was fully solidified, completely different from his own Martial Arts Momentum.
The opponent’s magnetic field scene could condense into reality and was fully revealed.
This miraculous sight could be seen by ordinary people with the naked eye.
Xu Jinqiu knew what Meng Chuan was thinking. He twitched his brow, gathering the last bit of momentum back into his body.
"This is a [Diversification of Magnetic Fields] that only a Grandmaster can achieve. It combines the wonders of the true essence on the foundation of Dharma Images or Intentions, a more advanced and powerful method."
Meng Chuan nodded in agreement; such a method was indeed extremely powerful.
No wonder in the Ancient Martial Era, people called martial artists Land Immortals.
And Martial Arts Grandmasters were the "True Immortals in the world, Human Martial Saints."
Using a magnetic field, they could trigger an "extraordinary scene" in the eyes of ordinary people.
The mirage was splendid, truly a means of immortals.
At the same time, it seemed like the principle of normal Martial Arts Grandmasters flying was also related to [Diversification of Magnetic Fields].
It was a mutation of Martial Arts Momentum that only emerged after breaking the four directions.
However, at his third major limit, he could already ride clouds and mist.
The specific principle would be learned from his master in due time.
Thinking of this, he remembered he had to ask his master for an address these days.
The centennial snow lotus was about to be shipped, and the ace courier of All-Pass had even gotten their Japan visa...
Snapping back to reality, he chatted with Xu Jinqiu for a while about the matter of the Demon-contaminated Statue in Wang Jian’s house.
The number of Demon Nests was increasing, Celestial Demons were rampant, and other Demon Path forces besides the Demon Summoning Hall were also in contact with them.
The "Bag Arhat" statue in Wang Jian’s house was evidence of collaboration between Outer Heaven and Celestial Demons. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novelhall.com
Xu Jinqiu said:
"Bag Arhat, one of the eighteen incense Arhats of the Buddhist Sect, and add to that, recently, ’Sitting Deer Arhat’ was also confirmed to be demon-contaminated.
Thus, the eighteen Arhats, Huanxi, Jingsi, and others, all have a huge possibility of contamination, making it inevitable for a reform of the Martial Shrine.
Jindi’s ’Shouzi Temple’ holds the core incense inheritance of them. Due to the significant number of deities involved, I estimate a large portion of subsequent task systems will revolve around reforming Shouzi Temple and the eighteen Arhats.
If interested, you can first go to Jindi and wait. Strike first by choosing the ones more suitable for you to undertake."
Meng Chuan nodded in gratitude, indicating that he would go check it out when he had time.
But even so, it would be after his visit to Wudang and Shaolin.
Things have priorities, and Shouzi Temple does not lack just one person like him.
If there were any unfinished tasks once his matters were settled, he would still have a chance to gain some special combat merits from it and make a trip.
...
Finally, Meng Chuan chatted with Chief Xu for half the day.
He almost became anxious, and the other finally spoke of what he was most concerned about.
Xu Jinqiu was secretly laughing in his heart.
This kid seemed calm and composed, just trying to tease him to see him eager like a monkey...
Snapping back to reality, Xu Jinqiu said solemnly:
"Immortal Tears Gold is a state-controlled Martial Arts resource, and Wang Jian’s actions are also considered hoarding state property.
In principle, it definitely cannot be given to you..."
Meng Chuan knew at this point, that it was all secured.
In principle impossible meant, in reality, it was possible...
If Xu Jinqiu came and said "in principle possible,"
Then it would be impossible...
Meng Chuan laughed a few times, seemingly responding to the other, but actually not knowing what to say...
He continued listening to the other say:
"In view of your perfect performance during this mission, this matter of yours has reached higher levels.
Lu Ang Zhenshou specially approved you for a large piece of Immortal Tears Gold, which you can purchase at half-price special combat merits or exchange for five billion in cash. It’s up to you."
Meng Chuan was overjoyed in his heart. Although he couldn’t get it for free, it was still good.
As for combat merits or cash, is there even a question?
Purchasing at half price would still cost a few hundred great merits, of which he had none.
Even if he did, his Spiritual Foundation was sorely lacking; getting some Immortal Tears Gold would be much more satisfying.
His master’s Immortal Lotus also required special combat merits for exchange, along with the unique storage artifact he yearned for, and more.
He was severely short of special combat merits, every single one needed to be saved and meticulously calculated.
Therefore, Meng Chuan did not hesitate any longer and thanked sincerely:
"Thank you for the country’s nurturing, and thanks to Chief Xu and Lu Zhenshou, I choose cash."
