Chapter 261 Heaven’s Favor

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan landed in front of Grotto-Heaven Pavilion’s entrance. He saw the old steward welcoming him with a smile. “Lord Meng Chuan, please.”

With my flying speed, Master is still able to get the steward to welcome me ahead of time. He probably discovered me hundreds of kilometers away. Meng Chuan secretly marveled at his master’s means. He followed the old steward in. After passing the winding corridor, he arrived at a familiar garden that had a pavilion. In the pavilion, Qin Wu and Archean Mountain Lord were sitting there drinking tea and chatting. The old steward naturally took his leave. Meng Chuan walked over and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Master, Mountain Lord.”

“Junior Brother Meng, it’s rare for you to return to Archean Mountain,” said Archean Mountain Lord with a smile.

Meng Chuan muttered to himself. In the past ten years, I’ve returned several times. However, most of the time, I would leave after meeting Master once.

“Of course, he has important matters to attend to when he returns.” Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan and nodded in satisfaction. “Your physical mystic technique has already reached a new realm. If my senses are correct, you have also successfully refined that wisp of Origins Returning baneful aura.” “I can’t hide anything from you, Master,” said Meng Chuan immediately. In front of his master, he had perfectly converged aura. However, he couldn’t hide his Essence Soul, body, and baneful aura from his Master’s eyes. Archean Mountain Lord asked in puzzlement, “Origins Returning baneful aura? What kind of baneful aura is this?”

“It’s a baneful aura stored in Treasury A3. Our world doesn’t produce such baneful aura. It was obtained by an ancestor of Archean Mountain in another world. It’s extremely precious, and only our Archean Mountain possesses it,” Qin Wu simply explained. “Treasury A3?” Archean Mountain Lord nodded slightly.

Although he was the mountain lord, Archean Mountain was the most ancient sect. There were too many secrets that only Supremacies were qualified to know. For example, Archean Mountain Lord didn’t have the right to the contents of the sect’s A-class treasuries. Only Creation Supremacies were qualified to know about the contents and open them.

Qin Wu waved his hand.

Six large bronze calabashes immediately appeared in the garden beside him. Qin Wu said, “In here are two cubes of baneful aura. I believe it’s enough for your cultivation. Archean Mountain only has five cubes of this baneful aura. You took nearly half of it… In the future, only one junior will be able to master it.”

Meng Chuan smiled. “I believe that juniors will have their own opportunities. Perhaps, they will encounter better baneful auras.” With that said, Meng Chuan waved his hand and stored the six bronze calabashes into his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead.

Huh? Archean Mountain Lord’s pupils constricted when he saw Meng Chuan wave his hand to collect the treasures.

One needed to place items inside storage bags.

To collect treasures with a wave of his hand? A grotto-heaven treasure?

“These two cubes of Origins Returning baneful aura will cost 200 million credits,” said Qin Wu. “You do not have enough credits. I’ll deduct your 132 million credits first. You still owe 68 million credits.”

He can buy things on credit? Archean Mountain Lord could only mutter inwardly when he saw this. One usually needed enough credits to exchange for treasures. Nobody took the treasures first and made up for the credit debt later. Also, a grotto-heaven treasure was extremely valuable. It was nearly impossible to obtain them with credits. Could it be that Meng Chuan obtained one by luck? Archean Mountain Lord didn’t ask further.

Meng Chuan obediently agreed. “I owe 68 million credits.” With his electromagnetic domain’s expanded range, Meng Chuan wasn’t worried about his debt.

“Since you’ve taken the baneful aura, is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, you may return.” Qin Wu continued drinking his tea.

“I have something to report,” said Meng Chuan.

“Speak.” Qin Wu put down his teacup, picked up the teapot beside him, and poured the tea leisurely.

“I have an electromagnetic domain that can penetrate underground,” said Meng Chuan respectfully. “I have a range of 1.5 kilometers underground.”

Qin Wu looked up at Meng Chuan. His pupils dilated as he stared blankly at Meng Chuan.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Tea poured from the spout of the teapot. The teacup quickly filled up, and tea spilled all over, flowing across the table. His underground reconnaissance range is 1.5 kilometers? King White Treasure can only probe 2.5 kilometers underground. The area is smaller, but Meng Chuan is several times faster than King White Treasure. Overall, Meng Chuan’s underground reconnaissance efficiency is probably no less than King White Treasure’s. Qin Wu had a wealth of experience when it came to various situations. At that moment, he quickly processed Meng Chuan’s information and began thinking excitedly.

“Master, Master?” A voice rang out, interrupting Qin Wu’s thoughts.

Huh? Qin Wu immediately stopped thinking.

“The tea is overflowing,” reminded Meng Chuan.

Qin Wu lowered his head and immediately raised the teapot’s spout. He placed the teapot to the side and smiled as he looked at the tea that spilled out. “Well spilled! Well spilled! Hahaha, hahaha… I have cultivated to the Creation realm and have everything under control. However, I’m very happy to spill the tea this time.”

“Meng Chuan, you mentioned an electromagnetic domain? Is it a divine power that you obtained from cultivating the physical mystic technique?” asked Qin Wu. “I remember that your underground reconnaissance range was only a quarter-kilometer when you used this divine power against Greater Demon Monarch Blackrock.”

Archean Mountain had a detailed dossier, and Blackrock had explained everything. Therefore, Qin Wu guessed the reason when Meng Chuan said that his electromagnetic domain had an underground range of 1.5 kilometers around him.

“That’s right. After breaking through, the strength of my divine power increased drastically.” Meng Chuan nodded.

Qin Wu immediately nodded in delight. “Good, good, good!” He said “good” thrice, which showed how excited he was.

“Junior Brother Meng, are you saying that…” Archean Mountain Lord couldn’t help but say, “You have an underground reconnaissance range of 1.5 kilometers?” “Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.

“Have you already tested it?” asked Archean Mountain Lord immediately. “Only King White Treasure’s reconnaissance technique has such an extensive range underground. You are only a Marquis Godfiend, but your range is only slightly smaller than his? Are you sure?”

Meng Chuan said, “I’ve experimented on the way to Archean Mountain several times. There’s no mistake.”

“This… This…” Archean Mountain Lord couldn’t believe it.

“The heavens have shown pity on us humans,” said Qin Wu with a sigh. “To give birth to King White Treasure, and now there’s Meng Chuan!”

“Junior Brother Meng is several times faster than King White Treasure. Even if his range is smaller, his reconnaissance efficiency might not be inferior to King White Treasure’s.” Archean Mountain Lord was extremely excited. “The heavens are pitying us. They pity us humans.”

King White Treasure and Meng Chuan would influence the war between humans and demons hugely. They hunted down the demons and, alone, they could match a sect! There were only three sects in the world. It was obvious how important the two were. “From today onwards, I’ll arrange for other Regis Godfiends to reinforce the six states. You will be like King White Treasure. All you need to do is carry out underground reconnaissance for a few hours a day,” said Qin Wu as he looked at Meng Chuan. “Also, I’ll give you Origins Returning baneful aura and the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead for free.”

“No.” Meng Chuan said immediately, “Those two treasures are worth 700 million credits. When I do underground reconnaissance, I will naturally obtain spoils of war. Just slowly deduct the owed credit from whatever the spoils of war will be worth. The sect has its rules.”

“Junior Brother Meng, just take it.” Archean Mountain Lord’s beard was trembling as he said excitedly, “It’s just 700 million credits! Credits are bestowed on a person whenever they take up a position in the sect. Your current position… is Archean Mountain’s top Patroller. Nobody can replace you. Nobody will say a word about us bestowing 700 million credits to you. If we were to invite King White treasure to our Great Zhou Dynasty to carry out underground reconnaissance, 700 million credits will probably not even give us him for a year!”
