Jun Yu Body Refining Diagram

Meng Qingshan couldn't help but compare the woman to his cousin, Li Qingzhu.

But quickly, he cast that thought aside.

His cousin was the first person he met when he arrived in this world, and she was the relative he cherished most.

In terms of this feeling alone, no woman in the world could compare.

With this thought, Meng Qingshan stopped looking at her and simply said, "I am a coarse man, it doesn't matter if I smile!"

"Young Hero Meng, I didn't mean it like that!" An Ning'er quickly waved her hands and denied, "I just find you straightforward and honest, which I find amusing. There's no disrespect intended. In this Jianghu, there are very few people as carefree and unrestrained as you, who aren't burdened by worldly affairs."

An Ning'er's words carried a hint of sincerity.

Looking at her bright eyes, Meng Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "County Princess Yun'an, you flatter me. I am merely a wanderer of the Jianghu, accustomed to sleeping under the stars and eating simple meals. To be treated to such a feast today is already overwhelming, how could I possibly care about such things."

Although she had long known Meng Qingshan was not narrow-minded, hearing his words still put An Ning'er at ease.

She immediately raised her cup and said with a smile, "Young Hero Meng, you are Ning'er's savior. Calling me County Princess Yun'an is too formal. From now on, just call me Ning'er!"

Meng Qingshan nodded, understanding her special identity, and said, "Alright, Miss Ning'er, then don't keep calling me Young Hero Meng. Just call me Meng Qingshan!"

With that, Meng Qingshan drained the wine in his cup.

For a time, everyone clinked their cups, and Meng Qingshan accepted every offer.

After three rounds of drinks and several dishes, everyone was a little tipsy.

Meng Qingshan immediately used his drunken state as an excuse to get up, leave the banquet, and return to his room to carefully sort through his gains from the day.

The biggest gains today were undoubtedly the "Divine Machine Sleeve Crossbow" found in the cave and the black jade pendant.

Meng Qingshan hadn't had time to examine the "Divine Machine Sleeve Crossbow" since he got it.

Now, by the dim light of the candle, he began to study it carefully.

Item: Divine Machine Sleeve Crossbow

Description: It is rumored that this crossbow is also known as the "Hate Heaven Small Crossbow." It is small, only half a palm wide, and is an exquisite mechanical crossbow ingeniously crafted by the renowned "Great Hero of Shenzhou," Xiao Tianfang. This crossbow conceals five armor-piercing divine arrows, possessing unparalleled power. Countless martial arts experts have met their end under its might, striking fear into the hearts of all who hear of it.

Effect: Equip this crossbow. Hitting a target within a hundred paces has a very high chance of a one-hit kill.

Seeing the attribute panel of this sleeve crossbow, Meng Qingshan examined it further and was surprised to find that it was a repeating crossbow, capable of firing five bolts consecutively.

However, the material of the bolts was quite special, small and exquisite, clearly not something easily replicated.

Would he have to retrieve each bolt one by one after using them?

Thinking of this, Meng Qingshan couldn't help but scratch his head.

He couldn't help but recall the description in the weapon's effect column, "has a very high chance of a one-hit kill," and thought to himself, "If I had used this against Wang Ruozhi today, wouldn't it have saved a lot of fighting and trouble?"

Shaking his head, Meng Qingshan stopped these useless fantasies.

He then installed the sleeve crossbow onto his wrist, concealing it with his sleeve.

He planned to use it in future battles, when facing a critical moment against an opponent, to employ it unexpectedly and turn it into a powerful trump card.

Besides these two treasures, he also gained considerable Cultivation from killing Murong Shaobai and the other men in black today.

Opening his character panel, he saw that his Cultivation column now had 53,700 points.

He had almost completely depleted his previously accumulated Cultivation in the cave beneath the Dragon Gate Waterfall.

Seeing this, Meng Qingshan couldn't help but rejoice inwardly; Wang Ruozhi and his group had come at the perfect time today.

He lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and with a thought, opened his martial arts compendium, focusing on the Ling Shu Atlas.

It was known that the Ling Shu Atlas contained profound mysteries, with twelve divine and demonic reliefs.

Each relief represented a yellow-grade body refining technique, its preciousness self-evident.

At this moment, Meng Qingshan stood at a crossroads, preparing to choose one of these twelve divine and demonic reliefs to cultivate.

After some comparison, he finally made his decision.

He chose the 'Jun Yu Body Refining Diagram,' one of the twelve divine and demonic reliefs!

Jun Yu was one of the six gods in Taoism, with a unique appearance: a human body with a snake's tail, eight hands and eight feet, a sturdy stone armor on his chest, holding various weapons in each of his eight hands, and stepping on a dark cloud sea. His imposing aura was like a war god emerging from ancient chaos, inspiring awe and fear.

The main reason Meng Qingshan chose this diagram was because the Meridians cultivated by this technique were the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian among the three Yang Meridians of the foot. He wanted to see if cultivating this divine and demonic relief diagram could activate the Yintang Acupoint and unlock the "Spiritual Perception" skill.

With this thought, Meng Qingshan's mind drifted back to the battle today.
