I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?
Chapter Summary
Meng Shushu rolled his eyes, remarking on the eighteen sixth-grade spiritual medicines made from them as if it was a loss he could comment on. But since he owed his life to someone, a few more sixth-grade spiritual medicines didn't seem to be that significant. "Eventually, we found the essential spiritual medicine over at Yan country's Tianchui Mountain.
Meng Chong still said with some heartache.
He didn't have many pills in total.

"My friend, how did you provoke those people?
"Meng Chong asked curiously.
"They found me and offered me a generous reward to find a spiritual medicine treasure trove.
As a spiritual medicine scout, I've accepted many of these kinds of tasks, so I agreed straight away.
"Eventually, we found the essential spiritual medicine over at Yan country's Tianchui Mountain.
However, they wanted to control me, turning me into their puppet.
"Naturally, I didn't agree and seized an opportunity to escape.
"Meng Shushu gritted his teeth and seethed with anger.
"As a spiritual medicine scout, don't you have any powerful backers?
"Meng Chong asked curiously.
Meng Shushu said dispiritedly: "My ability to scout for spiritual medicine is hereditary.
My father died while exploring for spiritual medicine, and my grandfather passed away a few years ago while trying to save an old friend.
"Only I was left.
Although I'm a Grandmaster Martial Artist, the people in my family's connections saw me in trouble and immediately thought of making me join them, scouting for spiritual medicine for them.
"I, Meng Shushu am used to being free.
Why would I let others bind me?
Even when the Tianbao Pavilion hired me, I turned them down, let alone them.
"Whenever Meng Shushu mentioned this, he would grit his teeth and seethe with anger, hating those people intensely.
Meng Chong understood then.
He opened his mouth and said: "My friend, although you owe me a life, a storage bag and eighteen sixth-grade spiritual medicines, rest assured, I won't control you.
\\p>"You just need to remember that you owe me a storage bag, use this as a goal to strive for.
You are still free.
"Meng Shushu opened his mouth wide, but ultimately didn't swear.
Damn!
Why does this burly man have so many tricks up his sleeve?
Why did he take a liking to this guy back in Tie Mountain County?
Meng Shushu felt like crying but couldn't shed a tear.
However, upon thinking again, it was hard to say whether he could have turned the tables this time if he hadn't found Meng Chong.
It was a long journey to Tianchui Mountain in Yan country.
By carriage, it would take a month to reach.
Therefore, after two days of carriage riding, once Meng Shushu's wounds started healing, the two got up from the carriage, directly took off to the sky, and flew towards Tianchui Mountain.
The mountain was named Tianchui (Iron Hammer) because the mountain peak resembled a large iron hammer.
Sheer cliffs, ancient trees sparsely grown in between the crevices.
The protruding huge rocks looked like stone platforms.
On Tianchui Mountain, there were dozens of such platforms.
It seemed natural, but upon closer examination, traces of human effort could be seen.
At the peak of Tianchui Mountain, there were fist-sized cracks that could not fathom their depth.
On the mountainside, you could also see some small mossy holes.
At the foot of the east side, there was a dense cluster of tall trees.
After climbing several feet up the mountainside, a particularly sturdy ancient tree revealed a cave about one Zhang high and two Zhang deep behind it.
Large broken stone slabs were scattered around outside the cave, which used to be the door.
Black-robed men lurked above the trees around the cave.
Five in total!
All of them were Grandmaster Martial Artists.
Even farther from the cave, more black-robed men were hidden.
Two figures arrived outside Tianchui Mountain, none other than Meng Chong and Meng Shushu who had come all the long way.
"My friend, are you sure the spiritual medicine treasure trove is here?
"Meng Chong looked at Tianchui Mountain with a puzzled look.
Tianchui Mountain had little vegetation, and it was a large rocky mountain.
Except for a dense forest extending up several feet from the foot of the mountain, there were only a few trees on the whole mountain, giving off an air of desolation.
"Moreover, if the spiritual medicine is here, wouldn't they have already picked it?
"Meng Chong continued to ask.
"The treasure trove of spiritual medicine is inside the mountain.
There is a barren land there that is not easy to discover.
To enter, one needs a key.
"If someone tries to break in forcefully, it is possible.
However, the spiritual medicine could easily be damaged, and each sixth-grade spiritual medicine is of exceptional value.
"They wouldn't dare forcefully break in.
"Meng Shushu explained along the way.
Pointing to the dense forest, he said: "The entrance is there, but there is surely a Grandmaster Martial Artist guarding it.
""As long as you're sure there's spiritual medicine, it's fine.
Whatever Grandmaster Martial Artist is in my way, I'll kill them all.
"Meng Chong grasped the hilt of his blade.
"Let's go.
"Meng Chong headed straight for the forest.
Meng Shushu also concealed himself, leisurely following Meng Chong into the forest, his confidence boosted with Meng Chong by his side.
"Meng Shushu, you dare to walk right into our trap?
Hand over the key!
"As soon as the two entered the forest, five figures appeared, surrounding them.
Meng Chong held onto his blade's hilt and said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, this place is now mine.
Those who are sensible should leave, so as to avoid any unpleasantness!
"A wave of fierce energy surged from his body, exuding a faint golden light as he glared at the five black-robed men.
For some reason, he found these black-robed men somewhat familiar.
"Why would you risk staking your life in this muddy water?
Since you dared to, then be prepared to lose your life!
"One of the black-robed men said in a deep voice.
"Kill him!
"With a wave of his hand, a man in a black robe stepped forward, attacking Meng Chong.
"Heh!
Since you wish for death, I shall grant it to you!
"Meng Chong smirked.
With a flash of his blade, an oppressive presence immediately emerged, commanding the scene.
Meng Chong shimmered in a golden light, his formidable Amaterasu Golden Body was revealed and he attacked immediately with his Earth-Shattering Slash!
Pfft!
With one blow, he took the life of a Grandmaster.
His invincible aura swept across, disintegrating his opponent into ash!
"Charge!
"The remaining men in black were horrified.
They hastily united to attack.
Nevertheless, Meng Chong did not guard himself, slashing continuously, killing four Grandmasters in an instant!
Thump!
Meng Shushu was once again stunned, astonished by brutal prowess of Meng Chong at this moment.
"Those are done.
Let's go collect the Spiritual Medicine!
"After slaying five Grandmasters without even blinking, Meng Chong turned to Meng Shushu and called him.
"Okay!
"As Meng Shushu prepared to head for the caverns, his face suddenly changed as he looked up.
Boom!
The surrounding trees were crushed into dust in a second, creating a vacuum.
An aura akin to divine might descended.
Meng Chong's face changed, "A Great Grandmaster?
" He asked then wondered, "Something's wrong, feels a bit weaker?
""You're courting death!
"Three figures clad in black robes appeared in the sky, led by a man with an intimidating aura, like divine might manifesting.
Sensing the battle happening here, he hurried over, only to find all five Grandmasters who were supposed to watch over the place were dead!
Angered, he wondered, from where did Meng Shushu bring such powerful reinforcements!
With a wave of his hand, he struck down.
"Brother Meng, be careful!
It's a quasi-great grandmaster!
"Meng Shushu cried out in alarm.
Meng Chong's eyebrows lifted, "So it's only a quasi-great grandmaster, no wonder it felt weak.
""The half-cupped water dares to act haughty before me!
"Meng Chong's body inflated suddenly, his imposing aura growing even more terrifying.
It seemed as if wind and thunder surged around him.
His unbeatable aura with his blade stirred the surroundings, the light from the blade rushed upwards, charging directly at the quasi Great Grandmaster.
Although not a true Great Grandmaster, he was still immensely strong.
Meng Chong did not dare to underestimate him.
As the two powerhouses fought, Meng Shushu quickly retreated to the side, fearful of being affected, while the other two robed men tried to cross over and capture him.
But Meng Chong's unbeatable slash forced the quasi-great grandmaster back, and with a backhand, he slashed at one of the robed men!
"Oh no!
"The robed man let out a cry of alarm.
Pfft!
With one strike, he was immediately killed on the spot.
The other robed man turned ashen, hastily retreating in fear.
"Daring to be distracted while fighting me!
" The quasi-great grandmaster was burning with rage.
Taking advantage of Meng Chong's momentary distraction, he sent a punch rolling forth.
His terrifying force, akin to a mountain collapsing, oppressed Meng Chong.
Meng Chong punched back.
Booom!
In the end, he couldn't completely defend against the opponent's attack but weakened its force by sixty percent.
The remaining forty percent slammed into him.
The radiant Meng Chong merely trembled slightly, completely uninjured.
Such a paltry amount of power was still not enough to harm him.
The strength of Meng Chong's physical martial arts was displayed at this moment.
"Quasi-great grandmaster, so what?
Just that!
"With his eyes shining golden, Meng Chong raised his blade and slashed, launching consecutive earth-shattering slashes!
The man in the black robe was horrified.
Meng Chong's physical body was so terrifying.
With a ferocious look in his eyes, he pulled out a curved blade.
Like a terror-filled storm, his blade radiance poured down, intending to overwhelm Meng Chong.
