Atlas of Heaven and Earth

After appearing on the interface, the snake eye retreated rapidly, and then a triangular area appeared around the snake eye, with a selection category at each corner.

At the same time, there was a rustling sound, reminiscent of a slippery snake body crawling in a cave.

Chen Chuan looked at it; the very center was the Sect Introduction, with Purchasing Items and Category Query on the left and right sides.

The classification was quite clear. He first checked the Sect Introduction, which contained a general description of the Secret Serpent Cult.

The Secret Serpent Cult was founded in old times. After entering the new era, it quickly embraced new things, abandoned old traditions, and actively integrated into the upper echelons of power.

As such, it was not branded as a cult like many old-fashioned sects. Even if those sects managed to survive, they could only hide in dark corners.

The Secret Serpent Cult was not a tightly knit sect; its structure was very loose. It didn't have many significant restrictions on believers outside the core. Nowadays, it was more like a company in the guise of a sect.

Ordinary people only needed to register and pay a sum of money each year to become a member of the sect. The difference was that they could call themselves members of the Secret Serpent Cult and buy cheaper services from the Secret Serpent Cult.

Because the Secret Serpent Cult only provided an internal trading platform for most peripheral members, without mandatory requirements or restrictions, other members wouldn't stand up for them in case of trouble, unless they were willing to pay, of course.

There were many things inside, in addition to the self-developed Implants sold publicly, there were also private Martial Combat instruction and training, and even the basic enhancement services he was interested in were available.

However, the prices were equally very expensive, even more expensive than the teaching courses provided within the Wuyi Academy, except that it included some special services from the Secret Serpent Cult.

The difference was that the Secret Serpent Cult not only accepted monetary payments but also accepted other forms of payment, such as agreeing to join the Secret Serpent Cult's Implant experiments or participating in some of the Secret Serpent Cult's service projects, completing some of the Secret Serpent Cult's Commissions.

He tried to check it, but found that to see the specific content, he needed to pay a deposit first and talk in detail with the contact person. It was not directly listed outside, so he skipped it for the time being.

As he continued to scroll down, he discovered that the Secret Serpent Cult had been buying some special items. If he could collect these things, the Secret Serpent Cult could pay money or fulfill one of its services. After this, a series of items were listed.

Since nothing was labeled and there was only one picture, Chen Chuan couldn't tell what they were, and could only see that some looked like special Mutated Tissue. However, when he saw one of the items, his gaze couldn't help but pause.

Because he had seen this thing before.

It was a pile of rubble-like things, dark red in color with a slight light. If he remembered correctly, he and Ren Xiaotian had taken this thing when they first went to Jiao Mountain.

Even the Secret Serpent Cult was buying this thing, which meant its value was greater than he had imagined. However, the amount required to satisfy a service was also quite large.

He thought about it, and decided to list this as an alternative project.

After looking at the services one by one, he finally found a special category: the Secret Serpent Cult was recruiting Martial Artists to participate in a project, and the reward was payment or conversion into various services.

He looked at the specifics. The Secret Serpent Cult had its own biological breeding ground and was now breeding a special-purpose water snake, requiring Martial Artists to spend some time with it. It also prompted that participating in this project was indeed very dangerous and required signing a disclaimer in advance.

After reading the specific content, he thought about it and decided to note this down as an alternative project as well.

After browsing everything, he exited from here. Although he didn't get what he wanted, it wasn't without gains, and even if he didn't choose anything, he could use it as an alternative information platform.

Although he had set Third Limit as his target, he didn't think he needed to be too impatient. The more anxious he was at this time, the worse he would do. Some situations needed to wait until the start of school to know for sure.

As for Instructor Wu, he thought for a moment and sent him a reply, saying: Instructor Wu, thank you for telling me this, I am very grateful. However, after careful consideration, I feel that I am not suitable for learning your Skills, so I can only decline your kindness.

After separating from Chen Chuan, Instructor Wu returned to his residence, and he was very satisfied with his previous performance.

He understood these students too well. A commoner student from another place, after suddenly arriving in Central City, would inevitably be strongly impacted and shocked by these things he had never seen before.

But what followed was the invisible boundary that was everywhere in Central City, as well as the dauntingly expensive services, which would inevitably make them feel confused and embarrassed.

Even though the student he saw today was calm and mature on the surface, he must be uneasy in his heart. In addition, the half-truthful words he said today would definitely maximize his anxiety, and he would take the initiative to contact him soon.

Just as he was changing clothes, he suddenly received a notification in Boundary Token that someone was contacting him. He couldn't help but smile as he looked at the contact message. Immediately, his expression changed drastically, the muscles on his face suddenly became ferocious, and his fingers trembled.

He couldn't understand why, even though he had said everything to that extent, the student still chose to decline his kindness. Was he not afraid of being targeted by interested parties later? Or was he planning to take that path? Or did the student have some unexpected background?

He couldn't figure it out, but he had finally found such a suitable target, and he would never give up.

Since there was no way to say it, then that was the only way.

His face quickly became peaceful again. He turned his eyes to the calendar. There were still ten days before the start of school. He still had time. He slowly said, "You will come back to the right path."

In the next few days, Chen Chuan was training in the dormitory.

Wu Bei was sorting out the data from the Golden Shrimp Team Commission. Because the Golden Shrimp Team never created separate files for unusual requests, but mixed them with other Commissions, it would take some time to re-sort them.

However, he wasn't planning to take the next Commission so quickly. The Golden Shrimp Commission team had just disappeared, and someone immediately came up to seamlessly connect with unusual requests. Even without evidence, discerning people could see the relationship between the two, so he decided to wait a while before talking about it.

After mid-month, on a holiday, he had another phone call with his family. He originally thought about contacting Cheng Zitong as well, but he didn't expect that before he could call, Cheng Zitong called him first.

"Little Chuan, how is it? Have you been living in Central City for a few days? Are you used to it?"

Chen Chuan replied, "There's nothing I'm not used to. It's just that the prices in Central City are a bit expensive, and it seems like every course in the school needs to be purchased. The expenses in the future may not be small."

Cheng Zitong said, "That's right, so your teacher told you to save more money, otherwise it may not be enough. If there's a gap, tell your teacher, and your teacher will find a way for you."

Chen Chuan said, "Thank you, teacher." He thought for a moment, and then said, "It's just that I've heard some things. The situation in the Main Academy seems to be a bit complicated."

"Your teacher also knows a little about the Main Academy's affairs." Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "Little Chuan, don't worry, and don't listen to those rumors outside. Stay calm and wait until the start of school to talk about everything."

Chen Chuan's heart moved slightly. He nodded and said, "Teacher, I understand."

"Yes, your teacher is relieved about you. Remember to call your teacher if anything happens."

"Okay, teacher."

After Chen Chuan hung up the phone, he went back to conduct today's Martial Combat Cultivation. The day passed like this. After eating dinner, he was preparing to go to Marginal Channel to watch the news when a message suddenly came on the contact interface. He found that it was Instructor Wu who sent it again.

He thought for a moment, connected the contact, and asked, "Instructor Wu, what's the matter?"

Instructor Wu said, "Student Chen, I want to see you again."

Chen Chuan said, "Sorry, Instructor Wu, I have already made it very clear to you that I do not intend to follow you to learn your Martial Combat Skills."

"No, it's not for that."

Instructor Wu's tone was a bit low, "I respect your choice, but I'm preparing to leave the Academy when school starts, and some things are useless to keep, so I want to entrust them to you.

Some are Drugs that you students need, as well as my course summaries and some experience insights over the years. These things are my hard work. Although you don't plan to cultivate what I prepared for you, I think you are the most promising student I have ever seen, and these things may be of some use to you."

Chen Chuan was silent for a while before saying, "Teacher, where can I meet you?"

"Tonight at eight o'clock, I'll send you the address. Teacher hopes you can come."

"Okay, I'll come."

After Chen Chuan ended the contact, his mind turned. He had seen the Data. This Instructor Wu was a Third Limit Martial Artist. Even if he couldn't stay in the school, he would never be as miserable as he said.

And that location...

He walked to the map on the desk, looked at the address Instructor Wu had sent, and at the same time contacted Wu Bei, "Brother Wu, can you check this place for me?"

Wu Bei responded readily, "No problem."

Before long, Wu Bei sent him the terrain map of that place. It was an open space located on the edge of Flourishing Victory District, surrounded by desolation, with almost no residences. There was only a two-story wooden structure house on a small hill, and the location Instructor Wu gave was there.

At the first glance of this place, Chen Chuan had a intuition that Instructor Wu wanted to attack him. He didn't know where this idea came from, and he didn't know what reason the other party had to do this, but he just had this feeling.

However, he was prepared to go to the appointment.

Because if it was as he felt, if he didn't go this time, and Instructor Wu recognized him, then he would definitely find other ways to target him. It would be extremely difficult to deal with a Third Limit person who harbored ill intentions in secret. Instead of avoiding it, it would be better to choose to face it directly.

Chen Chuan looked at the Snow Emperor Blade on the shelf. It was not difficult to kill Jing Li and those people last time, and it was still a little short of the twenty-four-hour Merge.

This time, maybe he could use this to achieve the target.
