Chapter 43: The Difficult Cultivation of Immortal Techniques, An Easy Task

  "Wow, it seems that the cultivation of Xian techniques is indeed not just for show. With my current body, I can barely sense the energy of nature, but at least I can absorb some of it." It has to be said that cultivating Xian techniques is as difficult as in Naruto, and now Meng Ling's control over the mixed yuan divine power is several levels stronger than Chakra. When balancing his spiritual power, mixed yuan divine power, and natural power all at once, Meng Ling can be said to have no spare mental energy left to do anything else.

  "No wonder they say that when refining Xiantu, one cannot move. It turns out that it's because I originally didn't have any remaining spiritual energy to make myself move." After waking up, Meng Leng looked a bit disheartened.

  "Right, Sister Sally, how long have I been cultivating?" Meng Ling asked towards the sky.

  "It's been about two hours, fortunately you weren't cultivating divine techniques just now, otherwise the time outside would have passed very quickly if you were cultivating outside the Offering Tower." Sally's voice slowly sounded.

  "That is to say, in the real world, it should already be twelve o'clock. It seems that I can no longer continue my cultivation. So, Sally sister, Carmel sister, I'll take my leave first. Goodbye." After saying goodbye, a thought flashed through Meng's mind, and his soul once again left the spiritual world and returned to his body.

  "Hmm... let's go fill our stomachs at a ramen shop first." Meng Ling stood up from where she was, stretched her body for a bit, and after a series of creaking sounds, she slowly walked out of her room.

  At one o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Ling arrived at the gathering place - the third training ground after finishing three bowls of special ramen.

  "Meng Ling, come earlier next time, everyone is waiting for you." Meng Ling had just walked near her own team when she heard the voice of Tian Cang's captain.

  "Oh, I see." Meng Ling glanced around and found that she was indeed the last one to arrive. Although she wasn't late, Meng Ling didn't like keeping people waiting, so she didn't argue back.

  "Alright, now let's start our task for today. First of all, we need to deal with the garbage accumulated in the river outside the village of Mokuha." Captain Ooya took out a scroll from his body and unfolded it with both hands, and in front of the eyes of Meng Ling and the others, three bamboo baskets and three tools similar to fire tongs appeared.

  "So everyone just follow me, it seems like today's mission is done." The captain of the Hidden Heaven said and started walking towards the outer river of Konohagakure.

  "This is terrible, if I have to do this kind of task... " Meng Ling looked at her own luggage and found that her bathrobe-style kimono was not very convenient for getting in the water. After all, Meng Ling didn't want to get her kimono dirty. In that case, she had no choice but to wash it herself.

  "But if I could walk on water, I wouldn't have to worry about this anymore." Meng Ling thought to herself as she followed her companions who had already started walking towards the river.

  "Traveling on water? Alright, let's just consider this a training exercise for now. After all, I'm still not very familiar with controlling the Mixed Origin Power." As he thought about it, Meng suddenly realized that these D-rank missions carried out by the genin from Konohagakure were actually opportunities for new genin to train themselves.

  Before long, Meng Ling and the others followed the footsteps of the Tian Cang team leader to the outer river of Konoha Village. They looked at the clear water in the river and found that it was clean and tidy, and it was really hard to find a bit of garbage.

  "Tian Cang team leader, must this kind of river also be cleaned up?" Meng Ling was somewhat perplexed.

  "It's certainly not needed here, but downstream you'd better not say it's disgusting." Tian Cang team leader laughed.

  Five minutes later...

  "Ugh……" At this time, Meng Ling was vomiting vigorously beside a withered big tree. She really couldn't imagine that the once very reserved boy 'she' used to be would see such a magnificent scene today.

  Actually, the downstream river water is also very clear, but there are some scattered cans and a series of objects known as "white garbage" on the earth.

  But why did Meng Ling feel nauseous? The reason is very simple, because not far from this clear river is the village of Muye's total septic tank. That 'fragrance wafting ten miles' feeling Meng Ling estimated would never be forgotten in her lifetime.

  "What the Captain of the Heavenly Treasury said is indeed this, but they seem to have come here many times already. It seems that the idiom 'familiarity breeds contempt' is really apt." Meng Ling shook his head helplessly and slowly placed the bamboo basket in front of the clear river water.

  "Let's stop thinking about that, let's start cultivating." Meng Ling made a hand seal and followed the route of chakra circulation to gather her mixed yuan divine power on her feet.

  "Hmm..." After doing all that, Meng Ling came to the riverbank and dipped her toes in the water, testing it out.

  "Ah, it can be used like that. It seems that the method of using Chakra can also be applied to the mixed origin of divine power, I thought only the Shadow Clone Technique could use the mixed origin of divine power to imitate, it seems I was wrong." Dreaming secretly thought in her heart.

  About an hour later, everyone finally completed their respective tasks. Since they were all scattered in different places during this time, no one except Tian Cang captain noticed that Meng Ling was practicing walking on water.

  "It seems that walking on water isn't that difficult after all, I really don't know how Naruto and the others managed to train to the point where they could climb trees like that." Meng Ling said lightly, but how would she know that it was all due to the power of the mixed yuan within her body being top-notch in terms of energy levels, and that chakra couldn't be compared to it.

  "Alright, the first task has been successfully completed. Now it's time to complete the second task." Tian Cang team leader put those bamboo baskets back into his own storage scroll.

  After arriving at the Fire Shadow Rock, Captain Tenshou's hands flipped over, and suddenly a large pile of mops and rags appeared again.

  "What's inside Captain Tian Cang's storage scroll anyway? Everything is in there." Meng Ling said weakly.

  "When clearing the Huoyingyan, Meng Ling, you don't have to use a pulley, but you must complete the task at the fastest speed." Meng Ling looked at Captain Tiance and only saw Captain Tiance's dejected face say a sentence to himself.

  "Got it, Captain Tenshou. I'll complete the mission as soon as possible." Meng Ling responded with a single word and then charged up the rocky wall of Hoshigake alone.

  Since Meng Ling had already done repairs on the water, Meng Ling was as familiar with these cliffs as if she were walking on flat ground. She alone arrived at Huoyan Cangyan under the astonished gaze of several companions below and began to sweep.

  "Everywhere is an opportunity for cultivation, I finally understand now." Meng Ling smiled, the wiping cloth in her hand danced, at first Tian Cang team leader thought Meng Ling had gone mad, but later Tian Cang team leader suddenly realized.

  Originally, Meng Ling was using his own 'special method' to sweep the floor. Since some Hunyuan divine power had been infused into it, the cleaning effect was extremely good. As a result, all the dust and dirt in the area where Meng Ling's mop had passed were absorbed into the mop itself.

  "Alas, I'm exhausted. It seems these tasks are not as simple as they seem. Meng Ling tossed the nearly black rag in her hand into a nearby bucket of water, then picked up another one and leapt back onto Huoying Yan's rock, continuing her cleaning."

  About an hour and twenty minutes later, Meng Ling's work was finally announced a success. After completing this task, Meng Ling knew that she had something to play with this time.

  "I really didn't expect that I would take an interest in the so-called 'Super Escape Cat' of Konohagakure." Meng Ling smiled self-deprecatingly, she knew that what followed would be a major event in the world of ninja.

  After all, that great lady's 'bullying policy' left the deepest impression on the little cat called 'Ah Hu'.

  Come to think of it, Meng Ling said this sentence to Tai Ming Furen when she first saw Naruto and the Seventh Squad members executing this task together.

  "If it were me, I would also run away without hesitation with such a master." Meng Ling was repeating what Ming Ren said about Daming Furen.

  After all, at that time in the great hall of Huoying, the demeanor of Mrs. Daming was not like a 'lady' at all. Watching the little cat called Atiger being stroked by Mrs. Daming with her huge cheeks, Meng Ling felt his body tremble and goosebumps all over the floor.

  "Alright, today's third task is a C-level task. First, put on the wireless earpiece, everyone must be careful. Alright, disperse." With a wave of his hand, the three people including Meng Ling simultaneously disappeared from Tian Cang's line of sight.

  "This time when handing in the task, I absolutely don't want to see that perverted noblewoman. So it's better for me to finish this task early, lest night is long and dreams are many." Meng Ling made up her mind, so she also sped up her search by a lot.

  "Shadow Clone Technique." Meng Ling's hands formed a seal, and under the transformation of Hunyuan God's power, three clones appeared around Meng Ling. They were all emitting a faint golden glow.

  At this time, in the Hokage office of Konohagakure, a crystal ball was placed before the Third Hokage.

  No mistake, our Third Hokage has started peeping again. However, this time the Third Hokage is really observing every move of Mu Lin.

  "What kind of Shadow Clone Jutsu is this, I've never seen anything like it in the Ninja World. Although the hand seal is the same, the energy inside the shadow clone created by Mengyun is not small at all." The Third Hokage puffed out a mouthful of smoke and said thoughtfully...
