Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger

Chapter 34 - Second-Rank Alchemist, "Imperial Fire Incinerating Sun Technique"

Also known as the Transcendence Realm, meaning transcending the ordinary.

Because at this realm, the nature of one’s strength undergoes a change.

For instance, those in the Vein Tempering Realm and the Aperture Connecting Realm use their own blood and qi.

But in the Sea Cleaving Realm, it’s true qi.

The world had primordial qi, and humans cultivate their sea pill, merging the primordial qi with their blood and qi, transforming it into a higher quality true qi.

Unlike blood and qi, true qi could exist outside the body.

In those stories, the so-called Hundred-Zhang Sword Light, Boundless Blade Qi, beheading people from thousands of miles away, were all manifestations of true qi.

Although the Wind and Thunder Sword Art he’s currently using had lightning on the sword, it’s all powered by blood and qi.

That’s all there was to it.

But if it were true qi, then he could condense real thunder and continuously strike with it.

The enemy might not even be able to approach, being suppressed and killed by the continuous thunderous sword qi!

So the difference between the Aperture Connecting Realm and the Sea Cleaving Realm was like heaven and earth.

In terms of the nature of their strength, as well as their methods of combat.

They were on different levels.

Therefore, for martial artists in the Aperture Connecting Realm to defeat those in the Sea Cleaving Realm was extremely difficult.

Unless the foundation of that Aperture Connecting Realm martial artist was terrifyingly strong.

“Perhaps reaching the Ninth Level of the Aperture Connecting Realm might suffice.” Meng Changqing made a rational judgment in his heart.

Then he withdrew his thoughts and looked towards the corpse of Bei Qianke in front of him, searching through it a bit.

This guy was not an ordinary martial artist.

He should be quite wealthy.

However, after searching, he was greatly disappointed.

It was the opposite of what he had imagined.

Very poor.

There were only a few pills on him, along with a secret manual.

Named “Ghost Finger of the Netherworld.”

A low-grade profound-level martial art.

After flipping through it briefly, he lost interest.

Its power was mediocre.

Not comparable to the Wind and Thunder Sword Art.

There was simply no need to learn it.

“Perhaps his resources have run out, so he came here to refine pills using dark arts.”

Meng Changqing tossed it aside.

As for the so-called Blood Refinement Array, he had even less interest.

Although the Yellow Springs Rising Aperture Pill’s medicinal efficacy was decent, it was, after all, a demonic pill with side effects when consumed.

It went against common sense.

During the battle, Meng Changqing had seen the character panels of these people.

None of them had anything particularly outstanding.

So he didn’t hold back.

The thing Bei Qianke used should be a secret tool with mist inside. As for why he wasn’t affected himself, it was probably because he had long been accustomed to it.

The mist was limited.

So by now, it was starting to dissipate.

Especially with the gentle night breeze, it dissipated even faster.

The mist didn’t discriminate between friend and foe.

Therefore, Bei Qianke’s subordinates were all trapped in illusions, unable to extricate themselves, performing various strange actions on the spot.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Meng Changqing simply finished them off one by one and sent them to meet Bei Qianke.

Kong Linyue and the other two knew how to deal with it.

They closed their eyes and blocked their noses early on.

So they weren’t affected by the mist.

Now that the mist had dissipated, they opened their eyes.

At the first glance, they saw Bei Qianke’s body lying on the ground, separated from its head, and a relaxed expression appeared on their faces.

When the mist appeared, to be honest, Kong Linyue’s heart tightened.

Because those with weak willpower were easily affected.

And once affected, they’re like lambs to the slaughter, completely powerless to resist.

Fortunately, this junior brother named Meng was firm-willed. Not only was he not affected by the illusion, but he also killed Bei Qianke in the mist.

The strength was really quite astonishing.

At least among the inner disciples she knew, there were hardly any who can compare, except for a few anomalies.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Meng, for lending a hand. My name is Kong Linyue, a disciple of the Medicine King Peak.

“These two are my junior sisters, Tan Mohan…” Kong Linyue struggled to stand up, expressing her gratitude.

Her words were sincere. If it weren’t for Junior Brother Meng’s timely arrival, the three of them would probably have met an untimely end.

Becoming a part of that Yellow Springs Rising Aperture Pill.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Meng.” The two female disciples also expressed their thanks.

There was a hint of admiration in their eyes.

Previously, the environment was too dark, and there was no energy to pay attention to Junior Brother Meng’s appearance.

Now that the moonlight was bright…

Upon closer inspection, he was unexpectedly handsome.

People, after all, admire strength.

With such formidable strength and handsome appearance, who could ignore it?

“Sisters need not be polite. We all belong to the same sect and should help each other outside.

“How can we tolerate the wanton killing of demonic thieves?”

Meng Changqing walked over, smiling faintly.

At the same time, he observed the character panels of the three.

To be honest, he had never encountered disciples from Medicine King Peak before.

Basic Information:

【Name: Kong Linyue】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation: Aperture Connecting Realm, Seventh Level】

Attribute Information:

【Root Bone: Third Grade】

【Comprehension: Medium】

【Techniques and Martial Skills: “Imperial Fire Sun Incineration Technique” (Partial Mastery), “Elemental Transformation Fist” (Partial Mastery)】

【Alchemy Proficiency: Second Grade】

“Third Grade indeed meets the standard of a genius.” Meng Changqing nodded secretly.

However, the definition of a genius could not simply be based on physique.

It also depended on comprehension, talent, bloodline, physique, and so on.

Like the Shi Brothers from before, just the stone bloodline alone was enough to deserve the title of genius. No, it should be called a monster.

“Alchemy Proficiency, Second Grade, does that mean she’s a Second-Rank Alchemist?” A bright light flashed in Meng Changqing’s eyes.

This was in the attribute information.

Not the basic information.

It meant that if she were added as a friend, there was a chance to obtain it!

In the cultivation world, the status of an alchemist was quite high.

Every day, there were countless martial artists seeking alchemy.

Not to mention reputation, the wealth alone was endless.

If he could obtain this attribute from Kong Linyue and integrate it, then he would directly become a Second-Rank Alchemist!

“I must add this woman as a friend!” Meng Changqing looked at Kong Linyue, and the light in his eyes gradually brightened.

As for the other two, their attribute panels didn’t look as good as Kong Linyue’s.

Their alchemy proficiency was only First Grade.

Moreover, in the column of techniques and martial skills, they lacked the “Imperial Fire Sun Incineration Technique.”

It seemed that there was quite a gap between these two and Kong Linyue.
