Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger

Chapter 51

In the secret realm where there were no sun, moon, or stars, estimating time could only rely on oneself.

While Kong Linxue was healing. Meng Changqing didn’t waste time and continued to consolidate his realm.

Cultivating the Sea Cleaving Realm mainly involved increasing the amount of True Qi.

However, there were two difficulties.

One was the enormous consumption of resources, far exceeding the Aperture Connecting Realm.

The other was the need to comprehend the secrets of the Elixir Field, which tested one’s comprehension.

Fortunately, after assimilating his aunt’s attributes, his comprehension was top-notch.

He wouldn’t be hindered by comprehension.

At a certain moment, Meng Changqing slowly opened his eyes, and the overflowing aura in his body had already been completely restrained.

This meant that the consolidation of his realm had been completed, and there was no need to worry about the risk of regression.

“The Elixir Field, truly a mysterious place.” During the consolidation, he also introspected his own Elixir Field, a vortex resembling chaos.

It was like a profound night sky, exuding a mysterious and profound aura.

Every inch of it was new territory, requiring time to explore and comprehend.

“It is said that besides the Elixir Field, there is also the Knowledge Sea, which belongs to the spiritual secret storehouse of all living beings.” Recalling some records in ancient books, Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered slightly.

Then he shook his head.

Because for him now, exploring the spiritual realm was too far away.

He hadn’t even figured out the Elixir Field yet.

Let’s finish the current path first.

“Now that I have reached the Sea Cleaving Realm, can I open the sealed box my aunt left for me?” Meng Changqing remembered this matter.

His aunt’s background was extraordinary, so naturally, what she entrusted to him was not ordinary.

But his aunt had instructed not to easily reveal it to others.

After some thought, he decided to give up on studying it for now.

Although Senior Sister Kong wouldn’t have any ill intentions towards him, it was better to have fewer complications.

Tap, tap, tap~

Footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

Meng Changqing stood up immediately and turned around.

It was Kong Linxue.

After a night of healing, she was basically fine, at most, there were only some damage to her qi and blood.

“You’ve worked hard, Junior Brother, to stay here until now.” Kong Linxue smiled sweetly.

“Senior Sister, your words are too heavy. This is what I should do. Yesterday, you protected me, so naturally, I should return the favor.” Meng Changqing replied.

“Although that’s the case, it also delayed a lot of your time. With your current cultivation in the Sea Cleaving Realm, you could probably have obtained many advanced resources.” Kong Linxue remarked.

“Life has its own timing. What is meant to be mine will not be missed.” Meng Changqing smiled faintly.

“Junior Brother is so carefree. From now on, I won’t drag you down.” Although she wanted to stay with Meng Changqing, Kong Linxue also understood that this was a secret realm, not a place for romantic sentiments.

They needed to seize the time.

Bringing her burden with her would only slow down Meng Changqing’s progress in finding resources.

Besides, she had her own things to do.

“After the secret realm, we can chat more.”

“Okay.” After thinking for a moment, Meng Changqing nodded.

Then, he opened his right hand, revealing the broken jade hairpin inside.

“This is a significant item for you, Senior Sister, isn’t it?” Although the jade hairpin didn’t seem special, such items could be quite valuable to certain individuals rather than in general.

“I’ve been using it for many years, but it’s not really important.” Kong Linxue shook her head and took out a new one from her storage ring, tying up her cascading hair again.

It instantly gave off an elegant and antique feeling.

Meng Changqing’s gaze was fixed.

It had to be said that in terms of appearance, Senior Sister Kong was top-tier, almost on par with his aunt and Bai Suxi.

Sensing Meng Changqing’s gaze, Kong Linxue bit her lip lightly.

She felt a bit shy and yet also a bit joyful.

“Used it for many years, huh?” Coming back to his senses, Meng Changqing clenched the jade hairpin tightly and then smiled, “Anyway, this item broke because of me. I’ll buy you a better one as compensation in the future.”

“Then I’ll remember that!” Kong Linxue felt somewhat happy.

At least this was a promise from Meng Changqing to her.

However, she didn’t dwell on it too much because in the practice of martial arts, many things would eventually be forgotten, especially trivial matters.

In her opinion, Meng Changqing’s intention was what mattered.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to a few places.” Meng Changqing said.

“What places?”

Boom!

A huge ice sculpture collapsed, shattering into pieces.

It was a peak second-level beast, now lifeless.

“Sister, hold this.” Coming to the jade platform, Meng Changqing smiled and said.

Kong Linxue immediately stepped forward and took the spirit medicine from the jade platform. At first, she didn’t understand where Meng Changqing was taking her.

But soon enough, it became clear.

It was these places of opportunity.

Before breaking through, Meng Changqing could single-handedly clear these spots of opportunity, let alone now.

He could easily eradicate them with a single sword strike.

And he generously gave all the advanced resources on the jade platform to her.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Meng. It’s already enough. You don’t need to give me more.” Kong Linxue felt moved.

Actually, these spots of opportunity arranged by the sect were not intended for ordinary disciples, and she didn’t have the strength to obtain them.

But now, under the ‘leadership’ of Meng Changqing, she had obtained two in a row.

It was worth noting that what could be placed on these spots of opportunity were all precious items.

Ding!

[Favorability increased to three stars!]

[Acquired attribute: Third-grade Root Bone!]

The system’s voice sounded in Meng Changqing’s mind, leaving him momentarily stunned.

He had only wanted to repay Kong Linxue out of pure goodwill, without any ulterior motives.

He hadn’t expected his favorability to increase.

Three-star favorability.

This also ranked him second among friends, just below his aunt.

Besides repaying, Meng Changqing also wanted to see if the resources in these shallow red spots of opportunity were all Little Broken Mirror Pills.

But after examining these two spots of opportunity, it was evident that this was not the case.

Clearly, the resources in these spots of opportunity were different.

One could also confirm that among the shallow red spots of opportunity, the Little Broken Mirror Pill was the most valuable.

It was truly a third-grade pill, while the other resources, such as the spirit medicine in these two spots of opportunity, were barely approaching third-grade.

For him, their usefulness was not very significant.

“Junior Brother Meng, I’ll be leaving now. I wish you a bountiful harvest in the secret realm!” Kong Linxue smiled sweetly and then turned to leave.

Although Junior Brother Meng didn’t say much, she understood the situation and couldn’t delay him any longer.

“Okay, Senior Sister, take care.” Meng Changqing nodded.
