Chapter 29: Everything in the Family Will Be Centered Around You!
The family hall.
When Meng Changqing arrived, Gu Hongyu was sitting in the main seat, sipping tea and reading miscellaneous books.
âIf you hadnât come, I would have gone to your room to check on you,â Gu Hongyu said slowly as she set aside her book.
âItâs rare to have time to rest properly.â Meng Changqing walked over and sat down beside her.
He poured himself a cup of tea.
âThatâs true,â Gu Hongyu nodded, then pushed a jade box toward Meng Changqing. âInside are ten second-grade Spirit Fusion Pills, suitable for practitioners at the Aperture Connecting Realm.
âThey were originally prepared for two senior clan elders.
âBut, now they belong to you.â
âSpirit Fusion Pills,â Meng Changqing reached out to take them.
As the son of a trading consortium, he naturally knew about some of the pills on the market.
Once a pill reached a certain grade, its price would be relatively high, especially if it was second-grade.
Among second-grade pills, Spirit Fusion Pills were quite valuable because of their excellent effects and the ability to be taken multiple times.
Unlike other pills, where the effect diminishes after the first use, Spirit Fusion Pills could maintain their effectiveness.
Ordinary Aperture Connecting Realm practitioners couldnât afford such pills.
Most of them were still using first-grade pills.
Only large clans and trading consortiums had the power to obtain such pills.
âDo the clan elders have any objections?â Meng Changqing didnât open the box.
âThey asked for it themselves,â Gu Hongyu shook her head with a smile. âIn their words, they are already old, and their talents are ordinary. Although taking these pills will improve their cultivation, it wonât be significant. Itâs a waste of resources.
âBut you, now the future of the Meng family, naturally all resources should be poured into you.â
âAlright,â Meng Changqing didnât say much, just kept it in mind.
These ten Spirit Fusion Pills were probably one-seventh of the familyâs foundation.
After all, Spirit Fusion Pills were very valuable.
With his current Bone Grade, these ten Spirit Fusion Pills should be enough to cultivate to the seventh level of the Aperture Connecting Realm.
The higher the Bone Grade, the faster the absorption rate and absorption efficiency of pills.
There wouldnât be much waste.
In the past, even forty pills wouldnât have been enough.
The speed was slow, and the absorption rate was low.
âYou probably arenât in a hurry to return to the sect, right? Iâll send someone out to purchase various resources in the next few days.
âAfter all, you came back too suddenly, and many things werenât prepared.â
Gu Hongyu said.
âI can only stay for five or six days,â Meng Changqing replied.
âSo urgent?â Gu Hongyu was a little surprised.
âYeah.â Then Meng Changqing told her about the secret realm.
âI see,â Gu Hongyu nodded in understanding. âIn that case, you must hurry back. The secret realm is like a blessed land, full of opportunities and treasures.â
âAnything you casually obtain there can enhance your strength.â
Seeing Gu Hongyuâs reaction, Meng Changqing became more certain of his previous guess.
For others, hearing about a secret realm would have likely excited them greatly.
But Aunt was relatively calm.
There wasnât much fluctuation in her emotions.
Only those who had seen a lot would be like this.
âAlright, Iâll speed up the preparations. Youâll have everything ready in five days,â Gu Hongyu said.
âThank you, Aunt.â
âAfter being away for two years, things have become a bit unfamiliar.â Gu Hongyu rolled her eyes, âAlways saying thank you. Weâre family, thereâs no need for thanks. Now that youâre the backbone of the Meng family and likely to step into the Sea Cleaving Realm in the future, transcending the ordinary.
âAll family resources naturally revolve around you.â
Hearing this, Meng Changqing could only rub his forehead lightly.
It was indeed logical.
But it was also his habit.
Gratitude for kindness, vengeance for enmity.
âLetâs leave it at that. You rest well these two days. Iâll personally take care of some things to prepare for you.â After saying that, Gu Hongyu got up and left, leaving Meng Changqing alone in the family hall.
âThis is the benefit of belonging to a family.
âAt least you donât have to struggle desperately for cultivation resources.
âOnly when you are outstanding enough will everything come to you.â
Why was it so difficult to produce strong cultivators among wandering cultivators?
Besides innate talent, itâs mostly because too much time was wasted searching for resources.
But someone like him could spend all day quietly cultivating in his room.
Anything he needed was provided.
âCultivation!â
Picking up the jade box, Meng Changqing stood up and left the hall.
With cultivation stagnating for so many days, it was time to continue advancing.
In just over a month, the sectâs secret realm would open.
Letâs see if he could increase his cultivation level a few more times.
In the Tai Xuan Seven Veins, where elites gather, the competition would surely be intense.
He wouldnât underestimate himself nor would he underestimate others, especially those true geniuses in the inner sect!
If he couldnât make friends with them, then he would rely on his sword, no, his noble character, and unparalleled charm.
In Cloudwater City, under the active guidance of the Meng familyâŠ
The news of their young master, Meng Changqing, breaking through to the Aperture Connecting Realm and advancing to the Tai Xuan inner sect spread completely, causing other commercial forces to be shaken.
After all, a cultivator at the Aperture Connecting Realm, especially one so young, meant something obvious.
For a while, the status of the Meng Chamber of Commerce in the city skyrocketed.
It was almost becoming the leading commercial force in Cloudwater City.
And Meng family members who were away from home also held their heads high.
