Chapter 42: Um⊠Your Hands Are Quite Large, Junior Brother Meng
After about a moment, Kong Linyue finished her explanation in detail.
âThank you, Senior Sister, for letting me know. Otherwise, when the secret realm opens, I would truly be at a loss and unable to figure out the direction,â said Meng Changqing.
This was the truth. After all, he had never been there before. As a newcomer to the inner sect, he had no foundation or support from predecessors.
âItâs not really a particularly valuable piece of information,â said Kong Linyue, blinking her beautiful eyes. âWhen the secret realm opens, the sect will also issue a map with relevant information. Itâs just that knowing in advance allows us to plan ahead.â
âThatâs true,â nodded Meng Changqing. âAs the saying goes, being one step ahead is being ahead every step.â
Moreover, there would certainly be many inner sect disciples trying to find out about the secret realm in advance, such as by asking some of the âold folksâ who had been there before.
Martial arts were competitive. There was no absolute fairness, and even relative fairness was hard to come by.
âJunior Brother Meng, as a newcomer to the inner sect and so devoted to cultivation, you probably wouldnât consider these things,â Kong Linyue teased.
âSister knows me well,â Meng Changqing chuckled and shook his head. In fact, when oneâs own strength was strong enough, they wouldnât consider too much.
To remain unchanged amid a thousand changes.
âDo you have any other questions about the secret realm?â Kong Linyue rested her chin on her hand, and a few strands of green hair fell from her forehead.
In the gentle breeze, they swayed slightly, quite beautiful.
âI have no questions about the secret realm, but I have some doubts about alchemy. I hope Senior Sister can enlighten me,â said Meng Changqing.
He had to continue laying the groundwork for his identity as an alchemist.
âGo ahead,â Kong Linyueâs eyes lit up.
This was asking about her area of expertise.
âIâve read a lot of books on alchemy beforeâŠâ Meng Changqing began to fabricate and blabber.
Three hours later, Kong Linyue lightly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at Meng Changqing.
To be honest, she had never seen someone with such terrifying insight.
His comprehension was too strong.
Any question she answered, he immediately understood, and even extrapolated further, delving deeper!
Based on the proficiency he had demonstrated, he was definitely comparable to a first-grade alchemist!
His talent in swordsmanship was terrifying.
She hadnât expected him to be the same in alchemy!
He was truly extraordinary!
âJunior Brother Meng, why donât you come to our Medicine King Peak?â Kong Linyue held Meng Changqingâs hand, sincerely inviting him.
âSister is too kind. Iâm just learning casually, not planning to specialize,â Meng Changqing said without blushing or skipping a beat.
âJust learning casuallyâŠâ Kong Linyue was a little speechless.
She had spent nearly ten years of hard work to reach her current level of second-grade alchemy.
But Junior Brother Meng was just casually learning and was already at first-grade level.
What she didnât know was that Meng Changqing had long been at the second-grade level.
He was just slowly revealing it to prevent too much of a gap.
Once he possessed the special flame, he could do so openly.
Then Kong Linyue seemed to realize that she was holding Meng Changqingâs hand.
Her cheeks flushed immediately, and she quickly let go.
Just now, it was a heartfelt emotion that prompted her to act like that.
It wasnât intentional.
âUm⊠your hands are quite large, Junior Brother Meng, and quite warmâŠâ Kong Linyue coughed lightly.
She wanted to explain, but found that the words she said would only sound weirder.
The scene suddenly fell into a strange silence.
âUm, I still have something to do, Iâll leave first. See you later, Junior Brother Meng.â
In her heart, Kong Linyue felt increasingly shy.
She quickly got up and left.
So far, she had never had such an intimate gesture with a man before. And she was the one who initiated holding hands!
As the fragrant breeze drifted away, the courtyard gate closed, leaving only Meng Changqing behind.
He rubbed his forehead.
Even now, he could understand what Kong Linyueâs expression and reaction.
But his martial arts cultivation had just begun.
âLet it be.â
Meng Changqing let go of his hand and looked at the jade box on the table.
The Golden Scale Purple Blood Pill.
With this pill, stepping into the peak of the Aperture Connecting Realm in a short time was not a problem!
And this could also be considered an extra gift from a friend apart from its attributes!
Just like Bai Suxi back then.
Speaking of Bai Suxi, he wondered how she was doing lately.
Since she had entered the inner gate, she would probably participate in this upcoming secret realm.
Thinking about it, Meng Changqing directly opened his friends list.
ăFriend: Bai Suxiă
ăRace: Humană
ăCultivation: Aperture Connecting Realm, Fourth Levelă
ăâŠă
ăMartial Arts Techniques: âDark Sea Returning Origin Artâ (Entry)âŠă
âAnother breakthrough, huh.â
Meng Changqing raised an eyebrow slightly.
She truly was someone with great potential.
Remembering just over ten days ago, when he was still in the clan, she was only at the second level of the Aperture Connecting Realm.
Now she was already at the fourth stage.
Her progress was indeed rapid.
Moreover, her martial art technique had also improved.
He wasnât sure which technique it was, but it definitely wasnât from the Tai Xuan Sect.
At least he hadnât seen it in the Hidden Martial Pavilion.
âI need to focus on cultivation.â
Meng Changqing picked up the jade box and walked back into the room.
Otherwise, he would be caught up to by this little girl.
