Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger

Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Power Surge!

After leaving Meng Changqing behind, Bai Suxi stopped on a small hill.

She turned around and looked in Meng Changqing’s direction.

Every time she met Meng Senior Brother, it was so short-lived.

If only they could spend more time together.

“True friends are hard to find, and sincere friends are even rarer.

“You’re lucky to have met a good person,” the old voice rarely sighed.

If it were her at that time, even if there was a Nine-Leaf Blue Spirit Grass in front of her, she would have fought to the death with her fellow disciples.

Morality? Friendship? They were all just illusions.

But in Meng Changqing’s eyes, there was no trace of greed, only a hint of surprise.

He glanced at it and then looked away.

He even refused Bai Suxi’s proposal.

“Yes, Senior Brother Meng is a very good person,” Bai Suxi’s watery eyes even showed a hint of admiration.

She was just a teenage girl.

At this age, how could she not admire a man who was as bright as the sun?

“But I also need to work harder!” Bai Suxi withdrew her gaze and clenched her small fist. “Senior Brother Meng has reached the Sea Cleaving Realm, and I can’t fall too far behind him!

“Master, after the secret realm, please teach me the true inheritance.”

“Okay.”

—

Meng Changqing stood still.

The breeze blew gently, causing his clothes to flutter.

He opened the character panel, preparing to integrate the attributes.

Although Bai Suxi gave him the manual, direct integration was not that simple.

“System, fuse attributes.”

Ding!

[Integration begins!]

As soon as the words fell, an incomparably majestic insight surged in his mind.

These were all about the essence of the “Dark Sea Returning to Origin Technique.”

The quantity was even greater than that of the “Linglong Cold Moon Sword Technique.” It took more than half an hour to fully absorb it.

Phew!

Meng Changqing exhaled lightly and slowly opened his eyes, excitement evident in them.

This technique was indeed Earth-Rank, but that’s not what excited him.

The key was the content!

“Dark Sea Returning to Origin Technique” was not a martial art, but a pure cultivation technique.

Its function was to increase the total amount of qi and blood or true qi.

There were five levels in total.

Each level doubled the power, but when it reached the fifth level, there was a qualitative change, with a tenfold increase.

It was well known that everyone’s strength in qi and blood or true qi was not much different.

Therefore, control over true qi consumption was also a crucial factor in battles.

But if one’s true qi was abundant enough, then they would have a natural advantage!

Like the sword strike just now that killed the Skywind Cloud Tiger, it was considered a full-strength attack.

Although very powerful, the remaining true qi could only support one more sword strike at most.

After that, only some weaker sword techniques could be used.

“No wonder when I saw Bai Suxi, her qi and blood seemed unusually abundant.” Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered slightly.

Normally, after being chased by the Skywind Cloud Tiger for so long, her qi and blood should have been depleted.

But Bai Suxi was the opposite, appearing very full, as if she hadn’t consumed much at all.

It turned out to be because of this “Dark Sea Returning to Origin Technique”!

The Elixir Field was a mysterious place where true qi was nurtured.

Only through continuous comprehension could one gradually increase the total amount of true qi.

This was also the cultivation of the Sea Cleaving Realm.

The “Dark Sea Returning to Origin Technique” did not help martial artists comprehend the Elixir Field but simulated its existence in the body’s five organs, allowing true qi to be stored there.

It was worth noting that true qi could only exist in the Elixir Field and could not be stored for long periods in meridians or other places.

So the train of thought of this technique was very correct.

“Amazing, to create such a technique.” Meng Changqing admired.

Having integrated Bai Suxi’s martial arts attainment, the “Dark Sea Returning to Origin Technique” was now at the fourth level.

This meant that the lungs, spleen, liver, and kidneys had already simulated the Elixir Field.

Only the heart remained.

When all five organs returned to their origin, the amount of true qi that could be stored would undergo a qualitative change.

“System, use the Earth-Rank Martial Arts Proficiency Card!

“Increase the ‘Dark Sea Returning to Origin Technique’!”

Ding!

[Consuming Earth-Rank Martial Arts Proficiency Card * 1.]

[The ‘Dark Sea Returning to Origin Technique’ has been upgraded to the fifth level!]

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, Meng Changqing felt a sudden shock in his heart.

It felt like the heavens and earth were opening up.

At the same time, there seemed to be an indescribable connection between the five organs, and they were communicating with each other, causing the simulated Elixir Field to expand dramatically!

The amount of true qi it could store had reached ten times that of a true Elixir Field!

“This technique is extremely difficult to cultivate because it requires many rare and exotic resources, and even some parts of monsters.

“Bai Suxi has good luck and can find them continuously, but I don’t think it will work for me,” Meng Changqing sensed the changes in his body, his lips slightly raised, “But I have proficiency cards, which is just as good and much simpler.”

With just a “ding,” Meng Changqing began to mobilize his true qi towards the five organs.

When the Elixir Field detected that the true qi was decreasing, it actively began to replenish it.

According to Meng Changqing’s estimate, it would take several hours to fill up.

“There are still two proficiency cards left, which can also be used to upgrade the ‘Linglong Daluo Tian.’

“The value of this secret technique is almost equivalent to that of the ‘Dark Sea Returning to Origin Technique.’

“It’s a pity that, like the ‘Dark Sea Returning to Origin Technique,’ it must be cultivated to the last level, which is the Perfection, to have a significant change.

“But no matter what, it must be cultivated.

“System, upgrade the ‘Linglong Daluo Tian’!”

Ding!

[Consuming Earth-Rank Martial Arts Proficiency Card * 2.]

[The ‘Linglong Daluo Tian’ has been upgraded to the second level!]

A large amount of insight surged in his mind, which Meng Changqing slowly absorbed.

Because there were only two levels, it didn’t take much time.

After a stick of incense, Meng Changqing opened his eyes.

The second level of the ‘Linglong Daluo Tian’ meant that his combat power could be doubled.

Its main idea was to burn true qi, causing the quality of true qi to skyrocket, thereby enhancing the power of various martial arts techniques when used!

“In a way, the ‘Dark Sea Returning to Origin Technique’ and the ‘Linglong Daluo Tian’ are simply a perfect match.

“One increases the quantity of true qi, the other increases the quality of true qi.

“It’s a pity that the ‘Linglong Daluo Tian’ is just a secret technique, not a martial art, so it can only be amplified for a short time.” Meng Changqing couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.

But regardless, with these two martial arts techniques added to his repertoire, his strength had skyrocketed!

Even if he was just entering the Sea Cleaving Realm, he had the confidence to compete with peak Sea Cleaving Realm warriors!
