Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger

Chapter 15 - Making Friends in Reverse!

Chapter 15: Making Friends in Reverse!

Looking into the distance,

There stood seven towering peaks between heaven and earth.

Majestic and unscalable!

With a grand and vast aura, permeated with ancient and profound aura.

In the Tianling Prefecture, the Tai Xuan Sect could be considered a very ancient sect. In terms of founding time alone, it surpassed other sects of the same level. It was said to date back thousands of years.

“Those are the seven main peaks. Have you decided where to go now?” Sun Haishan asked.

“The Spirit Peak,” Meng Changqing withdrew his gaze and said slowly. Since the Spirit Peak was a lineage dedicated to sword cultivation, it was naturally the most suitable for him.

“Alright, then I’ll take you to the Spirit Peak,” Sun Haishan nodded. He didn’t show any surprise at this.

Under Sun Haishan’s guidance, Meng Changqing finally arrived at the Spirit Peak.

But what he saw on the mountain peak, whether it was the buildings or the scenery, was filled with a faint sense of sharpness.

It was like a mountain of swords.

However, what puzzled Meng Changqing slightly was that there were almost no disciples walking on this road.

It was somewhat desolate.

“Compared to the outer sect, the number of inner sect disciples is naturally much smaller,” seeming to perceive Meng Changqing’s thoughts, Sun Haishan stroked his white beard and said, “And usually, they are either in seclusion practicing or going out on missions, so it’s rare to see them on the road.”

Hearing this, Meng Changqing understood.

Indeed.

In cultivating one’s Dao, if you didn’t advance, you would regress. How could there be leisure to wander outside?

“In the future, this will be your residence,” Sun Haishan stopped in front of a courtyard and said.

“Okay,” Meng Changqing nodded. Compared to the outer sect, this courtyard seemed much more spacious, befitting the identity of an inner sect disciple.

“These are the clothes and token for the Spirit Peak disciples,” Sun Haishan flipped his right hand, and these two items appeared in the palm of his hand.

“A storage ring?” Meng Changqing raised an eyebrow slightly. This was a rare item, very precious. But from what he knew, storage rings seemed to require cultivators of the Sea Cleaving Realm to use, and they needed to use True Qi. But Sun Haishan was clearly only at the Aperture Connecting Realm.

Dispelling his thoughts, Meng Changqing didn’t dwell on it. In this bizarre world, many things were not absolute.

He reached out and took them.

“I’ll take care of the rest of the procedures for you. Just focus on cultivation,” Sun Haishan said with a smile. For an ordinary disciple, he wouldn’t be this patient.

But who made Meng Changqing have such potential? He had comprehended the Sword Qo. His future achievements were bound to be high.

Being a bit enthusiastic now could be considered an investment in his own future. But he was already old, and it seemed like he didn’t have much of a future left.

“Additionally, this is the introductory sword technique that all Spirit Peak disciples can cultivate.

“The Profound-level Initial Stage Wind and Thunder Sword Art!” Sun Haishan took out another manual.

Looking at the four large characters on the cover, Meng Changqing’s eyes suddenly brightened.

A Profound-level martial skill!

Outside, this would be considered a treasure that could be passed down through generations!

Even in the family consortium he belonged to, there was only one copy.

However, the conditions for cultivation were extremely harsh.

So, from childhood to adulthood, he had never practiced it.

“Since it’s an introductory martial skill, everyone should be able to learn it. In that case, it’s simple,” Meng Changqing’s lips curved slightly. With the system in place, practicing by himself? That was just the most inferior way.

“Huh? Another newcomer?”

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

Meng Changqing turned his head to see a figure walking out from beside his courtyard.

Looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven.

Wearing a gray robe, carrying a long sword on his back.

“You’ve come just in time. Let me introduce you. This is Meng Changqing, a newly promoted disciple from the outer sect,” Sun Haishan said.

“So you’re a junior brother.” Qin Fang’s face lit up with a smile. “Choosing the Spirit Peak was a wise decision. The atmosphere for cultivation here is not as strict as in the other peaks.

“Just like the outer sect.

“I’m Qin Fang. I was also an outer sect disciple. I entered the inner sect ten years ago,” Qin Fang introduced himself.

“Senior Brother Qin,” Meng Changqing nodded slightly.

While doing so, he looked at the character panel displayed next to Qin Fang.

Basic Information:

【Name: Qin Fang】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation: Aperture Connecting Realm, Sixth Level】

Attribute Information:

【Root Bone: Fourth Grade】

【Comprehension: Average】

【Martial Skills: Wind and Thunder Sword Art (Mastered), Sword Steps (Partial Mastery), Space-breaking Hand (Initial Understanding)】

“Judging from his constitution, he is indeed from the outer sect,” Meng Changqing thought to himself.

But when his gaze fell on the Wind and Thunder Sword Art, his eyes brightened slightly.

Truly a case of finding a pillow when feeling sleepy.

It was actually a mastered Wind and Thunder Sword Art!

Profound-level martial skills were not easy to cultivate. They required a high level of understanding and a lot of time.

He didn’t expect to have such a ready-made one so soon.

He must add this person as a friend!

“I heard that you recently received guidance from the Elder of the Scripture Pavilion and cultivated the Wind and Thunder Sword Art to the level of mastery,” Sun Haishan said.

“Yes,” Qin Fang said proudly upon hearing this.

At the same time, his gaze fell on the Wind and Thunder Sword Art in Meng Changqing’s hands.

“If Junior Brother Meng encounters any difficulties in the future, feel free to ask me,” Qin Fang said with a smile.

“Don’t underestimate Junior Brother Meng. He has already comprehended the Sword Qi, and his understanding is remarkable,” Sun Haishan shook his head.

Qin Fang’s expression froze suddenly, and a hint of shock gradually appeared in his eyes.

Sword… QI?!

How could this be possible?

You must know that even true-genius disciples, there were some who hadn’t comprehended it.

It can be imagined how difficult it is.

But this junior brother from the outer sect had comprehended it!

He was truly a genius!

No, more accurately, he should be considered a genius overlooked by the sect!

And now, the dragon hidden in the abyss was emerging.

He would surely soar to great heights in the future.

For a moment, Qin Fang’s gaze fluctuated, no longer casual but gradually becoming somewhat fervent.

His thoughts were similar to Sun Haishan’s.

For such a character, it was natural to make friends with him.

“I didn’t expect that there would be such a genius like Junior Brother Meng among the outer sect disciples!” Qin Fang’s tone became more humble, concealing the pride in his voice.

In the face of Sword Qi, his mastered Wind and Thunder Sword Art was truly not something to boast about.

“Senior Brother Qin, you’re too kind,” Meng Changqing smiled slightly.

“We’re neighbors now. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me. Don’t be polite,” Qin Fang said, “Although I’m much older than you, just consider me as a friend.”

Ding!

[Qin Fang has sent you a friend request.] the system prompted.

Meng Changqing was slightly stunned.

Well, he was still thinking about how to add Qin Fang as a friend, but Qin Fang had taken the initiative to apply.

It was truly an unexpected joy.
