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.

“If you hadn’t come, I would have gone to your room to check on you,” Gu Hongyu said slowly as she set aside her book.

“It’s rare to have time to rest properly.” Meng Changqing walked over and sat down beside her.

He poured himself a cup of tea.

“That’s true,” Gu Hongyu nodded, then pushed a jade box toward Meng Changqing. “Inside are ten second-grade Spirit Fusion Pills, suitable for practitioners at the Aperture Connecting Realm.

“They were originally prepared for two senior clan elders.

“But, now they belong to you.”

“Spirit Fusion Pills,” 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 couldn’t 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.

“Do the clan elders have any objections?” Meng Changqing didn’t open the box.

“They asked for it themselves,” Gu Hongyu shook her head with a smile. “In their words, they are already old, and their talents are ordinary. Although taking these pills will improve their cultivation, it won’t be significant. It’s a waste of resources.

“But you, now the future of the Meng family, naturally all resources should be poured into you.”

“Alright,” Meng Changqing didn’t say much, just kept it in mind.

These ten Spirit Fusion Pills were probably one-seventh of the family’s 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 wouldn’t be much waste.

In the past, even forty pills wouldn’t have been enough.

The speed was slow, and the absorption rate was low.

“You probably aren’t in a hurry to return to the sect, right? I’ll send someone out to purchase various resources in the next few days.

“After all, you came back too suddenly, and many things weren’t prepared.”

Gu Hongyu said.

“I can only stay for five or six days,” Meng Changqing replied.

“So urgent?” Gu Hongyu was a little surprised.

“Yeah.” Then Meng Changqing told her about the secret realm.

“I see,” Gu Hongyu nodded in understanding. “In that case, you must hurry back. The secret realm is like a blessed land, full of opportunities and treasures.”

“Anything you casually obtain there can enhance your strength.”

Seeing Gu Hongyu’s 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 wasn’t much fluctuation in her emotions.

Only those who had seen a lot would be like this.

“Alright, I’ll speed up the preparations. You’ll have everything ready in five days,” Gu Hongyu said.

“Thank you, Aunt.”

“After being away for two years, things have become a bit unfamiliar.” Gu Hongyu rolled her eyes, “Always saying thank you. We’re family, there’s no need for thanks. Now that you’re the backbone of the Meng family and likely to step into the Sea Cleaving Realm in the future, transcending the ordinary.

“All family resources naturally revolve around you.”

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.

“Let’s leave it at that. You rest well these two days. I’ll personally take care of some things to prepare for you.” After saying that, Gu Hongyu got up and left, leaving Meng Changqing alone in the family hall.

“This is the benefit of belonging to a family.

“At least you don’t have to struggle desperately for cultivation resources.

“Only when you are outstanding enough will everything come to you.”

Why was it so difficult to produce strong cultivators among wandering cultivators?

Besides innate talent, it’s 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.

“Cultivation!”

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 sect’s secret realm would open.

Let’s 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 wouldn’t underestimate himself nor would he underestimate others, especially those true geniuses in the inner sect!

If he couldn’t 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 family…

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.
