Chapter 118

"Notice: The better the attributes, the higher the probability of obtaining an item; additionally, the grade of the obtained item will also be better."

The System said.

"Understood."

Meng Zhangqing nodded.

He didn't know what a 'Rank Three Physique' could decompose into.

"System, decompose Rank Three Physique."

"Ding!"

"Decomposition successful!"

"Obtained: Profound Grade Martial Art Proficiency Card *1"

"Lucky, actually got an item,"

a smile appeared on Meng Zhangqing's face, "and it's a Profound Grade Martial Art Proficiency Card."

But thinking about it, it was normal.

After all, this was Rank Three Physique.

It wasn't some Rank Six or Rank Five.

With those attributes, even if decomposition yielded an item, it was estimated to be very low-grade stuff.

"However, there are no martial arts needing upgrades right now, so I'll just store it for the time being."

Meng Zhangqing thought to himself.

He would definitely use it later, after all, he still wanted many martial arts.

Whoosh~

His figure flashed, and Meng Zhangqing vanished from the spot.

——

A secluded dense forest.

Surrounded by mountains, rarely visited by people.

"This will do."

Meng Zhangqing sat cross-legged on a thick tree branch.

He was now going to open the sealed box given by his aunt, to see what was inside.

A slight movement of thought.

The sealed box in the storage ring instantly appeared in his hand.

The seal on the box was not an ordinary paper strip.

Meng Zhangqing tried to pull it but couldn't tear it off.

Finally, he had to use true qi.

"It seems my aunt spoke the truth; one really needs to reach the Sea Opening Realm."

Meng Zhangqing nodded slightly.

Creak~

As the box opened, the contents within were revealed before his eyes.

It was actually a secret manual.

The material looked somewhat aged.

Slightly yellowed.

Five characters were written on it.

"Exquisite Great Luo Heaven"!

"Indeed a secret manual."

Because Meng Zhangqing remembered, when his aunt instructed him back then, she used the word 'convey'.

Since it was 'convey', then most likely it was a secret manual.

"What kind of secret manual is this?"

Meng Zhangqing reached out, took it out, and began to flip through it.

However, upon seeing the first page,

his pupils suddenly contracted.

An expression of disbelief appeared.

"It's actually... Earth Grade!!!"

Profound Grade martial arts were already quite rare, let alone Earth Grade!

Even for a major power like the Xuan Sect, Earth Grade was already the core of the Zong Sect.

Even for a True Disciple, without meeting the standard, they were not qualified to learn it!

And Meng Zhangqing had prepared himself that he would be unable to cultivate Earth Grade martial arts in the short term.

But he didn't expect the box gifted by his aunt to contain one!

Taking a deep breath, Meng Zhangqing calmed his emotions, then continued flipping through the pages.

"Wait, this is not a martial art."

After reading a few pages, Meng Zhangqing's eyes shifted slightly, "It is an Earth Grade secret technique!"

"Its effect..."

The further Meng Zhangqing read, the more terrifying he felt it was.

It could actually temporarily amplify strength!

This technique has five layers in total!

When cultivated to perfection, it can boost combat power tenfold!

Tenfold?

What does that mean?

For martial artists, even a two or threefold increase is already outrageous, let alone tenfold!

And it is well known that such secret arts granting temporary power boosts always come with severe side effects.

But this technique has none.

Its only drawback is that it requires vast resources, some of which are extremely rare.

Yet Meng Zhangqing felt little worry.

For within the system's rules, all cultivation methods and secret arts are categorized under the Martial Arts section.

Therefore, as long as he obtains a Provincial-grade Martial Arts Mastery Card in the future,

he can easily raise his proficiency.

"I never expected my aunt to possess such a terrifying secret art."

"Exquisite Great Luo Heaven indeed lives up to its name, brimming with prestige."

Meng Zhangqing carefully closed the manual and placed it back into the wooden box.

He had already memorized its entire contents.

As for practicing it himself?

He had no such intention.

How could such a terrifying secret art be mastered so easily?

The resources required for just the first layer were mostly unfamiliar to him, clearly of immense value; it was better to wait quietly for a Mastery Card.

"The word 'Linglong' appears again."

Meng Zhangqing suddenly realized this point.

The previous "Linglong Han Yue Sword Scripture" also began with the word "Linglong."

Could this be the name of a faction?

Information in the Cultivation World is not that widely circulated.

Living in Tianlingzhou, the only information Meng Zhangqing could access concerned Tianlingzhou itself.

As for other provinces, he knew nothing about them.

Even within his own province, his knowledge was far from complete.

This was the limitation of information.

After all, his family's merchant house was not some top-tier merchant house that roamed the Cultivation World.
