Chapter 129: Power Surge! (2/3, Requesting Flowers!)

After distancing himself from Meng Zhangqing.

Bai Suxi stopped on a small hill.

She turned around and gazed toward Meng Zhangqing's direction.

Every meeting with Brother Meng was always so brief; it would be wonderful if it could last longer.

"True friends in life are hard to find; intimate companions are even rarer."

"You're lucky to have met a good person."

The aged voice remarked, rare in its sentiment.

In her time,

if a nine-leaf Blue Spirit Grass had been placed before her, even fellow sect members would have killed each other.

Morality? Friendship?

Merely illusory things.

Yet in Meng Zhangqing's eyes, there was not a trace of greed.

Only a hint of surprise.

He glanced once, then looked away.

He outright rejected Bai Suxi's proposal.

"Yes, Brother Meng is an excellent, excellent person."

In Bai Suxi's watery, beautiful eyes, even admiration surfaced.

She was merely a girl of over ten years old.

At this age, encountering a man like light, how could one not feel reverence?

"But I must also work harder!"

Bai Suxi retracted her gaze and clenched her small fist, "Brother Meng has already reached the Sea Opening Realm—I cannot fall too far behind him!"

"Master, after the secret realm, teach me the true lineage."

"Alright."

――

Meng Zhangqing stood firm in place.

A gentle wind brushed by, stirring his robes.

He opened his character panel.

Prepared to fuse his attributes.

Although Bai Suxi had given him the manual, nothing compared to directly fusing attributes.

"System, fuse attributes."

"Ding!"

"Fusion begins!"

The moment he spoke, an immense flood of insight surged into his mind.

All of it centered on the essence of the Sea of Darkness Return-to-Origin Art.

The quantity far exceeded that of the Linglong Hanyue Sword Scripture.

It took over half an hour to fully absorb it all.

Huh!

Meng Zhangqing exhaled softly and slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes glowed with intense excitement.

This technique was indeed Earth-grade.

But that was not what excited him.

The key was the content!

The Sea of Darkness Return-to-Origin Art was not a combat technique, but a pure cultivation method.

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

It has five layers in total.

Each layer completed doubles the output, but upon reaching the fifth layer, a qualitative transformation occurs—a full tenfold increase.

As is well known,

everyone's blood qi or true qi capacity differs only slightly.

Thus, controlling true qi consumption during battle is also a crucial factor.

But if one's true qi volume is sufficiently vast, one gains an inherent advantage in victory!

Like the sword strike that just killed the Celestial Wind Congyun Tiger.

It was a full-power strike.

Though extremely powerful, the remaining true qi could barely sustain one more strike.

Afterward, he could only rely on weaker sword techniques.

"No wonder when I saw Bai Suxi, her blood qi felt unnaturally abundant."

Meng Zhangqing's gaze flickered.

Logically, after being chased by the Celestial Wind Congyun Tiger for so long, her blood qi should have been nearly depleted.

But Bai Suxi was the complete opposite.

Extremely full.

As if she hadn't consumed much at all.

It was because of the "Mystic Sea Return to Origin Art"!

The human danhai is a mysterious place where true qi is nurtured.

Only through continuous contemplation can the total amount of true qi be gradually increased.

This is also the cultivation of the Sea Opening Realm.

The "Mystic Sea Return to Origin Art" does not help martial artists contemplate the danhai.

Instead, it simulates a danhai-like existence within the five viscera of the body, allowing true qi to be stored there.

Know that true qi can only exist within the danhai and cannot remain long in the meridians or other places.

Therefore, the concept of this art is extremely sound.

"A genius—someone who could even create such an art!"

Meng Zhangqing felt deep admiration.

He now fused Bai Suxi's mastery of arts, and the "Mystic Sea Return to Origin Art" has reached the fourth level.

This means a danhai has been simulated in the lungs, spleen, liver, and kidneys.

Only the heart remains.

Once all five viscera return to origin, the amount of true qi stored will undergo a qualitative transformation.

"System, use the Earth-grade Martial Art Mastery Card!"

"Enhance the 'Mystic Sea Return to Origin Art'!"

"Ding!"
