Chapter 17

Every state in the Southern Region has its own Hidden Dragon Ranking.

There are a total of one hundred people.

As one of the major forces in Tianlingzhou, the sect losing six people at once is indeed a significant loss.

No wonder they are opening the secret realm early to strengthen the disciples' power.

"When the secret realm opens, the geniuses in the inner sect should all go."

Meng Zhangqing's mouth curled up slightly.

For him, natural treasures are certainly important, but making friends is the top priority.

On normal days, these geniuses are in secluded cultivation and basically never come out.

Now he has finally found an opportunity.

However, before the secret realm opens, he still has to hurry to improve his strength.

As mentioned before.

Strength is the key to making friends.

"Many thanks to Senior Brother Qin for informing me, otherwise I might have really missed it."

Coming back to his senses, Meng Zhangqing said.

He was just about to return to his family; if he were to linger and stay too long, he would have missed it.

The family land is actually not far from the sect.

It would take about ten days to go back and forth.

"It's just a small matter, Junior Brother Meng doesn't need to take it to heart."

Qin Fang immediately laughed.

He was even more delighted inside; it seems his reminder was very correct.

Bonus points!

His previous impression of Meng Zhangqing all came from Sun Haishan's oral account.

But seeing him with his own eyes today.

He had no more doubts in his heart.

This Meng Zhangqing is a monster.

He is still in the budding stage and has not been valued by the sect, but in the future, he will definitely become a dazzling figure in the sect.

So he must hurry to build favorability.

Otherwise, he will really be a "small character" who doesn't catch his eye in the future.

Meng Zhangqing did not know what Qin Fang was thinking.

If he knew, he would definitely not be able to help but laugh out loud.

Good fellow, are we mutual-grinding here?

He needs to improve the favorability of his friends, and as a result, his friends are also grinding his favorability.

Truly interesting.

Is this a two-way rush?

"By the way, Junior Brother Meng, I have an ungracious request..."

His smile subsided, and Qin Fang was a bit embarrassed.

"Senior Brother Qin, please speak freely."

Meng Zhangqing said.

"It's just... er..."

Qin Fang seemed to have difficulty speaking, and finally gritted his teeth, "I have some doubts about the 'Wind-Thunder Sword Art'; could you teach me?"

After he finished speaking.

Qin Fang's hands under his sleeves clenched.

To be honest, he felt a bit ashamed inside.

After all, he mainly came to guide Meng Zhangqing.

Who would have thought that it would be the other way around.

His comprehension is limited, and the Scripture Library Elder cannot teach him every time; now that there is a Perfection-level one in front of him, if he misses it, it would be too much of a loss.

Although opening his mouth to say this is truly shameful.

It loses the status of an old hand in the sect.

But!

Is face more important than strength!

Besides, this person is Junior Brother Meng!

A monster-level figure, he must be convinced!

"Of course."

Meng Zhangqing was slightly stunned, then smiled.

Is this considered feeding back?

He obtained the Great Success-level 'Wind-Thunder Sword Art' from Qin Fang, and after elevating it to perfection, he went back to teach him.

"Many thanks, Junior Brother Meng."

Qin Fang immediately showed joy.

He then stated his doubts one by one.

With Meng Zhangqing's current sword Dao attainment, it was enough to easily answer these questions.

He could even draw inferences and extend them.

Giving Qin Fang quite a bit of inspiration.

――

A moment later.

Qin Fang's face was full of sudden enlightenment.

He cupped his hands and bowed to Meng Zhangqing.

His attitude was sincere and from the bottom of his heart.

"Many thanks to Junior Brother Meng for clearing up my doubts; if not for you, I would have been stuck at this level for at least five or six years."

"Now, as long as half a year, half a year later, I will definitely be able to step into the Perfection realm!"

Although he understood some things.

But it was only some; Meng Zhangqing said a lot, and he hadn't fully comprehended the rest, so he would have to spend time pondering it.

"Senior Brother Qin is too serious; aren't we friends? Between friends, why is there a need for such words?"

"If you have any questions you don't understand in the future, just come to me."

Meng Zhangqing smiled slightly.

Seeing this, Qin Fang was quite moved.

Having stayed in the inner sect for so many years, he had actually seen many geniuses.

But geniuses.

Most are arrogant.

They are like clouds in the sky, not easily lowering their heads to look down at the creatures on the ground.

But this Junior Brother Meng is different.

Despite having such high talent, he is so approachable.

He even tirelessly explained the sword technique doubts for him for so long.

It is truly... too rare.

"Ding!"

"Favorability increased to two stars!"

"Obtained Attribute: 'Sword Step' (Minor Success)!"

"Do you want to merge immediately?"

The system's voice rang out in his mind.

"No."

Meng Zhangqing chose to refuse.

When he was explaining just now, he didn't think too much; it was purely to clear up doubts.

He didn't expect that it would directly increase favorability.

But thinking about it, it was normal.

What he said was all the essence.

It was definitely a great help to Qin Fang.

Qin Fang's favorability increasing was within reason.

Although he hadn't come into contact with the 'Sword Step' martial technique before, just hearing the name, it was a movement-type, and he happened to be lacking this part of martial techniques.

It could be considered a pillow arriving when he was sleepy.

It made up for the deficiency.

Moreover, martial techniques in the inner sect are not something you can learn just because you want to.

Except for the initial 'Wind-Thunder Sword Art', if you want to learn others, you have to rely on contribution points!

Qin Fang probably did a lot of missions to exchange for this martial technique.

He hadn't done a single mission.

Yet he got it in advance.
