Chapter 182: The Great Self-Reliant Profound Metal Sword Art, and the Shock of the Pavilion-Keeping Big Shot

Meng Zhangqing had basically seen all the martial arts techniques in the Martial Arts Pavilion.

He could confirm that without those on the panel, the meaning was quite obvious.

The cultivation methods and martial arts techniques known by the Pavilion-Keeping Elder were absolutely of Earth Grade!

Only Earth Grade items would not be placed in the Martial Arts Pavilion!

Moreover, just by the names of these martial arts techniques, their grade did not seem low.

It was just that wanting to add the Pavilion-Keeping Elder as a friend was truly quite difficult.

First, the person was likely a hidden big shot cultivating in seclusion here.

Second, there was a huge gap in seniority between them.

The difficulty of making friends was definitely several times that of others!

However, although difficult, there must be a way to solve it.

This was ready-made gold placed right before his eyes, shining brightly.

Simply obtaining one martial arts technique attribute would be a huge profit.

"Greetings, Elder."

Approaching closer, Meng Zhangqing's expression became serious, and he slightly cupped his hands.

Hearing this, the Pavilion-Keeping Elder immediately removed the ancient book from his face.

Meng Zhangqing only discovered today that the book's name was "The Carefree Chronicles of the Wind and Moon Hermit".

Looking at this name, why did it feel like it had that kind of flavor?

"Hmm? It's actually you."

The Pavilion-Keeping Elder casually set down the ancient book, seemingly not at all concerned about it being discovered.

"Elder remembers me?"

Meng Zhangqing was stunned.

This was something he had completely not expected, after all, they had only met once before.

So many disciples entered and exited the Martial Arts Pavilion every day; logically, the Pavilion-Keeping Elder should not have taken it to heart and would have forgotten it in an instant.

Unless that disciple appeared before him frequently.

"Not bad, I have some impression."

The Pavilion-Keeping Elder said casually.

Mainly because back then, he smelled a trace of 'momentum' on this fellow; although he could not confirm it, he still formed an impression in his heart.

"Not bad, actually breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm, the progress is quite fast."

The Pavilion-Keeping Elder raised his eyebrows slightly.

Remember... what realm was it last time? The 5th stage of the Aperture Realm, or the 6th? Never mind, can't remember clearly.

It was only a little over a month; even for the small Aperture Opening Realm, this was already very fast.

"Yes, in the Mystic Clarity Realm, I had some opportunity."

Seeing the Pavilion-Keeping Elder trending towards small talk, Meng Zhangqing immediately chimed in; chatting more would allow them to gradually become familiar with each other.

"However, stepping into the Sea Opening Realm also counts as transcending the mundane; future cultivation will become difficult. You can do more of the Zong Sect's missions; they provide resources and can also temper your will."

"Do not neglect the improvement of will, spirit, state of mind, and other aspects."

"The further one goes in cultivation, the more important they become."

Perhaps thinking this was a good seedling, the Pavilion-Keeping Elder spoke a few more words.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, how would he say so much?

"Thank you for the Elder's reminder."

Meng Zhangqing nodded.

These words were indeed very reasonable; any powerful strength requires an even stronger will to control it, otherwise the final result is either qi deviation or exploding body and death.
