Chapter 194

Didn't get it, then.

True, how could luck be that good every time, getting exactly what you want straight out of so many attributes?

But it seems an extra reward was triggered.

Attribute Acquisition Card?

What is this thing?

Ask if you don't understand.

He directly called out to the System in his heart.

"Using an Attribute Acquisition Card allows you to directly obtain a desired attribute from a friend."

Hearing this, a look of joy instantly flashed in Meng Zhangqing's eyes.

Good heavens, truly losing in the east but gaining in the west.

Although he didn't obtain the desired attribute during the addition process, he could still get it by relying on the Attribute Acquisition Card.

"System, acquire the Great Free and Unfettered Profound Metal Sword Art."

Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Zhangqing said.

"Ding!"

"Consumed one Attribute Acquisition Card!"

"Obtained Great Free and Unfettered Profound Metal Sword Art (Minor Success)"

Hearing the sound, Meng Zhangqing let out a light breath.

He did not fuse it immediately; after all, the current situation was not appropriate.

"Junior Brother Meng has only recently entered the true disciple layer and has been cultivating all along, so you probably don't know much about the true disciple ranks, right?"

Wei Qing said.

The purpose of coming today was to get to know each other and strengthen their relationship.

"Yes, I hope Senior Brother Wei will explain a bit."

Meng Zhangqing withdrew his thoughts and nodded slightly.

Having just arrived, he indeed wasn't very clear, and he had already planned to go out today to find out.

But Wei Qing's arrival

simply saved him countless efforts.

Truly a good person; I'm even a bit embarrassed to kill you.

Never mind, I'll just bury the soil thicker for you later.

Indeed, my heart is still relatively kind.

However, Meng Zhangqing didn't necessarily have to act himself; since he had obtained the attribute, he could simply report it to the Zong Sect.

But there was a problem.

It would be hard to explain how he discovered it.

You must know the Zong Sect's inspection of demonic arts is very strict.

Every year, they must check the flesh and blood qi at the Elders of each branch; if even a trace of demonic art is found, they are arrested on the spot.

And Wei Qing has been able to mix around under the Zong Sect's nose for so many years, obviously possessing certain methods.

If the Zong Sect fails to detect it then, he might turn around and bite back.

Bearing the false charge of slandering a fellow disciple.

"Wait, I remember obtaining a secret technique from Aunt."

"It is named the Palm Lotus Demonic Art Suppression Technique."

"Aunt used this technique back then to check whether one cultivates demonic arts."

"But what if this technique also fails to detect it? After all, the Zijiazong Sect is a major power and should not lack secret techniques for checking demonic arts."

In a short time, Meng Zhangqing thought of many things.

Never mind, we'll deal with it when the time comes.

"The number of true disciples in our sect is about five hundred and something."

"Excluding the Sect Master Peak, each branch has only around eighty people."

Wei Qing had already begun to speak in a leisurely manner.

Hearing this, Meng Zhangqing's heart stirred slightly.

There are three to four thousand inner sect disciples, yet only five hundred and something true disciples; the numerical gap is indeed large, but it is normal, after all, how easy is it to step into the Sea Opening Realm?

Moreover, for true disciples,

there seems to be an age limit; once one exceeds thirty-five years old, the true disciple status is automatically cancelled.

This seems to correspond to that Hidden Dragon List.

The Hidden Dragon List is aimed at young geniuses under thirty-five years old, from the Sea Opening Realm to the Creation Realm.

Wei Qing kept speaking.

Covering every detail, it also rapidly deepened Meng Zhangqing's understanding of the true disciple layer.

For example, exactly which geniuses belong to each branch.

Which true disciples are powerful.

The division of true disciple strength, and so on.

Half an hour later.

"That's about all."

Wei Qing spoke until he was truly dry-mouthed and parched.

I'd like to drink some tea.

Yet there was nothing before him.

He could only purse his lips, pretending he wasn't thirsty.

If not for the sake of building closer ties with Meng Zhangqing, he wouldn't have wasted so much breath.

"Wei Senior Brother's account has truly opened my eyes."

Meng Zhangqing said.

It was the truth.

He had already thought the True Disciples were extremely strong.

But after hearing Wei Qing's words, he realized he had still underestimated them.

Those at the top ranks were truly too powerful.

Yet Meng Zhangqing did not belittle himself.

His foundation was far from shallow—even stronger than most True Disciples.

Once he completes the fusion of the Great Freedom Mysterious Golden Sword Art.

Within the Sea Opening Realm, he had full confidence he would be invincible at his level!

"By the way, Wei Senior Brother, you've said much, but said very little about the Master Peak—why is that?"

As if remembering something, Meng Zhangqing asked.

"The Master Peak?"

Wei Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. "The Master Peak lineage has always been very mysterious, rarely accepting disciples—it seems tied to our sect's ancient history."

"I don't know the details myself."

"I see."

Meng Zhangqing nodded slightly.

Although Zanmenzong Sect is ranked among the Four Great Powers of Lingzhou alongside Juling Sect, Yan Yang Valley, and Fengyun City,

the other three powers only rose gradually within the last five hundred years.

In contrast, Zijiazong Sect seems to possess a remarkably long history.

Deeply rooted.
