Chapter 33

As for the other two, their attribute panels were not as good-looking as Kong Linxue’s.

Alchemy mastery was only Grade 1.

Also, in the martial arts column, the “Fire-Controlling Burning Sun Technique” was missing.

It seems there is a significant gap between these two and Kong Linxue.

Seeing that Meng Zhangqing seemed to be staring at her, Kong Linxue felt somewhat embarrassed.

A blush flashed across her snow-white cheeks.

But for some reason, there was no anger in her heart at all.

There was even some...

Noticing that it was somewhat quiet, Meng Zhangqing also reacted.

It was mainly because Kong Linxue’s attribute panel was truly excellent.

He had looked for a while longer.

“By the way, how should those fellow disciples be handled?”

Meng Zhangqing pointed toward the Blood Refining Formation.

Although the Blood Refining Formation was broken and the extracted essence and blood had returned to those disciples’ bodies, it would likely still cause serious damage.

“Yes, yes, yes, we must hurry and regulate their meridians and blood and qi.”

Kong Linxue realized.

Then she hurriedly wanted to go over.

As an alchemist, she was naturally also proficient in medical theory.

But she had only taken one step when she felt pain all over her body.

As the strongest of the three,

she had naturally been treated as a priority by Bei Qianke.

If not for that protective secret artifact, she would likely have already fallen into a state of severe injury and coma.

Meng Zhangqing subconsciously supported her.

For a moment, a faint fragrance entered his nose, and upon contact, she felt as soft as jade.

“Senior Sister Kong, are you alright?”

Meng Zhangqing said immediately.

“I’m fine.”

Kong Linxue’s face turned slightly red.

Up until now, she had never had such intimate contact with any man.

Fortunately, the moonlight was dim.

No one could see her expression clearly.

“I have some healing elixirs here; I don’t know if they will be of use to you.”

Meng Zhangqing opened the storage ring and took out some elixirs his aunt had prepared.

Among them were even Grade 2 ones.

Very precious.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Meng, but as alchemists, how could we not have any on us?”

Kong Linxue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

The tenderness in her eyes as she looked at Meng Zhangqing grew stronger.

Grade 2 elixirs were not ordinary items.

To be able to take them out so decisively.

It showed that Junior Brother Meng’s character was also very good.

He was a very, very good person.

“Senior Sister, you rest here for now; Junior Brother Meng, please look after her. We two will go to the Blood Refining Formation to treat them.”

Tan Zihan’s gaze shifted between the two, and she smiled slightly.

Then she pulled the other person and left.

The two of them were in a better state.

“Mm.”

Meng Zhangqing nodded.

This was just right; he could also find a way to add Kong Linxue as a friend.

With the mastery of a Grade 2 Alchemist.

In the future, he wouldn't need the family to provide resources; he could even give back.

“Junior Brother Meng, you must have just entered the inner sect not long ago, right?”

Leaning against the ancient tree next to her, Kong Linxue sat down slowly.

She was actually not much older than Meng Zhangqing.

At most two or three years.

That is, around twenty, the prime of her youth.

“Mm, about a month or so ago.”

Meng Zhangqing also sat on the ground.

The night wind blew, slightly moving his hair.

Under the soft moonlight,

the handsome young man was like a character only found in stories.

Full of spirit, elegant as jade.

Kong Linxue was stunned for a moment.

“And Senior Sister Kong?”

Meng Zhangqing asked in return.

Hearing this, Kong Linxue came back to her senses.

She hurriedly looked away and answered, trying to appear calm: “I met my master when I was ten. My master saw that my aptitude was good, so she brought me into the Profound Heaven sect.”

“Then Senior Sister is lucky.”

Meng Zhangqing said.

This was the truth.

Many people might have good aptitude, but if they don't meet a mentor, it’s useless.

Even if discovered later,

ten or even dozens of years have already passed in a hurry.

Wasting too much, too much time.

In the early stages of martial arts cultivation, even breaking through major realms doesn't add much to one’s lifespan.

However, Meng Zhangqing was slightly puzzled.

From Kong Linxue’s words, he could tell that Kong Linxue had backing in the sect.

Since that was the case, with her aptitude, she shouldn't still be lingering at the seventh level of the Opening Aperture realm.

In any case, she certainly wouldn't lack resources, and she might even be using the better kind.

At the very least, she should have stepped into the Sea Opening realm.

The doubt was only for a moment.

Meng Zhangqing didn't delve into it.

Because Kong Linxue was not an ordinary warrior; she was an alchemist.

Alchemists focus on alchemy.

They have to spend a lot of time researching and learning.

So the progress of cultivation in the early stages is slow.

That was understandable.

“Yes, I am lucky.”

A knowing smile appeared on Kong Linxue’s face.

There are many living beings in this world, and not everyone is as lucky as she is.

"By the way, Junior Brother Meng, do you have any needs regarding elixirs?"

Collecting her thoughts, Kong Linxue said earnestly, "I am truly indebted to you for saving my life this time; it is a kindness akin to a rebirth. As a disciple of Medicine King Peak, I must make a return."

"Senior Sister, you are too serious. We are all of the same sect; why be so formal?"

Meng Zhangqing shook his head.

"One thing is one thing, another is another. Such kindness cannot be ignored."

Kong Linxue, however, kept a serious expression on her pretty face.

"Is that so?"

Seeing Kong Linxue so resolute, Meng Zhangqing found it hard to refuse. After a moment of thought, he said, "Since that is the case, I do have one small request. I wonder if Senior Sister could agree to it."

"Please, speak."

"Although I mainly cultivate the Dao of the sword, I am also quite interested in the art of alchemy, so I would like to make friends with you, Senior Sister."

"In the future, if I have any confusion, I hope you will not hesitate to teach me."

Meng Zhangqing said with anticipation.

This could also be considered paving the way for his own identity as an alchemist in advance.

"Friends?"

Kong Linxue was stunned.

She never expected Meng Zhangqing's request to be this; she had thought he would ask for some high-grade elixir.

"Yes, I wonder if you are willing, Senior Sister?"

Meng Zhangqing asked.

"Of course I am willing."

Kong Linxue replied hurriedly.

In fact, she had already been thinking about this, otherwise how could she deepen their connection and increase their interactions in the future?

She did not want to have no further contact with an outstanding talent like Junior Brother Meng.

It was just that, being a young woman and it being their first meeting, it was not easy for her to bring it up.

Now that Meng Zhangqing had taken the initiative, she was naturally ten thousand times willing, fearing she might miss the chance.

"Ding!"

"Friend added successfully!"

"Current favorability: Two Stars"

"Obtained attribute: 'Fire-Controlling Sun-Burning Art' (Minor Achievement)!"

"Obtained attribute: Second-grade Alchemy Attainment!"

The system's voice rang out in his mind.
