Friendship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all just illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in this Meng Zhangqing’s eyes, there was not a trace of greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was merely a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at it, then looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Bai Suxi’s proposal, he chose to refuse it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Senior Brother Meng is a very, very good person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Bai Suxi’s water-like beautiful eyes, a look of admiration even appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was only a young girl in her teens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this age, meeting a man like a light, how could she not feel reverence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, I must also work harder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Suxi withdrew her gaze and clenched her small fists. “Senior Brother Meng has already reached the Sea Opening Realm; I cannot fall too far behind him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, after the secret realm, please teach me the true inheritance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>――\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing stood still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold wind blew, and his sleeves fluttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his character panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He prepared to fuse the attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Bai Suxi had given him the secret manual, nothing was as direct as fusing it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“System, fuse attributes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fusion starting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the words fell, an incredibly vast amount of insight surged into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all the essence of the *Nether Sea Returning Origin Technique*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quantity was so great that it far exceeded the *Exquisite Cold Moon Sword Scripture*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a full half-hour to absorb it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing exhaled softly and slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes was deep excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique was indeed Earth-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was not the key to his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was the content!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The *Nether Sea Returning Origin Technique* was not a martial skill, but a pure cultivation technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The function of this technique was to increase the total amount of blood-qi or true qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had five levels in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each level practiced would double it, but upon reaching the fifth level, a qualitative change would occur, a full ten-fold increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was well known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s blood-qi or true qi power was not much different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, during combat, the control over true qi consumption was also a very critical factor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if one’s true qi volume was sufficient, then one was inherently in a winning position!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the sword strike that killed the Sky Wind Cluster Cloud Tiger just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That could be considered an all-out strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was very, very strong, the remaining true qi could at most support one more strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he could only use some weaker sword moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder when I saw Bai Suxi, I felt her blood-qi was unreasonably vast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing’s eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, after being chased by the Sky Wind Cluster Cloud Tiger for so long, her blood-qi should have been bottoming out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Suxi was the exact opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if she hadn’t consumed much at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out to be because of this *Nether Sea Returning Origin Technique*!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human dantian is a mysterious place that nurtures true qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by constantly comprehending can one gradually increase the total amount of true qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also the cultivation of the Sea Opening Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The *Nether Sea Returning Origin Technique* does not help the martial artist comprehend the dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it simulates the existence of something similar to a dantian in the five internal organs of the body, allowing true qi to be stored there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that true qi can only exist in the dantian and cannot stay in the meridians or other places for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the logic of this technique was very correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A genius, to be able to create even such a technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing felt admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had now fused Bai Suxi’s technique mastery, and the *Nether Sea Returning Origin Technique* was already at the fourth level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that dantian-like structures had already been simulated in the lungs, spleen, liver, and kidneys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the heart remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the five organs returned to the origin, the amount of true qi that could be stored would undergo a qualitative change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“System, use the Earth-grade martial skill mastery card!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Upgrade the *Nether Sea Returning Origin Technique*!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Consumed Earth-grade martial skill mastery card *1”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*Nether Sea Returning Origin Technique* has been upgraded to the fifth level!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing felt his heart shake violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if heaven and earth were being opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There seemed to be an indescribable connection between the five organs, connecting to each other, and the simulated dantian expanded with a roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The amount of true qi it could store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had reached ten times that of a true dantian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This technique is extremely difficult to cultivate because it requires many strange resources, and even some parts of demonic beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai Suxi is blessed with great luck and can find them one after another, but I estimate I cannot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing sensed the changes in his body, the corners of his mouth rising slightly. “However, I have mastery cards, which is the same, and much simpler.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only takes a ‘ding’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Meng Zhangqing began to mobilize his true qi, gathering it toward the five organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the dantian, sensing the decrease in true qi, actively began to replenish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Meng Zhangqing’s estimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would take about several hours to fill it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are two more mastery cards; I can also upgrade the *Exquisite Great Luo Heaven*.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The value of this secret technique is almost equal to the *Nether Sea Returning Origin Technique*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a pity that, like the *Nether Sea Returning Origin Technique*, it must be practiced to the last level, the Great Perfection, to have a significant change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, he had to practice it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“System, upgrade *Exquisite Great Luo Heaven*!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Consumed Earth-grade martial skill mastery card *2”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*Exquisite Great Luo Heaven* has been upgraded to the second level!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large amount of insight instantly surged into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly absorbed by Meng Zhangqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there were only two levels, it didn’t take much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second level of *Exquisite Great Luo Heaven* meant it could increase combat power by two times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its main logic was to burn true qi, causing the quality of the true qi to surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thereby causing the power of various martial skills used to be strengthened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a sense, this *Nether Sea Returning Origin Technique* and *Exquisite Great Luo Heaven* are a perfect match.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One increases the volume of true qi, the other increases the quality of true qi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just a pity that *Exquisite Great Luo Heaven* is only a secret technique, not a cultivation technique; it can only increase it for a short time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing couldn’t help but feel some regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, with these two techniques and secret arts, his strength could be said to have skyrocketed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a newcomer to the Sea Opening Realm, he had the confidence to clash with a peak Sea Opening Realm martial artist!\u003C\u002Fp>",1282,"2026-06-16T01:57:58.319Z","2026-06-16T01:58:13.594Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
