Chapter 65: All of the Family's Resources Will Prioritize You! (Begging for Flowers!)

The family hall.

When Meng Zhangqing arrived, Gu Hongyu was sitting in the main seat, drinking tea while reading a miscellaneous book.

"If you don't come over soon, I'll have to go to your room and check your breath."

Gu Hongyu put down the book and said slowly.

"It's rare to have time to rest properly."

Meng Zhangqing walked over and sat beside her.

He poured himself a cup of tea.

"True."

Gu Hongyu nodded, then pushed a jade box toward Meng Zhangqing. "Inside are ten Spirit-Fusion Elixirs of the Second Rank, suitable for cultivators in the Aperture Opening Realm."

"They were originally prepared for two clan elders."

"But now they belong to you."

"Spirit-Fusion Elixir, is it?"

Meng Zhangqing reached out and took it.

As the son of a merchant society, he naturally knew some of the elixirs available on the market.

Once an elixir enters a ranked tier, its price becomes quite high, let alone one of the Second Rank.

And among Second-Rank elixirs, the Spirit-Fusion Elixir is considered quite precious because its effect is excellent and it can be taken multiple times.

Unlike other elixirs, where the effect is best only the first time and diminishes thereafter, a phenomenon known as medicinal resistance.

Ordinary cultivators in the Aperture Opening Realm simply cannot afford such elixirs.

Most are still using First-Rank ones.

Only great families and great merchant societies possess such strength.

"Will the clan elders have any objections?"

Meng Zhangqing did not open the box.

"They requested it themselves,"

Gu Hongyu smiled and shook her head. "In their words, they are already old, their aptitude is ordinary; although taking this elixir would increase their cultivation base,"

"the improvement would certainly not be significant, making it a waste of a precious resource."

"And you, as the future of the Meng family, naturally deserve all resources poured into you."

"Good."

Meng Zhangqing said nothing more, simply committing it to memory.

These ten Spirit-Fusion Elixirs were probably one-seventh of the family's entire foundation.

After all, the Spirit-Fusion Elixir is very precious.

And given his current Bone and Root Rank, these ten elixirs should be enough to cultivate to the 7th stage of the Aperture Realm.

The higher the Bone and Root Rank, the faster and more efficient the absorption of elixirs will be.

Very little will be wasted.

If it were before, let alone ten, even forty would have been useless.

The speed was slow, and the absorption rate was low.

"You shouldn't be in a hurry to return to Fanzong Sect, right? I'll send people out these next two days to purchase various resources."

"After all, your return was so sudden that many things were not prepared."

Gu Hongyu said.

"I can only stay for five or six days."

Meng Zhangqing replied.

"So urgent?"

Gu Hongyu was somewhat surprised.

"Mm."

Meng Zhangqing then told her about the secret realm.

"I see."

Gu Hongyu understood. "Then you must indeed hurry back. A secret realm is a place of heavenly caves and blessed lands, a source of great fortune; there are too many good things there."

"Obtaining even one of them at random could boost your strength."

Seeing Gu Hongyu's reaction, Meng Zhangqing became even more certain of his earlier guess.

Had it been someone else, hearing the words "secret realm," they would likely have been extremely excited.

But his aunt remained relatively calm.

There was little fluctuation in her expression.

Only someone who has seen much would react this way.

"Very well, I will urge them to hurry; in five days, I will have everything ready for you."

Gu Hongyu said.

"Then thank you, Aunt."

"After being away for two years, you've become somewhat distant,"

Gu Hongyu rolled her eyes. "Saying 'thank you' at every turn; we are family, what is there to thank for? You are now the backbone of the Meng family, and in the future, you will likely step into the Sea-Cleaving Realm, transcending the mundane."

"All family resources must naturally prioritize you."

Upon hearing this,

Meng Zhangqing could only gently rub his forehead.

That is the logic.

But this can also be considered his habit.

Gratitude must be repaid, and grudges must be avenged.

"Let it be for now. Rest well these two days; there are some things I must personally handle to prepare for you."

Having finished speaking, Gu Hongyu rose and left.

Only Meng Zhangqing remained, sitting alone in the family hall.

"This is the benefit of a family."

"At least one need not run about and fight desperately for cultivation resources."

"Only when you are outstanding enough will everything gravitate toward you."

Among scattered cultivators, why is it so difficult for extreme experts to emerge? Apart from innate aptitude, it is mostly because too much time is wasted in seeking resources.

And someone like him can stay quietly in his room to cultivate day and night.

Whatever one wants, one has.

"Cultivate!"

Picking up the jade box, Meng Zhangqing rose and left the hall.

His cultivation base has stagnated for so many days; it is time to continue advancing.

There is still a little over a month before the Zong Sect's secret realm opens.

Let's see if I can raise a few more realms.

The seven veins of the Great Profound are gathering all the heroes; the competition will surely be incredibly fierce.
