Chapter 79: I Wonder If Sister Kong Would Be Willing? (Requesting Monthly Tickets!)
Seeing Meng Zhangqing staring at her constantly, Kong Linxue suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
A faint blush flickered across her snow-white cheeks.
Yet for some reason, she felt no anger at all.
In fact, she felt a little...
Sensing the sudden silence, Meng Zhangqing also came to his senses.
Mostly because Kong Linxue's attribute panel was truly impressive.
He had simply looked a little longer.
"By the way, how should we handle those fellow sect members?"
Meng Zhangqing pointed toward the Blood Refining Array.
Although the Blood Refining Array was broken and the extracted blood returned to the disciples' bodies, they likely still suffered severe injuries.
"Yes, yes, we must quickly regulate their meridians and qi-blood."
Kong Linxue suddenly understood.
She immediately tried to move over.
As an alchemist, she naturally understood medical principles.
But as soon as she took one step, she felt pain all over her body.
As the strongest of the three,
she naturally became Bei Qianke's primary target.
Had it not been for her protective secret artifact, she would already have fallen into serious injury and unconsciousness.
Meng Zhangqing instinctively supported her.
In that moment, a faint fragrance entered his nose; upon contact, her skin felt warm and supple as jade.
"Sister Kong, are you alright?"
Meng Zhangqing said at once.
"I'm fine."
Kong Linxue's face flushed slightly.
Until now, she had never had such intimate contact with any man.
Fortunately, the moonlight was hazy.
No one could see her expression.
"I have some healing elixirs here—I wonder if you might find them useful."
Meng Zhangqing opened his Storage Ring and took out some elixirs prepared by his aunt.
Among them were even second-rank ones.
Extremely precious.
"Thank you, Brother Meng, but as alchemists, how could we not have any ourselves?"
Kong Linxue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
Her gaze toward Meng Zhangqing grew even softer.
Second-rank elixirs are no ordinary thing.
To produce them so decisively,
shows that Brother Meng's character is also quite admirable.
He is a very, very good person.
"Sister Kong, rest here for now. Brother Meng, could you please watch over her? My companion and I will go to the Blood Refining Array to treat them."
Qin Zihan's gaze shifted between the two, then she smiled faintly.
Then she pulled the other girl away.
They were both in decent condition.
"Mm."
Meng Zhangqing nodded.
Perfect—this way, he could find a way to add Kong Linxue as a friend.
With her second-rank alchemy expertise,
he would no longer need family resources in the future—perhaps even be able to support them in return.
"Brother Meng, you've only just joined the Runei Sect, haven't you?"
Leaning against an ancient tree, Kong Linxue sat down slowly.
She was not much older than Meng Zhangqing.
At most two or three years.
Around twenty, the very prime of youth.
"Mm, about a month and a half ago."
Meng Zhangqing also sat down on the ground.
A gentle night breeze drifted by, stirring the tips of his hair.
Beneath the soft moonlight,
the handsome young man looked like a figure straight from a tale.
Vigorous and elegant, radiant as jade.
Kong Linxue was momentarily stunned.
"What about you, Sister Kong?"
Meng Zhangqing asked in return.
Hearing this, Kong Linxue immediately came to her senses.
She quickly averted her gaze and, forcing calmness, replied, "When I was ten, I met my Master. Seeing that my aptitude was not bad, Master brought me into the Profound Heaven Sect."
"Then Senior Sister is fortunate."
Meng Zhangqing said.
This was the truth.
Many people might have good aptitude, but without meeting a Bole, it is useless.
Even if discovered later.
By then, a dozen or even several dozen years had already rushed by.
Too much, too much time had been wasted.
In the early stage of martial cultivation, even breakthroughs in major realms do not increase lifespan by much.
However, what Meng Zhangqing was slightly puzzled about was this.
From Kong Linxue's words, it could be known that Kong Linxue had backing within the Zong Sect.
In that case, with her aptitude, she should not still be lingering at the 7th stage of the Aperture Realm.
After all, resources and such were certainly not lacking; she even used the better kinds.
She should at least have stepped into the Sea-Cleaving realm.
The doubt lasted only an instant.
Meng Zhangqing did not pursue it further.
Because Kong Linxue was no ordinary martial artist; she was a Pill Refiner.
Pill Refiners focus on refining the Dao of Pills.
They must spend vast amounts of time researching and learning.
Therefore, progress in cultivation base is slow in the early stages.
This is also understandable.
"Yes, I am fortunate."
A heartfelt smile appeared on Kong Linxue's face.
