Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger

Chapter 79: Earth-grade Martial Technique, Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition, Farewell to Elder Custodian!

“I choose an Earth-grade Martial Technique.” Meng Changqing didn’t hesitate at all.

Although he already had two Earth-grade techniques in his hands, one was for increasing the amount of True Qi, and the other was a secret technique. Neither of them was a martial technique.

In the past, Meng Changqing might not have been so urgent.

But now it was different.

Among the true disciples, especially those who ranked higher, the majority probably had an Earth-grade martial technique.

He would be at a disadvantage if he didn’t have one.

So he had to strengthen his foundation as soon as possible.

“Good.” Elder Ye took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Meng Changqing.

The token was entirely silver with the Tai Xuan symbol on the front and the character ‘Earth’ on the back.

“With this token, you can go to the Hidden Martial Pavilion and exchange it with Elder Custodian for a preliminary Earth-grade martial technique.”

Elder Ye smiled as he spoke.

At the same time, there was a hint of desire in his eyes.

Although he was an inner sect elder, his position was actually the lowest among the elders.

There was no way around it. It was because of his insufficient potential.

Close to forty years old, still wandering at the Sea Cleaving Realm without breaking through.

In the end, he could only choose to become an inner sect elder.

So it was natural that precious Earth-grade martial techniques were beyond his reach.

In fact, not all true disciples in the sect could practice Earth-grade martial techniques.

On the contrary, it was quite rare.

Because for any power, Earth-grade martial techniques were core treasures that could not be easily taught to disciples.

It required consideration from many aspects before being taught.

“Okay.” Meng Changqing nodded.

“Also, there’s something else I want to tell you.”

As if remembering something, Elder Ye slapped his head.

“Elder Ye, please go ahead.”

“In three months, it will be the Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition. The specific time hasn’t been fully determined yet, so just wait for the announcement,” Elder Ye said.

“The Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition?” Meng Changqing was slightly stunned.

“Huh? Don’t you know?” Elder Ye felt somewhat surprised by Meng Changqing’s reaction. As an inner sect disciple, he should be aware of the Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition.

But considering that Meng Changqing had just entered the inner sect not long ago, it was normal for him not to know.

“The so-called Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition is a grand event where disciples from the seven veins of the Tai Xuan Sect gather to compete and compare their skills.

“On the one hand, it assesses the strength of the disciples of each vein.

“On the other hand, it also determines the allocation of resources for the sect’s future.

“Anyway, it’s very important.”

Elder Ye briefly introduced.

“I see.” Meng Changqing suddenly realized.

This kind of competition seemed to be a competition between disciples, but more importantly, it was a matter of resource distribution.

After all, resources were limited.

The higher the level of resources, the scarcer they were.

As members of the same sect, they definitely couldn’t fight to the death. So they could only use this method.

“Moreover, I heard that this Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition is a bit different this time.” Elder Ye suddenly looked somewhat mysterious.

“Oh? I’d like to hear more about it.”

“It is said that the Sect Master has the idea of selecting a successor from this competition.”

At these words, Meng Changqing’s pupils contracted slightly.

Successor?

Wasn’t that the next Sect Master?

After so many years, the sect still hadn’t found a successor?

“The Sect Master is still very young, only over a hundred years old.” Seeing Meng Changqing’s doubt, Elder Ye seemed to understand and explained with a smile, “Although there isn’t much time left until the Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition, I believe with your strength, you can achieve a decent rank in the competition.

“Try to advance as much as possible. The rewards from the competition are far higher than those from the Xianqing Realm. Third-grade, fourth-grade, and even fifth-grade resources are available.”

“Fourth and fifth-grade resources?” Meng Changqing’s hands tightened slightly.

Although he had gained quite a few resources in the Xianqing Realm, they would soon be consumed. As for the family, they couldn’t provide him with any more help.

From now on, he could only figure it out on his own.

And now, the Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition unexpectedly offered such generous rewards.

He couldn’t afford to miss out on that!

“Good luck. I hope to see you shine in the competition and rank among the best.”

“I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first,” Elder Ye smiled and said.

Then he turned and left.

Although he said so, he was just talking.

Different from the inner sect level, the true disciples was truly deep.

Those top geniuses ranked high for a reason — they were nurtured by each vein from a young age, and their combat power could be quite terrifying.

Meng Changqing’s potential was indeed high, but he had just entered the true disciple ranks.

The Sea Cleaving Realm was not the same as the Aperture Connecting Realm, and the progress of cultivation couldn’t be so fast.

“Take care, Elder.”

After Elder Ye left, Meng Changqing looked around.

He remembered that this place used to be just a small courtyard, but now he had a Spirit Peak.

The gap was indeed significant.

Indeed, in any world, strength was paramount. Only by constantly becoming stronger could one enjoy better things.

The summit of the Spirit Peak was quite spacious.

It felt as if it had been flattened by a single sword strike.

There were stretches of bamboo forests, swaying with the wind and emitting a rustling sound.

There were also artificial mountains, ponds, pavilions, and towers.

The environment could be considered quite elegant.

After familiarizing himself with the surroundings a bit, Meng Changqing left.

He needed to visit the Hidden Martial Pavilion and quickly exchange for a preliminary Earth-grade martial technique!

With his current comprehension, self-practice wouldn’t be a problem.

But with the system, he could make friends.

It saved time and effort.

Efficiency was important in cultivation!

After exchanging for the martial technique, he could openly use it in the future without worrying about its source.

The sect was very strict about the entry and exit of Profound-grade martial techniques, let alone Earth-grade ones.

He also needed to take some time to complete some sect tasks.

He had obtained the “Heavenly Dominator Body” in the secret realm, so he needed to exchange it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to use it openly.

Familiar with the route, Meng Changqing once again came to the Hidden Martial Pavilion.

There were fewer disciples here today.

Perhaps it was because the secret realm had just ended.

The Elder Custodian was still lying on the rocking chair, covering his face with a book, gently swaying, looking quite relaxed.

Meng Changqing had been envious of this elder for a long time.
