Chapter 170: Unexpected Gains, New Demon Sect, White Lotus Sacred Sect!
The changes were indeed quite significant.
It seemed that not only had he progressed rapidly, but the two brothers had also advanced similarly.
Actually, these top-tier geniuses always progressed quickly. It’s just that his own advancements had been so outrageous, making their progress seem slower in comparison.
Compared to last time, the two brothers had awakened two more bloodline abilities.
His interest in bloodline abilities had waned now.
After all, bloodline abilities were just martial skills.
The techniques and martial skills he was cultivating were no weaker, even stronger.
Moreover, the “Royal Star Manual” was a top-tier body-refining scripture, no weaker than the bloodline abilities of the Stone Human bloodline.
Therefore, with limited opportunities, he preferred techniques and martial skills.
His gaze shifted downward to the next section.
Both brothers had perfected the first volume of the scripture. One must admit, the Stone Human bloodline was indeed powerful, greatly enhancing efficiency in body-refining cultivation!
Their progress was rapid.
The first volume was only an Earth-level high-grade technique, but the second volume was a Heaven-level beginner technique!
To cultivate the scripture, one must complete the first volume before moving to the second.
The first volume was the foundation.
Without a solid foundation, progress would be difficult.
Perfecting the first volume meant the brothers had formed their Star Bodies.
Star Bodies, constructed by the power of stars, had extremely high defense, capable of withstanding some weaker Heaven-level martial skills.
As for the second volume’s Yin-Yang Art,
It absorbed the power of the sun and moon,
Transforming into an even stronger Star Yin-Yang Body.
Its defense would be even more formidable!
Martial skills of the same level would have a hard time breaking through!
Unless enhanced by other factors, like sword intent or a sword body.
“I need to find a way to increase their favorability.” Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered.
First, he needed to get his hands on the first volume of the scripture.
“I knew it, Senior Brother Meng prefers to be called ‘Senior Brother.’ ‘Martial Uncle’ feels too distant!
Shi Yao said excitedly.
【Shi Yao’s favorability has increased to three stars!】
【Attributes to be selected.】
The system’s voice echoed in his mind.
Upon hearing this, Meng Changqing was momentarily stunned.
How did his favorability increase?
What did I do or say?
Meng Changqing quickly recalled.
It seemed he had just said, “Privately, call me Senior Brother, no need for so many formalities.”
Could such words really increase favorability?
Isn’t it a bit too easy?
“Recently, Shi Yao often said, Senior Brother Meng has become the Young Sect Master and now a Martial Uncle. He feared they wouldn’t see each other and would grow distant, no longer friends. Check latest chapters at novｅlfire.net
“Now it seems, Senior Brother Meng is still the same Senior Brother Meng, unchanged.”
Shi Guang said with a smile.
Meng Changqing realized.
Unlike Shi Guang, Shi Yao was… um, simpler.
Simply put, he had a child’s mentality.
But that was normal, considering he was only eight.
For a child, a friend remaining a friend without changing due to external factors was a reason for happiness.
Hence, his favorability increased.
【Shi Guang’s favorability has increased to three stars!】
【Attributes to be selected!】
The system’s voice echoed again in his mind, making Meng Changqing even more surprised.
Because Shi Guang was much smarter than Shi Yao, it wasn’t easy to increase his favorability.
The earlier system prompt was only for Shi Yao.
But unexpectedly, Shi Guang’s prompt came not long after.
Meng Changqing smiled.
Honestly, this was an unexpected joy.
He had been pondering how to increase their favorability, and a single sentence solved it.
Indeed, one must maintain their original heart, not letting strength and status changes make them forget their past self; becoming arrogant, looking down on everything.
Fortunately, he had always maintained his original mindset, not changing much.
Otherwise, not only would he have missed today’s unexpected gain, he might have lost two close friends.
“Don’t worry, no matter what happens, we will always be friends.” Meng Changqing raised his fist.
The brothers exchanged glances, then excitedly raised their fists too.
Their fists lightly bumped together.
It felt like a bond was being formed.
“Senior Brother Meng, come, sit on my shoulder.” Shi Yao pointed.
With his current size, he could indeed easily carry Meng Changqing.
“Alright.” Meng Changqing laughed and jumped up.
“Let’s go!” Shi Yao slightly bent his legs, then with a boom, leaped towards the ancient city.
In an instant, it felt like a meteor was falling.
Fengling Ancient City,
One of the more famous ancient cities in Tianyun Prefecture.
Because here, there was a top-tier power.
Their ancestor reached the Life and Death Realm three hundred years ago.
Calculating the time, the Chen Family ancestor was now approaching old age.
The arrival of the Tai Xuan Sect’s cloud ship attracted no attention.
Because compared to Tianyun Prefecture, Tianling Prefecture was ranked lower and geographically more remote, so its powers were not well-known.
But the appearance of the Shi brothers drew much attention.
Such sizes, are they really human?
Some taverns couldn’t accommodate the two.
Shi Yao was anxious, stomping his foot.
He had already smelled the food.
Meng Changqing smiled, shaking his head, and told them to wait outside while he went in alone.
Sitting by the window, Meng Changqing drank the city’s special medicinal wine.
It tasted good; rich and aromatic.
With added spirit herbs, it greatly benefited the body.
But for someone like Meng Changqing, in the Life and Death Realm, it had no effect.
“A new demon power has risen in Tianyun Prefecture recently, very strong. Several sects were wiped out, not a single survivor!”
“Oh? With the Southern Genius Battle approaching, a demon power dares to cause trouble at such a critical moment? Don’t they want to live?”
“What’s this demon power called?”
“I think it’s… White Lotus Sacred Sect!”
