Chapter 19: Perfection, Task Hall, Seven Meridians Disciple!
Afterwards, they chatted randomly for a while.
Qin Fang happily left.
Before leaving, he reminded Meng Changqing not to forget about the sect missions.
The inner sect missions were not as frequent as the outer sect ones.
Completing one per year was sufficient.
The rewards were also relatively generous. Generally speaking, even completing two ordinary missions would be enough to exchange for pills or martial arts techniques, and so on.
After Qin Fang left, Meng Changqing opened the character panel.

【Remaining Rewards: Two cards for Proficiency in Profound-grade Martial Arts】
“It’s a pity I didn’t trigger any additional rewards.”
Meng Changqing felt somewhat regretful.
These additional rewards were actually not inferior to some attributes.
It’s just that they appeared randomly.
It’s not guaranteed every time.
But Meng Changqing wasn’t a greedy person. Having acquired “Sword Steps” was already good enough.
With a slight movement of his mind, he chose to fuse.
[The merge was successful!]
As soon as the voice fell, numerous insights flooded his mind.
They were all about “Sword Steps”.
“Sword Steps” was a Profound-grade elementary footwork technique.
It primarily focused on the rapid changes in body movements within a small space, rather than being used for long-distance travel or pursuit.
By using this footwork technique in conjunction with swordsmanship, it could enhance the power of swordsmanship!
Mysterious and unpredictable!
“Let’s give it a try.”
After fully absorbing it, Meng Changqing displayed it on the spot.
He saw that his speed was extremely fast.
His footsteps were like the wind, almost leaving afterimages!
Within a few meters, he moved swiftly, unpredictably.
“What a great footwork!”
After stopping, Meng Changqing calmed the blood and energy within his body, his eyes bright.
Indeed, it was a Profound-grade elementary footwork technique. Just based on its flexibility alone, it was enough to help him evade most attacks, or even launch sneak attacks.
There was no need to withstand attacks like he did when facing a group of wolves.
Now that he had reached the Aperture Connecting Realm,
the “Bronze Armor Technique” was somewhat insufficient.
It might be enough to deal with ordinary martial artists, but here in the inner sect, they were all elites!
“I’ll make friends with another body-refining practitioner in the future.”
“Like Senior Xia back then.”
A smile appeared on Meng Changqing’s face.
Then he looked at the bottom of the panel.
He still had two cards in Profound-grade Martial Arts unused.
It happened that it could be used on “Sword Steps”.
When the body-refining aspect was lacking, he had to rely on flexible footwork to make up for it.
Just a minor attainment in “Sword Steps” already showed such remarkable effects. What’s more, if it reached perfection.
Moreover, “Sword Steps” wasn’t just about footwork. It could also complement swordsmanship.
So spending the proficiency cards on it wouldn’t be a loss.
“Use two proficiency cards to enhance ‘Sword Steps’!”
[The consumption is complete, the upgrade is successful!]
A much larger insight than before surged into his mind.
It was all about the essence of Sword Steps.
“Sword Steps, Perfection!” Meng Changqing slowly opened his eyes.
Then he took a step forward.
In an instant, his figure disappeared from where he stood.
When he reappeared, he was already ten meters away.
“This speed… is so fast!”
Meng Changqing was amazed.
In just a split second, he had crossed such a long distance.
If used against an enemy, they would hardly have time to react.
“Not bad, not bad.” Meng Changqing became excited.
Although this Perfection-level Sword Steps consumed quite a bit of energy.
Just this one step nearly depleted one-tenth of his blood and energy.
But it didn’t matter.
With such power, he could defeat opponents with just one move.
If caught in a protracted battle, that would only mean he was too weak.
After changing into clean clothes, Meng Changqing decided to leave the sect and return to his family.
Without resources, it would be difficult to advance in cultivation.
Although there was spiritual energy in the world, he couldn’t absorb it yet.
He had to reach a higher realm first.
However, before leaving the sect, Meng Changqing chose to visit the Task Hall.
Since he was already out, he might as well do some missions.
With his current strength, most missions wouldn’t be difficult.
Moreover, the rewards for inner sect missions were not low.
Arriving at the Task Hall,
there were obviously more disciples here compared to outside.
Meng Changqing took the opportunity to look at their character panels.
They were all at the Aperture Connecting Realm.
There was no sign of the Sea Cleaving Realm.
But that was normal too.
The cultivation of the Sea Cleaving Realm was different from that of the Aperture Connecting Realm.
It belonged to the core of the sect.
Naturally, they wouldn’t come to a place like the Task Hall. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
“Fourth Grade, Fourth Grade… Oh, finally there’s a Third Grade.”
Meng Changqing looked at their root bone aptitude.
He found that most of them were Fourth Grade.
Occasionally, he would see a few Third Grades.
It seemed that the rumors of geniuses being everywhere in the inner sect were not entirely true.
Or maybe, most of the people here were promoted from the outer sect? The real geniuses weren’t here?
Without thinking too much, Meng Changqing shifted his focus to other attributes.
Regarding root bone, unless it was First Grade, it wasn’t of much use to him.
So he could only focus on other attributes.
Such as talent, bloodline, martial arts, and so on.
“Radiant Sun Sword Art, sounds quite aggressive. This should be from the Martial Arts Peak, where the main cultivation is sword techniques.”
“Human Formation Technique, it’s a formation technique, should come from the Formation Peak.”
Meng Changqing identified them one by one.
It also deepened his understanding of the inner sect.
There were seven main peaks in the inner sect.
Also known as the Seven Veins of Taixuan.
They were the Main Peak, Punishment Peak, Medicine King Peak, Purple Mist Peak, Martial Arts Peak, Formation Peak, and Spirit Peak.
Each peak had its own main cultivation sect.
He was particularly interested in the martial arts of the Spirit Peak and Purple Mist Peak.
The former was his current main cultivation, swordsmanship.
While the latter specialized in body refinement.
There was a rumored treasure, which could rival his own “Spirit Sword Canon”.
It was called the “Imperial World Through Heaven Scripture”!
But the disciples of the Purple Mist Peak in the Mission Hall couldn’t possibly possess it.
This kind of technique must be practiced by extremely core disciples.
Of course, Meng Changqing didn’t think about it in that direction.
Because it was unrealistic.
In his opinion, having a Profound-grade elementary body refining martial art was enough.
However, after looking around, he didn’t find any disciples from the Purple Mist Peak, which was truly a pity.
After confirming that there was no significant value in making friends, Meng Changqing went to the counter to select a mission.
But just then, an excited voice rang out.
“Look, the brothers from the Shi family are here!”
