Chapter 1079 — Strength Soars Rapidly: Wei Zhao's Intervention Only Leaves Qiu Lingshan More Puzzled
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
So then, Wei Zhao's true qi really could be used by others?
Fine, even if Wei Zhao's true qi could be used by her, Qiu Lingshan knew well how precious true qi was. Every bit of it was cultivated through bitter toil; a tiny scrap of true qi might cost countless rare treasures. Yet in this short while, the true qi Wei Zhao had sent into her already equaled the fruits of months of her own cultivation.
Wei Zhao was actually willing to give up so much? At that thought, Qiu Lingshan felt that Wei Zhao truly treated her well. And she had let her mind wander down the wrong path earlier. So Wei Zhao's so-called method of raising strength was nothing like what she had imagined. It was not dual cultivation, but a one-sided transfer of energy into her.
A wave of gratitude surged in Qiu Lingshan's heart. She asked herself: had she and Wei Zhao really reached such a relationship? One had to know that even in many great sects, when fellow disciples cultivated the same art, one party would never casually pass all the true qi he had painstakingly cultivated to another without reservation.
For the hardship of cultivation was truly beyond imagination. The higher the rank, the harder any sliver of progress became. Who would give away his own true qi to another?
As far as Qiu Lingshan knew, the only ones who supported each other and passed true qi back and forth in cultivation were her own grandfather and grandmother. But they were husband and wife, an old married couple who had shared a lifetime of hardship together, naturally of one mind in wishing to run the Song family well. But she and Wei Zhao... they could not even be called a couple now, could they? How could Wei Zhao be so willing to give so much for her?
One had to know that every time Grandmother helped Grandfather raise his strength, she lost a good deal of true qi. Grandmother had long been an expert at the peak of the mid Profound Rank, yet each time after helping Grandfather advance, she would lose some of her strength. That was one of the reasons she had made no further progress in all these years.
Thinking this, Qiu Lingshan looked at Wei Zhao with eyes full of tenderness. Her liking him had not been in vain after all. He was so good to her, and she was deeply moved...
But after a while, the expression on Qiu Lingshan's face became even stranger.
Because Wei Zhao had still not stopped transmitting true qi into her. His true qi was still pouring over in an endless stream, and this had already exceeded her expectations. Even when Grandmother transmitted true qi to Grandfather, she never sent so much in one go.
Yet Wei Zhao seemed to keep sending true qi over without end.
Qiu Lingshan frowned slightly. Surely nothing would go wrong? But seeing Wei Zhao sitting there with eyes shut and saying nothing, she could only swallow the words on her lips.
In the end, Qiu Lingshan let out a sigh, closed her eyes, and continued to circulate her family's internal art, absorbing the true qi Wei Zhao sent her way.
Originally, Qiu Lingshan had only just reached the late Yellow Rank, and had not yet stabilized her foundation. But now her strength was growing at a rate almost visible to the naked eye.
