Chapter 1959 — Kinship and Interests
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
How could Wei Zhao fail to understand what Sun Jingyan was saying? Families and those sects were much the same. He thought back to that time when the Ice-Sugar Girl discovered Feng Xiaoxiao's constitution and was so excited — to secure Feng Xiaoxiao and make her the heir of the Ice Palace, she had not hesitated to humble herself and bargain with someone as insignificant as him, a mere Mystic-rank expert...
"Sometimes there's no help for it. Your grandfather may be an old fox, but his starting point is the good of the whole family," Wei Zhao said. "In the minds of old men like that, the family's interests come before everything. So you can't really say he's wrong. Some things simply can't be divided into right and wrong."
"Exactly. So to escape that fate, I have to become strong!" Sun Jingyan said. "I want to work hard at **. Once my Sun family technique reaches the second level, I'll be a core figure in the Sun family — even Grandfather won't be able to make me do things I don't want to do. And if I reach the fifth level, I'll be able to transfer true qi to any ** at all, with no restrictions whatsoever. Then my standing would be something else entirely... Of course, for the Sun family, the fifth level is nothing but a dream. No one has reached it yet."
"Your ** technique is far too peculiar, and what you're raising isn't the Heaven-Earth-Mystic-Yellow rank of strength, so I'd like to help you but I'm powerless to do so," Wei Zhao said. "I can't just swiftly raise your strength the way I did for Wu Chengtian and the others."
"I know." Sun Jingyan nodded. "The Sun family technique can only be raised slowly by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. There's no other way."
Wei Zhao nodded. The energy within his body was of the purest, most refined kind, but it was not plain spiritual energy of heaven and earth — it was true qi converted from that spiritual energy through the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. Though this true qi had the same effect as spiritual energy and could be converted into other true qi for others to use, the prerequisite was the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art as the converting technique!
Therefore, only the universal true qi, aided by the technique, was equivalent to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and could be given to others — unlike ordinary spiritual energy, which ** could absorb and refine directly.
The two were wondrously alike in function, yet fundamentally different. If Sun Jingyan absorbed his true qi, she would likely end up changed into the same kind as himself; but she did not know the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, so she naturally could not convert true qi. As a result, from then on Sun Jingyan's true qi could only be used by herself.
Put plainly, Sun Jingyan herself now seemed to be something like an energy-storage device: her body could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and that spiritual energy could then be absorbed and refined by other **. Of course, this was only Wei Zhao's conjecture — he would have to study the specifics before he knew for certain.
