Chapter 2337 — Of Course It's No Problem
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Yes, begin." Wei Zhao nodded and placed both hands over the pulse points at Han Jingyi's wrists, while Han Jingyi began to condense pill fire, preparing to simulate pill-refining.
Soon, Han Jingyi's pill fire was condensed, and she began the formal simulation of pill-refining. Wei Zhao, meanwhile, circulated the second layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Mastering Art, preparing to replenish true qi into Han Jingyi's body. But very quickly, Wei Zhao discovered a problem!
The problem was that Han Jingyi's body simply did not absorb his true qi. The second-layer heart method of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Mastering Art circulated only within Wei Zhao's own body, and the true qi was likewise confined to circulating within Wei Zhao; it never entered Han Jingyi's body at all!
"Wei Zhao, there's no true qi?" Han Jingyi had sensed this too. She refined pills entirely according to the formula and timetable laid out on the tablet computer, without using her own wood-attribute to perceive the changes in the ingredients inside the cauldron, so she was able to spare attention to speak.
"Yes, indeed there isn't..." Wei Zhao smiled wryly. "When you refine pills, can you simultaneously circulate the heart-method oral formula that pill refiners use during cultivation?"
"That I can't..." Han Jingyi shook her head. "Jingjing can only circulate one heart-method oral formula for condensing pill fire. I can't simultaneously circulate the cultivation heart-method oral formula!"
"Then I suppose it won't work..." Wei Zhao released Han Jingyi's hands and gave a rather gloomy sigh. "Only when you circulate that cultivation heart-method oral formula can I channel true qi into you. When you circulate other oral formulas, my true qi won't be automatically absorbed by you. It seems my idea cannot be realized..."
Earlier, Wei Zhao had been delighted by his sudden inspiration, but now that the test was done, he found it had failed, and he was instantly very disappointed.
"Then should I still simulate?" Han Jingyi asked.
"Let me try channeling directly from your qihai acupoint and see if that works... though I may need to touch your abdomen..." Wei Zhao said after a moment's hesitation.
"Oh, all right." Han Jingyi nodded.
"Um... you're a girl. Is it all right for me to touch you like this?" Seeing that Han Jingyi did not seem to understand the proprieties between men and women, Wei Zhao added a sentence.
"Of course it's no problem. If Wei Zhao touches me, naturally it's no problem. Anyone else, no," Han Jingyi said, quite naturally.
"I... you..." Wei Zhao truly could not figure out why this Han Jingyi, who had suddenly appeared and become his neighbor, was so close to him. It was as if everything he said was right, and she worshipped him utterly. It was truly a little strange.
Still, Wei Zhao could sense from Han Jingyi's gaze that she bore him no ill will whatsoever, and she truly had no cultivation strength at all—she did not seem to be some enemy's mole or the like.
First, if she had strength, she could never have hidden it from Wei Zhao's golden finger. Second, she could not possibly cultivate a pill refiner's heart-method oral formula—every cultivator seemed able to focus on cultivating only one heart-method oral formula—and Han Jingyi had leveled up right under his eyes, with no possibility of fakery.
