Chapter 2787 — The Jade Pendant's Substitute: "We Can Talk Over the Phone..." Qiu Lingshan Wanted to Keep It Brief

"All right, then. In that case, come to work tomorrow." After thinking it over, Qiu Lingshan agreed. Now that Tang Jucheng's matter had been settled, she no longer had to avoid Tang Yuqi. And as a famous detective from overseas, he could serve as a case-solving expert for the criminal investigation team. He would cost them very little and improve their efficiency. Why not?
"Heh-heh. From now on, I'll be your subordinate, so you'll have to look after me!" Tang Yuqi grinned. "Tonight, I'll treat my beautiful superior to some late-night food and build a better relationship!"
"Let's skip the late-night food. It's already very late." Qiu Lingshan glanced at the time on her watch.
"It isn't that late, and there's a night market food stall just up ahead. Let me thank you for helping me find my second uncle." Tang Yuqi pointed into the distance.
"All right." Qiu Lingshan considered it, then nodded. Since Tang Yuqi would no longer be probing her about Tang Jucheng as he had before, she no longer needed to guard against him. Having a meal with him felt considerably easier now...
These past few days, Wang Xinyan had been able to attend school as usual. On the surface, there seemed to be no problem at all. In truth, however, the matter of the jade pendant continued to trouble Wei Zhao. The Orchid Mustard Jade Spirit Grass could treat the symptoms but not the root cause; it only kept the pendant going for a short while. Given enough time, it would still fail.
As for the jade pendant, Wei Zhao simply could not think of any way to solve the problem. He had even considered circulating the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Formula to replenish the pendant's energy. Unfortunately, the pendant was not a cultivator and could not practice internal energy, nor was it a spirit beast capable of absorbing energy on its own.
The situation left Wei Zhao helpless. He possessed abundant energy but had no way to transfer it to the jade pendant. The pendant's condition also reminded him of the energy stone in Sun Jingyan's possession. He wondered whether the energy stone might be useful to Wang Xinyan.
The last time Xiao Shiyi had come looking for Sun Jingyan, there had been very little energy left in the stone. Sun Jingyan had therefore stopped using it for cultivation and set it aside for the time being. Wei Zhao brought the energy stone over and began examining it carefully.
Sun Jingyan's energy stone had a slightly brighter luster than the one Yu Dake had brought the last time, but it was already extremely dull. In other words, the energy stone and the jade pendant were probably similar. The more energy they contained, the brighter their color became. Once the energy within had been used, the color grew increasingly dull until the stone could no longer be used.
Wei Zhao then tried to see whether he could transfer the energy within his own body into the energy stone. The result, however, was another failure. It seemed that the universal true qi in Wei Zhao's body was still different from the natural spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or pure energy. Although his universal true qi could transform into other kinds of true qi or energy, the prerequisite was that the recipient be a cultivator or a spirit beast. Only then could the recipient guide the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Formula and convert Wei Zhao's universal true qi into the true qi or energy it needed. With inanimate objects such as the jade pendant and the energy stone, however, that was impossible.
