"Luoyue, we all know that much already, but the crux of the matter is how do we repair his meridians and dantian? Wei Zhao's dantian is shattered—there is no way for him to refine pills!" Uncle Qing smiled wryly.
"I'm not talking about pills…" Sun Luoying shook her head. "Have you forgotten our Sun family's internal-energy cultivation method?"
"You mean you?" Uncle Qing was taken aback, then asked, somewhat puzzled, "But right now, aside from healing my wounds, you cannot heal anyone else's, can you?"
"Not me…" Sun Luoying shook her head.
"You mean Jingyi?" This time Uncle Qing finally understood what Sun Luoying was driving at. He slapped his forehead and said in sudden enlightenment, "How could I have forgotten your family's exclusive internal-energy cultivation method? If Jingyi steps in, then Mr. Lin's problem can be solved as easily as splitting bamboo!"
"But to repair a dantian, the second layer of the method is required—the first layer will not do." Sun Luoying shook her head. "I am only at the first layer now, so I cannot repair a dantian either."
"Eh? Doesn't the second layer heal two people? Why would repairing a dantian also require the second layer?" Uncle Qing asked, somewhat perplexed.
"A dantian is no less intricate than a person's meridians. It is only that cultivators with shattered dantians are rare, so it was never set apart as a special case. In truth, when the second layer is said to heal two people, it means treating ordinary injuries in two people—meridians included, but not the dantian." Sun Luoying said, "Only if Jingyi pushes herself will this method be viable."
"Jingyi's cultivation method has actually already reached the second layer…" Wei Zhao spoke up at this point, putting an end to Uncle Qing and Sun Luoying's debate.
"What? She's already reached the second layer?" Uncle Qing and Sun Luoying were both startled. "Truly? How is her cultivation speed so fast?"
"Truly. But she relied on that energy stone your sect brought back," Wei Zhao said. "Uncle Qing, I even asked you about it at the time."
"So it was that energy stone!" Uncle Qing said in sudden understanding. "Wonderful. Xiaoyi, then hurry and get in touch with Jingyi. Though I am her father, we have not yet been reunited… so it would be awkward for me to bring these matters up with her."
As for Wei Zhao, though by now it was certain that Sun Jingyi could repair his meridians and dantian, he felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, this would cost Sun Jingyi two of her healing quotas at once. From then on, apart from healing him exclusively, she would be able to do little else—was that not as good as ruining her?
From now on, her future cultivation would be entirely for his sake. Wei Zhao truly felt embarrassed about it, and so he asked, "Could we repair only the dantian and not the meridians?"
Sun Luoying was slightly taken aback, but still said, "Repairing only the meridians and not the dantian is fine, but repairing only the dantian and not the meridians is not. To repair a dantian, one must go through the meridians. If your meridians were sound, then naturally you could repair the dantian alone, but as things stand, that is not possible."
"So that's how it is…" Wei Zhao was filled with helplessness, unsure whether he should call Sun Jingyi.
"Mr. Lin, you are the savior of our whole family—Jingyi too. If not for your selfless rescue in the Wulonghaote Mountains, she likely would not be alive today. She will certainly agree," Uncle Qing said, seeing Wei Zhao's hesitation and urging him on.
