"Yes, I brought back a whole cartload from the Paoli clan—the trunk was packed full." Wei Zhao did not conceal it, though he said nothing about the stones' condition.
"So many?!" Aunt Qing was startled. "If that's the case, then if you have spares, I suggest you give a few to Xiaoxiao. She has no level barrier; with energy stones in hand, they could help her rapidly break through to the Great Perfection of late Heaven-rank peak strength!"
"That works too?" Wei Zhao had not expected the energy stones to have such a use.
"It does. It is only that the cultivation world has few energy stones left, and what remains is concentrated in the Five Luminaries Sect. Although the Five Luminaries Sect is..." Here Aunt Qing suddenly fell silent. She did not know how much Wei Zhao knew and did not want him drawn in, lest it bring trouble.
"What about the Five Luminaries Sect?" Wei Zhao pressed. "The Inheritor Plan must be led by the Five Luminaries Sect, no? Wouldn't they give the energy stones to those inheritors to use?"
"If there were surplus, perhaps they would. But right now they must concentrate on raising the strength of a cultivator called the 'Medium,' so he certainly takes priority," Aunt Qing said. "As for Xiaoxiao... the relationship between our Ice Palace and the Five Luminaries Sect is very delicate at present, and I do not know whether we can obtain any in the end. Of course, a small amount—one or two stones—would not be of much use."
"Then how many energy stones would Xiaoxiao need to raise her strength to the Great Perfection of late Heaven-rank peak?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Energy stones the size of a fist—about twenty or so," Aunt Qing said. "From Yellow rank to Earth rank, a single stone suffices. But from Earth rank to the Great Perfection of late Heaven-rank peak, it takes about twenty. The higher the rank, the more spiritual qi of heaven and earth is required—you understand the principle, don't you?"
"I understand. Twenty? Fine, no problem—I'll have thirty sent to you!" Wei Zhao had plenty of energy stones on hand; thirty was truly nothing.
"What?! Thirty? There's no need for that many!" Aunt Qing was startled. "Xiaoyi, if you give them all to me, what about your friend's side?"
"It doesn't matter. I still have more," Wei Zhao said. "Oh, but please don't discard the used energy stones—bring them back to me. I have a use for them."
"Used ones? Does the Paoli clan still need to recover used energy stones?" Aunt Qing was slightly puzzled. "In our Ice Palace's warehouse, there should be over a hundred spent, discarded energy stones. If you need them, have someone take them back as well—they are of little use sitting here with us."
