護花近衛 - 第1079章 實力迅速提升 - 翰墨軒

After all that fuss, all she had to do was take off one jacket?

Wei Zhao had told Qiu Lingshan to remove her jacket only so that the meridians on her wrist would be exposed; rolling up her sleeve would have served just as well. But Wei Zhao had merely been teasing her.

"This... is all? Then what do we do now?" Qiu Lingshan's entire plan had been thrown into disarray. She could only look at Wei Zhao in bewilderment and ask.

"Go sit on the sofa. That's all." Wei Zhao said flatly.

With that, Wei Zhao went over and sat down on the sofa first. Qiu Lingshan hesitated for a moment, but in the end she sat down beside him.

"All right, and then?" Qiu Lingshan asked.

Wei Zhao said nothing more. He simply took her hand. That made Qiu Lingshan blush slightly again: her first time holding hands with someone of the opposite sex, gone, just like that... so unromantic!

"Circulate your internal cultivation art yourself." Having said that, Wei Zhao paid her no more attention. He closed his eyes and entered the jade pendant space.

Wei Zhao had discovered earlier that the energy within the jade pendant space could be channeled through his own body as a medium and transmitted into another person, without affecting his own energy. This pleased him a good deal: at long last, he could raise someone else's strength without dropping a rank himself.

Of course, that also meant it could no longer serve the purpose of destruction and rebirth. Nor could Wei Zhao gain any benefit while transmitting true qi into another.

But Wei Zhao had only recently advanced in rank, and had not yet touched the barrier to the late Profound Rank. So even if he went through destruction and rebirth again, it would be of no use. Only when he truly touched the barrier to the late Profound Rank would another round of destruction and rebirth produce its proper effect.

Even so, Wei Zhao already possessed a cheat ability no one else could match. Many people might touch the very edge of the barrier to the next rank, yet search their whole lives in vain for the moment of breakthrough. Wei Zhao was different: so long as he accumulated enough true qi within his body, he could break through the barrier with effortless ease and enter the next rank.

Once inside the jade pendant space, Wei Zhao silently began to circulate the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art.

Qiu Lingshan was rather puzzled. Circulate her internal art now? The spiritual qi of heaven and earth in her own home was very thin. To cultivate here, for an expert of the late Yellow Rank, ought to be of little use.

She wanted to ask Wei Zhao what in the world was going on, but seeing that he had already closed his eyes, she could only let it go for the moment. Following his meaning, she silently began to circulate the Song family's internal cultivation art.

But the very next moment, an expression of extreme shock appeared on Qiu Lingshan's face.

For she suddenly felt a stream of pure, potent true qi surging from Wei Zhao's body into her own, pouring in without cease.

What sort of situation was this? Was Wei Zhao transmitting his power to her?

Wei Zhao was passing the true qi within his body to her?

Qiu Lingshan was a martial artist herself, and naturally knew something of the rules governing the use of true qi. Generally speaking, the true qi produced by each internal art differed, and the two could not be used interchangeably. At best, the meridians would be damaged; at worst, the two kinds of true qi would repel each other and explode, endangering one's life.

But Wei Zhao's true qi seemed not to behave that way. Once it flowed into Qiu Lingshan's body, it was swiftly absorbed and merged, as though this true qi had been made precisely for her internal art.

That alone was enough to leave Qiu Lingshan astonished. How could Wei Zhao's true qi be used by her?

Suddenly, Qiu Lingshan recalled that time in the hospital, when Wei Zhao healed Liu Bojia's wounds; he had used his true qi to do the healing.
