Chapter 1911 — Failed
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Yang Huaijun lived in the police department's guesthouse, where he occupied a suite. Until he bought a house of his own, this was his temporary home.
The guesthouse staff all clearly knew Yang Huaijun, so they naturally thought nothing of him bringing someone back. Assuming he was meeting a witness or an informant, no attendant would disturb them.
"Let's begin right away. We've got experience from last time," Wei Zhao said with a smile.
"Alright!" Yang Huaijun nodded forcefully, sat down in front of Wei Zhao, and extended both hands. Wei Zhao locked his fingers over Yang Huaijun's meridians, and Yang Huaijun began circulating his internal cultivation technique.
Wei Zhao was well-versed in elevating one's strength. He activated the first level of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Commanding Art, and the omnipotent energy within his body transformed into the true qi that Yang Huaijun needed, flowing ceaselessly into Yang Huaijun's meridians...
Yang Huaijun's strength smoothly broke through from the peak of the late Yellow stage into the Mysterious stage, climbing all the way—to the peak of the early Mysterious stage, the middle Mysterious stage... then the peak of the late Mysterious stage! Perhaps because Wei Zhao's own power had increased, Yang Huaijun did not require compressed true qi to go from the peak of the late Yellow stage to the early Mysterious stage. Though there was still a barrier, Wei Zhao helped Yang Huaijun breach it with ease.
In other words, although Yang Huaijun felt the pain of breaking through a bottleneck, it was absolutely nothing like the breathtaking ordeal that Chen Yuxuan, Qiu Lingshan, and the others had gone through.
The peak of the late Mysterious stage—Yang Huaijun had now reached it, but Wei Zhao still did not stop. A sudden idea occurred to him: what if he used the second level of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Commanding Art to create compressed true qi and help Yang Huaijun break through the Mysterious stage? Would that be feasible?
The true qi produced by the second level of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Commanding Art was of a purity that the first level could not compare with. The difference between them was so vast that even Wei Zhao was astonished. If he used the second level to compress the qi, perhaps a breakthrough really was possible!
At that thought, Wei Zhao asked in a low voice, "Junzi, I'm about to help you break through from the Mysterious stage to the Earth stage. Do you have any problem with that? It may be very painful—you might fail at the last step, and all your meridians could be destroyed. But I can still repair them..."
"If they can be repaired, then what are we waiting for? Come on, Chief—if you want to improve your strength, how can you avoid taking a little risk?" Yang Huaijun was perfectly calm and answered at once.
If his meridians, once destroyed, could never be repaired, Yang Huaijun might have hesitated. But since Wei Zhao could repair even completely ruined meridians, the worst outcome was merely suffering a bit of pain—an ordeal that would amount to nothing in the end. And if it succeeded, it would bring him far greater strength. Was there even a choice to make?
Surely any cultivator would choose the latter.
"Good, then bear it!" Wei Zhao then switched his mental technique from the first level of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Commanding Art to the second. Though he was not yet proficient in the second-level technique, switching between the two levels came to him with ease.
Wei Zhao began trying to compress true qi using the second level of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Commanding Art, but was shocked to discover that compressing this qi was difficult beyond measure! Compared with the first level, it was as different as heaven and earth.
