"Not that, no. The whole matter is long and hard to explain in a few words, and right now you don't need to know the details. You only need to know that this person cannot supply any more pendants." Old Man Wei said, "Without a pendant, the spirit herb alone would only extend her life by about a year..."
"A year... Then what if she takes the spirit herb again after that year?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Never mind whether we could even find the spirit herb—even if we did, its effect would be greatly diminished. And that year I mentioned is assuming the effect of the first dose. In truth, a second dose would likely buy less than a year, and each time after that, less still..." Old Man Wei said. "So this is no fundamental solution!"
"Then what about the jade pendant?" Wei Zhao was filled with regret. For the sake of cultivating, he had brought about such a consequence!
"The pendant—for now, I have no way either. That pendant, if you hadn't forcibly absorbed its energy, would have been enough for her whole life. But you forcibly absorbed the fragrance emanating from her body, which caused the pendant to keep replenishing her energy, so it was quickly exhausted..." Old Man Wei explained.
"That... Then what about your friend? Does he have a way?" Wei Zhao asked.
"He doesn't either. He isn't the pendant's maker." Old Man Wei said, "In fact, Wang Xinyan's constitution is very special. I studied it back then—her constitution is even more special than Feng Xiaoxiao's..."
"And what did your research find?" Wei Zhao asked urgently.
"After I gave her the pendant, I stopped researching it," Old Man Wei said honestly. Wei Zhao was at a loss for words, but would not give up. "Is there really no way at all? What if I give her my pendant to use?"
"These pendants bind once and for all. It won't work. Others can't use yours, and you can't use hers." Old Man Wei said, "You can put that thought out of your mind."
"So you knew about the pendant all along?" This was the first Wei Zhao had heard that the pendants were bound for life.
"You were young before, and I didn't want to tell you these things. Now that you've matured, I've revealed a little," Old Man Wei said.
