After posing his question and receiving an answer, Zhao Shibo stepped to the side. Throughout the subsequent procedure, he indeed kept his promise. As Gao Jini was opening up the ridians and stimulating the potential for Zhao Ninglu, he never interrupted, rely standing by and silently observing.
Stimulating potential is an excruciating affair. Even though Zhao Ninglu had taken a dicinal pill to fall into a deep sleep, her body still shook and convulsed uncontrollably during Gao Jini’s spellcasting. Her brows knitted tightly, and sweat poured from her like a spring, soaking her through.
The entire spellcasting process lasted for about an hour. Gao Jini, too, was far from relaxed. She had to continually condense her own mana into needles, hamring them at Zhao Ninglu’s hardened ridians. It was a laborious and ticulous task. Even though she was a Gold Core Realm Third Level practitioner, the exercise left her dizzy, exhausted to her very core.
Having finally cleared a small section of Zhao Ninglu’s hardened ridians, Gao Jini withdrew her spells and collapsed to the ground, exhaling deeply. She then said, “Brother, this truly isn’t human’s work. I’ve only done this for a short while and I’m already too exhausted to bear it. I initially thought Master was showing favor by passing this spell onto , believing he was partial to . Now I realize he wasn’t favoring at all; it’s quite the opposite. He was favoring you, not wanting you to overexert yourself, so he entrusted all the grueling, exhausting, and dirty work to .”
These words were not sothing Qi Tian had coached Gao Jini to say. The fact that Gao Jini could naturally utter them solidified their impression of being part of a sect in Zhao Shibo’s mind. This was sothing even Qi Tian had to silently comnd Gao Jini for.
Qi Tian replied with a smile, “Stop complaining, and don’t act cute after gaining an advantage. Master clearly favors you, which is why he passed on such a technique to you. Haven’t you noticed that whenever the two of us travel, I always have to follow you? Just like a persistent shadow—it’s hard work. Moreover, you always take the larger share of our earnings, while I take the smaller part.”
Gao Jini flared up as if a kitten’s tail had been stepped on, yelling at Qi Tian, “After working so hard, don’t I deserve the larger part? If you’re not satisfied, you do it. What if I let you have the larger share?”
Qi Tian waved his hands and said, “I won’t argue with you in front of the Prince.”
He turned his head, bowed to Zhao Shibo, and said, “Prince, my apologies for the spectacle.”
Zhao Shibo chuckled and replied, “No trouble at all. Seeing the two of you sibling disciples getting along so harmoniously fills with envy.”>
Qi Tian continued, “Prince, didn’t you ntion earlier that you wanted to check the results of our help in stimulating the Princess’s potential? Now you can take a look and see if it’s effective.”
“That was indeed my intention,” Zhao Shibo nodded, then walked over to the jade bed. He carefully examined Zhao Ninglu first to ensure she was unhard before placing his finger on her wrist’s pulse point. He probed with his Divine Sense into Zhao Ninglu’s body to inspect her ridians.
At first, Zhao Shibo’s expression was indifferent, showing no change. But soon, he furrowed his brows. After searching for a while, he could not find any changes in Zhao Ninglu’s ridians. In other words, he seriously suspected that Gao Jini’s efforts had been futile and that his daughter suffered for no reason, with no visible effect whatsoever.
Seeing Zhao Shibo’s expression, Qi Tian knew imdiately what had happened. He gave Gao Jini a subtle eye signal. Catching on, Gao Jini said, “Prince, you might want to focus on the Princess’s Lung ridian of Hand-Taiyin.”
Zhao Shibo imdiately concentrated his Divine Sense on Zhao Ninglu’s Lung ridian of Hand-Taiyin, examining it carefully and ticulously. Before long, he noticed the changes in Zhao Ninglu’s Lung ridian of Hand-Taiyin. To be honest, the change was minimal. If the entire Lung ridian of Hand-Taiyin was considered as one, then this change might not even amount to one-thousandth of it—extrely minimal. However, insubstantial as it may seem, if left only to Zhao Ninglu’s own efforts, she might need ten days, half a month, or even months to achieve even this slight change.
To advance a step beyond the top of a hundred-foot pole is an easy thing to say, but incredibly difficult to accomplish. For many, the top of the hundred-foot pole already represents their limit. Pushing beyond those limits, even by a tiny fraction, is an insurmountable challenge. Often, even a lifeti of effort is not enough to make that progress.
Zhao Shibo understood Zhao Ninglu’s situation profoundly. His daughter had long reached her limit, unable to advance further, stagnating for many years in the Half-step Golden Core realm, unable to surpass her limits. But now, Qi Tian and Gao Jini had brought him hope.
A smile unfurled across Zhao Shibo’s face. He withdrew his hand from Zhao Ninglu’s wrist, stood up solemnly, and faced Qi Tian and Gao Jini. Extending his arms, he placed his hands together in front of him and bowed deeply as a sign of genuine gratitude, “Master Qi, Master Gao, you truly are immortals sent by the heavens to save my daughter. On behalf of my entire family, I extend our deepest thanks to both of you. Please accept my bow.”
