After all, he was safe for the time being, with no need to fear that Xie Yufeng would come charging to his door to kill him!

With that thought, Wei Zhao did not stop pouring energy into Uncle Qing. Even after Uncle Qing's meridians were fully repaired, he kept circulating the Xuanyuan Dragon Art and driving energy into Uncle Qing's body in an endless stream!

Uncle Qing felt his meridians knit whole again and was about to cry out in delight, rise to his feet, and savor the feeling of being an inner master once more, when to his horror he discovered that Wei Zhao's true qi was still flooding into his body without pause!

"Xiao Yi... you..." Uncle Qing stared at Wei Zhao with eyes gone wide in astonishment!

Wei Zhao only smiled and gave no answer, still concentrating with all his heart on channeling energy into Uncle Qing. A chill ran through Uncle Qing's heart as understanding dawned. Wei Zhao meant to use the true qi within his own body to forcibly forge him into a master!

Uncle Qing had been through this before. The true qi his wife cultivated could heal wounds, and it could also be turned to his own use to raise his strength. Yet every year of true qi she painstakingly cultivated and passed into his body could only lift him by a small fraction!

Fortunately, after her cultivation, the only thing his wife could do was help him train, so Uncle Qing felt little guilt over it. After all, that was simply how the Sun family's art worked!

But Wei Zhao was different! Wei Zhao owed him nothing as kin or friend, yet healing his wounds and repairing his meridians was already a kindness like giving him life anew, and it had already cost Wei Zhao a great share of true qi. Now Wei Zhao would forcibly pour even more true qi into his body. How could Uncle Qing not be overwhelmed?

And to his amazement, Uncle Qing found that Wei Zhao's true qi truly could be used by him. As Wei Zhao's true qi kept pouring in, he could feel his own strength returning little by little. It was exactly as when he had first trained as an inner practitioner, and it gave him the feeling of cultivating all over again!

Seeing Wei Zhao's smile, Uncle Qing knew his mind was made up. Though Wei Zhao was young, what he resolved to do could seldom be changed. Uncle Qing was embarrassed to accept Wei Zhao's true qi, yet he feared that interrupting him now would put him in even greater danger!

With that in mind, Uncle Qing felt he must not betray such heartfelt kindness. He hastily set his own sect's mental formula in motion, stirring the true qi Wei Zhao had sent over and guiding it to circulate through his body in concert with Wei Zhao!

Yet the moment Uncle Qing began to circulate his mental formula, the speed at which his body absorbed energy quickened sharply. Every inner art exists to draw in the true qi of heaven and earth and make it one's own, so in running his mental formula Uncle Qing was absorbing true qi as well, only the true qi he absorbed was what Wei Zhao was transmitting to him!

Wei Zhao abruptly felt Uncle Qing's absorption quicken. After a moment's surprise, he understood that Uncle Qing was working with him. He had not the slightest thought of stopping. The faster Uncle Qing absorbed, the happier Wei Zhao was!

Though it strained him, greater speed was for the best. Once he had remade Uncle Qing, Wei Zhao could swiftly enter the jade pendant space to train and recover his strength. If all went well, a single night would suffice. By the next morning, he could be restored to his former power!

Time slipped past minute by minute. Wei Zhao kept transmitting true qi without pause, while Uncle Qing kept absorbing it without pause!

The two sat like old monks sunk in meditation, neither speaking a word, though their faces grew ever more grave!

Uncle Qing felt himself on the verge of stepping into Yellow rank strength. Amid his joy, he hardly dared believe it. To forcibly turn a man with no power into a Yellow rank master, how much true qi must that take!

So much true qi, every drop won through bitter training, and Wei Zhao was giving it to him for nothing. Moved to the core, Uncle Qing swore silently that he must repay Wei Zhao one day. This debt of gratitude was simply too great!

Wei Zhao seemed to sense Uncle Qing's growing strength as well, and a faint smile curved his lips!

He was about to break through! Uncle Qing felt he had already touched the threshold of Yellow rank. The thought dragged his mind back to his years of training long ago. How wild his excitement had been when he first broke through to become a Yellow rank master?

"Boom!" This time Uncle Qing broke into Yellow rank with no strain at all. His body only trembled faintly, and he smoothly completed the passage from an ordinary martial artist to a Yellow rank master!

A delighted smile spread at once across Uncle Qing's face. Had he really become an inner Yellow rank master just like that? Was it not far too fast?

Yet after Uncle Qing broke into Yellow rank, Wei Zhao distinctly felt the hunger for energy inside Uncle Qing grow even swifter, until even he could barely sustain it!

Checking the energy left within himself, Wei Zhao frowned slightly. Repairing Uncle Qing's meridians had already consumed roughly a third of his energy, and helping Uncle Qing break through to Yellow rank strength had now left almost nothing in his body!

He was about to hit the critical line!

What was to be done? Give up? Wei Zhao was unwilling. He wanted to finish forging Uncle Qing as a master in one surge. Success or failure would be decided in this single effort!

But with no energy left inside him, how could he carry on?

That's it! In a flash Wei Zhao recalled the time he had transmitted true qi to General Weiwu. Once he entered the jade pendant space, so long as his body outside maintained its transmitting link with Uncle Qing, he could circulate the Xuanyuan Dragon Art inside the space, absorbing energy there while sending it straight into Uncle Qing!

How stupid he had been! Wei Zhao nearly slapped his own forehead and cursed himself for a fool. He hurriedly closed his eyes and entered the jade pendant space!

For the energy within his body was all but exhausted!

Once inside the jade pendant space, Wei Zhao spared no time even to speak with Old Jiao. He simply drove the Xuanyuan Dragon Art around faster still, and as the energy of the space surged into his own body, it surged onward in an unbroken torrent into Uncle Qing!

And the pace was clearly far faster than before, for the energy within the jade pendant space was vastly greater than what had remained in Wei Zhao's body!
