Damn!
He had cultivated spiritual power? How was that possible? Jiang Hao was truly shocked by the First Emperor's words.
That "Five Emperors Scripture" had been something he had cobbled together purely to fool Qin Shi Huang. How had it somehow enabled him to cultivate spiritual power? What was going on?
Back when that fellow Zhao Gao had cultivated internal force, Jiang Hao had already been shocked once. Now this again—what was wrong with this world?
Of course, the contents of the Five Emperors Scripture had all come from Daoist classics. It was not complete nonsense. Could he actually start producing scriptures himself now?
"Your Majesty, what does it feel like to have cultivated spiritual power?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Just as the 'Five Emperors True Scripture' says, a strand of true spiritual energy circulates through my meridians before returning to the Dantian. My body feels better than ever before, more comfortable than at any time in the past," Qin Shi Huang said happily.
Jiang Hao considered it. "May Your Majesty allow this servant to examine you?"
"Come."
As he spoke, Qin Shi Huang extended his arm.
Jiang Hao stepped forward and placed his fingers on the First Emperor's pulse. He sent in a thread of spiritual power, which swiftly made a circuit through the First Emperor's meridians before finally entering his Dantian. Jiang Hao truly found a cluster of spiritual energy there.
Jiang Hao was one hundred percent certain that it was spiritual power, not internal force like Zhao Gao's. Its properties were identical to the spiritual power he cultivated.
The result still left Jiang Hao utterly astonished.
Refining Essence into Qi.
There could be no mistake about that. It was the most classic Daoist cultivation method. It seemed Qin Shi Huang truly had cultivated spiritual power.
