Yan Chihuo's spirits rose at this. "Do you have some way to raise my Origin Core to a Solid Core?" At this point, Yan Chihuo had not considered a True Core at all. A Solid Core would be more than enough to satisfy him.
Zihai shook his head. "How would I know such a method?"
Yan Chihuo refused to give up. "I know you certainly don't have one, but do you have any leads?"
"I'm only guessing," Zihai said.
Yan Chihuo was so enraged he nearly died of it. "You're just spouting nonsense without a shred of proof."
Zihai was unconvinced. "Master, what I said isn't without reason. Take your master, Ping Qi. He was clearly only at the Qi Gathering Stage, yet he lived so long before passing away in meditation. Why could he extend his lifespan, while you can't advance your Origin Core?"
At the mention of Ping Qi, Yan Chihuo recalled that he had promised to visit the Cloud Soaring Sect, and that Ping Qi had left him some belongings. He further remembered that the poison from the Demon Immortal Fruit within him had yet to be resolved. Even if he formed a True Core, he might not live to reach the Dao Integration Stage. "Now that you mention it, I remember that I promised to make a trip to the Cloud Soaring Sect, but I still haven't gone."
It would be good to let him get out and clear his head, Mo Han thought. She said, "Chihuo, I'll go to the Cloud Soaring Sect with you. No matter what, Teacher Ping treated you quite well."
Yan Chihuo nodded. "Fine. We'll set out tomorrow."
"Please come in, Seniors. This is a place Elder Ping personally sealed. He said only Senior Yan could unseal it himself." Sun
