By analyzing my surroundings and piecing together the few scattered words I had heard, I concluded that I needed to actively absorb the evil, baleful qi to replenish my second qi vortex and keep fighting for an extended period.
At this point, that might have been my only option.
Otherwise, with my current cultivation and condition, there was no way I could last three days.
I had to keep replenishing my four misfortune qi to fuel my attacks.
Only by conserving my own true qi to sustain my stamina and energy would I have a chance of lasting three days.
That had to be Grandpa's intention.
Now that I had reached that conclusion, there was no reason to hesitate.
I immediately activated the Black Lotus Seal.
The Black Lotus Seal could actively absorb evil, baleful qi, which my second qi vortex could then draw in for my own use.
The instant I activated the Black Lotus Seal, evil energy mist spread over my body.
At the same time, I used the Black Lotus Seal to begin actively absorbing the evil, baleful qi around me.
At first, I found this way of fighting very unfamiliar.
I had to replenish my evil, baleful qi while fighting.
True qi, meanwhile, flowed into my body without interruption.
Its nourishment also restored a small amount of the "true qi" I had expended.
The large quantities of true qi I absorbed gently nourished my flesh, blood, and vital energy, laying the foundation for a breakthrough to a higher realm.
And so I kept fighting, using the Black Lotus Seal to absorb evil, baleful qi and replenish my second qi vortex, then using that vortex to power the Witch Pattern Hand and wield the Tiger-Patterned Black Yue, all while conserving my own true qi.
This directly resolved
