"But, Master, Xiao Hua's spiritual power is still increasing. It hasn't stopped growing just because his realm has stagnated..." Gong Mingwei interjected.
"What the hell good is that?!" Before his three disciples, Xiao Yuehong finally cursed. "Cultivation isn't judged by spiritual power alone. Realm and comprehension are what matter most. As long as your realm rises, your spiritual power will naturally rise as well. But if your realm doesn't improve, your spiritual power... will reach its end sooner or later. No matter how high Xiao Hua's spiritual power gets, he cannot possibly be a match for cultivators like you at the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation!"
"Master... you could... try giving Xiao Hua some more pills. Um, perhaps... let him take some Qi Nurturing Pills, just to see whether his spiritual power can stop increasing, or... whether he can advance to the Qi Cultivation second layer!" After thinking for a long while, Zhang Qingxiao finally managed to get a word in.
"Are you missing a screw in your head?!" Xiao Yuehong snapped irritably. "If I had enough Qi Cultivation pills or Qi Nurturing Pills to raise each of your cultivations by another layer, you might even have a chance to reach the peak of late Qi Cultivation, produce another Foundation Establishment cultivator for Shang Hua Ming, and allow Shang Hua Ming's lineage to carry on. Why would I spend them on Xiao Hua for no reason? Wouldn't that be throwing spirit stones away for nothing??? Oh, right... exactly how many spirit stones did you trade for this time?"
"Well..." Hearing his own words once again stir Xiao Yuehong's thoughts about spirit stones, Zhang Qingxiao's face had already gone pale. If Gong Mingwei had not supported him, he would have nearly fainted on the spot.
