Chapter 2031 (2/2)
Li Yundong stared at Zi Yuan for a moment, unable to believe what he'd just heard”T-Two years?”
”At your current level, yes” Zi Yuan's eyes darted to his face”Not even a single budge after two years”
Two frigging yearsYou've gotta be shi+tting oHow is the fan different now coo?”
”Grand it at that time,” Zi Yuan answered”Unlike now, the Great Fox Elder's spiritual signature inside the fan was still thriving”
”Spiritual signature?”
”A spiritual signature is exactly as its name impliesIt is a y”
”I see…”
That sounded a bit similar to DNA…
”Reical object chooses its master” She pointed at the Fan of Seven Treasures”And that is exactly what you need to do in order to pass the second dan of the Shentong phaseYou need to get the Fan of Seven Treasures to choose you as its new master” Zi Yuan placed her hand back onto her lap”The y isn't to cast spells, but to use it to gain the allegiance of a ical object” Zi Yuan's expression softened”That resistance you felt earlier is due to the spiritual energy of its current owner trying to expel yours” Zi Yuan shot hiet the fan to recognize you, Grand stared wordlessly at the Fan of Seven Treasures
Suddenly, Zi Yuan chuckled”It's anature remains inside the fan even after a thousand years”
Zi Yuan shook her head in awe”It proves just hoerful his spiritual energy hen he was at his prinatures weaken with time?”
”Without constant exposure to the owners' Qi, then yes, they do”
Li Yundong nodded and stared at the fan againThat must be why Zi Yuan had asked him to keep it beside hi chuckled and shook his head
”What's so funny?” Zi Yuan asked
”How does it even work?” he asked, glancing over at Zi Yuan
”It's not that co your Zhenqi into the fan and try to fight against its resistance,” Zi Yuan explained”Your spiritual energy will do the rest by slowly erasing Grandnature froht take a while, but it should be possible even for someone at your levelIt's been a thousand years since Grandmaster Pan shi+ last wielded it after all”
Li Yundong wanted to ask how long ”a while” was, but he held his tongue in the endHe figured it wouldn't be as long as that trip to TibetAt least that hat he hoped
”OkayWhat actually happens when the fan acknowledges me as its owner?”
Would it involve sos,” Zi Yuan said”At the exact es you as its owner, a connection will be forical object's Spirit”
Li Yundong glanced down at the fan, then looked back up at Zi Yuan”Magical objects have Spirits?”
”Of course” Zi Yuan smiled, then nodded at the Fan of Seven Treasures”You'll soon see that it has a will of its own”
”Wow…”
”Now pay attentionThis is very important,” Zi Yuan said sternly”That connection between your Spirit and the object's Spirit is a sign of ownershi+pYou understand?” There was a pause”Do you kno youback then?”
Li Yundong shook his headHe just re in his power to stop that fcking thing fro special
”Your Spirit severed the connection between Hongling's Spirit and the damask's SpiritThat's how you took it fronized Hongling as its owner after you grabbed it frooing wide”WaitYou mean I became the owner of the damask after I took it?”
Zi Yuan shook her head”I don't think so” She quirked a brow”You didn't even have a Vital Orb back thenThere was no way you could've clai it to your Zhenqi”
Hold onSo didn't add up
”Then how did I steal it in the first place?” Li Yundong frowned”You said it yourselfI didn't even have a Vital Orb” He glanced down at the Fan of Seven Treasures on the floor”And I had to send ht? Like I' to do with the fan?”
Zi Yuan shook her head”You couldn't establish ownershi+p, that's trueBut that doesn'tconnection between the object and its current wielder” Zi Yuan raised a finger”And you're forgetting so sat there and waited for her to carry on her explanation
”Again, what is Zhenqi?” Zi Yuan prompted”We discussed this earlier”
”A condensed form of Qi that's been fortified by the Spirit”
”PreciselyThe Jindan's Aura is itself a highly condensed for the battle, your Spirit h to fortify the Aura to convert it into a powerful form of Zhenqi” She paused and studied him for a rabbed the da nodded
”Describe it”
”Er… There was soainsttrying to fight backBut her Spirit is weaker than yours” Zi Yuan chuckled wryly”Her spiritual signature got erased by the Jindan's Aura the moment your hand touched the da cleared his throat”Will she still be able to use it after this?”
”Of course” Zi Yuan shrugged”She just has to do what you're trying to do now” Zi Yuan nodded at the Fan of Seven Treasures”She has to expend her spiritual energy to regain ownershi+p of the da raised his hands defensively”I had no choice, okay? She tried to kill—”
Zi Yuan silenced hiirl not to act rashly, but she didn't listenSo she paid the price” Zi Yuan shook her head slightly”AnywayWe've digressedWhere e? AhRightLike I said, the for that happens during the recognitionAfter that co?”
”The ical object… colance at hih it has its own free will”
”Wait… Youaround on its own?”
”It'll do more than that, actually” Zi Yuan chuckled”It'll use its owner's spiritual signature as a guide and start seeking out the owner's Zhenqi”
Li Yundong glanced at the fan againShe ical objects could act like pets
”Try again”
Li Yundong looked up to find Zi Yuan giving hi nod”Work on it until you succeed”
Li Yundong took a deep breath and sat up straighter”How long do you think it'll take?”
”It doesn'tit takes,” Zi Yuan said in a tone of finality”You'll keep trying until the fan recognizes you as its true owner”
With that, Zi Yuan closed her eyes and went back to her meditation
