Zhang Bin was shocked to discover that as Xiao Qing circulated True Qi, his own was diminishing, but it was also becoming more refined. It was only then he realized the Seed wasn't breathing, but was arduously purifying his True Qi.
Only with higher-quality True Qi could he cultivate to the late stage of the Condensing Seed Realm.
The Seed could then undergo a miraculous transformation under the nourishment of high-level True Qi. Perhaps one day it could truly become the seed of an Innate Spiritual Root, not just a Divine Wood Seed. This would allow him to surpass any cultivator who had ever practiced the Qingmu Longevity Technique, making him stronger than even those who had ascended to the Immortal Realm using it.
