Under Su Yu’s careful guidance, Zheng Kun did not disappoint, successfully sensing a faint trace of true qi from his Lower Dantian. Zheng Kun was ecstatic, though Su Yu immediately poured cold water on his excitement, explaining that it was actually her Green Lotus Seal at work, not something he had ignited through his own ability. She added that he still had a long way to go before he could truly walk this path.
Su Yu’s words did nothing to dampen Zheng Kun’s spirits. He closed his eyes, repeatedly feeling that trace of true qi within his body, and said optimistically, "It doesn't matter. 'A single leap cannot cover ten paces; a horse of poor quality can still reach its goal through ten days of travel, provided it does not give up.' Since I have the good fortune to come into contact with such mysterious true qi, how could I give up halfway or lose patience just because it takes a long time?"
"Hmm, well said. Everything requires perseverance. It is excellent that you have this mindset; I hope you can maintain it."
