Han Yu stepped closer and asked, "What did you do while I was gone"
Xuan Qing replied mechanically. "I consumed food. I drank water. I remained seated."
Han Yu nodded slowly. Then another thought hit him. Cultivation.
"Can you cultivate?"
"I cannot cultivate. I can only use what cultivation I already possess."
That was expected. The cultivation restriction seal placed in the Dantian prevented true progress. But he had noticed something else earlier.
"Can you at least regenerate your spirit Qi?"
"With your permission I can."
Han Yu placed his hand on her back and sent his spirit sense into her body again. He loosened the restraining seal as much as he could without breaking it. Her presence instantly shifted a little. Her energy rose slightly, becoming fuller and more stable.
A soft breath left his lips. "Good. Maintain your spirit Qi at a stable level. Do not let it drop. Keep your body healthy. Rest. Eat. Drink. Do everything you need to stay physically strong."
