My spiritual power alone won't kill it. I'll have to borrow strength.

I shouldn't have asked you.

When all seven petals fall, your primordial spirit will be burned out. Within a year, you must find the antidote and restore your spiritual veins, or you will die. Since the poison came from JI Bozai, he may hold the antidote.

You scoundrel, Ji Bozai. May you trip the moment you step out the door, lose the soles of your shoes on the road, and chip your teeth while eating.

I'll take all these pieces. You don't have to do that. That's too kind of you. It's not kindness. If I like them, they're worth it.
