"Perhaps he has achieved a second blood exchange," Hou Yingying said.
"Second blood exchange?" Xiao Emei clicked her tongue slightly.
"Yes!" Hou Yingying nodded, "This Lord Jiang gives me a sense of oppression far stronger than the Palace Master did before, which means his strength should exceed the Palace Master."
Saying this, Hou Yingying paused and continued, "Yesterday, he said he now very much needs the help of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!"
"This implies he should have just completed the blood exchange not long ago and still needs resources to compensate for his body's weakness, hence his words about needing the help of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
"Makes sense!" Hearing Hou Yingying's analysis, Xiao Emei nodded in agreement.
Then.
The two observed Jiang Ning for a moment.
Finding nothing more, they began to prepare lunch.

Afternoon.
"This fish tastes good!" Jiang Ning swallowed the fish Xiao Emei had roasted earlier, bones and all.
