"Given what remains, I see two roads ahead of you," said Yang Qing."One," he said, raising a finger, "is to heal naturally. With the amount of residual damage left in your body, and with your vitality as a palace realm expert, you should be able to recover completely… in about three hundred years."
Xie Han wasn't too surprised—his own estimate had been in the same ballpark, though he'd overshot it by two hundred years. He had guessed five hundred.
"It's the cheapest option," Yang Qing continued, "but you also know what that means. For those three hundred years you won't be making much progress in your cultivation as most of your body's strength will be focused entirely on restoring itself.
It's truly a wonder how you managed to break through to the palace realm with those restraints still on you," Yang Qing added with genuine praise.
"It was that senior," Xie Han whispered, lowering his head in shame.
