An Old Scroll

"Haha, what's wrong with that?" the Vice president asked, clearly amused at the situation. "You don't mean to say that people can get better with talent instead as well, right?"

"No no. That's not what I meant," Ning said. "What I mean is, aside from just being born with the ability to gather Aether, you can also gather Aether with an absorption technique."

The vice president's face changed a little. "What's an absorption technique?" he asked with a curious look on his face.

Ning saw his face and got the idea that he too likely didn't know about it. He sighed and began to explain.

"It's a technique that you can use in your body, and soon enough, you will start gathering Aether on your own, even if you have no potential in your body to gather Aether naturally," Ning said.

The vice president's face got serious. "No way something so good exists, right?" he asked.

"It does," Ning said. "I use one myself."
