The waiter arrived and started to serve them food. Yan Xing and Jun Yuan both dug in; they were famished and tired after a day without rest or food. Although Jingsheng felt indignant, he had no choice but to grab his chopsticks and ponder the question Yan Xing had asked with food in his mouth.
"How long before you can start using your internal energy?" Yan Xing asked.
Grabbing a piece of meat from the table, Jun Yuan answered, "After a day."
"That long!" Yan Xing raised his eyebrows in question.
Jun Yuan chuckled. "Only those who have awakened the bloodline of the ancient phoenix can possess the divine flame of the phoenix. As I told you earlier, I wasn't able to awaken it completely because of my sister's disappearance. So, although I can use the divine flame, I can't use it freely, and every time I use it, I suffer a severe backlash and can't use internal energy for a day."
