Chapter 43
Whenever you consume a Spiritual Elixir, you must immediately enter Qi Circulation Meditation.
An overwhelming tide of unmanageable energy can ravage the body from within; even if it doesn’t, failing to circulate it will cause that precious energy to scatter into nothingness.
In the murim, this is an unwritten law that holds true under any circumstance.
And yet.
‘What in the world is happening?’
He had begun circulating his qi merely hoping to salvage a tenth of the Spiritual Elixir’s power.
As if mocking his low expectations, almost the entirety of the elixir’s vast energy gathered directly in his dantian.
It settled there as naturally as if it had been his own True Qi from the very start.
A phenomenon that defied all common sense… Wait.
Ah, so that was it.
‘The Immortal Elixir absorbed every scrap of Immortal Qi.’
The Spiritual Elixir’s energy hadn’t simply settled into his dantian.
Instead, the Immortal Elixir had completely drawn in and devoured all the Immortal Qi contained within the Spiritual Elixir.
The undeniable proof was that the Immortal Elixir had swollen to ten times its original size.
‘I won’t be able to wield this absorbed energy as freely as my own True Qi right away, though.’
Unlike before, the structure of the Immortal Elixir now felt as dense and solid as the inner core of a spirit beast.
Unless he unraveled the sealed Immortal Qi, he would likely only be able to tap into a minuscule fraction of its true power.
‘Well, even so, my True Qi has grown five or six times over.’
