Lin Yuan observed for a while, *pondering in his heart.*
For nearly a millennium in the Spirit Realm, he devoted substantial time to absorbing various colored liquids from the mysterious gourd, significantly enhancing the Physical Body Divine Ability 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood.'

After observing a bit longer, Lin Yuan's consciousness returned to the outside world.
The expansion of his internal universe was an instinctive behavior, requiring no constant attention from Lin Yuan.
All he needed to do was ensure an adequate supply of energy.
"My current merit points... twenty-six million?"
Lin Yuan glanced over, his expression pensive.
The Eighth Stage Martial Tao Chapter was worth twenty-two million merit points.
