Haitang Mountain.
The moon hung high in the sky.
Chen Jichuan held a Spirit Stone in his hand, quietly channeling a secret technique.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
A cool sensation spread from his palm, circulating throughout his body.
"It's done."
Chen Jichuan felt his spirit clear and was somewhat pleased.
This wasn't the Dao Fruit absorbing Spiritual Energy but rather him employing a secret technique to extract the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone for his own use.
Spiritual Energy entered his body.
Wrapped in Inner Strength, it flowed through his meridians. After several circulations, a third of the Spirit Stone was refined, and he felt a faint stinging pain in his meridians.
"Spiritual Energy is toxic."
