Charlie wade laughed, “I’m giving you these pills to help you progress quickly, not to make you pledge loyalty, let’s put that aside for now, take the pills, I’ll guide you to properly absorb their spiritual energy.”
The two exchanged a glance, nodded simultaneously, and placed the pills in their mouths.
Even before swallowing, they could feel the vibrant spiritual energy within the pills, almost bursting forth.
Cultivators were naturally sensitive to spiritual energy, and with none in the world for them to absorb, their instincts sharpened when encountering spirit-rich pills.
Suppressing their excitement, they swallowed the pills, and as the pills dissolved into a warm current, both felt an unprecedented surge of powerful spiritual energy flood their abdomen, rushing through their meridians towards the sea of consciousness in their minds.
Though they had prepared for the Great Origin Pill to far surpass the Small Origin Pill, when the pill’s effects truly unfolded, both were stunned by the immense spiritual energy.
One Great Origin Pill was worth at least dozens, perhaps nearly a hundred, Small Origin Pills.
Pills, like medicine for the sick, lose efficacy if the dose is small and spread out, so overall, a Great Origin Pill’s effect was equivalent to a hundred Small Origin Pills.
To them, it was like a perpetually hungry person suddenly receiving enough lavish food to last days, instantly elevating their internal spiritual energy by several levels.
Charlie wade channelled spiritual energy into them, helping guide it to their seas of consciousness, and reminded them, “Don’t keep all the energy in your sea of consciousness, follow me now to draw it out and strengthen your meridians.”
Their control over spiritual energy was unrefined, Song Rife had always had little energy, keeping what she had in her dantian.
Though Grace Lowes had opened her sea of consciousness, she hoarded her accumulated energy there, reluctant to channel it to her meridians, saving it for emergencies.
Now, Charlie wade asked them to draw energy from their seas of consciousness to their meridians, initially, they instinctively felt reluctant, but as it was Charlie wade’s command, they dared not delay, following his guidance to channel the energy into their meridians.
Nourished by the spiritual energy, their meridians grew stronger, their flow becoming smoother.
Cultivators often focused on mastering spiritual energy, neglecting meridian and physical strengthening, but meridians were the foundation of cultivation, like a nation’s infrastructure, the better the foundation, the faster the future growth.
With abundant spiritual energy to spare, they realised for the first time how profoundly meridians could transform under its influence, the improvement was tangible, making them immediately aware of the dramatic changes in their bodies.
Over an hour later, they had used nearly half the pills’ energy to strengthen their meridians and dantian, with significant improvements, both noticed a clear change, when they needed to muster large amounts of spiritual energy, their unobstructed meridians allowed much faster responses.
Then, Charlie wade’s voice sounded in their ears, “Alright, you can end your meditation.”
Both opened their eyes, seeing Charlie wade before them, their hearts brimming with excitement.
They could tell their strength had leapt forward, a single pill saving them two to three, even three to five years of arduous cultivation.
Grace Lowes rose from her cross-legged position, knelt before Charlie wade, and said respectfully, “Thank you, Mr. Wade, for your fulfilment!”
Song Rife hurriedly followed, kneeling beside Grace Lowes, saying devoutly, “Thank you, Mr. Wade, for your fulfilment!”
Charlie wade said calmly, “No need for such formality, I’ll be heading out of town for a few days, you two focus on cultivating here, if you need anything, contact Hong Wu, he’ll arrange everything.”
