After about two to three hours, the flow of energy within Lin Feng had become unprecedentedly robust, with continuous streams of mist-like energy circulating back and forth, flowing through his extraordinary meridians. Whenever there was a blockage, the mist-like energy would quickly gather and occasionally form small bumps on his skin surface, from which dark, sticky substances oozed out like black sweat, adhering to his skin and then being absorbed by the sheets below. As the black faded, the previously rough and dull skin became clearer. After several cycles, his skin turned bright red and hot as if it had been branded. The room was filled with a pungent odor, making anyone who smelled it feel nauseous. From a distance, Lin Feng, sitting cross-legged on the bed, looked like a large steamed melon, with bubbles popping out one after another, a sight that would truly startle anyone. Especially as his skin gradually turned red, except for the areas with hair, his whole body seemed to become a ‘big red man’, which was quite frightening. If anyone had seen these strange changes on his body, they would have been scared out of their wits. Was this still a living person?
Yet, Lin Feng, eyes closed, seemed oblivious to these miraculous changes in his body, like an old monk in deep meditation. Suddenly, his body shook violently as if struck by electricity, and his skin abruptly changed from red to white, flickering with a white light before returning to normal. The various bumps on his skin also disappeared in a flash. In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng’s body seemed to revert to its former skinny, bony self… But who could know that inside him, a storm was brewing. At the same time his skin returned to normal, the endless mist-like energy vanished into his limbs and extraordinary meridians. Instead, from deep within his dantian, a dark energy stream slowly rose and began to fill his sea of qi. The increasingly intense energy stream started to surge through his organs, like a stream in the real world rushing over rocks at a fork, gathering into lakes and rivers, rushing through bends, and then merging into vast rivers, transforming in the blink of an eye into a massive surge of waves, engulfing everything in its path.
With a loud boom, Lin Feng’s body seemed to flash with white light several times. And just before this, Nuonuo, which had disappeared with the endless mist-like energy, reappeared within his mind in a scattering of starlight. Nuonuo, sensing this overwhelming surge of energy, also began a series of changes. The raging waves within Lin Feng’s sea of qi, with the force of an avalanche, engulfed everything, but Nuonuo acted like an invisible dam, splitting the energy into two worlds – one of destruction and chaos, the other of clear, gentle streams. These streams continuously flowed into the ethereal Nuonuo. With the influx of these streams, Nuonuo began to evolve on its own. The cold, mechanical background of the system, which had long annoyed Lin Feng, gradually gained vitality, with green grass sprouting in the previously empty background, and the gray clouds in the sky seemingly lightening. The stream that Nuonuo had separated was clearly different in color and purity from the turbulent flow in Lin Feng’s sea of qi. These small streams, like highly concentrated essential oils, had an amber appearance while maintaining their liquid essence, accumulating within the virtual Nuonuo.
