There was energy constantly flowing in the air but only cultivators could feel it . They had spirit root inside their bodies which was the connection between them and heaven and earth .
Raven knew from the memories that he had Level 3 spirit root inside his body which was considered genius level in the Empire . But he could guess that the disciples in the sect must have higher level spirit roots because Dustin also had Level 3 spirit root but was unable to join the Heavenly Element Sect .
Raven sat on his bed and started chanting the sutra mentioned in Flame Eleohant Art . He was not a cultivator yet thus was unable to feel much energy . This sutra will help him to attract Flame element energy inside the air at fast pace .
Soon the invisible energy was gone as light red energy particles were being attracted towards Raven's body . Raven felt excited when he felt little hot after the energy lights touched his body.
The Qi condensation cultivators can only absorb the energy which touches their body because they do not possess Divine Sense which is essentially mental power and can be used to attract energy.
Raven waited until his body was covered with red particles before opening the body pores and guiding the energy inside . The energy was attracted by his Level 3 spirit root thus it easily entered inside the body .
This process could be painful because the inner nerves and muscles are much more sensitive. Raven felt so hot that he was going to be barbecued soon . So he expelled more than 50 percentage of the energy outside through his body pores before finally the heat became manageable.
According to the route mentioned in the illustration, Raven guided the particles through his body slowly . The Art was really high level one because from the books he had read in the library, Raven knew that only high rank techniques could not attract so much energy for the first time .
Raven was feeling mentally exhausted but not by much which surprised him . Maybe his mental power was stronger than others due to being a different soul . Raven quietly speculated but never loosened his focus on the energy . His innards would be burnt if he lost control of the fire energy and Raven did not want that to happen at all .
Soon the energy passed his mental palace and the spirit root which was shaped like a poor imitation of lotus . The energy was being refined slowly by the root and slowly being stored inside the inner world .
The inner world was located in the chest area and was small right now . Raven knew that he had to fill his inner world with Flame Qi and will then advance to Peak Level 1 Qi condensation. The qi was of Flame Elephant Art which is better in quality thus the qi was extremely pure and more powerful .
In just about an hour , the whole energy was refined into qi and stored inside Raven's inner world. His empty inner world was now one third filled with red coloured gas which was dark in colour . Raven was sweating on his forehead because he exhausted nearly all his mental energy but had a grin on his face.
The more dark the colour of Flame Qi the more it will be pure and powerful . Raven's qi was quite dark thus making him satisfied. He was tired but wanted to quickly reach Level 2 in just one day thus started meditation to recover the exhausted mental power quickly.
If others heard that Raven could have so much progress in only one hour then they would be ashamed of their talent . Because it was first time Raven refined Qi and on top of that he seemed to possess much stronger and vast amount of mental power than others.
Raven wanted to eat some pills to quickly recover mental power but decided against it as somehow it returned just after 2 hours and had even increased about 10 percent from before . Thus Raven continued to cultivate while his father was anxiously waiting for his son to come and ask for advice . Dustin would be shocked when he knew that not only his son did not need advice but also progressed so much .
