Basil had consumed eight pills of Morning Dew, which was a crazy amount of Catalyst one could down in a span of 10 hours. It was not the matter of how many the body could take, but how much the body could process.
While one's biological aspect played a great role in this matter, one's competence played an even bigger role. Without one's extraordinary control over Mana, one would not be able to properly distribute the Nature Mana that the body had processed, which would only make it go to waste.
Despite the amount of Nature Mana that he had managed to process, unfortunately, Basil's Energy hadn't recovered yet. His heart was still doing its best to pump Mana into his blood, meanwhile his Qi Core was merely a quarter filled.
Basil wasn't disappointed however; he knew recovering the energy he had exhausted would be hard due to the amount of damage he had inflicted on his body. He also had a quite sufficient amount of time, so he was cool about it.
