Lind had become a machine. World Realms could live without food and water for far longer than Soul Realms, but if they consumed enough energy, the need for food would arise. Lind had gone without sleep for several days since his last meal and expended untold amounts of Qi and stamina on his experiments.
Now, he was out in a storm, a natural one, for reasons no one quite understood. He had setup several artifacts that looked familiar to those that had seen him use them before. They were the Qi gathering and ground rod artifacts.
There were some slight differences though.
Rather than simply bleed away lightning, the artifacts had flexible threads carefully set up to carry lightning to dishes set in a circle around Lind in one of the open courtyards. He was slightly disheveled and his hair was beginning to rise but none of the cultivators knew why.
