Inside the villa on the second floor, Ge Dongxu watched the black Cherokee disappear into the night, then returned to his room, read for a while, and, when it reached midnight, he sat cross-legged in the training room and practiced as usual.
Bits of Essence of the Moon were gathered by the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation and wrapped around Ge Dongxu, who absorbed them into his body. Like trickling water, they flowed through the Twelve Regular Meridians, nourishing his internal organs.
The True Qi became stronger and more refined during practice.
Soon midnight passed, and Ge Dongxu opened his eyes, his face showing a delighted expression.
