At the same time, a force emerged from within the drum mallet.
This force, full of warmth, and carrying an indescribable presence, just entered his body and immediately transformed into thousands of streams, moving like Spirit Snakes through his meridians, roaming everywhere.
But in the end, it all converged into his dantian, absorbed by the Divine Statue.
Li Yan instantly understood what it was.
