The horse started to gallop on the road, but Miao Yi did not dislike its terribly slow pace, because he needed it to recover the transcendence energy that was spent.
Holding out a grain-sized Orb of Will that was already depleted by more than half, he rubbed it gently on his clothes. He felt reluctant to eat it, so he eventually chose to swallow it in, and began channeling his transcendence energy.
There were not many things that were more useful than an Orb of Will in restoring transcendence energy. It was much better than the pellets that those cultivator sects refined from the scrap materials they collected.
Especially the rate at which it recovers transcendence energy. It was not something pellets could compare to, which is why many cultivators tended to keep an Orb of Will by their side, in case they ever needed to recover transcendence energy.
