The Ren and Du meridians in this world are called the Heavenly Gate and the Earthly Gate, and they are also the places where magical power is stored.
William Carter covered Olivia Carter with a piece of clothing, still deep in thought. After a while, William Carter reached out his hand, slowly releasing an extremely pure cold energy from his palm. This was the second and also the last time he used the yin-cold energy he had extracted during Mr. Night's treatment, now fused with immortal energy.
In William Carter's palm, the energy was as large as a basketball, several times more than the first time.
William Carter refined and condensed the extremely pure cold energy into a bead about the size of a fist, then used immortal energy to stir Olivia Carter's magical power. He wanted to see how Olivia Carter's magical power would react to the extremely pure cold energy.
Sure enough, in just a moment, Olivia Carter's body began to emit a faint blue glow. The blue light, like gentle tendrils, started reaching toward the extremely pure cold bead in William Carter's hand.
This was the manifestation of Olivia Carter's magical power becoming tangible, but with Olivia Carter's current level of magical power, it was impossible for her to control it consciously—this was purely an instinctive reaction.
Although Olivia Carter was still unconscious, she let out a soft sound: "Mmm..."
She seemed to be extremely comfortable. William Carter glanced at Olivia Carter from the corner of his eye and continued to focus on observing the interaction between the magical power and the extremely pure cold energy.
The magical power was like water seeping everywhere, constantly infiltrating the extremely pure cold bead. The cold energy was continuously merging with the magical power, but at the same time, it was expelling the excess immortal energy.
"So that's how it is. It's just like the reaction between the yin-cold energy and immortal energy before. Old Fourth's magical power and this extremely pure cold energy also have their own 'chemical reaction'." William Carter nodded slightly.
Chapter 0012: Ice-type Magical Treasure
William Carter's immortal energy also followed Olivia Carter's magical power, merging into Olivia Carter's body. As time passed, the extremely pure cold energy was being gradually pulled into Olivia Carter's body by her magical power.
This process was not fast. Last time, it took Olivia Carter four days to completely absorb the extremely pure cold energy from the bead. Now, facing an even larger amount of cold energy, the magical power was moving even more slowly.
In over an hour, the magical power had absorbed less than one ten-thousandth of the extremely pure cold energy. At this rate, if Olivia Carter absorbed for an hour a day, it would take at least two or three years to empty the cold bead again.
However, what surprised William Carter the most was that after the extremely pure cold energy entered Olivia Carter's body, it actually began to autonomously repair Olivia Carter's damaged spiritual power.
In fact, when spiritual power is damaged, the body will instinctively try to repair it, but this process takes a very long time. That's why many cultivators are unable to recover for years or even decades after their divine sense is damaged, and the same goes for spiritual power.
But the extremely pure cold energy fully displayed its special property—filling. Driven by the body's instincts, the cold energy was like filling a pit, constantly repairing Olivia Carter's spiritual power.
William Carter had originally been troubled about how to heal Olivia Carter's spiritual power. Although he had many ways to do it, they all required a certain level of cultivation.
With his current mid-stage Qi Gathering cultivation, without any pills and unable to refine any, and with most immortal arts restricted, healing Olivia Carter was no easy task.
However, William Carter felt that this speed was still not fast enough. At this rate, it would take at least a month for Olivia Carter to fully recover.
Looking at the extremely pure cold bead in his hand, William Carter pondered for a moment, then a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Since this extremely pure cold energy helps Old Fourth recover, then I'll give it a boost!" William Carter withdrew the cold bead and began inscribing Dao runes onto its surface one by one.
These Dao runes represent the Heavenly Dao, represent ultimate principles, and can also be seen as words that invoke the forces of heaven and earth.
Different Dao runes have different effects. Some can be used to cast immortal arts, some are for refining tools and pills, and others for setting up formations.
You could say that Dao runes are a field of study in themselves. The more Dao runes you master, the more things you can do—even using them for cultivation or to increase your power.
Back in the day, William Carter plundered many sects and naturally took away quite a few precious Dao runes. Many cultivation sects secretly hoard rare and unique Dao runes, and William Carter would never ignore such a treasure trove.
As each Dao rune was inscribed into the extremely pure cold bead, its blue light grew even more dazzling. William Carter drew in the energy of heaven and earth, forcefully infusing it into the bead.
He wanted to refine this extremely pure cold bead into a magical treasure. Of course, this magical treasure would still be a low-grade one, because with William Carter's current cultivation, that's all he could manage. Besides, even if he refined a top-grade treasure, Olivia Carter wouldn't be able to wield it.
William Carter poured spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the bead, then sealed it inside. At the same time, he carved a small formation onto the bead's surface to absorb spiritual energy from the world, allowing the immortal energy within to be continuously replenished.
This way, it wouldn't be like before, when Olivia Carter would absorb all the cold energy in just a few days, leaving behind a useless magical treasure.
Of course, the main reason was that William Carter wanted to use this extremely pure cold bead to fuse with Olivia Carter's spiritual power, so that it would actively repair her spiritual power, rather than relying on magical power to slowly absorb the cold energy for such a slow recovery.
