[SYNTHESIZING...]
A pill materialized in his hand—glowing soft gold, warm to the touch, pulsing with concentrated spiritual energy.
He tilted Liling's unconscious head back, placed the pill on her tongue, and channeled a thread of his own Qi to help her body absorb it.
The effect was immediate.
Her body began to glow. Soft golden light emanating from her skin, growing brighter by the second.
Then she started floating.
"WHAT—?!"
The maids screamed as their young miss's limp body rose into the air, suspended three feet above the ground, limbs hanging loose.
Golden energy spiraled around her, entering through every pore, and deep in her lower belly—
A core was forming.
Crystallizing from pure Qi. Building itself into existence where before there had been nothing.
Spiritual energy poured into her body from the surrounding environment, drawn by the forming core like water to a drain.
The maids watched in shock and awe, tears streaming down their faces.
"She's—she's—!!"
