"Still, I have to start with that batch of old books!" Wei Yuan muttered to himself.
Having already agreed with Liu Haisheng to send the second batch of books to the school tomorrow, Wei Yuan couldn't go back on his word and decided to begin with the two large boxes of old books.
Now, the quantity of Silver-gray Mist in his mind was decreasing, barely reaching about half. As for Light Ink-Colored Mist, he was now quite adept at using it. Wei Yuan consciously controlled the light ink-colored mist, keeping it in his hands, and slowly waited for it to turn into Transparent Substance upon contact with the air.
When he extracted a large handful of Dark Ink-colored Mist from his mind all at once, Wei Yuan discovered an issue: when it transformed into Transparent Substance in his hands, a portion always seemed to disappear. This missing part must be the energy required for the transformation, indicating that some energy would inevitably be lost during the entire process.
Such wastefulness was naturally not a good thing, but currently, Wei Yuan had not figured out how to address this problem. Although he had gained the Ability, he still needed to be cautious in its usage.
It was similar to the principle of going astray in martial arts; the energy of Ability permeated throughout his body, so using it required utmost caution. Of course, this carefulness stemmed mainly from his incomplete mastery of the true nature of Restorative Power.
Following the same pattern as before, Wei Yuan extracted the misty substance, which automatically transformed into his hands. He controlled its application on the old books, and gradually, he saw that the damaged parts were being restored anew. As for those missing pages and fragments, they reappeared as well; this should be evidence that Repairing Ability was restoring them to their optimal state.
It meant that even the previously lost parts had originally existed intact. So when Restorative Power came into contact with those areas, everything began reverting to its original condition.
When Dark Ink-colored Mist first appeared, Wei Yuan was somewhat worried. Therefore, during the restoration process, he chose to use Silver-gray Mist. However, even while using it, he gradually cultivated Light Ink-Colored Mist. Now directly using the light ink-colored mist, Wei Yuan found that no matter how much he used, the Silver-gray part would naturally transform into light ink color.
"It’s happening again; it's starting to develop towards the second form of Dark Ink-colored Mist. It seems Silver-gray Mist will definitely be gradually replaced and eventually disappear!"
Feeling a slight unusual reaction in his mind, Wei Yuan knew this was a sign of overusing Restorative Power. Although each time he used it had increased limits, it couldn't stop him from preparing to restore these two large boxes of old books all at once.
The last time he absorbed Lan Xue's Amulet, although the Spiritual Energy contained within could not compare to this pile of Vase Fragments, it still gave Wei Yuan an illusion: besides supplementing the misty substance used and assisting in its transformation, Spiritual Energy seemed to also help expand the usage limits of Restorative Power and improve his physical condition!
Of course, this kind of illusion has already been confirmed. During the last basketball game, there was a sudden enhancement in both jumping ability and shooting accuracy. This should be the effect brought by Spiritual Energy. Now, I can completely restore two large boxes of old books at once, which is an improvement compared to before!
Feeling that the usage limit of Restorative Power had reached a bottleneck, Wei Yuan decisively stopped and began to slowly open the bag filled with fragments of the Listening Wind Bottle.
As soon as the bag was opened, Wei Yuan could feel the rich Spiritual Energy rushing towards him through the Mist-like Space. He took out two pieces and quickly rewrapped the entire bag.
The first time he restored something containing Spiritual Energy was with Lan Xue's Amulet. Wei Yuan still clearly remembered that when he used Restorative Power, it happened to counteract with Spiritual Energy, which instead helped promote the growth of Spiritual Energy.
Although it is possible to restore while forcibly ignoring Spiritual Energy, the input of energy would have to increase several times. He feared that just restoring these two fragments into one would exhaust him to death.
Of course, to avoid such a tragedy, Wei Yuan wasn't that foolish. He originally planned to mobilize the Dark Ink-colored Mist in his mind to absorb the Spiritual Energy on the Vase Fragments, but still worried that he wouldn't be able to withstand the overly rich Spiritual Energy. So, he decided to use the first form of Silver-gray Mist as before!
As he began to mobilize his consciousness, Silver-gray Mist started reacting with the Spiritual Energy contained in the Vase Fragments. Gradually, the Spiritual Energy from the Vase Fragments began to flow continuously into Wei Yuan's Mist-like Space in his mind. Of course, during this process, some loss of Spiritual Energy was unavoidable.
Similarly, Wei Yuan discovered that during the process of absorbing Spiritual Energy, the lost Spiritual Energy did not disappear into thin air like when inputting Restorative Power; instead, part of it flowed towards his Dantian!
"How could this be?" Wei Yuan exclaimed in surprise. It seemed he hadn't noticed this situation when he absorbed the Amulet for the first time.
It appeared that this was the reason for the change in his constitution; was Spiritual Energy beginning to cleanse his body through his Dantian?
Slowly entering into the Mist-like Space, the Spiritual Energy began to react. Wei Yuan felt that those Silver-gray Mist used for absorption started to expand. When they came into contact with Dark Ink-colored Mist, they were inevitably devoured and merged, ultimately transforming into the second form of Dark Ink-colored Mist.
"These two broken Vase Fragments contain such abundant Spiritual Energy!" Wei Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Wei Yuan felt that the Spiritual Energy contained in the two Vase Fragments had not yet been fully absorbed, and he himself was unable to hold on any longer. The largest fragment of this vase was likely more abundant in Spiritual Energy than that Amulet. Wei Yuan sensed that during the process of absorbing Spiritual Energy, the Mist-like Space in his mind was beginning to become overwhelmed.
Perhaps it was due to his lack of attention to the speed of absorption; as a result, the misty forms in his mind were continuously transforming, and the speed of devouring and merging was too rapid, causing the Mist-like Space to start sending commands back to him. Wei Yuan quickly tried to control the speed at which the Mist-like Space absorbed Spiritual Energy!
He originally planned to gradually stop absorbing Spiritual Energy, but in his haste, he accidentally knocked over the tea table beside him. A loud crash echoed through the room. Upon hearing the noise, Han Ling quickly covered herself with a blanket, thinking that these two rivals were up to some mischief again.
On the other hand, Yang Ying was startled awake by the loud noise. She opened the door and shouted at Wei Yuan, "Boss, if you have a problem with me sleeping in your bed, just say it! Why are you flipping tables?"
Yang Ying sat down next to Wei Yuan and placed her hand on his forehead. She checked his temperature and found it indeed a bit hot. Then this charming beauty displayed infinite maternal love by hugging Wei Yuan's head, allowing him to rest comfortably against her. However, Wei Yuan noticed that the place he was leaning against felt a bit too soft; it seemed something was off about this position!
"You damn it, are you trying to use this to kick me out?" Yang Ying said with a gentle demeanor, but her tone was chilling.
Suddenly, Wei Yuan felt a reaction from the Spiritual Energy trapped in his Dantian; he felt a sudden swell and immediately jumped up from that warm spot, preparing to dash toward the bathroom. Yang Ying followed closely behind, asking, "Hey, if I let you sleep in your room, are you going to make me owe a month's rent for staying here?"
At this moment, Wei Yuan had no time to respond to her. He rushed into the bathroom and quickly shut the door. Little did he know that Yang Ying was still outside chattering away: "Hurry up and tell me! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep. You woke me up; if I'm late for work tomorrow, it's all your fault!"
