mnly. He knew he would have to venture out eventually, for he had a vendetta to settle.
    Gripping his broken sword tightly, a subtle sadness emanated from him.
    "Enough talk, let’s get started with the spiritual energy infusion," the figure said, turning into a beam of light and entering the black bell. The bell hovered above Qin Yi, gathering spiritual light.
    Sitting down, Qin Yi began to meditate, chanting the "Qi Ling Method." A powerful suction force emerged, drawing the sparse spiritual energy towards him.
    His wounds began to heal, his golden-blooded spiritual energy increasing, and his golden-blood thunder essence rapidly restoring.
    "Here it comes!"
    The black bell's voice prompted a wide spiritual energy beam to envelop Qin Yi.
    Spiritual essence surged into him, saturating his body.
    Qin Yi continually formed seals, deep in meditation.
    In that moment, time seemed to slow.


Chapter Forty-Four: Choice

    The thick spiritual energy invaded fiercely, as if thousands of ants were biting at Qin Yi's flesh. He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, his face twisted in agony. His hands trembled yet continued to form seals.
    "Hold on, for the sake of power, for revenge, I must endure!"
    Above him, the black bell continually spewed dense spiritual energy, constantly bombarding his body.
    A powerful force pulled the spiritual energy into Qin Yi's body, flowing through his meridians, causing them to swell.
    In his dantian, the Golden Blood Thunder Essence spun rapidly, surrounded by streams of white spiritual energy. Purple patterns on the Thunder Essence absorbed the white energy, glowing brighter and exuding a faint but domineering aura.
    "Spiritual energy infusion?! How could this great herb miss out on such a good thing!" A delighted voice came from the necklace around Qin Yi's neck.
    The necklace detached and transformed into a platinum gold colored two-leaf herb.
    As soon as the Three-leaf Thousand Thunder Herb appeared, a formidable suction force erupted, generating attraction from five different colored lightnings surrounding it. They all pulled in the spiritual energy from the black bell.
    With the pressure alleviated, Qin Yi felt something was off. He opened his eyes to see the Three-leaf Thousand Thunder Herb above him and immediately scolded, "What are you doing?! This is mine!"
    The herb, faced with Qin Yi, retorted with a plaintive voice, "Look at all the hardship I've endured along the way. Shouldn't I get a share of this spiritual energy too?"
    Realizing the herb’s true intentions, Qin Yi's face darkened. "Get lost!"
    He mobilized the Golden Blood Thunder Essence in his body, forming a platinum-gold lightning in his hand, poised to punch the herb with unparalleled force.
