Before beginning cultivation, in order to avoid disturbances from Yin Demons, he took out a Soul Calming Pill from his sleeve and swallowed it, then retrieved the Golden Cloud Sand.
He tossed the sand into the air. Before it could fall, a stream of Spiritual Energy surged forth from his crown, catching the sand and suspending it a foot above his head. Zhang Yan settled onto the stone platform, releasing the bindings on his Heart and Spirit, allowing Essence from his Qi Sea to surge toward the sand.
Abundant Spiritual Energy from the external world streamed into his body unceasingly, continuously activating the spiritual mechanism. Eighty-one strands of Spiritual Energy rotated gently within his chest, persistently generating Essence and funneling it toward the sand. One cycle propelled the next, ensuring the refining process remained uninterrupted.
