Cai Qiu Calendar, Year 291, November 18th, Nighttime
Top floor of Jiang Mansion's tallest building, tranquil meditation room
Xia Hong sat cross-legged on the Lotus Platform with his eyes closed, surrounded by clouds of crimson medicinal power enveloping him like a cocoon of blood. A dark red bone appearance hovered silently behind him, covered in molten rock patterns, approximately eight zhang tall. The crimson veins on its exterior were clearly visible, almost fully formed.
Hoo... hoo...
As Xia Hong's breaths became increasingly prolonged, the absorption speed of the crimson medicinal power continued to accelerate, causing the cocoon's color to thin. His bone appearance also kept growing and expanding, albeit almost imperceptibly, as such change eluded the naked eye.
Buzz......
A long time passed, and when the final wisp of medicinal power was absorbed by the bones, the bone appearance behind Xia Hong suddenly emitted a buzzing sound before fully setting.
