Grey decided to postpone his departure until he was absolutely ready. He wanted to refine more poison and Assimilate the Forbidden Monarch art.
As soon as he said down cross legged and began to breathe in according to the Method recorded in the Jade slip, Grey felt a cold unpleasant energy fuse into his body.
His body involuntarily shuddered as cold air seeped under his skin and into his blood. But this was normal. After that, be circulated the cold energy within his body on the same path that spirit energy usually circulated. But when the cold energy passed his spirit energy, there was no reaction. It was as if his spirit energy could not be bothered with the cold and foreign energy.
With his spirit energy ignoring the cold energy, he completed one full circulation round his body. At that time, Grey felt a slight chilling coldness surface deep within his body.
'This is the first sign of success!'
