CULTIVATION CHAMBER - 8:17 PM
Orion stopped observing passively. Time to engage actively.
He'd been letting the Infinite Circulation Method run on automatic. Absorbing exotic energy naturally. Letting it flow into the ring halo without conscious direction.
That ended now.
Orion focused his full consciousness on cultivation. Took direct control of every energy channel. Every frequency vibration. Every circulation pathway.
The absorption rate increased immediately.
Exotic energy flooded in from all directions. The liquid touching his skin. The gas filling his lungs. The crystals radiating through the chamber walls. All of it converging. All of it flowing into his channels simultaneously.
The channels vibrated at perfect frequencies. Solar. Thermal. Electromagnetic. Sound. Nature. Every energy type being absorbed and converted. The exotic energy already in the chamber didn't need conversion—just direct absorption. Pure fuel flowing straight into his system.
