Li Xian sat beside the meditation cushion.
He adjusted his breathing, concentrated his mind, cleared all distractions, then took out a candle. The candle was three inches long, made from fish fat, and could burn for three days. When lit, its flame was steady and not easily extinguished.
Li Xian lit the candle. Everything was ready. He fixed his gaze on the candle, watching the wax melt and the candle shorten by three millimeters, then immediately consumed some "Yellow Nine Ginseng" ginseng velvet.
[You consumed Human Yellow·Yellow Nine Ginseng, Skill Consumption, Skill Level +79]
[Magic Dao·Unknown… Skill Level +1]
Li Xian breathed steadily, continuing this process tirelessly. Every time the candle shortened by three millimeters, he would consume more ginseng velvet. The dark and gloomy secret room concealed the passage of time, but the length of the candle gave him a vague sense of its flow.
One day passed.
