The Great Sun rose.
9:00 a.m. was approaching.
Before 9:00 a.m., he had already broken through the ice to enter the water to recover his own state.
At this time, Jiang Ning had already finished preparing.
A moment later.
He glanced at the sundial in the courtyard. As the sun slowly moved overhead, the time promptly reached 9:00 a.m.
The next moment.
Jiang Ning concentrated.
With the warm jade on his chest, he found that focusing his mind was much simpler than before.
Without making much adjustment, he focused his mind in an instant. His mind was clear, with not a single stray thought.
Immediately.
He assumed the Five Hearts Facing Heaven posture, then slightly tilted his head upwards and took a slow breath from the warm sun above.
Instantly, a strand of the Five Elements' Great Sun Essence Qi was drawn from the void into his nostrils.
The Great Sun Essence Qi entered his lungs through his nostrils. Though it was intensely hot, he felt no pain from burns.
