No matter whether it was the essence, qi, and spirit within the body or the myriad things outside, no matter how they were broken down and transformed, only "elements" could be extracted—not "spirit energy."
Yet Benjamin had not only cultivated spirit energy through that method; he had already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It was no exaggeration to say that this was truly Benjamin's earliest encounter with "creating something from nothing."
"Thinking about it now, the cultivation method Great Dao Library gave me was probably far from ordinary. Though on the surface, it merely looked like ordinary Refining Essence into Qi..."
