Su Ming closed his eyes and began circulating his cultivation technique.
He guided the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to slowly nourish his Origin.
But Void Power was far too unusual.
Ordinary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi restored it at an agonizingly slow pace.
At this rate...
Half a day would restore ten percent at most.
That was nowhere near enough.
Su Ming frowned.
This couldn't go on.
He wouldn't withstand Arrogance's fierce assault that afternoon.
He pondered for a moment.
Then he took several pills from his storage pouch.
They were all high-grade Origin-Recovery Pills, capable of quickly replenishing his Origin essence.
These were the finest recovery pills in the Alliance's stockpile.
Normally, he could never bring himself to use them.

Su Ming picked up three pills and swallowed them in one gulp.
The pills melted the moment they entered his mouth.
They turned into warm medicinal energy that spread through his meridians.
His depleted Origin finally received a little replenishment.
Su Ming calmed his mind and focused all his efforts on refining the medicinal energy.
Time trickled by.
The secluded chamber remained silent.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Su Ming slowly opened his eyes.
A trace of helplessness flashed through them.
Three high-grade Origin-Recovery Pills had restored only fifteen percent of his Origin.
Adding the twenty percent he had left before, he had only thirty-five percent in total.

Taking more would not make much difference.
"Looks like this will have to do."
Su Ming sighed softly.

He stood and stretched his limbs.
The weakness lingered, but at least
