Immortality Starts With Generosity by Plutus

“It’s still bullshit that I can’t use this.”

“You can,” Lan Fen said, kicking up her feet and watching the precious liquid qi splash. “It will just suck out all your water energy to improve the pool.”

Dipping in the Mourning Pool of Patriarch Lan was a far different experience compared to a monster's Mourning Pool. Both were vibrant, but where the monsters felt like a condensation of the worlds natural energies, Patriarch Lan’s was like someone had liquefied the essence of a forest. The wood-attribute liquid qi flooded his meridans and eagerly accepted the nourishment of his water-attribute qi, letting itself be dyed in his color and becoming his own. If anything it was easier to absorb the liquid qi of Patriarch Lan’s Mourning Pool than the ambient water energy of the cavern. It made sense too, it was qi that had been processed by a human before. Now that it was ownerless, it wasn’t difficult for another human to claim it.
