After obtaining the rubbing and the "medicine", Han Kun did not use them immediately. The cabins on the ship were very limited, and even though he was the boatswain, he did not have a separate cabin. Most of the time, he slept in a hammock like the other sailors.
He had been pondering the obscure formulas on the rubbings. Being intelligent, he had a good foundation in Chinese studies, and the more he pondered, the more profound and difficult to understand the principles on the rubbings became.
Lion City is now a huge construction site, densely packed with people, and noisy and chaotic. Han Kun asked the captain for leave, saying he needed to find a quiet place to try awakening, and wanted to leave the camp.
Unexpectedly, the captain told him that the prince had always been concerned about him, and that he could try to awaken his powers at the prince's camp, where someone would protect him.
Han Kun was very moved, but he still took leave to get his physical condition to its best and calm his mind completely.
Next to Qin Mo's residence was Kaihime's room. Now, a quiet room has been newly built on the other side. The interior furnishings are simple but very clean.
Han Kun sat cross-legged in the center of the quiet room, with precious sandalwood burning in a bronze incense burner in the corner, making it easier for him to enter a meditative state and try to communicate with the mischievous primordial energy of the earth.
“Father, may your spirit protect your child. I do not want to be a boatswain or a gunner. What I want to be is... a captain.”
Han Kun muttered the words to himself several times, closed his eyes, tilted his head back, swallowed the "medicine," calmed his mind, and carefully felt the flames burning in his abdomen... the flames of vital energy.
The royal-made medicine was very pure, and Han Kun quickly captured the vital energy in his abdomen. Then, he clumsily tried to control it, making it resonate with the earth's vital energy outside his body, so that he could sense and capture that mysterious earth's vital energy.
The captain of the No. 601 frigate was very handsome, Han Kun. He explained to him in detail the process of Lian Chu entering the Dao, all of which was experience gained by exchanging several rubbings of 'medicine'.
According to the captain, although controlling vital energy is somewhat difficult, one can eventually understand its intricacies by taking two or three doses of the "medicine".
The most difficult part is the second step of entering the Dao. You don't know where the vital energy outside your body is, let alone which vital energy can resonate with your body. Aren't those unlucky people who have taken countless "medicines" just like fishing in vain all night, unable to find a trace of vital energy even after the "medicines" have worn off?
Han Kun was extremely lucky. As soon as he started to sense the energy, he found himself surrounded by earth elemental energy. It was gently passing by him, waiting for him to find the perfect match.
When Han Kun successfully captured that mischievous energy and introduced it into his body, he finally shed tears silently.
“Father, I feel it, I feel your guidance, I…”
Han Kun trembled with emotion, muttering to himself about his longing and gratitude for his father. He felt that it must be his deceased father's spirit that had brought him good fortune.
Separated from the meditation room by a wall, Qin Mo sat cross-legged on the couch, cultivating with his eyes closed, while Kaihime sat cross-legged below him, greedily absorbing the earth elemental energy that Qin Mo had lured over.
Qin Mo sensed the energy fluctuations from next door and a relieved smile appeared on his lips. He really wanted to shout it out.
"For the best guidance on entering the path, look to Heng Wang in Danshui, Taiwan!"
