Gold elemental essence.
Inside a defensive restriction.
Bai Ming sat in a lotus position, completely drenched in sweat. Both of his palms were facing the golden liquid hovering before his chest, constantly changing its shape.
Wisps of golden strands of pure core elemental gold energies crept out and entered Bai Ming's palms as he continued to draw in more energy. The strands were thick, visible, and twisted around like serpents.
It entered his meridians and were filtered until it became refined gold energy which entered his dantian.
With a thought, the heaven and earth essence within him acted like iron hands that gripped the refined gold energies and dragged them into his spirit root. All of it was turned into a small vortex and was slowly becoming a part of his spirit root.
Soon, a delicate yet explosive balance was reached. After several hours of persistence, Bai Ming's palms had a thin layer of gold covering them.
