After the Peacock Feather was refined, Miao Miao just took a breath, but suddenly felt that the airflow behind him had changed, and the mana in his body was already several times higher than when he was in his best state, but the mana pouring in from the vest became scorching. There was a drowsiness in her mind, and she couldn't help but lose consciousness. In fact, the reason why the sea dragon feels ethereal, the veins in his body are full of toughness and are wide and flat, and that is due to the queen mother. After entering the Guanghan Palace, in order to lay a good foundation for ethereal, the Queen Mother would let her eat a peach from 3,000 years, 6,000 years and nine years ago every day. Although the effect of the peach is not as good as the ginseng fruit of Zhenyuan Daxian, it has been eaten for three months in a row, which is the same as when Mengyun started to cultivate, which can be described as unique. But after that, because she missed the sea dragon for a long time, Miao Miao didn't have the heart to cultivate at all, and the effect of the peach continued in her body, although the effect did not play much, but it also cleared the magazine in her body and consolidated the veins.

The chaotic qi released by the sea dragon is no longer transformed into the same immortal power as Ethereal in her body, but directly inputs the chaotic qi through her two big hands, what he has to do is to help Ethereal condense her mana, so that her cultivation can make a huge leap. When the sea dragon lowered his head and kissed the ethereal lips, the bridge between heaven and earth communicated instantly, and the ethereal suddenly woke up under the stimulation of the mana in the body, although the scorching heat in the body was extremely uncomfortable, but the wisp of cool air from the sea dragon's mouth made her even keep her awake all the time, and when the ethereal body was shocked, she already understood the intention of the sea dragon. How could she be willing to let the sea dragon consume so much mana? She struggled to leave, but the sea dragon's eyes and fiery lips were full of infinite magic, looking at the tenderness in his eyes, the ethereal heart softened, under the deep kiss of the sea dragon without any ** but full of emotion, she no longer paid attention to the mana in her body, and her heart was intoxicated.

Seeing that Ethereal no longer meant to resist, the sea dragon was relieved and passed through the previous exploration of the Ethereal Vein when refining the Peacock Feather. He found that a large amount of spiritual energy was gathered in the ethereal spirit platform and the dantian, which seemed to be two qi masses, which corresponded to each other, but were not used by the ethereal spirit. Although the sea dragon didn't know that Miao Miao was eating a peach, he also judged that these two air currents must have been something good that Miao Miao had eaten or someone with high mana power who had injected it into her body. Sea Dragon decided. The first thing I have to do is to help Miao Miao absorb the aura of these two air masses, and at the same time. Help her condense her mana and transform it into something of her own. After making his decision, he split his mental power into two strands, one of which entered the mana that was constantly circulating in his ethereal body, since a large part of this mana was input by him. If not condensed. As soon as he leaves his ethereal body, the mana will dissipate immediately. So. The first thought of the sea dragon controlled the chaotic qi that he had just injected into the ethereal body to swim up, slowly refining the mana in the ethereal body into a liquid state, making more room for the meridians, while the other thought commanded the chaotic qi to come to the dantian to the ground qi mass. The reason why the air mass at the altar was not selected first. It is because the air mass at the spiritual platform has a strong protective effect on the divine pill in the ethereal spiritual platform, and in the process of mana condensation, it is inevitable that there will be a collision, and with the protection of the air mass, there is no need to worry about the safety of the ethereal.

When the two air masses in the ethereal body were now, the sea dragon was very excited, because with these two aura full of aura air masses, he could save a lot of effort, otherwise, the first thing he had to do was to constantly lose his mana to the ethereal, in that case, the load on his body would be too great, and then when he controlled the mana in the ethereal body, it would be much more difficult.

The sea dragon's chaotic qi carefully stimulated the air mass in the dantian, the spiritual period seemed to be extremely broad, under the slight stimulation of the chaotic qi, it suddenly turned into a stream of clear water and radiated into the ethereal body, the sea dragon was surprised to find that the air mass was not emitting mana, but it was nourishing mana, making the original mana expand rapidly. The speed was even faster than the condensation of his other chaotic qi. Sensing this, the sea dragon hurriedly slowed down the attraction of the air mass and accelerated the condensation of mana.

Miao Miao only felt that her body was getting hotter and hotter, and the clear stream in the sea dragon's mouth was getting stronger and stronger, and under the interweaving of pain and pleasure, her body began to spasm a little. She wanted to look inside to check the situation inside her, but found that she had lost control of her mana, and everything was in the sea dragon's control. The voice of the sea dragon suddenly sounded in the bottom of my heart, "Relax, everything is with me." Miao Miao has absolute trust in the sea dragon, she understands that since the sea dragon has decided, she will never be able to change the thoughts in his heart, not to feel anything, relax everything, and let the sea dragon deal with it.

Lian Shu looked at the ethereal red cheeks, and a feeling of envy suddenly rose in her heart, and even she herself was startled by the thought in her heart, because deep in her heart, it seemed that she was longing to replace the ethereal current position. Fortunately, the attention of the Peacock Princess, the Little Clever and the Wind Tiger was all on the ethereal body of the sea dragon, and no one noticed her reflection. Unlike her, the other three people paid attention to the changes in the ethereal body, and as time passed, a faint layer of white mist had oozed around the ethereal body, and the white mist continued to flicker with blue-red light, and the mana fluctuated unsteadily. They didn't understand what the sea dragon was going to do, but they could clearly feel that the ethereal was constantly strong.

Time passed minute by minute, and neither the sea dragon, the ethereal nor the Lian Shu moved again. Suddenly, a silver bell-like laugh sounded, blue light flashed, and Lan Ling'er returned. As soon as she entered the backyard, she saw the sea dragon and the ethereal appearance, and suddenly her pretty face turned red, and she floated to the side, originally she wanted to reprimand the sea dragon, but when she found the mana around the ethereal body, she couldn't help but cover her mouth. This situation was all too familiar to her, because her grandfather, Patriarch Bodhi, had also used a similar method to help her improve her cultivation, and that was when it didn't seem to fluctuate as much as the sea dragon and the ethereal mana. Although Lan Ling'er was naughty, she still knew the severity, but she was afraid of alarming the two sea dragons, so she cautiously retreated to Lian Shu's side and asked in a low voice, "How did the sea dragon pass on the power for the ethereal?"

Lian Shu reluctantly pulled his gaze back from the sea dragon's ethereal body, and said in a low voice, "I don't know either. It started shortly after you left. It seems that it can't be done for a while. ”

Lan Ling'er frowned and said, "The sea dragon is too arrogant." This kind of transmission is very dangerous, and when my grandfather first passed on the gong to me, he only carried out it in a part of his body, so how could he pass on the gong in such a comprehensive way, wouldn't he be afraid that his mana would be greatly weakened? Moreover, if his mana was exhausted in the middle of the transmission, it would only be harmful to the ethereal and would not help at all. He was too daring. ”

Lianshu said: "There shouldn't be any danger." The cultivation of the sea dragon is very strong, and when you went out to recruit fellow disciples at that time, he also had a discussion with the predecessors of the Bodhi Patriarch for a while, and it seemed that they were evenly divided. And from the beginning to the present, although Sister Ethereal is constantly changing, the mana around Hailong's own body has always remained stable. It seems that it has not caused too much load. Sister Ling'er, you said that your master once passed on the gong to you, how did this be transmitted? Could it be that the mana between immortals can be transformed into each other?"

Lan Ling'er shook her head and said, "Of course not, the transformation of mana in the immortal world is also very dangerous, and several conditions must be met." First of all, the cultivator must be much more advanced than the person being transmitted, and the control of mana must be very strong, and the mana of the two must come from the same source, otherwise, it will not be transmitted at all. In the process of transmitting mana, the transmitter first injects his own mana into the body of the person being transmitted, and then helps it condense and convert it into liquid mana. After passing through the person who has been transmitted

The process of turning the golden pill at the Lingtai into a used one is very complicated and extremely dangerous, and even if it is successful, it will be harmful to the practitioners. For example, if a person uses a total of 10 percent of his mana, he must use 70 percent of it to control, condense and consume it. In the end, it is already a very good situation to be able to have 30% of the mana absorbed by the practitioner, and even if everything is restored smoothly, the cultivator's cultivation will be reduced by a lot, and it will take a long time to come back from cultivation. It is precisely because there are so many conditions that this kind of transmission of gong rarely occurs in the immortal world. After all, it takes courage to be willing to pay for the other party a large amount of mana that you have worked so hard to cultivate, and you will never do this without an extremely intimate relationship and the determination to give everything for the other party. When my grandfather first passed on the exercises to me, it was not long after I first started practicing. After all, it is very dangerous for both the transmitter and the person being transmitted. Sea Dragon and Ethereal don't seem to be cultivating the same kind of mana, so how could he pass on the power for Ethereal?"

Lian Shu couldn't help but gasp after listening to Lan Ling'er's explanation, and the feeling of envy in her heart suddenly became even stronger. After leaving the Buddha realm with Hailong and Ethereal, she had never heard Hailong say anything sweet to Ethereal, but Hailong's actions today have proved his love for Ethereal, every look between them is full of emotion, is love really so intoxicating?

With the efforts of the sea dragon, the aura in the ethereal dantian was finally completely transformed, and at this time, the mana in the ethereal body continued to rotate according to her own cultivation route, but the current mana has completely taken on a liquid state, and has changed from the original light blue to dark blue, and the mana has surpassed the realm of the Heavenly Monarch. The situation on the ethereal body is unique, the body itself contains the aura of the peach, coupled with the sea dragon's selfless use of chaotic qi to help her integrate and melt, in one day, she has changed from an ordinary immortal in the fairy world to a master of the fairy world equivalent to the level of the heavenly monarch, but everything is not over. After the sea dragon helped the ethereal ethereal transform the mana in the dantian, she did not rush to continue to transform the mana in her spiritual platform, but withdrew a stream of chaotic qi that had been input into the ethereal body, and quickly absorbed the immortal qi in the air to restore her body. The mana in the ethereal body had been completely condensed into a liquid state, and the mana he left in the ethereal body began to transform the ethereal meridians itself with the fire power of chaotic qi. Although the meridians in the ethereal body were moistened by the peach, they did not completely absorb the spiritual platform attached to it, and in Hailong's opinion, her meridians were not tough enough. Therefore, Hailong absolutely helped her transform completely. Due to the experience of making meridians when refining the Yuan Shen at the beginning, the transformation can be described as a familiar way. Where the chaotic qi passed, the ethereal meridians suddenly turned red, and the remaining slight impurities in the meridians were completely refined by the pure fire power of the chaotic qi, and the peach aura attached to the meridians was turned into it. The process of transformation was not open at first, but when the sea dragon's own chaotic qi recovered somewhat, he improved a lot, and his mental power was divided into ten strands with the maximum load he could bear, and at the same time began to change the ten places of the meridians in the ethereal body. Ten arrows are fired at once, and the speed is naturally much faster. The clothes on her ethereal body that had been transformed by mana were gone, and her body was like a piece of jade that had been burned red by the flames, constantly oozing a trace of heat.

A low moan came out of her mouth, and she only felt as if her body was about to melt, and the clear stream in the sea dragon's mouth was no longer enough to clear her mind, and she gradually entered a state of drowsy. Seeing such a scene, Lan Ling'er couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God, what is he doing? Is he crazy? He dares to do such a dangerous thing as transforming the meridians." ”

The breeze caressed, and there were two more figures beside Lan Ling'er, who were Bodhi Patriarch and Yunyang Little Heavenly Master. The Sea Dragon Gang has been transforming its body for three full days. Patriarch Bodhi used his mana to restore his cultivation. He was really injured that day, although there was nothing on the surface, but due to carelessness did not summon the Tianji Armor, the Tianji Armor formed that layer of defense was not enough to resist the indestructible power of the golden hoop rod, and the bones on his body at that time were broken as many as seven, just to save his face, the Bodhi Patriarch did not express it.

"Don't disturb them, the sea dragon has this strength, we just need to protect the Dharma for him. Patriarch Bodhi raised his hands and slowly pushed forward, and the absolute space under the Peacock Princess suddenly disappeared, and a layer of golden light took its place. With a flash of colored light, the peacock princess floated to the ground, gasping slightly, and said, "Thank you, Senior." I didn't expect them to take such a long time. Their mana fluctuations are so strong that if you don't take over, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. "Although it doesn't emit much, the pure firepower of the chaotic qi is indeed difficult to resist. Fortunately, the peacock princess's own ice bone coagulation** belongs to the cold nature, so she barely persevered. She didn't dare to slack off, and crossed her knees on the ground to recover her mana.

Yun Yang exclaimed: "The sea dragon is indeed blessed, Sun Wukong has accepted a good brother, and his cultivation is far above me." This chaotic qi is indeed worthy of the righteousness of heaven and earth!"

While protecting the sea dragon and the ethereal with absolute space, the Bodhi Patriarch smiled and said, "You have too many ups and downs on weekdays, and your cultivation is slack, otherwise, how can you praise others." ”

Yun Yang was speechless for a moment, and Lan Ling'er said: "Grandpa, can the sea dragon really help Ethereal transform the meridians? Since his mana is so strong, let him help me change it." ”

Patriarch Bodhi frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Even if the sea dragon was willing, I wouldn't allow it. Don't you see what they are like now? You and Hailong are just ordinary friends, do you want to meet him ** and be so affectionate? Do you think the transformation of the meridians is a joke?" Lan Ling'er was immediately ashamed when she heard the words of the Bodhi Patriarch, and her pretty face was as red as a ripe apple, but she still couldn't help but refute: "Isn't it just to kiss for a while? If you can transform the meridians, what is it to kiss them? Didn't you say that if I successfully transform the meridians myself, my cultivation will make great progress?"

A smile flashed in the eyes of the Bodhi Patriarch, and he really had nothing to do with his naughty granddaughter, and reprimanded: "Nonsense. How can you say such a thing as a girl. Don't you even want your own dignity in the face of interests? To transform the meridians by external forces requires mutual spiritual communication, and who can do it except between husband and wife? Don't be delusional, cultivating yourself for a little more every day is much better than being opportunistic. His words not only disappointed Lan Ling'er, but also made Lian Shu's mentality change again. It's not that she craves great strength, but she craves the feeling of being pampered. Hailong's appearance is now handsome, and his cultivation is profound, and unconsciously, he has entered the depths of her heart. After thousands of years of penance, all kinds of emotions in Lianshu's heart have long been suppressed and gradually disappeared, but the appearance of the sea dragon has ignited a small but full of vitality in her heart.

Two days later, a clear roar came from the sea dragon's mouth, and he had let go of the ethereal ethereal that he was holding, and his ethereal body was completely enveloped in a layer of golden light. The sea dragon held his hands up, his ethereal body floated horizontally in the golden light, and the sea dragon's whole body lit up with a layer of purple qi. His right arm swelled, and he slapped three palms at the ethereal in mid-air one after another, and in the surging mana, the ethereal ethereal was suspended there like a golden cocoon. The clothes on the sea dragon's right arm disappeared. Purple scales covered it, and he was about to make his final sprint. The meridians in his ethereal body had been completely transformed by him. What is needed now is to dissolve the aura at the Lingtai and absorb it by the ethereal body, and then let all the mana in the ethereal body run through the Lingtai Divine Pill for a week. Form a reincarnation. In that way, the sea dragon can be considered a real success. All the mana in her ethereal body can also be used by herself, making her cultivation a qualitative leap.

The sea dragon used the three palms of the chaotic qi mixed with Long Xiangyu to instantly disperse the aura in the ethereal spirit platform, and all the aura instantly radiated to all parts of the ethereal body, and the sea dragon used his own mental power to protect the ethereal elixir that had been strengthened a lot, and forcibly sucked back the aura that had just been emitted, so that they could act on moisturizing the elixir.

What everyone around saw was that circles of purple light continued to emanate from the sea dragon's body, condensing the golden cocoon into the air, and even the prohibition under the Bodhi Patriarch had a crumbling feeling.

Boom, the prohibition of the Bodhi Patriarch suddenly exploded without warning, the sea dragon spurted out a mouthful of blood, his body staggered back a few steps, and the golden cocoon in the air was erected in front of him, like an entity, constantly exuding a trace of domineering mana. Patriarch Bodhi and Little Heavenly Master Yunyang floated up at the same time, each stretched out a palm and pressed it on the left and right shoulders of the sea dragon, and the pure mana was like a great river of the Yangtze River into the sea dragon's already empty body, and the transformation of the primordial spirit into chaotic qi moistened his body.

The sea dragon's breathing gradually weakened, and although his face was pale, his breath gradually became even. His gaze remained on the golden cocoon, and there was a smile of relief in his eyes. Yes, he succeeded.

With his shoulders shaking slightly, the sea dragon who had recovered two percent of his mana barely shook the palms of Bodhi Patriarch and Yun Yang, turned around and said respectfully: "Thank you for your help, my brother is no longer in the way." ”

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "You have really opened our eyes! Even without our help, your mana will recover on its own." However, it is better not to do the same thing in the future. If my guess is correct, you must have some spiritual thing to help you with, otherwise, it will never be possible to complete this huge project. ”

The sea dragon smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect to spend so much mana. After I became an immortal, I once went down to the human world to pick up my other wife into the immortal world, at that time, in order to enhance her strength, I helped her transform the meridians, and my mana at that time was far inferior to now, and I also succeeded. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to transform the meridians for the ethereal, but fortunately, there were two treasure troves in her body. It contains sufficient aura, otherwise, I can only give up halfway. However, now that Ethereal Cultivation has improved a lot, according to my judgment, from the perspective of mana, it should not be much worse than her senior sister Mengyun. ”

Lan Ling'er shook her head and said, "Is Sister Mengyun the junior sister of Sister Mengyun? Sister Mengyun is the one I admire the most." How come this kind of good thing didn't happen to me, I can become a master of the immortal realm without cultivating. ”

Patriarch Bodhi said angrily: "You girl, you think about getting something for nothing all day long." Sea Dragon, I look at the fairy talisman at the center of your wife's eyebrows, in the past, she should have been the best at thunder law. ”

The sea dragon nodded and said, "When she was in the human world, the ethereal control of the thunder law was incomparable to anyone, and her self-created Shenxiao Thunder Dance used to be one of the strongest spells in the human world. ”

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "I can't do charcoal in the snow, so let's put the icing on the cake." Fangcun Mountain's Cangling Arrow Method is also one of the thunder methods. It is impossible to summon heavenly thunder in the fairy world, and the thunder power used needs to be condensed by itself, since you don't need the Cangling Archery Technique, I will pass it on to your wife. Hai Long paused for a moment and said, "Master, how does this make her not her own disciple!"

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and said, "She is your wife, and she can also be regarded as half of her own disciple, and when you and Yunyang put aside their views on the door, I have decided not to cherish myself anymore." It's so decided, perhaps, the Cangling Archery method is taught to her, and she can have a deeper understanding. You take a rest first, and when Ethereal has fully fused her mana, you bring her to me. ”

Hailong just wanted to say something more, but saw that the figure of the Bodhi Patriarch had faded and had disappeared.

He was full of gratitude to this ancestor in his heart, and secretly swore that as long as there was something in the future, even if he was thousands of miles away, he would inevitably come to help, and he would always be the younger brother of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Two days later, seven days after the sea dragon began to pass on the ethereal exercises, the golden cocoon standing in the backyard changed. The sea dragon's mana has almost recovered. I've been guarding the courtyard.

A clear groan sounded, and irregular cracks appeared on the golden cocoon. A trace of cold mana oozed from the crack, and a layer of frost was plated on the outside of the golden cocoon. There was a sound of shattering, and a graceful figure appeared in front of the sea dragon, and she danced. A cloud of light and shadow appeared, and the original dark green long hair turned sky blue, and even the sea dragon couldn't figure out the direction of the graceful dance steps. The mana was agitated, and the long white skirt covered the delicate body of this **, swinging with her dance. The clear eyes and the moving posture all touched the heart of the sea dragon.

The applause rang out, and the peacock princess didn't know when she came to the backyard, and exclaimed: "What a wonderful cold moon incense dance." It is worthy of being the first body method in the fairy world, which is really eye-opening for me!"

The sea dragon chuckled lightly, and the sound of the ethereal dance was heard, and the cloud rode upside down in the path of the ethereal footsteps, and the chaotic aura restrained the ethereal phantom and hugged her into his arms. The ethereal body was cold, and the golden symbol in the form of lightning at the center of the brow had disappeared. There was a look of disgust in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Don't take it as an example." ”

Hai Long knew that she was blaming herself for helping her improve her cultivation without telling her, so he smiled slightly and promised, "Definitely." ”

The peacock princess looked at the two people who hugged each other tightly, and couldn't help but think of the sweet moment when she was with the eel, and sighed in her heart, Brother Eel, where are you? I really miss you.

............

Floating in mid-air, the little ghost looked sullen. It's been two days since I left Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. Everyone is getting closer and closer to Wuzhuang Temple. After the ethereal sobered up, the Bodhi Patriarch personally taught her the cultivation method of the Fangcun Mountain Immortal Law Cangling Arrow, and when the Ethereal could be skillfully used, a group of six people also bid farewell to the Bodhi Patriarch and others, and embarked on the road to Wuzhuang Guandi. Lan Ling'er originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Patriarch Bodhi, who ordered her to assist Yunyang in taking charge of the teaching of a large number of newly recruited disciples in Fang Cun Mountain, and there were so many ordinary immortals who could let her "teach", so she didn't insist on coming anymore.

"What's the matter, little clever, you don't seem to be very happy for the past two days!" the sea dragon asked with some confusion.

The little ghost glanced at him and said, "Now, I'm getting worse and worse than you. My mana progress has been extremely slow in the past few days, and now I haven't even practiced the first form of the Qianjun Stick Method. Hailong smiled and said: "It turns out that it is for this! Otherwise, after the Wuzhuang Temple, I will also pass on the gong for you." Is this always possible? Cultivation is in no hurry. ”

Xiao Jiling shook his head and said, "I don't need you to pass on the exercises." I'm not glass, and if you kiss me, I won't vomit more than three times a day?"

The sea dragon was not angry because of the little ghost's words, he knew that the little ghost was afraid that he would be in danger if he consumed too much mana. Indeed, he was not sure that he would be able to pass on the skills to the little ghost without assistance, so he had to say: "Don't think too much, when you get to Wuzhuang Temple, I will ask Uncle Zhenyuan Daxian to give you a ginseng fruit." That's a treasure that gets the aura of the field. ”

Xiao Jiling's eyes lit up, and he said, "I have heard of the wonder of ginseng fruit when I first came to the fairy world, you have to talk and count." ”

Hailong said in his heart, I had eaten as many as five at the beginning! The little ghost is the master's newly adopted brother, and the master is not a stingy person, so he should be able to fulfill the little ghost.

He smiled and said, "Little Clever Spirit, you are so stupid! Actually, you should not ask for the sea dragon, but for another person." ”

The little wit was clever, looked at the ethereal and said, "Sister-in-law, who should I beg for? Could it be you? I have the same exercises as Hailong and Hailong, and only he can help me!"

With a mysterious smile, he pointed to the peacock princess next to him and said, "Of course you should ask the princess." The princess is extremely clever and has researched countless artifacts. Didn't you say that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, why don't you ask the princess to help you find a way to refine a magic weapon that suits you? With a magic weapon, it will naturally be much easier for you to cultivate. ”

Little Clever blinked, slapped his head hard, and said, "yes! The monkey suddenly had a little more smile on his face, looked at the peacock princess, and said with a smile: "Sister Peacock." You won't be stingy, I'm so pitiful! Cultivation is so bad, if you encounter an enemy, you will only be bullied. As he spoke, he also put on a look of grievance.

The peacock princess chuckled and said, "Ethereal, you really will divert your gaze! She smiled slightly, although she didn't speak, but her demeanor obviously said, I don't look at the sea dragon or to whom. In a flash of light, the peacock princess had a glittering long stick in her hand, the body of the stick was transparent, exuding a trace of coolness, and under the sunlight, it refracted colorful light.

"Little Clever Spirit, in fact, I started to prepare it for you when you first asked for a magic weapon from the sea dragon, but at that time I only had materials and had not been refined. In the past few days, I have already entered the basic magic array into it, so that it has a certain attack power, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law have the ability to let them upgrade you to a high-level immortal weapon. As he spoke, he threw the stick to the little ghost.

The little ghost has always longed for a fairy weapon, and when he took the long stick, he was overjoyed, and thanked the peacock princess again and again. The long stick was in his hands, and the cold feeling instantly spread throughout his body, which immediately lifted his spirits.
