Xasha flipped his palm, and a small flask appeared in his palm, it was an ascending potion. This potion lowered the pain associated with compressing his Imperium. It had been around for years now Xasha used it every time he would compress a new crystal. The crystal was finally finished and Xasha looked at the brand new Thorium crystal floating in his now empty Valdis.
This did not take long, as fresh Imperium was already gushing inside moments later. While he was focused on compressing his crystal. He was also focused on opening up another meridian inside his leg. This would improve the flexibility of his fascia line.
There was also Imperium constantly nourishing his brain and all the meridians in his head, trying to stabilize the few he opened recently. Opening a meridian is like threading a needle. The first step is to find the point of entry, then sent a burst of energy to its location.
