It was getting late and night had fallen. Olive made some food and left after saying a few words.
Darryl sighed out of relief as he watched Olive walk away. He became overcome with emotion when he thought of Jewel, Yvette, and the others. 'I have no idea what's going on with them now.'
After eating, he started meditating and resting, trying to acquire the energy of the Red Lotus Fayette. Soon, he entered a state and felt the strange energy within the blood lotus marks. The energy dispersed into his limbs, skull and his meridians. That feeling made him extremely comfortable and accelerated the speed of acquisition.
However, it could not be achieved overnight. Jade Immortal once said to him that the energy of the Red Lotus Fayette could not be acquired within one or two days and required time. However, Darryl was desperate to restore his powers and had forgotten Jade Immortal's words.
Soon, the energy of the blood lotus marks became stronger and Darryl could barely withstand it and he felt like his body was on fire.
Then, Darryl gained consciousness and felt instant regret. 'F*ck! I was so focused on acquiring the energy of the Red Lotus Fayette that I forgot the principle of the reversal of the extremes.'
Instantly, heat spread throughout Darryl's body and the scorching heat became more intense, attacking Darryl's nerves. Then, he shouted in pain and was writhing on the ground.
'If I had known better, I wouldn't have taken the shortcut,' he thought to himself as he helplessly rolled on the ground. In the end, he became unconscious.
After being unconscious for a night, Darryl finally opened his eyes slowly.
The moment he opened his eyes, he realized he was still in the thatched cottage. His surroundings was quiet and the sun was just rising.
'Luckily, no one saw what happened,' Darryl muttered. He was overjoyed as he felt the sensation in his body.
Darryl could clearly feel the burning pain and the weakness had disappeared. It was replaced by inexhaustible strength. Not only that, but he could also speak.
At that speed, Darryl would be able to combine his fairy soul in less than a month and his powers would be stronger than ever before.
