On the mountain top, Shi Caiming retracted his hand from Li Fei's Dantian.
"The consciousness of the eighth-grade Heavenly Water Blue Soul Beast has completely integrated into the Heavenly Water Soul Bone. If I attempt to erase its consciousness, the Heavenly Water Soul Bone might go completely berserk and damage your Tao Foundation, so I only sealed its consciousness and halted the continuous absorption of essence, energy, and spirit from you."
Shi Caiming said to Li Fei, "However, part of the Heavenly Water Soul Bone has already integrated into your Tao Foundation, and it's impossible to stop it from absorbing energy from your body unless you sever the Tao Foundation's external absorption."
The Implant, even after reaching the Qi Change Stage, still needs to continuously absorb energy, which the human body provides.
Therefore, even if not in battle, Martial Artists need to consume elixirs or special food that provide energy to sustain the Implant's survival within the body.
