Orion settled into the technique. Let it run. Stopped trying to control every detail and just maintained the overall flow.
Solar energy poured in through his skin and lungs. The channels vibrated at perfect frequencies. Conversion happened automatically. Exotic energy flooded his system.
The ring halo compressed most of it. Growing steadily. The golden structure becoming more complete with every passing second.
The cellular circulation refined the rest. Strengthening every part of his body continuously.
Passive cultivation activated. Even though he was meditating—actively focusing—the technique would continue running in the background once established. He could walk around. Work on designs. Sleep. And his body would keep absorbing energy. Keep cultivating. Keep getting stronger.
The sun moved across the sky. Orion remained motionless on the grass.
One hour became two.
