Ryu's eyes trained on the Black Vein Lilies. Suddenly, he felt his pupils pulsing. It wasn't painful, but rather incredibly comfortable. Ryu could feel their excitement.
'These Black Vein Lilies… They have some connection to my Heavenly Pupils?' Ryu turned pensive for a moment.
The good news about the Mental Realm Path was that its rules differed from the Body and Qi Paths. Just like how Mental Realm techniques didn't restrict who could use them by cultivation level, so too did their spirit herbs not restrict their consumption. This meant that Ryu could ingest these lilies without fear of imploding from too much excess energy.
This wasn't because Mental Realm type spirit herbs didn't have a lot of energy within them. Rather, it was because Spiritual Qi was the closest thing to Essence that was readily available. Essence was the purest energy in existence and was what made Natural Orders so powerful. As for Spiritual Qi, it was especially gentle in its natural form.
