Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2815

Andrew chose to stay. As long as there was any chance left, he would try it. And if he truly found the slightest path forward, then he would not hesitate. Roman would lose his head on the spot. He could not care less that Roman was a respectable elder from Mount Lourneau.

After surviving such a brutal battle, Andrew's mindset had undergone a complete transformation. With the situation in Holtrien so chaotic, the only way to clear obstacles was through force. He still had no idea what was happening with Reginald, but none of that mattered, because as long as he restored his energy core, he wouldn't have to care about the feelings of those against him.

Ruthless action was the fastest and safest way to regain control.

Under Roman's arrangement, three Mount Lourneau elders and seven apprentices came forward.

First, they gave Andrew a complete energy transfer. In other words, they channeled their internal energy into Andrew's body.

After all that effort, it had absolutely no effect.

One elder stepped back, exhausted, and shook his head. "Roman, it's useless. His energy core seems completely cut off from the outside world, and everything we infused disappeared without leaving even a trace."

Roman nodded. "You've worked hard. Go rest first."

The elders and apprentices immediately withdrew.

Before Roman could explain the third method, Andrew raised his hand and interrupted. "Harmony Cavern? What kind of place is that?"

Roman spoke with pride. "That's where Mount Lourneau's founding master, Mr. Weston Gallagher, achieved mastery. Mr. Gallagher, in his wisdom, achieved divine mastery in Harmony Cavern and comprehended Mount Lourneau's supreme techniques.

"It was also in Harmony Cavern where he passed away peacefully. Harmony Cavern is Mount Lourneau's forbidden martial ground! Only elder-level figures are allowed to enter and undergo secluded meditation to comprehend martial secrets. It's incredibly dangerous, but also incredibly blessed."

Andrew nodded and continued asking, "What about the second method you mentioned, reconnecting the major meridians? From what I know, medical skills alone can't do that, and it's not the same as an athlete's Achilles injury. An athlete can recover and still compete, but a martial artist's main meridians can't be reattached."
