Lind took a considerable time to recover. Despite the regenerative abilities of his body, foreign energy was riddled inside him! He had to work very hard to move it but he found an unexpected source of aid.
His elemental Nodes seemed to naturally push the foreign energy out by simply cycling it through his meridians and body.
It seemed the combined might of the 3 elemental sets was not to be trifled with. His creation exceeded the power of even the Journeyman Tier power traces. Still, it was not quick.
He spent the next few centuries on that beach as he could not even move from it! Eventually, he opened his eyes to find he could barely move. The soreness in his body would linger still but he could check on the red stone.
He had to climb the mountain and it actually took him 4 days to reach the cavern. The stone was safe and he actually felt some power flow into him that made him feel much better.
