Ning sat in the Aether forest, with rain pelting him all over. His body was fully soaked from the rain, but his focus was on something else entirely.
He took out a bottle from his storage and looked at the dark purple liquid inside of it. This one was particularly concentrated and thus held a lot of Aether over the course of the last 3 years.
This one bottle alone was enough to send an Aether Saint all the way to the Aether Supreme rank. However, for an Aether supreme, they needed at the very least 5 such bottles.
Ning opened the cap on the bottle and started drinking it. The Concentrated aether had a slightly salty and metallic taste to it. It wasn't something he could exactly explain. But, it was good enough that he drank it without waiting for a single moment.
Immediately, he started using both his manual and automatic absorption skills to take in the aether he had just downed.
'Dammit, I'm losing Aether,' he thought and used Telekinesis to gather the Aether he did not absorb back to his stomach.
That helped with his burden a bit as he continued collecting and absorbing the bottle.
An hour later, he was finally able to absorb all of it, and advance quite far ahead as an Aether Supreme. But he couldn't stop here.
He needed to add more Aether to his reserves and thus make his skills that much stronger.
Ning took out another bottle, but he didn't drink it all at the same time. He took a mouthful of Aether, drank it, and started absorbing,
About 5 minutes later when he was done absorbing it, he took another mouthful of it and drank it.
As he continued doing that, time quickly passed by. He thought he would only need 5, but even as he drank the 6th bottle, he never felt a bottleneck arrive at all.
'Just how much do I need to drink?' he frowned. 6 hours had passed, and he was starting to worry about the state of the situation.
Just how far did the world go in the 6 hours he had gone missing? He shook off his worries and took out the 7th bottle to drink.
Halfway through drinking the 7th bottle, Ning stopped. He was still not feeling anything in his body, but that was the reason why he had stopped.
It had been 3 years since he used his old body and rank up in Aether, and in that time, he had forgotten something.
His main body never faced any bottlenecks at all. That was one of the reasons why it cost him so much energy to make it in the first place.
He also remembered the fact that he could never really tell what rank his own Aether was in his main body at all. So, he asked, "System, what rank of Aether rank am I at currently?"
