The weeks that followed were a whirlwind of intense study.
Ye Yang, fuelled by a newfound sense of purpose, delved deeper into the intricacies of water and yin.
He meticulously practiced his breathing exercises, refining his control over his internal energy.
The faint tingling sensation in his fingertips had intensified, now a steady hum that resonated through his entire body.
He could feel the subtle currents of water energy flowing beneath the surface of the world, a constant, unseen symphony.
Two weeks later, when he finally opened his eyes after a particularly deep meditation, the world appeared different. Sharper.
More alive. At first, he could only perceive Yang energy, the vibrant, life-giving force that coursed through every living being.
But now, a new layer of perception had been added. He could see the cool, flowing currents of water energy, weaving through the air and nourishing all life.
