In the instant Guo Feilong grasped the earth attribute jewel, the Elemental Infant within him suddenly opened its eyes. Its tiny hands formed a Daoist art, beginning to absorb the earth attribute energy from the jewel.
Much like absorbing the spiritual energy from a spirit stone, streams of earthy yellow light rose from the earth attribute jewel, then were inhaled into Guo Feilong's body like mist.
Although absorbing this earth attribute jewel could save a thousand years of cultivation time, it still required a significant amount of time to absorb it fully—not something that could be accomplished in a day or two, or even a month or two.
Under normal circumstances, an initial Elemental Infant stage cultivator would need at least a decade to absorb all the earth attribute energy from this jewel and convert it into the earth attribute energy within their Elemental Infant.
