As the days flowed past Daedalus could be seen sitting under a large ebony tree. This tree hadn't been here before of course, however due to Daedalus choosing to divert some of his mind to cultivating the energy around him had become quite dense.
Daedalus had stayed seated there for over a month now, his body refinement and soul strengthening had improved pretty quickly however his energy cultivation was left gathering energy. This wasn't because he didn't want to cultivate his energy but because he had a feeling in his gut telling him to consider more deeply what his uncle had said.
By this point Daedalus had become focused on the condensation of immortal energy. If what his uncle said was true as long as the body was strong enough it should be possible to obtain divine or higher energy at the very first stages. So of course that is what Daedalus was preparing for.

Over the past couple weeks Daedalus had used the soul connection between himself and Ultraun to ask him about the divine energy experiments. So Ultraun had been keeping him informed, including when about two weeks in Ultraun managed to condense a drop of liquid immortal energy.
The only problem with this is that the moment it touched Ultraun's hand it had first destroyed his palm before travelling through his body to his dantian like structure near his core. Then it blew up leaving Ultraun out of service just enough to halt progress for a day or two.
Luckily Ultraun had used his down time to come up with a measurement system for the energy, including how much of one energy it took to make another. This is where they used units of liquid mortal energy because as it turned out a normal persons dantian could hold only one drop of liquid mortal energy, an elves could hold two with a stronger bloodline and so on.
Finally the liquid mortal energy could be turned into immortal energy if you merged ten drops. More interesting however was that there was a leftover of sorts, simply put it was the impurity in the energy, however it also worked in the same way as pure energy.
This led Daedalus along a new line of thought, 'What if these two types where in fact Yin and Yang?' It didn't take long after that for Ultraun to tell him about the two types of energy. The pure energy was very active and gave off heat while the other was quite passive and gave off cold. This only proved to Daedalus about the two types of energy.
So he began to try something, as he was already capable of absorbing immortal energy Daedalus hadn't bothered with mortal energy for a while. So he gathered as much as his body could handle, which was an enormous amount. It finally reached his limit at about sixty drops worth of energy.
This was only possible as Daedalus' dantian was strengthened by the immortal energy. So he began the next experiment, rather than making a whirlpool Daedalus used his immortal energy to first separate the two types of energy as best he could, then he enveloped the two and used the immortal energy to build up pressure on the two.
