Thirteen days later, a hint of awareness flashed through Lex, though his body was in such poor condition that he couldn't have even groaned if he wished. He didn't even feel pain - just lethargy.
It took an incredible amount of effort to simply think. A single thought was akin to the burden of moving a mountain, let alone actually moving his body.
The faint awareness lasted only long enough to realize he was severely screwed, before it once again disappeared as Lex fell asleep. A day later, he woke up again, this time, his mind in a much better state.
He realized he could not move his body at all, so he did the only thing he really could - he began trying to circulate his cultivation technique. While his cultivation would not progress any time soon, it would help him recover quicker.
