It is been a fortnight since the day of his breaking thought and a month since the day of disturbing the tasks Mo Ling does not seem to make any progress in his cultivation it was stagnant for some reason, whenever he tried reciting the second level QI condensation manual he feels restless and his mind can't seem to calm down moreover his body somehow seems to be unwilling to aligned itself with the instruction of the manual. He didn't want to push his breakthrough forcibly especially after the incident two days ago when he was cultivating per usual but suddenly he remembered the QI condensation pills he was given in the disturbing day, he asked around and knew that it helps if one faces a bottleneck or lack spiritual energy to make a breakthrough so opened the bottle swallowed a pill then resumed his cultivating as soon as the pill entered his mouth it starts dissolving into a warm flow that instead of following the second QI condensation he was reciting it followed the first level thus dissolving just like that, so he took a stupid decision since one was ineffective, five should be. the result was that the five pills did dissolve into spiritual energy but this time it did not follow any level from the manual instead it drove inside his whole body from head to toe, in the end, he lost six pills without advancing the slightest to the next level the only noteworthy thing is that he felt like when the flow of spiritual energy circulate his body it nourished him and healed some internal injuries he was not aware of probably it was serious since he was not aware of it which means it never pained him.
In short, he did not make any progress.
Mo Ling stood by the window of his room as he watched the moon hanging high in the sky illuminating the dark gloomy night he is been pondering that if he did not enter the desolate forest soon he will face the problem of not finishing his task
" knock "
Mo Ling headed toward the door wondering who came at this hour when he opened the door he found it was one of his neighbors, his room was opposite Mo Ling's the kid name was Mo yin he was Mo ling age but contrary to him he seems older which was attributed to his sturdy frame and serious frown face but in truth, he was a kind person.
"Sorry, I did not wake you up did i "
" Nah you did not but did something happen?"
" No, we decide to head to the desolate mountain tomorrow, and we are in short of people, so I was wondering if you want to come with us."
Mo Ling was not indecisive person since he can't make progress in bis cultivation the time keeps running plus the opportunity came knocking on his door on its own will he not be out of his mind if turn off the offer.
" Sure I will be there ".
