Sam returned to the city.
He was in an obvious hurry, there are two many things to do and the one week's time limit is also ending tomorrow. It is going to get busy. But his brain didn't feel as much pressure as before.
The only pressure came from the thinking he has to do for finishing the tasks, not for extra thoughts like consequences and actions.
Sam didn't mess with the stones yet. The first thing he has to do is a breakthrough to the Nascent stage.
But before that, it is time for Arman's daily dose.
After that, he came back and broke through to the Nascent stage.
Nascent stage is a very special stage of cultivation.
It decides many things for a cultivator and decides the strength of his foundation.
Spell time for mages and physical features for warriors, both of them for a Warrior-mage.
This stage will decide most of them.
