Thale decides to dedicate most of his time to cultivating. His first goal is to consolidate his Qi, which seems to have had a breakthrough when he massacres the pirates.
Thale spends the next few days in the cave, focusing on his cultivation and trying to fully understand the changes in his Qi. He spends long hours meditating, sensing the flow of Qi within his body and trying to control it more precisely. He also practices his movement techniques and swordplay, trying to incorporate the increased speed and strength he now has access to.
As he practices and cultivates, Thale becomes more and more attuned to the Qi around him. He can sense the movements of animals and the flow of energy within plants. He feels a deep connection to the natural world and a sense of peace and clarity that he has never experienced before.
