'Finally, I'm ready to break through to the next substage.'
Ken constantly used the Core Expanding Hastening Pill throughout his cultivation, hastening his core's growth speed by a few times. He also set up a triple Concealing Formation in the house to hide the triple Qi Gathering Formation, which he fed only with higher Qi Stones to enjoy purer Qi.
Since he already used the original Core Expanding Inducer Pill when he broke through to the intermediate phase and developed tolerance, he had to concoct a variation of the pill once he reached the maximum size, four times the original.
He created a variation of the pill by replacing some of the original ingredients with materials of the fifth grade, granting his pills stronger effects while wasting much of those materials' essence when combining them with the rest of the ingredients to prevent the mixture from being imbalanced.
