"I do have some issues with cultivation, I've been stuck at a realm for quite a while now, unable to break through."
The Seventh Elder nodded, "So you've hit a bottleneck period, quite common. I have elixirs that can help you break through the bottleneck."
"It's not a bottleneck, but someone has walked ahead of me, so I can't break through."
The Seventh Elder understood, it seemed the rookie had cultivated a special cultivation technique.
These special cultivation techniques were very common in the Great Qian and Great Yu eras, mainly characterized by the way that cultivators ahead in progress would absorb the cultivation efforts of those who follow, winner takes all. By the Great Xia period, since such techniques were too cruel and cultivators weren't lacking in methods of cultivation, these techniques fell out of favor.
"How about changing sects and starting over?"
"That probably won't work, there's no guarantee I can reach the current realm if I start over."
