Who would have thought that this secluded cultivation would last a full four months?
Though Xue Mingzhi had decent talent, there was still a certain gap from being considered a true prodigy. If it hadn't been for Shen Yuan repeatedly bestowing opportunities, such rapid progress would have been impossible.
In the Essence Refining to Qi Transformation Stage, cultivators can break through quickly as long as there is sufficient Spirit Energy. It was precisely because Xue Mingzhi possessed Spirit Energy resources beyond the reach of others that he was known as a prodigy.
However, once reaching the Qi Training Stage, it's no longer a matter that can be resolved with resources alone—the difficulty of Elemental Qi Absorption far exceeded Xue Mingzhi's expectations.
Elemental Qi Absorption requires not only resources but also knowledge of the breakthrough points, a solid foundation, and an understanding and application of skills.
