Sure enough, I got lucky enough with cores that I reached not only the Fourth Realm, but the 5th stage over three days of hunting. After that, I held another training session for Gao Rong, and we started talking about getting him a movement technique. I "assigned" him by next month to look at the ones the Palace had to offer and to let me know which one he believed suited him best.
"My Divine Rank movement technique, Sky Serpent Eluding Heaven's Wrath, has won me more battles than any treasure I've ever owned," I'd told him, "there's a world of difference between a cultivator with a good movement technique and one with none, or a basic one. A new one will take time to learn, but you're no slouch in Comprehension even compared to me—remember, you got the Jade Token for the Tower of Riddles in the tryouts. This next goal plays to your strength."
