After Qingling left, Carson Flores didn't rush to cultivate those spells or the Sword Control Technique; instead, he started reading the Newcomer's Handbook.
Although Carson had already learned a lot from Elise Parry and Emilio Compton, every Heavenly Cave had different rules, and naturally, he needed a clear understanding.
After reading carefully, Carson gained quite an understanding of the lifestyle of the cultivators in the Nutwood Heavenly Cave.
The Nutwood Heavenly Cave had rich Spiritual Energy, suitable for cultivation. Cultivators usually focused on their practice in their own caves.
