After joining the game again, Allan didn't waste time and started cultivating again. He sat down and started running the cultivation method again and again until a notification popped.
[[You have reached the limit for breakthrough]]
[[Rank: (Fire : Mortal : 1000/1000)]]
Allan didn't immediately notice the notifications but after noticing that he couldn't advance further, he opened his eyes and checked the situation.
"I guess I'll have to read the manual again to understand how to breakthrough." Allan then took out the cultivation method from his spatial bracelet and started reading the manual completely. For some reason his mind was sharper and he could understand more of what he was reading and remember it completely.
"Time to level up." Allan said. He adjusted his mental condition to the peak using the [Mind Waterfall] meditation technique and began reciting the breakthrough incantation described in the cultivation method.
[[Congratulation! You achieved a breakthrough!]]

[[Soul Power: +0.5]]
"Nice, my stats more than doubled!" Allan thought. "Now let's check what we have in the spatial bracelet. I didn't have time to check before." He then sent his mind energy inside the bracelet and check the content inside.
"Let's see, we have some crystals, they are filled with spiritual energy, we have around a thousand of those. We have some monster cores that match the description in the book. Some herbs and some weapons. Oh there is also a cloak in here." Allan then started thinking about his future. "Let's refine the monster cores and increase my spiritual root."
The he began refining all monster cores he could find inside his bracelet. It took him a while but in the end he managed to increase all of his roots to a good degree. "Now that there is no more monster cores. Lets cultivate all elements and see how strong we can get." He thought.
He then began cultivating like crazy and began breaking through on all elements. After he finished, he willed to see his stats and they were shown to him.

Allan felt very satisfied with his progress. But soon the time was up and he had to come back to the real world once again. He tried to understand why he had 2.5 power in every element since he only gained 2 from each breakthrough. "It seems I also get a bit of power by simply cultivating. My body also feels very strong and my mind is even sharper, I guess cultivating more than one element is indeed the best choice since it gives the more stats."
After logging out and waking up. He and Tory went to take a morning shower.
"Did you manage to increase your soul power?" Allan asked her.
"Yeah, I got a meditation technique like you mentioned. Then I began practicing it for a whole day. It took my mental power all the way to 1.2 then I started hunting monsters. I felt my mind much clearer and I could fight much better. Now I only need to start refining the dead monsters. I took them to a cave and I'm waiting for you to pass me the methods." She told him.
"Good. I'll pass you the methods, but I'll do it with everyone, alright?"
"Sure. Let's get going then, we don't wanna be late."
They soon left for the cafe where some of their friends already got there.
"How was your experience today?" Allan asked.
"Very good, I managed to increase a bit my soul power. And I saved some monsters for my refining." Keith said.
"Me too." Sasha said.
Jasper and Sheila just nodded.
"Alright. I'll now teach you how to refine the monster flesh."
Then Allan began explaining the process. He had done it multiple times by now and he was very familiar with everything. Including cultivating the five elements. He had all the cultivation methods fresh inside of his head. He even felt that his mind was a bit sharper than usual.
"Also. Scratch what I said about only cultivating one element. I cultivated them all at least one rank. The next rank is called Qi gathering. You can have a different cultivation for each element. I got the equivalent of five ranks in breakthrough so I should be as strong as a normal rank 5 cultivator. At least in stats. So if you guys can, try cultivating more than one element even if it's boring. The stats rewards are worth it." Then he proceeded to teach them how to cultivate.
