During the first cultivation attempt at Leila's gardens, we somehow managed to gather this invisible, unnoticeable energy, achieving the first stage of cultivation. Then we condensed it into a single point, breaking through to the second stage, only to then go halfway through the process of refining it.
And this was exactly where we picked up the pace as we sat down, reached out to hold each other's hands, and then closed our eyes, allowing this weird, soul-borne pressure of the garden's second floor.
The process itself wasn't all that unfamiliar to me, even though I never really got to go through the process of cultivating this stage in particular. In its essence… it was pretty much the same as what I did before.
