"He has reached the Qi Cultivation Realm," Ouyang Tiezhu said with a touch of longing.
"What about you, senior brother?"
"I..." Ouyang Tiezhu replied, "I just finished bone forging and am now rushing towards the realm of Skin Forging. Master said if I cannot complete Skin Forging before the age of thirty-five, it is highly unlikely that I would develop Qi after that."
"Why?"
"Master said that once a person turns thirty, their Qi-Blood begins to decline, and there's at most a five-year window. Once this window has passed, it's too late to turn back. If you cannot muster strength while the blood is vigorous, you certainly cannot do it when Qi-Blood is in decline." Ouyang Tiezhu sighed, "I am already twenty-five this year."
Shen Qing inwardly agreed.
In his previous life, he was aware of the saying "thirty is the age for establishing oneself," and the workplace even had the notion of a "35-year-old threshold," which was not without reason.
