The cauldron never cooled for long. The gray flame burned day and night, controlled with surgical precision. Now, the manuals open before him were different.
Rank 4 manuals. Formulas intended for cultivators in the Core Formation Realm, pills that strengthened the spiritual core, stabilized overloaded meridians, and accelerated the condensation of Qi into liquid form.
Kyrian was not yet in that realm. But his two internal dantians, located within his eyes, stored an amount of Qi far greater than normal for someone in the Qi Liberation Realm.
His reservoir was vast. His control is almost perfect. Refining several rank 4 pills per day did not exhaust him. It was simply… work.
The first attempts with rank 4 were harsh.
