The sect physician's verdict was grim.
"Your cultivation foundation is severely damaged," Medical Disciple Wen said after three hours of examination. "Normally, I'd recommend complete rest for six months. No cultivation. No techniques. Just healing."
"But?" I could hear the qualifier coming.
"But your physiology is... abnormal. Your Qi regenerates at rates I've never seen. The damage is already beginning to repair itself." She shook her head in disbelief. "At this pace, you'll be functional in two weeks instead of six months. Fully recovered in a month."
[AUTO-REPAIR: ACTIVE]
[FOUNDATION DAMAGE: 67% → 64%]
[HEALING FASTER THAN NORMAL]
[INFINITE QI CONSTITUTION: BROKEN AS ALWAYS]
"Can I still cultivate?"
"Absolutely not. Any cultivation stress will worsen the damage, possibly permanently cripple your advancement." Her expression was stern. "I know you're ambitious, Lin Tian, but this isn't negotiable. Push yourself now, and you'll never reach Stage 9."
