"I really succeeded in breaking through… Maybe because the previous owner had already shattered the bottleneck but failed to advance."
He clenched his fists, feeling the surge of spirit energy within his dantian.
"I just needed to expand my dantian, and my Five Elements Cultivation increased by 11 points. Could it be because I completed a full circulation when I advanced?"
A thought struck him.
"I need to test this theory."

"Wow, I was right! The additional 10 points must have come from the breakthrough itself."
But his excitement faded as he considered the limits of his body.
"I can't cultivate 24/7… My meridians can only withstand two sessions a day before the burden becomes too much."
Of course, taking pills would increase his limit, but...
"Pill consumption carries risks. Too much pill residue will poison my body, making future breakthroughs harder."
That was precisely why many Loose Cultivators remained stuck at the Qi Refining Realm,they relied too heavily on pills.
Cultivation pills in the market were mostly low quality, filled with impurities and residual pill toxins.
The high-quality ones? Monopolized by major sects and powerful organizations.
Some sects outright forbade their true disciples and core disciples from using pills to advance. They emphasized a solid foundation over rapid progress.
But for Loose Cultivators, that luxury didn't exist.
"Even with a strong foundation, what's the point? A rogue cultivator or thief with higher cultivation can still cut you down like a dog."
He exhaled, shaking his head.
"No point overthinking this. Let's get to work on some talismans."
He took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, sorting through the memories inherited from this body.
"I need to recall everything… and try to replicate it perfectly."
