I was disappointed. I realized how well master had treated me now. The room that they gave me was plain, with an array at the center. The Low grade spirit stone was used to power up the whole array, and this created a dense Qi all around me.
But the Qi was nowhere near the amount of Qi that was in the room which I used for my closed cultivation for nearly a month. It was paltry in comparison.
However, it was still miles better than cultivating without, so I headed into the room. I closed the door behind me and stood in the center.
There was a mat there, presumably for every one who sat down and started meditating. But my way of cultivation was different. I started performing the Heaven Devouring Art.
Qi started accumulating in my core, and the core started spinning. It started increasing slightly, but not at a visible rate.
"Not everything happens so fast, I guess?" I sighed.
Ping!
[Profiency of Heaven Devouring art has increased. You have achieved expert proficiency.] the system said at this moment.
"About goddamn time. I was thinking about this. This is the skill that I use the most, and yet this is still not at the next level." I grinned.
"System homepage."

"I seem to have gotten 5 skill points. Is this from the upgrade?" I asked.
[Host gets five skill points for every skill that enters the expert proficient level.]
"I see. Interesting. I get five skill points every time now? That is good to know. That is good to know. Then I think that with this increase in proficiency, I should be able to comlpete each cycle faster, and get more and more Qi with each cycle." I thought about the possibility and chuckled.
I continued performing the Heaven Devouring Art. As I had predicted, with each cycle, I was getting more and more Qi added to my core, and I was also able to complete each cycle much faster. This was an upgrade that I desperately needed.
"If only this happened a month ago. I would probably be at the second or even third layer of the Core formation stage." I sighed.
Unlike the foundation establishment stage and the Qi condensation stages, where every layer was just a minor bottleneck that I could just break through with ease, I just had this feeling that the Core formation stage was harder to progress in.
"You are an idiot. You should use the other title that you have. The child of dao title. You are cultivating. You will not encounter any bottleneck at all." Liu Man said.
"That's right! I have to use the child of dao title. System. Use title, Child Of Dao." I said.
[Changing Title. Title, 'Child of Dao' equipped.]
I could feel the Qi within the room suddenly change direction. All of that Qi just rushed towards me.
The Qi acted like I was their favorite son. Quite literally. I could feel this warm blanket hugging me, and filling my body with the same warmth. It felt comfortable. And the anomaly was, I was not even performing the Heaven Devouring art!
I was not cultivating, and the Qi already started rushing towards me. This was too big a cheat!
"How lucky am I? To think that I got such a fruitous encounter. With this, surely, I should be able to get to the Xiantian realm." I told myself.
I started performing the Heaven Devouring art. The Qi rushed into my body, but it felt natural to me. Unlike when I was first coughing because of the sudden bombardment, this was normal to men now.
This was still not the same as when I was in the room in that freezing place, but it was comparable now. It actually held its ground. If I entered that room again, I was absolutely positive that I could break through to the next layer in just a day.
"That is a bad idea. You should consolidate your realm. Look at all the alchemists around you. Every single one is at a high level. They did not cultivate to get there. They just gobbled pills and became stronger. But it comes at a cost. You will not be able to combat as effectively." Liu Man said.
"How do you know this even? I appreciate the advice, I really do. But how do you know all of this? These are all things that old and experienced masters tell their disciples!" I was just confused now.
"I said this before. My memories work differently from yours. I just know things. But the only thing that I can't seem to figure out is what the hell I am. It is just ironic at this point." Liu Man sighed.
"Just wait. I am in the Core Formation Stage already. It is just a matter of time before I can get to the Nascent Soul realm. I will be able to go through the gate." I said.
"I am waiting. But I think that you forgot another condition to enter the dragon gate? You need to be in the Inner sect. I don't think that you are in the Inner sect right now."
"Stop rubbing it in. I will get there eventually. But I think that I should focus on cultivating for now. Better get stronger now. I just want to get out of this pill tower as fast as possible and get strong enough to deal with You Feng." I said.
