The original opportunity to make a breakthrough was there, but now she has given up. First, she needs to cultivate her realm to Great Perfection or even halfway to the Heavenly Origin, then refine her cultivation before attempting a breakthrough. Without ten years of effort, it simply cannot be done.
And she has less than the time for reflection before she turns forty. Reaching halfway to the Heavenly Origin would be considered a blessing.
Moreover, once "Qingsi" is used, it takes a significant toll on her body. Even if most of the damage is remedied in a timely manner afterward, the harm done to her is still considerable.

Upon reaching the Meridian Passage Realm, the size of the Dantian indicates your future achievements. The larger the Dantian, the more internal energy it can hold, the stronger your power, and the greater momentum you have during a breakthrough.
