The night was ink-black.
Fang Han sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion in his Quiet Chamber. Dark green Inner Qi circulated slowly through his meridians, refining and absorbing the last wisp of the elixir's Medicinal Power before settling into his Dantian.
He opened his eyes. A sharp glint flashed within them for an instant before they returned to their usual calm.
With the threat of the Dark Abyss looming, he had spent the past few days secluded in his residence, dedicating all his time to Cultivation.
He had stabilized his Cultivation at the Early First Grade, and his Inner Qi had grown more refined than when he had first broken through.
However, breaking through to the next Realm would still require at least two more months.
For most Martial Artists at the First Grade level, advancing through each Minor Realm was measured in years. It was common to struggle for several years without a breakthrough.
