Quoted By:
You try to address several thing over the last couple weeks.
First, helping Man Din break through. You notice she doesn't seems to go pester the Branch Masters at all - where you were on their back at every waking moment when trying your own breakthrough.
"Why aren't you trying harder?
- <span class="mu-b">Well, other might need more...</span>
- Nonsense. You have a treasure-grade bounded spirit. You are the remaining one of the more advanced group. You realize you're asking for less than other kids less gifted, that doesn't even have their own spirit?
- <span class="mu-b">Still, it makes me feel queasy, having to ask...</span>"
No point beating around the bush. You proceed on dragging her to the Boar (and Branch) Master and requesting <span class="mu-s">Body Tempering Liquid</span> on her behalf to Ryota.
"<span class="mu-s">Well we have still quite a few of Body Tempering Liquid in the sect's treasury. Between the fast breakthrough of 4 out of 5 of your group, and the benefits we reaped from Transplanhumance, and the next crop of disciple not there yet, of course Man Din can get as much as she wants!</span>"
With that settled, you still take quite a bit of time to stay with her - she's worried about "things somehow going wrong" when cultivating by herself.
Yi also stepped onward to watch her. You spend long, boring hours watching her cultivate - You cultivating at her side somehow makes her stop and feel unsafe and wasting your time.
In the end, this push was enough to let her break through and becoming a true cultivator.
>Working on your Foundation
You are still working yourself on opening your Eye Aperture on the spare time, and strengthening your body. Your progress is slow.
It feels like your body generate half as much <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">Qi and Blood</span></span> threads for twice the effort - maybe you're suffering from the lower density of spiritual energy available?
>No one write-in to consume pills
Maybe it's also because you're wary of medicine effect, thus you haven't used your pills this two weeks. You don't know if this was paranoïa or a good call. Anyway, it might be alright to start popping pills again - and they haven't been made by the same person so it should be ok, right?
Still, you're successful pulling all you generated into your eye aperture, with the help of your spiritual beasts. This might have been helped by the lack of draw on your Qi and Blood threads by not working on your Techniques.
There's no denying the steady work on your foundation is paying dividends : you feel <span class="mu-s">the Eye aperture is half-full</span>.
