Once you have the answer to your questions, there's truly only one option : drawing on the ample ambient energy so close to the Capital, and work on your cultivation.
But what should you focus on? Obviously, things requiring little-to-no movement. You're heavily tempted to work on your Poisonner Ultimate Selftrial, but any misstep of yours might have awfully bad repercussion, taken into account that all the medical-inclined cultivator of the group are busy with the wounded. Better avoid it for now.
You start sucking in ambient energy, thread it into <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">Qi and Blood</span></span> threads, refine it further by circling the threads through all your aperture, turning the string-like blood-laced Qi into their pure, liquid form of <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">True Qi</span></span>, trickling down in your dantian.
You feel you immediately ripped some benefices, as your amount of stockpiled energy doubled in only a couple days. According to Ryota, the secret of breaking through second dantian is splitting your Qi in four parts, each greater than the last one, and smash it against the dantian inner gates. However, he only brushed on the subject, and you feel there's much to ponder about that matter.
Despite your best efforts, Beast Shifting remained outside of your grasp for now. However, the sheer amount of Qi techniques displayed at their fullest around you during the tournament where troves of insight. Three days away from the capital city, and halfway home, your Astral Self stands once more in front of gates.
Looks like the precious <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">True Qi</span></span> empowered said astral self : most of the doors you're facing are new ones.
Acting fast to seize the moment, you push...
>The Golden door ornated with ingots, weapons and jewels goldsmithed bas-reliefs and engraving
>The familiar wooden door seemingly swarming from the engraved snakes
>A blackstone door sparckling with spare white incorporation, giving you a faint sense of vertigo
>A door which arch of rough and weathered sandstone is held by columns sculpted in the likeness of strongmen holding up the weight of this world.
>A door made of battleworn steel, framed by two fighters staring at each other, radiating an aura of barely contained power
>Another golden door, chiseled finely and including green Jade gemstones. You recognize the recurrent motive of the Qirin on it.
