Curious, you try to gaze in the blood stream of the Ascendant Golden Flame Hawk - it's easy to peek, after all he is part of you.
Your gaze confirms your hypothesis, noting the similarities of Qi flow and differences - some due to the avian nature instead of mammal, like you expected; some due to the Golden component, and some to the Fire elements. Instructive study.
Wait. He IS part of you - proven by your gaze in its structure. What happens if you just supply Qi to him?
Like for yourself : the Qi and Blood thread supplied to the Spiritual Beast empower it, demultiplicating its muscular output, resulting in a burst of speed.
Does it work with other spirits? You summon the Horse, and indeed.
This turn your mount fast - less than yourself under the influence of your Unlimited Rising Star Kick, of course, but more economical in the long run.
<span class="mu-s">Assuming you have Qi and Blood pills to supply your energy back</span> - and generic ones, it would be a waste to use the specifically tuned ones - <span class="mu-s">you now have a speedy long-range movement option</span>.
Speaking of, you still need to improve your short range movement option. More effort is devoted to the Unlimited Rising Star Kick, leaving your foundation aside for the time being.
Of course, said foundation is once again reduced to a crawl - an occasion for Ai and Dhundan to catch up to your current cultivation.
>FailureThe technique is hard - too hard for you to make progress, despite being the creator of it. Maybe pills fine-tuned to the technique could help you?
Speaking of pills, halve of the Hawk/Dance and the Astral Self have been consumed so far; 4 of the Spear/Wolf/Blood/Shadow remains and all the Wind/Horse aligned ones.
Your consommation of pills is impressively low. By supplying exactly what you need, at concentration adequate for your level, they are a tremendous help for your practice, and most certainly the reason why you had so many breakthrough recently - be it Technical Breakthrough or Realm Breakthrough.
However, your failure send the wheel of insecurity back spinning : are your recent "success" only due to the pills?
After all, you couldn't win the Tamers of Thousand Beasts gathering squad nor army mock-battle. You completely fail the excursion in the Stable Lotus secret realm.
Both of those were pill-less trials and tribulations; or maybe the factor is other people? After all, your various fortuitous enconter went quite well when you were on your own - is your cause of failure spectators?
Maybe, all this time, you were misguided and made a dire mistake when relying on other?
No. That can't be it. After all, friendship is one of your <span class="mu-s">Big Rocks</span>.
Still, that failure shatter the confidence that have been arrogantly growing back after the Stable Lotus Realm fiasco.
