>Foundation
It's good to resume working on your raw foundation in the comforting daily life made of beast taming instead of the madness going on at the Sun's Adorator temple. You're also delighted seeing rain and clouds again. Those guys are seriously lunatics.
While practicing the Hawk's Wide Ballet, the tournament comes back to your mind, delving on the "fight" with LienWen YanEr.
You're pretty sure the mix of you being trained in both fight and dance allowed you to pulled of better the choreographed fight in the tournament.
Progress are painfully slow, but this is expected after a Minor Realm Breakthrough.
>Immortal Cave Expansion
You spend a good part of the week working on your so-called "Immortal Cave"
From a small space just big enough for you and your four beast, you keep digging the hill in several rooms, the biggest letting you practice your Body Tempering dance Technique and your spear style - but unfit for Archery or Mounted fighting practice, of course.
You have ample private space, to retract when you need time for yourself.
All in all, despite the desastrous luck at the Stable Lotus secret realm, you multiplied favorable encounters.
You have an ample collection of skill highly suited to you. You have deep and meaningful connections with friends, from in and out the sect.
You feel life is lived on your own terms, and manage to hold up with the two genius that are Ai and Dhundan.
You feel your mental health significantly got better. The specter of collapsing due to pressure have receded. Not disappeared, but still far away.
Your <span class="mu-s">tolerance for failure</span> increased. But so did your taste for risk and wants for greatness.
First, you feel your Body Tempering technique is too limited. Too weak. With what you're pulling of, you need something giving you more with each practice.
Second, you reassess priorities. Making the right choices, you should break through second realm before your 8th Birthday.
This matters as this is a prerequisite shared by genius, capitalizing on the True Qi granted at birth, preventing all cultivation practice bottlenecks - already more than half depleted. You will also need to fuse your beasts before breaking through.
You have Hawk and Gold related materials for your Hawk Spirit Fusion. Growth could be easily provided - any cup of tea brewed from your Treasured Teapot will do. Remains finding a suitable spirit for fusion, as well as at least fire-aligned material. A Gold Fire Hawk spirit? Intuitively, you think this would work but would be an opportunity loss.
The spirit have to share properties with your current spirit, but having an exact subset is not it.
