Volume 3 - Sect War
-----------
'All right, it's time to break through to the next stage.'
Despite using pills and formations to improve his speed of training, he couldn't afford more than 4-5 hours of cultivation every day. Having a deep foundation also meant his core needed more Qi to break through.
He was also using his own original cultivation manual as always, perfecting the process to the minute detail; the manuals he read before advancing to the fourth stage already included the method to get to the peak of the fourth stage, so he didn't need to visit the treasury again yet.
Unfortunately, he wasn't part of the Formations Division, so his knowledge of creating formations advanced much slower than his knowledge of Alchemy. However, he didn't give up on the subject and self-taught himself by experimenting in his study room.
Volume 3 - off we go!
I try not to answer some readers' questions, so if you see someone asking something, try to hypothesize the answer!
I'm all for fans' discussions, I believe it brings the most out of the novel.
P.S. - We crossed 100,000 words. That was fast!
