Bab 43: Birds of a Feather Flock Together

For the rest of the day, Feng Fan focused on his cultivation. This time, he decided to experiment with the middle-grade qi stone instead of relying on the heavenly lightning. 

The energy from the qi stone was much gentler, making it easier and faster to absorb during cultivation.

Although he didn't manage to break through to the 2nd stage by the end of the day, he could feel that he was just one step away from achieving it.

"Alright, time to rest. I should follow Elder Jiang's instructions tomorrow," Feng Fan muttered to himself before heading to bed.

The next morning, he woke up feeling refreshed and made his way to the east gate, as instructed by Elder Jiang.

Before leaving the main peak, he noticed Huang Xue running in the same direction.

"Good morning, Feng Fan," she greeted with a warm smile.

Ever since the events that led to Zhang Qi's death, Huang Xue felt much closer to Feng Fan. She saw him as someone she could trust completely.
