After farting, the excruciating pain that Alex felt subsided slowly until it disappeared completely. He started to feel the QI in his core circulate on its own.
-Crack!!
A cracking sound filled his ears from his core, it didn't happen once, it happened 8 times. When the QI in his core stopped circulating it dispersed to different places in his body. Alex could feel the difference in his strength now, he was much stronger than he was before.
He looked into his core. "Wow! I broke through 8 ranks, now I'm a rank-5 nascent realm cultivator. Hahaha!!" Alex laughed joyously.
"Rank-5 nascent realm? That's sufficient I guess. If the petal had matured, you might have made it to the disaster realm." Mr. Guardian pointed out.
"What, it hasn't matured yet? Why didn't you tell me? I would have gladly waited till it matured." Alex blurted out.
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
