Chapter 183: Harmonisation
After a week of living at the Mystical Qilin Sect, most guests have gotten used to the way of life here. While there were plenty of luxuries, they also had to work hard. Yan Ping was a strict leader and tolerated no nonsense. However, they started to see Anji less, much to the Zhao family’s concern.
Zhao Wanting remained behind after the spell-casting lesson to inquire about her daughter’s whereabouts.
"Ah, don’t worry. She’s currently undergoing accelerated cultivation training. It would take her about two weeks to break through to the next stage of the Strengthened Core. She was at the foundation stage for a while. We had to work on strengthening her physical body before she could progress to the next stage, or her sealed core would cause energy disarray."
It was true. The fact that all of Anji’s food had been specially made with tonics and spiritual pills for the past month was the reason why she was finally allowed to use the accelerated cultivation chamber. Although there was still a strict time limit for using it, Doctor Yun assured Yan Ping that the growing child would face no consequences for fasting sixteen hours a day while in the accelerated chamber for two weeks.
Apart from waking up for a meal at lunch and napping until dinner, Anji spent the rest of the time in the accelerated cultivation chamber in isolation. Doctor Yun monitored her health daily, and Yan Ping checked on her qi regulation.
Zhao Wanting bit her bottom lip when hearing how gruelling Anji’s special training was. She knew that the Mystical Qilin Sect would never endanger her daughter. However, as a mother, her heart ached when she thought about all the hardships her youngest daughter had to endure.
While the unofficial parent-teacher meeting occurred, Anji remained blissfully unaware of their conflicted thoughts. Instead, she focused on removing the shackles in her body.
According to Grandpa Jin, Anji’s soul cultivation far surpassed her spiritual core. While the soul had no limit, the body had a physical limit. Yan Ping’s artificial cores and seals kept the container from exploding. However, moving up a cultivation base meant Anji had to loosen the seals more. The only problem was how painful it became when her meridians constantly flooded with qi without enough outlets.
"Agh!!" Anji screamed in pain as a new wave of energy pulse shook the accelerated cultivation chamber. The pressure was too great for her to control the qi flow. However, this was the best method that existed for tampering with the core. She had to make her meridian network more resilient to overwhelming pressure from within.
