The days after returning to the Wuji Holy Sect felt like sailing from a storm-tossed ocean into a tranquil harbor.
The brutal slaughter in the Attacking and Killing Marketplace, the life-and-death struggles within the Pot Valley Yin Ruins, the Buddha-Demon conflict deep within the Earth Temple, and the various troubles on the journey back all felt like distant phantoms, replaced by the orderly atmosphere within the Sect.
Qi Yun's pace of life slowed down abruptly.
He secluded himself deep within his cavern estate, declining most unnecessary social interactions.
His daily life became structured and simple.
In the early morning, he would greet the first wisp of purple energy from the east, breathing in and out to refine his Qi. He focused on stabilizing his Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivation and familiarizing himself with the various wonders of True Essence circulation after achieving Hundred Acupoints Spirit Communication.
