Preparations

After finishing everything, Krune quickly stored the Shields and left the workshop. He went straight to the Formations Guild in the city where Iem had been practicing so far. However, he was surprised when he saw Iem again.

"You broke through in the 9th Stage!"

Iem couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha! I, your grandfather, am obviously amazing. Yes, I broke through two days ago. I used the merit points I got after we joined the Sect to buy a few cultivation resources. With them, I was successful in my breakthrough."

They had entered the Sky Shifting Sect so that they could have access to those resources exactly. Iem didn't waste such a chance and bought them as soon as he could. 

Krune was happy for him too. So far, only Iem had been able to keep up with his cultivation speed. 

"Congratulations. It will make the exploration in the Godly Vein much safer. By the way, I brought my shields."
