The second step was a clear mind without any irrelevant thoughts.
Zhao Kuo, the cultivation maniac, had told Zhao Yanzi all the key points in a breakthrough.
That was why Zhao Yanzi had asked Hao Ren, the person she trusted most, to guard her during the breakthrough.
Silently, Hao Ren moved a stone chair to the side of Zhao Yanzi's bed, blocking the entrance of the cave.
No mistakes were allowed in cultivation, which was why the cultivators would lock themselves in secret chambers to cultivate in seclusion.
Since most cultivators had enemies, it was tradition to find trusted cultivators who were on higher realms to guard them during the breakthroughs.
Sitting on the stone chair cross-legged, Hao Ren watched Zhao Yanzi who was concentrating and tried to calm himself.
With the quilt around her, traces of white vapor rose from Zhao Yanzi's forehead.
This was the sign that the nature essence was gathering in the meridians.
