might be a way to say that it's peak mastery and can only be improved by reaching perfection. he's missing the special sand to get to perfect so maybe he tried practicing it hoping to power through somehow and got stuck at like 99.99% of proficiency at mastery level

but it says aside from the gold and jewelry he had around 800. more than likely it's just a translation/editing error or an example of bad writing and editing before translation and is supposed to be including the gold and jewelry he had around 800

I believe there is a whole bunch of daoists that would disagree after having seen the hand guided tractor race that was held by venerables white and butterfly

How do they make the wrong step or even the right one when its probably random?

Okay let me get this straight. He took a potion in the simulation that would give him access to a bloodline but it caused him to die. After the simulation he gets a constitution upgrade but still hasn't taken the potion in real life but already has the same benefits as taking the potion. Instead of calling it constitution wouldn't it have been better for the option to be called bloodline enhancement?

it's different. He can already use an earth spike which utilizes the ground around the targeted casting point as material to shape the spike an operate the spell further which he used on the wolf. Going by the description of the earth cone spell it is converting neutral elements in the atmosphere into earth elements to create a projectile. Looking at it that way you can draw the conclusion that lower level mages can manipulate existing elements and possibly convert small amounts of neutral elements to the one of their choice through casting and as their rank as a mage increases it manifests in more control over existing elements and a greater ability to convert neutral elements.

Nah he just hasn't been indoctrinated by Lan Feng about the wonders of snake babies yet

What?? She's literally the goddess of the hunt and her stats say [Talent: Hunting] so when you have a target that needs to be hunted down and killed you decide she's not suited for it?

well ya know reasons and stuff. This might also be a ghostwriter conglomeration novel so it could be a different writer for that chapter

weird wording on the previous sentence but the thought they are trying to convey is regardless of what thing a person specializes in they would feel disdain for a perceived lower skill threshold and receive disdain from someone with skills that have a higher threshold and at the top of all that looking down on all with nobody to look down on them are the sword cultivators
