His current cultivation was not very balanced. He spent most of his time using the cultivation chant.
The [Soul-Refining Art] and the [Vajra Seal] were both cultivation techniques that would cost him a lot of time.
Because of that, the time that he had for cultivating magical arts. While he had cultivated the spiritual plant aspect of the five-seeds cultivation technique, as he did not have the subsequent parts of it, he could not make any more progress in it. However, he would still spend some time every day to cultivate his finger techniques to prevent them from deteriorating.

The things in this book were no longer suitable for his new sword intent. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to fuse sword intents together, let alone separate them.
