In the secret chamber of the small courtyard, Lin Tianming sat on the meditation cushion with his palms together, entering a state of deep and self-forgetting cultivation.
Over two months had passed by swiftly, and Lin Tianming's life had been remarkably fulfilling. He spent a few days each month on alchemy and devoted the remainder to arduous cultivation.
Having been in Luoyun Market for over half a year, his cultivation progress was exceedingly slow. Despite consuming many Lingshen Pills, he had barely reached the middle stage of the Qi Cultivation Eighth Level, still some distance from the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.
Seeing that intensive cultivation was not very effective, Lin Tianming decided to emerge from seclusion, as the market assembly was just a few days away and it would be a good opportunity to take a look around.
Exhaling a turbid breath, Lin Tianming stood up and left the secret chamber.
