It could take weeks, months or even years for some cultivators to learn and be able to use such fundamental techniques, but Adam didn't know that and thought that if it was fundamental, then it was simple and everybody knew how to use them.
Focusing hard on his body and its energies, he was trying as hard as he could to become more proficient in wielding it as he sat cross-legged for hours without moving, circulating his energy and attempting to control it.
It was just like his master had said, he had no fundamentals and he knew that he needed to grasp the fundamentals completely and lay down a strong foundation for his progress and strength.
Unlike others, Adam had no need to worry about needing to find energy and resources to absorb into his body as he could increase his strength and cultivation level through killing beasts without needing to worry about anything else.
