Cultivation is not as simple and uniform as I lowkey believed it to be

"Let me indulge you a bit."

Just six words. 

Three words if one were to ignore articles and pronouns. A single word if one were to remove the useless descriptor and the basic verb. 

To indulge. 

'A fitting word for ninth stage cultivator teaching basics to those four whole ranks below him.'

In theory, Claire already gave me the run-down through the cultivation ranks… But what could she, formerly a fifth-stage aspirant and now a fifth-stage practicioner know about the sixth stage?

And while sure, as someone who lived in this community and culture for her entire life, she surely knew more than me… But it was all still but theoretical knowledge, unsupported by hands-on experience. 

Chihiro, on the other hand, had not only gone through the whole of the sixth stage already, but he could now look back on it from a much better, much wider perspective of his ninth rank!
