The Elder’s Advice and New Resolve

The elder nodded. "Next time, don't come back. The Spiritual Cave is only useful the first time. After that, it's hard to improve further. Staying in there just wastes the spiritual liquid."

This was indeed Amalia's first time cultivating in a Spiritual Cave, which was why her cultivation had advanced so quickly, from the early to the mid-stage in just a month—faster than a rocket.

Amalia had been thinking that since the Spiritual Cave was so useful, she could come back a few more times. But now she realized it was only effective the first time.

"Thank you for the advice, Elder. I won't come back next time."

"If you want to improve, focus on real combat. It's more effective than sitting around and meditating. Even the sword of Master Lian was forged through countless battles. If you don't understand this, ask your master," the elder added.
