Everything seemed to fall into place.
While recovering at home, Rain enjoyed the company of his family, but the small buds' effect wasn't enough to heal his elder brother's leg.
Although his body was battered from the intense fight with Xun Bufan, Rain felt something stirring within him—a sense of breakthrough. He had reached the peak of the high-level spiritual disciple and could almost taste the promotion to spiritual master.
Yet, his strength wasn't enough for that final leap. The resources available to him were limited, and without proper support, advancing to spiritual master might remain a distant dream.
Rain thought of the small buds he had cultivated. If they could grow stronger, coupled with the Yangmai Pill, there might be hope for his brother's recovery. With this in mind, Rain made his way to exchange some pills and techniques, hoping to find the resources needed to move forward.
