Jin Kingdom, Dangshan County.
In a dense forest at the foot of Dangshan, outside the county.
A middle-aged man with a resolute face let out a long breath and opened his eyes.
"I've finally broken through to the Qi Cultivation Third Layer. This *Three Transition Celestial Dance Scripture* passed down by the Ancestor is truly exquisite. The deeper I study it, the more I feel its uses are endless."
"Unfortunately..." He looked down at his own hands, which had become fair and delicate, the calluses having disappeared completely.
His gaze grew distant.
'My Cultivation speed is getting slower and slower now. I have a feeling that if this continues, I won't be able to reach the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer even if I live to the end of my days. My Cultivation might even regress. According to the Ancestor's writings, I should find a Spirit Vein and cultivate there. But where can I find a Spirit Vein?'
