Dalvin put his thoughts aside and decided to increase his power as much as he could right now. With the time left until Jennifer would pay him a visit, he decided to increase his realm once more by spending the next 16 hours cultivating to Qi Refinement level 8.
Dalvin felt a bit amused and frustrated. The normal person, without any resources and just a level one low-grade root in all elements would take 3 years to enter Qi Refinement level 1, another 3 years to go to level 2, and 4 years to go to level 3.
To reach Qi Refinement level 10 to try Foundation Establishment, such a low-level talent would need approximately 66 years assuming spiritual energy did not change and they meditated 24/7 with no break to do anything else.
The lifespan of a Qi Refinement cultivator was 150 years the moment you induct Qi into your body. Even a low-level talent without resources in a 'barren' area like this city had hope of Foundation Establishment in their lifetime if they were diligent enough.
