Chapter 1110: A Stalled Breakthrough, Advice from Bifang

More than ten days had passed since Qin Xiao returned to Seven Stars Tower. He was still stuck at the last step of refining his Immortal Qi Meridians.

“This isn’t right. I’ve already consumed so many resources, so why is there still a tiny gap? Where exactly is the bottleneck?”

Qin Xiao felt deeply helpless. He knew the breakthrough would be difficult, but he had no idea it would be this stubborn, always stalling right at the critical juncture.

By yesterday, he had already reached the limit of his current phase, yet his total Body Refinement progress stubbornly remained at ninety-nine point nine percent. No matter what he tried, he just couldn’t complete that final step.

Everyone knew there was only a sliver between 99.9 percent and completion. But anyone who had ever downloaded an “art film” knew the problem: unless you could watch while it downloaded, 99 percent was about as useful as zero. If you couldn’t get past that last step, you had nothing.

Qin Xiao had originally assumed his cleansing wasn’t thorough enough, so he had spent an extra full day refining his body further, yet the result showed not the slightest change. If he had known earlier, he would have just asked the System yesterday.

“Realm? Aren’t these two supposed to be separate? How are they suddenly bundled together?”

Once he received the System’s reply, Qin Xiao finally understood the root of the issue. But wasn’t Body Refinement supposed to be independent of his cultivation realm? Why was it being restricted now?
