When you start from the bottom, you have to be meticulous and cautious in everything you do.
Carelessness often comes at a heavy price.
Take Xue Tong, for instance. He was known as the Insect King, a renowned powerhouse in the Fengming Dock Marketplace, on par with High-Tier Cultivators at the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation or above.
And yet, simply because he had underestimated a humble Spirit Farmer and recklessly barged into his backyard, he had lost his life.
He certainly wouldn't dare make the same mistake. He wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully until he had eliminated every possible threat.
Having made up his mind, he sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the Five Elements Technique, recovering the Spiritual Power he had consumed.
The battle had left him with less than half his Spiritual Power. Casting a Perfection-Level spell was particularly draining, and with his remaining strength, he could have only held on for another ten breaths or so.
