In the past half year, he had been in seclusion, devoted to refining Boundary Stones. He had refined thrice, consumed three sets of materials, and failed three times.

Wei Yuan was not anxious, for during the Middle Ages, Cang Xu took seven hundred years on this hurdle, setting a goal of five hundred years for talented disciples of later generations.
