A Few Minutes Ago;
While others were busy protecting him, Ken was busy cultivating.
The problem was that he felt the presence of the rock creatures near him. This almost startled him to the point of waking up.
But surprisingly enough, he didn't sense any sort of ill intent from these rock creatures. He was unable to understand this.
It's not like he had the ability to read others' emotions. He just didn't feel them attacking him.
So, he let them do their job while he continued his cultivation progress.
Reaching the Qi Condensation Realm required him to open the first main meridian in his body.
Unlike the secondary meridians, there were nine main meridians, and these meridians were important to channel a large amount of Qi into his body.
But it was called Qi Condensation Realm for a reason.
That was to turn the gas into a liquid.
Normally, Qi would remain in the form of a gas. That's how cultivators were able to absorb it from the surroundings.
