Hi all,

In another episode of "How grateful I am to have amazing readers", one of the subscribers discovered a discrepancy between previously stated baseline qi amounts.

Specifically, it was between the genius level of qi at Rank 1 Qi Condensation vs the protagonist (James). Adding to that, was other lore aspects which should have increased both the protagonist and the geniuses further.

Leading to a number of changes being made to many chapters.

So.

Here's a quick overview:

1. The average cultivator has 1 unit of qi when they cross into Qi Condensation. They've only opened their lower dantian.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Nothing has changed on this level.

2. Geniuses will have 3 units of qi when they cross into Qi Condensation. They will have either gotten all three dantians opened, a special body constitution, meridian upgrades, or a combination of all three.

Anything below the genius level is simply considered above average, though could be used in the same breath as lower geniuses.

The qi amount changed from having 2 units, to 3 units.

3. James has 4 units of qi when he crossed into Qi Condensation. 3 units of qi represents going beyond the average and all the way up to the fullest potential of the body. 4 units represents going beyond even that.

His healing on top of having the perfect combination is what allows him to cross that barrier. All of which strains the body in an unsustainable way. But his healing constitution/aura bypasses all of that, allowing him to ignore those issues.

The qi amount changed from having three units to 4 units.

I've updated the past chapters/lore/spreadsheets to reflect these points, and my goodness, I truly hope I haven't missed anything.

For future chapters, I'll be displaying the progressions in an easier to understand format.

Either way, thanks for the patience and sorry for any confusion.
