My plan for escaping the frog village has worked, all I had to do was convince those miners to follow me and use them as a distraction for the guards. Now that I have escaped I can continue cultivating on the path to becoming an Immortal heaven master.

Norton Smithy cultivated in the forest for 5 days before he made a breakthrough to the second layer of the beginner qi gathering realm.

Then a Grand tortoise appeared in front of Norton Smithy.

"I have been watching you cultivate for these past couple of days. Good job reaching the second layer of the beginner qi gathering realm, now all you have to do is reach layer 10 of the qi gathering realm to make a breakthrough to the next realm"

"What are these layers you speak of tortoise?"

"Each realm has 10 layers that you must go through to make a breakthrough to the next realm and each layer requires more qi to be gathered but with each layer you will be able to gather qi faster, but it will still take longer to complete"

"Then how long would it take me to complete to the second layer of the beginner qi gathering realm?"

"To complete the second layer of beginner qi gathering realm you would need to gather 1500 qi which would take 14 days of cultivating to complete"

"Thank you for telling me all of this information tortoise, is there any way I can repay you?"

"You don't need to repay me anything I am just giving out knowledge that I have learned from living in this world for 5000 years"

"Thank you for being generous tortoise now I will continue to cultivate in the forest until I reach the next realm"

"You shouldn't stay in the forest it would be best to travel to Tulan city where you will be able to buy cultivation pills and learn battle techniques"
