In Yan Manor:
Lady Meilan and the doctor worked diligently, boiling the precious herbs required for mending Yan Sen's soul, their faces etched with concern and hope.
Lady Meilan looked at her unconscious son, a mix of worry and hope evident in her eyes. "Doctor, will this elixir really help him? It's been 12 hours, and there's been no sign of improvement."
The Dr. Xun, a seasoned practitioner with a reputation for his skills, tried to reassure her. "Lady Meilan, we can only hope for the best. These herbs are potent, and the elixir we've created should aid his soul's healing. But it's a critical time, and we must be patient."
Inside Yan Sen’s head:
Within the ethereal realm of Chrono Orb, Yan Sen's soul, the Time Sovereign continued guiding him through the intricate cultivation technique.
Yan Sen said, "You know, Master, this whole cultivation thing is both exciting and scary. I can't believe I've been out for six months already! My parents must be worried sick!"
The Time Sovereign chuckled, his ethereal presence soothing. "Ah, little one, fear not. Time within the Orb flows differently. Outside, only twelve hours have passed. Your parents need not worry just yet. Continue your efforts, I estimated that your soul will recover in 6 years and you will achieve great heights."
"But six years, Master! That's like forever for me!" Yan Sen exclaimed, feeling overwhelmed by the thought.
The Time Sovereign's eyes twinkled with amusement. "Ah, but in the realm of cultivation, six years is merely a fleeting moment. Remember, perseverance is the key to mastering this path. You possess a rare soul, young one, and with dedication, you will make astounding progress."
Days turned into weeks, and Yan Sen's determination grew. He practiced the soul cultivation technique diligently, occasionally stumbling but never losing his persistence. He was making remarkable progress, and the Time Sovereign praised his efforts.

After 18 days, Yan Sen sensed a profound change within his soul. Energies surged through him, and he felt a newfound strength. "Master, something strange is happening! I feel like my soul is being helped from the outside!"
The Time Sovereign revealed the truth with a smile. "Indeed, young one. Lady Meilan and the doctor have used a soul-mending elixir to hasten your recovery. The elixir nourishes your soul, and your cultivation technique absorbs its essence, accelerating your healing process."
Yan Sen's eyes widened in awe. "That's incredible! I feel so much better already. But why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The Time Sovereign teased, "Ah, you were making such progress on your own, little one. I wanted you to experience it firsthand. Besides, it's more amusing this way."
As the conversation continued, the Time Sovereign shared knowledge about even more potent medicinal herbs available in the mortal realm. He mentioned a mountain near Yan Manor where these herbs grew abundantly but were largely overlooked by mortals.
"I can't wait to explore and gather these herbs, Master!" Yan Sen exclaimed with enthusiasm.
Time Sovereign chuckled, "Patience, young one. Once you've recovered and your soul is strong enough, I will teach you how to harvest these precious treasures. Your potential is boundless, and together, we will achieve greatness."
Back in Yan Manor:
The doctor couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the essence of the elixir vanish in just six hours. He muttered to himself, "Did it evaporate? Impossible. This boy's constitution is extraordinary!"
Lady Meilan, overhearing the doctor's words, chimed in with pride, "That's my son! He's always been special, even from a young age."
The doctor nodded, admiration evident in his eyes. "Indeed, Lady Meilan. He possesses an extraordinary body constitution, I don’t know what kind of body constitution is it, but I’m sure it’s extraordinary. It's no wonder he's made such incredible progress in such a short time. I thought he is not going to survive, at this rate, I'm sure he will wake up in a month at most. He truly is a prodigy."
As the week progressed, Yan Sen continued his soul cultivation journey, his determination unwavering, and his fighting spirit intact. The future held great promise for the young boy, as his soul embarked on a path of growth and strength, guided by the enigmatic Time Sovereign.
