"On the last day of quarrying, I tried to channel the inner strength I'd gained through Cultivation to strike the stone. It turned out to be very easy to knock off a huge chunk, and my inner strength actually increased rather than decreased."
"I think this inner strength is just like the spiritual energy we cultivate, circulating according to a certain set of rules. It's just that we haven't figured out the pattern yet, so we can only slowly build it up and let the inner strength remain in our meridians."
"Fellow Daoist Han makes a lot of sense. Let's do the same as before tomorrow—take turns quarrying while verifying our conjecture."
