“We’ll talk inside.”
James said and entered the room.
In the room, Yemima sat opposite him.
“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you are jealous.” James smiled mischievously at Yemima.
Yemima, on the other hand, reminded him, “I’m just reminding you not to cross the line. Lust will prevent you from accomplishing what’s important. Such events must not be repeated constantly.”
Yemima was worried that James would fool around outside and bring home a group of women. If that happened, her status on Mount Doom would diminish. This was not what she or her family desired.
“Alright, don’t worry. I know my limits.” James stretched. At that moment, his suppressed urges had been released, and he could not feel any better.
“By the way, I plan to find a place and enter a closed-door meditation,” James said.
“A closed-door meditation?” Yemima glanced at James and said, “We don’t have much time left till the gathering. You have crossed into the Quasi Acme Rank. In what limited time we have, your rank will not increase any further.”
James was now at early-stage Quasi Acme Rank. Reaching the middle-stage would take ages, so he would not be able to reach that stage before the gathering no matter how great his potential was.
“I’m going to cultivate a secret art,” James explained.
“Cultivate what?” Yemima asked.
James said smilingly, “Previously, I went into hiding and cultivated after making my escape. It was then I obtained a providence. I’m worried that I won’t be able to fight one versus five during the gathering. So I have to cultivate some more.”
