Lin Heihu was fairly confident about how quickly he could restore his cultivation.
Back when he had inhabited the Ancient Corpse, he had also experienced periods of rapid cultivation recovery, though those opportunities had not been significant enough.

Lin Heihu grew anxious. "These Spirit Stones were given to me by Feng Adept so I can restore my cultivation. Ma Adept, you must not touch them!"
