Comprehensive improvements, a changing situation! Generous attendant resources, a mission like letting a rat into a granary

Those ten years passed like a white colt flashing past a crack in the wall. They might seem long, but to high-level cultivators, especially Nascent Soul cultivators, they amounted to little more than an instant.
