I can feel it. My mana pool cells are already full.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? So you’ve reached saturation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Teach me now... how to reach the Mana Core Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms for a moment, then smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Let’s go to your room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples, still lying on the ground, looked up weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, what about us, Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion waved a hand casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest. You’ve earned it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud sigh of relief spread across the training hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them even flopped back down immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion and Dahlia left, walking down the quiet corridor toward her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they entered, Dahlia sat down on the mat cross-legged, her expression serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood nearby, his arms behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, listen carefully. I’ll teach you how to step into the Mana Core Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, you need to choose one mana pool cell. Just one, and you’ll turn that pool into a mana core cell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia tilted her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Master... we have trillions of mana pool cells. Where do I even start?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled, pointing at his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Start from the heart cell. The heart is the main organ that circulates mana-blood through your body. Once that one is stable, it will support the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, direct all the mana from your other mana pool cells into that one heart cell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compress it and imagine the liquid mana hardening, transforming into a seed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia took a deep breath and closed her eyes, calming her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood still, watching her carefully as faint ripples of mana began to form around her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two hours, Dahlia exhaled deeply, opening her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... I can feel it. One cell changed. It’s small and hard... like a seed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. That means you’ve entered the first step, and also congratulations! You already are a Mana Core Realm cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes brightened with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really did it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could celebrate, Garion raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet, Dahlia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like I said, this is only the first step. Right now, what you have is only a mana seed, and it’s unstable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must refine it further until it becomes a true mana core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then gestured with his hands, as if shaping something invisible in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Picture the seed being tempered by mana. Strengthen it until it’s solid and smooth, forming a rock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded and closed her eyes again, and soon hours passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after four long hours, her eyes opened again, glowing faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... I did it. The seed changed. It feels stronger now and complete.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. That means you’ve formed your first mana core cell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at her hands, flexing them slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It feels... different. My body feels heavier, but also stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s how it should feel. But remember, this is just the start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Start? I just spent six hours sitting here, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you’ll spend even longer on the next part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Figures...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crouched slightly so she could see his face clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The next step is to make your mana core cell perfect. Right now, it’s stable but not flawless. Keep tempering it until you feel it can’t be refined anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when it’s perfect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s when the real magic happens. Once a mana core cell becomes perfect, it will begin to absorb mana to divide on its own, or you know... cell splitting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cell splitting?\" she repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. You know how cells naturally divide? This will be the same, except your perfect mana core cell will eat the mana pool cells and replace them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shook his finger, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That way, you don’t need to turn every single one manually. Just one perfect cell can transform the rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes widened in realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it spreads... like evolution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. You only need one spark to light a fire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now, focus on changing all your heart’s mana pool cells into mana core cells. That’s your goal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded, determination in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. I’ll be checking your progress later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t rush. And don’t blow yourself up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia laughed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll try not to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion walked out, leaving her to her cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the door closed, Dahlia took a deep breath, her eyes focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Let’s do this. I’ll catch up to you, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion had just left Dahlia’s room when he turned his eyes upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, System.
