After the meal, Fares made sure they were fast asleep before going to the now empty room at the end of the 1st floor of the house.
The room was now empty, with no sign of the core ever being present. Fares sat on the ground in lotus position and closed his eyes.
He had nothing to do till the girls wake up, so he decided to stabilize his cultivation, as he did not have time after his breakthrough.
After he spent the whole night stabilizing, he felt that he had more control over his energy, and his emotions started to calm down once again.
He just realized that, as he sped through the cultivation ranks, he had no time to actually consolidate his cultivation.

At first, he thought that it was ridiculous. What does the mind have to do with cultivating quickly? But now, he understood why.
