Which way is correct?

Wu Long performed the same care for Feng Yi as last time. And after he ensured that she is comfortable, cultivated her Yin Qi. He did not advance, as he was already in the 9th level of the Qi Gathering Realm so it would take a lot more to advance within a Major Realm, not to mention crossing to the next one. But he did raise his cultivation from just having advanced to the 9th level to further within the level.

As he did not advance, it took a lot less time, so after he washed up he just went beside her and embraced her as he also fell asleep.
