>Foundation
Things have calmed down. Meaning you have now time for working on your foundation. The bulk of your day is spent sitting crossed-leg in front of your Quiet Banner while your buddies fuss and run all around you.
This time, your Foundation work is a smooth ride. Your pill consumption is minimal; not enough to reach enlightenment though. Your Astral-Self/Fighting Intent pill supply is running low; enough for one month at best, more likely half of one. Your Strength rise, bolstered by the secret legacy you found - not at your apex yet. However, your Way of the Spiritual Beast Boundfighter Wanderer reached its apex. In the end, you gathered a twentieth of your full Dantian, bringing it to one third full.

>Touch base with Ai
It's been a good while since you've properly taken time to discuss with your treasured sister Ai.
"... And that's it for those ruin exploration.
- It's cool you've settled things without violence with the plants. But the Draugr thing... couldn't you make friend with it?
- I'm pretty sure you would had sorted it out. Wouldn't had worked for me. What about you? What's up?
- Oh, things are going well. Close to minor realm breakthrough."
FALLING BEHIND! FALLING BEHIND! FALLING BEHIND!
you shush the voice yelling in your head. Plaster a smile upon your face.
"That's great! Good job!
- Anyway, I was thinking of your story book lately... Could you lend it to me?"
On one hand, that won't cost you much. On the other... there's the risk of even more falling behind.
