One might have a question, that if people used pills in the Qi Gathering realm to push through the stages, wouldn't the risk be the same as when they used pills to break through?
After all, even in the Qi Gathering realm, while they controlled a batch of Qi strands to enter the correct meridian, another batch would quickly arrive, wasn't the risk practically the same?
The answer was no.
During the breakthrough process, the first batch of Qi would need to go through the body and enter the region below navel safely without entering any meridian, then it also needed to be condensed, all the while the second batch of Qi strands would have already entered.
However, while absorbing the pills in the Qi Gathering realm, one only needed to guide them into the correct meridians.
The thing was, these meridians were way more closer to the edge than the area of dantian.
