💡 Cultural Insight: Cultivation and fantasy realm hierarchy

Referencing a 'Foundation Establishment stage cultivator' ('zhuji qi xiuzhe'), this dialogue draws from the cultivation (xianxia) genre in contemporary Chinese web fiction and drama, where power levels are strictly categorized into sequential stages such as Qi Refining ('lianqi'), Foundation Establishment ('zhuji'), and Golden Core ('jindan').
