63: Chapter 63 Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Foundation Building

Just as Chu Tianqing was immersed in her boundless daydreams, Wang Bin slowly opened his eyes.

This Breakthrough was truly an unexpected surprise for him.

Two months ago, he had already sensed that he was on the verge of breaking through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, but for various considerations, he had been forcefully suppressing this urge to break through.

He knew that while Breakthroughs meant an advancement in strength, in this Cultivation World, every step required careful consideration. Exposing one's brilliance too early or falling into a Bottleneck could invite unknown dangers and predicaments.

He never expected that just a light sip of Spiritual Tea would lead to such an unintentional and muddled Breakthrough.

After the Spiritual Tea entered his body, it was like a dynamic, trickling stream instantly surging through his Meridians.

His Spiritual Power, originally like a calm lake, was suddenly disturbed as if a huge rock had been thrown into it, creating ripples that grew increasingly turbulent, gradually converging into a powerful force that broke through the Bottleneck that had been restraining him.

Although the Spiritual Power within his body was not yet fully abundant, he knew in his heart that this was no longer a difficult problem to solve.

He could feel that he only needed to find a quiet place, diligently circulate his Cultivation Technique, and absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and it wouldn't be long before his Spiritual Power reached the Perfection Realm.

However, being in an unfamiliar place and with Chu Tianqing by his side, it was indeed inconvenient to circulate his Cultivation Technique.

"Thank you, Miss Chu, for the Spiritual Tea. I truly did not expect to be able to break through; this is an unexpected surprise.

May I ask what kind of Spiritual Tea Miss Chu gave me to drink? Its effects are truly miraculous!"

Wang Bin quickly stood up, respectfully cupping his hands in thanks towards Chu Tianqing.

His heart was filled with curiosity and amazement for the Spiritual Tea, and at the same time, he was grateful for Chu Tianqing's generous hospitality.

In this Cultivation World, the preciousness of resources goes without saying. The value of a cup of Spiritual Tea that can help one break through is even more immeasurable, yet Chu Tianqing shared it with him so easily; he would engrave this kindness in his heart.

"Uh, no need to be so polite! It's just a common Little Enlightenment Tea. Even when I drink it daily, I haven't noticed such significant effects.

Uncle Qingmu, could it be that my father accidentally discovered a super Genius during his travels and therefore intends to recruit you into our Chu Family?

Are you also a Single Spiritual Root like Sister Qingluan, or perhaps possess some powerful and mysterious Bloodline?

Don't worry, you can tell me quietly, and I promise I won't reveal a single bit of it to anyone else."

Chu Tianqing blinked her lively eyes, gazing at Wang Bin with a serious expression.

Having grown up in a prominent Family like the Chu Family, she had only interacted with elite disciples from the Family or distinguished guests from various factions, so she was naturally familiar with legends of Geniuses and special Bloodlines.

Now, seeing Wang Bin break through a Realm with just a cup of Spiritual Tea, it was inevitable for her to feel suspicious, and numerous legendary stories about the rise of Geniuses instantly flashed through her mind.

Upon hearing this, Wang Bin couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.

Chu Tianqing was already a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, yet her thoughts were still so pure and innocent. How could such a confidential matter, if true, be casually spoken of?

In this Cultivation World, competition among various Families and Schools is fierce, and information about a Cultivator with potential often becomes an object of contention or suppression for various parties.

However, seeing her young age, perhaps the Family had overprotected her, leading to her inexperience in the world.

Indeed, second-generation Immortals also had their shortcomings. Although they never lacked Cultivation resources and could enjoy various rare Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine, Advanced Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals, and diligent guidance from famous teachers from a young age, their Heart-Nature was far less resilient than that of Loose Cultivators.

Loose Cultivators, on their path of Cultivation, had to face countless hardships alone, struggling for survival on the brink of death. Every predicament was a tempering of their Heart-Nature, teaching them patience, perseverance, and adaptability.

But Chu Tianqing grew up under the wings of her Family, like a flower in a greenhouse, delicate yet fragile. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

But he still firmly remembered the name Little Enlightenment Tea, secretly planning to purchase some if he had the Opportunity to acquire wealth in the future.

He knew that on the path of Cultivation, such Spiritual Tea might become a crucial aid for him to break through Bottlenecks.

"Miss Chu is probably overthinking things. You only need to look closely at my attire to understand a thing or two.

I am merely an Outer Sect Disciple of the Four Seas Commerce League, and just an ordinary Cultivator with Three Spiritual Roots. If I were truly exceptionally talented, why would I still be stuck in the outer sect to this day?"

Wang Bin shook his head with a bitter smile, slightly raising his arm to display the slightly worn Magical Artifacts on his person.

These Magical Artifacts, in a Cultivation World filled with dazzling, exquisite Magic Treasures, were like dim stars in the night sky, utterly unremarkable.

"Ah! That's impossible. If your Aptitude is so poor and your attire so shabby, why would my father bring you home?

I don't mean that your Family is poor, I... it's just that your Magical Artifacts are too ordinary."

As soon as Chu Tianqing spoke, she realized her words were inappropriate and quickly changed them in a flustered manner, appearing clumsy and somewhat adorable.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of shyness and regret. She secretly blamed herself for her rashness.

"Heh heh! Miss Chu is indeed straightforward. I happened to kill an Azure Flame Bird due to an Opportunity..."

Wang Bin recounted in detail the entire process of how he killed the Azure Flame Bird and presented it to Chu Wu.

His voice was steady and calm, as if he were telling a story unrelated to himself, but beneath that calm exterior lay the thrilling and near-death experiences he had during his adventure.

Only then did Chu Tianqing suddenly understand.

She knew that her cousin, Chu Qingluan, held an extremely important position in the Chu Family. She was the Family's cherished treasure, the star of hope for the Family's future Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Realm.

Chu Qingluan had displayed astonishing Cultivation talent from a young age. Her Single Spiritual Root Aptitude allowed her to progress smoothly on the path of Cultivation. Whether it was the speed at which she absorbed Spiritual Qi or her comprehension of Cultivation Techniques, she far surpassed ordinary people.

The Family placed great hopes on her, pouring countless rare resources onto her, paving a broad path for her to the Soul Transformation Realm.

Chu Tianqing was also filled with envy for her. Although she also worked hard to Cultivate, compared to her cousin, the gap in their talent made her deeply aware that she could not hope to catch up.
