Lin Xiuyuan shook his head inwardly, feeling rather helpless.
At this moment.
Huo Yun emerged from the spirit beast chamber, a hint of joy on her face. She approached, bowed respectfully, and offered her congratulations:
"Congratulations, Master, on your successful completion of seclusion! Your cultivation has greatly improved, reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Breaking through to the Upper Realm Purple Talisman is just around the corner!"
"The difficulty of the upper realm is incomparable to that of the lower realm. Even those geniuses with a single spiritual root may not have enough confidence to break through, so it is too early to say."
Lin Xiuyuan was very self-aware. Among those geniuses who broke through to the Purple Mansion stage, only three or four out of ten succeeded. For ordinary cultivators, it was even less than one in ten, let alone a cultivator like him with extremely poor aptitude. He truly only had a sliver of a chance to succeed!
This is just a small breakthrough, which is certainly something to be happy about, but there is no reason to be proud or complacent.
Lin Xiuyuan had a clear understanding of this and still maintained a cautious attitude.
He glanced at Huo Yun and said, "You're almost at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage. Have you finished the Three Treasures Pill? Do you need any more?"
Huo Yun replied, "No, with the abundant resources given to me by my master, and the help of the Demon Purification Bottle, I haven't wasted the Three Treasures Pill. I plan to refine the Three Treasures Pill after this small competition and break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in one fell swoop!"
Lin Xiuyuan nodded. After decades of cultivation, Huo Yun had finally reached the edge of a breakthrough. If she successfully broke through, it would be a double blessing.
"In that case, you should go and prepare for your breakthrough."
Lin Xiuyuan said calmly.
"Huh? Master isn't planning to participate in the minor competition?" Huo Yun asked, somewhat surprised.
"Now that I've broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, the competition group assignments are different. Facing those older disciples directly, my chances of winning aren't great."
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Even with your help, we might not get first place in the group. If you fight against a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the difference in strength is quite large, and there's bound to be a risk of injury. This will undoubtedly slow down your breakthrough. You should focus on breaking through first. I'll just participate casually in this small competition. I've just broken through, so it's impossible for me to get a very good ranking. It doesn't matter."
This period of seclusion, aimed at improving cultivation and achieving breakthroughs, lasted nearly six years in total. The next round of the competition is about to begin.
However, as he said, having broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he was assigned to a different competition group, and since he had just broken through, he had no chance of winning against those older disciples. This time, he could focus on participating.
Once things are completely stable and Huo Yun has successfully broken through, then it will be time to strive for a ranking.
