48: Ye Feiyan broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, gaining two experience points per second.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through. Current Realm: Second Tier Peak!"

Mysterious Ink's mind stirred, and a brand new attribute panel appeared out of thin air.

"host: Mysterious Ink"

"Race: Black Water Profound Python (profound grade)"

"Realm: Second Tier Peak (cannot Breakthrough)"

"Hint: The host's current Realm has reached a Bottleneck. Please first advance your Bloodline before you can Breakthrough to the Third Stage."

"experience points required to Breakthrough to Third Stage Early Phase: 800,000"

"experience points required for next Bloodline Evolution: 1,000,000"

"Hiss..."

Seeing the astronomical experience points required, even Mysterious Ink couldn't help but gasp.

To Breakthrough from Second Tier Peak to the Third Stage actually required a full 800,000 experience points! And the next Bloodline advancement required a terrifying 1,000,000!

At this moment, he was immensely glad about his decision to secretly instigate the war between the Three Great Families and support the Ye Family in unifying Qingyang City.

Otherwise, if he had to wait for Ye Feiyan to slowly collect those Heaven And Earth Treasures step by step, who knew how many years it would take for her to successfully establish her Foundation Establishment! Wouldn't his great cause of upgrading be indefinitely delayed?

...Another day passed.

"Boom!!!"

Above the Ye Family Manor, the weather changed dramatically! Massive Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, as if summoned by an emperor, transformed into an enormous Spiritual Qi vortex, furiously pouring into the secluded Small Courtyard where Ye Feiyan was located!

A Foundation Establishment Realm pressure, far exceeding the Qi Refining Realm, filled with profundity and power, soared into the sky from that Small Courtyard!

Success!

"Ding! Detected that the host's contractor, Ye Feiyan, has successfully crossed a major Realm. The experience points automatically gained by the host per second will increase by an additional 1 point!" "Current experience points automatically gained per second: 2 points!"

Almost at the same time, the System's melodious prompt sounded in Mysterious Ink's mind!

Two points per second!

Twenty-four hours a day would be 172,800 experience points!

That seemingly distant 1,000,000 Bloodline Evolution experience could now be accumulated to Perfection in about six days!

Just as Mysterious Ink was secretly rejoicing, the tightly shut door, which had been closed for over a day, slowly opened with a "creak."

A beautiful figure, clad in white like snow and possessing an extraordinary, ethereal aura, slowly walked out.

At this moment, Ye Feiyan seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

Her skin was as lustrous as jade, Dao rhyme flowed around her body, and her clear, cold phoenix eyes seemed to contain a sea of stars. Just by standing there, she exuded an unrivaled, condescending aura!

Divine Path Foundation Establishment! It's done!

The first thing she did after coming out of seclusion was to find Mysterious Ink, who was lazily coiled in the courtyard.

"Mysterious Ink," she said, a confident and proud arc forming on her lips, her beautiful phoenix eyes holding a mischievous smile that said, "You're definitely going to lose." "Don't get too smug. Now, I have successfully achieved 'Divine Path Foundation Establishment'!

My Dao Foundation is flawless, far surpassing the mundane! It won't be long before my cultivation advances by leaps and bounds. Soon, I will completely surpass you in Realm!"

However, in response to her "provocative" declaration, Mysterious Ink merely smiled.

Boom!

An aura of Second Tier Peak Perfection, countless times more terrifying than her newly Breakthrough Foundation Establishment Early Stage, flashed across his body.

Instantly.

The smile on Ye Feiyan's face completely froze.

She... was stunned.

She stared blankly at the black giant python whose aura was as deep as the sea, her beautiful phoenix eyes wide open, her rosy little mouth unconsciously agape. Her mind was a complete blank.

Wh-what happened?

What happened outside these two days while I was in seclusion?

This guy... how... how did he also Breakthrough?!

"Want to surpass me?" Mysterious Ink's teasing thought slowly echoed in her mind. "Little girl, you still need to work harder."

"You!"

Ye Feiyan snapped back to reality, her pretty face instantly flushing crimson. She let out a fierce "hmph," turned her head away, and said indignantly, "Just you wait!"

Just then, a figure filled with wild joy and excitement descended from the sky. It was none other than the Ye Family Patriarch, who had sensed the aura and rushed over immediately!

"Hahahaha! Good! Excellent!" He looked at Ye Feiyan, whose aura had completely transformed, his face glowing with excitement. "Divine Path Foundation Establishment! My Ye Family has finally produced a true Heaven's Chosen Daughter!"

After the wild joy, his expression became incredibly solemn.

"Feiyan," he said in a deep voice, "Qingyang City is ultimately too small. The cultivation resources here can no longer meet your future growth. Therefore, I suggest you go to a broader stage—the Beast Taming Sect!"

"Beast Taming Sect?"

"Indeed." The Ye Family Patriarch's eyes flickered with a trace of recollection. "My Ye Family ancestor was once an Inner Sect Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. Unfortunately, he was limited by his talent and was stuck at Foundation Establishment Realm Peak his entire life, with no hope of reaching Golden Core. It was then that he became disheartened, left the Sect, and founded my Ye Family lineage here."

"I still have a token from our ancestor. I can write a letter for you to take with the token to seek a bit of protection from our ancestor's old acquaintances, to help you join the Beast Taming Sect. Are you willing?"

Ye Feiyan pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then slowly nodded.

She knew that the Clan Chief was right. The Beast Taming Sect, as one of the most powerful Sects within several thousand li, indeed possessed cultivation resources far beyond what a small Qingyang City could offer.

Half a day later, news arrived.

The Beast Taming Sect had agreed!

Ye Feiyan immediately decided to set off tomorrow!

...That night, she informed The Two Elders of the news.

Upon hearing this, The Two Elders' eyes were filled with endless reluctance, but they knew even more that this concerned their daughter's future prospects.

Ultimately, they suppressed the bitterness in their hearts and nodded.

That night, Mother Ye personally cooked a large table of incredibly lavish food, almost all of which were Ye Feiyan's and Mysterious Ink's favorite dishes.

At the dinner table, Ye Feiyan looked at her parents' feigned strong smiles and the few more strands of white hair at their temples that had appeared she didn't know when. She felt an indescribable pang of sadness rush to her nose, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Little Mysterious Ink," Mother Ye said at the dinner table, pulling Mysterious Ink's "hand" (the tip of his tail) and chattering with instructions, "It's not like home when you're outside. Yaner is cold-natured and doesn't know how to take care of herself. You must help us take care of her, alright?"

"Yes, yes," Father Ye echoed from the side, "Yaner, when you're out there, you should listen more to Little Mysterious Ink, okay? It's much more sensible than you are."

"I understand, Father, Mother." Ye Feiyan nodded with a tearful smile.

Mysterious Ink also nodded heavily.
