415: Sister, you can try it if you don't believe me.

Just as An Yunxi successfully achieved her Breakthrough, Yun Miao and True Lord Haoran immediately went to check on her.

"Your aura is harmonious, your Divine Sense is condensed, and there isn't a shred of instability. Since when did Yun Xi possess such a profound Foundation?"

An Yunxi had not only successfully achieved a Golden Core Breakthrough, but her Foundation was also extremely stable; it looked like she would be able to fully consolidate her cultivation in another month or two.

"Little Sister, how did you suddenly achieve your Breakthrough ahead of schedule?" her elder sister, An Yunmiao, asked curiously.

"Father, Sister." A blush appeared on An Yunxi's face as she twisted the corner of her clothing and whispered, "I'm not entirely sure either. It's just that while I was... Dual Cultivating with Junior Brother Liu, for some reason, a trace of golden nature was born within my dao foundation, and the Golden Core Bottleneck just broke at a single poke."

"Is it really like that?" An Yunmiao had already guessed as much, but there was still doubt in her eyes.

The Core Formation Bottleneck was like a natural chasm; even top-tier Third-Rank Heaven And Earth Treasures only increased the probability of success. Could the effects of a minor path like Dual Cultivation really reach such a level?

In the eyes of the Central State Dao Court, the East Sea Joyful Union Sect was a minor path that couldn't be brought to the table, let alone Liu Xuan, who was a self-taught amateur who had cobbled it together himself.

Liu Xuan didn't even have the lineage of the Joyous Union Sect; he had obtained some secret art from who knows where. It was already a miracle that he could learn it, so how could its effects possibly be stronger than the orthodox Joyous Union Sect?

Although An Yunmiao had never been to the East Sea, she had come into contact with orthodox Disciples of the East Sea Joyful Union Sect.

The Joyous Union Sect primarily cultivated Yin and Yang Cultivation Techniques, and their Dual Cultivation secret arts could only improve cultivation efficiency to a certain extent; the effects were not that exaggerated.

Even the Evil Path secret arts like absorbing Yin to supplement Yang or absorbing Yang to supplement Yin, which had huge side effects, couldn't compare to Liu Xuan's ability to help female Cultivators break through the Core Formation Bottleneck in such a short time.

"Of course it's true!" Seeing that her sister didn't believe her, An Yunxi immediately explained, "Junior Brother Liu possesses an peerless spirit body, and his physical Qi and blood are terrifyingly dense. He is naturally compatible with the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Secret Technique, so it's not strange that the effects are a bit better."

"There are so many Foundation Establishment female Cultivators in the Liu Family, and most of them only successfully broke through after following Junior Brother Liu. Is that because they have good talent? It's all relying on my Junior Brother Liu!"

As An Yunxi spoke, she grew proud, as if she were the one who had helped those female Cultivators break through.

Seeing that her sister was silent and seemed to still have doubts, she blurted out, "If Sister doesn't believe it, you can try it out yourself."

Try it out?

Was this something that could be tried?!!

Beside them, True Lord Haoran's face turned dark, his Confucian robes billowed, and he almost couldn't help but take action.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Yun Miao reached out and lightly tapped her younger sister's head, her tone somewhat shy and angry.

"Ah!" An Yunxi clutched her head and looked at her sister, then at her father on the side, realizing she had said the wrong thing.

How could she say such things in front of her father? If she was going to say it, she should have said it to her sister privately.

True Lord Haoran took a deep breath, his expression returning to normal, and said indifferently,

"Since Yun Xi has already achieved Core Formation, follow me back to Zhengqi Tower in a few days. One month later, we will hold the Core Formation Ceremony to announce it to the entire South Courtyard."

"I'm not going back!"

An Yunxi hid behind her sister, "I am now Junior Brother Liu's Dao Companion and a Liu family member. If a Core Formation Ceremony is to be held, it should be held at the Liu Family residence. Why should I go back?"

"You..."

The hand inside True Lord Haoran's sleeve couldn't stop trembling, and his eyes widened.

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"A fine 'Liu family member'!"

True Lord Haoran violently flicked his sleeve, a streak of escaping light flashed, and he had already disappeared.

"Yun Xi!" An Yunmiao hit her younger sister's head hard again and lectured, "If you continue to anger Father like this, be careful, or he might deal with your Junior Brother Liu!"

"He wouldn't, would he?"

"I was just telling the truth. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Why can't Father just understand?"

An Yunxi curled her lips, not feeling that she had done anything wrong. Instead, it was her father whom she didn't understand; why couldn't he accept such an outstanding son-in-law?

... A few days later.

The news that the South Courtyard's Second Young Miss, An Yunxi, had achieved the status of a Golden Core True Person began to spread throughout the entire South Courtyard.

"The Second Young Miss, An Yunxi, wasn't her Comprehension Ability average? How did she achieve Core Formation so quickly?"

"I'm not sure. This Second Young Miss is very mysterious; I have never seen her once."

True Lord Haoran had two daughters. His eldest daughter was exceptionally talented, a Peak Golden Core under three hundred years old; everyone in the South Courtyard knew of her, and she was even renowned at the Beast Taming Sect's Main Mountain.

Although his second daughter, An Yunxi, also had good talent and reached Peak Foundation Establishment at a young age, she did not participate in Sect affairs and rarely appeared in public. Many South Courtyard Disciples had only heard of her, but had never seen her in person.

The Foundation Establishment Realm could be hard-piled with resources. As the daughter of True Lord Haoran, it was no big deal for An Yunxi to Cultivate to Peak Foundation Establishment.

But achieving the status of a Core Formation True Person was different. Without some talent and Comprehension Ability, a Core Formation True Person could not be piled out with ordinary resources.

Any Golden Core True Person who could successfully break through had some substance; they could not be measured by ordinary geniuses.

A Golden Core True Person, the third realm of cultivation, could barely be called a superior Cultivator, even when compared across the entire Cultivation World.

Because of her special status, An Yunxi's achievement as a Core Formation True Person would inevitably allow her to wield power in the South Courtyard in the future, thus attracting the attention of many.

Quite a few people sent others to inquire about the situation of this Second Young Miss, and the news they received left them somewhat bewildered.

The Second Young Miss, An Yunxi, actually had a Dao Companion, who was none other than the rising Third-Rank Alchemist in Great Sun City, Liu Xuan.

"I heard that Liu Xuan is extremely lustful, a devil of lust. How could the Academy Head let his daughter marry him?"

"Heh~"

Someone said disdainfully in a low voice, "Alchemist Liu may be lustful, but his status as a Third-Rank Alchemist is solid."

"For the sake of profit, what wouldn't these high-level Cultivators do?"

Low-level Cultivators had been oppressed by high-level Cultivators for a long time; on the surface, no one dared to say anything, but complaining in private was a common occurrence.

"Exactly, exactly!"

Someone immediately agreed, "The Liu Family is developing rapidly, and the Merchant Alliance's business is booming. I think marrying off the daughter is fake, and seizing their business is what's real!"

"Everyone, I didn't hear anything. Farewell!!"

Saying things like this felt good, and if no one heard it, that was fine, but if it reached the ears of those with ulterior motives, one wouldn't have enough heads to be beheaded.

As more news was made public, everyone was even more bewildered. An Yunxi's Core Formation Ceremony was not being held at True Lord Haoran's palace, Zhengqi Tower, but was being held directly in Great Sun City.

For the dignified Second Young Miss of the South Courtyard, such a grand ceremony as the Core Formation Ceremony was not being held at Zhengqi Tower; this was very thought-provoking!

Could it be that True Lord Haoran didn't value this daughter, and therefore wouldn't allow her to go back to hold the ceremony? Or was there some hidden story involved, and True Lord Haoran had deeper considerations for this move?

Those who didn't know were curious, but those who were in the know were surprised at True Lord Haoran's indulgence toward the Second Young Miss, actually allowing her to do as she pleased even with such a major event.

The South Courtyard's Second Senior Brother Yunhe, Golden Core True Person Qin Mo, and Third Senior Sister Yun Xian, all knew how much the Academy Head doted on the Second Young Miss, Yun Xi.

The fact that the Golden Core Ceremony was being held in Great Sun City was the very proof of the degree of doting the Academy Head had for Junior Sister Yun Xi.
