264: Preparation before leaving, Lan Xiaoying's opportunity!

"Master, what is it?"

"Xiao Tong, I have finished my business in Danling State and will be leaving soon. I wonder if you would be willing to accompany me?"

"If you do not wish to come with me, that is fine too. My Sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has cultivation conditions a thousand times better than this Danling State, and you can go there to Cultivate instead."

"Also, Xiao Tong, I hope you will spend more time on cultivating the Dao in the future. Advancing both alchemy and the Dao side by side is the better choice!"

Yin Xiaotong was extremely shocked to hear Lu Hao's words!

Master is leaving already?!

Wasn't Master just named the first supreme alchemy Great Grandmaster in Danling State? Why is he leaving in such a hurry?!

What should she do? Should she follow Master, or...

"Master, could you give Xiao Tong some time? I need to discuss this with my parents. Can I give you my decision tomorrow?"

Lu Hao nodded gently and said:

"Alright, go ahead."

Watching Yin Xiaotong leave, Lu Hao flickered and instantly appeared in the middle of a wilderness.

A young woman was sitting cross-legged, cultivating in the wilderness.

It was Lan Xiaoying.

Under the guidance of Lu Hao and the others, Lan Xiaoying was nearing the Core Formation stage. To avoid disturbing her family with the commotion caused by her cultivation, she usually cultivated alone outside.

Seeing her focused expression while cultivating, Lu Hao felt quite satisfied. He considered her a brave, self-reliant girl who understood boundaries. Most importantly, her cooking skills were truly excellent!

"Little Cherry! Cultivating so diligently?"

Lan Xiaoying had not noticed Lu Hao's arrival at all. Suddenly hearing someone call her name, she was startled and quickly stood up.

"Lu... Brother Lu? Why are you here?! I was just cultivating and didn't notice you had arrived. I'm sorry..."

Lu Hao chuckled and said:

"Little Cherry, I am preparing to leave Danling State and won't be back for a while, so I came to ask if you would like to come with me?"

"Ah! Brother Lu, is that okay?! Can I go with you?!"

"Of course you can, why else would I have come to find you?"

Upon hearing Lu Hao's words, Lan Xiaoying was so happy that she spun around in place and quickly said:

"I want to follow Brother Lu! I will always follow Brother Lu!"

Looking at the incredibly excited Lan Xiaoying, Lu Hao also revealed a knowing smile. Lu Hao did indeed like Lan Xiaoying quite a bit, though not in a romantic way.

"Alright, then I will give you a gift."

"A gift?"

Lan Xiaoying said, puzzled.

This seems to be the first time Brother Lu has given me a gift, right? What is going on today? Has my luck finally turned around?

Lu Hao took a fiery red Medicinal Pill and a small bottle from his Storage Pouch, handed them to Lan Xiaoying, and said with a smile:

"Here, swallow this Medicinal Pill first, then drink this bottle of water. Leave the rest to me."

"Mm, alright!"

Lan Xiaoying revealed a sweet smile, took the items from Lu Hao without any hesitation, swallowed them directly, then opened the small bottle and drank the liquid inside in one gulp.

Seeing this, Lu Hao felt the trust she had in him.

Lan Xiaoying had no idea just how valuable the two things she had just consumed were!

The fiery red Medicinal Pill was the Rank 9 Advanced Medicinal Pill that Lu Hao had refined not long ago: the Tai Xu Nirvana Pill!

It was the very last one left in the entire Danling State, and it was in Lu Hao's hands; its preciousness could be imagined.

However, the liquid in the other small bottle was a true Immortal-Rank treasure: the Saint Origin Spirit Water!

In terms of rarity, the entire Danling State would not be enough to trade for such a small bottle of Saint Origin Spirit Water.

It had only one function: to stimulate the medicinal properties of the item consumed with it by tenfold!

The higher the Rank of the item, the lower the multiplier; although the Tai Xu Nirvana Pill was as high as Rank 9 Advanced, it was still far from being truly Immortal-Rank.

Therefore, this time, the effect of the Saint Origin Spirit Water was exactly tenfold!

Of course, with Lan Xiaoying's Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, consuming a Medicinal Pill of this level would only have one outcome: exploding to death. There would be no exceptions.

But with Lu Hao's current Ascension Perfection cultivation, as long as he assisted, he could slowly help Lan Xiaoying dissolve this immense medicinal power.

If it were the Lu Hao from before his Breakthrough, he would never have been able to achieve this.

The moment the Tai Xu Nirvana Pill and the Saint Origin Spirit Water entered her mouth, Lan Xiaoying felt an unimaginably massive amount of energy appear within her body.

It felt as if the entire ocean had been poured into a small lake!

Her consciousness instantly blurred, and she felt like she was about to explode to death the very next second.

Just then, Lan Xiaoying felt an incredibly gentle force that forcefully wrapped around that energy and compressed it, leaving only a tiny opening to allow it to seep into Lan Xiaoying's body.

But even this tiny bit of energy that seeped through was enough to directly sublimate Lan Xiaoying's Foundation!

She had originally possessed a very ordinary Medium Grade Foundation, but in such a short time, it had been upgraded to an Earth Grade Foundation!

Furthermore, the massive energy contained within it allowed Lan Xiaoying to complete a series of crazy Breakthroughs!

Core Formation Early Stage, Core Formation Middle Stage, Core Formation Late Stage, Core Formation Perfection!

Nascent Soul Early Stage, Nascent Soul Middle Stage, Nascent Soul Late Stage, Nascent Soul Perfection!

It was not until she reached Soul Transformation that Lan Xiaoying's cultivation Breakthrough finally slowed down, and this was only a negligible fraction of that massive energy!

After Lu Hao confirmed that his Seal was foolproof, he withdrew his cultivation, leaving the remaining energy for Lan Xiaoying to slowly absorb on her own.

According to Lu Hao's estimation, once she absorbed it all, achieving an Innate Dao Body would definitely not be a problem.

After all, a normal Tai Xu Nirvana Pill could upgrade a Foundation by one tier; with his tenfold effect, upgrading to an Innate Dao Body was simple, right?

As for what cultivation level she would ultimately reach, even Lu Hao did not know.

"Alright, you won't need to Cultivate in the future. Whenever you finish absorbing all the energy I have sealed within your body, you will be a master in your own right."

Lan Xiaoying could naturally feel the earth-shaking changes within her body!

She even had a feeling that she could return to her room in an instant!

Could this be the legendary teleportation?! She could actually teleport already?!

Thinking this, Lan Xiaoying couldn't help but try, and the next instant, she really did return to her room!

Looking at the familiar surroundings, she was incredibly excited, but she quickly teleported back in front of Lu Hao.
