Huang Fu appeared somewhat perplexed.
Gu Chaoyan spoke directly, “I have followed the instructions in the book you gave me, and I have completed it. I feel great about it, Master. Do you happen to have more advanced books? I would like to dedicate some time to further cultivation.”
“…”
“Now that the door to enchantment is open and the world is in chaos, I need to become highly skilled in order to protect the people I care about.”
Hearing her words, Huang Fu found it hard to believe.
He used his consciousness to assess her magical power and discovered that she had already reached the beginner level.
However…
The books he had prepared were meant for her to cultivate over the course of a month.
Ordinary individuals with Spiritual Roots would require around six months to cultivate and break through to the beginner level. Even those with exceptional talent would need at least three months.
But the Phoenix Girl was different. She possessed greater talent than anyone he knew, and based on Huang Fu’s understanding of Feng Le, it was possible for her to achieve a breakthrough within a month.
Yet, what he hadn’t anticipated…
She had accomplished it in just one day?
Huang Fu was astounded.
Feng Le had become even more formidable.
What kind of being was she?
Huang Fu remained stunned for a moment before advising, “You have only just reached the initial stage. Don’t worry, take a few days’ rest; pushing too quickly could have adverse effects.”
“…”
“I will find a middle-grade cultivation method that suits you,” Huang Fu responded.
“…”
“With your beginner-level magical power and the white jade sword, you should be able to keep them safe as long as you don’t encounter any monsters, Fey, or demonic spirits. And even if something like that were to happen, I am here,” Huang Fu reassured Gu Chaoyan.
Finally, Gu Chaoyan managed to calm herself down.
Huang Fu was correct about not rushing for success, as it could have adverse consequences.
However…
Now that the problem was resolved, Gu Chaoyan didn’t immediately depart as she had done previously.
There was one more matter she wished to discuss with Huang Fu.
“Can Huaijin cultivate?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.
Although Huaijin possessed great martial arts skills, intelligence, and the protection of the Shadow Door, after meeting Gao Xiu, Gu Chaoyan truly comprehended his immense power.
If he could cultivate, she believed he would become even stronger.
“No,” Huang Fu replied without hesitation.
Gu Chaoyan was puzzled.
Why couldn’t he cultivate?
“He cannot cultivate in the same manner as you do. If he attempts to do so, it will have negative consequences,” Huang Fu explained. “If he desires to become strong and stand by your side, he must forge his own path.”
“…”
“Some individuals are destined to endure more hardships in life, such as Zhou Huaijin,” Huang Fu remarked.
He appeared deeply serious, with a hint of personal resonance in his eyes.
Before Gu Chaoyan could inquire further, a commotion erupted outside the space.
“It’s best for you to leave now,” Huang Fu suggested.
Gu Chaoyan nodded and hurriedly exited the space, asking, “What’s happening?”
