"I...I can't break through to level three! and in maybe half a month, it will be my turn to battle, all the other kids were level three already, how am I going to battle them now... And I don't want that old hag to humiliate you again but...but what will happen if I can't win against her son?!."
"Yue'er, cultivating is not easy at all, your journey from level zero to level two is quite smooth because of your innate talent. I swear that you are the fastest human I have ever seen to jump to level two from level one within a weak. Even I, that was praised and envied for my innate talent took six months!, whole 6 months and I spent a year becoming a level three cultivator but you, it is not even up to a month yet but you are sulking around. Ahh, you are lucky and you should understand how monstrous your talent is, and this proves that it is only a matter of time before you become a level three cultivator."
Lin Yue kept quiet for a long time before finally rolling her eyes. "Why do you have to be so serious?, nope, I think it is jealous."
Lin Weidong: "....."
Who was looking sullen for not reaching level three now? He shouldn't have comforted her!
The atmosphere in the carriage became lighter as the father-daughter duo chatted about jargon.
When they reached their residence, Lin Yue had become her usual self and she instantly ran to her mother. Thankfully, the beautiful lady was not busy.
She recounted all that happen on the stage to her mother and added when she finished.
"If I am a level three cultivator, I would have been really happy to battle that Lin Yu guy."
Her parent secretly exchange glances. In the end, their daughter is still on the matter of being a level three cultivator.
"Mother, time to cultivate!." Lin Yue stretched her tiny body, ready to go to her room when her mother stop her.
"You haven't had lunch yet, don't tell me cultivation is more important than food."
"Yeah, of cou..." Lin Yue caught hold of her tongue in time and secretly glance at her parents. Seeing the stern expression on her mother's face, she instantly change her answer.
"Of course not!, food is more important than cultivating!, or how am I going to cultivate if my stomach is empty." she rubbed her stomach and quietly sat back.
Lin Weidong shook his head secretly and wonder why his daughter feared her mother instead of him.
Xie Mingzhu nodded at her daughter and winked at her maid, Ranran.
Ranran smiled and walk to the kitchen and soon brought a plate of black rice. The moment she placed it down, Lin Yue dig in.
"I thought you weren't hungry." Her father chuckled.
"When...when did I say that?." Lin Yue frown, not stopping to put food in her mouth.
"The chef is really something, how can they cook food to be this delicious?." Lin Yue thought as she felt the delicious taste of the rice in her mouth.
Within 20 minutes, she had finished the plate. Placing down her chopstick, she look at her mother with her bright shiny eyes and burped before asking. "Mother, can I have another plate? please."
Ranran's mouth twitched many times.
"That's spiritual black rice!, a spiritual one that could make one absorb spiritual qi faster, even the emperor only have it two times a year, and this show how expensive it was but now, Young Miss wanted another bowl, she should as well become the emperor."
Of course, she could only think about it and didn't dare to say it out.
Xie Mingzhu shook her head. "Nope, that's enough, you should just go and cultivate."
Lin Yue pouted her lips and look at her father but the latter avoided her gaze. She glared at him before hesitantly leaving for her room.
Ranran take the dish away and respectfully retreated from the room.
"Do you think she will be able to break through?." Xie Mingzhu asks her husband softly.
"I think so. She must be at the bottleneck to be expecting a breakthrough.''
"I hope so." Xie Mingzhu said as she massage her shoulder.
Suddenly, Lin Weidong stood up and stand behind his wife and said gently.
"You are too dedicated to the rune drawing, let me massage your shoulders for you."
Xie Mingzhu wasn't able to reject him as his hand gently massage her shoulders.
Xie Mingzhu smiled. She thanked Goodness for blessing her with a thoughtful husband and a great child.
....
As soon as Lin Yue entered her room, all her playfulness disappeared. She sat crosslegged and close her eyes, entering into a state of tranquil peace.
Within a minute, spiritual qi started gathering towards her as usual and they were all absorbed by her soul core. She was determined not to sleep until she become a level three cultivator!
Her soul core has become larger and so the quantity of spiritual qi it is absorbing was simply enormous. It was like a large pit, no matter how much she absorbed, it remain a tiny bit to fill up but that tiny bit was simply... She cultivated till midnight and was about to give up when the spiritual qi in her soul core suddenly undergo a change and then started to shrink at a fast speed before finally stopping.
A smile involuntarily came over her lips, she finally break through!
