Observing the determined appearance of the White Lion, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai exchanged a helpless glance, their eyes revealing a hint of frustration.
The White Lion knew how to improve its strength, but despite their continuous cultivation during this period, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai couldn't understand why their own cultivation had remained stagnant. This left them feeling disheartened.
"Xiao Bai, why can't we improve our strength?" Xiao Hei wore a pained expression, as he had always wanted to become the right-hand man of their master and protect her.
But now, with their strength unable to progress, they could only offer limited assistance for the time being. Once their master's strength improved again, they would become useless.
The thought of it made Xiao Hei feel completely unacceptable.
Wearing a similarly pained expression, Xiao Bai said, "I don't know either. It's really strange."
It felt as if a seal was suppressing their power, which was truly baffling.
"We can't continue like this; we need to find a way to improve!" Xiao Bai stamped its foot in frustration, thinking that if their strength had progressed, their master wouldn't have been injured today.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai exchanged another glance, both revealing a look of helplessness.
During this time, they had tried many methods, but none had yielded any results. It was truly frustrating!
After devouring several demon crystals with a crunching sound, the White Lion suddenly felt a familiar sensation emanating from its body.
Excitedly looking at Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, the White Lion said, "I'm about to make a breakthrough. Let me know when our master finishes her seclusion."
Upon hearing the White Lion's words, a trace of excitement flashed in Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's eyes. Soon after, they saw the White Lion entering seclusion nearby.
Calling it seclusion was more like sleeping...
After the momentary excitement, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh.
The White Lion had made another breakthrough, but their own cultivation had remained stagnant!
Thinking back, the disparity in strength between the White Lion and them had been vast.
However, after a year had passed, the White Lion's strength was gradually catching up to them.
In a little while longer, the White Lion's strength would surpass theirs, which was truly distressing.
With this in mind, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai fell silent and began their cultivation together.
Regardless of why their progress had halted, cultivation was something they couldn't afford to neglect.
Unaware of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's frustrations, Bai Li Hongzhuang, currently in seclusion, meticulously practiced the "Summoning Demons Scripture."
As the technique circulated, the abundant energy within her circulated in a constant loop, continuously refining and assimilating the energy, purging impurities, and integrating it into her own body.
The energy of the Blood Ginseng Fruit gradually merged within her, while the energy in Bai Li Hongzhuang's dantian continued to grow stronger.
The room regained its tranquility, with only the sounds of Bai Li Hongzhuang and the three demonic beasts breathing.
At the same time, in the four rooms near Bai Li Hongzhuang, Xia Zhiqing and the others were also practicing their techniques, absorbing the energy of the Blood Ginseng Fruit.
As their techniques operated, they discovered the astonishing richness of the Blood Ginseng Fruit's energy. A constant flow of energy poured into their dantians, and they felt their strength rapidly and steadily increasing.
This sensation was incredibly surprising.
Before this, they had never experienced such rapid progress.
This was the extraordinary effect of heaven-defying treasures!
