Chen Li emerged from the underground chamber.
Zhou Hong was chatting about everyday matters with Zhang Shuniang. Seeing Chen Li come out with a beaming smile, she couldn't contain her joy and, leaving Zhang Shuniang behind, she walked up to him and eagerly asked, "Did you make it?"
Chen Li replied with a smile, "By a stroke of luck, I've made a breakthrough. Carry on with your chat; I'm going out for a walk."
"Hmm, be careful on the road."
After he had left the house.
Zhang Shuniang, unable to suppress her curiosity, asked, "Ms. Zhou, has uncle made a breakthrough in cultivation?"
Zhou Hong's face lit up with happiness, "Yes, indeed. Your uncle is now a late-stage Qi Cultivator. The later stages of Qi Cultivation are always a huge bottleneck. Some people get stuck there for a lifetime. I never imagined that your uncle would break through in one go!"
"Then uncle is hopeful for Foundation Establishment!" Zhang Shuniang blinked her eyes, somewhat enviously.
