Everyone was listening intently, deeply immersed in the old man's vivid tale.
Suddenly, a shout broke the silence, startling everyone.
"Pop!"
"Pop!"
Two faint ripples of spiritual energy echoed in succession—Li Tiansheng and Li Huahua had both broken through to Qi Condensation Layer 4.
It seemed the old man's harrowing story had put them under a bit of pressure, and compounded by the spiritual fruits and tea they had consumed in the hall, their breakthrough came as a natural progression.
Li Lin offered his congratulations: "Congratulations, Junior Sister Hua and Junior Brother Tian, on reaching Qi Condensation Layer 4. Not bad at all! I believe in both of you. Keep cultivating, keep working hard, and scale new heights of brilliance."
Li Tiansheng and Li Huahua nodded excitedly.
They chimed in, "Under the wise and mighty guidance of Senior Brother, we will surely find the right path! We will stay true to our original aspiration and keep our mission firmly in mind! We will unwaveringly follow Senior Brother, surpass ourselves, challenge our limits, help one another, and bravely climb to the peak! We will follow Senior Brother all the way, obey his leadership, listen to his commands, and remain loyal to him through life and death!"
Li Lin was left somewhat dumbfounded. What in the world was all that about? Could cultivation damage the brain to this extent, and if so, was there any hope of a cure?
