Chapter 92 - 86: The Storage Bag
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.
Zhou Hong hesitated, her expression turning doubtful, "I guess that’s going to be difficult. After all, he’s already well on in years and there are many more challenges to overcome. This, well, it depends on fate. For us rootless Loose Cultivators, aiming for Foundation Establishment is tough! Your uncle wasted his younger years and let the time slip away. Only now is he trying to catch up. If he had joined a sect back then, he might already be a great Foundation Establishment cultivator by now."
Her tone carried a hint of pride and indulgence.
In her heart, Chen Li had always been an undiscovered genius.
