Chapter 83: Breakthrough (Seeking First Subscription)
Xiang Feifei paused her actions of eating, giving subtle nods after a moment and said, "Hmm, along with Sixth Great Uncle, there is a total of seventeen peak apprentice disciples, among which six had the hope of making a breakthrough."
"Were they all stuck because they couldn’t get their hands on Foundation Establishment spiritual objects; because they weren’t even able to get Foundation Establishment Pills and unable to complete the rune fusion?" Wang Zijia asked surprisingly.
Seventeen people, that’s quite a lot.
"Not all of them. Ninth Great Uncle used the Foundation Establishment Pill and Second Great Uncle even used cherishing spiritual objects but still couldn’t succeed in breaking through." Xiang Feifei shook her head and sighed, "Root cause being the clan is not able to nurture talents without resources, lacking foundation."
"To achieve the level of advanced apprentice disciple within our clan is not difficult, but to have solid fundamentals and hope to break through within fifty years, that really depends on talent. A few elixirs can’t solve that problem."
"As what happened to you, no one has immersed in Clay Control rune cultivation for mana distillation during the primary disciple phase and hence set up a solid foundation."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia was enlightened. No wonder Sixth Great Uncle Xiang Liang said when he was teaching him, in the apprentice realm, what one should least concern about is Dao cultivation, which is just equivalent to consuming a few more bottles of elixir.
It seems Xiang family has learned a lot from this!
"Are there any uncles in the clan who can’t see any hope of a breakthrough, thus studying miscellaneous things?" Wang Zijia asked again.
"Ah..." Xiang Feifei was taken aback for a moment and looked at Wang Zijia, "Quite a few uncles are like that. Second Great Uncle often says that the current situation of the clan is because they didn’t set a good example."
"Once they lose hope, they wouldn’t seriously comprehend or accumulate the foundation. Instead, they would start messing around. In order to save up money, they would learn and do everything. They think if they aren’t successful, their next generation can rise. As a result, each generation has been pointing at the success of their descendants."
