Time passed, and over half a year later.
In the secret chamber within the Spirit Turtle Basin cave,
Lu Li was seated on the cushion, feeling the surging mana expanding his meridians to the point of slight swelling.
He circulated his cultivation technique with all his might, as spiritual energy from outside the cave flocked to him, forming a vortex as his own aura grew stronger and stronger.
"Breakthrough!"
After an unknown period, Lu Li emerged from deep concentration and shouted in his heart.
His momentum suddenly increased, sensing the mana in his body increase by several folds and a smile appeared on his face.
"At last, I've broken through to the twelfth level of Qi Refinement."
His divine sense slowly sank into his body, only to see ninety drops of potent essence blood flowing within the depths of his chest—several times more than that of an ordinary cultivator.
Even the range of his divine sense far exceeded that of a regular cultivator.
