Shake Out Unparalleled Immortal Talent Every Day

Chapter 17: Above Great Perfection, the Peak of Qi Refining

"Wuji, why aren't you cultivating in the mansion? What brings you here to find me?"

Perfected Being Yuhua lowered her gaze and spoke slowly.

Her voice was cold, giving off a sense of distance despite being so close. However, if one listened carefully, they could detect a hint of weariness and desolation.

Today marked the seventeenth day since she had closed herself off in search of a breakthrough... and still, she had no clue.

But she had to break through as soon as possible because within the sect, there were only two Spirit Partitioning cultivators left - herself and the Elder.

The Elder's lifespan was nearing its end, and even consuming Spirit Medicine to extend it would not make much of a difference.

If the Elder passed away before she found an opportunity to reach the Dao Integration stage and complete her breakthrough, then the Heavenly Water Sect would be left with only one Spirit Partitioning cultivator...

Even though she was not an ordinary Spirit Partitioning cultivator, having reached the peak of the Spirit Partitioning stage long ago, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

Because this world was never as peaceful and harmonious as it seemed on the surface.

Beneath that facade lay... deep-seated darkness.

The Heavenly Water Sect had to face not only the dangers posed by monsters in the Canglan Mountain Range and rogue cultivators, but also the covetousness of some righteous sects.

That's why Perfected Being Yuhua felt exhausted and didn't want anyone to disturb her at this time.

But...

Zhao Wuji was an exception.

It wasn't because Zhao Wuji was her newly accepted disciple.

Nor was it because she harbored any unconventional thoughts about this disciple.

It was simply because Perfected Being Yuhua saw the future in Zhao Wuji.

Although this child had only displayed a Spirit Level Talent during the Ascension Conference, which couldn't be measured for its usefulness, she had determined from the moment she saw him that he would achieve great things.

While reaching the peak of the Spirit Partitioning stage might be the end for her, this child had a different potential.

The Heavenly Water Sect might flourish because of this child, and she, as his master, would be honored.

That was why Perfected Being Yuhua didn't hesitate to end her seclusion and personally accept this child as her disciple.

Similarly, that was the reason why she was willing to end her seclusion for the second time now.

...

Zhao Wuji had no idea what Perfected Being Yuhua was thinking.

He didn't know that his master, who usually presented herself as a Nascent Soul cultivator, was actually a Spirit Partitioning cultivator at the peak of the stage.

He only felt that his master was a good teacher and... a modest female cultivator.

Zhao Wuji had originally come to the Tianlan Hall with a try-it-out attitude.

He didn't barge in forcefully - he wasn't that reckless.

Everyone knew that seclusion should not be disturbed, and if he really barged in...

He might end up angering his master...

Zhao Wuji had no intention of changing masters.

A responsible, non-frivolous, and career-oriented female cultivator like Perfected Being Yuhua, who could ignore his almost fully maxed-out charm under the Unparalleled Elegance buff... and was also the Sect Master.

She was the perfect support he had in the Heavenly Water Sect, a rare encounter.

That's why Zhao Wuji simply knelt at the entrance and shouted.

Then, the tightly closed doors automatically opened.

He knew that his master, Perfected Being Yuhua, had accepted his request to see her.

After that, he strode into the hall and stood before Perfected Being Yuhua, bowing respectfully.

And at this moment, upon hearing Perfected Being Yuhua's question, Zhao Wuji knew that his master wanted him to get straight to the point and not waste time.

He didn't beat around the bush and immediately knelt before Perfected Being Yuhua, calmly saying, "Master, your disciple has reached the peak of the Qi Refining stage. I should have started preparing for the hundred-day Foundation Building stage, but..."

"Your disciple wishes to forge a perfect Dao Foundation. It is feared that relying solely on the peak of the Qi Refining stage may not be sufficient. Your disciple is considering the need for some external assistance to forge a perfect Dao Foundation. I beseech Master's mercy and guidance on what is needed to achieve a perfect Dao Foundation."

Perfected Being Yuhua raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "You want to forge a perfect Dao Foundation?"

Not only a perfect Dao Foundation, but I strive for perfection in every stage!

"Yes, I hope for the mercy of the Master!"

Zhao Wuji bowed again.

Perfected Being Yuhua fell into silence.

After a long time, she slowly spoke, "It's not easy to achieve a perfect Dao Foundation. With your aptitude, even if you don't pursue a perfect Dao Foundation, there is still a possibility of Transcending Tribulation Ascension in the future..."

"Master! Your disciple aspires to become an immortal. If I don't forge a perfect Dao Foundation, it will inevitably lead to an unstable foundation in the future... So, no matter how difficult it may be, your disciple is willing to give it a try!" Zhao Wuji said without hesitation.

He even dared to explode his ambition.

The Master's silence already indicated that she must know something.

As for shouting out the slogan of becoming an immortal in front of Perfected Being Yuhua...

Zhao Wuji felt no psychological pressure at all because he knew that Perfected Being Yuhua was a practical person, unlike those female and male cultivators who couldn't resist his charm.

When Perfected Being Yuhua heard Zhao Wuji's words, her attitude indeed softened. She said, "To achieve a perfect Dao Foundation, you cannot rely on external forces during the Hundred Days Foundation Building. However, it is not enough to only reach the Consummation stage of Qi Refining..."

"You should know that there is another realm above the Consummation stage of Qi Refining, called the Extreme stage of Qi Refining..."

"However, the method to reach the Extreme stage of Qi Refining has been lost since ancient times. Even this realm has gradually been buried by the years and forgotten by the world..."

"As for how to achieve it, even the Master doesn't know much about it. All I know is that since ancient times, even those great sages of the past rarely reached this realm in the Qi Refining stage..."

At the end, Perfected Being Yuhua's voice trembled slightly.

And Zhao Wuji's heart pounded as he listened.

Sure enough, the Master knew.

The Extreme stage of Qi Refining above the Consummation stage of Qi Refining...

Even those great sages who could push aside all enemies in the world rarely reached this realm in the Qi Refining stage...

Wasn't it worth a try?

After all, he was a man with a Goldfinger!

If worst comes to worst, he could just seclude himself and cultivate his talent every day!

Even though the method was unknown, talent could make up for it!

"Thank you, Master. Your disciple takes his leave!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuji felt that his fingers were already itching.

He quickly bid farewell to Perfected Being Yuhua and hurriedly left.

Seeing his impatient appearance, Perfected Being Yuhua couldn't help but smile.

The legendary Extreme stage of Qi Refining that could forge a perfect Dao Foundation, even she only obtained fragmentary records of this realm from ancient ruins...

What kind of brilliance would it be? She was really looking forward to it...

...

An hour later, Zhao Wuji returned to his own nest and brought up his panel:
