Elder Liu did not immediately answer; instead, he fixed his gaze on Luo Jinxiao, seemingly lost in thought.
Feeling unnerved by his intense gaze, Luo Jinxiao quickly lowered her head, avoiding his eyes. She couldn't shake the feeling that his deep, well-like eyes could see through her past and present lives.
But this was, of course, just an illusion. Eventually, Elder Liu spoke up, saying, "Yes, you're at the second stage of the Golden Core."
The second stage of the Golden Core!
This was the level of cultivation she had achieved in her previous life. It seemed she hadn't come back as just a soul, nor had she lost her cultivation; it was merely hidden for the moment.
"However, your spiritual veins are quite chaotic now, and the spiritual power within you seems to originate from different sources. In all my years, I've never seen such a peculiar case," Elder Liu continued slowly. "Could it be some sort of divine intervention?"
Luo Jinxiao was nearly overwhelmed with joy but managed to calm down upon hearing Elder Liu's words.
He was right; it wasn't normal for someone once deemed talentless to suddenly possess spiritual veins and reach the second stage of the Golden Core. It was no wonder he advised her to keep this hidden.
Elder Liu, seeing her expression, understood there were things she couldn't easily disclose. He turned his back to her and said, "Very well, I won't pry. Just remember what I told you: even in a small sect like ours, there are many dangers. Not all immortals are good people; be cautious."
Hearing his advice, Luo Jinxiao straightened her posture and respectfully replied, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
"You are obedient," Elder Liu said, seemingly pleased. With a wave of his hand, a blue light enveloped Luo Jinxiao before dissipating.
"This is a secret technique; others can no longer discern your true cultivation level," Elder Liu explained before leaving, the door closing quietly behind him.
Luo Jinxiao looked at her hands, initially trembling, then suddenly breaking into a broad smile.
It had been a long time since she felt such exhilaration. One of life's greatest joys was regaining something thought lost.
"Second stage of the Golden Core," she murmured to herself. Silver light gathered in her palm, nearly solidifying, yet it continued to flow endlessly.
Cultivation was divided into several stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Void Dust, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, and Tribulation Transcendence, each with three sub-stages. Progressing became increasingly difficult with each level.
The Tribulation Transcendence stage was the most perilous, often where many cultivators reached their limit or met their demise. Those who surpassed it were rare, nearly reaching a transcendental state. Luo Jinxiao had met only a few such individuals.
Her current stage, the second stage of the Golden Core, was an impressive achievement for someone her age.
The demoness, Qu Weiyin, was at the first stage of Soul Transformation. Two more stages and she would face the Tribulation. Given her tendency towards demonic influence, what would happen then?
