In addition, Lu You, who sat next to Liu Mansha, had already reached refined Qi Level 7 in her cultivation.
Breaking through small realms continuously in just two short years was incredibly fast, even if breakthroughs in the Qi refining stage were relatively easier. This rapid ascent to refined Qi Level 7 proved that Liu Mansha had spared no effort in nurturing Lu You. Furthermore, after Lu You's baptism in the seven Star Pavilion, her massively improved talent immensely aided her cultivation.
As for Chen Nanfeng, who sat in the seat of honor, his cultivation remained at the early stage of the original level, exactly as Xia Ruofei expected.
Once a cultivator reached the original infant stage, every subsequent breakthrough became exceedingly difficult and consumed an incalculable amount of cultivation resources. Someone like Xia Ruofei, who never worried about resource depletion and exclusively used the highest tier of cultivation resources, was probably one of a kind.
