Xia Hong wore a faint smile on his face. He remembered clearly that when he broke through to Xianyang Level and emerged last September, Li Xuanling was at a strength of 51 strands. By the end of April, when he went to Qinghepu to handle affairs, her strength had surpassed 53 strands.
In eight months, she had only increased her strength by a little over two strands. It was true that as Li Xuanling progressed, her rate of improvement became slower and slower. If she continued at this cultivation pace, it would probably take her at least three years to raise her strength to 68 strands and break through the Peak of Cold Resistance, just as estimated last September.
But just over the past three months, during her seclusion, Li Xuanling had surprisingly increased her strength by more than two strands. Her cultivation speed had evidently picked up once more.
