Su Yuqing's cultivation was now the same as Hua Ci's—both were at Eight Dao. Unlike Hua Ci, who had only just advanced, Su Yuqing had been at this level for nearly half a year.
Aside from Lu Ye and the others, she had been among the first batch of cultivators in the starry sky to successfully advance into the Dao. Having accumulated experience at the Great Sun Peak for many years, she had naturally advanced smoothly once the right conditions were in place.
There were quite a few Dao cultivators like her, but in terms of cultivation growth, she had advanced the fastest.
Hua Ci had grown so quickly because she cultivated with the help of the Spirit Jade Vein on Three Realms Island.
As for Su Yuqing, it was because of Shuixian.
Shuixian was her closest friend, so she had taken great care of her and shared quite a few Dao Bones she had obtained through hunting.
Shuixian herself was already at Ninth Layer Dao. Before Old Tree awakened, she had no clue how to break through to Fusion Dao and had little room to improve, so the Dao Bones she hunted were of little use to her. Thus, she gave them all to Su Yuqing.
Now, with Lu Ye's help, Su Yuqing quickly accumulated enough Dao Power to temper her Dao Bone. Yet her first tempering attempt had failed...
It left Su Yuqing deeply upset and disappointed, feeling that she had let down Lu Ye's efforts.
Lu Ye naturally comforted her. For cultivators, advancing from Eight Dao to Nine Dao was a hurdle. Almost no one could succeed in a single tempering; they only advanced after suffering repeated failures.
Unless their luck was exceptionally good.
Having failed once, it was naturally not advisable for her to temper it
