Li Moyun immediately turned toward the door and set down his teacup.
At his level, the slightest movement was enough to tell him who was coming.
After he waited a moment, someone knocked softly on the door.
Qin An's voice came from outside. "Is Lord Li here? I have something to discuss with you."
Li Moyun collected himself and nodded. "I'm here. Come in."
The door opened, and Qin An strode in and sat across from Li Moyun.
Li Moyun froze as if struck by lightning. For a long moment, he could only stare. Qin An frowned. "Why are you looking at me like that, Lord Li?"
Li Moyun finally came to his senses. He gave a start and blurted out, "You've reached Essence Transformation Great Completion?"
Disbelief filled his voice.
He could sense that Qin An had indeed reached Essence Transformation Great Completion.
But how much time had passed?
Only a few months. Qin An had gone from Essence Transformation Initial Proficiency straight past Minor Completion to Great Completion.
That rate of advancement was absurd.
What was more, the aura Qin An gave off was far stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator at Essence Transformation Great Completion.
Even someone at Essence Transformation Perfection had never made Li Moyun feel such pressure.
Just how did Qin An cultivate?
Even if he searched a thousand years of the Skycloud Circuit's history, he doubted he would find anyone who could compare with Qin An.
Qin An nodded slightly. "I was lucky enough to advance, that's all. It wasn't particularly fast."
He meant it.
If he had thrown caution aside and focused entirely on advancing the Scholar Profession, without worrying about those Peerless Foundations, he would probably have reached the next level long ago.
But he needed more than a higher realm.
