"Huh, did I say 'again'?" Ye Chuqi swept a hand through the seawater around her. The sword aura had subsided, the rocks were gradually ceasing to crumble, and the sea slowly settled, returning to its original deep stillness. "That's not the point. So, San San, why are you so sure I can do it? If I can't, am I supposed to dig it out by hand?"
"I haven't misjudged your strength," San San insisted, though without much conviction. "Your cultivation is indeed only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but the strength of your divine sense is at least at the Deity Transformation Stage."
Ye Chuqi said, "What?"
San San had said something like this to her before. Back when she had reached Foundation Establishment, San San had wondered why her divine sense was already as strong as someone at the Golden Core Stage when her cultivation had only just reached Foundation Establishment. Yet hardly any time had passed, and her divine sense had reached the Deity Transformation Stage while her cultivation remained at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
What miraculous tonic had her divine sense taken to level up so quickly? Would it be ready to undergo tribulation and ascend while her cultivation was still stuck at the Foundation Establishment Stage like some pathetic rookie? What would happen then? Would she explode on the spot, or would her divine sense run away from home so they could each pursue their own future?
San San could sense her imagination running wild and immediately squawked, "You just don't believe me!"
"It's precisely because I believe you that I find it so unbelievable!" Ye Chuqi squawked back in imitation. "But even if my divine sense is strong enough, I don't have the spiritual power to match it and grab this ore vein!"
