Li Changqing sat in a chair, pondering, It should be a few more days before word arrives. I might as well use this time to break through to Second-Turn Dou Zun.
With that, Li Changqing took out a pill-the Venerable Origin Infinity Pill he had refined earlier.
He swallowed the Venerable Origin Infinity Pill, then circulated the Kunpeng Method to absorb its medicinal power, advancing his cultivation toward Second-Turn Dou Zun.
A few days later, the Amethyst Winged Lion King successfully broke through to Dou Zong.
Li Changqing also broke through to Second-Turn Dou Zun. A powerful surge of Dou Qi spread from him throughout the Branch Hall, startling Qin Tian as he attended to his duties.
By now, Qin Tian no longer needed to collect medicinal ingredients for Li Changqing.
The Hall of Souls' mission of inciting conflict and secretly gathering soul bodies was back on the agenda, leaving Qin Tian with plenty of affairs to handle.
He could not help exclaiming in surprise, "Brother Li's cultivation has actually advanced again. I'm truly green with envy."
After marveling for a moment, Qin Tian returned to handling the Hall of Souls' affairs. A full year and a half of neglect had left him with no shortage of work.
Several more days passed. As Li Changqing was consolidating his newly advanced cultivation, a respectful announcement came from outside:
"Lord Li, Hall Master Qin requests your presence. He says word has arrived from headquarters."
Li Changqing slowly rose and went outside, following the Dou Zong who had come to notify him. The burly man the Amethyst Winged Lion King had transformed into followed behind him.
Upon reaching the main hall, Li Changqing paused in surprise. Qin Tian was the only person inside.
After bringing Li Changqing there, the Dou Zong departed.
