Meanwhile, under Tantai Feiyue's direction, the Xu Family finally completed the initial development of its Talisman Dao talent pipeline. Two years ago, four low-grade Talisman Masters had emerged at once.
The Xu Family acknowledged this achievement and immediately decided to designate both the Pill Dao and Talisman Dao as its core arts, developing them together.
At this point, the Xu Family provided Tantai Feiyue with exceptionally generous resources, including a continuous supply of superior-grade Premium Pills, solely to bind her indefinitely to the Xu Family's warship.
The Xu Family High Council's thinking was simple: their old elder brother, the former Yan, would just have to suffer a little.
Clearly, Lin Changheng's actions last time had frightened them into doing this.
They still had not recovered.
With resources of this magnitude supporting her, Tantai Feiyue's advancement to the ninth layer of Qi Refining was merely a matter of time.
Whether she could reach Foundation Establishment, however, was not determined by these resources.
Strategic resources such as Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment Spirit Treasures still could not fall into her hands.
Simply because her surname was not Xu.
The reasoning was straightforward. However capable a minister might be, a minister remained a minister. Exceptional intelligence and competence would not make someone a member of the imperial family, entitled to reach for the throne.
In truth, Tantai Feiyue also wanted to tell Lin Changheng that she had now truly gained a firm foothold in the Xu Family and enjoyed an exceptional standing.
He need not worry about her while he was away.
Over the next two years, they continued exchanging one letter a year.
It was not that they were too busy to send more, but that the Immortal Relay Station was simply too slow. All that time was spent in transit.
