Chapter 1039: Second Apprentice Claims First Place

Breaking through to the Golden Core requires thorough preparation, including supplementary elixirs, treasures to resist the lightning tribulation, and the stream water for washing marrow in the space.

Gu Jin needs to enter the space again; she remembers last time she saw in the Alchemy Room within the space a magic artifact that resists the lightning tribulation.

She didn’t need it last time she broke through to the Golden Core, but now it’s perfect for her disciple to use.

"Thank you, Master, for making this happen!"

Jiang Hanyi kneeled, respectfully kowtowing to Gu Jin.

"Stand up. Breaking through to the Golden Core cultivation will attract a lightning tribulation; some preparations should be made in advance."

Gu Jin saw the few onlookers on either side, their expressions a mix of surprise and shock, with undisguised joy on their faces, and she slightly curved her lips.

She comforted them warmly: "Don’t be too envious or excited. You will all experience this sooner or later. No one should return tonight as Hanyi’s breakthrough to the Golden Core tonight will attract a lightning tribulation, which will cause quite a stir.

Jingyi, find a way to clear out Yuhua Mountain to avoid causing panic among the people. Try to evacuate those who can be evacuated nearby and create some reasons to block everyone’s path to avoid chaos when the time comes."

Gu Jin chose Yuhua Mountain as the site for Jiang Hanyi’s breakthrough for a reason.

Yuhua Mountain is a very mysterious place, where the magnetic field often goes out of control, and during the drought season, it emits rolling thunder sounds, strange and mysterious.

In fact, it’s due to previous cultivators breaking through to the Golden Core, or Nascent Soul, and attracting lightning tribulations.

Every time a grand commotion is stirred, there’s always a perfect reason to quell the public’s inquiries.

The magnetic anomaly of Yuhua Mountain is well-known, and all strange and unscientific occurrences are mostly explained as mythological stories passed down.

This is actually all orchestrated by those with intentions.

"I’ll get it all arranged right away!"

Wanqi Jingyi immediately stood up to call his father.

He still wasn’t the head of the Wanqi Family, so some matters needed his father’s involvement to be more securely handled.

Gu Jin lowered her gaze, addressing her eldest disciple sitting on the sofa: "Yu Shuo, to which layer have you cultivated in ? How is your cultivation level?"

Yu Shuo grinned and said, "I’ve already cultivated to the sixth layer, and my cultivation has reached the middle to late Foundation Establishment, just one step away from the peak."

"Good, you kid are quite composed!"

Receiving praise from Gu Jin, Yu Shuo chuckled foolishly.

He winked playfully at Jiang Hanyi, standing by Gu Jin’s side.

Gu Jin pinched her chin, looking Yu Shuo up and down, nodding from time to time: " has a total of nine layers, you’ve already cultivated to the sixth layer, so your speed is not slow. Tonight, Hanyi’s breakthrough to the Golden Core will attract a lightning tribulation, try to see how many lightning tribulations your cultivation can withstand."

"No problem!" Yu Shuo stood up straight, his voice firm and solemn.

His whole aura quickly shifted to one of coldness and seriousness, just short of saluting.

Gu Jin glanced up at the clock hanging in the hall; it was already half past nine.

Wanqi Jingyi finished the call with his family and walked over, nodding at Gu Jin: "Master, everything’s in place."

"Alright, you all stay with Hanyi for a while, I’m going to prepare some things."

Gu Jin, knowing the place like the back of her hand, walked into the suite bedroom, closed the door, and slipped into the space.

In the hall.

After Gu Jin left, Yu Shuo nudged Jiang Hanyi with his shoulder: "Not bad, Second Junior Brother, among the three of us brothers, who would have thought you’d be the first to break through to the Golden Core."

Jiang Hanyi’s lips curved into a soft smile, scratching his nose in embarrassment: "It’s thanks to the elixir Master once gave me; its effects were powerful."

"You rascal, keep basking in it!"

Having grown up with Jiang Hanyi wearing split-crotch pants, Yu Shuo could easily spot his internal pride.
