A Firm Heart, He is About to Break Through!

"You're still drinking my wine, yet you speak so indirectly?" Master Zhao said, a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Yun Yubai poured him another cup, chuckling, "You're not a stingy person."

Feeling a bit agitated, Master Zhao downed the strong liquor. The Zhao family's ancestor had once obtained the Fire Cloud Spell, making a name for themselves in the martial world and founding the Flame Sect. He was the closest to reaching the Base Building stage, capable of cultivating to the eighth level. However, most of his descendants could only manage the fifth or sixth levels, so he felt quite proud to have reached the seventh level, believing himself to be exceptionally talented. Little did he know that he had spent half his life still stuck at the first level!

His eyes nearly rolled back in frustration. After downing a second cup, he sighed with a hint of disappointment, "I thought my talent was decent, but it turns out I've never even left the bottom of the well."
