Luo Shu returned home and Qian Wei told her that Lu Hanmo had already called.
Checking the time, Luo Shu decided to call Lu Hanmo tomorrow. She had already promised to visit the Divine Doctor Family with her father the day after tomorrow, so she would have to finish making the batch of Healing Medicine by tomorrow.
Back in her room, Luo Shu took a bath, then sank her consciousness into the space.
She took out the Spirit Stone she had used before, held it in her hand, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate. As long as she could break through to the Profound Level, she would be able to directly enter the space thereafter and not just with her consciousness.
As streaks of transparent Spiritual Energy entered her body and slowly converged in her dantian, the color of the Spiritual Energy turned into a pale white.
When Luo Shu felt the time was right, she began to gather her Inner Qi to merge with that Spiritual Energy and started to assail the barrier leading to the Profound Level.
Once, twice, countless times she assailed the barrier, and yet it stood firm like a fortress, unshaken.
Drip! A bead of sweat fell from Luo Shu’s brow, hitting the ground and blossoming into a delicate spray of water. Before the droplet could fade, another fell...
Luo Shu gradually felt exhausted. She could even hear her own breathing becoming hurried, but she didn’t want to give up just then, continuing to release her Inner Qi to constantly strike at that thick barrier.
Just as she was about to succumb, that fine, nearly undetectable trace of gas suddenly began to gather more and more, like a small river converging into a lake, and the lake slowly amassing into a vast sea...
A "boom!" exploded in Luo Shu’s mind.
Her head ached for a moment, and then everything went black as she fainted.
Feeling a cool liquid trickle into her mouth, Luo Shu slowly opened her eyes, meeting Luo Qianyu’s gentle and bright peach-like eyes.
"Dad..." Luo Shu murmured in a daze, feeling as if she had returned to a previous life in that instant.
Surprise flashed in Luo Qianyu’s eyes. He flipped his hand and put away the cup containing the Spiritual Spring, "How do you feel?" Had she just called him ’dad’?
"Much better, what time is it now?" Luo Shu checked her internal condition and a smile of surprise flashed across her face.
"It’s almost noon, congratulations on your successful breakthrough," Luo Qianyu said with a smile, gently tousling Luo Shu’s messy hair. It’s no surprise, coming from their Divine Doctor Family, that she had advanced to the Mysterious Level First Layer in such a short time. The Spirit Stone played a part, but talent was also extremely important.
"I didn’t expect to actually succeed either," Luo Shu laughed. Her strength had increased, giving her more security for her upcoming journey to MD country.
"I will step out now, you should get up," Luo Qianyu said as he tousled her hair again and strode out of the room. He was growing more and more fond of this little sister of his. He believed their father and his second uncle would like her too—if they knew they had a daughter, he wondered how happy they would be.
Luo Shu smiled, got up from the bed, and upon remembering she hadn’t yet called Lu Hanmo, she walked over to the phone and dialed out.
Xiao Li picked up the call and, upon hearing it was Luo Shu, cheerfully greeted her as "Sister-in-Law!" and told her to wait for a moment before going out to call Lu Hanmo.
Luo Shu smiled and set down the phone, then went into the bathroom to wait for Lu Hanmo’s call.
Just after she finished brushing her teeth, the phone rang. Luo Shu wiped the foam from her mouth with a towel, stepped out of the bathroom, and picked up the receiver. Unless she was not home, no one else in the house would normally answer the phone.
"Shushu!" Lu Hanmo’s unique, tender voice came through the phone.
"Hanmo, I’m going to the Divine Doctor Family with dad tomorrow. Also, I’ve broken through to the Profound Level," Luo Shu eagerly shared the good news with Lu Hanmo, hoping he would share in her joy.
"That’s great! I’ve broken through as well," Lu Hanmo laughed. He hadn’t expected the Spirit Stone to be so effective, that with just half used, he had already made a breakthrough.
"That’s wonderful!" Luo Shu exclaimed, almost jumping with happiness. Hearing his advance made her feel even more thrilled than her own.
"Silly girl," Lu Hanmo said fondly.
"You’re the silly one!" Luo Shu made a face at the phone, her expression filled with a radiant smile.
Right as Lu Hanmo was about to speak, an urgent bell rang out from outside, "Shushu, I have something urgent to deal with, so I won’t talk more. I’ll call you again tonight."
After hanging up, Lu Hanmo rushed out.
"Instructor, the female spy from MD country has escaped and has killed two of our men." A subordinate promptly reported the situation to Lu Hanmo upon his arrival.
Lu Hanmo narrowed his eyes, sharp as an eagle, and an icy light flickered through them as he strode towards the prison where the criminals were held.
Mo Shaoze was inspecting the scene, and when he saw Lu Hanmo approaching, he stopped and turned to him, "The opponent is very professional, all traces have already been erased by her."
