Chapter 1072: Chapter 1072: Lok Gui’s Cultivation Level
Lok Gui bent down for quite a few seconds.
Just as Gu Zhiqi wondered if he was going to stay that way, he finally spoke, "Miss Gu, thank you!"
Gu Zhiqi stood still, without speaking.
Lok Gui finally calmed down a bit, straightened up, looked at Gu Zhiqi, and said, "Not only did my cultivation return, but it’s higher than before. So, thank you, Miss Gu!"
"Thank you for helping me regain my cultivation and for letting me advance."
Gu Zhiqi was silent for a moment and said, "Your cultivation being higher is due to your own effort. Over the years, your cultivation didn’t increase because it was transferred to Wu Yi."
She merely helped him reclaim his cultivation, not improve it.
Lok Gui shook his head, stubbornly said, "No, without you, my alchemy level wouldn’t have increased so much suddenly."
Before Gu Zhiqi could respond, Lok Gui added, "The technique you taught us last time when refining the antidote was very useful."
Last time, when Gu Zhiqi was refining the antidote, she recruited twelve assistants, and Lok Gui was the number one assistant.
After refining, the other assistants who helped Gu Zhiqi all subsequently made breakthroughs in their alchemy levels.
But only Lok Gui, though he felt he had a profound understanding of the technique, couldn’t refine a batch of elixir.
Lok Gui felt quite disappointed, thinking he would always be like this in the future.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiyue approached him and told him about his cultivation being stolen.
It was then that Lok Gui vaguely guessed the reason for his cultivation regression and inability to advance.
Sure enough, after reclaiming his cultivation, he found his Ancient Martial Arts had already reached the middle stage of the third realm.
To know, before his cultivation was taken, his Ancient Martial Arts was only at the third-order beginner.
Seeing that his Ancient Martial Arts cultivation returned, Lok Gui immediately went to try refining an elixir afterward.
Then, he discovered that his alchemy level had already reached the middle stage of the third order.
Knowing that before his cultivation was taken, his alchemy level was just at the second-order primary stage, yet now it suddenly rose to the middle stage of the third order.
In five years, Ancient Martial Arts could possibly advance from third-order beginner to middle stage of the third realm. Alchemy could possibly advance from second-order primary stage to middle-level of the second-order, even later stage, but not to the middle stage of the third order.
To say his growth in alchemy level had nothing to do with Gu Zhiqi’s contribution, Lok Gui wouldn’t believe it at all.
Gu Zhiqi listened to Lok Gui’s words, understood, and guessed he was one of the twelve assistants from before.
Looking at Lok Gui, she said, "Practice that technique well. With your talent, becoming a more impressive alchemist is just a matter of time."
Lok Gui listened, greatly encouraged, and nodded heavily at Gu Zhiqi.
As they spoke, the three of them had already reached the entrance of the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Miss Gu!" Just as they reached the entrance, they heard three different voices.
Gu Zhiqi and the others turned their gaze towards the three who spoke and found it was Lu Yuanjiang, Ruan Hao, and Li Chunhua.
Upon seeing Gu Zhiqi looking at them, Lu Yuanjiang and the other two immediately cupped their hands towards her.
Gu Zhiqi nodded at the three.
Seeing Lu Yuanjiang hobbling over, Lok Gui immediately went to his side to support him, "Dad, didn’t I tell you to rest well at home? Why did you come out again?"
Lu Yuanjiang pushed Lok Gui away with some disgust, "I don’t need you, I have Xiao Ruan to support me."
Gu Zhiqi listened to the conversation between the two, raised her eyebrows gently.
So they were father and son?
No wonder they looked somewhat alike.
After pushing Lok Gui away, Lu Yuanjiang looked at Gu Zhiqi, smiled kindly, and said, "Upon hearing Miss Gu was at the Law Enforcement Hall, the three of us hurried over. Luckily we made it in time, if we were any later we might have missed you."
