But Xiao Qing's treatment was much better than that of the Turtle Ancestor, receiving generous support equivalent to the full efforts of the Medicine King Sect of the Qingding Sect. Occasionally, she would even eat exceedingly rare spirit pills like candy!
Furthermore, she practiced atop the best spiritual veins of Medicine King Mountain. Aaron's other two disciples in the Core Formation stage did not have such an advantageous Cave Mansion...
All these factors combined resulted in Xiao Qing's early advancement by more than a hundred years, which was not unreasonable.
'It seems...I made some miscalculations...but that's normal...after all, there's a realm gap between the late stage of Foundation Building and Core Formation, and the distance is simply immeasurable...'
Seeing Xiao Qing successfully advance, Aaron couldn't help but think of his fifth disciple—Dong Wenying.
