Chapter 220 - Breakthrough!
🕑 Added 2025-01-16 07:00:06 +0000 UTCWhen Anda first heard her new title, she was quite upset by it.
Princess of Alchemy Formulas? Where's the panda in my title? Shouldn't it be the Panda of Alchemy Formulas?
However, a few moments later, Anda was horrified by the fact that she wanted to be called a panda. This was something that would never have happened in the past.
Oh no, did a panda ghost actually possess me? Why would I want to be called a panda? This must be Leyvi's fault! He made people call me Alchemist Panda and then convinced me to wear panda-themed outfits. He keeps calling me an evil mastermind, but he is the evil mastermind all along! He slowly brainwashed me to accept my identity as a panda. I must confront him after he comes out!
In that event, Anda had obtained a total of 134 alchemy formulas ranging from tier-2 to tier-4. Most of the new alchemy formulas were tier-2 and tier-3, with only eleven tier-4 in the mix. Unfortunately, nobody had tried to make a tier-5 alchemy formula, so she couldn't get her hand on any.
Anda had made sure that the right to use the alchemy formulas was given to the Leyan Family instead of herself. This means, as long as the Leyan Family exists, they are allowed to use them as long as they want.
Dorin had long joined the Leyan Family as an alchemist, so she was naturally allowed access to all the new alchemy formulas.
Anda had been using Dorin as her panda worker to make all the tier-3 and below alchemy products while she focused on tier-4.
Fast forward to now, Dorin has also become a popular figure in Bara City due to her ability as an Alchemist Master. Everyone knew that most of the tier-3 alchemy products on the market right now were made by her.
Funnily enough, even though she still acted arrogantly toward people every time she went outside, not many people actually disliked her. This caused her to question reality. Am I not arrogant enough? She stared at her reflection in a shop window one day, wondering if she needed to perfect her disdainful glare.
What she didn't realize was that previously, she used her family name to act arrogantly. But since she was disowned, she used her own identity as an Alchemist Master to act arrogantly. So, the reactions to it weren't the same at all.
To the citizens, she was allowed to be arrogant because of her ability and achievements.
In the Leyan Family right now, there was a lady who had been quite depressed lately. That lady was Selene Goldstone.
Among all the ladies in the household, she was the only one who seemed to be without a purpose. This realization slowly turned her from a cheerful lady to a somewhat dispirited one.
As time passed, she began to notice that when they weren't hanging out and having fun together, the ladies always had things to do.
For example,
Ava had become Layla's personal bodyguard and the person in charge of interrogating criminals. She also sometimes joined the Bara Corps to be an ambusher in their operations.
Nala had become a famous undergarment seamstress in Bara City. All the ladies in Bara City loved her asset-emphasizing designs, making them appear sexier in her undergarments.
Sawi, although still unknown in Bara City, was slowly becoming a great inventress. She recently made a fighting puppet that could be controlled by spiritual sense. Although it was still a prototype and the puppet couldn't fight properly, Selene thought it had a lot of potential.
As for Valenia, she had just advanced to the Core Formation realm three months ago. She sensed that Valenia was far stronger than the average Core Formation cultivators she frequently saw in the Goldstone Family.
When she sparred with Slashy, who had advanced to a high-level demonic beast, the protective formation in the basement training room was actually damaged by them. Since then, they weren't allowed to spar in the mansion again until the formation could be upgraded.
Sawi estimated that she might need another twenty years before she could reach the level where she could upgrade the formation. For now, she could only repair it to its usual function. After all, the legacy of her ancestor was too massive and broad.
As for the other ladies, Layla was the city lord, managing the city, and Lilian cultivated many plant ingredients for Anda and Tasya. Lastly, the four maids—Hana, Sayu, Nikita, and Fifi—were content with just being the maids of the Leyan Family, helping around in the mansion.
Only she, Selene Goldstone, had nothing going on right now.
She had a lot of interest in taming insect-type demonic beasts, but what could that actually do? Her interest couldn't contribute anything to the family.
Because of this disturbance in her mind, she couldn't even cultivate properly. She had been stuck at the peak of the Foundation Building realm for a few years already.
She started to feel that she didn't belong in a place full of amazing women.
Just as she was looking at the outside scenery from the balcony of her room, a terrifying aura erupted from inside the mansion, specifically from the direction of Leyvi's room.
"He's breaking through now? But...what is this rampaging aura? How is this the aura of someone breaking through to the Core Formation realm?" Selene felt shocked.
Throughout her life, she had been around many people breaking through to the Core Formation realm, and outside the Leyan Family, the most recent was her brother, Victor Goldstone.
However, none of them was ever this intense!
When she spread her spiritual sense, she could feel the spiritual energy in the air seeming to waver, like a faint breeze stirring invisible threads. A subtle vibration ran through the atmosphere, gentle but noticeable, as if the energy itself was restless, shifting in place.
The formation in the room should have isolated the intense energy, but if she could still feel the spiritual energy trembling from her room, just how intense was it in Leyvi's room?

Not long before Leyvi's breakthrough started.
"Wow! I feel like I just wasted a Foundation Solidifying Pill. It only expelled, like, five farts' worth of impurities. Are there really not that many impurities in my Qi lake?" Leyvi was impressed.
He remembered when he and Anda were watching Lilian's breakthrough nearly eight years ago. Lilian took around half an hour to expel her impurities. On the other hand, he only took five minutes.
"Hahaha! That just shows how great my life is right now. I've got the best resources to cultivate and great women around me! Without them, I wouldn't have been able to reach this point so easily."
"I am very grateful," Leyvi said with a smile.
Thumm...
Suddenly, Leyvi felt a familiar sensation he had experienced years ago after Anda received enlightenment. He quickly shut his eyes to immerse himself in the sensation.
He couldn't describe it properly at that time because the harsh environment overwhelmed the sensation. But now, in a calm place, he could fully feel it.
A warm, indescribable sensation coursed through him, resonating deep within his consciousness. He could feel it. He felt his spiritual sense improving—in distance and depth.
The world around him grew more vivid, as if the veil separating the ordinary from the extraordinary had become thinner. Colors were richer, the flow of Qi more tangible, and even the silence seemed to hum with a subtle melody.
Yet there was something beyond his grasp, something just out of reach, as though he was glimpsing a truth too vast to comprehend.
He felt things becoming clearer, yet he couldn't grasp exactly what was revealing itself—it was as if the world itself was whispering secrets he wasn't ready to hear.
Leyvi opened his eyes again after a while.
"What is this feeling, actually? Why am I experiencing this?" he muttered.
Leyvi clearly felt that his spiritual sense had expanded again, but he wasn't sure by how much. So, he immediately spread it. The invisible force swept through the room, brushing past objects uninterrupted.
"What? My spiritual sense can pass through the wall now?" Leyvi's eyes widened in shock. The astonishment was clear on his face.
Spiritual sense worked quite similarly to eyesight in that it couldn't see past an obstruction directly. However, the user could control and navigate their spiritual sense through small openings or holes to bypass the obstruction and see things on the other side, achieving a similar effect of seeing through the walls.
Leyvi was shocked because he didn't have to do any of that navigation anymore! His spiritual sense could see through the wall now. The solid surface no longer obstructed his spiritual vision; instead, it felt as if he was peering through a mist that dissolved at his will.
After he had reached the late stage last time, his spiritual sense had been upgraded to reach 20 kilometers. This time, his spiritual sense expanded again by another 10 kilometers, making his spiritual sense reach 30 kilometers far!
He couldn't help but feel that this range was too absurd. Who could ambush him now?
Due to the new "see-through" upgrade, he could now see what everyone in the mansion was doing.
"Uhh..." Leyvi quickly recalled his spiritual sense.
He needed to be careful with his spiritual sense in the future. He didn't want to violate anyone's privacy.
He had just seen Nala in the middle of using the holy rod artifact to satisfy her urge—or maybe she was training to defeat him in their next night battle campaign.
Leyvi felt that he should finish his breakthrough as soon as possible and help the ladies satisfy their needs. It had been over three years, after all.
Leyvi shut his eyes and adjusted himself again, ready to start his breakthrough.
As Leyvi started his breakthrough, the massive Qi lake in his dantian began to come together, forming a massive sphere.
Leyvi quickly frowned as he felt the "weight" of his Qi. It was just too massive. The pressure bore down on him like a mountain, demanding all his focus.
"Compress!" Leyvi shouted in his mind.
BOOM!!
A terrifying aura instantly erupted in the room!
