"Congratulations, big brother, your cultivation has advanced further."

At this moment, Nangong Luo had already descended from the sky. Seeing the fluctuations in Jiang Che's aura, she naturally knew what had happened and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che restrained his aura and smiled broadly, "Haha, congratulations to you too, sister. Today, our Tiger King Ridge is blessed with double happiness. I've broken through to the mid-stage of the eighth tier, and you've successfully passed the Thunder Tribulation, officially advancing to the sixth tier."

"Indeed! Double happiness. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to this Nine Illusion Immortal Bell. Otherwise, even if I could endure this Thunder Tribulation, I wouldn't have escaped injury."

Nangong Luo held out the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell and sighed.

This Spirit Treasure of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox is truly useful. During this Thunder Tribulation, the final and most powerful Celestial Thunder was blocked by the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell.

"This Nine Illusion Immortal Bell is indeed impressive, but don't forget, sister, the ownership of this Spirit Treasure hasn't been decided yet. From now on, be vigilant; the White Fox King might also have broken through to the sixth tier..."

Looking at the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell emitting colorful light, Jiang Che couldn't help but remind her.

My dear sister, you must continue to cultivate diligently; you absolutely cannot slack off just because of this breakthrough. Otherwise, the Nine-tailed Fox might surpass you, and you'll be in trouble.

"Don't worry, big brother, let the White Fox King dream of surpassing me!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Luo gripped the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell firmly and said decisively.

The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was defeated by her last time; does it think it can easily make a comeback next time?

No way, she absolutely won't let the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox succeed.

"That's good, hey, where's Little Purple?"

Jiang Che nodded with satisfaction but suddenly noticed that Little Purple, who was supposed to be above his head, was missing, and he said with some surprise.

Just now, his mind was fully focused on breaking through his cultivation and didn't notice when the little guy left. It was only now that he realized.

Little Purple?

Nangong Luo looked around but didn't see any sign of the little creature. Thinking for a moment, she said, "Didn't see him, probably sneaked off somewhere to be lazy again!"

This little one is known for being gluttonous and a bit lazy. Now that he's nowhere to be seen, it's easy to guess what he's up to.

Jiang Che was a bit helpless; he had planned to seize the opportunity during his and Nangong Luo's breakthroughs to teach Little Purple a lesson.

But he hadn't expected the little guy to run off. Could it be that he sensed his intention in advance and decided to escape?

Jiang Che had his reasons for wanting to reprimand Little Purple.

Currently, among Jiang Che's five subordinates, the Willow God is in its own league, the most powerful, while Nangong Luo, Fang Yuan, and the Nine-tailed Fox are roughly on another tier. The remaining Little Purple is on the lowest tier.

Little Purple's cultivation is completely lagging behind the other five subordinates, only reaching the fourth tier at present.

People say pets resemble their owners, but in his case, how did it end up not being so?

He has reached the eighth tier, yet Little Purple is only at a mere fourth tier, half his level, which is truly embarrassing.

Jiang Che doesn't neglect Little Purple because having Little Purple as part of the system grants him a tenfold feedback when its cultivation improves.

To enhance Little Purple's cultivation, Jiang Che spared no effort, even piling up various Spiritual Objects.

He wanted to boost its cultivation through frantic pill consumption, but the result was less than ideal; Little Purple's progress was slow.

This little guy seems inherently averse to cultivation and sneaks off to be lazy whenever no one's watching.

After ingesting Spiritual Objects, instead of refining the Spiritual Power promptly, most of it dissipates.

It's like eating without digestive abilities; what goes in comes out unchanged.

Soon, Jiang Che found Little Purple, snoozing away.

As expected, the little fellow was indeed being lazy.

The little guy had somehow found its way into the Bodhi Cave, sprawled on a pile of Spiritual Objects, snoring loudly with bright drool trickling onto the Spiritual Objects beneath.

"Sleeping so quickly, already fast asleep?"

Jiang Che was speechless; of all things this little creature could learn, it thoroughly mastered the art of napping.

Binding Little Purple to himself wasn't a loss for Jiang Che, but its benefits were uncertain, depending on Jiang Che's perspective.

The downside of binding Little Purple is its cultivation is relatively low; thus, the tenfold feedback from its breakthroughs isn't very helpful to Jiang Che, who's already at the eighth tier.

If Little Purple's cultivation were similar to Nangong Luo and Fang Yuan's, Jiang Che estimated he wouldn't need the tenfold feedback from Nangong Luo. He could rely on the feedback from the other four over half a month to reach the mid-stage of the eighth tier.

Instead of being just shy of the breakthrough, only reaching the early peak.

As for the advantage of binding Little Purple, it naturally lies in its amplification ability, which can reach up to tenfold, ensuring Jiang Che is unbeatable at the same level.

Looking at Little Purple, sleeping soundly like a little pig, unaware of anyone coming, Jiang Che shook his head and walked forward.

In the next moment, Jiang Che summoned a strand of lightning as thick as a hair, which flashed in the cave and struck Little Purple's bottom with a smack.

"Squeak!"

The pain on its bottom jolted Little Purple from his dreams, causing him to jump up and cry out in panic.

He jumped around on the pile of Spiritual Objects, and after a few breaths, Little Purple finally steadied himself and calmed down.

"Squeak, Master, why are you disturbing Little Purple!"

Seeing Jiang Che in front of him, Little Purple immediately understood that his master was teasing him, and he complained, eyes wide with discontent.

"Hmph, disturbing you? Little one, you should be cultivating now, not hiding here sleeping!"

Jiang Che snorted coldly, his expression serious, and reprimanded Little Purple.

"Master, Little Purple is diligently cultivating; I just... couldn't help it and fell asleep."

"Please don't be angry, master. Little Purple promises not to do it next time."

Seeing his master was slightly angry, Little Purple quickly pleaded, even making promises.

"Don't give me that innocent act; I won't buy it. Stand properly."

"Look at yourself, what's your cultivation level now? Tier four! Just tier four; it's an embarrassment to our Tiger King Ridge!"

Jiang Che scolded sternly.

With this little one, you can't be too gentle, or he'll fear nothing.

"... ..."

Scolded by his master, Little Purple knew he was genuinely angry, so he drooped his head and obediently took the scolding.

Fine, fine, it's his fault for having low cultivation; once his master finishes scolding, it should be okay.

"Little Purple, if you don't work harder, I'll kick you out of Tiger King Ridge, and you can fend for yourself."

Seeing Little Purple still looking as if he didn't care, Jiang Che gritted his teeth and issued a more severe threat.

"No, no, master, please don't abandon Little Purple. I'll definitely cultivate very seriously, very seriously..."

Sure enough, upon hearing that his master might abandon him, Little Purple panicked and hurriedly promised.
