Zhao Ninglu’s cultivation realm, much like her status within the royal family, was neither high nor low, neither awkward nor comfortable. In the eyes of Xiang Bo and even He Yingying, she was the exceedingly noble Princess, revered by all wherever she went, but in reality, she was well aware that she was already of the third generation of the royal family. According to the unwritten rules of the Imperial Family Secret Territory, if her generation did not exhibit any particularly outstanding achievements, her descendants would be stripped of their royal identity and banished from the royal family after being granted a noble title.

If that happened, the cultivation resources her children could obtain would plummet drastically. Without the support of these resources, the likelihood of her offspring achieving any great success in the future would become exceedingly small. In fact, it was not just about her descendants—even for herself, the competition within the royal family was extremely intense. It wasn’t as though one could have whatever cultivation resources they desired. For instance, for her to even meet with the Prince, it was very difficult, let alone to consult him about cultivation matters.

Zhao Ninglu desperately wished to advance to the Gold Core Stage and become a true Gold Core Realm powerhouse. If she managed to do so, her status within the royal family would significantly improve. It wasn’t to say she could be compared to the Princes, but at least she could rise to the level of her father, thereby reaching the middle echelon of the royal family. However, taking this step proved to be extremely difficult. Even her father could hardly help her, not because he wasn’t devoted to her, but because he himself was merely a cultivator at the First Level of the Gold Core Realm. He had advanced to the Gold Core Stage in a rather muddled fashion and had yet to organize a set of experiences worth sharing. How could he possibly help her now?

As for inciting her parents to seek advice from the Prince, that was even more unthinkable. Her father wouldn’t dare to utter a word in front of the Prince, so terrified of him, persuading him to speak well on her behalf was simply an impossibility.

Seeking the Prince’s advice was impossible, getting her father to help was also impossible, so Zhao Ninglu could only carve out her own path, which was one of the reasons she agreed to attend the banquet today. She hoped to find one or more helpers at the banquet who could aid her in traveling further on the path of cultivation. When she personally witnessed Xiang Bo’s cultivation talent, surpassing all others to the extent that it alarmed the Prince, no one could imagine the excitement in her heart at that moment.

Zhao Ninglu originally thought this was the greatest surprise she could encounter today, but unexpectedly, an even bigger surprise awaited her. She had met someone who could help people tap into their own potential. Zhao Ninglu had always believed she was someone with great potential, with many untapped abilities within her, and once she could excavate these abilities, advancing to the Gold Core Stage would be easier than ever.

If someone else claimed they could excavate a person’s potential, even if Zhao Ninglu didn’t doubt it, she would find ways to verify it. However, with Qi Tian and Gao Jinmei, verification had already been accomplished through Xiang Bo. At this moment, what Qi Tian said had a very high level of credibility, and further verification was not necessary.

Zhao Ninglu had been waiting for the opportunity to advance to the Gold Core Stage for countless years, and now the opportunity suddenly appeared before her eyes. She was like a drowning person who had grasped a straw, telling herself she must seize it no matter what and not let it slip away. As for whether there were any hidden dangers, Zhao Ninglu hadn’t failed to consider it, but the path of cultivation was fraught with danger at every turn—it wasn’t possible to miss out on an opportunity so close at hand just because of fear of danger.

Moreover, Zhao Ninglu could not think of any danger Qi Tian and Gao Jinmei could bring to her. She was just a mere princess, seemingly prestigious, but in reality, she possessed very little. Who would target her? Furthermore, Qi Tian and Gao Jinmei were brought by Xiang Bo, and she was well aware of his family background. Logically, Xiang Bo would not bring danger to her.

Zhao Ninglu, with a fervent gaze, stared at Gao Jinmei and eagerly asked, “Master Gao, do I look like someone with potential? Could you perhaps apply the secret technique you used on Xiang Bo to me as well, to help me stimulate my own potential?”

Gao Jinmei didn’t know any secret technique, and she was very aware that the changes in Xiang Bo were not due to any secret technique, but because of the Natural Endowments Reversing Pill. Such a precious pill—she couldn’t even be sure if Qi Tian had a second one. She evaded the question, “Princess, cultivation is a matter of opportunity, and it cannot be rushed. Please be patient. When the time comes, the opportunity will naturally arise.”

Zhao Ninglu realized her own abruptness and hastily lifted her wine cup, saying to Gao Jinmei, “Master Gao, let me offer you another toast. After drinking this cup, I would like to have a detailed discussion with you about my situation, and I would ask you to examine me. I know it’s not simple to ask a master like you to make a move. Name your conditions—I will agree to anything within my capacity. Whatever you need, we can talk about it.”
