Gao Jinmei didn’t check whether the number of middle-grade crystals was sufficient; she trusted that Zhao Ninglu wouldn’t cheat on this matter. She waved her hand and collected the Storage Bag, then said, “Princess, we need one more thing: a room that no one will disturb. We will conduct further checks on you in that room, and if your body condition allows, we will directly stimulate your potential there. This is very important. Please ensure that no one will disturb the room; otherwise, it could have serious repercussions for both you and us. It might lead to deviating into demonization, resulting in severe backlash. Should that happen, your potential would never have a second chance to be stimulated.”

Zhao Ninglu nodded solemnly and immediately ordered her subordinates to prepare her usual cultivation chamber. She would undergo further examination by Qi Tian and Gao Jinmei there.

After giving the order, Zhao Ninglu apologized to Xiang Bo, “Younger brother, I’m truly sorry. This banquet was originally intended to entertain you, but I didn’t anticipate such a turn of events. Please forgive me. Once my potential has been stimulated, I will surely apologize and host another feast to express my regret.”

Xiang Bo wasn’t foolish; he clearly understood that if Zhao Ninglu, his sworn sister, successfully stimulated her potential, she might soon advance to become a Gold Core Realm cultivator—a Gold Core Realm cultivator, and moreover, a Princess. The benefits he could gain from her success were incomparable to the present. He quickly raised his cup and said, “Sister Ninglu, don’t worry about me; your stimulation of potential is what truly matters. Here, I wish you success in advance, so that in the near future, you may successfully condense your Gold Core and become the center of attention in our Imperial Family Secret Territory.”

Zhao Ninglu smiled faintly, touched her cup with Xiang Bo’s, and drained it in one gulp, saying, “Alright, I will take your auspicious words to heart and successfully stimulate my potential in one go.”

With that, Zhao Ninglu stood tall and led Qi Tian and Gao Jinmei toward her cultivation chamber. Xiang Bo stood up and called out loudly, “Sister Ninglu, I wish you immediate success!”

Soon, Zhao Ninglu and her company arrived at the chamber.

As the chamber was meant for Zhao Ninglu’s cultivation, it was one of the most securely guarded places in the Princess Manor, protected by numerous Defensive Restrictions and guarded by dozens of guards. Among them, there was even one at the Half-Step Golden Core level—the only one beside Zhao Ninglu herself within her residence.

At the entrance of the chamber, Zhao Ninglu didn’t go in immediately but asked, “Has the chamber been arranged according to my instructions?”

The Half-Step Golden Core named Fu Zhiling had been sent by Zhao Ninglu’s father to take care of her daily needs and ensure her safety. She said, “Princess, I understand your eagerness to advance, but please pay attention to your safety. You brought these two strangers with you and intend to dismiss everyone else, to be alone with them in the chamber. This doesn’t seem safe. Please permit me to enter the chamber with you to guarantee your safety. Rest assured, I can stay silent and will definitely not disturb your cultivation.”

Zhao Ninglu huffed coldly, already displeased with Fu Zhiling, who always cited her father’s authority to restrict and control her, limiting her freedom. She had tolerated it in the past out of respect for her parents, but now, at this critical moment for advancing to the Gold Core Stage and tapping into her potential, Fu Zhiling had the audacity to stand in her way and add to her troubles, which Zhao Ninglu could no longer bear.

Zhao Ninglu turned her head sharply and glared at Fu Zhiling, “You need to be clear about one thing: here, I am the master, and I make the decisions. You have no right to control me. If you think there is an issue with me, you can report it to my father and let him handle me. You should step aside.”

Fu Zhiling’s face changed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head, stepping aside, “Princess, you’ve misunderstood. How could I, a mere protector, dare to control your life? I was merely fulfilling my duty as a subordinate, to remind you. If you feel that I’ve overstepped, then I offer my apologies.”

Zhao Ninglu flicked her sleeve with a snort and ignored Fu Zhiling. She turned back to Qi Tian and Gao Jinmei with a smile, “Master Qi, Master Gao, let’s go in.”

After the three of them entered the chamber, Fu Zhiling gave them a lingering look, then drew a Hundred-Mile Message Butterfly from her bosom and began sending a message to someone.

The cultivation chamber used by Zhao Ninglu was quite spacious, over two hundred square meters, decorated in a simple and elegant style. However, a closer look would reveal that the materials used were of exceptional quality, not something just anyone could afford.

In the center of the chamber, there was a platform raised above the ground, circular in shape, with a jade bed placed on it. Around the bed, dense and complex runes were engraved, and in some spots, spirit stones were embedded—mostly middle-grade, with top-grade spirit stones used in a few key positions. This was where Zhao Ninglu performed her primary cultivation.
