Lachlan pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out the specific reason why he hadn't made a breakthrough.
In the end, he had to blame it on his recent breakthrough to the Core Formation Realm. Although his field of elixir had completely solidified, perhaps he still needed to follow the steps and experience the mid and late stages of Core Formation before truly breaking through?
The idea of reaching for the sky in one step may be unrealistic?
Lachlan couldn't think of any other reasons at this time...
However, regardless of the situation, Lachlan was incredibly delighted and excited. Compared to the temporary breakthrough failure, the awakening of the advanced attribute of "the Rich Soil" held immeasurable significance in the long run.
After coming out of the underground, Lachlan suddenly realized that it was already dawn!
On the other side...
Oswesh City, a certain detention center!
Penelope walked out from inside, looking visibly thinner. At the entrance, Altha and a few people were waiting.
Seeing her granddaughter's haggard appearance, Altha couldn't help but feel distressed. At the same time, he harbored even more resentment towards Lachlan.
It was worth mentioning that although Diego and his son, along with the Great Joy Corporation, were finished, Altha didn't face much trouble.
Although he had some connections with Diego, there was no direct evidence to prove Altha's involvement in the illegal activities of the Great Joy Corporation.
Moreover, as the president of the Kreanford Medicine Association, he held a considerable social status, so the trouble wasn't significant.
In these past few days, Altha used his connections to find people everywhere and managed to secure Penelope's release. After all, she wasn't a member of the Great Joy Corporation. Although she had instigated them to go against Lachlan that day, thanks to Altha's efforts, she had managed to escape any serious consequences.
"Grandpa!"
Upon seeing Altha, Penelope immediately choked up and called out, throwing herself into her grandfather's embrace. Tears of grievance and resentment welled up in her eyes.
She had gone through a lot of hardships in the detention center these past few days. She had never experienced such mistreatment in her life.
"Alright, Penelope, stop crying!"
"Let's go, we'll talk at the hotel!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you take revenge!"
Twenty minutes later, in a hotel room.
Only Altha and Penelope were present. Penelope looked at her grandfather eagerly and asked, "Grandpa, you said earlier that you can help me get revenge? Is that... true?"
"Lachlan has become so powerful that he even killed Mr. Ewing..."
When mentioning Lachlan, besides resentment, fear and regret shimmered in Penelope's eyes. She never expected that the "loser" she had looked down upon during their first meeting would turn out to be such a terrifying existence.
If she could go back, Penelope would never humiliate or underestimate Lachlan again. Instead, she would heed her grandfather's advice and wholeheartedly befriend him. She would even consider actively pursuing him.
However, it was too late now. The enmity between her and Lachlan had already been established!
Facing her granddaughter's fear and doubt, a cold smile appeared on Altha's face.
"Of course, it's true!"
"It seems that Lachlan has also become a cultivator now. But it doesn't matter; no matter how powerful he is, he can never surpass my master."
"Both Diego and I were disciples under a great master. Although we were only registered disciples, we were still considered his students. This time, when Diego was killed by Lachlan, I refuse to believe that our master will turn a blind eye."
