Mo Qingqiu spoke briefly, asking those who had reached the peak of the Void Refining realm to prepare, then turned to Qin Tian and said, "Follow me for a moment."
"Mm-hmm, okay." Qin Tian was a bit bewildered at this moment.
They walked through the fox clan's territory, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, resembling an idyllic paradise.
"You just decided like that? Without seeing my subsequent performance?" Qin Tian asked in surprise.
"Because I believe you can do it, and there's really no need to wait until then. It would seem like a transaction," Mo Qingqiu replied, shaking her head seriously. "To be honest, your talent, your strength, and your aptitude have deeply attracted me."
Qin Tian finally understood. Mo Qingqiu had already approved of him, which was why she had suddenly proposed to become his woman, rather than waiting until he helped her clan birth a few Nine-Tailed Foxes.
However, he had to admit that this feeling of being trusted felt pretty good!
"Do you feel like you've let go of a burden?" Yang Feilong asked.
"Yes, I used to live for my clansmen, always having to maintain a certain demeanor. Now I can live for myself, so how can I not be happy?" Mo Qingqiu chuckled softly.
Yang Feilong nodded.
When people carry too much pressure for too long, letting it go one day brings immense relief.
Of course, this came with a prerequisite: the Nine-Tailed Fox clan had to birth an Integration realm existence!
Breaking through from the peak of the Void Refining realm to the Integration realm had a success rate of less than one in a hundred. Many beings simulated countless times, even attempting tentative integrations. However, both simulated and tentative integrations were different from a true integration.
This was because simulated and tentative integrations were akin to predictive approaches, and it was difficult for them to account for all the situations that might arise in a true integration. If one could consider everything thoroughly, integration might succeed. However, most people failed. Otherwise, with so many cultivators at the peak of the Void Refining realm attempting integration, only a few would succeed.
The Great Elder was under immense pressure. However, their Empress, Mo Qingqiu, had said that it didn't matter if he couldn't break through; there were still over a dozen clansmen who could attempt integration. With that burden lifted, as long as someone was there to cover the worst-case scenario, he wouldn't die.
Under these circumstances, the Great Elder actually succeeded in breaking through to the Integration realm in one go!
Naturally, the Great Elder's successful breakthrough also owed a lot to Yang Feilong. In the process, he had intervened three times to mend the Great Elder's body, giving him three more chances to correct his mistakes. Otherwise, he would have stopped at the first mistake. A failure at that point would have at least severely injured his foundation, making it difficult to attempt integration in the future.
The second incident was even more severe, posing a risk of death. In comparison, the third incident was not as serious as the second.
Of course, without Yang Feilong's timely intervention, he would have suffered a serious injury!
"He actually broke through!"
Seeing the Great Elder emerge from the cultivation chamber with a ruddy complexion, everyone in the Nine-Tailed Fox clan wore excited and joyous smiles.
Over the past few thousand years, apart from Mo Qingqiu's successful breakthrough, others had either died or were severely injured, eventually succumbing to their injuries. After severe injuries, lifespan significantly shortened. In this context, the Great Elder's breakthrough was like a powerful injection of confidence into the hearts of all the Nine-Tailed Fox clansmen!
"Thanks to the son-in-law, otherwise, I would have died long ago!" The Great Elder explained with a rosy complexion. "I encountered three life-threatening crises, and each time he intervened in time, instantly healing my injuries and giving me a chance to correct my mistakes!"
"Three times?"
"That's too amazing!"
The crowd spoke out, showing expressions of astonishment. With three more chances to correct their mistakes, they wouldn't say that everyone could successfully integrate, but it was likely that several of their seventeen or eighteen Integration realm cultivators would be born. Moreover, there would be opportunities to attempt integration in the future!
Even Mo Qingqiu looked at Yang Feilong, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.
While she believed Yang Feilong's medical skills were probably very good, as previous events had shown her that he kept his word, she had not expected his medical skills to be this extraordinary!
Meeting Yang Feilong was truly fortunate for her. Perhaps heaven, seeing the heavy burden of her clan's destiny weighing on her, had taken pity on her.
After the Great Elder came the Second Elder, the Third Elder...
Of course, not everyone was as fortunate as the Great Elder. Some made repeated mistakes before getting very far. Yang Feilong had to intervene and stop them. Given their current integration methods, it was unlikely they would succeed even after ten or twenty attempts. And for every mistake, he had to intervene, which he couldn't manage if they made mistakes at every step.
In the end, out of eighteen existences at the peak of the Void Refining realm, five successfully broke through to the Integration realm!
This success rate was already quite significant.
"This is already very good!" To be honest, Mo Qingqiu was very satisfied. Even after she had broken through to the Integration realm, when she protected her clansmen, she could at most stop them when they first made mistakes. Her help was not significant.
Yang Feilong's assistance, however, was much greater. His help allowed the clansmen to attempt integration without fear. He could instantly resolve one or two mistakes, and even with three or four, he could still assist them in achieving integration.
But if they made too many mistakes, it would be difficult!
It indicated a lack of understanding of the Integration realm!
Once they reached a point where it was beyond saving, even Yang Feilong would be helpless. He wasn't a true god; he was just a doctor.
Yang Feilong spent more time on the five who succeeded than on the thirteen who failed. This was quite normal; the further one progressed, the closer they were to success.
"Six Integration realm cultivators!"
"Tsk, tsk, I never expected our clan to gain so many Integration realm existences all at once!"
"Son-in-law, you are truly amazing!"
"Yes, of the six elders who successfully integrated, one made four mistakes, two made three mistakes, two made two mistakes, and one made one mistake. Without exception, all of them made mistakes!"
"Without him, it means that none of the six elders would have succeeded in their attempt to reach the Integration realm! Only the Seventh Elder, who succeeded on the first try, had some hope!"
At this moment, the cultivators of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan were filled with gratitude towards Yang Feilong. They no longer had any objections to him becoming the man of their Empress. Even those who admired the Empress had to admit at this moment that Yang Feilong, this human, was truly a perfect match for their Empress.
