Bertha's breakthrough and advancement were anticipated.
It wasn't that the Dual Cultivation with Basil Jaak over two nights greatly aided Bertha; rather, from the start, Basil Jaak knew that Bertha was already at the bottleneck of an imminent breakthrough.
So, the Dual Cultivation was the final push, and Basil Jaak was particularly diligent. If Bertha couldn't break through even then, it would be frustratingly unfair.
With Bertha's issue solved, the girl started clamoring to cultivate Basil Jaak's Ice Mantra. Naturally, Basil Jaak gave her the cultivation formula, letting her ponder and learn it herself.
Bertha mainly cultivates Water Attribute spells, and the Ice Mantra suits her taste. The girl, having benefited from Basil Jaak, was naturally overjoyed and became even more diligent in cooking and washing clothes for him.
"Sigh, someone helps with her issues, but who helps with mine?"
In the quiet moments, Basil Jaak began reflecting on life.
