Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

At noon, the group ate something casually.

The rough-and-tumble men weren't that particular; they could make do with some vegetables picked from the backyard and a little flour.

Ye Chen entrusted the task of killing the chicken to Li Wenlong and A Long, and it took the two of them more than half an hour to finish it.

Since Ye had invited them over for dinner, he was generous and brought out ginseng and lingzhi, so they could have their fill of nourishment tonight!

When Dongzi heard that Ye Chen was back, he finished his lunch deliveries and went home.

"Dongzi, why did you go to work as a food deliveryman? How much money do you make?" Ye Chen asked in confusion.

"Hehe, I've only been running this for four days and I've already earned about 1000 yuan. Once I get more familiar with it, I feel like earning 10000 yuan a month won't be a problem!" Dongzi said with a smug look on his face.

"Wow, you're pretty good!" Ye Chen exclaimed sincerely.

"It's great to be able to work out and make money while delivering food!" Dongzi grinned.

Although Dongzi spoke casually, it was obvious that he was a bit darker than before.

"Be careful to protect yourself from UV rays, or you'll look like you've been to Africa after a month of running around!" Ye Chen reminded him.

Ye Chen had also worked as a laborer and knew that it was indeed difficult for ordinary people to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

To be able to earn over 10,000 yuan a month through one's own hard work is truly commendable.

What does it feel like to earn over 10,000 yuan a month? Only those who have experienced it firsthand know.

When you actually achieve a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan, certain "shackles" within you will automatically be released.

No job is superior or inferior. Whether you are a white-collar worker or a food delivery driver, it is a valuable life experience that can help you achieve self-fulfillment!

Some people might laugh at them for running errands, braving wind and rain, never getting a hot meal, having a undignified job, and working year-round without a break.

But the money they earn with their own hands is sweeter, and they are more likely to save money than ordinary people.

Because they know that money doesn't come easily, they are more cautious when it comes to money.

Perhaps in the future, we can make good use of this money to do more meaningful things, and starting a small business is not out of the question.

Many people, however, are sheltered from the wind and rain.

I earn three to five thousand a month, and I can relax all day on weekends.

When Chinese New Year comes, I can't even afford to give my parents a red envelope.

Day after day, year after year, once you turn 35, you're plunged into a midlife crisis...

They are living a "decent" life now, but they are only postponing the hardships of life...

All I can say is that you have to endure some hardship, some people have to endure it earlier, and some people have to endure it later!

If you can learn and grow from the process of enduring hardship, then the process of enduring hardship will be shortened.

So don't be afraid of hardship. If you're not even afraid of hardship, you'll find that life is full of "sweetness"!

Anyway, this is how unscrupulous bosses feed their employees toxic motivational messages...

Whether or not one can break out of this circle depends entirely on personal effort.

Dongzi's family received compensation for their land expropriation and moved into a villa.

The fact that he can now put aside his pride to deliver food shows that he has already succeeded halfway by breaking through his own limitations.

Ye Chen not only didn't look down on him, but actually admired him quite a bit.

How many people are stuck on the issue of saving face, making their lives a complete mess?

Around 4 PM, Qi Lirong came over after finishing her class.

"Master, I'm here, is there anything I can do for you?" Qi Lirong said, full of energy.

Ye Chen glanced at this cheap disciple a few times; he was indeed in much better condition than when they first met.

She seems much more lively and cheerful now, and not as quiet as before.

Ye Chen nodded and introduced himself to everyone.

Ah Long had seen Xiao Qi at the Chinese medicine clinic, so he remained relatively calm.

Dongzi's expression was quite interesting when he heard that Ye Chen had taken on another disciple. Goodness, he's so young and already has two disciples.

"Brother Chen, do you have some kind of apprenticeship fetish?" Dongzi couldn't help but mutter.

Ye Chen ignored him and, after introducing himself to everyone, turned to Qi Lirong: "Come here, let me take your pulse!"

"Okay, Master, I guess there shouldn't be any problems. I feel like I have inexhaustible energy these past few days!" Qi Lirong said with a smile.

However, she still stepped forward to let Ye Chen take her pulse.

When Ye Chen touched her wrist, he indeed felt that her body was no longer cold.

Moreover, judging from Qi Lirong's condition, the problem of her cold constitution has been resolved.

"There's really nothing serious now, just be careful with your diet!" Ye Chen reminded him.

"Okay, thank you, Master!" Qi Lirong was very happy to hear Ye Chen's affirmation.

"Master, there's something else I need to ask you. The energy in my lower abdomen seems to have turned into water droplets. What's going on?"

Qi Lirong asked.

The person asking the question didn't seem to feel anything, but the person listening felt as if they'd been hit over the head with a club.

What the hell?

The spiritual energy liquefied?

Is it true? I've officially become a first-level Qi Refining cultivator?

Qi Lirong has only been cultivating for a week, and she's already at the first level of Qi Refining?

How are the other people supposed to live?!

Ye Chen didn't give her any cultivation resources, so how did she break through?

Ye Chen was full of question marks.

Could it be that the special cold body that the system has chosen is so heaven-defying in cultivation?

He couldn't help but look Qi Lirong up and down again, his gaze lingering on her lower abdomen, somewhat puzzled.

Of course, staring at a girl like that was a bit presumptuous. Qi Lirong felt very uncomfortable under his gaze, and her face turned red to the roots of her ears.

"Ahem, Master, please mind your image. My senior brothers are all here!" Qi Lirong coughed lightly and spoke softly.

"Huh? What?" Ye Chen snapped out of his daze. "Oh, uh-huh!"

Ye Chen casually looked away!

"Master, you haven't answered my question yet!" Qi Lirong pressed on.

Ye Chen thought to himself, "What's the point of answering? If I answer you, I'll be slapping your senior brothers in the face."

You've already surpassed them in just one week of cultivation; they have their pride too, don't they?

But... it's nothing. Faces are meant to be slapped. You won't know how big the gap is between you and others until you've been slapped.

Ye Chen coughed lightly: "The liquefaction of energy within the body can be understood as energy sublimation, which is like leveling up in a game. Do you understand now?"

Qi Lirong looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Master, I don't play games. I didn't have the opportunity to play games when I was a kid!"

Ye Chen's face twitched. There are girls who don't play games?

"Do you read novels?" Ye Chen asked in return.

"Yes, I've read all the classic works, both domestic and international!" Qi Lirong nodded.

"I meant online novels!" Ye Chen said irritably.

Qi Lirong said in a serious tone, "I read online novels too! I read all those mindless stories like 'The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me' or 'I'm Invincible in Palace Intrigue'!"

Ye Chen's face darkened: "You read quite a variety of things, haven't you ever read any cultivation novels?!"

"Oh, I haven't seen it. That kind of stuff is too far-fetched. Only you guys would watch it!" Qi Lirong said weakly.

Ye Chen rubbed his forehead. Oh no! How was he supposed to explain cultivation to a disciple who had never read a cultivation novel?
