Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"Master, what's wrong?" Qi Lirong blinked her big eyes and looked at Ye Chen.

Li Wenlong said with his hands behind his back, "I said Junior Sister, what kind of rubbish books are you reading? You haven't even read any cultivation novels? You're hopeless! You need to go back and catch up!"

"By the way, Master, what does Junior Sister's question have to do with cultivation novels? Why does the energy in her body liquefy?" Li Wenlong was also puzzled.

Ah Long, standing to the side, smiled without saying a word. He and Dongzi were present when Ye Chen explained things to his second uncle, so he naturally knew.

He and Dongzi were stunned at the time, and now he wanted to see what kind of expressions Lao Li and Xiao Qi would have after they found out about cultivation.

Ye Chen glanced at Ah Long: "What are you trying to hide your laughter for? Do you know why you're the one explaining? You explain to Xiao Qi why spiritual energy liquefies!"

Ah Long paused for a moment, then said, "...Uh, hehehe, Brother Ye, I...I don't know either!"

Ye Chen looked at the group and said, "Please sit down. Today I'll give you a fresh overview of the science!"

After everyone was seated, Ye Chen began to explain the matter of spiritual energy.

"The liquefaction of spiritual energy marks the formal entry into the first level of Qi Refining. A single drop of liquid spiritual energy represents the first level of Qi Refining, and so on."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he quietly looked at everyone.

Dongzi and Along nodded thoughtfully. They had received most of the information before, so they were more interested in the classification system.

When they realized that Xiao Qi had already liquefied spiritual energy, they became a little restless. In other words, Xiao Qi was already a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining.

They've been diligently cultivating every day, yet there's still no sign of liquefaction. It's truly disheartening to compare oneself to others; it's incredibly discouraging.

They've practically perfected their skills to the point of being like dogs.

No wonder Ye Chen wanted to take her as his disciple, she's just too monstrous!

Li Wenlong and Qi Lirong were stunned for a long time upon receiving this unconventional information.

Spiritual energy? Cultivation? First level of Qi refinement?

Each keyword stimulated their brains.

Qi Lirong had never read any cultivation novels and had little knowledge of this subject. Since Ye Chen said so, it must be true.

After all, legends of becoming an immortal have been told countless times since ancient times, and there are also rumors in the world.

For her now, it's like a legend coming true.

Unwittingly, she also embarked on the path of cultivation.

She didn't have lofty ambitions, nor did she have much pursuit of immortality; she only hoped to be free from the problem of her cold constitution.

Therefore, apart from a strong sense of unreality and some excitement about new things, Qi Lirong had no other feelings.

At most, they might exclaim that their own master is the best!

As a male, Li Wenlong was naturally interested in fantasy and cultivation novels, and he had read quite a few.

In his generation, martial arts TV dramas were a part of their childhood.

It's fair to say that everyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s had a martial arts dream.

Now that he's middle-aged, someone is telling him that what he's been practicing is a cultivation method...

This world actually allows for cultivation! They are breathing in spiritual energy; they have embarked on the path of cultivation!

Such an intense stimulation would probably require someone with a weaker heart to take nitroglycerin.

"Master, Master, is what you said true? We've embarked on the path of cultivation?" Li Wenlong murmured.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "You've been practicing breathing exercises for so long, and your body has undergone so many changes. Haven't you thought about this at all?"

"Yes, I should have thought of this earlier, but it's too unbelievable, I..." Li Wenlong's body trembled slightly.

He was excited; his blood was boiling.

"Hehe, once you've adapted to this cultivation life, I'll teach you some other things!" Ye Chen said mysteriously.

"Other things? Brother Chen, could it be the kind of magic that lets you fly and disappear?" Dongzi asked excitedly and longingly.

Not to mention Dongzi, everyone present lit up when they heard about flying and teleporting.

Even Qi Lirong, a girl who had no interest in cultivating immortality, felt a longing for it.

"The scenery in the sky must be amazing. If I could really fly and travel through the earth, I would fly all over the country!" Qi Lirong said longingly.

Ye Chen coughed lightly: "Flying too high makes you prone to oxygen deprivation! Flying too low makes you look like a monkey, and you might even face a counterattack from the air defense system!"

Ye Chen's words immediately dampened everyone's spirits.

"Don't be so ambitious. You're trying to fly before you can even walk. What are you thinking? Even if you could fly, how far can your meager spiritual energy support you?"

"Ah, it's not flying or disappearing into the earth? Is it some kind of spiritual energy application technique?" Dongzi continued to ask.

Ye Chen nodded: "Yes, it's about the application of spiritual energy techniques. If you only cultivate spiritual energy but don't know how to use it flexibly, you're just like a brute with brute strength but no skills."

"Master, can you show us what you've got?" Qi Lirong blinked her big eyes, looking like a little fangirl.

Ye Chen felt his presence greatly satisfied at this moment, and he raised his chin: "Of course, no problem, but don't be too surprised. You must keep a calm mind, understand!"

As Ye Chen spoke, he stretched out his palm, and a fireball suddenly appeared in his hand!

"boom--"

In his excitement, Dongzi lost his balance and fell to the ground along with the chair!

The room fell silent once again, save for the occasional gasp of breath.

After a long while, Qi Lirong exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Master, do you know magic? That's so cool!"

Ye Chen corrected her, saying, "In our China, we call it magic!"

"So handsome! Master, you're so cool!" Qi Lirong's admiration for Ye Chen was like a surging river.

Ye Chen was naturally very happy to be admired so much by his own disciple.

After all, he's a young man, not an old man, and he has vanity too. Being admired makes him a little proud.

Dongzi scrambled to his feet, utterly excited: "Holy crap, Brother Chen, you're serious?! This, this, this is a fireball spell! My god!"

Ah Long and Wen Long's eyes lit up, speechless with shock.

For Li Wenlong, today's shock was too great.

This completely overturned his understanding!

Cultivation and magic again? Is this still the world he knows? Did he transmigrate?

Fortunately, my body has become very stable after this period of training.

It's been two hours already, so this level of stimulation is barely tolerable!

"Brother Chen, teach me quickly, I want to learn!" Dongzi said excitedly.

Ye Chen glanced at him sideways: "Want to learn? Learn my ass! Don't you know your own strength level? You haven't even reached the first level of Qi Refining, yet you want to learn magic? What are you thinking? This is called Five Elements Magic, you need at least the third level of Qi Refining to learn it. Go and cultivate properly!"

Ye Chen once again poured cold water on everyone's enthusiasm.

Give it a jolt, then pour cold water on it.

Let's give it another shock, then pour some cold water on it!
