Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"Young Master seems to be in trouble. I'll go check on him. If things get serious, inform the Master!"

The nanny holding a firearm spoke in a low voice to another person.

Ye Chen's face twitched. Could he really expect good people to be in a bandit's den? He was so naive!

Since that's the case, Ye Chen has nothing to worry about.

The flying sword in his hand suddenly disappeared, and when it returned a moment later, the mission was already complete!

This is what makes the sword control technique so terrifying.

Ye Chen took three Qi-boosting pills and one invisibility pill.

He casually cast a few fireballs to clean up the scene, and then several more fireballs turned the entire villa into a sea of ​​fire.

The violent explosion shattered the windows of nearby villas.

When the security guards discovered the villa was on fire, the fire was already out of control and too large to be completely extinguished.

People can't even get close, let alone save anyone. There's no need to save anyone; the whole operation has already been completed.

The property management could only call the fire department. By the time the fire was completely extinguished, many things inside had already been burned to ashes, which shows how fierce the fire was!

Ye Chen sent a message to Wenlong and the others to let them know he was safe, and then returned to Longjin Residential Area.

Today's events made him realize the importance of strength even more.

If a person becomes outstanding but lacks the corresponding ability to protect themselves, they are easily manipulated and their life may even be threatened.

If he were an ordinary person, he would truly be at the mercy of others today.

Once someone with this physique targets him, no one can save him.

Even if Xie Laozhou and a group of old men came, they probably couldn't save him.

The Wang family is definitely the most powerful among all the people he has come into contact with so far. Their influence is too wide, and they are a typical example of someone who is both rich and influential.

The Yang family of Shanghai seemed like mere trifles compared to him.

Although Mr. Zhou's Xingcai Food Company is quite large, it is at most a billionaire.

Although Mr. Xie is a real estate tycoon and also owns a technology company, his net worth is somewhat greater than Mr. Zhou's.

However, they were still somewhat outmatched by a behemoth like the Wang family.

The Wang family has hundreds of billions of yuan in liquid assets. Not to mention Xie Lao and Zhou Lao, even the richest man in a region would probably have to bow down in front of the Wang family.

The middle-aged woman had previously said that although Ye Chen had some connections, they weren't enough, which showed that she wasn't exaggerating.

They are indeed no match for the Wang family.

In terms of money, even if Ye Chen had a cheat code his whole life, he might not be able to catch up with the behemoth that is the Wang family.

Therefore, only by relying on force can he have the right to stand tall in front of such a behemoth.

The martial prowess he relied on was his identity as a cultivator.

Before participating in the auction, Ye Chen could have been more fearless and didn't take others seriously.

However, after learning that there were people with mystical abilities in this world, he still had a lingering unease in his heart.

Especially after learning that Master No. 999 was a half-step Foundation Establishment expert, Ye Chen, although still appearing relaxed as before, still felt a strong sense of urgency.

Perhaps it's because he possesses more and more good things, and it gives you the feeling that if you're not strong enough, you won't be able to protect them.

No one knows what the future holds.

No one knows how the world will change in the future.

However, as his reputation grew, his strength had to increase accordingly.

Otherwise, he might not have been able to handle a similar situation so easily today.

If a family of Wang's stature were truly willing to spend a large sum of money, they might even be able to secure assistance from the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).

Therefore, Ye Chen could not afford to be complacent.

What if there were also people from the Xuanmen sect present today? And what if the other party was a Foundation Establishment expert?

Ye Chen may have to use his trump card to protect himself.

Perhaps some things will be leaked, which is not what Ye Chen wants to see.

After leaving Wang Shao's villa, he returned to Longjin Community and began a frenzied training regimen.

He should have enough spirit stones to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage, so he needs to raise his cultivation level first.

It would be tragic if the person died before the spirit stones were fully absorbed.

The TCM clinic should be able to settle down for a while now, and he can take this time to cultivate his skills.

For the next two weeks, Ye Chen stayed at home, spending his time either cultivating or refining his body.

With his current powerful mental strength, going two weeks without sleep is nothing at all.

However, it's something that ordinary people definitely can't imitate.

On this day, Ye Chen successfully broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. In other words, in just two weeks, he absorbed the energy of spirit stones day and night and successfully broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

He achieved three consecutive breakthroughs in the mid-to-late stages of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

This makes it seem like cultivation is very simple.

But that's not actually the case.

First, Ye Chen took three Cleansing Marrow Pills and Heaven-Mending Pills. His physical condition and comprehension ability were already excellent, so his cultivation was twice as effective with half the effort.

This doesn't even include those qi-tonifying pills, mind-calming pills, and disease-curing pills.

Secondly, Ye Chen also underwent body tempering, which further promoted cultivation, naturally making his cultivation speed extremely fast.

Finally, Ye Chen still had some medicinal properties left from the century-old wild ginseng and spirit milk he had previously consumed, and he now had an abundance of spirit stones.

Given an abundance of spiritual energy, as long as Ye Chen is willing to calm down and cultivate, breaking through is only a matter of time.

The legendary cultivation bottleneck? It doesn't exist.

What kind of bottleneck could there be in the mere Qi Refining stage? If there were, then all those medicines he took would have been a waste.

Ye Chen looked inward at the seven drops of liquid spiritual energy within his dantian and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Hehe, I finally surpassed Big Yellow, otherwise I would have really lost face!" Ye Chen muttered to himself.

A week ago, Da Huang had already broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining by using the remaining energy of the giant snake's inner core.

Qi Lirong also broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining a few days ago.

If his master were to return to the old ways, he would truly lose face.

In the past two weeks, he has not only improved his cultivation level, but also made some progress in body tempering.

His bones and muscles are now more than twice as flexible.

He's already a true "rough guy".

Although he still has a handsome appearance, he should be quite resilient.

As for mental strength, Ye Chen didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he also felt that the width of his mental sea was slowly expanding.

However, he hadn't carefully observed the size of his spiritual sea before, and he had been focusing his energy on cultivation during this period, so he hadn't paid much attention.

Intuitively, it has gotten bigger!

Ye Chen guessed that it might be the effect of the faint light emanating from the Bagua Mirror.

Of course, it could also be the residual effects of the spiritual milk from before, which still needs to be verified later.

Another point worth mentioning is that the hidden reward pills from the system have now been changed to a pill called the Spirit Gathering Pill.

Ye Chen almost got confused between the Spirit Enhancement Pill and the Spirit Gathering Pill.

The Spirit Enhancement Pill is a pill that can directly raise one's cultivation level during the Qi Refining stage. However, each person can only take one, so Ye Chen has not taken one yet.

The Spirit Gathering Pill is more like an upgraded version of the Qi-Replenishing Pill, which also replenishes spiritual energy, and Ye Chen has not used it yet.

After all, it's an upgraded version, so the effect should be quite good.
