Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Half an hour later...

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes. Whoosh, Foundation Establishment Level 8!

He was just one step away from reaching the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

Ye Chen let out a long breath, feeling quite emotional.

This kind of cheat-like cultivation method is so fascinating, it makes me feel like I don't want to work hard anymore.

Half an hour ago, he was at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment; half an hour later, he was at the eighth level...

Isn't this much more enjoyable than grueling, arduous training?!

This is quite disheartening for those who diligently cultivate themselves.

Normally, it would take at least a year and a half to cultivate to this level, but with just one True Essence Pill, it was done in half an hour!

This is the power of spending money!

This feeling of being constantly on top of the curve is indeed captivating, even addictive, which explains why there are so many whales (players who spend money on in-game purchases)...

Ye Chen took a calming pill, which calmed his mind.

Look, look, when your strength improves, you tend to overthink. Why think so much? Just lie down!

Anyway, my cultivation level is skyrocketing, so it doesn't matter if I gain or lose a level.

Ye Chen popped another Qi-stabilizing pill into his mouth!

Since the improvement is too fast, let's consolidate our progress and take a break before moving forward. We need to consolidate for at least half an hour!

Even whales still need to complete the required tasks and spend time allocating basic attribute points...

Judging from the description, the Qi-stabilizing pill is specifically designed for people like him who don't cultivate with a down-to-earth approach.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Qi-stabilizing pill that he was able to take the True Qi pill without even blinking.

This also gave him a lot more confidence to train with cheat codes.

Since such a thing exists, it proves that Ye Chen is not the only one using cheats.

Since this isn't an isolated case, then the issue of using cheat codes to cultivate shouldn't be too serious in essence!

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

Otherwise, how could such a pill exist? To create such a pill, one would need to spend some time and effort researching it. Are alchemists just doing this for fun?

As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market.

A mature market indicates stable demand, and stable demand proves that the path to mastering cultivation is stable!

From another perspective, ordinary people probably haven't even seen elixirs.

Those who can afford to consume elixirs to accelerate their cultivation must have a strong foundation, or at least come from wealthy families.

Would such a family allow its descendants to build castles in the air?

Such families should be very attentive to the upbringing of their children.

If the path of cultivation through cheating is wrong and cannot last, then who would let their descendants follow this path?

In that case, it will be difficult for this path to spread within this circle.

Therefore, working backward, since even an "unusual" family like theirs tacitly accepts the existence of such a thing, it proves that there is indeed a certain degree of rationality in the practice of cheating.

Those who always say that cheating makes cultivation difficult must be sour because they can't cheat themselves!

Yes, that must be it.

If cheating at cultivation were truly bad, then probably no one would keep nagging about it.

If you dislike him and hate him, you'd be hoping he'd quickly go and start training with cheat codes, so who would be kind enough to remind him?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt even more at ease.

Ye Chen thought he was a real genius for thinking of this.

Cultivation, first and foremost, requires convincing yourself and overcoming the mental hurdle. If you can't even fool yourself, what's the point of cultivation?

In fact, there are many kinds of cheat codes; elixirs are one, and so is good fortune.

Pills might be somewhat controllable, but opportunities are something we can't control.

When the opportunity arises, you have no choice but to use cheats, because sometimes using cheats isn't necessarily a voluntary act.

Just like Ah Long, an honest and unassuming person, he cultivates himself so diligently and steadily.

It wasn't like he suddenly broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

Forget about cheating, it was like riding an elevator, even faster than Ye Chen...

He managed to encounter such good fortune as dragon blood beads and dragon scales; it's no wonder his foundation is unstable due to his rapid breakthrough!

The world is so big that anything is possible. Since they were able to encounter such an opportunity, others may also have other forms of opportunities.

Since it's called an opportunity, and ordinary people crave such opportunities, it means that this thing is at least more beneficial than harmful!

So if you've got a cheat code, then so be it. Overthinking it won't help. Adapting to your current level is the most important thing to do after getting a cheat code.

Since the outcome is already unchangeable, we should adapt to it!

Ye Chen saw things very clearly. Since this wasn't an isolated case for him, there was naturally nothing to be ashamed of.

About half an hour later...

Ye Chen opened his eyes again. They didn't know if his cultivation had been consolidated or not, but he felt quite natural, refreshed, and all his meridians were open.

The body doesn't lie; a comfortable state is the best proof. It seems like the condition has been consolidated!

Of course, consolidating one's cultivation level and unleashing one's full potential are two different things.

Even if his cultivation level is consolidated, it doesn't mean he can freely unleash the power of that realm.

I still need to adapt to my current strength for a while longer; in short, I need to practice more.

There's nothing that practice can't solve; if there is, it just means you haven't practiced enough.

Ye Chen got up and stretched, quite satisfied with the two kinds of pills he had taken that evening.

He scanned the courtyard with his divine sense. Da Huang was still breaking through, but its aura was already at the Foundation Establishment stage, so it was probably nearing the end.

Xiao Liu has finished absorbing the inner core, and his strength has finally stabilized at the sixth level of Qi Refining!

Although it's a bit behind, it's still pretty good; it's already surpassed Dongzi and the others...

I wonder what Dongzi would think if he knew that he had been overtaken by a big rooster.

However, Dongzi's strength should also improve after consuming the spiritual milk.

The little black dog has benefited a lot from being around Big Yellow, and its strength has now reached about the second level of Qi Refining, which is not bad.

A moment later, rhubarb's aura surged out wildly, unable to contain its excitement, as if it wanted to release it.

Even the doghouse was overturned by its scent.

Ye Chen's face darkened. "You broke through, fine, but why did you have to turn your own nest upside down?"

Are you going to let Xiao Hei sleep in the yard instead of sleeping yourself?

Ye Chen went downstairs and tapped the dog on the head: "So you broke through, that's it! Calm down, you're acting like you've never seen anything like it before!"

"Hehehe, Master, I've broken through! I've broken through!" Big Yellow jumped around excitedly, just like a husky.

Ye Chen snorted lightly: "I can tell. How does it feel?"

Big Yellow unleashed a triple mid-air kick, followed by a backflip: "I feel terrifyingly strong right now!"

Dahuang was full of confidence.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow: "Oh~, really? So confident, huh? Come on, practice a few moves with me!"

"Hehe, yes, Master!"

......

"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—"

A minute later, Big Yellow collapsed to the ground, its face bruised and swollen, completely losing its joy after the breakthrough and filled with doubt about its existence.

No, no, is its Foundation Establishment level strength fake?

Did I break through a fake Foundation Establishment stage?
