Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

In the afternoon, Xiao Qi continued to cultivate in the tree hole, consolidating his cultivation after the breakthrough.

Ye Chen glanced at the last small portion of spiritual milk and ultimately gave it to Xiao Qi.

"Try this too, and see if it helps you reach the peak of Qi Refining!"

"Huh? Oh!" Xiao Qi nodded silently.

Ye Chen originally wanted to give the remaining portion to Lu Ye, but then he thought that Lu Ye would at most reach the sixth level of Qi Refining after his cultivation.

Even if it improves further, it's unlikely to bring about a qualitative change; at most, it can break through one more level to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining!

There is no qualitative change between the seventh and sixth levels of Qi Refining.

Giving him a Marrow Cleansing Pill directly might be more useful for him.

So, let's just give the Spirit Milk to Xiao Qi!

As Xiao Liang said, resources should be concentrated on the right people, and we should build up a few top-notch combatants first!

A person at the seventh level of Qi Refining might be considered good for their current team, but it's still not quite enough.

However, if there were one more person at the ninth level of Qi Refining, who could establish their foundation at any time, that would be a different story.

Ye Chen currently has no shortage of foundation-building materials. Once he reaches the ninth level of Qi Refining, he will have a high probability of helping the other party achieve foundation-building.

In that case, their team would have another Foundation Establishment expert in the short term.

The strategic role of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is far greater than that of several Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivators.

Of course, perhaps Ye Chen also had some personal motives involved!

How can any human being be without selfishness? Everyone has some degree of selfishness.

Especially since he had such a devoted disciple.

Even cement sealant will crack!

Time passed by, and it was uncertain whether Xiao Qi could make any further progress.

With nothing else to do, Ye Chen took out the piece of ice jade and started playing with it.

This was the foundation-building item he had prepared for Xiao Qi. Of course, Ye Chen wasn't quite sure if the contents were as he had guessed.

With the appearance of the ice jade, the temperature around us seemed to drop slightly.

Ye Chen played with it for a moment, and just as he was about to put it away, he was slightly taken aback.

Hmm~?

He felt a slight pull on his hand, a force that came from the ice jade in his hand.

Although this pulling force is very small, ordinary people cannot perceive it at all.

But Ye Chen sensed it keenly.

He traced the direction of the pulling force and discovered that it was heading towards Xiao Qi, who was cultivating inside the tree hollow.

Interesting, Xiao Qi's cultivation actually managed to draw upon the energy of this ice jade.

It seems this piece of ice jade really is useful to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi possessed the rare Xuanming Physique, a physique even the sect recognized.

In terms of attributes, the energy of this ice jade is somewhat similar to her cold constitution.

Therefore, it is understandable that she could invisibly draw upon the surrounding energy of the same origin during her cultivation.

However, now is not the time for Xiao Qi to absorb this ice jade energy.

Xiao Qi has not yet fully absorbed the energy from the refined spirit milk, and has not even reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. The time is not yet ripe.

Time passed by, and after more than an hour, Xiao Qi successfully refined the spiritual milk, but unfortunately, he did not break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This thing also has a so-called drug resistance.

Many things have the most obvious effect the first time you take them, but the effect will be greatly reduced the second or third time.

Ye Chen glanced at Xiao Qi, who was cultivating, but wasn't too surprised.

No breakthroughs are the norm; breakthroughs are never easy.

Although he didn't break through, Xiao Qi's aura was much stronger than before, and the day when he broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining wouldn't be too far away.

Xiao Qi stopped cultivating, and said somewhat dejectedly, "Master, I'm still only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, I haven't broken through yet, I'm still a little short!"

Ye Chen laughed, "It's normal not to break through. Cultivation isn't that easy. You think you can break through two realms in one day? How are others supposed to compete?"

"Alright, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Cultivation is about taking it one step at a time, slowly but surely. Maybe one day you'll achieve your goal naturally!"

Ye Chen comforted him.

Ye Chen's idea of ​​making someone get fat overnight was not quite right.

Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage in mental power is already quite good. It seems that his strength still needs to be further developed, which is normal and not a big problem.

After returning home and tidying up briefly, the two said goodbye to the old woman and prepared to head to Xiamen.

Even though the old woman was extremely reluctant, there was nothing she could do; there would always be a time for parting.

All she could do was tell Xiao Qi to be careful and take good care of himself while he was out.

Little Gold is back now; it has completed its escort mission...

As for whether there will be any news tomorrow, that's a matter for tomorrow to decide.

Ye Chen and Xiao Qi boarded the Xuan Tian Boat and sped towards Lu City.

It was already dark when they arrived in Xiamen!

Since the school hasn't made the beds yet, Xiao Qi will stay in room 1301 tonight.

When Xiao Qi learned that Ah Long and Da Huang had both achieved Foundation Establishment, he was somewhat doubtful about life.

She has a special physique, so her cultivation speed is already quite fast, but this is just too obvious...

Dahuang was originally only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but he reached the Foundation Establishment stage after the New Year?

If Da Huang is an exception, what about A Long? He was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but he also reached the Foundation Establishment stage?

Even a triple jump couldn't reach as far as his.

Xiao Qi was indeed slightly provoked and began to cultivate frantically.

Judging from her cultivation speed, the day she breaks through to the ninth level of Qi Refining won't be too far away.

After Da Huang broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he didn't compete with Xiao Liu for spiritual energy much anymore, and Xiao Liu happily cultivated for a day or two.

Then Xiao Qi arrived, and the speed and amount of spiritual energy she absorbed were far beyond what it could compare to.

In the end, Xiao Liu sadly discovered that it could still only pick up scraps of spiritual energy to cultivate.

......

The night passed uneventfully, with everyone engaged in their own cultivation.

The next day, Xiao Qi went back to school to tidy up his dormitory.

Around 8 a.m., Ye Chen received a text message from Lu Ye congratulating him on the good news.

Lu Ye and Qian Zhengyi finished cultivating their spiritual veins. As he expected, Lu Ye had broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining and was not far from the seventh level.

Qian Zhengyi also made rapid progress, cultivating to the fifth level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop.

They stayed in the spiritual vein for 12 days this time thanks to the Bigu Pill. Although their seclusion time was not the longest, their efficiency was probably the highest.

Upon hearing that Lu Ye and the others had finished their seclusion, Dongzi immediately began packing his things, preparing to head north.

He now yearns for progress; if he doesn't, even Qian Zhengyi will surpass him.

He didn't want to be at the bottom of the department. Oh, and there was also Xiao Liang at the bottom, but she was a girl.

Ye Chen arranged for Dongzi and Xiao Liang to go north together. Xiao Liang had been busy lately and deserved to relax and go into seclusion at the spiritual vein.

Ye Chen gave each of them a Bigu Pill; how far they could cultivate depended on their own fortune.

That afternoon, Lu Ye and Qian Zhengyi returned.

Lu Ye and Qian Zhengyi were on their phones, shocked, as they made their way back.

Good heavens, they've only been off their phones for a little over ten days, how come so many things have happened outside?
