Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"How are you feeling?" Ye Chen asked Xiao Qi with a smile.

"Master, I feel great. I feel incredibly relaxed, as if I've been reborn!" Xiao Qi said with great joy.

"However, my strength hasn't improved much, not as significantly as the Xuanming Heart Sutra described. It stopped around the second level of Foundation Establishment!"

Xiao Qi felt a little regretful when he said this.

"Being able to reach the second level of Foundation Establishment is already quite good. Many people can't even reach the Foundation Establishment level in their entire lives. Be content with what you have!" Ye Chen chuckled and comforted him.

"Yes, yes, I understand, Master. Cultivation requires being down-to-earth, right?" Xiao Qi smiled mischievously.

As Xiao Qi finished his cultivation, the frost in the room began to dissipate; however, it would still take some time for the temperature to return to normal.

At this moment, Xiao Qi looked at Ye Chen and suddenly spoke weakly, "Master, actually, I heard your conversation with Sister Caiwei just now!"

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. What? You heard everything?

Seeing Ye Chen's confusion, Xiao Qi quickly explained, "Master, I, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's just that during the bloodline awakening, I entered a special state, and I could see everything that happened in the neighborhood clearly."

Ye Chen was secretly shocked. Wow, bloodline awakening also comes with insight!

He thought Xiao Qi was lost in his own world, but it turns out he had a God's-eye view!

Luckily, he is upright and honest, otherwise it would have been quite embarrassing.

It was also thanks to Caiwei that he chose to tell the truth when she asked him questions.

Otherwise, how would he face Xiao Qi right now?

Ye Chen took a deep breath. What was bound to happen was bound to happen, so he might as well deal with it all at once today.

He was wondering how to start the conversation, but now he doesn't even need to deliberately bring up the topic.

"Since you heard me, you should know my answer, right? You've probably cursed me out in your mind a lot, haven't you?"

Xiao Qi smiled and shook his head: "My master is such an outstanding person, I never expected to have him all to myself. I'm already very content that he has a place for me in his heart!"

Hearing Xiao Qi say this, Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart and couldn't help but rub Xiao Qi's head.

How kind Heaven is to him!

Surprisingly, neither side required much explanation from him; things went even more smoothly than he had imagined.

Xiao Qi continued, "But there's one thing I also want to argue about. Although Sister Caiwei is also excellent, she has one more day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays than me. I think that's unfair; the seventh day should be shared!"

Ye Chen opened his mouth, a scene flashed through his mind, and he almost burst out laughing. Brilliant!

But Ye Chen held back!

Yes! It's great that young people have this kind of thinking; it's worth encouraging. We really need to treat everyone fairly!

"How about you meet tomorrow? You can all sit down and have a chat!" Ye Chen asked tentatively.

"Sure!" Xiao Qi nodded, showing no sign of objection.

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "This is for you!"

After saying that, Ye Chen took out a spatial jade tablet.

Xiao Qi already had the ability to protect himself, and with the spatial jade token in hand, he didn't need to worry about being coveted, so Ye Chen gave it to him without hesitation.

Ye Chen directly established a mental bridge with Xiao Qi, sharing information with her to save herself the trouble of explaining for a long time.

Xiao Qi opened his mouth in shock and began to try storing items!

The sense of awe when something disappears and then reappears is truly unparalleled.

Even though she had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, she was still quite shocked.

One offers a protective jade talisman, the other offers a spatial jade tablet; the main point is fairness!

Xiao Qi played with the jade pendant for a long time before carefully putting it away.

"Thank you for the gift, Master! I love it!"

Xiao Qi suddenly moved closer to Ye Chen and looked at him affectionately:

"Master, I've now reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so you can't go back on your promise about dual cultivation... Today is Saturday, you belong to me!"

Looking at Xiao Qi, whose breath was fragrant as she leaned closer, Ye Chen's mind went blank.

Demon!

With such a well-behaved, sensible, and understanding girl making these requests repeatedly, what reason does he have to refuse her again and again!

This time, I really couldn't refuse at all.

So be it, so be it. I'll have to pass on this unique skill sooner or later anyway, so there's no time like the present!

Ye Chen immediately shared his cultivation technique and spirit with Xiao Qi, creating a vivid and engaging scene.

Xiao Qi was both fond of it and found it delicious, and her face instantly turned red.

Everything fell into place naturally!

......

Ye Chen also experienced the benefits of dual cultivation; no wonder the system had previously instructed him to take on disciples or engage in dual cultivation...

I don't know if it's because of Xiao Qi's constitution or the mystery of his own cultivation technique.

Ye Chen felt that if he had a few more days, as long as the spiritual energy was sufficient, he could break through to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment at any time.

This is indeed much faster than practicing alone in a difficult way.

[Ding! Dual cultivation detected between the host and a cultivator with the Xuanming physique, triggering a hidden reward of 1000 spirit stones! Would you like to claim it immediately?]

During the dual cultivation, a system notification suddenly sounded in Ye Chen's mind.

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback; there was a hidden reward...

Didn't we already receive a reward for recruiting apprentices once? So the other option has become a hidden reward?!

He had just lamented that he couldn't break through without spiritual energy, and now someone had brought him a pillow as soon as he was sleepy.

This is the second time Ye Chen has received a spirit stone reward!

Now his desire for spirit stones has surpassed his desire for elixirs.

Tongzi's adoptive father is truly generous; he's really offering help in a time of need.

Ye Chen immediately clicked to claim it.

And so, Ye Chen boldly laid out 500 spirit stones in the room and continued his cultivation.

The spiritual energy in the room instantly became richer.

Ye Chen hadn't felt this relaxed and fulfilled during his cultivation in a long time, and he felt like he was floating on air.

However, Xiao Qi's absorption rate of spiritual energy was several times that of Ye Chen.

Therefore, after the spirit stone emerged, most of the spiritual energy flowed into Xiao Qi's body.

Ye Chen could only absorb the scraps!

Although Ye Chen had expected it, he was still quite shocked by the actual experience.

Those who awaken their bloodline are truly defying the heavens; cultivating like this will leave them with no friends...

Ye Chen sighed inwardly, it seemed he would have to arrange for Xiao Qi to join Tian Shu.

It's not for anything else, but for the few opportunities to cultivate spiritual veins each year. Otherwise, how could we afford to cultivate?

If Xiao Qi were to cultivate in a spiritual vein, he would definitely be able to reap huge profits!

Of course, that's for later; we need to finish our training tonight first.

The first time you practice, you should strive to achieve results and leave a positive impression.

Fortunately, the two are still cultivating, sharing the same origin and inseparable, and Xiao Qi's absorption will also benefit Ye Chen.

So it seems that most of the spiritual energy was absorbed by Xiao Qi, but Ye Chen also got half of it.

It's a typical feeling of being full while others are eating...

Ye Chen experienced the joy of passively cultivating without effort!

Originally, the excuse of insufficient spiritual energy was that there was no breakthrough.

Now that the excuse is gone, there's no way they can not break through. 500 spiritual energy points are enough for the two of them to complete the breakthrough.
