Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ah Long scratched his head and mumbled, "Uh, I guess so!"

He definitely wouldn't say anything without Ye Chen's signal.

Since Xiaoming took the initiative to say it was qigong, he could only go along with it.

Spiritual energy is also a type of energy!

Xiao Ming, looking interested, continued, "How long have you been practicing this to get to this level?"

Ah Long was completely at a loss for words.

To be honest, it's been less than half a year, but saying that can easily mislead others.

With normal training, let alone half a year, even ten years might not be enough to reach his level...

Ye Chen chuckled and continued, "Ah Long practices the 'Boyhood Skill,' he's been practicing it since he was a child. You can't envy that. Your grandfather, as the guild leader, is also quite skilled. Didn't you learn a few moves from him when you were little?"

Xiao Ming waved his hand: "Forget it, look how tired he is from practicing like that every day. He'll never be that good, even if he practices until he's old. I'm too lazy to learn from him!"

Ye Chen shook his head: "Practicing martial arts is inherently a tedious thing, but if you persevere, you'll eventually see results. Isn't he in pretty good spirits now?"

Xiao Ming blinked and asked with a cheeky grin, "That kind of physical fitness isn't what I want, Xiao Chen. Do you have any quick fixes? Like the ones in your videos, the kind that make you fly!"

Since the topic had come up, Xiaoming didn't hold back and went straight to the point.

It had to be him; no one else would dare ask so directly.

Of course, whether Ye Chen would answer if others asked him that is another matter.

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "You've been watching too many videos, haven't you? There's no such thing as a shortcut. Every move and technique is the result of hard work day and night. If you want to become an expert overnight, you need to have the guts!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ming immediately felt discouraged: "Oh, so I still have to practice day and night? Isn't there any shortcut? Ever since I got married, I just want to give up!"

Xiao Chu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but purse her lips as she listened to their conversation. Ha, boys are always just kids who never grow up.

Flying? You've been watching too many martial arts movies! Doesn't Newton have any dignity?

However, she didn't interrupt, but just took out her phone and chatted with her best friend.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes: "You're already doing the saving graces by not starting a business, not gambling, and not squandering money. Sure, as long as you just lie back, the Su family will still be the Su family. But don't really become a meatball that only knows how to eat and wash feet!"

Xiao Ming immediately became agitated: "Nonsense! I never go to those kinds of shady places!"

After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Chu and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was engrossed in playing on her phone.

Xiao Ming rubbed his round belly, seemingly having made up his mind: "Can you teach me? I want to try it too!"

Xiao Ming didn't beat around the bush with Ye Chen and directly asked for knowledge.

Their friendship, built over several years in college, meant there was no need for formalities.

Ye Chen glanced at Xiao Ming sideways: "Alright, I'll teach you a breathing technique. Practice it diligently every day before sunrise for a month. If you can't even stick to that, then being a rich young master isn't so bad!"

Xiao Ming, somewhat skeptical, asked, "A month of breathing exercises? That's so early, like my grandfather's?"

Ye Chen nodded: "Pretty much, but there are some differences!"

Xiao Ming immediately collapsed: "Huh? Does that really work? If it did, my grandfather would already be a martial arts master, right?"

"Whether it's useful or not, you have to try it first to know. What others say is just what they say; only through your own practice can you gain true knowledge."

Ye Chen spoke in an annoyed tone.

Xiao Ming then asked, "So, does that mean I can fly after I finish training, or how long will it take to learn?"

Ye Chen rolled his eyes at him and shook his head directly: "You can't fly at all. That's called being overly ambitious. If it were that easy to fly, wouldn't Superman be flying everywhere? Think about reality."

Xiao Ming thought about it and it seemed to make sense, but then he remembered something and muttered, "But, but can't you fly? Right? There were no special effects in that video!"

Ye Chen nodded subtly and transmitted his voice, "Yes, what you saw is all true. This world is more wonderful than you imagine!"

However, he spoke with a straight face: "Young people should believe in science, be down-to-earth, avoid comparing themselves to others, and only by forging their own path can they reap great rewards!"

Xiao Ming's body trembled slightly. He saw Ye Chen nod and heard Ye Chen admit it.

Ye Chen admitted he can fly?! Holy crap, he really can fly!

The reason he said that was probably because Xiao Chu was here, and there were some things he couldn't talk about openly!

Having known Ye Chen for so long, he naturally knew that Ye Chen wouldn't make things up on such matters, so it seemed his guess was confirmed.

He was shocked when he saw that video of the southern border.

He had considered countless possibilities, and now that he had received Ye Chen's confirmation, it was impossible not to be shocked.

Is the world more amazing than you imagine? Just how amazing is it? Is it as amazing as you imagine?

Xiao Ming was shocked. He glanced at Xiao Chu, who was engrossed in her phone, and joked, "I don't believe you! You tell me to believe in science, and then you suddenly fly away, right?"

Ye Chen waved his hand, not continuing the conversation on this topic:

"You should practice first. If you can stick with it for a month, then we can talk about other things. Otherwise, it's like building castles in the air. No matter how big the pie is drawn, you won't be able to eat it. Even if I tell you the most eloquent things, you won't believe me. You have to walk the path yourself to know!"

Xiao Ming nodded: "Okay, so will I see results in a month? How long will it take to see results?"

After a long pause, Ye Chen slowly spoke: "This road has only a beginning and no end; it's a journey that never ends!"

Xiao Ming was stunned when he heard this.

"Huh? No end? That's like what my grandpa does, practicing until he's old! If I had that kind of perseverance, I would have been practicing Tai Chi with my grandpa long ago!"

Ye Chen shrugged: "You always have to give something to get something, right? Besides the Su family's wealth, do you think you'd ever get anything for nothing? If we hadn't stayed home together for four years, do you think you'd even have a chance at something like this!"

"Okay, so how long will it take me to reach your level?" Xiaoming asked tentatively at the end.

Ye Chen counted on his fingers and said seriously, "If you're exceptionally talented, it'll probably take you ten or twenty years. If your talent is average, you'll probably have achieved quite a bit by the time your grandfather is old enough!"

Ye Chen wasn't exaggerating at all. His current cultivation level is at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. It would indeed take others a long time to reach this level, and they would also need talent and good fortune!

Xiao Ming fell silent, somewhat dejected...

Ye Chen couldn't say some things so bluntly, much less demonstrate them here on the spot.

Although the two have a good relationship, different paths are suitable for different types of people, and not everyone is suited to this path.
