Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Whether or not it's suitable for cultivation, take the first step first.

No one will plan out the road for you all at once.

Only when we are on the road can we meet the prerequisite for further discussion.

For example, problem-solving techniques can only be discussed after you have learned the basic knowledge; otherwise, it's just empty talk.

His frank admission of what happened in the video was already an exception.

This is equivalent to telling Xiaoming about some of the possibilities of the future, making the matter transparent, and all that's left for him to do is cultivate step by step.

Look at other teachers and monks, none of them would do that. Most of the time, they emphasize believing first before imparting the teachings.

Maintain a sense of mystery and solemnity!

Everyone knows that studying hard can get you into a good university, allow you to leave your hometown, go to a city with better internet speeds, broaden your horizons, enter more outstanding circles, gain access to a better platform, change your destiny, and raise your minimum standard...

Everyone can see what the road ahead looks like, and the methods and paths have been told to you.

Everyone starts from the same point!

You just need to study the textbook content diligently, step by step, and you'll likely get into a good university...

Even someone with average talent can get into an ordinary university if they have the right attitude.

But why is it that even though this path is so transparent and everyone knows it, many people still doze off in class, play games after class, and lie around during holidays?

Because this is a journey that is bitter at first but sweet later, some people cannot endure this bitter process.

The outcome is already transparent.

If you can't overcome yourself, be a little more self-disciplined, and study hard, then the university admission letter will naturally belong to someone else!

The path of cultivation is the same. Everyone knows that you will become very powerful after cultivation, but the process of cultivation is tedious and painful!

If you can't even get through this process, then what else can you talk about?

If spiritual energy were to revive one day, would it be possible for everyone to cultivate?

The Pareto principle applies everywhere.

The truth is, even if spiritual energy revives, 80% of people will still be ordinary; the new world stage belongs only to the 20% or even fewer...

After cultivating for a while, Ye Chen felt that cultivation depended more on one's temperament.

This can be considered a small test from Ye Chen for Xiao Ming!

Even if you're familiar with someone, you still need to test their basic character.

If he can persevere for a month, then the path of cultivation might be able to help him.

Just like the cultivation method that was passed on to Xiao Liu back then...

But if he can't even stick to it for a month, then he's not really suited for this path.

The combined wealth of the Su and Chu families is enough for him to squander for generations.

Isn't it good to be a pampered young master who never has to worry about food or clothing?

That's fine too!

Why bother with all that suffering and hardship?

Cultivation is an endless path. Look at that old man just now, he's so old and he hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Most people who cultivate will ultimately end up like that old man.

Being able to cultivate to the point of perfect Qi Refining is already incredibly impressive!

For ordinary people, reaching the pinnacle of Qi cultivation is indeed very impressive; it makes carrying bricks and cement much easier!

But this definitely requires arduous practice to achieve.

If you only work sporadically, you might not even be able to reach the later stages of Qi Refining, which would be pointless.

For people in Xiaoming's family, it's like a sweetener that's dispensable; there's not much difference whether they practice or not.

At most, it just means I'll be a little healthier and it'll take a little longer to hand in my assignments...

What the Qi Refining Realm can solve, the behemoths the Su and Chu families can normally solve as well. It's just a matter of money and connections, so it's not a big problem.

What the Su and Chu families can solve, a Qi Refining Realm cultivator might not be able to solve!

Therefore, if Xiaoming can't even stick to it for a month, then there's really no need for him to be so persistent on the path of cultivation.

Ye Chen won't give him any resources or support in the future; he can just treat it as a way to improve his health!

......

The food at this private chef's restaurant was indeed quite good; at least Miss Chu, the young lady, enjoyed her meal immensely.

My initial bad impression of small restaurants has changed a lot!

Xiao Ming, on the other hand, had some worries on his mind; he was currently preoccupied with his eagerness to start cultivating.

Of course, this eagerness stems from both the anticipation of cultivation and the novelty of the unknown. How long this novelty lasts depends on the individual.

......

In a hotel restaurant, an elderly man sat with three young men, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

The four were the master and his four apprentices who came from the private restaurant.

"Master, why didn't you teach that brat a lesson?"

The young man who had been beaten and coughed up blood spoke with some resentment.

"Yes, Master, I have never suffered such a great injustice!" The young man kneeling and kowtowing also looked indignant.

He seemed determined to go and argue with Ah Long again!

The old man glanced at the two of them and snorted coldly, "Hmph, it's time to teach you a lesson for your arrogance. Have you learned your lesson this time?!"

"Master, they were in the wrong from the start. That private room should have been ours!" The young man, who had been beaten and coughed up blood, still spoke with some resentment.

The old man waved his hand to interrupt him: "I don't want to talk about this anymore. If your skills aren't up to par, then practice diligently and get back at your own level!"

"Master, they made me kowtow. It's a small matter if I lose face personally, but it's a big deal if I lose face for you and for the sect!" The young man who kowtowed and apologized also chimed in, adding fuel to the fire.

Although he is young and will definitely suffer a lot in the future, he has never suffered a loss before, so how can he tolerate this?

Right now, the only one who can stand up for him is his master, so he has to stir things up.

As expected, the disciples all knew their master's temperament.

Although the old man knew this was stirring up trouble, he was indeed stirred up by it.

His apprentice was being humiliated like this, and he, as the master, couldn't do anything about it. It was truly infuriating!

If he hadn't been unable to see through Ye Chen's strength, he would have definitely put up a fight!

The old man pondered for a long while before slowly speaking, "They are also cultivators. I can't quite gauge the strength of the young man in the lead. The Holy Maiden hasn't arrived yet, so let's play it safe for now. We'll get our revenge when she arrives!"

"But what if they run away after the Holy Maiden arrives? They're only in their early twenties, how powerful can they be? I think you're being too cautious, Master."

The young man hurriedly spoke after kowtowing and apologizing.

He didn't want to wait even a moment longer.

Just then, a woman in a white dress walked over.

The conversation abruptly stopped, and the people standing up all at once.

The old man was no exception; he stood up as well, his face showing respect.

"Holy Maiden, you have arrived!"

The woman in the white dress nodded slightly, her face expressionless, and casually asked:

"What were you talking about just now? What about losing face for the sect? What are you trying to get revenge for?"
