Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Even if one day the method of cultivation is no longer a secret.

The true cultivation method was laid out before them, and everyone could practice it.

The prerequisite is that you need to persevere through the tedious process day after day.

Do they have the energy to keep practicing?

I don't get back to my dorm until 8 or 9 pm every day after get off work, and 99% of my energy is already gone.

This is when a person is in the most relaxed state.

With all sorts of entertainment options laid out before them, who could resist such temptation?

Most people lie in bed, pick up their phones, play games, or watch videos, and an hour or two passes by.

With their entertainment needs met, their days were spent in a "fulfilling" way.

Cultivation is much more tedious than reading books...

It can put you to sleep in a minute.

If you can't even concentrate on reading books normally, let alone cultivate yourself.

They probably can't even calm their minds, let alone understand the cultivation techniques.

If you don't see any results after practicing for a few days, how many people can persevere?

I casually played a couple of games to relax, and then forgot about my serious cultivation.

After a while, he still ended up being just an ordinary person.

Anyone who can stick to it is definitely a very self-disciplined person.

However, highly self-disciplined people have long since broken free from the constraints of the 996 work schedule.

This is inherently contradictory.

This alone is enough to eliminate 80% of the applicants.

As for quitting without a job lined up, should you calm down and focus on self-improvement?

That's still unrealistic.

If you don't work, have no income, and can't afford the rent, the landlord will make you move out in no time.

Even cultivators have to pay rent!

Otherwise, there's nowhere to sleep under the bridge!

Even getting food is a problem.

In big cities, without a job, even survival becomes a problem.

If you can't even survive, why bother with Der (a type of cultivation)?

I was starving after just a few days. Three meals a day, rice, oil, and salt were unavoidable.

This is the rugged road for ordinary people...

Perhaps, more and more extraordinary events will come into people's view in the future.

This allows people to gradually adapt to this extraordinary, mixed-use world.

Later on, seeing people flying in the sky didn't surprise me too much.

However, the dreamlike scenes of battling mythical beasts, opening the gates of heaven with a single sword, and roaming freely between heaven and earth are ultimately irrelevant to most ordinary people.

It's irrelevant at least for now!

Even if there really is a day when everyone cultivates immortality, it won't be now.

This requires a transition period, a period of public acceptance, a period of rule refinement, and a period of time with strong leaders to prevent things from spiraling out of control...

This road is full of thorns, and it will eventually need pioneers to pave the way so that it can become a broad road for ordinary people.

Do ordinary people want to be the first to try something new?

Either they were incredibly lucky, blessed with good fortune, and truly paved the way to become one of the first beneficiaries.

Either they will be completely overwhelmed by thorns and disappear in the tide of the times.

Most people will be the latter.

So what ordinary people can do now is to wait and see, exercise, and prepare for the arrival of this era.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. With sufficient preparation, one can ride the wave when the opportunity arises.

Even if you can't be the first to try something new, you won't be swept away by the tides of time.

Perhaps this incident of the black dragon injuring people in Dongyue will eventually lead to deeper reflection among people.

Consider how to embrace the extraordinary world that is about to unfold.

......

Ye Chen arrived in the capital and called Xia Wudi.

As a result, Xia Wudi went to find Taiyi Shisan, the Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sect.

It's still on its way.

Ye Chen was speechless. "I've already finished fighting and returned to the capital, and you still haven't arrived at the Taiyi Sect?"

By the time you find someone and get information about the formation, it'll be too late...

This illustrates the importance of convenient transportation.

Well, Xia Wudi doesn't have the Xuan Tian Ark, and he's getting on in years, so it's understandable!

Ye Chen briefly explained the situation to Xia Wudi over the phone.

When the Black Dragon's cultivation level was mentioned, Xia Wudi remained silent for a long time after hearing it.

Finally, he let out a long sigh and hung up the phone.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable hearing that a black dragon at the Nascent Soul stage or even above is standing against humanity.

Good news! There are also beings at the Nascent Soul level or above in China.

Bad news, and it doesn't seem very good. It went berserk right after it came out, and so many people died...

The road ahead is long!

Ye Chen did not go to find Master Lu Yin; he was probably cultivating at the moment.

As for Ma Dongcan, Ye Chen didn't know where he lived and was too lazy to look for him.

They'll find out about this sooner or later anyway.

He also has a meeting with a senior leader in the afternoon.

Let's talk about it after we meet with the top leader.

The guardians still need to discuss this matter and what to do next.

......

In the afternoon, Ye Chen met with the senior leader as scheduled.

Ye Chen first reported on the incident of the Black Dragon of Dongyue injuring people that morning!

There was no exaggeration; it was simply an objective statement of the facts.

The top leader is obviously already aware of what happened in Dongyue.

After all, it's trending on social media, so it's probably hard not to know about it!

The top leader didn't fly into a rage; instead, he waved his hand and said, "No one could have predicted this situation. You don't need to blame yourself too much!"

Ye Chen sighed: "Boss, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. I didn't expect the breakthrough to take so long."

"If I had arrived yesterday and thwarted Sakura's scheme, none of this would have happened!"

Ye Chen did not shirk responsibility for what happened yesterday and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Explain what happened.

The senior leader listened calmly, nodded, and slowly began to speak.

"What's past is past. Perhaps it was fate. It's a good thing that you've broken through again!"

"I'm curious, what realm are you at now, the second or third level of the Golden Core stage?"

Ye Chen didn't hide anything from the old man and answered truthfully, "Late stage of Golden Core!"

"Late stage of Golden Core?" The old man was clearly taken aback.

Such an expression is rarely seen on the face of this weathered old man who has seen many big occasions.

Ye Chen nodded: "Yes, I obtained some opportunities from Master Lu Yin!"

It took the old man more than ten seconds to process the information Ye Chen had just said.

"Late stage of Golden Core! Hahaha, good, good!" The old man clapped his hands and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

"You're even more stunning than I imagined!"

The old man looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of admiration, his eyes even shining!

Ye Chen felt a little embarrassed by their stares.

He's just a bit overpowered, that's all!

The old man looked at Ye Chen for a moment, then turned his gaze to the distance and slowly said, "Actually, there are some secrets behind this matter!"

"Secret?" Ye Chen looked puzzled.

The old man nodded: "Yes, since you've already reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and given what happened today, you have the right to know some things!"

Ye Chen did not interrupt the old man and let him continue.

The old man posed a direct question: "Do you know who sealed the dragon underground?"
