The path of cultivation and pill refining was long. It might take days or even dozens of days for the pills to be refined.

By the time Lu Xiaoran finished refining a furnace of medicinal pills, seven days had already passed.

In the pill furnace, there was a batch of top-notch Essence Energy Pills lying quietly. There were a total of 50 of them, and they were dazzlingly gold.

This was a high-grade Earth Realm medicinal pill. It was two grades higher than the Qi Gathering Pill.

Currently, there should not be more than three people in the entire Heaven Demon Sect who could refine this medicinal pill.

Lu Xiaoran picked up a medicinal pill and threw it into his mouth to taste it.

Crack! Crack! The pill tasted like crispy chicken.

“That’s right. The purity is as high as 100%. Indeed, I’m a genius. Even without a cheat code, I can still refine an Essence Energy Pill with a purity of 100%.”

Lu Xiaoran learned everything very quickly. It only took him half a year to learn all the cultivation techniques of the Heaven Demon Sect. Moreover, he had mastered all of them and reached the peak of mastery.

However, the highest-level cultivation technique of the Heaven Demon Sect was only a Heaven Realm cultivation technique. Therefore, after Lu Xiaoran learned this cultivation technique, he had nothing to do and spent his time learning pill refinement, array formation, weapon refinement, and other secondary professions.

In any case, it was not a bad thing for one to have more skills.

If there were no “hackers” in this world, Lu Xiaoran was confident that he would 100% be the protagonist.

After all, all of this was obtained by him through his own hard work.

After eating the Essence Energy Pill, Lu Xiaoran circulated his spirit energy and suddenly felt that something was wrong in his body.

“Eh? Why has my cultivation increased by so much?”

Cultivation techniques, pill refinement, weapon refinement, and array formations could all increase one’s cultivation. Among them, cultivation techniques increased one’s cultivation the fastest, and refinement techniques were relatively slow.

However, Lu Xiaoran’s current cultivation had already reached the first level of the Shattering Void Realm and was at 40%.

It had to be known that in just a short seven days, his cultivation breakthrough speed had already gotten much faster.

Moreover, he had only been refining pills these seven days and had not circulated his cultivation technique at all. How could his cultivation increase by so much?

“Wait.”

Lu Xiaoran suddenly thought of Yun Lige. After all, an increase in Yun Lige’s cultivation meant an increase in his cultivation. Could it be because of him?

“Wang Cai.”

“Master, I’m here, I’m here.”

“What level has Yun Lige cultivated to?”

“I’m currently generating Yun Lige’s characteristic panel for Master.”

Soon, a screen appeared in Lu Xiaoran’s mind.

Name: Yun Lige.

Gender: Male.

Cultivation Technique: Primordial Chaos Emperor Scripture. Current cultivation progress: level one.

Cultivation: Perfected Tenth Level Connate Realm..

“Are you kidding me?”

Lu Xiaoran could not help but roar.

He had already perfected the tenth level of the Connate Realm?

Was there a mistake?

After all, Cultivation was not easy!

Why was it as easy as drinking water for Yun Lige?

Yun Lige’s talent should not be stronger than his own.

Moreover, the Primordial Chaos Emperor Scripture had a total of ten levels. He had only cultivated to the first level and had nine more to go..

Seemingly sensing Lu Xiaoran’s shock and confusion, Wang Cai explained,

“What Yun Lige cultivates is a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique. Compared to the cultivation technique Master previously cultivated, it’s of a higher realm.It’s very normal for one’s cultivation speed to be faster during the first few levels. If it were Master who cultivated the Primordial Chaos Emperor Scripture, you would be able to advance from an ordinary person to the perfected tenth level of the Connate Realm in just two hours.”

Lu Xiaoran’s face could not help but twitch fiercely.

The strength of a hacker was indeed monstrous.

He had cultivated so hard every day. Despite his outstanding talent, it had still taken him two months to reach the perfected tenth level of the Connate Realm.

On the other hand, Yun Lige had accomplished this in seven days.

Fortunately, he was the one who helped Yun Lige hack. Otherwise, he would have definitely killed Yun Lige now to prevent any future trouble.

However, this was also a good thing. This was because the more Yun Lige cultivated, the higher his own gains would be!

He looked at Yun Lige’s characteristic panel again and suddenly realized that there were many small gift bags below.

“Wang Cai, what’s this?”

“Master, this is an advancement gift bag. Every time the disciple advances by a realm level, you will get a small gift bag. Every time they advance by an entire realm, you will get a big gift bag. Currently, Yun Lige has advanced past the three realms of Body Tempering, Postnatal, and Connate. Between these three realms are also thirty realm levels. There are a total of three big gifts and thirty small gifts.”

“…”

Lu Xiaoran was speechless again. There were even gifts?

This was too much!

How could those who relied on themselves to cultivate live?

Originally, without Wang Cai, Lu Xiaoran thought that he was already blessed by the heavens by being a genius. By then, he already felt that it was very unfair to ordinary martial artists.

However, after meeting Wang Cai, he realized what it meant to be truly despicable.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Xiaoran opened a small gift bag.

“It’s just a small gift bag. It should only be a small gift, right?”

High-grade Earth Realm Essence Energy Pill x100.

“???”

“There must be a mistake. Again.”

Lu Xiaoran opened another small gift bag.

Top-grade Heaven Realm cultivation technique, Thunderbolt Fist x1.

Lu Xiaoran: “…”

“Wang Cai, come out.”

“Coming, coming. What are your instructions, Master?”

“Did you give me the wrong gift bag? Is this really a small gift bag?”

“???”

“Do you have to put so many things in a small gift bag? Did you know that even as the number one genius of my Heaven Demon Sect, I had to spend an entire seven days just to refine 50 Essence Energy Pills?”

“Ah? I’ve already wrapped them in the smallest amount.”

Lu Xiaoran :”…”

“Actually, why didn’t you just give him something bigger? You should have directly gifted me a hundred thousand years of cultivation and made me ascend and attain eternity. Why would you still want me to take in disciples?”

“I would do that if I could. The problem is that if I don’t use this method, I won’t be able to generate rewards.”

“Get lost.”

“Alright.”

After Wang Cai disappeared, Lu Xiaoran opened the small gift bag one by one and obtained a large number of precious medicinal pills, magic weapons, and cultivation techniques…

The three gift bags were even more abnormal.

Top-grade Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique—Azure Thearch Longevity Art.

Top-grade Martial Monarch Realm formation—Eight Trigrams Heaven Sealing Formation.

Top-grade Martial Monarch Realm formation—Purple Heaven Divine Lightning Formation.

Too much!

This was too much!

Wasn’t this too abnormal? How can the cultivators in this world who work hard endure this?

“Forget it, there’s nothing I can do about it. I suppose these are the burdens of a lucky man. I’ll reluctantly accept these things.”

After receiving the items, Lu Xiaoran thought of the disciple he obtained with no effort.

“Let’s go and take a look at Yun Lige first. Isn’t this brat cultivating too hard? After seven days and nights, he cultivated to the perfected tenth level of the Connate Realm. Could he have suddenly died?”

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoran quickly walked out of his alchemy room and arrived at the place where Yun Lige was.

From afar, he saw Yun Lige sitting cross-legged on a huge rock.

It was as if he had formed a small black hole vortex, absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth spirit energy into his body endlessly. His speed was so terrifying that it was shocking..
