When system cheat becomes rampant!

It was indeed strange. When Elder Luo had led everyone to fight against the beast tide, it seemed he hadn't been so serious about calculations. But at Beifei's place, these simple calculations still needed to be checked several times.

"When you cultivate, you must be steady and avoid being overly eager to achieve success, understand? The Meridian Opening stage is a very important phase. Many people get stuck at this level because they are too anxious and fail to clearly understand their own condition," Elder Luo admonished.

"Understood."

Xiang Beifei nodded slightly and asked, "Where is the best place to start opening the meridians?"

"Start from where you are strongest. You are used to using your fists, so it's best to start with both fists, then move to the arms, and eventually spread to the whole body," Elder Luo suggested.

"Fists."

Xiang Beifei looked at his right fist, pondering.

"How do I open the meridians?"

"By absorbing the external Spiritual Energy to nurture your own meridians, allowing them to grow gradually. This is when the system's advantage becomes apparent. The higher the system's talent level, the greater the help it provides, the faster it absorbs external Spiritual Energy, and the quicker the meridians open," Elder Luo explained.

The reason the system's talent in this world is so crucial is exactly as described.

Especially at higher realms, the disparity between SSR and S level will grow even wider, and even among SSRs, various gaps will emerge. Of course, higher cultivation realms are a different story altogether.

Elder Luo further detailed the methods and key points of how to open the meridians to Xiang Beifei, patiently guiding him on how to use Spiritual Power to coalesce into meridians, even demonstrating it for him.

"I think your own system will also tell you the key points, but if you need anything, feel free to come to me."

Before leaving, Elder Luo gave Xiang Beifei a big handful of sunflower seeds.

——

After leaving the grove, Xiang Beifei returned to his dormitory and entered his cultivation space.

Following Elder Luo's advice, he planned to start the meridian opening from his fists.

Elder Luo thought that Beifei's system would tell him how to cultivate, but in reality, Xiang Beifei had no system at all; he only had Xiaohei.

Xiaohei wouldn't instruct him on how to cultivate; all he had was a unique cultivation technique.

However, he remembered the last time Xiaohei had snatched the God Refining Pill from Principal Li Nanxing and said in dog language, "Xiaohei, can the spiritual power crystal help me breakthrough faster?"

Xiaohei had mentioned that Principal Li Nanxing's God Refining Pill could rapidly advance him to the mid-stage of Meridian Opening in a short time, and even unlock new abilities, meaning the system's rewards could potentially help him.

"Woof, woof, woof!" Xiaohei said.

"Oh, so it's possible."

What Xiaohei meant was that high-grade spiritual power crystals were effective for him, while the low-grade ones were basically useless and could only be used as a supplement.

During his Qi-Controlling stage, Xiang Beifei didn't rely on someone else's system rewards to increase his cultivation level. His advancement was mainly through step-by-step cultivation of his own technique, a truly grounded approach to cultivation.

Because laying a solid foundation in the Qi-Controlling stage is crucial, similar to building a layer of a building; if the foundation is not solid, the building will easily collapse once it gets higher!

This is also why, at higher cultivation realms, even though everyone might be SSR or SR, the differences in cultivation levels are vast. Many just used the system to stack their cultivation levels, which created different foundations.

The reason why Xiang Beifei spent longer in the later phase of Qi-Controlling than Hou Chengwu was precisely because of this.

Previously, the system rewards he took from others were used to illuminate constellations.

But as of now, his foundation was already very solid, so he could attempt to use other spiritual power crystals to aid himself.

The spiritual power crystals from the Qi-Controlling stage were no longer beneficial to his advancement. What he needed now were crystals from the Meridian Opening or even higher stages.

Like the crystals from the God Refining stage.

"Similar to Principal's God Refining Pill reward, this is going to be tricky," Beifei muttered while cracking the sunflower seeds Elder Luo had given him, reflecting on the incident with Principal Li Nanxing.

Principal Li Nanxing's God Refining Pill contained immense and pure Spiritual Power. Xiaohei mentioned it could refine this pill and transform it into pure Spiritual Power for him to absorb, enabling him to reach mid-stage Meridian Opening within half a year!

He had returned it at that time, however.

Now, he had encountered three high-level figures, each more formidable than Principal Li Nanxing, with at least God Refining stage cultivation!

But Xiang Beifei had never considered asking them to spend on his behalf.

That's because the higher the grade of spiritual power crystalline needed, the more system points it costs! Just thinking about how Principal Li Nanxing had saved his entire life for that single God Refining Pill shows how significant it is. Moreover, that pill was only from the Quasi-Spirit Spirit stage.

Even though Elder Luo, Ye Changfeng, and Professor Guo have high cultivation levels, acquiring such items is still very costly.

Elder Luo rarely uses his system points to purchase items from the store because his strength is linked to his system points. At most, he buys some sunflower seeds for himself and Beifei to enjoy together.

Xiang Beifei couldn't ask Elder Luo to exchange a system reward similar to a God Refining Pill; it would cost Elder Luo nearly ten million system points!

If he deducted ten million system points, Elder Luo's strength and overall attributes would effectively decrease by ten million points, significantly reducing his strength.

Now Elder Luo treasured Xiang Beifei as if he were a treasure. Although Luo might agree if Beifei asked, because Beifei's spiritual power cultivation could provide significant benefits to him, Beifei did not want Luo to suffer too much loss because of him.
