Chapter 603
"My Dao lies in [Commerce]. It lies in [Profit]."
Jiao Xiuyuan spoke with a touch of emotion:
"In this world, all things flow for profit. The path of commerce flourishes abundantly across the mortal realm."
"Thus, I create countless puppets, observe the gains and losses of the human world, and cultivate through this process."
"At the beginning, the accumulation of wealth is always extremely rapid. It’s almost like climbing a staircase daily, and my cultivation realm also advanced step by step alongside it."
"But upon reaching a certain level, the expansion of [Qianli Hall] slowed significantly."
"My cultivation stalled for a long time. Originally, I thought I could rely on the insights from this massive profit to make a breakthrough in one go. Yet, it turns out, I’m still lacking a spark."
"The saying ‘Seeing the mountain but exhausting the horse’ comes to mind. What seemed within reach was actually separated by countless mountains and valleys."
Li Fan listened to Jiao Xiuyuan’s lament and recalled the immense gap he recently witnessed between those in the Dao Integration Realm and the Longevity Immortal Realm.
