Cultivation: One Effort, Hundredfold Harvest

You consume a pill, triggering a 100x critical hit and gaining 100 pill poison.

Having read several novels featuring this kind of "golden finger" ability, I've noticed that it's generally used to delve into the essence of cultivation and embark on the path of creating new techniques. After all, most people break through realms by following the methods of their predecessors, experiencing only a fleeting moment of enlightenment during the breakthrough. Many only know the "what" but not the "why." The protagonist, with a hundredfold enlightenment, can deeply analyze the underlying principles, such as how spells are formed, how spiritual energy is transformed into mana, the structural principles of the golden core, and how the nascent soul transforms, etc.

It seems alright, no major flaws. However, should this cheat ability be upgraded later? If it's purely based on comprehension, it's fine; you can upgrade as long as you get critical hits. But if your aptitude is too low, even with a hundred times the speed, unless you keep getting critical hits, it'll be hard to compete with those geniuses in terms of cultivation speed later on.

It seems unreasonable that a sect doesn't have the resources needed for cultivation; what's the point of joining a sect then?

I have a question. What's the use of joining a sect?

This setting is so weird! Qi Refining stage cultivators can only live to 100! Even mortals can live to 120! Foundation Establishment stage cultivators can only live to 200!

Well, I stopped reading after chapter 78. It was decent, but too bland; I couldn't keep going.

The author needs to expand the plot more; right now it feels like the protagonist just spends all his time cultivating, and there's not much other storyline.

Is this a martial arts novel...? The whole book ends when he reaches the Core Formation stage? He can write another million words and reach the Nascent Soul stage 🙂
