If aggressive methods are used in the short term, one's power level can even double, but it would damage the foundation and affect future progression on the path of cultivation—a practice Zheng Yi absolutely will not engage in.
Zheng Yi has his own long-term plans: Black Evil Technique, Profound Evil Body Forging Technique, Soul-Catching Banner refining, Zombie Blood Bat system cultivation, the Five Ghost Infants, Blood and Flesh Gourd Sword Embryo—these matters one by one demand a lot of his time and energy.
To manage so many things and increase his strength several times over, ascending several levels in Qi Cultivation within just six months, Zheng Yi is already very satisfied.
He deeply understands the principle that cultivation is a matter of longevity and vision, not a rush to overweight gains; shortcuts have already been marked with a price in fate.
