Hello. I loved this game, but i have a question... Why can every dog, sometimes even lower in the cultivation stage, swat me like a bug? Why can't I win without pills? What is the point of the coolest foundation for the development of cultivation if the balance spoils everything? It's weird, and if you don't try to do every stage perfectly, then you'll eventually die of old age.

The main increase in power for the player is good stances, so if you are finding things tough then optimise that. Also look into good masteries and good gear. And finally, the game is balanced around using pills, so not doing so is nerfing yourself.
Also, most cultivators you can fight are the strongest of the realm, not standard weak enemies, so they should be a challenge.
