Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen experienced this feeling as he fought.

The flow of energy within the body is quite comfortable, giving one a strange sense of exhilaration.

Before, it was just a fine, thread-like sensation that you wouldn't notice unless you paid close attention. But today, the sensation is much more pronounced.

It seems that absorbing the spiritual energy of the teleportation jade talisman was effective!

At the same time, this also allowed Ye Chen to gain a deeper understanding of each move of Tai Chi.

He had never been able to understand what it meant to have one's intention, one's energy, and one's punches arrive.

Now that energy was flowing through his body, Ye Chen instantly had a clear understanding of these six words.

Gradually, Ye Chen became immersed in it, feeling the smoothness brought by each move!

He had forgotten that he was practicing Tai Chi; it was as if he was simply enjoying the pleasure of the energy flowing through him.

Old Zhou, who was standing to the side, glanced at Ye Chen and was taken aback for a moment. Then he stopped what he was doing and looked at Ye Chen.

When the others saw Old Zhou stop, they followed his gaze and looked at Ye Chen.

The group of elderly people were also somewhat stunned.

"What's wrong with you?" Old Xie asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Shh-"

Immediately, someone gestured for him to be quiet, indicating that he should stop talking!

Old Xie also looked at Ye Chen, who was completely absorbed in his work.

"Hiss—, Holy crap!" Old Xie exclaimed in a low voice.

Ye Chen was wearing a white long-sleeved training uniform, since everyone else was dressed like that, and he had to fit in.

At this moment, his clothes billowed and fluttered!

It wouldn't be surprising if there was a breeze, but there wasn't a breath of wind this morning!

The clothes they wore and the still trees beside them were the best proof.

What surprised them even more was that the fallen leaves where Ye Chen stood were actually moving back and forth on the ground as Ye Chen moved.

How is that possible?

This is something only a TV show would dare to film like this!

Everyone carefully sensed it and confirmed that there really was no wind!

But what about the fallen leaves beneath Ye Chen?

A moment later, Ye Chen finished his set of movements and slowly came to a stop!

As he stood still, the "wind" around him quietly disappeared, and his clothes returned to their normal hanging position.

The few leaves on the ground were also frozen into an irregular circle!

Ye Chen stood still, savoring the feeling from just now, and remained standing there for more than a minute.

When he came to his senses with joy, he found the old men and women staring at him with wide eyes, as if they were looking at a panda.

"Holy crap, what are you guys doing?" Ye Chen was taken aback.

Old Zhou stepped forward and looked Ye Chen up and down: "Brother Ye, tell me honestly, did you secretly practice extra on your own?"

"Extra training? Extra training for what?" Ye Chen was full of questions.

"Brother Ye, how did you do that?" Elder Xie also asked.

Ye Chen was even more confused. What were they talking about? He couldn't understand a word they were saying.

"Stop, stop, stop! Explain yourself in more detail, I don't understand!" Ye Chen rolled his eyes.

"Look at the ground yourself. These leaves were fluttering along with your movements. Have you mastered some kind of technique?" Old Zhou pointed to the leaves on the ground.

Ye Chen looked down at the ground and found a circle of fallen leaves surrounding him.

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. What was going on?

He was just circulating energy around his body! Could he possibly attract external forces?

This was the first time Ye Chen had ever seen such a scene, so he felt it was a bit dreamlike, like something out of a TV drama.

The team leader, Mr. Liu, pondered for a moment before speaking, "I once saw a Tai Chi master who performed a similar routine. Later, I learned that it was due to internal energy. Young friend Ye, you haven't developed internal energy, have you?"

"Internal energy?" Ye Chen blinked.

He had heard of internal energy, but only from television novels.

In reality, he had never seen internal energy.

Others may not know the condition inside Ye Chen's body, but surely Ye Chen himself knows?

He definitely doesn't have internal energy.

But there's still a tiny bit of spiritual power!

Ye Chen guessed that it was probably the limited amount of spiritual energy in his body that had taken effect just now.

Well, compared to spiritual power, internal energy is probably easier for people to accept.

Ye Chen's mind raced as he quickly explained, "Oh, I don't know what internal energy is, but I practiced some internal martial arts with my grandfather when I was little!"

Ye Chen had no choice but to bring his grandfather up again.

"Oh my, then it must be right. That was internal energy just now. To have cultivated internal energy at such a young age, that's incredible, truly incredible!" Grandpa Liu exclaimed with admiration.

"Ye Chen, you're something else! You've walked ahead of us old folks!" Grandpa Wang patted Ye Chen on the shoulder.

Ye Chen felt that something was off about what he was saying; it just sounded strange!

Ye Chen scratched his head, giving him an expression that said, "Whatever you say, I don't understand anyway."

"Hehe, what a coincidence! I don't even know what internal energy is. I probably got a little carried away while fighting and just stumbled upon it by accident. If I had to do it again, I doubt I could recreate that feeling!"

Everyone nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Ye Chen was indeed quite absorbed in it just now, as if he had forgotten himself.

We've been practicing Tai Chi together for so long, we all know each other's skill levels.

Ye Chen must have had a sudden realization that morning.

"Hiss, is this what they call sudden enlightenment?" Grandpa Liu asked earnestly.

Ye Chen's forehead was covered in dots, what kind of sudden enlightenment was this? He was really watching TV!

But was his state just now considered an epiphany?

I don't think so; at most, it's just a bit of intense concentration.

"Everyone talks about martial arts prodigies. I used to be a little skeptical, but today I believe it. Ye Chen is definitely one of them!" Grandpa Wang said with a smile.

"Wow, impressive, Ye! You're really something for a young person!"

"Haha, yeah, we can't deny we're getting old!"

"That's definitely internal energy in your body. With more practice, you'll probably be able to control it perfectly. You could be the next Tai Chi master!"

......

Everyone started praising it enthusiastically!

At that moment, the sun rose, and a familiar spiritual energy surged forth.

"Ah, look, the sun is out!" Ye Chen exclaimed, changing the subject, while silently breathing in the air.

Several seconds later, Ye Chen still looked like he hadn't had enough.

Today's efficiency was noticeably lower than yesterday's. It might be because I was so engrossed in practicing Tai Chi that I forgot the time and rushed things, or it might be because being watched by a group of elderly people made me feel a bit restrained.

Ye Chen felt like he'd missed out on a fortune; it seemed he'd have to be more careful about timing next time!

This is the only sustainable source of spiritual energy he has discovered so far.

Its importance is beyond doubt.

"Did you feel anything just now?" Ye Chen asked casually.

Everyone looked at each other, completely bewildered. What were they thinking?

"Brother Ye, what kind of feeling are you referring to?" Elder Xie asked, puzzled.

Ye Chen sighed inwardly, regretting that these old men and women probably couldn't sense the existence of spiritual energy.

That's true. They're getting old, and their sensory sensitivity has long since decreased, so it's normal that they can't feel it.

Besides, who in their right mind would expect that spiritual energy would appear in those few dozen seconds of sunrise?

How many people are still sleeping at this hour?

Anyway, when he used to go to work, his alarm clock wouldn't have gone off at this time!
