Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Judging from the absorption rate of the Qi-tonifying pills, his current absorption efficiency is more than doubled.

Ye Chen tried to use the Wind and Thunder Seal again!

He casually slapped his palm out into the courtyard.

It was noticeable that the manipulation of spiritual energy within the body seemed to be more effortless.

In layman's terms, the skill casting process used to have a pre-cast animation, but now that animation time has been shortened by more than half!

In a truly critical moment in a battle, even the slightest bit of time can determine the outcome!

This is a genuine improvement in strength!

"Rumble, rumble—"

"boom--"

A faint rumble of thunder could be heard in the air, and the flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard swayed.

A stone that already had cracks split open completely!

Ye Chen stepped forward to examine the stone and was secretly alarmed.

Although it wasn't the first time he had used the Wind and Thunder Seal, each time he did, he was amazed by its power.

Perhaps this is the unreal feeling that ordinary people experience when they possess extraordinary powers.

What would happen if this were filmed on a person? They'd probably break bones and snap muscles, right?

Of course, this power should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

However, having a trump card always gives people a sense of confidence, allowing them to handle many things with ease.

It doesn't matter if others don't speak to you in a calm and peaceful manner.

There were far fewer people at the clinic today.

It's possible that the free clinic period has ended, or perhaps everyone in the area who needed medical attention had already done so in the past few days.

However, fewer people is a good thing, as it proves that the people are healthy and well. Hospitals and clinics should ideally have as few people as possible.

With fewer people around, Ye Chen had more time to do his own things, such as sunbathing at the door and watching girls!

There weren't many people around today, so Wenlong could manage on his own. Ye Chen, on the other hand, lazily sat by the door enjoying the autumn and winter sunbathing.

At that moment, he felt someone watching him, and it seemed to be with ill intent.

This feeling is inexplicable.

It is a spiritual awareness that arises spontaneously in the body after cultivation.

Ye Chen remained expressionless, took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, still maintaining a lazy and carefree demeanor.

Across the street, not far away, a middle-aged man was smoking a cigarette while seemingly glancing in the direction of the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Ye Chen could sense that the other party was deliberately keeping an eye on him.

The other person has a very ordinary face, like an NPC, the kind that you can't remember what they look like after just one glance.

However, Ye Chen was certain that he did not know the other party.

What's this guy trying to do?

Could it be that the TCM clinic has been attracting too much business these past few days and has been targeted?

Or did he affect other people's business?

Believe it or not, both possibilities are possible!

It's not that Ye Chen wants to think of people as so bad, but good and bad are things that are hidden in the heart, and bad people don't wear their badness on their faces!

It's always good to be a little more careful!

The middle-aged man stood there and smoked three more cigarettes, then threw the cigarette butts away and walked straight away!

Ye Chen, with his sharp eyes, noticed seven or eight cigarette butts on the ground opposite, indicating that the other person had been standing there for a long time.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and followed as if nothing had happened.

Finally, it was discovered that the middle-aged man had entered a Western medicine clinic about 400-500 meters away!

"Boss, that TCM clinic is less crowded today, but it's still quite busy!" the middle-aged man said in a low voice.

However, Ye Chen heard it clearly.

"Yeah, if this continues every day, our clinic will be out of business. No one's come to see us these past few days. Keep an eye on them and figure out how to deal with them!"

A rooster's voice rang out.

"Okay, boss. Actually, I've observed that most of those people are young. Maybe intimidating them will have some effect!" the middle-aged man said slowly.

"Hey, this is a civilized society now, we don't do that anymore. Now we use our brains when we do things, intimidation is the last resort!" the rooster-like voice said in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll do whatever the boss says!" The middle-aged man nodded in agreement.

"Okay, please contact Xiao An and have him come see me!"

"OK!"

The two stopped talking.

Little did they know that Ye Chen had overheard their entire conversation.

Ye Chen sneered inwardly and returned to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic without making a sound.

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark; the worst thing is when someone plays dirty tricks.

If that's the case, he'll have to worry about everyone's safety!

However, it's clear they won't do anything extreme right away, so Ye Chen has nothing to worry about.

Since the other party wants to play, let them play. Anyway, he's free now!

The TCM clinic definitely had a much higher patient volume than the Western medicine clinic.

To be precise, that Western medicine clinic seemed to be almost empty!

But is this entirely the fault of their traditional Chinese medicine clinic? I doubt it.

While the existence of traditional Chinese medicine clinics may take away some of their customers, as long as their treatments are effective and their services are good, there will always be people who want to go there.

After all, the majority of people still prefer Western medicine.

Ye Chen and his team had previously researched this Western medicine clinic.

Although he didn't know much about Western medicine, patients always came out of that clinic carrying a large bag of medicine.

Do I need to take so many medicines for a headache or fever?

Ordinary people aren't fools. They might passively accept it once or twice, but when better options become available, who wants to become a walking pharmacy?

This is people's own choice.

Now that business is slow, instead of looking for the reasons within themselves, they want to resort to dirty tricks. Isn't that blatant thuggish behavior?

But Ye Chen is the kind of person who is least afraid of hooligans.

He'd already sent that group of thugs to jail; Chen Hao was in the hospital and couldn't get out of bed!

Is the owner of this Western medicine clinic even more stubborn than Chen Hao?

Ye Chen returned to the clinic, gave Wenlong a few instructions, and then went out for a stroll.

Inside the Western medicine clinic, a middle-aged man brought in a thin young man of about seventeen or eighteen: "Boss, Xiao An is here!"

"Okay, you can go now!" The boss with the rooster-like voice dismissed the middle-aged man.

"Xiao An, I have something I need you to do!" The boss with the rooster-like voice said slowly to the thin young man.

"Boss Li, what do you want with me?!" The thin young man named Xiao An asked humbly.

The boss, with his rooster-like voice, snorted, "Xiao An, when are you going to pay back the 5 yuan your family owes me?"

The thin young man trembled: "Mr. Li, you know our family's situation. We really can't come up with that much money. Besides, it was my father who asked you for the money. Go ask him for it. We're just an orphan and a widow; we can't afford it!"

"Hmph, it's only right that the son pays for the father's debts. Your father ran away, so of course I have to find you and your mother!" The boss with the rooster-like voice slammed his hand on the table.

The thin young man was so frightened that he took two steps back, keeping a certain distance from the boss with the rooster-like voice.

"My mom divorced my dad a long time ago. There's no reason for him to ask us to pay back the money he borrowed. He's already emptied our pockets, so we don't have any money left. In short, it's definitely wrong for you to ask us for money!"

The thin young man, though somewhat lacking in confidence, still spoke with a stiff neck.
