Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen grinned: "Hehe, Old Zhou, take it easy, don't get drunk first!"

"Even if you get drunk, I'll never get drunk!" Old Zhou tilted his head back, half-drank his drink, and then hurriedly took a sip of mineral water!

Ye Chen tilted his head back and drank the remaining half-bucket of liquor!

Aside from feeling a little full, I felt no pressure at all!

And so, as they drank, each of them probably drank more than a pound.

Old Zhou and Dongzi were already quite tired, but Ye Chen was still full of energy!

......

Finally, after a satisfying meal, both hosts and guests enjoyed themselves immensely.

Old Master Zhou was helped to rest by Zhou Caiwei.

Dongzi was helped back by Lin Rongrong.

Ye Chen said he felt no pressure at all. Drunk? Impossible!

So I guess I'll have to walk back by myself?!

Unexpectedly, not far from the hospital gate, Zhou Caiwei ran out: "Brother Ye Chen, wait for me! Let me help you back!"

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback: "Do I look drunk to you?"

Zhou Caiwei glared at him: "Drunk people always say they're not drunk, but I say you're drunk, so you're drunk!"

Without waiting for Ye Chen's consent, she took his arm and left!

Well, who could resist such great benefits!

As they walked, Ye Chen's face darkened: "Hey girl, are you going to help me or am I going to help you? You're practically hanging on me!"

"Oh, oh!" Zhou Caiwei then calmed down a bit and took Ye Chen's arm again.

Zhou Caiwei didn't know the way or if she was deliberately taking Ye Chen along to help him digest after the meal.

The two families were not far apart, but they made it feel like a marathon.

Finally, when there was no other way to detour, we had no choice but to go back.

"If we walk any further, we'll be leaving the residential area. How about I take you back?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Okay!" Zhou Caiwei agreed without hesitation!

Ye Chen nodded repeatedly.

In the end, he still sent Zhou Caiwei back.

The person who came to give someone a ride ended up being given a ride back by the person who gave them a ride.

That night, Ye Chen was somewhat excited, perhaps because he had drunk too much; in any case, he was a little excited.

Therefore, he had no choice but to cultivate.

He took ten Qi-boosting pills and began cramming-style cultivation!

Now he feels that he is becoming more and more adept at cultivation. Before, cultivation felt like completing a task, but now it is something he can do at will without having to force it.

It may also be related to the pills I took before.

As the Qi-replenishing pill absorbed more of its spiritual power, the spiritual energy within Ye Chen's Qi Sea began to rotate on its own again.

It revolves around a spiritual water droplet in the center.

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. Oh wow!

Ye Chen was all too familiar with this feeling; it was a sign that he was about to break through!

The surprise came too suddenly!

This breakthrough came earlier than he expected. Was it because he was too excited?

Although he had already experienced it once, Ye Chen still dared not be distracted and focused intently on breaking through.

Time passed by, minute by minute, and no one knew how much time had gone by.

In the middle of the night, Ye Chen, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Second level of Qi Refining!"

Ye Chen muttered to himself.

At this moment, his Qi Sea was larger than before, and two droplet-shaped liquid spiritual energy floated in the middle of the Qi Sea, which was the symbol of the second level of Qi Refining!

After breaking through, he felt completely refreshed and full of energy. Now, he couldn't sleep at all!

Ye Chen simply began practicing the Wind and Thunder Seal and the Sword Control Technique.

These two are the only techniques he knows!

"Don't bite off more than you can chew," Ye Chen was already quite content with two techniques.

The next day, Ye Chen was still full of energy. It's good to be young; he was still so energetic even after not sleeping all night!

The TCM clinic is now on the right track, and there's no particular need to go there in the short term.

So Ye Chen plans to go back to his hometown first!

However, his second uncle called him.

"Hey, Second Uncle, what brings you to call me?" Ye Chen asked with a smile as he answered the phone.

"Oh, I'm on vacation these two days. I'm planning to go to Xiamen to relax later. I bought you a free-range chicken to help you recover!" The noisy voice came from my second uncle's other end. It seemed like he was at the market!

"Take a break?" Ye Chen asked, noticing the key phrase, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Hey, it's nothing serious. Last time I changed the contact name for your aunt's brother and sister-in-law in her phone to 'harassing calls' and 'scam calls,' but I forgot about it after I got back. Nothing was wrong until yesterday when it all came to light. Her brother came to her door demanding to know why your aunt wasn't answering her phone..."

My second uncle's helpless voice came through the phone.

Ye Chen was astonished. Holy crap, you can do that?

"Second Uncle, it has to be you! Most people wouldn't even think of such a clever idea!" Ye Chen exclaimed sincerely.

"Hehe, it still backfired. No matter how I tried to explain, it was no use. Your aunt is convinced that I changed the nickname and won't let me in. I even slept outside last night!" The second uncle said with a wry smile.

"Then come to Lucheng! Come to my place, I have plenty of empty rooms!" Ye Chen said directly.

"That's why I'm coming. I just wanted to let you know. Oh, and don't tell Tingting, okay? Don't let it affect her studies!" Uncle Er reminded her.

"Hehe, got it, I'll make the arrangements tonight!" Ye Chen chuckled, revealing a lewd expression.

"Stop talking nonsense, your second uncle is a respectable man!" the second uncle said with a laugh.

Ye Chen nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I understand. Just go straight into the residential area when you get there, and I'll tell the security guard!"

"Okay, I'll arrive in about 5 minutes by car. I'll contact you then!"

The two ended the call.

Since my second uncle is coming, let's postpone our trip home for a few days.

Just before midnight, my second uncle finally arrived, carrying a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right!

I don't know why the driver gave him a ride despite all this. What a great driver!

Ye Chen went out to greet him, somewhat helplessly: "Second Uncle, you're here, why did you bring chickens and ducks? I rarely cook for myself!"

"These are free-range in the countryside, different from those in big cities. I brought you two since I happened to have some!" Uncle said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

Ye Chen took his second uncle out for a meal. After the meal, his second uncle came to Ye Chen's villa and helped him process two chickens and ducks!

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only two; they are quite troublesome to deal with. Plucking, scrubbing, and washing them takes up half a day.

If it weren't for the fact that these are free-range chickens and ducks, there would be no need to waste this time!

You really have to put in some effort to eat good food.

After the chicken soup was cooked, Ye Chen took a sip and found it to be indeed sweet and delicious.

"How is it? The taste is different from the ones in the city, isn't it?" Second Uncle asked with a smile.

Ye Chen was about to speak when he realized that the food was indeed very fresh and sweet.

But he hesitated for a moment before he could say it.

Ye Chen looked at the soup in the bowl, his expression solemn, and took another sip.

Immediately afterwards, he gulped down the entire bowl of chicken soup.

This, this is, this is a trace of spiritual energy?!

Ye Chen ignored his second uncle and hurriedly went to get another bowl of chicken soup. No doubt about it, it really contained spiritual energy!

How could chicken soup contain spiritual energy?
