Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ordinary people cannot detect spiritual energy, but he is now a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining.

Having taken three Cleansing and Marrow-Cleansing Pills, his spiritual perception was far stronger than that of ordinary people.

He was all too familiar with that feeling; chicken soup for the soul truly contained a spiritual essence.

Another thing that puzzled Ye Chen was that if the spiritual energy was really contained in the chicken soup, he had eaten quite a lot of chicken before, and he had just drunk chicken soup at the hotel a few days ago, so why didn't he have any?

Ye Chen ladled out another bowl of chicken soup and took a satisfied sip.

"Hey kid, don't just drink the soup! How are you going to eat if you're full of soup?" Uncle grumbled.

"Second Uncle, where did you buy this chicken?" Ye Chen asked his second uncle.

Second Uncle grinned, tilting his chin up proudly:

"Isn't it delicious? Let me tell you, this chicken is a genuine mountain rooster, it hasn't even inhaled exhaust fumes. An old man picked it out to sell, and I bought it because it looked pretty good. One chicken weighs over 6 pounds, wow!"

Ye Chen nodded: "They really are delicious. If you come across any next time, please send me a few, this size is the best!"

"Hey, you're pretty picky, kid. Let me tell you, a free-range chicken costs 75 yuan a pound, so this one will cost four or five hundred yuan. You have to transfer the money to me. I've used all my money to pay off the mortgage on this house in Lucheng. Otherwise, I could definitely send you a few!" Uncle picked up a chicken neck and started gnawing on it.

"Of course, money is no problem, as long as we can buy something truly rustic!" Ye Chen immediately put a big chicken leg on his second uncle's plate.

My second uncle was quite pleased: "Okay, I'll send it to you as soon as I see it. These kinds of local products are quite common in our small county!"

Ye Chen picked up his phone and immediately transferred 10 yuan to his second uncle.

"I'll transfer some to you first. If you see any of these free-range chickens, buy them and send them over. City people can't get their hands on these, so I'll resell them to them at a high price!"

Ye Chen spoke with a smile.

My second uncle picked up his phone and glanced at it, but when he saw that number, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Hey kid, you typed the wrong zero, didn't you? Why are you transferring so much money to me? You don't need this much even for wholesale!"

"That's right, I'm going to do wholesale. I'll charge you 100 yuan per jin, and you can pay for the shipping upon delivery!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Heh, you still want me, the middleman, to make a profit? The price should be the price. How could I make money off you? Do you have any shame?" Second Uncle glanced at Ye Chen sideways.

"Hey, we're talking business here. Even delivery guys get paid for running errands. I'm not going to eat all of this myself. You have to make that money, or someone else will have to!"

Ye Chen said seriously, "These free-range chickens that are several years old are almost impossible to find in big cities. I know a lot of wealthy people, so I can sell them to them for a high price and make a fortune!"

Of course, Ye Chen said this to comfort his second uncle. He would not actually sell the chicken. He didn't need the meager sum; he could use it as a gift.

Uncle Ye hesitated after hearing what Ye Chen said: "You won't make much money reselling this. City people don't really know their stuff. The cost of one chicken is several hundred yuan. How are you going to sell it for? McDonald's chickens are only 16 yuan each!"

He was worried that Ye Chen was just acting on impulse and messing around, and that he would be in trouble if he couldn't sell them!

"Don't worry, I have no shortage of customers. Just send them to me. Besides, I don't care about this little bit of money. I still have some spare cash!" Ye Chen deliberately put on a show of wealth and power to appease his second uncle.

Second Uncle curled his lip: "Don't pretend to be rich, kid. Even if you're wealthy, you should keep a low profile. Money isn't meant to be squandered like that. You're not even married yet; there are plenty of other things you'll need money for!"

"Hehe, I know, but we're right here in front of you, there's no need for all that beating around the bush between uncle and nephew!" Ye Chen grinned.

My second uncle pondered for a while, considering the feasibility of this idea: "How about this, I'll send you a few over to test the waters first. If it works out, then I'll send you a larger batch, or you can pre-order and I'll send them over. That way, even if there's no market for them, it won't be too much of a loss; we can just keep them for ourselves!"

"Besides, 100 yuan per jin is too expensive. Even if I earn a delivery fee, I wouldn't need that much. I can just use 10 or 20 yuan for gas!"

"Take this money back, you don't need that much!" Second Uncle said, returning the money directly to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen twirled it again: "Hey, keep it. I might need it sometime as pocket money, or as initial capital for a business!"

Ye Chen snatched his second uncle's phone and immediately tapped "accept".

Second Uncle wanted to refuse, but Ye Chen interrupted him directly.

"Second Uncle, listen to me. If I were eating it myself, I definitely wouldn't be telling you so much. Buying chickens takes time and energy, and it will interfere with your work. Besides, it's a long-term thing. Don't you have a job? Are you just going to work for nothing every day? Aren't you going to pay your mortgage? So you have to earn this errand fee, otherwise I won't let you help me anymore!"

Ye Chen looked directly at his second uncle and spoke seriously.

My second uncle pondered for a long time, then shook his head helplessly: "Sigh, you're just like your mother. Fine, I'll keep the money for now. Let me know if you ever need money!"

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Ye Chen then placed another chicken wing on his second uncle's plate.

Ye Chen felt that, in terms of value alone, this kind of ingredient imbued with spiritual energy could not be measured in monetary terms.

He really wanted to take as much as he could!

Ye Chen had two guesses as to why the rooster contained spiritual energy:

Firstly, the rooster crows in the east, before the sun even rises, making it one of the beneficiaries of the spiritual energy at sunrise.

Secondly, the rooster was free-range in the countryside, eating grains and small insects. It had been around for a long time, so over time, it had accumulated a certain spiritual energy within it!

This kind of free-range farming in rural areas is truly free-range; at most, they come back to eat three meals a day, and the rest of the time they roam all over the mountains.

This is completely different from the so-called free-range chickens shown in online live streams nowadays.

They're out of the cage in a month or two, they're nothing compared to free-range chickens.

They're just using the guise of free-range farming to deceive people.

Of course, it's also necessary to verify whether this chicken is special.

Besides chickens, do other plants and animals possess this spiritual energy?

This was something Ye Chen had previously overlooked, but today this rooster served as a reminder to him.

Ye Chen thought of the nourishing gift box he had won in the previous mooncake gambling game, which contained high-grade wild ginseng.

Whether or not it possesses spiritual energy, that thing should be quite telling.

Ye Chen is a man of action; he got up and left in a hurry halfway through his meal.

"Where are you going? To get diarrhea?" my second uncle asked, puzzled.

"I'll be right back, you eat first!" Ye Chen said before disappearing from the restaurant.

"Could it really be diarrhea, and he's too weak to handle the nourishment?" my second uncle muttered. "Young people just don't know how to exercise restraint!"

Ye Chen opened a nourishing gift box and took out the ginseng inside.

This thing is as hard as a rock. Ye Chen smelled it and found it had a strong ginseng scent, but no spiritual energy.

"Does it need to be stewed or boiled?" Ye Chen muttered to himself.

Never mind, let's give it a try first!
