Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen was focused on his cultivation when his phone rang.

Ye Chen stopped cultivating, took out his phone and glanced at it. It was a call from Li Wenlong.

Li Wenlong must have something to say when he calls at this hour, so Ye Chen answered the phone immediately.

"Hey, Wenlong, what's wrong?"

"Master, there's something I need to report to you. I have a feeling that our TCM clinic is being watched!" Li Wenlong said thoughtfully.

"Being targeted? What do you mean?" The first thing that came to Ye Chen's mind was the power behind that Western medicine clinic.

To be honest, Ye Chen didn't really want to provoke someone with that kind of physique.

Although he can protect himself and is not afraid of the other party, what about the people around him? These people are capable of anything.

Therefore, after the last incident, Ye Chen took the initiative to avoid this group of people and did not investigate who was behind them.

Let's all get along well and make money; let's each go our own way.

Li Wenlong explained, "It's like this: this morning I saw some people loitering suspiciously in front of our TCM clinic, and it wasn't just one person. They left after seeing me, but I saw them again this afternoon. I have a feeling they have ill intentions!"

Li Wenlong has been practicing cultivation for some time now, so his spiritual senses are definitely more acute than those of ordinary people.

Once they have a certain feeling, that feeling is generally correct; it's a judgment given by the body itself.

Since Li Wenlong has sensed the other party's malice, he must have been targeted.

Li Wenlong was unaware of the former owner of the Western medicine clinic, but Ye Chen was.

Therefore, Ye Chen directly connected the dots.

Presumably, that Western medicine clinic has a new manager.

That makes sense. How could someone leave such a lucrative place idle?

Ye Chen had already decided in his heart that they were from this group.

Revenge is impossible, because no one knows that this matter is related to Ye Chen.

The other party is most likely preparing to clear the obstruction, and they are probably here to scout the area in advance.

After all, they have KPIs to meet.

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard that a clinic had KPI assessments.

No wonder patients always come out with a big plastic bag full of medicine.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I roughly understand what's going on with the situation you described. Here's what we'll do: the TCM clinic will be closed for half a day tomorrow, and I'll discuss it further when I get there. Also, put up a notice at the entrance so that the villagers don't leave empty-handed; close early tonight!"

"Okay!" Li Wenlong nodded.

Their TCM clinic isn't in a remote location, so if the other party really wanted to cause trouble, they certainly wouldn't do it openly.

There should be no need to worry about the personal safety of Wenlong and Zhang Qian for the time being.

Even if someone wanted to harm Wenlong, with his current physique, he should be able to handle two or three people.

Otherwise, all your cultivation will be in vain.

After the two ended their call, Ye Chen began practicing the Five Elements Techniques.

It's definitely impossible to master all five in a short period of time.

Therefore, Ye Chen plans to master one skill first.

At the very least, this gives you one more way to attack and protect yourself.

Ye Chen ultimately chose to practice the power of fire first.

Fire has a wide range of uses in daily life, it is also quite lethal, and most importantly, it looks cool.

Just imagining the scene of throwing fireballs, Ye Chen thought it would be really cool.

Although the flame condensed from this spiritual energy was still a flame, Ye Chen clearly felt that it was much hotter than an ordinary flame.

It would probably hurt a lot if you were burned by this kind of fire.

This is also the main reason why he wanted to practice the power of fire first.

Whether they can win or not is another matter, but throwing a fireball first will boost morale and give them the upper hand.

Afterwards, cleaning up the scene is also convenient; a fireball leaves only ashes—a one-stop service!

Throughout the night, Ye Chen's room was flickering between light and shadow, and was filled with sweltering heat.

Winter has arrived, but Ye Chen shows no mercy to the season.

Anyone who didn't know the situation would definitely think there was a fire.

Fortunately, there weren't many people in the countryside, and everyone had gone to bed early.

It's said that people who play with fire will wet the bed, so Ye Chen didn't sleep all night and played with fire all night.

At dawn, Ye Chen looked at the flickering flame in his hand and smiled slightly.

After a night of hard practice, he can now conjure a fireball the size of his palm.

It finally looks decent enough, and its lethality has been significantly improved.

Of course, this fireball can't be thrown very far like it does on TV.

Biu~biu~biu~ flicking fireballs.

Given Ye Chen's current control, the fireball would become uncontrollable if it exceeded 3 meters, easily causing safety hazards.

Even so, Ye Chen was still quite satisfied.

Ye Chen took a Qi-boosting pill and cultivated until 7 a.m. before leaving the room feeling refreshed.

Mother Ye had already cooked the meal, and the family gathered together for a simple meal of porridge and side dishes.

Ye Chen said he was leaving today, so his mother went to the field and picked a large basket of vegetables for him to take with him, and also caught a big rooster.

Ye Chen did not refuse to take them all with him!

Ye Chen also left a portion of Ganoderma lucidum, instructing them to stew it themselves.

Anyway, if he leaves one portion, he'll still have three, enough to stew three times.

Knowing that Ye Chen was leaving, Da Huang rushed over and hugged Ye Chen's leg, looking like he wanted to go with him.

Ye Chen rubbed Da Huang's head: "Mom, Da Huang, come play with me for a while."

Mother Ye smiled and nodded, "If Da Huang wants to go with you, then take him. Your father and I will also visit you in Lucheng in a while!"

"Dad, you have a driver's license, but you haven't driven in a long time. Go to the county town and pick out a car you like, practice driving it. This card has 50 yuan for your car purchase budget, no limit. The password is my birthday!"

As Ye Chen spoke, he handed a card to his father.

"You silly child, your TCM clinic is just starting out, and you need money right now. You haven't even touched the 20 yuan you gave the family!" Mr. Ye pushed the card back.

Mother Ye chimed in, "Yes, don't worry about the family. Keep the money for yourself. Even if you want to buy a car, we ordinary folks can just buy a car that costs tens of thousands of yuan. We don't need that much money!"

Ye's mother clearly had some understanding of the car market.

Do you know roughly how much a normal family sedan costs?

Indeed, for an average family, buying a car for 10 yuan is already considered quite good.

This is also the consumption concept of ordinary people.

Ye's parents knew that Ye Chen was rich, but they didn't know how rich he was.

Therefore, she still adheres to the consumption concept of saving money wherever possible, and does not want to add too much burden to Ye Chen.

"I don't think it's necessary to buy a car. You can drive a motorcycle all the time. You already have a car at home. You don't have to go to Lucheng every day. You can just call a ride-sharing service!" Mr. Ye said thoughtfully.

Ye Chen shook his head: "I was originally thinking of letting my dad drive the A6, but with the complicated road conditions in our village, a minivan isn't really suitable for this kind of driving. A higher chassis would be better for driving."

"Besides, Dad likes off-road vehicles, so I wanted him to buy another one. I've left the A6 there for my friends to use in emergencies!"
