Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up; it was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy.

That old man had a limited understanding of formations, and his spirit-gathering formation was just a copycat attempt.

You can tell just by looking at the patterns on these jade stones; they're crooked and uneven, like something a novice would do.

Ye Chen didn't know whether it was supposed to be crooked like this, or whether he had just imitated it wrong.

"The Essentials of Battle Formations" perfectly fills in his knowledge gaps in this area.

Maybe if he improves it and draws it better, the effect will be even better!

After checking everything and finding no flaws, Ye Chen left.

He remained invisible throughout the journey, practicing his aerial maneuvers.

Half a meter above the ground, half floating, half flying...

What should have been a 20-minute drive felt like a 2-hour marathon to him.

Fortunately, it eventually flew back to Longjin Community without incident.

This was also the farthest flight Ye Chen had ever attempted. Although the speed was a bit slow, it was still acceptable.

I saved tens of yuan on a taxi ride.

With the old man at number 999 dealt with, the TCM clinic can finally operate normally.

Ye Chen hadn't received any hidden reward pills in a long time.

As for whether the Wang family would come after him, Ye Chen was no longer so worried.

Perhaps it was because he had just defeated a formidable enemy at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining that he was now fearless in the face of ordinary difficulties.

Once you've cleared all the hellish difficulty dungeons, clearing elite dungeons will be a piece of cake!

If the Wang family were to send a Foundation Establishment expert, let him have a look!

In the afternoon, after waking up, Li Wenlong couldn't wait to go back after hearing that the traditional Chinese medicine clinic could resume normal operations.

He felt unwell after not seeing any patients for several days!

With the dust settling on the incident involving Master No. 999, life seems to have returned to normal all of a sudden.

Around 3:30 PM, Ye Chen scanned and backed up the "Wu Family's Free and Easy Scripture" and then directly traded for "Essentials of Formation Techniques".

Ye Chen immediately focused his mind on learning without hesitation.

The Essentials of Formations explains some basic principles of formation patterns and common combinations.

It's something so basic it couldn't be more basic.

However, this couldn't be more suitable for Ye Chen, as he needed these basic things.

The essentials of formations only list one common formation as a learning reference: the Sect Protection Formation.

About 30 minutes later, Ye Chen stood up with bright eyes.

What kind of sect-protecting formation is that? He doesn't need such a large formation.

Of course, the size of this formation can be changed depending on the number of array points and the arrangement of the array bases.

It's not impossible to shrink it down into a protective array for the house.

However, this is not Ye Chen's main concern right now.

He still wanted to figure out the Spirit Gathering Array first.

The Spirit Gathering Array is the most useful to him right now, and it's practically a divine array for a place like Blue Star where spiritual energy is scarce.

Ye Chen examined these old jade stones for a while, and after careful comparison, he finally understood the array patterns.

Ye Chen shook his head as he looked at the array patterns, which differed greatly from those in his mind.

That old man really didn't understand formations; his attempt to imitate them was completely off.

With such a huge difference, it's no wonder the Spirit Gathering Array wouldn't be effective.

Of course, it's not necessarily that the old man drew it incorrectly; he probably stole it from someone else.

This thing might have been passed down from generation to generation, but the transmission has gone astray!

After all, hand-drawn sketches are bound to contain errors.

Ye Chen was itching to make some changes, but he didn't have any jade to carve.

The array plate is equivalent to the array eye; this thing looks like it was passed down from generation to generation, so there's no need to change it.

If you want to make changes, you only need to modify the array patterns on the 8 jade stones.

However, modifying it directly on top would destroy the original array pattern.

To be on the safe side, Ye Chen did not act rashly and decided to first go and find some jade.

After all, he might understand it in his mind, but his hands might not be able to...

If it gets damaged, we'll lose money.

Whether for practice or burning, a considerable amount of jade is required.

You definitely can't buy this directly from a jewelry store; it's ridiculously expensive.

Ideally, you should just buy the raw material directly and have him process it himself.

The Seven Star Sword is not much harder to cut stone than tofu, so processing is not a problem; all that's needed is to buy the materials.

Not only does it save you money, but you can also find great products.

Ye Chen directly searched online for places in Lucheng that wholesale stone materials.

The nearest place to him is the antique market, where there is a jade gambling hall. It is said that all the jade is from Myanmar, and if you are lucky, you can find something good.

Ye Chen is the kind of person who acts on his thoughts immediately, so he got ready to go out right away.

Before leaving, Ye Chen glanced at the diligently training dog, Da Huang, and had a sudden inspiration. He used the old jade stones he had on hand to set up a spirit-gathering array for Da Huang's doghouse!

Although Ye Chen looked down on these poorly drawn array patterns, it was because his standards had risen.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this thing is still a good thing!

Didn't that old man who was almost at the Foundation Establishment stage use this formation to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?

So let's use it for now, and replace it when he gets the jade!

Refined grains taste good, but whole grains can also fill your stomach.

He stuffed the array plate into Big Yellow's nest, considering it a temporary perk for Big Yellow.

Big Yellow proactively approached and telepathically asked, "Master, what are you fiddling with?"

"Good stuff, you'll see soon enough. Keep a close eye on this thing, don't damage it!"

Ye Chen gave a mysterious instruction before getting up and leaving.

"So mysterious..." Da Huang looked puzzled, but didn't pay much attention and continued to train his body.

But about half an hour later, Da Huang's eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately stopped his body tempering and began to try cultivating instead...

Although the spiritual energy was still thin, it could sense it a little bit. The clever dog would certainly not let go of any opportunity to improve.

It didn't know why there was a faint spiritual energy in the air. Although it was pitifully little, it was better than nothing!

Is this a gift from nature? Or did its owner just create it?

Just keep practicing, little by little you'll accumulate experience!

That's how it acquired its seventh level of Qi Refining cultivation!

Ye Chen drove to the antique market and found the jade gambling shop according to the navigation.

However, it's not called a jade gambling museum, but an art museum. There are two large stones at the entrance, so they didn't even bother with stone lions.

Ye Chen thought to himself, "I'm sorry, I'm here today to do wholesale."

After taking the next X-ray vision pill, he looked at the two large stones at the door. There was indeed some green, but not much; it was almost all on the cut surfaces.

This master chef is really good at cutting; he cuts so precisely that he probably didn't waste a single bit.

Such a large piece must have cost a lot of money.

Ye Chen walked straight into the art gallery without stopping.

There were many stones inside, big and small, and of course, many people, big and small as well...

Ye Chen was engrossed in looking at something in the crowd, seemingly searching for something.

It wasn't until someone reminded him, "Sir, are you alright? Do you need some tissues?"

The speaker was a waitress.

When Ye Chen came to his senses, he noticed that there were already a few drops of blood on the floor from his nose.

"Oh, no thanks, I've been feeling a bit feverish lately!"
